Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge G925A 32GB Unlocked GSM Phone w/ 16MP Camera - White

My wife and I have had iPhones and iPads for over five years now. We both were very happy with them and had no plans to give them up. We started hearing little snippets here and there about the new Samsung phone coming out, but payed it little attention. Then a week before the release, we were walking through best buy and saw the new displays that had just been setup that day. The s6 was nice, but the Edge , by far, outshined every other phone on display. The screen was gorgeous, and the camera was better than my point and shoot. We played with the phones while there, and decided that day, that we had to have them. After a couple of weeks with them, we enjoy having phones again. I didn't realize what I was missing, and I am considering turning in my iPad for a Samsung tablet.

This is the first Samsung phone I have ever owned. When upgrading my phone a few weeks ago, I thought my decision between several current flagship phones would be difficult. However, when I saw the Edge first hand, I gave the other phones only a perfunctory look and my decision was easy. The Edge is an eye-catcher. The display is crystal clear. The phone is fast. The camera is excellent. I have been using it for three weeks now, and these are my observations. Design: Stunning. A really beautiful phone. The glass construction has a really premium look to it. It also is very nice to hold; it feels good in my hand. The look of the curved edges is reminiscent of the look of an endless pool. The only drawback is the protruding camera; it would have been nice to have a completely flat back. Display: Crystal clear. Beautiful. No issues. Battery: My concern about the battery not being powerful enough has proven unfounded. The first few days after I bought the phone, the battery drained pretty fast; however, I figured out that a couple of apps were the likely culprits. I disabled them. I also switched to a darker wallpaper and lowered the brightness level of the screen. Since then, a full charge in the morning has been lasting me through the work day and well into the evening without recharging. I plan on purchasing the wireless charger for use in my office. Fast Charger: This is a very nice feature. The first few days the fast charging didn't work. I discovered that I had not pushed the USB cable far enough into the adapter. When you push the USB cable into the adapter, it may not be fully seated. Give it an extra push if fast charging doesn't seem to be working on your phone. It would have been nice to have two fast chargers, one for home and one for travel. Camera: The camera takes clear pictures. It also launches very quickly. The quick launch feature (double-clicking the home button) is very convenient. Probably the best phone camera on the market today. Headphone Jack and Speaker Placement: Since the phone sits in my pocket upside down, the placement of the headphone jack and the speaker makes perfect sense. Sound: Speaker has plenty of volume. No issues here. The Edges: There is not much functionality with the edges at this time. A couple of third-party apps have increased the utility of the edges for me. The night clock is a nice touch. Hopefully more functionality will be created for the phone's edges. Other features: This phone has a powerful processor as I have not experienced any lags in any of the functions or apps. The triple-click of the home button as a short cut to some functions is nice. (I use it to invoke the gray scale feature). Changing the font size in messages through the volume buttons is a thoughtful feature. I like the link to the theme store for personalizing themes, icons and wallpapers. My experience with the S6 Edge has been nothing but positive. I love it, and I highly recommend it, or the other S6 models as your next phone.
