I don't know what is scary. It doesn't impact our phones.

Hi. That is correct. Although, if there are no more Edge phones in the future that could curtail development on this one at a more rapid rate. I was also concerned about this with respect to next phone I will buy, which is hopefully a continuation of the Edge series.
it's totally crazy

I can't go back to a normal phone now iv used an Edge phone. It is wrong to not promote a phone properly then stop upgrading, Samsung fail.
I think Note Edge series will be replaced by S6 Edge plus. It will be 5.7' screen and edge screen on both sides.
I'll keep my Edge forever then!

But no S pen...
Face it. For good or for bad, we've got the very definition of a Frankenphone.
In spite of all the positive media attention and how quickly it sold out in every market they made it available, Samsung doesn't seem interested in make the Note Edge as we know it part of their yearly lineup.
They seem more interested in tinkering around with their own in-house mobile platform that is completely useless, clunky, and a waste. Oh, and don't forget smart watches - talk about sinking money and manpower into something that is a niche market at best.

The more u see about the note 5, 5 edge (or s6 edge plus) scares me. I cant believe that the note edge was so under appreciated. I loved the hell out of mine. In fact regret getting rid of it especially if there will be no note edge 2. I traded mine for a nexus 6 thinking "in a few months the next version will be out and i will grab one"
The more i see about the s6 plus i am worried that there will be almost no edge function on anymore phones. The fact that the edge had an actual ton more use than the s6 edge really sucks if things are going to be the way they appear

In my opinion S6E+ it only matters for the battle with iPhone. Samsung must take into account NE2.
Well, perhaps there is hope for those that need micro sd. Presumably battery can be pulled too.

I sure hope they do another note edge. I dont want a big s6 edge i want another note edge

And the more gimmicky nearly nonfunctional dual edges. SMH!!
Sadly the Note Edge is more functional than a phone with 2 edges, how the hell is this possible?? LMAO!!!
I hope we see a Note Edge 2 2nd-Q or 3rd-Q 2016

But it seems as though by then and the direction the S6Edge+ and Note 5 are headed in I'll becoming a devoted LG Stylus user, where they don't remove parts and call it a upgrade, such as the microSD Slot and removable battery.
_
Samsung if I wanted a to buy a iPhone I'd buy an iPhone or ChinAndroid iPhone, quit trying to force your competitors specs on us and call it a better experience and a upgrade, lack of a battery and microSD slot is not a gain no matter how you look at it.
I had an s6 for a year that i sold for a note5, then traded my note 5 64gb in for this. While the phone is sleek, sexy, better processor etc im not a fan on the edge screen. Its basically useless. Its just a cool factor to show off. It serves no special purpose. While i knew this and decided to upgrade thats totally my homer dough moment. Everything else about the phone is awesome. The reason im regretting it because anything that needs to be touched on the actual edges doesnt freaking respond. For example. I have to hit the letter p a couple times because it doesnt always register. I hope i can live with this lol. As it kind of takes away screen real estate. This goes for any app. Try it yourself. Maybe something is wrong with mine idk. Phone seems perfect other than it having edges. Sorry for the vent, but id test this out in stores first before you buy since i didn't do it. I already sent off my note 5 so i doubt i can get it back.

Works fine for me.
it has a ton of edge features you just may not no it. edge feeds edge lighting notifications, quick launch anything from right edge fully customizable. if you have the phone on face down the edge light will periodically flash alerts. while the screens off take your finger and swipe it back and for on the edge. wow news feeds notifications stock tickers all customizable
Make sure you apply the update mine works just fine and I love the edge screen it has a lot of options that are handy for me that I can get to quickly
I'm liking the new Edge features. I use it more now.

The problem that I have run into and maybe this really what is going on with you. I have stuff not respond to realize the my pinky is touching the edge of the screen. You really got to watch for that.

