Let's get the negative stuff out of the way first. If it didn't come pre-loaded with as much bloatware, this phone would be top notch. I primarily use Google Chrome and Google Play Music on this device. So making some of the apps (default browser, music player, Uber, etc) non-removable makes it a bit frustrating.
Now for the positive features. The phone's design is fantastic. It truly feels like a premium phone. The battery life is great. If it ever gets low, I just plug it up to the Fast Charger and I have a decent charge within 15-30 minutes. If it's on Ultra Battery Saver mode, then you can go for a LONG time. I was camping with limited outlet access. I went for almost 3 days from a full charge going into Ultra Power Saving. I plugged it into an outlet twice for 10 minutes while I was at the camp showers, but that was about it. I love the SideSync app! I'm not really supposed to have my phone out when I'm at work, but I just throw my phone on the screen of my computer and just carry on like normal. The camera is amazing! I can double click the home button, snap my picture, and put the phone away in a matter of 2-3 seconds. I love the response time and how clear everything turns out. I've taken a lot of high-resolution photos for my company's website and Facebook page with this device.
Overall, you can't go wrong with this phone. Samsung has made a choice piece of tech here.
Excellent phone but the quality of front camera lense.

Overall great phone, except quality on front camera lense. Easily gets scratch and affects the performance of the focus and detail camera shot. Very disappointed because I personally know 7 owners of the same type of phone and they all have the same problem like me. Not to mention hundreds of of other reviews with the same complaint. If you ( Samsung ) are spending time on perfecting a phone, it's wise to use quality material on parts that are use for daily performances of the phone. I still love mine but could be better.
The edge is a great phone. Looks good, operates well, and performs to my expectations. It falls a little short with not having a removable battery andthe lack of an SD card slot. This things are easily looked over though with its biggest flaw of finding a good and non expensive case to protect your device. I'm on my second edge already duse to not finding a reliable case for everyday activities. The pros of this device out weight the cons however as I find the device performs well the edge works as intended, sound is great, doesn't feel too wonky in the hand, and still fits ok in the pocket.
I used to have the Note 2. I love the size and style of the S6 edge. I've only had it for 2 weeks so still figuring things out. My only issue is the price. I think it's a very expensive phone, but I'm hoping I get what I pay for. I finally convinced my mother to switch from iPhone to the S6 edge, she'll NEVER switch back.
I originally owned an android and when everyone jumped on the iPhone bandwagon, I did too, but not for long, I am back to my Samsung, we are a Samsung family, even my refrigerator is a Samsung that has twitter and Pandora. I have even recommended this product to friends and some have switched to Samsung.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, sleek design, beautiful color, i don't accidentally butt dial people
