Great design but the battery doesn't last long unless you put it on ultra power saving mode which means your alerts don't come come through like they should
The phone is great but the screen is extremely sensitive. The voice message service is not as good as Apple and you better read that text before sending! Also, videos from a phone to phone are not clear at all. The files become compressed to the point of sacrificing quality. Don't message send your videos. Send them via e-mail and they are fine. The battery is very easily drained and - unlike t-phone - must be charged EVERY day or you will be without power.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I wish it had a better battery. Even with power save on and wifi and Bluetooth off, battery will barely make it to the end of the day. I love the screen and by far the best camera on a cell I've ever had. If you figure out ways to save your battery, you'll love the phone!
Debated between the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and the Apple iPhone. Had experience with both Apple and Samsung, but preferred the more natural and intuitive operating system of the Samsung. Decided to stay with my preference, instead of running with the cult. The vibrant colors and clarity of the S6 display is superior to the Apple. And the design far exceeds Apple's.
The top of the line (128GB) Samsung Galaxy S6 edge felt nice to hold, seemed sturdy and looked great. Unfortunately, ownership demonstrated just how far from reality it is to use this device on a daily basis.
On the positive side, the performance seemed to be great compared to my Galaxy S4. It seemed to degrade much faster than I had expected, but it was still fairly responsive after loading all my apps and heavy usage.
The downsides were many. The camera lens protrudes from the back of the phone, ensuring that the phone does not sit flat on any surface, unless you have a case. It also ensures that without a case the camera lens WILL BE scratched, as is likely for the front curved glass, as well. Needing a case for such a thin and attractive device is really a shame.
The curved front glass of the edge was also an annoyance when reaching to pick up the device when it was laying on its back. Even with a case, I often inadvertently launched an application or activated some other feature because the sides are so thin. This also happened while holding the device in my hand, though less often. The two features that came installed to take advantage of the edge (quick contacts and notifications/clock while the rest of the screen is off) were not compelling enough to justify the drawbacks.
The worst part of the experience was when the front glass cracked and shattered. The phone was in my pocket when it happened, but I believe it was due to leaning against the hard corner of a wooden desk - something that I was extremely disappointed would cause such damage. It seems that the curved glass is MUCH more fragile than a flat pane.
I wanted to like the device and was overly optimistic about it, but after already sacrificing so many other features that I wanted - such as water resistance, SD card storage, and swappable battery, I fully regret buying this device.
Cons: Did not meet expectations, fragile
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The screen is incredible. Like really incredible. The resolution is better than my eye can see.the S6 screen takes it to a whole new level. Even though you can't see pixels on either screen. the curve is cool really cool.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, design, material
