re-ignited my interest in smart phones

This phone has re-ignited my interest in smart phones! Not only has it proven itself where my past phones failed but there are so many advanced features that I have yet to explore and discover. My favorite aspect of the phone is the camera using the PRO settings and the "vivid" palette. I have included a picture I took this afternoon. The vivid colors and crystal clear images still amazes me and I have stopped using my larger DSLR as a result. The only improvement I would recommend is longer battery life. By the end of a normal day I am running on empty.

Amazingly Innovative Display!

I purchased this Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge for it's display alone, and I was not disappointed. The subtle curves from edge to edge provide an elegant 3-D effect to the display, and the 577 ppi Super Amoled display is a thing of true beauty. Samsung did an amazing job on the color accuracy and saturation found in the S6 Edge's Quad HD display.
Apart from the display, this phone absolutely flies through any task I throw at it due to Samsung's own 64-bit Exynos 7 Octa 7420 processor. The custom skins do, however, slow the phone down a bit, but not enough to keep me from using them.
Both the 16 MP rear and 5 MP front-facing cameras take incredible photos and video. I have not found a smartphone camera setup that can beat it.
The wireless and fast charging capabilities are also a welcome addition since the battery is not removable and has only an average battery life.
There are also many great features found in the more simplistic version of Touchwiz that make using this phone a great experience.
I would highly recommend this phone to anyone willing to spend the extra money for it!

Sprint Version Is Great

I'll preface my following review by stating that I'm on a plan from Sprint, and therefore my S6 Edge came with Sprint's software and apps.
Purchased this on release day and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The phone is very fast, I can switch between apps quickly and with ease. The battery lasts about a day and a half before I need to recharge, which is great. The camera takes pretty good pictures, but I haven't really played with it much yet. The screen is beautiful, I don't think I've ever seen a better screen on anything before.
My few gripes with it are as follows. The built-in speaker is not very loud. I may or may not be getting as good of a signal as my S4 did. It's hard to judge without seeing some actual numbers for signal strength, but I think I may be getting about a bar less on 4G. The phone straight out of the box is probably the slipperiest thing I've ever seen, a case is required just so it doesn't fall off the couch, my lap, the ottoman, etc.
Like I said earlier, I'm thoroughly enjoying this phone and look forward to seeing what new apps come out to take advantage of the curved screen.

I love love love my Edge...however just today it has been giving me a little problem with freezing and I have had to do a hard shut down twice to get it unstuck. Hopefully this issue will resolve itself soon. It also tends to get extremely hot every now and then. Apart from those two technical issues I love it. It's a beautiful design, the camera is phenomenal, it's intuitive and I love that I can take a photo and share it while I'm using the phone! All in all a great phone - I"m hoping my glitches are just pertinent to this unit and if I have to change it out I won't have the same experience.

I was in sheer dire straights with the lackadaisical operational condition of my previous Samsung Galaxy S4 phone with Sprint that I couldn't wait much longer to do my upgrade on release day for this bad boy. Samsung copied many functional forms and features of the iPhone but managed to still keep it Android User friendly. Overall, I'm happier here with the bells and whistles offered here with both the edge displays in place and it gradually got better and more feature filled with the course of time. The Wireless Charger being free with it as of release day was just an icing on the cake. Good buy overall!!

I waited for more than a year for this phone. Camera is great, easy transition from my old S-3. I hope I won't miss battery access and memory card

Aesthetically, the phone is really sleek and stylish. The security features can't be beat (e.g. fingerprint lock). It has an excellent display and processing speed is very fast. My favorite features so far are Samsung pay, the heart rate monitor and the edge short cut options. My only complaint is the loss of the expandable memory. Hopefully Samsung will bring that back!

Best phone for 2015

I had previously come from a Nexus 5 which was a great phone in itself. I thought I would miss using stock Android and the ability to flash custom roms easily. However, this phone has enough new features and TouchWiz is unobtrusive enough that I don't miss my Nexus 5 at all. The phone is fast, has a great screen, the best camera of all smartphones, and once your have fingerprint unlock on a phone you can't go back. Add in wireless charging (Qi and PMA) and an IR blaster and what more could you want. Also, you can install the material design theme from the samsung store and if you use a custom launcher like Nova, it will keep the some elements of the dark theme and get rid of alot of the bright touchwiz colors. If you are on the fence about leaving stock android don't be.

My wife was up for a new phone, at least SHE was ready for one. We went and showed her all of the new phones. She was upgrading from a much larger phone and liked the feel, looks and overall design of this phone. She likes the speed of the device and loves how beautiful the screen is. She takes several pictures with it and they turn out great as well. Her only complaint is her carrier which has little to do with the product itself. It's a great device., but with limited accessories.

The S6 Edge's design is good if you are looking for an altered look. It's lightweight and the camera is impressive. It is also packed with a lot of awesome features. In addition, there is a fingerprint lock/unlock option.

I had the old Evo and was time to upgrade (ran out of space). I bought the Samsung - Galaxy S6 edge with 64GB Memory and am loving it! Since I was used to an older phone this new one seems to be lighting fast to me. I like the edge future especially the night clock. I can see what time it is without have to turn on my phone. The phone has so many great things to list. Check out the demo video, it will show you all the cool things that this phone can do. I recommend as a strong buy!

I purchased this on pre-order and have been using it for about week now. So far, the edge is cool, but I don't see a huge advantage for the price, over the S6. Aside from the beautiful curves screens, the speed and flow of the phone is top notch. I am extremely happy with this purchase. I continue to be impressed with Samsung.

A very upscale device and "Happy so far..."

Still learning to live with the new features.
My last phone was the original Galaxy S Epic 4G, so, my basis of comparison is not perfect, it skips several generations of product. Obviously this phone is a huge improvement. I did expect it to be better, but didn't expect the difference to be as noticeable. A sophisticated package with powerhouse performance.
The overall profile of the phone is fairly large, but very slim. It has a solid feel.
Great display, but the edge features take some getting used to. Choose your case carefully, they are not all equal.
Response speed seems instantaneous. I would say that the eight core CPU and the DDR4 memory are worth the extra money. My paid apps work much better. I use Touchdown for email. The license transferred painlessly. On this platform I can watch video on Plex. (The old phone could only play music, not enough CPU to handle video).
In general voice quality is good. I also like the WiFi calling feature, that is a bonus. Battery life seems good. T
he new Android handles network switching much better, I have fewer dropped calls. Those that do drop are not the phone's fault. The WiFi and Bluetooth are much more refined in this version.
Another huge bonus is the ability to uninstall and/or disable the bloatware that comes preinstalled on the phone.
Happy so far? Actually, Very Happy, so far...
