Not dragging it on but just showing you as you asked.
Don't think that's what you described but thanks for showing me.
I have a note 4 and I won't be getting the s6 Or edge.
I'm sure others like it but to me the edge just doesn't look right on a phone .
To me the edge feels great in my hand. But I am sure it is not for everyone.I have a note 4 and I won't be getting the s6 Or edge.
But I do miss the extra screen size of the N4 and 6+. But then.....i do like being able to use the S6e one handed. Its no wonder i have so many phones. I just can't decide!
Yep. Its like the perfect portable size, but the extra space on out phablets make them more enjoyable for media consumption when at home.
Don't think I'll ever have just one phone that fulfills everything I want from a device.
Thank god we can have more than 1
Just got back from Best Buy and my first experience with this phone.
I must say it is beautiful! Super lightweight, screen might be the best I've seen and I am just very impressed.
Its a tad small for what I like and I dont like TW vs pure Android on a Nexus device but I am very impressed at the feel in the hand.
Beautiful hardware, worrisome software still.

Actually I noticed that my keyboard loses the additional languages at least once a day and I get random force closed applications, mainly Google or Samsung apps.
I'm just using Samsung keyboard myself and likewise haven't had the issue. But then I only have one language on my phone, are folks having the trouble got multiple language keyboards ?
Speaking of Best Buy, I'm digging my free wireless charger they gave me with my pre-order.
Mostly I throw it on there when walking between rooms or doing quick tasks. The fast charger does the heavy lifting but there is a certain amount of convenience to just throwing the S6 on to the charger and doing top offs while home.
They had a gold one laying on there at the Samsung barge and I have never used or understood wireless charging but man it was cool.
Hoping to get a couple wireless chargers for my N6 here soon for the office and spots at the house for the exact thing you mentioned.
Google maps crashed on me twice. But this was happening on my one plus too occasionally. Luckily my keyboards don't crash. It just lags sometimes instead.
Admittedly not as much though since the factory reset.
Oh...
Haven't had any apps crash but sometimes google play music acts all weird / stops up for a while. Its the only app I've had problem with.No app crashes here either. Been a pretty solid phone so far. Battery lasts all day... Its fast as hell. No issues. Only think I'm on the fence about if the screen size. Not sure it it is too small for me. Kinda got used the screen size on the N4 and 6 +Oh...
So more wifi calling issues, screen flickering bug, and a weaker fingerprint scanner. A cache wipe and factory data reset isn't enough. Tried to get it replaced for the original white color I was supposed to get over black, people didn't have it in stock. Drove 38 miles to get another one, but nope, the manager was too gung-ho about corporate policies. Talk about my luck? Tech support and customer service helped, but this manager didn't. He isn't a good one and I will try to avoid that store in the future.
Yeah I got that update too. You never know if something got a little messed up when it was 'optimising' apps. Its worth a try and at least with lollipop homescreen layout is restored after a backup (unless your using Nova in which case do a backup to google drive storage to recover after your back up and running).
Had it for a couple of days now.
Still slightly on the fence about it as I was going to wait and see what the G4 was like.
But otherwise Samsung have done a brilliant job here. Even TouchWiz is massively improved.
I agree the Edge is more cosmetic, but it's lush so I don't care! But totally see how the normal S6 would be perfectly as good and perhaps even better for most people.
The camera is excellent, the screen is outstanding, the fingerprint scanner has worked about 95% for me.
The ONLY thing I don't like is the glass back. Yes it's lovely but it slides around, I'm worried about fragility and I'd definitely need a case.
Not sure if I will keep it but probably will. I also still have one eye on an Apple Watch in the future.
But the Edge is EASILY the best phone in the history of the universe ever ever ever as an all-round package, no doubt at all. Everyone I've shown it to is massively impressed.
Bravo Samsung.

Impressed that Samsung allows you to resize app grids now..might tempt me to use TW instead of nova now
