Unless this is actually affecting swipe gestures I don't see an issue. This could be just for unintentional touches. Apple does something similar with the ipad I think.
Got a tip for us?

Quite surprised that any website, especially cult of Android, would post such trash. If they did just the slightest bit of research they would have discovered all Samsung phones have this. It's the same on my Note 4. Try it yourself: *#0*#
Tell you what. I'm really impressed with the camera on this thing. Was all set to go to next Moto X but I really like the S6 Edge and the camera might swing it for me.
Mega impressed.
Mega impressed.
Threres no hardware problem.. Its like that on the s4 and s5. Read the comments on the YouTube link u posted.
Hasn't the Moto X's camera been a weak point? Or perhaps you meant this year's Moto X.
That camera is a real selling point of the S6 for me as well. I went from my iPhone 6 to the Oneplus, and while I love it, the camera is certainly a step back compared to the iPhone. Would love to return to a reliable/fast camera again but with Android.
I've been able to take great photos on the 2014 moto x to be honest. I think the camera is grand - my first hand experience and the photographic results I've taken with it are complete opposite to what many reviews said about it. I have some photos untouched in the Motorola X 2014 thread.
The moto x 2014 can produce good shots but you have to be careful and choose well. It's not great in-doors or in low light. It's also a little slow so grabbing that random shot can be tricky.
Outside in good light it's more than acceptable. I gave my trusty Canon 7D to my son so it's the only camera i have left but find it's (the moto X) sometimes hit or miss.
I do think that the S6 seems to be more than a step ahead of it (and others). Will be interesting to see more detailed reviews in the coming weeks.

When I get the S6 edge (inevitability) I'll do a comparison of it and the 6+ / Note 4 / Moto X 2014

Battery can be removed......but doesn't look that easy.
Found this at XDA. The battery can be removed on the S6 but it doesn't look so easy. Might void your warranty too! Here is the user manual. The instructions are on page 138.

meh, what's the point, it's designed to not be accessible to the user.

people will always say that the AMLOED screens are oversaturated, but at least in the case of the Note 4, they're actually more accurate than many LCDs.

Yea, and it really isn't a fault of the screen type itself. Rather the software and calibration. For instance my old Note 2 would let you choose between multiple saturation level presets. I could put it on cinema and it looked much more dull yet more accurate.
Its hard to say since these are new panels, but traditionally they are dull whites, increased battery consumption on white colors, burn-in, and not as bright. Also the panels degrade over time.
Advantages are much deeper blacks, greater color range, less battery consumption on dark images, and thinner.
I would say they fixed the white issue with the Note 4. Hopefully it's the same on the S6.
Erica Griffin has posted a video regarding the 6 & 6 edge regarding screen and usability.

The whites aren't bad, but when looking at my note 4 they aren't as bright as my iPhone 6 plus or my One M8, both use LCD.
Yep that's my experience comparing my Note 4 to my 6+
Doesn't seem as bright and whites on the 6+ are a lot whiter. The whites on the Note 4 tend to be yellower - not noticeable in isolation, but compared side by side it is noticeable.
Of course the reverse is also true in that comparing blacks the Note 4 looks real black whereas 6+ dark grey.
After all the debate between the two a while ago, I can honestly say that for me they are much of a muchness for me overall.
True, but at least it's better than the moto X which has no options at all and could really benefit from something to adjust it's colour & saturation. As much as I like the Moto X it's screen calibration and over saturation annoy me.
My Note 4 is quite good. I do like the color balance of Samsung displays just a little better than my iPhone 6 Plus. Not much, just enough to satisfy my personal preferences. We're at a point with top of the line smartphones currently where the differences are rather minimal. They're all quite good, just some happen to be a bit better.
Then if we factor in the pros and cons of each platform, often the differences in displays aren't what makes or breaks our choice. I do believe that personal preferences are the deciding factor now more than ever. Frankly I've removed that hurdle by using both Android and iOS platforms concurrently. It's fun, educational and never boring.
I think the color shifting on the edges would be very distracting. Also I think the distortion would be annoying. It looks strange to me seeing the edges curve in the notification bar, and videos and pictures curving would be distracting. After seeing that video I will definately go with the S6 and not the S6 Edge.
Here's another camera test, this time between the GS6, iPhone 6, and One M9. The iPhone and GS6 go back and forth on who took the best shot, while the M9 came in third every single time. Feel bad for HTC, I really hope they can sort out the camera with an update.