I have that issue and if I hold it in my left hand, the bottom left corner my palm touches, I can't use the phone left handed. The update fixed the right palm touching the screen, but my left palm has issues.
The a key has a lot of difficulty with the edge. I've learned to work around it; I primarily swype/slyde/whatever it's called to type, so it's only with passwords that I have an issue.
I remember a few years ago I used to be able to swype passwords; I hate having to manually key each letter. It may be safer, but whatever.
I had the same issue when I first began using my s7 edge. I then moved the edge tab to the top of the phone screen and I haven't had an issue since. I use Swiftkey for my keyboard, best available in my opinion.
No problems with the Edge screen here, and I like some of the functionality it offers. Of course, almost all of those functions could work with a flat screen, too, but Samsung didn't give us that option.
Hi
Looking for a new phone, upgrading from Samsung GS6. Upgrading cause my S6 won't last much longer as I have been unlucky with keeping it in my hands (so will buy a case for this) and I get 110£ discount from my carrier.
But as I never owned a "Edge" phone i'm curious how it feels. Is it fine holding in the hands? Don't you touch the Edges all the time?
So what the some of the advantages of the Edge and the normal and which would you buy and why?
Thanks in advance
The edge, bigger screen, bigger battery and it is the best looking smartphone out there IMO.

I totally agree with RickyW! Bigger screen and battery are worth it.
If you can afford the edge version then go for it. It is definitely the premium of the two.
As for handling, you don't really notice the edges after a while. I also own the S6 Edge+ and the edges are slightly sharp, it doesn't bother me. The S7 is smoother, it's a bit like holding a slippery pebble but it feels weighted and premium. Some people have said they accidentally touch the screen with their palms, but I don't have any issues there.
No phone will suit everyone but Samsung have done a great job with the S7 Edge.
.
Edge.
Just a FEW millimeters larger than the S7, but has a 20% larger battery (which results in 20% longer battery live). And the Edges - never thought, i would say that - feel quite nice.
I went with the S7 Edge for a few reasons.
1. Bigger screen.
2. Bigger battery.
3. I never had an edge phone before.
Sometimes I touch the edge accidentally with my palm but it doesn't happen often. I can still get a good grip on the phone when I hold it in my left hand and type, scroll, click, etc. with my right hand.
I previously had an S6, which I chose over the S6 edge at the time, my reasons was I thought the edge was a gimmick. This time round I went for the S7 edge, my main reason was for battery life, I'm not fond of the edge tbh I would much prefer the S7+ (Everything the S7 edge is minus the edges).
I find that when I'm using the phone one handed I accidentally press things with the palm of my hand, left or right handed it happens quite frequently...hopefully I get used to the edges because the phone is pretty dam fine! ?
I REALLY want to get the edge but I can't justify a nonremovable battery. Once I first experienced being able to swap out and in 30 seconds, have 100% again, no charging, not a single plug even into a power bank, I could never go back.
Was the waterproofing that important? Really, how many scuba divers need to check their email?
get Exynos 8890 models for better battery life.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 has bad battery life.

I'm a little nitpicky, but can someone check their galaxy s7 quickly for these 2 things? I wanted to know if I got a bad built phone.
1) I'm coming from a Galaxy Note5, the home button is extremely solid, if you touch/tap it, it doesn't move even a single nanometer, on the Galaxy S7 edge, if I slightly touch/ tap it/ moving finger slightly up and down, it wobbling around a little tiny bit, like a cheap loose keyboard button.
2) The sim card slot after it is inserted, it sunken below the metal frame a little bit, unlike on the note5 in which the outer metal part of sim tray is seamlessly align with the metal frame.
These are not deal breaker or anything, I just want certain things to be perfect, they just bother me a little bit.
Some other things I don't like about Galaxy S7 edge compared to Note5:
When running certain games (for example, Simcity builtit large cities), it is EXTREMELY laggy, like 5 frames per second (I have the crapdragon 820 since I live in US) whereas it is very smooth on my Note5. I read some other posts and I'm sure this problem is due to crappy Samsung gaming service/game launcher feature which they'll probably fix it in like 10 years. Otherwise the phone run smoothly, no lag everywhere else.
Again, when playing some heavy game, the phone does get a lot warmer compared to the Note5, and this phone is supposed to have some kind of mini liquid cooling system.
One other very nitpicking thing, the LED indicator on the Note5, if you look closely, have a high quality built to it, compared to the S7 which look exactly like the Galaxy S3 LED indicator, only smaller.
After all, I'm very happy with my Galaxy S7 edge, look good, a little bit smoother experience (except games), have a much better standby battery life (only drain 3-4% overnight compared to 10-15% on Note5).

