If you want to sell it, I would buy it.

S6 edge plus in silver or gold is one the most beautiful devices ever.Running nougat now in my silver S6 edge+--custom rom -Noble Nougat ,all fine ,great disply ,stable rom, battery for my needs 2 full days in auto brightness and maybe more..Why should i get something else?

No regrets here.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Puky2NS:
I had S5 and it was perfect. Size, battery life, handling, speed ...

S6 Edge plus only have 2 defects: no SD card and it's not waterproof.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] ljesh:
How are you people getting 1+ days on battery and 5+ hours of SOT?

My average is 12 hours on battery of which 3 hours are SOT. This is the only thing I hate on the Edge+. I used to get the same amount of battery/SOT on my Nexus 5 too, although the N5 battery is 2300 mAh and used for 2 years.

1.New AOJ5

2.Definitely not 3g/lte all the time, more wifi.

3.Custom kernel so over night you will lose about 3% only.

4.Deleting/freezing unnecessary stuff.

Not saying that you cannot get 5h SOT on stock but these steps make it hell lot easier.

About battery, i really disagree..

I charged my phone till 100% last evening. I now have 11 hours and 49 minutes on battery, and 1 hour and 27 minutes with screen on time. I have 85% battery left..

About the edges, i kinda agree. Sometimes it can be hard to click the edges correctly. But going back to iPhone 6? Hell no!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] ljesh:
1. Got it, nothing special.

2. I am at work for ~10 hours a day and all of that time I am connected (although not using the device) wifi. Will disabling completely the wifi help a lot? After work, I am connected to 2G just so I receive emails and IM. 3G/LTE coverage sucks where I live so I keep my device on 2G only.

3. This is something I dont have but as a positive side you mention I will lose 3% over night.... Over night my device charges so that doesn't help me. Will this help during general usage? Also, what kernel?

4. This is a broad thought... What is unecessary to you may be necessary to me and vice versa. Any advice what stuff I should defenitely delete/freeze?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] mrteyssere:
There might be something wrong with your phone.. I`m at 84% now. 1 hour 50 mins SOT and 12 hours 14 min on battery.. Try disabling some apps that might drain your battery
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] ljesh:
And I am at 83% after 4h 15m on battery and 28m SOT :/
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] pokosik:
Really great phone. Had many of them this and last year. So far s6 edge plus is one of the best. Main thing i hate is unlock freezing but this is software related so i hope we will get update soon.

Camera is great, battery is very good, screen is superb, design is super nice and unusual. So over all i am happy.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] mrteyssere:

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] pokosik:
Really strange, i am on 81% after 1d 0h 3m and have 57m SOT... wifi on for about 12h, 3 gmail accounts and 2 work mails. Some browsing and texting.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] SetiroN:
Yes.

The hardware is good.

The software is awful.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] makomek:
Huge regret after 1 week using the phone.

The new samsung s7 edge+ will come out in Jan/2016 and this just came out like no more than 2 months?. Samsung are retard, phone is losing value fast.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] xnknown:
lol thats doubtful at best where did you see that
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] makomek:
http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonk...tm_campaign=yahootix&partner=yahootix&ref=yfp

They're selling the phone at a premium price then within 6 month they release the next galaxy.

Samsung are brutal when they falling behind.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] r3ix:
Not True.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] xnknown:
i find it doubtful at best but good thing at least theres somewhat of a possibility ill hold off on buying a phone until then
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] ljesh:
As far as speculations go, it should be announced Jan/2016 but will not go on sale until April 2016. That makes it 8 months after S6 Edge+ so its not that bad. So I dont have a regret in a sense that S6 Edge+ got on sale on Aug-2015 and S7 Edge+ will go on sale on Apr-2016. My only complaint is that stock it seems that you cannot get more then 3h SOT and 12h on battery. Everyone with amazing battery time on Edge+ seems to get it by installing custom ROM/kernel.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] apurva.giri:
Could be your network! During week days when I goto office, I get SOT of 3.5 hrs max (LTE always ON) and my desk has very weak AT&T signals. At home in weekends, I get more than 4.5 hrs SOT and 28 hrs+ standby on wifi or LTE and I get full signal at home. Network carrier has a very big part in battery life. The weaker the signal, the more power is used by the phone to keep up to the network!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] knite75:
This phone depreciated in value so fast a month after release.

I paid full retail price on release.

Feel I got burn so bad.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] apurva.giri:
That's actually nothing new with any Samsung Flagships since original Galaxy S.. I bought it at $914 and I was aware of it! :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] scrott901:
I regret but only because im a note fan. However being in the uk i didnt have much choice :crying: damn you samsung, europe wants the note 5!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Taskman:
So you were only thinking of keeping it till the next one anyway which even if "normal" release would be like april or may?

