Good phone, but too much hype.

The display is absolutely incredible. The best I've seen. The wireless charging and finger print scanner are my favorite features. The design is nice. The phone is very comfortable in my hand. The scrolling side bar is nothing to write home about. The side bar for contacts on the other hand is a really nice feature. All in all, it's a great phone, but doesn't quite live up to the hype.
This phone is great and I love alot of things about it. The battery life is terrible and basically unacceptable at this point in technology. Really brings down the quality of the phone.
I've tried a lot of android phones and galaxy s6 edge is definitely the best one so far. the only thing which might be disappointing is that its getting extremely hot after long background/foreground activity (lets say bluetooth music streaming + navigation + wifi hot spot in the car)
I love this new phone, must say my previous phone was a Nokia Lumia 928. The Nokia phone was very sturdy and did many microsoft features well but as for other functions it was more or less a brick. I am loving that this phone has many apps that I missed using with my other phone because they were simply unavailable in the market. And, the functionality of this phone is alot easier.
I previously owned a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, which I enjoyed immensely. When the S6 came out, I read a couple of reviews and went to Verizon to explore its features and performance personally. I was impressed with the look, weight and feel of the phone. It was superfast and performed flawlessly.
I was particularly impessed with the slimmed down Touch Wiz android overlay. I like the absence of clutter and the speed of screen display when switching views. The settings menu is slimmed down also from the Note, but has all the functions needed plus some new ones.
The display and camera are outstanding, the best I've seen.
I hesitated in going smaller on screen size; but now have no problem with the size.
I have had all the Galaxy S phones 1-5 with Sprint. This Galaxy S6 edge is the best and fastest . The quick charge is Awesome. It charges from 0-100% in above 1 hour and 10 minutes. I also purchased the the new Samsung wireless pad and its a nice feature when im not in a hurry to charge. The camera is the best feature. Its quick to open the camera and the pictures come out fantastic. With the screen pictures pop.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is my first venture into the Galaxy product line. It's not my first experience with Samsung phones, or with other Samsung products. So far I'm quite pleased with the phone and its quality, something I've come to expect from a Samsung device.
The Galaxy S6 Edge is a sleek, stylish phone. The white, glossy exterior is wrapped in silver and finished off with chrome trimmings. It's thin and astonishingly light, which considering what the device is housing is really quite remarkable. The processor is capable of running multiple apps at once, including in split screen, with no hiccuping or noticeable delay. Not only are the apps running at full speed, but they are displayed in beautiful colors thanks to the powerful display. The phone comes with the latest version of Android, which i'm only now beginning to explore. I only have two, maybe three complaints about the phone, which unfortunately are the result of the phones Edge namesake: the wraparound screen. Currently, the wraparound display can only be activated by swiping that portion of the screen and is sometimes pretty finicky with registering your motion. It can also only be turned on permanently at certain hours of the day and these hours are pretty limited in how far they can be adjusted. The information displayed is also currently pretty minimal. You are capable of seeing notifications from certain, designated individuals, as well as time, date, battery level and weather information. Samsung will need to improve this feature of the device for it to really be a marketable feature. Last complaint: the wraparound screen also makes holding the device pretty frustrating. I feel like the phone is going to fall out of my hand and sometimes the phone will register my grip as touching the screen, resulting in unnecessary and unwanted input.
Overall, I'm really pleased with the phone. It's a very powerful, capable phone. I just want more out of the Edge wraparound display and hope Samsung has plans for future functions.
