    I pre-ordered this phone a few weeks before it was released. Through careful research this phone was one of my top picks when I decided I was going to upgrade. When I first went to BestBuy I was torn between all the new phones. My first picks were the HTC M9 or the iPhone 6. After looking at the phones in person I was less impressed. Not a lot had changed from their predecessors. Then I took a crack at the S6. The amolded screen was beautiful, very vibrant colors, and HUGE! I could fit my entire iPhone 4 on just the screen. Despite that fact it weighed noticeably less, and was thinner. I was very happy with Samsung's choice to join the solid body family, it was a little over due. While the sleek design is just following in suit with the rest of the smartphones, the curved screen gives it the edge (lol) over the others as far as looks. The Edge screen is honestly what sold me... and the free wireless charger. Though it doesn't have as many functionalities as I wished it had, I love the way it looks. While being almost perfect, it is just that... almost perfect. I've had a few issues with it. They are so trivial though I feel like a whiner just talking about them. Sometimes while holding the phone my fingers will accidentally touch the screen because of the curve, and my phone will slide off of things because it is too smooth. Aside from that and a couple sweaty hand issues with the fingerprint reader, I'm very pleased with my purchase. I would easily recommend this sweet peace of the future to anyone looking to get a new phone. Within the first few days of having it I couldn't stop myself from showing it off to everyone. It must have rubbed off on a few of my friends because a few days later four of them had one. Needless to say they got a bit jelly.

    When I went to upgrade my cell phone, I was checking to see if Best Buy would match the price Target was advertising for the Samsung Galaxy S6, which Target didn't have in the color and size I wanted. While they were looking into it, making sure terms matched and such, they mentioned that the Edge was on sale that week for the $99 I was willing to spend on the S6, so I went for the more expensive phone. The S6 Edge is very nice to look at, with the curved edges, unfortunately there isn't a lot of apps or uses for the edge, or at least to justify what is usually $100 more than the S6. The phone works great, the camera is very nice, I just haven't played with it a lot. Battery life is typical for a smart phone. If you use the phone a lot, you'll see the battery drain, though the phone does have Power saving and Ultra Power saving which can help. I don't use my phone much, so I can get 2 to 3 days without having to recharge. Quick charging is awesome, I can get a fully charged phone in an hour. The Samsung apps included are great, there are even some exclusive and free apps available, the other night I got free ringtones which included several popular songs and even had the Star Wars Darth Vader theme. The S6 Edge is a very nice phone, I don't think it is worth an extra $100 over the S6, but if you can get a good deal or just like the beauty of it, go for it.

    I have had the phone for about a week now and it is a great new version of the Samsung. they have made improvements that make function fast and simple. it has lots of refinements from previous versions. the new battery definitely seems to charge fast and well. I am happy with how long the charge lasts. I have not rin the battery low yet. I hope that its life is as promised, since you cannot change the battery. It is thinner and lighter and not much longer than the s4. I was hoping that they would continue with the weather resistance line, but they did not. the entire phone is encased in Gorilla Glass 4. there is no real way to tell just yet how effective this new glass will be at protecting the phone. I got the best buy warranty. the curved screen does make cases a bit challenging. The other reviews I read are correct in that the phone is a bit slippery. It will slide off sloped surfaces. Again, that would make me recommend the warranty. the screen is beautiful. it puts other screens to shame. it has an amazing sense of depth, clarity, and color. the screen is classy and powerful. You can read it easily in the sunlight. The the special edge functions are cool, but not world altering. the speaker is slightly better than the one on the s4. the speakerphone is not improved. the camera is a big improvement. it comes up immediately and is ready to take a shot fast and in focus. (Something the s4 was especially poor at doing.) Some of that credit has to be the better, faster processer. So, i am thrilled. really like the wider angle lens as well. the fingerprint lock system works very well. overall, I am very pleased with the phone. I would definitely recommend it. Though i have not tried it, I have a feeling that the non-edge version is as good overall. The edge screen features themselves would not make me recommend the edge over the plain version if the price difference is an issue. But, the beauty of the overall edge phone is great. The plain version may be easier to protect without the curve screen, as well.

    VERY smooth and fast phone. Switched back to Samsung from a HTC One M8 and what a difference. Always been dedicated with Samsung owning from the Samsung Galaxy Nexus on up, till the trial period began with the HTC M8. Never will I abandon you again dear Sammy! Major overhaul on the design exception of the deletion of memory card slot and removable battery, which was a major deciding factor. The edge functionality might not be worth the premium but the screen sure does make up for it!!

    I bought this on Black Friday for only $1.00. I truly love this phone. It has some really great features like the side bar. You can assign up to 5 contact a different color and if they call, it lights up their assigned color, which is great if your phone is on mute. I find that this phone is not as slippery as many reviews have said, but either way, every phone that I have had has been in a case. I have dropped this phone many, many times and it has not cracked nor broken. Most phones in a case will be well protected. It is really slim. The speakers are nice, the speed is fantastic and the resolution is great. I fine it easy to navigate thru the phone, it is not difficult to figure out. I would recommend this phone to anyone...especially, if you take advantage of Black Friday sales and other opportunities like that.

