The Edge models were a mistake. Samsung makes great products, but the Edge is just a failed gimmick. The idea was to enable viewing notifications from the side of your phone, but that was an unnecessary feature, and really only created several functionality problems. Looks like most reviewers didn't notice this, but the edges on the phone screen actually distort both sides of the screen, actually causing difficulty viewing the whole screen at any angle. The rounded screen edges cause several problems. It causes an impossible glare on both sides of the phone anytime there is a light source to reflect it. This is a problem everywhere; outside and inside. And it doesn't matter how you turn your phone, the glare remains along the edges, and is a big distraction. On regular flat screen phones, you can get rid of glare by turning your phone. This is not possible with the Edge. Also, the screen is distorted on the sides where the "edge" is, because the picture "rolls" around the sides of the edge like old fashioned TV's; but much worse. It's very distracting to view pictures, watch video, and play games. Also, the rounded edges make the phone vulnerable to unintentional "touches" or activation of features because it's difficult to hold the phone without touching the edges. One final problem caused by the edges of the phone is that cases made for it have to keep the edges exposed in order to fit the phone and view the screen. This makes the screen ultra-vulnerable to scratches and breaks. Most cases don't even come past the plane of the front of the screen! Even the bulkier ones. For comparison, I've owned a Galaxy S5 for 2 years without scratching it. I work in construction, and have dropped my S5 probably hundreds of times. Had an Otter Box case on it, but removed the screen protector to prevent dust from getting between it and my screen. Somehow the S5 screen is still perfect! I just bought the S6 Edge Plus, and the exposed edge of it got scratched the first few days with a case on it. Hopefully, Samsung well concede that the edge was a mistake, and they will discontinue it. I recommend the regular S6, S7, or Note models. You will be much happier with any traditional, flat-screened phone.
