[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Motorpsycho:
If you don't like to call it a downgrade then call it a sidegrade if you like and of cause the SOC, Fast RAM, Software improvements for the SPEN and so on are on the plus side. The problems you name for a SD card would apply to OTG storage just the same, besides you have to have this externally plugged in tearing at the usb port. For now the majority of S6 users seem not to be very impressed by battery time. Maybe software improvements can make that better and the hardware has the potential to deliver equal running times, but for S6 users this promise is not yet fullfilled.

The plastic back of Samsung phone always were a pro argument for me and i did never understand why people cried for metal or glass bodies. A plastic back is light weight, very cheap replaceable. Never had a problem with that while other phones with metal bodies had poor connection strength.

Actually i bought the Note 4 yesterday from my carrier for 19,95€ with contract prolongation while a S6 (without edge) with 128GB would have cost me more than 340€ and S6edge+ will probably be even more expensive while having only 64GB and the Note not be available for Europa at all (at least for now). Paying 300-400€ more for a phone that has some technical advantages and a lot of disadvantages in usability and the promise that regarding battery time it might come close to the note 4 and some of the insufficiencies can be compensated, somehow. Sorry, I don't see this for me.

I think their new commercial slogan will be "Samsung, making decisions easy!".

Noticed that the icons are different to the standard s6 edge - like the way they look! Is there any way of getting them on my s6 edge?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apurva.giri:
About the OTG, I do agree that it'll be slow, but it won't be the part of the phone itself, so you cant move app data or install things in OTG. Its kind of like using a 5400 RPM external HDD in a laptop with inbuilt SSD. And yes, even I have seen poor reviews of battery life for S6, however, I've placed my money on the fact that since both S6 & edge+/N5 have exactly same configuration, battery life would increase marginally (if not a lot) by 400 mAh.

I have always loved the plastic back cover too. I dropped my Note 2 like 1000 times during its lifetime (without case) and it nothing ever happened to it until last time when I dropped it from a considerable height on concrete and the screen got a big crack (phone worked perfectly though).

I agree, Note 4 is an amazing phone for that price, however, I just gambled my money on the latest device. Lets see how that works out.. :) We both can probably talk about it after a month or two here!!

My S6 Edge+ has already shipped from Sprint, should arrive Tuesday. Gold 64 gig:D:D
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Motorpsycho:
Why not? OTG drive is just a block device like a SD-Card as well. If you can't install on OTG drive it is only because software prohibts it and that could be done on for SD Cards as well. Maybe you have to do some tricks to install apps on OTG but it is not impossible.

And that is better than having an internal 5400 RPM HDD for data (that can easily be removed or exchanged) and a inbuilt SSD for the system?

The security argument is not valid neither. Every security problem regarding Samsung pay or other that you might get from having a SD Card, you will have from having a OTG drive as well. I don't see there any difference. If Samung had that in mind when taking SD Card support away they would have to take OTG as well.

My Verizon S6+ just shipped and is supposed to arrive Monday.. Of course I'll be at work and the Fedex option to schedule a different time is greyed out.. Wasn't expecting it this soon..
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apurva.giri:
I bought it from BestBuy (selected the self pickup [21st] since delivery was showing on 28th) because they were offering a wireless charger even though that is old generation. Samsung just released a Wireless Fast Charger and I'm pretty sure I'm not getting that one for free! But hey, something is better than nothing.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uofajac:
I'm torn on which to buy. I've been going back and forth since the announcement.

Right now, I'm leaning towards the gold s6 edge+. I've been a note user since 3 and I hardly ever use my s pen. I love the fact that it's there if I need it though.

I'm really looking forward to Samsung Pay. All these years, I've had to root my devices to get the perfect user experience on Android. I used to love doing this and even became somewhat of a flashaholic. Over the last year or so, it had become more of a chore to do it.

I've even contemplated making the switch to iPhone 6 because of it. The average user just wants a beautiful phone that works right out of the box. They also want it to make their lives easier. Samsung Pay is going to be major in this regard. Being able to leave your CC's and membership cards at home will be HUGE for me. If that means I can't root my phone, then so be it.

