I've had a few Samsung phones in the past and have always been pleased with them. When I saw the advertisement for the Galaxy S® 6 edge, I was intrigued. However, now that I have used the phone for a while, I can say that it is even better than I expected. Not only is it very attractively designed, light weight and intriguing to look at, every functional component has been thought out carefully. It is one of the few phones that I felt was an extension of my normal activities rather than me having to adapt to the phone. The screen resolution is amazing, the multitasking capability increases productivity and the call quality outstanding. I know that many would consider this to be a "premium" phone, but it is worth every penny.
Overall I love this phone. I have had it around 2 weeks now and it does what it says. One of the best features is the Fast Charger. It seems like it charges in no time flat.
The phone is fast. However one of the draw backs is the battery. I supposed on its design and the size of it you really can't expect a big battery to last very long. The battery during heavy use will drain fairly quick.. The Quick Charger certainly lives up to its hype charging a near dead phone in around an hour. Of course a lot depends on the software you run and the features you run concurrently. Power saving mode certainly helps but at the degradation of performance. During periods of time in which I will not be needing the phone and plugging it in is not an option I highly recommend ULTRA-Power Saving. It certainly does its job. I can leave it be for 8 hours not touching the phone for calls or anything an the max it drops is 3% typical is 1 to 2% Very handy feature they put on the status drawer.
Now, though, here is why i cannot currently recommend this phone. There is an apparent hardware anomaly affecting the accelerometer after the Fast Charger is used. This causes the accelerometer to malfunction and breaks the auto-rotate (as in it will not auto-rotate). A first I thought so big deal, then when I started using the camera, you have use it in the other orientation, for if you don't photos and videos will be upside down! Not cool.
Oh, and more thing. The camera, despite the rotation issue, is awesome! Fantastic photos. The downloadable add ons really add to the camera. The slow motion is awesome.
This phone is capable of shooting in 4K, I have not yet since it's default setting is FULL HD.
i don't have anything to criticize other than that the batteries don't last as long as I've been told. I love the edge and it's features. the design is lovely.
I was due for an upgrade months ago but researched to see if there was going to be a new release I then learned about the S6 Edge. I love it definitely worth the wait. I wish the battery life was better but other than that no complaints.