Your phone doesn't get worse because a new one is released and if they do release the one as said with a screen that is flexible it will have problems like every new product in a complete new line.

I tend to keep my phone for at least 1 year and it will still be equally good next summer as it is now.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] kaushgo:
No regrets at all!

True - the battery life could be a bit better (SOT, not stand by). But the other aspects more than make up for it - quick charge, class leading camera, the amazing feeling in hand and that screen!

Not worried about early s7 release either - will see when it comes along. But for now, I'm just enjoying this gem of a phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] deepphrozen:
I was a huge Samsung Fan and had a S6 Edge device with defect GPS chip but had lost my warranty because it was rooted so there was nothing i could do. Now i bought the S6 Edge + and had a lot of trouble with FRP, had OEM Unlock not activated and the google Account avoided my phone to boot into recovery mode because it is a custom binary which needs to be blocked, the battery life is bad, though i use greenPower premium i have to charge my phone twice a day. Anyways, the S6 Edge + is a beautiful device, the fingerprint does work like a charm with me and the camera is awesome, but i really regret to not have bought an IPHONE 6S+ instead. The way Samsung treats his customers is a sh** and had to keep my S6 Edge with not working GPS just because the warranty was void because of rooting the phone, as if it had anything to do with the GPS chip. Now after i spent 800 Euro for a S6 Edge+ they want to launch the S7 in a few month? This was for sure the last Samsung device i bought, not only on the mobile sector but i will also replace all my other Samsung devices as soon as they fail, TV Laptop, Toaster, Fridge, Dishwasher etc.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] mrteyssere:
How can people say the battery life is bad.. honestly, what are you doing? Before i out my phone in the charger today, i had over 10 hours of SOT.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] ljesh:
It seems you are rooted so it doesn't really count. Most of us use it stock, and stock S6 Edge+ seems to have problems with battery life.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] kolembo:
Actually, I'm not having problems with battery. I have a fluctuating screen in daylight.

Otherwise I'm loving the phone. Beautiful thing. Can't put it down. Go to bed with it.

P.s. Ha. Had auto brightness on.....
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] El Bully:
When mine was stock, battery was just as good as rooted. Easily 6 hours SOT. Pictures are somewhere in batterytopic
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] samiamanaddict:
I think that all of that pales in comparison to the issue I have with this phone... NO ROOT! Thanks to the tyrants at at&t and Verizon(and sometimes I feel like I should include samsung in there), owners of these variants will probably never obtain root status and a custom recovery is pretty much out of the question. If this continues to be the case I vow to not make impulsive decisions when buying my next phone and ONLY purchasing one after I do my due diligence and make sure I can have my precious root and custom recovery. End rant.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Wiz:
Since the last update, the unlock freezing has not occurred anymore :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] r3ix:
Me too
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] knite75:
Y'all with 4.5+ hrs SOT. I hate you.

Battery Life

I have tried nearly all Samsung phones since S3 including the Note series. This is far the best phone I have ever used. Best design, brilliant screen, awesome camera and its fast. Faster then every other phone. For those who complain from battery life try these:

Buy Package disabler from Play Store and deactivate bloatware

Try to use black wallpapers in the background

Get rid of Facebook if its not vital. Try using it from web browser. Facebook drains battery.

Turn off location services. Whenever you open the camera app it will warn you that its off so you can reenable it. Location services drains your battery.

Use your apps as auto optimised from smart manager

You can also use accounts sync in manuel mode.

After these you should get longer battery life. Today I used it for 17h with 4 hours screen time and still have 27% more juice.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Ryland Johnson:
'The best' is so subjective.

My last Samsung, apart from the S6 and now the Edge plus, was the Note 3. The Note three ended my purchase days with the Samsung brand. I was so peeved at paying 700.00€ for their flag ship mobile and being sold plastic leather and plastic chrome, It just felt like all other Samsung phones costing 40.00€ and Samsung thought its customers couldn't tell the difference between leather, chrome, metal and plastic. To be frank it was insulting.

I purchased the Sony Xperia Z and the quality was chalk and cheese. Materials and details to construction knocked samsung out of the park. I also bought the Xperia Ultra also the Z2 then went iPhone 6.

This year Samsung amazed me with the introduction of the Galaxy S6 range. Even I, as a total Samsung sceptic, had to acknowledge the design and specification.

The Edge plus is built like a Swiss watch has the specifications of a modern day rocket and is made with quality materials and attention to detail that beggars belief.

It is ALWAYS possible to find something we dislike with our technology however taking most parameters into account this mobile is truly amazing and I for one acknowledge the S6 range as among a very tiny group of flag ship mobile brands to have produced an industry leading product.