    The new Samsung 6Edge is great, easy to use, super sharp screen even in sunlight. Can check all functions easily, great camera, switch between functions fast! Wanted a phone to pay bills, make reservations while on the road a lot, does that and more. Had a very basic smart phone before and am able to use this right away. Love it and I'm not a technology person. Best Buy staff were terrific answering questions and getting it up and running.

    I bought this for my mother, and she's still in her mid 40's. We switched her from an iPhone 5 to this phone because she's been having difficulty reading and typing even with larger fonts. We didn't really go to the store to see what the phone was like, but we kept reading the reviews on best buy and comparing the newer iPhone models. We decided to go with this one because it was on sale. The screen is clearer, the phone is easier to use and you can customize the phone the way you want it. we are still figuring out how to use it fully but so far, it's great. switching from iphone to samsung was a great decision. I don't think we'll be going back to the iphones any time soon.

    Been a long time andriod user but never had a samsung before. Loved my HTC I had before, but when comparing this S6 to the new HTC, I felt this was a much better phone. I ended up getting the 32gb edge model and I have almost nothing bad to say about it, but i'll get to that later. Even though all the edge screen features are cool, I could live without them all but one of them. love the night clock feature on the edge model. It is nice to be able to see what time it is and if there is an alarm set by just turning your head towards the nightstand to see these features. No sitting up or grabbing the phone to be blinded by a bright screen when you are still in bed. The one thing I could criticize it for is the HDR filter. My old HTC took incredible HDR photos in dark and bright situations perfectly, and really highlighted certain features of the image. I take alot of photos at work while i'm outdoors working on a golf course. This phone still takes incredibly clear, crisp photos, but I think it lacks a little in the HDR setting. Almost looks like the bad HDR iphone photos i see people posting. All in all, dont hesitate, you will like it.

    I finally made the switch from a IPhone 5 to the Galaxy s6 edge. I was very hesitant about making this change. I'm very glad I did. The only difficulty was transferring my ITunes music, in the end it was not that big of a problem. I used my laptop to transfer the music with itunes. The s6 edge is a beautiful phone that works incredibly fast. I live in a rural area where cell coverage can be spotty. So far I've had no issues. The camera and photos are leaps and bounds better than the iphone. I dropped my new s6 edge on the concrete driveway of my house with no case! I almost cried. To my surprise, I didn't even have a scratch on the phone even after sliding under my truck. I have since ordered a case! All in all, the s6 edge is a high quality device that I have no complaints about.

    This phone does it all, more than I need. It even has better cell reception than my old S4 and the pictures seem better. I wasn't planning to upgrade but couldn't pass up the BB deal. I do wish it had expandable storage and a removable battery but it hasn't been an issue yet.

    The phone is great. Easy to operate and adjust from my Iphone. Online & phone Best Buy customer service was great HOWEVER, I chose to do pick up item at store. That is where I messed up. I arrived at the Bellingham, Washington store to pick up my item. The very unprofessional, bubble popping, paper airplane throwing phone rep told me she would activate the phone at her desk.I said I was told by the lady on the phone all I needed to do was *228 and I would be good. She said "well that lady was special that's not it." Oh ok. She gets the phone starts her system and says "you can't upgrade the line you already used that upgrade for a purchase of a samsung s6 edge today." I said "yes, that's the phone you have." She said "well, we can use your other line for an upgrade today." I said "I already paid for the phone and went through the whole process online." She said "not really if you're here in the store." TWO HOURS YES, TWO HOURS later I still didn't have an activate phone, she had danced, called others, made personal calls, called Verizon yelled at them and hung up. She handed me my phone and said I would have to go to a Verizon store I wouldn't work for her. Holy heck 2 hours wasted. I went 5 minutes down the road to the Verizon store at the mall. Who dialed *228 to activate my phone in 2 minutes. Transfered all my data from my iPhone to my Samsung and I was out the door In 10 minutes. The only plus to Best Buy is they were still offering 2 yr contracts and better deals on the phones but this mess I would have almost rather paid more for the phone. Worst customer service I've ever recieved.

    I like this phone. Slim, lightweight, great camera. The only thing I'm not overly happy with is the battery life. If I'm playing a game or anything I feel like I have to have it plugged to a charger. Other than that, great phone.

    Do you Edge? You will now. This phone is sleek in its style and sexy in its design. The rounded edge is not only fun, it allows an upside down phone to show the caller through colored light when the sound is off. It also scrolls media and allows the clock/alarm to exist on the edge. Cool and also functional. The one downside seems to be a short battery life. I don't know what I'm used to, but this seems to just about get me through 3/4 of the day--without heavy use. So get in the habit of edging soon! You'll love it.
