Much better than iPhone .. fast excellent image quality

It is fast. Screen size perfect. After many years of iPhone my galaxy s6 edge and I love my phone. Comparing it to the iPhone 6. The iPhone 6 screen was to small. The iPhone 6 plus to big for the pocket to carry around. But the galaxy s6 edge is just perfect. I would like to see an improved battery that would last a little longer. But I would say better than iPhone 6 battery. Great apps.
The first thing that comes to mind when looking at this phone is wow. The melding of metal and glass has given this phone the premier feel Samsung has been lacking. The duel edge of the curved glass presents an amazingly futuristic look that sets it apart from every other phone on the market
When it comes to use; I am impressed by Samsung's user interface. Unlike previous versions, it is relatively easy to navigate. The customization is still one of the best on the market. I would have liked to have seen ajustable keyboard hight. The ability to rearrange the apps on the home screen, and the apps menu is a redeeming quality.
The place this phone really shines is in the screen display. Fantastic colors, solid audio, and the absence of a bezel makes watching movies and videos an amazing experience. This carries over in normal browsing and photos as well.
The camera takes a step toward replacing the need for a personal camera. The addition of promode, 3d photo, and the post photo editing features; can transform photos of an amature photographer into frame worthy portraits.
Battery could be better. This is one phone that requires a charging unit of some kind be brought along on any even moderate use. Now the wireless charging option means this isnt as bad as the corded alternatives.
Using the phone on the Verizon network means I've got a better bet than most of having coverage. However this phone isn't the best. In areas with great reception, this phone is great. If your driving through a spotty area, don't be suprised if you drop a call.
The cost of this phone is one area where that premium build hits home. With the 64gb internal storage running $100.00 more than the standard model it means anyone that uses their phone for movies, music, books, or heavy photos is going to have to pony up a nice chunk of change.
The price is steep, but it goes back to the old saying you get what you pay for. This phone has a great deal to offer anyone looking for a premier device.
Last but not least; the unsung. Wireless charging has been touched on before, but it really is a feature that revolutionizes this device. Coupled together with the Samsung Gear VR s6, this phone has the ability to transform how people view movies, games, and reality. This feature can't be understated, as it rrally makes this the phone of the future.
And finally the edge exclusive features. Some of the features from the Note Edge came over, many did not.
The features that did; color display do for select contacts is cool. This would be more interesting if the groups could be given a color and more so than 5. Swop notification and the night clock are both solid features that improve overall quality of phone usage.
Features that did not; side display apps. The ability to put short cut apps into the edge of the Note Edge was geniua. The s6 edge does not have this feature at this time.
Very great product that I've already been able to integrate with my work's printer/copier, and television. The split-screen with multiple app's is great for multitasking, and I find the fingerprint recognition to be more reliable than the iPhone's. I also like the Power Saving mode's (I've already had to use the Ultra Power Saving Mode when my battery was at 4%--it lasted the entire day until I was able to retrieve my charger).
The only drawback I have is the excessive number of apps already loaded onto the phone at purchase. While some were apps that I find useful and were not aware of before such as the Peel Smart Remote, there are many that I had to spend time deleting immediately.
Overall: a very satisfied Samsung customer, and look forward to sticking around.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Galaxy S6 edge provides a more immersive multimedia experience. The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge's wraparound screen transforms an already great phone into Samsung's best-looking handset. Ever.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: edge doesn't support swappable batteries or memory
I would recommend this to a friend!

Samsung has hit another home run.

Since I was an S5 owner the switch over feature was as simple as tying your shoe. I would caution that the "swipe" is very data hungry. We did 1gb in a milisecond. Not prepared for that. All the new features have been well thought out, properly tested and are a joy to have. Keep up the good work. My wife is switching from iPhone to Samsung soon. I was suprised! The first day I received the phone and didn't have it registered with Verizon she used it all day. I hade trouble getting it back.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, feature rich with apps that make sence., the edge features on special callers is impressive, the night "light" edge time is another great featu
I would recommend this to a friend!

2 weeks in and it's gone.

I got this phone around two weeks ago, and it was great. Since then everything has gone down hill. It started with the calling. After about a week and a half I couldn't hear anyone. I know that is a lot to expect to be able to make calls from a phone, but still. Another week in and music stopped being able to be played, and random noises started coming from it. I have a friend with the regular S6 who has the same problem, so it may be a software problem. At this point I had to do a hard reset, because I restarted my phone, and it refused to boot back up even in safe mode. Other than the fact that it doesn't work very well it is beautifully designed, and has lots of nifty features.
Pros: Bright display, Built-in speakers
Cons: Did not meet expectations, random noises, music doesn't play
