[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] MANswers:
I REGRET!! I wished i had brought the Note 5, instead of the edge plus.

Reason, firstly there are no proper tempered glass screen protectors, glass screen protectors and edge line of phones are a myth a joke. It hasnt happened, it will never happen, looks like they can never master creating a glass screen protector for curved/edge phones.

Though the screen size on the note 5 and edge plus is the same, but visually the edge looks much thinner due to the edge, yea its visual.. but i think note 5 takes the cake on this for a visually large screen area.

I like thin minimal cases, with the note 5 they are still protecting the phone a bit, but that cannot happen with the edge, cos there is a rubbery bumper protecting the edges of the phone due to the glass on the edge.

Miss my stylus. Love the samsung pay, but that you get on note 5 also.

Yes i hate it, and i regret buying the wrong phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] umbrokhan:
I love the phone to bits. To beautiful. I wish I can marry the phone.

But touchwiz taking to much memory. Need 8Gb RAM for this phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] jowett69:
After 2 weeks playing around with edge+ I miss my Spen. edge+ is a sexy looking phone but I think edge screen just a gimmick. just a shame Samsung could not bring note 5 to UK. Now stuck with phone for 2 years, but best looking phone going.!!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] apprentice:
I can't believe some of the negative comments about this phone. I absolutely love the S6 Edge Plus. I don't have any of the issues people are so called experiencing. For me it is the best looking phone Samsung have released, it has zero lag and my battery lasts easily a full day with relatively high usage. The camera and screen are outstanding. No issues with fingerprint reader at all. I can only conclude you either have a faulty phone or you are not using it properly!

As for someone giving negative comments because "There aren't enough cases" is stupid. That's hardly an issue with the phone, there are hundreds anyway!!

Someone said wireless charging is slow, I say that's nonsense, it's faster than other phones, speaker is loud too. The list goes on

So no regrets WHATSOEVER!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] umbrokhan:
yeah 99% of people are happy around the world. only 1% around the world might have faulty phone's or bugs. bugs at the start of the week but most of the bugs go away after few days or week. so give your phone time to settle down.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] r3ix:
My only regret is the brightness bug. I love this phone
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] umbrokhan:
what you mean by brightness bug?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Su_Tweetz:
Best decision I ever made was to be this phone. As die hard Nexus fan I was on the ropes for the 6P. But oh boy I am in love with this amazing device. I haven't been able to get much work done cuz I have just been taking the phone outta the pocket just to see how gorgeous it is and the display/screen is just amaze balls.

My dad got the iPhone 6S Plus and I've been comparing it with the S6 Edge+. The Edge+ blows the iPhone 6S away in so many aspects. So happy with this phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] r3ix:
Even the auto brightness off, the auto brightness is on
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] umbrokhan:
that's weird mine is working fine. mashAllah

i haven't heard anyone else having that problem. might be a faulty phone

you have 2 years warranty with phone. you can get it repaired.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] r3ix:
Point a flashlight to your phone and you will see the auto brightness working.

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

I went to a lot of stores and all do this. Google for this issue and you will see many and many with this issue
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] umbrokhan:
are you serious? what do you mean explain more. sounds like your joking or maybe spam - ing
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] r3ix:
Google it. When you turn off auto brightness, it will work as the auto brightness on.

To test this, turn off the auto brightness and point a flashlight to your phone and you will see more brightness. Or if you go to a dark room and you will see the screen dark.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] knite75:
Confirmed. Auto brightness has never worked for me. And I have had two Edge+.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] apprentice:
Hmmm.. I don't have this problem, it works perfectly. Maybe you don't have the latest update.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Arioni:
I don't have the auto brightness bug. Only the random lock screen lag.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] r3ix:
I have. I tried every single phone in many stores and all do that
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] HundenBuller:
I love my edge+

...but considering what I paid - I'm regretting it...
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] stone5000556:
No regrets here...

This phone certainly will never win any value points, yet that in no way makes it a bad phone. First of all lag on this phone can't be beat by another android phone today hands down. Same goes for the camera, buy a camera if this phone won't satisfy you, you just won't be satisfie. The screen is the best screen on a android device I have ever seen. Battery life is acceptable if your not going for a safari, I mean for the price of this phone you can likely get a 2,000 mah battery for $15 to get you through the heaviest of days. Samsung has yet to accept that front facing speakers will best any design they come up with so until then use a speaker. Always use UAG so no lack of case for me. Who uses a screen protector on this phone? It scratches just like your screen does but much more easily, I mean most of the time your using a worse screen with more scratches. Using Lux auto brightness and that works fine without root :) Tmobile unlimited music stream negates micro SD issue, as well as tmobiles timely updates makes me quite happy.