Only the sim tray same as yours but it doesn't bother me.
My home key/finger print sensor doesn't wobble, the SIM card it's like youve described above.
Mine doesn't wobble, the sim card tray it can do what your saying but I just choose not to depress it before it gets sunken, I think it's like that for waterproof properties like a spishy seal
No wobble on home screen/sim like you

Thanks guys!
Hey OP I just found out this app today and I've started to use it on my s7edge. It's called easy home for Samsung on the play store. What this app does is instead of actually clicking down on the home bottom u can just double tap on it and it 'll return u back to le home screen. Hope dis helps /cheers.
Sim card slot sits perfectly, but the FP-Button is little bit wobbling (0.01mm or so).

Did you get it from a reputable retailer, or from a private party? There's some fake ones going around, but I have no idea about their numbers, locations, etc. SlashGear just had an article on this.

If it's not defective u have 14 days to return it. 20 days if u bought it from my t mobile.
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2624
SIM tray no problem. Though my first unit had a bent SIM tray from factory. Manufacturing error. My home button wiggles maybe 0,1mm on left side only IF I apply force up & down. Not bu just tapping it. Had not noticed this at all before so it's a non issue.
I have internet Australian version and don't have any of them problems my sim card try sits products
Perfect and my home button is also perfect doesn't have any wobble at all... I think yous have a defective build and for the money they cost they should be perfect
I'm planning to buy S8 next week, so i wanted to hear some opinions, impressions, experiences from the people who already own this phone.
I tryied the phone at the store, it looks nice, it feels nice and it works great, but i would still like to hear what it's like on the daily basis, how's the battery life, does it lag after some time....etc
And one more thing. I've noticed some red tint at the top border, was it just me, or other people noticed the same thing?
Thanks.
I would honestly describe this phone as being the closest phone to perfect that i have ever owned! The only flaw is the finger print scanner! Battery life is very good! Display is excellent, Ergonomically its probably one of the best phones on the market! Likewise the camera is great! There is nothing bad about the device! If someone was to suggest they prefer another handset over the s8 however then iam sure it would purely be personal preference as oppose to choosing it because its better then the S8! Even the software on the S8 is massively improved over previous versions!! But....... just my opinion!!

Location mostly! Haven't even really bothered using it as a result! Tried it out initially and seemed accurate etc but the location just makes using it awkward and its just not as convenient for unlocking the device quickly as it was when we had it on the front! All samsung had to do was place it under the camera as oppose to right beside it and it would be alot better! The haptic feedback home button is pretty cool and actually kinda reminds me of using the finger print sensor on the s7 as you can essentially just press where the home button would of been and it unlocks the device! The downside being of course that anyone can do so as its not an actual security feature!!
I got my S8 approximately 3 weeks ago. I've just come from the iPhone 7 I find the S8 Amazing and it is very sleek. The software is pretty good and very customisable, the battery life is brilliant. The only problem is Samsung have this annoying thing called Bixby which is a siri want to be. It is not possible to deactivate or disable it. The only way to work around this you have to freeze it. Had some random bugs with the Bluetooth. Otherwise amazing phone.
I've had mine around 3 weeks. I have the Samsung clear case so I have no problem with the fingerprint sensor. I'll be putting a DecalGirl skin on so when I'm using the Rhino Bumper I'll still have a tactile nudge. Came from an International S6 (actually the same one you seem to have). Bit better battery life, no lag, amazing screen. I was surprised at how comfortable it is to hold and I'm happy to have an SD card again. I was hesitant to give up my S6 after it got Nougat as it was like a new phone. Can't imagine going back now.
One of the best devices this year... It's a Star on XDA!
It's an amazing phone. Best one I've ever had. I've had it since 4/18. Finger print location doesn't bother me at all. You'll love it!
Perfect. I did configured the fingerprint sensor but I dont use it much. I prefer the iris scanner, its fast. The rest you read it already. Screen, features, hardware, design, battery, you wont regret it

