I want to try Samsung products for the first time. Which one should I get? S6 or S6 Edge? I really love the design of S6 edge, looks so beautiful. But is it worth the price?
I think if you'll do it ,you should do it right..go for the Edge..!!
for a first time Samsung user, try Edge;
want big? think big then
The good news is the Note 5 will be along in about 6 months so if you get bored or want to go bigger you will likely get the dual edge on the Note 5 with internal storage and sealed battery.
S6 edge for sure

S6 edge is better to buy.
Samsung was done a big new things on s6 and edge such as camera it is un comparable. And exynos 7420 will give more fast experience otherthan every smartphone in the world.
100% Personal Preference. :good:
I'd say go EDGE ALLLLL DAY! Rack them sales up for Samsung so they see the positive response for the development of the next Note 5 LOL...j/k
GO EDGE. :good:
Please don't go by what everyone here is saying. Just go to the shop, and try the demos. See why works best for you? That's what I did, and I'm going with the Edge personally. You might not like it though, or maybe to you its not worth the extra $100? Try before you buy.
im thinking there will be a rom that allows S6 Edge features on the S6
Yeah I am also torn between the two
Wondering if it were worthwhile trading a G4 for an S6 Edge. I know the answers I'll likely get because this is in the S6 forum but thought I'd ask. Nothing wrong with my G4 I just get bored with phones easy and wanted to try my first Samsung since the Galaxy Nexus. Going to post around Craigslist looking for a suitor.

The galaxy s6 edge is still the best phone on the market. Comparing it to the LG G4, it has a superior processor and display, as well as build quality. If you can, I would recommend you buy one that is unbranded so that it has far less bloatware. While the G4 has a removable battery, I have no problem going five days without plugging my phone in.
Thanks for the reply. I love the G4 and I dont have any problems with it..Just a bit bored. I saw a friend's Edge+ and got a bit jelly.

Personally I am no fan of Phablets.
The curved display seems gimmicky,
however I find people edge to be a useful feature.
I would actually recomend the S6 edge over the Edge+ any day.

I definitely wouldn't want the edge+ or note. Just a regular edge or s6

I actually find the theme store to be my favorite feature of it.
If you decide to buy this phone, you will not be dissapointed
I was looking at the S6 and the Edge or should I wait a few more months and hope the S7 comes late Jan or Feb
I heard Samsung was suppose to announce the S7 in January this year, but thats still months off from release. The S6 is nice and all but personally I didnt think it was worth the upgrade from the S5.
The S7 is probably the upgrade I'd want, Samsung might put the expandable memory back in, so that's always a plus over the S6 if true.
The edge is super cool, but just isnt practical enough for me personally, but you might want to check it out.
Hi there i've been using galaxy a8 since october and seeing that the s6 edge/edge+ is on a huge discount, i decided it,s time to upgrade. Now a lot of folks may say that i should have done some research over the forum prior to posting here and i want to tell you that i've done and what i see is it definitely is worth upgrading. But my questions circle around two matters.
1.I've done some research on the battery life of s6 edge/edge+ and seeing all the mixed feedback, i thought i'd ask about it so coming from an a8, i actually have pretty good battery life on it as it's screen is 1080p and i wonder how the s6 edge/edge+ fares on this department especially the difference between lollipop and marshmallow updates.
2.The s6 edge+ has 4gb ram while s6 edge has 3 does this 1gb of ram difference provides any significant improvement over the latter whatsoever?
Thanks in advance.
Mine's on lollipop yet... everything in this device is good... except the battery... it's awful!
I would recommend you to go for a S7 Edge or even a G4 (my girlfriend has and is very happy with it)
Don't waste your money.
I actually kinda hate G4's design as i'm in love with edge flagships'. What do you mean by that Tronix666?
My galaxy s6 edge has terrible battery life on lollipop but when i got my mm update my battery life improved immensely due to mm doze. I had to downgroade to wnable ny hotspot unfortunately but once someone gets it working on mm ill be upgrading in a heartbeat.