Bottom line, if you want value and development buy the new nexus. If you want the best android device out of the box today, get the S6 Edge+ or Note 5. Neither have issues you can't use accessories and or device development to fix. If you don't need a new phone then wait, just because it's the best doesn't mean it's worth the $ unless you want to spend your $
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] kingwicked:
i bought s6 edge plus 64gb black exactly a month ago. i had no issues with software or battery.

the front glass of my phone cracked after falling 3ft below on carpet. it had a rugged cover by spigen on back. the phone flat on floor. and the screen has broken

never ever had a phone broken in last 8 years . i have used S1,2,3,4,5 note1,2,3,4. I am really dissapointed by the hardware quality. Going to get the screen repaired and sell it

will again buy a note4 instead of new samsung glass phones. i am frankly very dissapointed..
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] hc3po:
I ordered the Galaxy S6 Edge+ about 2 weeks ago, since the Nexus 6P wasn't availabe in Germany until today. I thought could give TouchWiz a try again, since everybody said they debloated it. I was quite impressed with the phones hardware when i unboxed it. I never thought i would say something like this about a Samsung device.... i never liked their designs, and neither did i like their software.

So in terms of hardware and overall feel, i really,really dig the phone.

* Supreme materials and great feel in the hand. I got the silver version, it really looks stunning in my opinion.

* Best display i have seen so far.

* Battery life was ok. I got the impression that battery life improved after several charging cycles and hat no issues on a full day of usage.

* Camera is really great

But in terms of software, i was not amused once again.....

* First thing i encountered was the logscreen lag mentioned previously. Sometimes it hangs about half a minute until you can get it back to work. First downer for a 850€ smartphone.

* Overall UI Performance has been better than on previous Samsung devices, but still not as fluid as on stock Android. I still have my Moto X 2014, and tested scrolling speed in various google apps. I still find the performance on my Moto X to be more fluid overall.

* There are still a lot of apps and services preinstalled i have never heard of. Since they are part of the rom, you can only deactivate them. Less would more in my opinion. Same goes with the full package of Microsoft apps. Not a big deal to see Microsoft Office preinstalled, but at least they could let me remove it.

* Furthermore, those apps are installed from Samsungs own app store....jesus...why do they have to try to build their own ecosystem around the google environment. This only confuses averages customers. For my part, it just pisses me off :laugh:

So overall, it's just the software that is bugging me. It might get better with a future update....but it also might get worse. I ordered a Nexus 6P today. I will compare the two devices when i get my Nexus, and then decide which one to keep. So far, my bet is on the Nexus.....

If only Samsung would ship stock android, i would have no doubt i would have been totally happy with this device....
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] deroyabun:
To be honest...

i regret it a bit. my old phone was a note 4, and i really miss it :(

in my day i was used to change the battery when it was empty... an no SD-Card :(
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] riz157:
Best designed phone and hardware out there. Brilliant screen and awesome camera.

Now the bits I hate

Touch wiz less bloated still ugly but not as sluggish.

Speakers position pretty stupid cover up very easily and not loud enough.

Very little development support and will never see stock android.

I thought the design and camera would make up for the Crappy ui but unfortunately it didn't . Got rid of.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Tom-Helge:
Then install a new theme that suits you better. The theme store is there for a reason, you know.

The speakers for me are good enough. Ofc, they could have been a tiny bit louder i agree.

The phone are still pretty new. Give it some few months and then let's see how it is. And as far as TouchWiz ROMs is now, i don't see the need for a pure stock Android as it does this:

1. Gives you lesser batterytime over what the TouchWiz ROM does because of no optimalization towards the unit itself.

2. You loses a crap ton of features where one of them is the amazing camera controls in the TouchWiz camera. Not only that, but the camera on the pure stock Android gives WAAAAAY worser picture quality over the TouchWiz camera. The stock Android camera is pure trash in comparsion.

3. You wont have as color accurate screen with a pure stock Android either as it doesn't have the color modes the TouchWiz ROMs have. If you like accurate colors, you better use the 'Basic' mode on the TouchWiz ROMs. And yes, it's proven to be the most color accurate mode on any smartphones today, so go figure.

So those 3 points alone is enough reasons to not use a pure stock Android or any types of CM or AOSP ROM's on any of the newer Galaxy phones. So why waste time with this when 99.8% of all Galaxy S6 edge+ users will be completely happy with the TouchWiz UI and stuffs on the phone today anyways?

EDIT: And if you just like the pure stock Android looks, then have a look here:

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] pokosik:
Yes. Because i paid big money for it and samsung even couldn't fix bugs. What's wrong with 'screen unlock' bug, is this normal not to fix it for such a long time? I used this phone for month and got one update which didn't fix anything. What's the point of such update.

