Samsung S6 or S6 Edge
« on: Sun, 12 April 2015, 23:13:27 »
Thinking of getting the S6 edge,
I know most reviewer would recommend the normal S6 over the edge
but am I the only one who's hype over the new S6?

I'm a committed HTC M8 user, but those features and specs of the new S6 really get me going

I'm currently looking into an upgrade and was fairly set on the Nexus 6 but this Edge looks great. 32, 64, and 128GB models. Some decent space.

Edge battery 2600mAh while the Nexus is 3220mAh. That might make me stick with the Nexus.

They made 2 versions because their supply chain / manufacturing can’t build very many of the curved version, at least in the short term:

I got the Edge (for work, not because I particularly wanted it). The Edge features are pretty worthless to be honest. It's more about the design & aesthetics than functionality, and it doesn't feel great in the hand. I'd recommend a regular S6, or better yet, a Note 4.

That's actually the exact case I have. It does improve the ergonomics but it's still not great.

I wouldn't say it's a terrible phone -- great specs and features aside from the lack of microSD and removable battery -- I just don't really think the curved design is an improvement. It doesn't do anything important.

Well as long as it's not slipping off my hand too easily, I wont mind
Thx for the info
Still getting the edge for the look and something different though :)
