The Galaxy S6 Edge Is Totally Beautiful—And Pointless
I will be getting it
This funtion is what i am looking for & sets the phone apart from the others
"when you set the phone on a table it can light up notifications or a clock"

Hey guys,
I'm about to soon pull the trigger on either the Galaxy Note 5 or a S6 Edge+. What I have observed from playing with some display units in best buy is that both screens of both edge phones (s6 edge, s6 edge+) have this weird light glow, or light bleed in the curved edges. I had the phones on high brightness, and was mostly on a white background (browser). It somewhat bothers me, and it makes me want to pull the trigger on a Note 5 even faster. However I would like to know if this issue is widespread to all phones, even the international models.
Another question, do you guys believe that the Edge+ will have better development than the Note 5?

Back light bleeding is normal in some circumstances but if you get easily annoyed by that then maybe you should run some test first before purchasing a phone.
Regarding the matter between Edge+ and note 5. I believe that they will feed both devices the same treatment. Since focusing only in one will agitate the opposite user. imo
Edge+ has the auto brightness bug , quite annoying

maybe it's just a user bug.
He might be taking about the new power save option that does not allow you to manually deselect the screen.

so i think the Edge 6 plus in gold just look phenomenal but there's something in me that says the S pen on the note 5 is more practical then the edge ticker. i went in the VZW store yesterday and i couldnt get the edge info ticker or other options to work right, but im attributing that to the VZW demo that kept popping up on the screen. I know the edge screen doesnt do much, but does it work like it's supposed do?
i know the phones are almost identical besides pen and edge....
any other reasons i should pick the 6+ over the note 5?

no trying to decide
Samsung S6 Edge+ Plus is faster in benchmark
Gold colour is the best
screen looks more beautiful, curved edge on both sides. 3D effect
better battery life
edge s6+ is more lighter. not heavy for its size.
are you going to use the S pen for 1 or 2 weeks then never use it again?
.
Just swithched from N5. Love the looks, form factor and the screen is more accurate.

If you want the Stylus and its features go Note 5. If you want the sexiest design in market go Edge+. The Edge+ is slightly faster on benches and has slightly better battery life due to the lack of all the stylus features that run in the background. Do not expect features for the edges they are there for sexiness and design and I love them. Swiping from the edges feels really good on them. The Edge+ in Gold is really dope and eyecatcher all my friends ask me immediately what's this phone and want to touch it. Also the Edge+ feels more compact on hand and despite its screen size it's really small. If it feels slippery on your hand and the Edges are hard for you to grip on I will suggest you to use a transparent TPU case which will not hide the sexiness of the phone and will help a lot the grip. Despite their design differences and the stylus internally those 2 are exactly the same.
I bought the edge 6+ because I couldn't find a 64gb Note 5. I looked at both, the edge is sexier.... At a price. It's an uncomfortable phone to hold, this after two months of it. It's so beautiful that you want to hold it all the time though. Also, the edges catch light differently, and the keyboard is not so accurate to use.
Practically, if I had had the Note 5 in 64gb in front of me I'd have chosen that.
32gb on either, despite what people say, is too little.
So having owned and loved the Note Edge when it came out in 2014, then I had to switch to the Nexus 6 while I was on Google Fi, I decided to jump back to Tmobile and grab the s7 edge.
Well. I had the V10 LG actually, but it kept having overheat issues, so they switched me to the s7 Edge because they were out of the S7 regular.
But as it stands I gotta say, the edge screen function on this device is crap compared to the Note Edge screen. I have to swipe a goofy small box that is hard to get at with a case on, only to have the phone lag slightly as it loads up everything. This boggles me because its literally NO different from simply hitting the home button and launching the app I wanted from the home screen. Whereas on the Note Edge, I could have all my apps I used frequently right there on a separate side screen.
Kinda sad about that actually. Hell. Even the V10 had that extra screen up top that had 4 apps I could place that I used frequently to save time.
The phone itself is fantastic. I have the silver one, and it's hands down the most beautiful device I have ever owned. Bar none. Battery life is alright, I game a lot. The camera is superb (wish the camera controls were on the edge screen like the note edge too). Wish I could get a case that was the same material the phone itself is made out of.
All in all. Not too impressed by the edge feature on this phone compared to the Note Edge. Both still suck in the way that they are underutilized and under developed as far as third party apps go.
Night Clock feature has always been my favorite on both devices and I wish it could be permanently on, not on a 16 hour limit.
Honestly. I'll probably jump to the V20, or back to the Note Edge soon.

I agree with basically everything you said. I disabled every edge feature. I personally got the edge because it's so pretty looking and the bigger battery is nice. Finding a good case and screen protector is probably the hardest part of ownership. I love the phone, but the edge has more cons than pros. Still very satisfied with my purchase.
Yes I agree I did not have the Note Edge before but that was the full side screen the new S7 Edge Edge feature really sucks
Yep, just yep
Yep the edge screen is mainly for making the device look awesome and awkward to hold without a case. I like my S7 Edge for the most part.
It definitely serves form more than function.
It's a YMMV kind of thing if you ask me. I own two different cases, one is low-budget for sure, and edge swiping isn't effected by either.
I like the feature to be honest - as someone who never experienced it before. I certain that some cases screw up the whole thing though.
Dexterity probably has A LOT to do with it ... that and geometry of one's hand.
You can't blame Sammie for what case mfg's do or don't do well ...
I had an S6 Edge Plus. With it when the screen was off I could rub my finger up and down the edge a couple of times and the edge light panels would come on. On the S8 Plus that I just got this does not work. The only thing I am able to see are the regular edge panels when the display is on and I open them with the tab I the side. Is this feature not available on the S8 Plus?
I noticed I had an update available on the edge screen today. They launched new settings for the edge lighting. Can change colors, width, etc. See screenshot. Been waiting for this.
Now I just wish I could get that old peoples edge where I could set a color for each person that the S7 Edge had at launch.