I know this post irks a lot of the xda community, but thank God Android gives us choices. Samsung is doing what it has to do to compete with Apple. I get it. It's just business.

As I'm writing this, I'm watching the PGA Championship on TNT presented by guess who? Samsung. Samsung is going to be just fine if the flashing nerd community doesn't buy their new phones.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apurva.giri:
It was a hard decision indeed. However, for you its easy since you do not use the SPen. Just get whichever looks better since specs are exactly same. In my case, I used to use the SPen too. This time, I just wanted to try something different, so booked Edge+.:cyclops::cyclops:

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechBSwift:
Just a warning from a current s6 edge user, don't buy the s6 edge plus... Get the note 5, accessories for the edge phones are far a few. The chance of you finding a working tempered glass screen protector are far and few... Also battery cases, and cases in general are very few. Also the edges make it hard to see in some situations due to the curve

Ordered ATT Edge Plus

Just ordered ATT Edge Plus.. :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apurva.giri:
If you do not use SPen, go ahead with the Edge+. Early reports depict that the battery life of Edge+ is actually marginally better than Note 5. And why to compromise on the looks when you can get it. If you have doubt over dropping, try checking out some drop tests for Galaxy S6 Edge. Its pretty solid.

You won't find tempered glass protector even for Note 5 since it has 2.5D display. The ones you get will not cover from edge to edge. Although, I'm not sure about the battery cases since I prefer to keep it looking great, I do not think the accessory part should be the key factor to decide a flagship when the differences are marginal.

And above all, curve looks awsome (I was a note user and loved it too, time for some experimentation) :cyclops:.

My Verizon 64 gig Edge + just arrived.. Of course I raced my ass through work and got home to try to beat the Fedex guy since it said it needed a signature.. and when he got here, he left it at the door and drove away.. Sigh..
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahmmy:
this has been a trademark of Samsung - happened to me a few years back and i left samsung

now it seems that samsung got too cocky with the Note series - thinking that the name alone will sell the phone, regardless of them leaving out the SD card and a larger battery, guess what sammy you are about to get a rude awaking.

there is far too much competition these days from guys like huawei etc who are giving the people what they want...... the decision for you to save yourself 0.5mm by adding a smaller battery is about to bite you.

Not sure of Note 5 since I didn't get mine. However, following is the xtreme guard protector on Note 4 :-

Tempered glass isn't curved, however, the edges of Note 4/5 are little curved (2.5D) so the screen guard can't bend along with the screen always leaving some gap at edges. And getting one for Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, I don't think that exists yet. Let me know if you find one.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechBSwift:
I see what you are saying about your note 4, unfortunately whoever sold you that screen protector was extremely a terrible person. I had an xtreme glass protector for my note 4 and it covered much more area than that.

As for the edge+ screen protector good luck. I have one on my s6 edge and it took 3 before I found one that would actually stick. The glue on those protectors are not a fan of that glue. Don't get me wrong I still think the s6 edge and edge+ are the best looking phones on the market by far!!!!

This decision was tough for me. Having used Note 2, Note 3 and Note 4, the logical conclusion would be for me to get the Note 5. But, that Edge + is just too good looking for me to pass up. For all I know I will hate it and exchange it for the Note 5 within the first 14 days...

If it makes any better, S6 Edge+ battery life is marginally better than Note 5 as per the early Battery benchmark reports... :)

Did anybody notice that there is a different feeling with the screen with Edge+ ?

I've recently picked one of these up and I have to say it's a great tablet for the price. However, I found that there's not a lot of support for this tablet as of yet. After rooting and customizing it, I'd accidentally screwed up the install and am now trying to find a way to flash it back to stock.

Is there anyway to fix this since there doesn't seem to be any stock files or custom ROMs available? I downloaded the firmware off of the official site, but have unsuccessfully flashed it using their tool.
