Over all love this phone, does way to much. After one month I still have not figured out all it does, and how to do it. I do wish it had more memory, like 64GB in stead of 32GB i have. I did buy a SD stick that you can plug right in to the connection on the phone to use. I like music and have over 8GB of in on the phone, now add a few GB of pics and take some video, and in your spare time you might want to play a game or two, good ones to take advantage of the speed and graffics, well you see there goes all that extra space. Oh and don't forget Google wanting to update and load all it's c%#$ you may or may not want but not shure if you have to have it to make things run. The pic quality is excellent but having a problem attaching pics to texts, i think the HD is to much to send. The phone does so much i want to use all the time for everything but the battery will not let you do that, to bad. I am willing to give up the thinness of the phone and weight for a larger battery that would last a couple of days. Having to carry a second backup battery, and storage just in case, so you can use your phone all day with all its toys does not make a lot of sense. I am a guy and don't carry a purse, very inconvenient. But in order to take advantage of this fantastic portable computer with it's wifi bluetooth headphones smartwatch health monitors picture taking texting, oh yes almost forgot why I carry it with me PHONE CALLS. Yes i do love this phone its fast and in most cases faster then my computer at home. A guess it a blessing that the battery will not last with constant use all day and have to be charged gives you a chance to get physical things done that the phone can't do like take a shower or go for a swim in the pool maybe even take a NAP!! Oh one last thing what is the sense of making a great looking phone when you have to put it in a case to protect it from the environment like getting scratched or dropped its a wast of R&D. After you buy it you cover it up and nobody see it again. Think about it, what a wast of time and money by the manufacturer.

Form - Fits perfectly in my hand plus almost like it molds to my palm.
Looks - My Samsung stands out from any other phone with its sleek form, also makes me look cool.
Function-The Galaxy 6 Edge has the most up to date processors so I am never waiting for my next step to happen. Certain features allow me easier and faster use overall including longer battery life.
I JUST LOVE IT!!!

Samsung did it again!!! I love new s6 edge. Excellent Display crisp and clear. Ease of use. Going easy with TouchWiz is right thing Samsung did. Folder creation, grouping apps is a piece of cake. I love it. 5MP front camera, my initial selfie got over 50 likes in facebook in less than 15 minutes. Slow motion video recording, is the best thing that Samsung has ever done. Pictures are amazing clear and faster to take multiple pictures. I love the focus adjustment after taking the picture. Not to mention virtual picture 3D - oh that is the awesomest feature. I am really enjoying my phone.
GO SAMSUNG, you will never ever think again about other phones....

Beautiful design, looks even better in person than in photos. Feels a little slippery to hold, but that's solved with any good case and it feels great in the hand. Best implementation of fingerprint scan I've seen --- so easy and seamless, I already can't imagine going back to unlocking my phone any other way. I also love the double-tap to quick launch the camera, and the camera itself is better than I expected.
On the downside, it's true that the edge screen adds next to nothing in terms of functionality, unless you count looking pretty. Maybe future app development will take more advantage of this feature. The only real concern so far may be the battery. The battery life is fine but it will impress no one out of the box, and who knows what it will be like over time as it starts to wear (you can't replace it).
All in all, though, it is a beautifully designed phone and I am very happy with it so far.

The Galaxy S6 Edge is the best smartphone in the world, IMO. It has the looks, premium design & materials, light, fast & high-quality camera, awesome Super AMOLED screen, fast everything, and it is easy to use one-handed unlike bigger phablets.
I do wish the battery size was at least 3,000mah but with its 2600mah battery, I'm still managing to get ~5 hours of SOT before I need to plug in.
The wireless charging is very useful and sleek and the Fast Charge option is very nice.
Samsung now just needs to get rid of their distracting logo from the front of the phone to make the design cleaner and tidy.
To show Samsung is truly top-tier, they also need to make an Unlocked flagship phone that can work across all 4 major USA carriers like Google and Apple. Til then, Samsung is not quite there.

I am really happy with my choice of this phone. I get asked all the time what is the big diference. The look on my face is "are you insane". the color clarity is great. The pictures are absolutely awesome, there is nothing as close to having a real camera then this. I love the weight of this phone, it is so light and slender. It can fit in my pocket and I do not feel like it is weighing my pant down. i can actually lose this phone in my purse. I love this phone and will always love Samsung!!!

The S6 edge has all the bells and whistles you've come to expect from Samsung. The new curved edge is functional and surprisingly does not hinder ergonomics. Its performance is superb, very fast and responsive. The hands on experience and service at Best Buy only added to the value.

It's quick, slim, and pretty powerful. I have no problems running games on this device. The camera is out of this world. People always have me take pictures of stuff just to look at things more close up. If you like to play games and have a phone that you can truly capture the detail and beauty in this world, this phone is for you. The only reason that I give it a 4 star instead of 5 is the lack of expandable memory.

The phone has a very beautiful design. The camera is by far one of the best I have use on any phone I have ever had. The Battery life is not the best, but it takes no time to get a good charge out of it. Love the wireless charging. I only wish that it was more to do with the edge feature. Overall, great phone!

I have been looking into this phone for two months, I have to say, It feels great to own it now. I have had the phone for over a month now and i notice no problems with it. It is fast, the camera is amazing, and the UI is very user friendly. I will admit that i only really use the edge for the clock that stays on the screen for up to 12 hours a day. But regardless, I am very impressed.
In the past, I have purchased the GS2, the GS4, and now the GS6 Edge. I still use all three and i love them.

This Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge (Sprint) was a 2015 Xmas gift. It was super easy to set up and add apps to. Very good looking. The color is not really gold. More like brushed nickel. Just a slight gold undertone. We are happy with our Sprint family plan. My daughter gets a corporate discount from her job which makes our plan more affordable. In two years we have never exceeded our data plan. The only issue I have with Sprint is the deductible amount when you try to use the insurance when you lose your phone. To replace a Galaxy 4 with a Galaxy 4 (which is 2yrs old) was $150 deductible. We didn't replace the phone immediately and instead used an older phone until we were eligible for an upgrade.

I like the phone for its easy use and I also like the way I can manage my apps. What I don't like is the location of the on/off button. It is in a location where a person holds the phone so it is constantly getting the screen shut off simply by holding the phone. The on/off button needs to be a little higher up.
I like the weight of this phone. It is very light compared to other phones. Still learning the ins and outs of the phone.

I have had the phone for 2 weeks and I love it! This is an awesome phone. It is fast. The pictures are clear and sharp.It is sleek, and the Edge is just different than any other phone out there. If you are going to get a new phone, go with the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.

Hands down the galaxy line has been my favorite phone but I was really expecting the edge to be more useful as it was for the note edge. The screen is AWESOME and certainly (in my opinion) is one of the best looking phones available but the edge features fell short for me. The ability to check notifications when the screen is off seems marginally useful to my situation and the people edge is almost just an extra step more than a handy add-on. I actually returned it and just got the regular S6. I think in the future they may develop better applications for the edge but currently it just isn't strong enough to justify paying an extra $100. If the price isn't a issue to you then I would highly recommend it as it is an unique feature!

Wow! Love this phone. Tons of improvements and very ease to use. Superb camera, fingerprint tech works very well and the emergency assist (press and release power button 3 times quickly) works great. It allows you to send your GPS location, takes pics with both the front and rear camera AND will record your voice and then send this info to contacts of your choosing.