In all brands with all models there will be the occasional lemon that is inevitable and to those who have purchased a faulty Edge Plus it is very frustrating. Non the less they are the exception to the rule.

The Galaxy S6 edge plus and its sibling S6 range are superb examples of micro engineering and cutting edge technology. I for one appreciate it.

Ryland
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] kolembo:
There will always be something wrong with phones. I'm my opinion, everyone needs to start looking at battery technology NOW.

That said, the edge plus is an extremely good phone. It's beautiful to hold and look at, its very smooth, and VERY quick and the battery will last a full day, give or take a few hours, depending on how crazy you use it.

Try it against any other phone - Note 5 included - and you begin to see after a while, just how far ahead the whole package is.

The only thing with the new Samsung's is 32gb is a joke, I don't care how vigorously you argue 'cloud storage' it only takes a week to figure that out, and the user experience is tarnished by it.

If you bought this phone and regret it, you'll regret any other phone you buy.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Dr.Paul:
Hell no.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Maknora:
if you take it piece by piece, there is nothing this phone loses to. With the newest update for battery optimization, it is better than before. I have used this phone two days extensively and this afternoon, I still have 34% left. Wow.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] ljesh:
Are you rooted? What is your SOT on two days on battery when you had 34% left?

I am asking because on stock this phone as far as I have seen on this forums, lasts for 3-4 hours SOT on 15-16 hours on battery, unless you root and you install custom rom/kernel but that is a completely different subject.

I am interested: is there anyone on this forums whose battery lasts 15+ hours, gets 4+ hours of SOT and has 34% battery remaining on above mentioned conditions?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] johnallen3421:
I had Samsung Galaxy S5 and decided to upgrade it to Edge model. That was my bad decision...Galaxy S6 Edge is not resistant to water and dust so you should handle with great care. The design is not new and it looks exactly like Apple iPhone6. Limited number of Edge apps. And it's very expensive! Better use your old Galaxy
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Ryland Johnson:
Most odd post.

Forgive my first confrontational post ever made here. You appear to own something other than the galaxy S6 Edge plus as it in no way resembles any other phone especially the Iphone that I also happen to own. "The design is not new"... No comment.

Your post appears to me to be trolling. Forgive me if I am incorrect. :rolleyes:

Sincerely,

Ryland

Hi Ijesh. I don't think any owner of an 'uber mobile' would claim good (what ever that means in real terms) battery life.

I have been a massive vocal critic of battery life in these flag ship phones since the day they came onto the market.

All brands have simply leapt forward on every technical front except the development of battery technology?

In the past 18 months I have owned around 6 top line mobiles from various brands and all suffer from battery life shortage.

It is a dilemma as we, the consumer, push for slimmer, more powerful spec's with 2k or even 4k screen's with octa core processors etc etc so in reality what can we expect?

Personally I would pleasingly sacrifice this new fashion of paper thin mobiles for a thicker mobile than can last 48 hours while being able to make full use of said mobiles technology.

Problem is if we even try to make full use of any modern day 'Uber mobiles' full functionality we would be lucky to make it past lunch time! this, to me, somewhat negates having these smart mobiles with technology so advanced but we cannot make full use of it? In reality its rather absurd BUT all top line mobiles suffer the same, the battery technology has not advanced in line with the specifications of these massively powerful and aesthetically pleasing mobile devices.

I am NOT defending Samsung and not criticising other brands, when it come to battery they are all, at this level, rather left wanting.

I guess we are victims of the saying...Be careful what you wish for, it might come true?

Kind regards, Ryland
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] poplectic:
I'm not rooted and I get on average 6 to 7 hours SOT. At least that's what I figure. I don't have enough time in a day to use it that much. But that's what I extrapolate from current usage. Here's a couple of screenshots I just happened to take last night.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] kylecore:
It's not i regret my upgrade to the plus but I feel the note 5 would have been the better choice. Spec wise its the exact same phone and is $100CAD cheaper. The trade off being a gimmicky near functionless curved screen to a pen which although gimmicky still has more functionality.

As for issues you're having I can't say I have the same issues, could be software due to your carrier? The battery life is a bit of a joke though, great the first few days until I started installing apps but that's the same with every phone. I did find that disappoint adaptive display helped a lot as the phone goes nuts in bright areas trying to maintain a constant contrast ratio.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] poplectic:
I would disagree that the curved screen is gimmicky or functionless. I feel it makes viewing content much more immersive. I notice a difference when I switch to a flat screen now. I'm getting used to the curves!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] kylecore:
Gimmicky as in serves no actual useful purpose compared to a stylus. But opinions are opinions enjoy yours! :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] ActorMike:
Love mine, the latest software update made some battery tweaks. Anytime you adopt a new device, you have to wait for software updates to address issues. The phone is rock solid and the fast charger at home and in the car is great! Battery life is no longer an issue. I also got a portable quick charger for 18.00 on sale on amazon!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] 2dorr:
I am happy with it and I got 5 hours on 4g so on wifi it's even better. I use package disabler and greenify without root.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] elecday:
do not use the Samsung smartphone before.

