While I was disappointed with Samsung's decision to eliminate the capability of adding an SD card and accessing a removable battery, I have to admit I'm impressed with the S6 Edge. I purchased the 128 GB version in an attempt to eliminate memory needs for the foreseeable future. The phone itself is beautiful and has a much slimmer profile than my old S4. I find the edge feature a nice addition despite having read reviews that it's fluff. The night clock setting and customizable information updates are a welcome differentiator.
The organization of application shortcuts is laid out more conveniently in the S6 as compared with the S4. The user slides from the home screen in one direction (to the right), as opposed to both directions on the old model which resulted in having to remember where the desired shortcut resided. The graphics are a wonder and the volume control allows for very, very loud notifications if that's your thing. Battery life seems to be fine and I hope it continues to be a positive, as I ran into overheating problems with the S4. The ability to charge wirelessly is also a huge advantage.
One knock is the move of the power switch from the 1 o'clock position on the S4 to very nearly the 3 o'clock position on the S6 Edge. I find the likelihood of inadvertently pressing the power button is greatly increased on the latter.
Overall, I am really happy with my purchase and strongly recommend the S6 Edge.
Cons: power button location, inability to expand memory, inability to replace battery
I would recommend this to a friend!

Phone was everything I wanted. Love the features. Great for work and play. Size is fine. Screen looks great. So much to do with the phone, I still haven't learned everything it can do. Connects to everything I want and need it to via Bluetooth.
After reading the reviews of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge , I decided to give it a try. Well it was a wise choice. The S6 is a smooth operator and looks awesome. No lag, super fast and an exceptional piece of high tech electronics makes it my go to device.