I have the international variant so experience may vary. I love it. Not the biggest fan of the fingerprint scanner position but after a couple days, it became natural. It's very smooth. Smoother than the S7 I'd have to say.
Battery life is amazing. Can easily get over a day of life, even 2 days sometimes. I haven't experienced any lag over time.
The red tint you noticed was probably burn in. That's the only problem I understand with the phone since it's an OLED display. I keep mine in immersive mode and use gestures for the navbar instead (I prefer it actually).
There was an issue with some displays at launch having a red tint which was resolved through software update.
Here my review. It has some profanity so if u don't like hearing cursing don't watch. But it's pretty popular on YouTube at 29k views
You will get used to fingerscanner location and it will not bother. Also useless bixby button can be remapped without root, so no prob here too.
Great phone!
Fps works fine and is ok to reach on my s8 but not for me on the + model.
Face recognition and iris scanner works fine.
The new Samsung Experience Ui is slick and fast.
I'm in the uk so have the exynos version.
The display just pops.
For me the dimensions of the s8 hit my sweet spot and it's really comfortable to hold.
The s8+ version for me was just too big and to me felt top heavy.
It's as slippery as any other glass form factor phone.
I'm using....
Samsung Screen Protector- the film type.
Black Dragon dbrand back skin.
RhinoShield Bumper.

That's exactly what i wanted to know, a daily experience and overall impressions.
Great video man :good:
Only issue with my S8: Display light shines through right under the earpiece. Someone else noticed that?
Apart from that the phone is close to perfect for me.
Do not forget THE SCREEN SCRATCHES VERY EASY.

I get a consistent 5 hours of screen on time every day. And as the other guy noted this screen does scratch easily. I had a buddy that scratched his pretty bad and had no idea how he did it. Haven't scratched mine yet after a couple weeks with no screen protector though. I came from a 6S+ and a note 5 before that and I'm pretty happy with this phone after flashing my unlocked Verizon version to an unbranded Canadian firmware.
uk neverlocked has problems "emergency call only"
I recommend to you that you buy the french version
http://www.expansys.fr/samsung-galaxy-s8-64gb-midnight-black-origin-eu-301130/
I had a s7 edge which is dead last week when trying to put it in water :'(. So I bought s8. So thats what I find:
1/ I really didn't like the unlock features.. the fingerprint sensor is in the back so it is just useless (ps you can save 4 fingers but I dont know how my 4 fingers can access to the fingerprint). The iris scanner cannot be used if the phone is a little bit far (in the car for exemple when you are driving I used to unlock my s7 directly with finger). To be able to unlock your s8 when its far you must use face recognition it is quick but it is useless at night because it uses camera. (Ps1: you cannot see your lockscreen before/without unlocking. Ps2: you cannot use iris and facerecognition at the same time so you must choose night compatible or far compatible).
2/ the screen ration is just so bad.. videos/apps/games are not adapted with display ratio so the phone will show two black bars at the top and at the buttom of the screen + the nav bar is, in the most cases, present in the screen and dont disappear automatically so there is no sense of "infinity screen" and I cant feel it.
3/ the battery takes more time with my s7 edge then my new s8.
So I really felt that s7 edge was better (for me) but samsung should not tell people that phones are water resistant because its not always true. (Sorry for bad english).