Overall it's really great device : good camera, build quality, hardware. But software bug's were killing me. My wife bought zenfone 2 and it performs much better than my edge+.

Sold my edge+ and bought oneplus x, i can root, flash custom roms and won't loose my warranty. It has bugs too, customer support is bad but I paid more than two times less than I paid for edge plus. So i think it's pointless buy "flagships" when usage experience is same as phone which cost two/three times cheaper... I know that i'll buy more phones, this is my 'illness', but next time i'll look not only on 'flagships' but on cheaper one's too. So this is my thoughts.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] deepphrozen:
Not only this, my Galaxy S6 Edge (without +) had the GPS issue. It is not possible to use GPS and i had to take it because i rooted the phone and lost warranty. I smashed it at the end because the same vendor who sold it to me for 700 bucks wanted to give me 300 as a second hand mobile. After this i swore to never again buy a Samsung device but broke it with the Edge +. But now i really will never again get one. I am done with Samsung
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] stevebubble:
kinda

Nothing wrong with the phone, per se - just wish I'd got a Note 5... I miss the S Pen. Might swap it...

Steve
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] jdizzle316:
I just got the phone yesterday. I am on Sprint, and i traded my black 32gb, Note 5 for a 64gb, gold S6 Edge +. First off, i have had every version of the Note phone except for the first one....and I have loved every single one of them. Only problem i have had with the Note Series is the Note 4 had horrible speakers and the Note 5 was constantly muting my phone calls. Well, long story short...I am not too happy with my decision....don't get me wrong, the S6 Edge + is an amazing phone, but to me it seems like the S6E+ seems to have a slower quick charge time than the Note. It's also harder to hold due to the lack of curve on the BACKSIDE of the phone. Also, the glare coming from the edges of the screen is constantly reflecting light.

Honestly tho, the S6E+ is a great phone, but imo, the Note 5 is MUCH better. Do I regret my decision? Not really, I mean, it's a great phone, but i like trying out new phones....chances are slim, but i hope i'll be able to trade it for a Nexus 6p.

For anyone on the fence about buying the S6E+, if you can live with the minor issues i stated above, then i say go for it. You won't find a better looking phone with probably the best camera on a smartphone around....it's just not for me
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] umbrokhan:
every phones has it weakness and strength. if you go on note 5 forum or nexus 6P or Iphone 6s you will see people having problems there aswell. so far there's no 100% perfect phone.

iphone copy samsung. and samsung copy iphone. copying each other makes the phone better.

both have O ready have premium design. and finger print scanner.

so the gap is closing very quickly. very soon both operating system will be stable and smooth like butter.

even the budget phone are becoming more powerful. be spoiled for choice.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] apprentice:
Don't forget that the phones on display in stores are severely cut down demo units with sub standard components. I spoke at length to two separate guys in different stores and they confirmed this.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] voludar:
I got my Edge + 1 month ago, and I have been very happy with it. I upgraded from a rooted HTC m8 mostly because I was bored with it, for a moment I even entertained the idea of getting the iPhone 6s. I played with it for 2 days and I hated it, though the new touch id is awesome. After my bad wxperience with the Note 2 I swore never to buy a Samsung again...but they were able to win me back. For me it's like this:

Pros : Screen, Camera, Design, Fast Charging, Fingerprint Scanner, Wireless charging.

Cons: Sometimes I get the jitters when I unlock it, Battery could be better, so far the max for me was 4h 50min SOT. But in reality it takes 1 hour to go from 15% to 100% with the fast charging so that's not really an issue for me.

p.s I forgot about the RAM management...90% usage with 4GB...come on...
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] benno4403:
I did regret it a lot! I had my S6 Edge plus for about two weeks and I could not get used to it. The bended screen, no Micro-SD support, bad batterylife.. I switched back to my old and trusted S5. I will wait for a new model to be released..
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] umbrokhan:
SD Card? if you worried about more space then get 128Gb model.

i love the bended screen and so many other people do.