but i will consider if or not to buy after read your thread
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Maknora:
nope not rooted. im surprised as hell like you but nowadays, if i wake up at 8 am, i know I will easily have about 15-25% by 12 am. it wasnt like this before the update.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Arioni:
I get 5 hours SoT. Facebook installed. WiFi on Location on. With 3G the battery life goes down to 3 hours but that's expected. I'm really satisfied with the phone. it feels really light and compact despite the "phablet size" of the screen. The edges are just a design feat and nothing more. Camera is excellent. Charge is fast. I get no lags ever. Reception is nice and signal is strong. I really can't complain about anything else except from the price which is high. The Amoled screen here is really well calibrated. First time I see an Amoled screen without cartoonish look and with a nice warm white point (Amoled Photo mode). TouchWiz is thinned down and in smoothness matches Google's Vanilla Android. I didn't even download a custom launcher who imagined. This is from a long Nexus user. If you have the money go and buy it. This phone is a jewel. The only thing that worries me is that there are rumours that Samsung may launch S7 edge plus along with the normal S7 in February which will render this one outdated so soon. Again this is a rumour and nothing more.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] heroji:
Yes im satisfied with my edge+ after i rooted it hehe

Sent from my SM-G928F using Xposed Modules

No regrets, disabled some apps for better battery life. but does not feel good in hand as my note 3 did.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] JonathanAV95:
The only issue i have with this phone is the battery life and the Touch ID feature not working 100%. Other than that i feel the phone is 100% great. I dont understand why so many people are hating the love for such a gorgeously designed phone! Hopefullt some of the new updates implement fixes for these since the phone is such a great phone. However i dont see them all been fix since the Note 5 is their flagship phone and not the edge+!

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] kolembo:
Love this phone, think it's fantastic
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] dspcap:
No regrets... first phone in about 5 years I haven't rooted either.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Pushed to the Edge:
You really oughta optimize your apps when reminded to do so by your phone-choose the last option. Disable some stuffs you don't need, there is the 'enable' option should u need to use the apps. Also for brightness push the lever to slightly below 50%, you can still use your phone as the brightness level has not been too minimized. This way, the battery can last much longer. I have not charge up my phone for the past 3 days, i still have 65%. :cyclops:
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] WastedJoker:
My only real issue is typing one handed on a non-stock kb and accidentally touching the edges.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] GibMcFragger:
This exactly.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Arioni:
The phone is almost perfect except from the following let downs.

The Bad:

Lock screen bug still not fixed and happens many times per day hope Marshmallow will fix it.

The edges color distortion due to AMOLED viewing angle is quite visible on white content.

Fast charging is not always kicking in. You have to plug in again and again the micro USB until it recognizes it as Fast Charging.

The not so great:

Fingerprint reader is not better or faster than Apple's. To enhance it you have to scan the same finger as a 2nd fingerprint at multiple angles and positions. This makes it more accurate.

Battery life is good but not great. Could have been better but it's certainly not bad.

Camera sometimes fails at Auto Mode.

TouchWiz is far better than the previous editions but could have been more "materialistic" and even less bloated.

The aggressive memory management is bad but is not causing problems for now. Hope Marshmallow rom will fix this.

The Good

Everything else :)

Tip For those who feel that is phone is slippery and "edgy" in hand try a clear TPU case like Spigen's. It makes the phone wayyyyyyyyyyy better in hand and grip and doesn't make it bulky and the beauty of it's back is visible so you don't cover it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] cavkic:
-this, yes.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] umbrokhan:
had the phone over a week now.

seems fast and smooth.

best screen i've ever seen on any smart phone.

battery life is good its similar to HTC one m8 battery life. 1 day and a half on average use

the galaxy s6 edge plus to big in my jean pockets, if someone can tell me where to get big pockets for jeans and trousers. i try to fit in my rain coat but scared people might steal it.

unlock screen sometimes freezes/hangs for few seconds. happened twice in one week. i don't think its hardware fault. i think its firmware bug.

i hope it gets fixed on marshmallow Android 6.0 update coming in December 2015.

overall am happy with the phone. i give it 9 out of 10. will give it 10/10 when bug is fixed and find jeans with big pockets
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] EricLandis:
Somehow i got no issues about my s6 edge.. I'm loving it the design the specs especially the camera is so good..
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Maknora:

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] hello00:

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] helloworld:
I think 6p is better on speakers and fingerprint sensor. everything else S6 Edge Plus is better.
