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!

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 wore the Gear VR for 110 minutes, and not one overheating warning. I got suspicious and thought maybe they just got rid of the overheating warning, but for the whole 110 minutes everything played smooth. I would also occasionally feel the back on the phone, it felt warm, but not nowhere as hot as I experienced on the S6 Edge. I wanted to keep at it until I see that overheating warning, but I was getting tired.
On the S6 Edge, when you get the overheating warning, about 5-10 minutes later everything starts to stutter and lag. Almost no stutter or lag on the S7 Edge.
Also on the S7 Edge, everything ran much faster. Loading times on the S7 Edge were very quick compared to the S6 Edge.
S6 Edge .... anywhere from 20 - 35 minutes before the you get the overheating warning. Stutter/lag shortly after.
S7 Edge .... 110 minutes and no overheating message or any stutter/lag.
Battery ... I started at 82%, and after 110 minutes, ended up with 46% left.
Anyone else use their Gear VR with the S7 Edge?
Yeah, the 820 is running great.
Yeah, the water cooling is a very under-mentioned feature on this phone. I'm willing to bet Samsung added that just for the Gear VR. Either that, or just in case the 820 had heat issues like the 810 did.
Do you notice the phone is hot during basically any task? On a call? Got pretty warm.. watching a video? warm updating apps ? burning

When I was first setting it up. I did get a pop up message that "Download Booster will be temporary disabled for heat reasons" (not word for word message). But I was restoring, fast charging, transferring files, and etc. Never got that message again, nor any other heat messages. Nor did I feel any real heat from the back. So I'll excuse things that happen during initial setup.
It seems like using the S7 edge while fast charging at the same time, gets it the warmest, but that feels nowhere towards getting overheated.
Yeah I got that message for download booster too initially.... I am coming from my iphone (had the S6 but it melted always) my iphone just doesnt seem to get hot (or maybe the case makes me not notice) where as I didn't expect now on day 2 for this thing to still get hot like during a call... glad it wasn't on my face
From my experience with the Note 4 it really depends on what you're doing. I watched a 2 hour movie no problem. But if you switch between different apps like games to video streaming then the cooling message pops up.
What was your content?

You are right about that. The more I switched from app to app, the quicker my S6 Edge would heat up.
On the S7 Edge, I tried damn near everything that was free. Games like Dreadhalls Demo, Cosmos Warfare, Temple Run VR, Shooting Showdown and etc. Tried all the video viewers like the default viewers, Netflix, Milk VR, and etc.. Tried Jurassic World, Relay Cars, Marvel Avengers and all the free apps listed under concepts. You get the point.
I basically tried to get the overheating message on purpose. But failed.

Its a heatpipe, not water cooling.

It's a little different than just a heat pipe. It does contain a liquid within to increase the efficiency of the heat transfer.

Sure there's some liquid in it, it heats up and turns into a gas and then cools and back into a liquid, but to say that's water cooling is a bit over the top. Every aftermarket heatsink uses heatpipes but no one says "i watercool my pc with this thermalright heatsink".
Teardowns reveal no liquid (distilled water, coolant, etc.) in the pipe, it's just a plain copper heatsink. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZU9U72OU5s&t=4m25s)

IF there were actual liquid in the chamber the copper strands would help draw the liquid to the cool end of the metal pipe and recondense it. Because it's not actually liquid or vapor cooling they just act as an extension of the copper piping.

I haven't tried any demanding games so far unless Real Racing 3 is considered demanding. All the games I tired didn't run the phone hot.
4K recording ..... I can't tell, cause I tried most 4K recording in cool weather. But even at room temperature, I haven't noticed any heating.
I would love to hear an in depth review of the S7 Edge with the consumer Gear VR. I currently have Note 4 and had the innovator edition last year but sold it on after a few months. I've the S7 Edge on pre-order and was excited about getting the consumer version bundled with it. I was in a Samsung store today and tried the consumer version they had on display with an S6 attached and I was left a little underwhelmed. It's going back almost a year since I had the Note 4 innovator and despite my delight at being able to wear my glasses with the new version the FOV certainly seemed reduced and I could detect the edge on the periphery. But it was nothing major though, especially as I'm essentially getting it free of charge.
What I would really like to know though is there much of a trade off with the S7 Edge. I was so torn between getting the standard S7 or the Edge and decided to go with the Edge for the larger screen/battery but if it is significantly inferior to the standard S7 I can change my order. I was reading that John Cormack mentioned on Twitter that the standard S7 would be sharper with less FOV but that the Edge would also possibly bleed light and make it uncomfortable. He later apparently retracted the statement and stated he was thinking of the S6 and not the S7 however other forums don't take him at his word and believe the retraction may have been to do with bolstering the S7 sales. Personally I would rather just hear an honest review from someone that has it in their hands, I've been scouring Youtube and Google but all I ever find are mind numbing unboxing videos and no testing commentary.
If anyone on here has it I would be so grateful for an opinion.

