Sleek and Powerful
I went in the store to think about purchasing a S5 or S6. Of course, I loved the look of the S6 Edge. When I walked in to Best Buy, the S6 Edge and all of it features were being deomostrated. I was sold when I found out about my 5 favorite contacts being assigned a color and the phone lights up it the call, text or email in there assigned color. I love the edge lighting and choice side to show night clock. I love the imporved funtionality, amazing pictures, video and power of the phone. I love Do Not Disturb function which I did not have on my S3. I like the new fast charger that goes with phone. I love my S6 Edge.

Great Hardware, but TouchWiz ruins the User Exp.
My phone use background: Current Phones: iPhone 6+ (64GB) & Samsung S6 Edge (32GB) Apple: All models from iPhone to iPhone 6+ Android: Samsung Nexus 3, Sony Xperia Z, Samsung Note 3, LG G3, HTC One M6, One Plus One, Samsung S6 Edge I would consider myself primarily an iPhone user. I keep wanting Android to get better. Over the years it has. I have issues with the lack of uniformity in user experience on core apps that manufactures like to dress up with their own user interfaces. HTC's user interface is probably one of the better ones for Android, but is starting to feel old. The fact is the stock android experience is great and I find the manufacture skins unnecessary. Thus the reason the S6 only gets 4 stars. I dislike TouchWiz! It's like Samsung hired a 5th grader to design the user interfaces. However with the S6 TouchWiz has been toned down, but not enough. I would say they expanded their budget and hired a 10th grader to design the interface. The theme engine has potential, but the themes in there are lacking and suited for the Japanese Anime sub culture. That said the stock them is ok and much better than the past couple years. This has been the only TouchWiz version that has not completely turned me away from the phone, but it still has it's issues. Overall the user experience is fast and fluid. Syncing with a Mac is not straight forward. The S6 does not support the Samsung Kies app. Instead they want you to transfer data from an iPhone or other Android device with their new Smart Switch app. The Smart switch app is useless and allows no way for you to manage your device music, pictures and videos from your Mac. I had to get the Android File Transfer app from google in order for me to take pictures and videos off the device and onto my mac. If you prefer to use cloud sync methods then you will be fine, but I like to organize my own files. Other software issues I've encountered. I use Google Music on my iPhone and S6. When I plug the phone into the USB outlet on my BMW it will only see music in the actual music app. You can not play music from Google Music via USB, it can only be done via Bluetooth, which has a slightly diminished sound quality verse the USB. The iPhone works both ways with google music and displays album art. Battery Life: Battery life is pretty decent. The rapid charger is nice and gets you the needed juice in a short amount of time. I also have the Samsung wireless charging station and it is nice to be able to just throw the phone on there. The battery will get you through the day easily with mild use. Heavy users will need to charge at least once. That said I'm not totally disappointed with the battery. Camera: The iPhone 6+ camera is awesome, the S6 camera is surprising just as good if not slightly better. It actually shocks me to say this. The color, focus and mechanics is spot on and is just as good as the iPhone 6+. Fingerprint Reader: It works well most of the time. The iPhone 6+ fingerprint reader is slightly better, but not much. At this moment I have not found many apps for samsung that takes advantage of the reader in the same way apps for iPhone intergrate into 3rd party apps. Hardware: The phone looks great and the build quality is great. It's on par with an iPhone, finally If you need external storage or removable battery this phone is not for you. Screen: It's awesome! with a QHD screen you can't go wrong. Get the curve. It looks great and gives the apps a new dimension, also swiping is easier. Do yourself a favor and protect the screen. In a drop I can see it taking a good hit. I purchased the Incipio case with a Zagg screen protector along with the 2 year warranty. This will not be a cheap phone to replace. Overall the best android experience I've used in the past 2 years. If you like Android go for it. iPhone users- it's a good option, but you may find yourself missing the iPhone uniformed user experience that is still lacking on Samsung TouchWiz.