battery life is average. you can fast charge it so no really problem there either. wireless charge maybe on train, coach, etc.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] SonyEX1:
No not at all! Is the best phone I ever had. I was worried about no sd card but it´s not a problem for me at all. I have the 64gb variant and the memory on the phone is 60% FREE! I almost use clouds for everything and I recommend everyone to do so. If you lose your phone everything still is in your cloud.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] riz157:
Development support will never pickup for this phone, see after a year. I beg to differ that 99.8% are happy with touchwiz given the choice many would ditch touchwiz for more stock android or close to as possible. Reading recent reports it's seem as finally Samsung are taking the blinkers off and accepting the notion that touchwiz is losing momentum and appeal. I mean compare last year TW to this year's they have already removed much of the bloatware which was causing severe lag issues. I will look forward to what changes they will make for S7 and I think you will find it will be closer to stock android then ever before. Wonder what those die hard fans of TW will say then!!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Riardon:
I never understood those double standards with Samsung. Their TW is smooth less bloated and works pretty well. It is the first time I unistalled Nova Launcher from a phone and used the stock launcher. TW will never get near Google's stock Android. You can see where Samsung is heading by watching their Marshmallow TW theme. The new TW will be simpler less bloated and fast but do not expect "Vanilla" Android. I never got why some people think Samsung must adopt Google's skin and not all the rest of OEM's Look the Chinese OEMs skins look at LG, HTC and everyone else. For most people out there there is no problem with TW. You can see from the myriad of phone Samsung is selling. Their skin is not the problem. Even if Samsung lost a bit of sales that wasn't from their flagships and it wasn't enough to dethrone them from the 1st OEM in the Android World. It doesn't matter what few of us saying in G+ Reddit or XDA. We are the minority. Most Samsung buyers think TW is OK obviously there are even TW fans out there even if this sounds odd for some people. I've met people who didn't like Google's skin for example saying it's too simplistic and boring. Everyone has his persnoal taste. Be together not same is Google's moto. There will no be a wide adoption of Google's skin by OEMs any time soon. Even if this sounds as a major benefit and selling point it's proven otherwise.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] :
Am I happy with this phone?

Yes and no.

Performance-wise? Yes. I made the effort to root, tweak with 3C ToolPro Box and replace the native launcher with Nova Prime. I have, on average, 1.4GB free. It flies and I can get a full day out of it. However, even on stock, it performed extremely well.

Firmware-wise? No. Many International variants have all received Firmware plus incremental updates. I am in Canada and Samsung/Carriers are slow to release the necessary Firmware. I'm sure it will happen (eventually) but it leaves many an Enthusiast without the ability to return to stock.

Future-wise? Absolutely not. Once Samsung introduces the next iteration of Galaxy-based handhelds utilizing Qualcomm technology, this generation of S6/Note 5 variants will be left in the dust. Simply because the unavailability of Exynos source code.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] merbiyatch:
I dont know why but i never learn. . Every year Sammy releases a new device, i always get it and always regret it, even with the latest flagship release its still not up to standard with what i pay for it compared to all my nexus devices ive baught and still have, Half the price 100% satisfaction and longetivity.

Aaaaaaanyways,

Rooted the phone (dont give a damn samsung pay) to get rid of all that bloat. Installed custom kernel. And its..... Ok. No wow factor.

Touchwiz is still the same old touchwiz. Yes the Extra ram did help but did they really have to go there? (Bottlenecking anyone). Nothing a 3PA cant handle.

Battery is still ****. Turning on the power saving mode does help tons. And switching out kernels if your rooted. Getting a day and a half from using the phone moderatly after root. Nothing my unrooted nexus 6p cant handle.

Sammy notifications constantly pushing you to try out their apps. Again, not thing root cant do.

Not that much custom Rom support. (mostly all devs dont wanna **** around sammy anymore) and thanks for those that still do. Much appreciated.

Camera is a beast. For reals. No issue with fast charging (yet).

Compared to a nexus 6p which has 1gb less ram, running games on SGSE6+ is stuttery. Nexus 6p? Butter.

I compare the SGS6E+ to the Nexus 6p because in terms of hardware they are almost similarly identical. Except for the fact the other hals 1 gb less ram but still kicking it competitors ass in by far almost ever margin.

With everything being said, YES I DO REGRET BUYING IT.

The last Sammy device ill ever purchase. This time ill learn.

Goodbye SGS6E+ say hello to swappa.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] neflictus:
Definitely yes. Android os is killing my battery. Tried everything. Different firmwares, debloated everything, disabled everything and uninstalled everything. Factory reset, wiped cache.

The only solution: root and amplify. Used amplify to slow down the time interval for wake locks and services. Nothing else worked. NOTHING.

Never happened to me before with a Samsung phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Aequilibrium:
I don't regret it the slightest!

P.S. Battery life is awesome!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] kolembo:
Not at all.

Beautiful, smooth, quick.

Like nothing else out there.

Very happy.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] seven2099:
buttery smooth, beastly battery life improved even more so with arter97's kernel.

No lags at all. I don't get it lol, the complains are hilarious.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] nickkyboy36:
1st update I had the freezing lock screen. 2nd update sorted this.

Now with this 3rd release of firmware, it is back and it's worse than it has ever been!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] umbrokhan:
maybe faulty phone give it back were you got it from and get refund or exchange for another galaxy s6 edge+ plus or note 5.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] SonyEX1:
For me the 3rd release was perfect! No more freezing, better batterylife and a bit faster :)