No light bleed that i noticed on the S7 edge.
And the light bleed on the S6 edge was extremely minor, that most would have not noticed unless they were looking for issues.
This is of course with the cover off. I haven't even used the cover yet.
Thats good news and thanks for the reply. Other than the better battery life and performance do you still have a similar fov with the edge, is the screen door effect any different than when you had the S6?
I've gone from Note Edge -> S6 Edge+ -> LG V10 -> S7 Edge.
Here are a few quick photos I took.
Post 2 will have speedtests and Post 3 will be benchmarks.
I wish I had done a speedtest for the V10 last night, but I did not think about it.
All benchmarks done with all other apps closed out and terminated, airplane mode, WiFi off, and 100% screen brightness.
Quadrant (only turned WiFi on at end to get results)
AnTuTu (Graphical tests MUCH MUCH smoother on the S7 Edge / Very choppy on the LG V10)
3DMark (Huge difference in FPS)
Tested it out to see how the "Moisture in Charging Port" warning appears.
Thank you. In your opinion which of the phones did you like the best? What's your pros and cons between note edge, v10, and s7 edge?
I ask as I loved the note edge but mine was on the way out and I jumped to the v10. I love the v10 except I got one that overheats and drains battery like crazy. I have had to swap tie phone out twice but other then that I love the v10.

I use my phone a lot. I got the spare battery + microsd deal for the V10 so it helped. I went through 2 or 3 full batteries a day.
I LOVED the Note Edge. I hope they bring it back and I can use my 3rd T-Mobile JUMP to get that later in the year. I have a problem of getting the newest phone out, so I had to ditch it. Out of all the phones I've owned, If they continued the Note Edge line, I'd continue to buy that line only. It had all the greatness of Samsung in 1 phone. If they made one as nice as the Note 5/S7 builds have been + the right edge panel + S-Pen + MicroSD, I don't see myself ever switching to a new phone except when the newer Note Edge came out.
V10 -
I like:
Screen size
Phone size
Grip
Sturdiness (ruggedness?)
Swappable battery.
I don't like -
I never really used the top screen except to check the time at night and there's some serious light bleed in the corner for the second screen
Build seems solid but the materials are more rugged where the S7 Edge screams premium with all the glossiness and glass.
Rear buttons became annoying to me during certain situations
Camera had lot of features in manual mode, but I still couldn't get photos that looked as good as my previous Samsung phones
S7 Edge -
I like:
PREMIUM build
Much brighter/vivid display
Faster, more efficient (newer, so it's expected)
Wireless charging
Camera photo quality even simply using AUTO mode
Better speakers
Waterproof so I won't be hunched over my phone in the rain to prevent droplets from hitting screen
Brought back MicroSD
I don't like:
Can't remove battery (we'll see how battery life is after a few days)
Sides are really thin so you can accidentally be touching the screen with palm or fingers without knowing
Lots of fingerprints
A lot more scared to drop it compared to the V10
These are my initial impressions.
The note edge was the best phone ever and I am dissapointed they have not done another note edge. I would have held onto mine if it wasn't dieing on me. I appreciate the feedback and keep us update on how they compare as you use the s7 edge.

I had the same issue recently - see my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/moisture-detected-t3328011
I didn't get back quick charging after the phone dried. Can you tell me how your phone behaved after the warning?

After I got that message, I unplugged it and set it on top of my wireless charger for about 30 minutes. I plugged it back into the phone and it showed "FAST CHARGING" and charged fine.

Interesting. Seems getting the warning is normal, and it should go away after phone dries. My phone just never dried completely, but that may just be my luck.
Good to know, thanks for sharing.
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.

Planning to buy Samsung S7 edge, how is it? need some suggestions before buying.
I just bought S7 Edge today coming from Note 4 N910C and I can say it is really a very good phone. Worth the upgrade
Depends on your current phone but honestly is the best phone I've had the chance to play with. Nothing to complain about here!
What kind of suggestions do you need?
I think it's a great phone. The only other phones I'd consider right now are the htc 10 and the Nexus 6p. I consider the S7 Edge, for my needs and wants, to be better than either. Your needs and wants may be different.
One suggestion: get a case. I've never used cases before, but the S7 is very slippery, and very fragile. I'm using a thin, clear TPU case just to provide better grip, and at least a little protection.
I think this smartphone has everything that you need in a smartphone. Firstly the design of S7 Edge gives you the slimmest feel in your hand without trading off the extra large screen size. Secondly, it's water resistant up to 30 minutes in a depth of 1.5 meters or below. So, I personally suggest you to go for Samsung Edge S7 which happens to be the Best smartphone in 2016

Haha, it's good to see you here again, I upgraded to the edge as well. I worked with you on N4 MM twrp backup if you remember. Anyway, I agree, it is definely worth the upgrade, even though I kinda miss spen.
Best phone out right now. Ditched iphone 6 plus.