Hello everyone,
I would like some opinions coz i'm about to buy one of the title's phones.
In my country there is a difference in price about 50 euros between 6p and s7 edge but that's not a matter to me.
I do care about developing apps on android and i do care about every possible update by google.
I would like also to have better support on roms/kernels and stuff in the future
Google stops guaranteed updates on 6p - September 2017
What is gonna be the advantage of having a nexus device after it?
Is it still possible to find better support + custom roms for 6p instead of s7 after September?
Thanks a lot
I considered the Edge, an year ago, when I bought my 6P. But I wanted a larger and bigger screen and the edge just wouldn't cut it.
Check the S7 edge forums to see how it is the development, but at this stage and considering its still somewhat a recent device, theres naturally less roms and development support (also due the fact this is a nexus which makes development much easier).
If a bigger screen and development arent so important for you, I'd say it's a good phone, I have friends that own it and are happy with it.
I have my 6P for more than a year. If I could go back I would not get the 6P and wait to take the S7 Edge. There are plenty of ROMs available for S7 Edge and also more diversity in them. I mean that the ROMs here for the 6P are basically all the same(don't everyone rush to correct me. I know they come with a lot of extras, but they are basically an extra menu and no so much or no at all changes in the Android user exp). I miss the opportunity to have the choice to try some more "exotic" options like MIUI(there is MIUI rom in the forums, but it's dead and with lots of bugs so... don't count it), ColorOS and stuff like this.
And also the S7 Edge has wireless charging, ip68 and microSD support. I really miss the SD(I came from Note 3). I am tired of cleaning up when shooting some high res videos or pics :/
And also the camera on S7 Edge is considered one of the best or maybe the best till date.
This is my subjective oppinion ofc.
Check the S7 Edge forum to see what development looks like.
As far as Nexus phones go, my Nexus 5 (2013) is running Nougat just fine right now.

I understand what you mean, and that is the "problem" with nexus devices, all roms are CAF/AOSP based with little support for third party roms like MIUI and ColorOS and all that stuff.
Looking back 5 years ago we could find those roms for lot's of devices, now I think things are getting more "stricter" in that sense.
But hey, I got a 6P exactly for this so.. while all "aosp/caf" look alike, they are so damn smooth and functional!

I hardly doubt someone buys a nexus and thinks "hey, I'd love a MIUI on my phone". Hahaha.
I was in the same position when I finally decided to go with 6P. In terms of hardware, I think S7 Edge is a superior phone with a better battey life (except for the camera which I think 6P's much better especially in lowlight and with HDR+).
However, in terms of rom development and software support, S7 Edge is really lagging behind. Not to mention with most of these vendors such as Samsung, Sony, etc., when you switch to another custom rom, you lose the camera quality and many other exclusive functions available only on their own official roms. Thus, I think only nexus phones (which sadly have come to an end) and now oneplus phones should be your choice when custom roms and fast updates are your thing!
I my own opinion, the S7 Edge isn't better than the 6P. The two are a very good photo-phone. I think the 6P is slightly better than the S7 in low light environment and use HDR+ like a charm.
Remember that the S7 Edge is newer than the 6P with release date 6 month after the 6P. I love the 6P for the multimedia experience with the 2 speakers in front of the phone with a really better immersion when you are watching movies or playing games.
When you buy a Pure android phone, it's for developpement purpose or to have a phone with an OS as clear as possible isn't ?
If you want an exotic ROM, buy an exotic phone

The front speakers on 6P are like every phone should have them, no doubt. I don't know how the vendors did not learn already this and are still putting them on the sides or even back. This is great plus!
For the low light... I guess it is arguable. I have a friend with S7 edge, and I have to admit, he got better ones than me. :/

Yep, with the old nexus-es I had, I got to try all kinds of stuff. And this was the best, since you get some unique ROMs and some of them match to your liking. Now - not the case anymore. :/
And for all of the guys who comment bad about the more unknown and distant ROMs(most chinese), I think they get their knowledge by just reading some articles and watching videos or maybe some old experience.
For example - I still have my Galaxy Note 3 with latest MIUI 8(all s-pen , camera mods and other stuff works perfectly). It is just as fast as my 6P and it is 2013 phone.
Now there are only few phones(at least from the late flagships) that you have the opportunity to try quite a number of totally different ROMs in terms of overall expirience.

It depends, it wasn't my first reason obviously, AOSP above all, but for who used MIUI before and enjoyed it, one can only wonder

The s7 edge screen is only .2 inches smaller (it's 5.5 inches) and due to having no on screen buttons you wouldn't notice.
That being said, I had the s6 edge. Camera, screen and build quality were much better with the edge. It really is a sexy phone imo.
The lack of updates got to me though, and since the s6 was exynos there were no ROMs. The s7 edge has a snapdragon so development would be much better no doubt. I would get the s7 for sure
