The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
I looked back three pages and didn't see a thread devoted to this. I picked up a blue one this week, replacing a Nexus 5. I briefly had a Galaxy S3 and preferred the iPhone 5, so this is my first trip back.
Can I just say, wow. First of all, this is the most beautiful piece of tech I've ever seen. It's all metal and glass and curves, and whether it's on or off, I'm compelled to stare at it. The screen itself is bananas. I've never had much exposure to Super AMOLED screens, but I haven't been this fixated on the color green since Return of the Jedi.
The battery isn't great. Whatever. The Nexus battery was awful too. I have a car charger. It's a small price to pay.
I opted out of a case with it as well. I didnt see the point of shelling out for the hot one and then forcing it cover up. And don't put screen protectors on your phones anymore, people. You're being had. Don't put your phone in the same pocket as your keys and change, and things will be fine. This is Gorilla Glass 4. FOUR. The apes know.
The Samsung keyboard is kinda irritating. I just want a 3rd party keyboard that doesn't record my credit card details. Is that asking for the moon to be made of cheese?
Camera's great too. Loads up super fast, takes nice quality shots, and seems reasonably versatile.
The finger print sensor is a little inconsistent but I think it just take getting used to. I do enjoy not swiping all over my screen when I want to wake it up.
The edge part of the screen allegedly does something with contacts or the time or whatever. And Boobs also produce milk.
In my opinion, it's worth the extra hundred without question. The S6 is just another Galaxy. The Edge is from the future.
