S6 edge+, Note 5 or iPhone 6 Plus-Which one should i buy?

I already own Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Alpha, so that's why i'm thinking about buying iPhone 6 Plus, but i really like N5 and S6 edge+ ...what do you people think? Which one should i buy, which one would you buy?

I vote Edge+. This phone is simply stunning and a powerhouse. Just got my gold one today! AT&T.

Thanks for your reply, edge+ is probably the one i will buy but i'm not sure yet, it will arrive in stores in a few days so i need to see it in person first, but that's the one i'm betting my money on the most at this moment

You can see it now at Best Buy...it is beautiful. My last 2 phones I stayed away from Samsung with a G3 and Nexus 6...but as soon as I saw the Edge plus I knew I would be buying it. I preordered and pick it up Friday. Can't wait!!!

Nice selection... :good: Got the same, going to pick today.

Just got my Gold Platinum from UPS about an hour ago. Holy freaking &#*^! This phone is so flippin beautiful. I'm in love. Samsung hit a home run with this one. The people that are whining and complaining about not having an SD card slot and removable battery are gonna be sorry they didn't upgrade.

I ordered the 64GB Gold Platinum Edge+!! Can't wait til it gets here!!

I use prepaid Puretalkusa mobile so no need to select color provided by ATT or T-Mobile and hence bought factory unclocked Silver color from ebay whih i wil get on wednesday.I also ordered skins from slickwraps(hero series and metal silver) and I am going to change the look of my phone very 6 months with skins I ordered and why not it looks so damm beautifull.

Get the Note 5, Edge+ is cool and stunning looking but I personally think edge features are not worth the premium price. Give me a S Pen over an edge.

Listen this Edge+ is the best looking phone I have ever had and I've had just about every flagship device over the years (outside of apple) and this phone is the most gorgeous piece of technology I have ever owned. Get the Edge+ you won't regret it!!

wait for 6s

Get the edge plus or wait for the 6S Plus. Both be great phones.

Should I buy the S6 Edge Plus?

I am debating whether or not to buy an unlocked international version of this phone but I do not like all the negative technical issues and battery life issues i see on a lot of forums. I have had android before and would not care to root the phone and flash a better kernel or rom to fix the issues if possible, but I want to know your opinion and also to see if anything has improved recently.
Also if not what phones would you all recommend that is similar to the edge plus?
Thank you,

Then I should probably wait till S7 edge comes out. I will want the newest and I won't have the money till end of next month anyways.

Wait for s7 my s6 edge plus have two months without any problems but at this time I would wait for the s7

NO don't buy s6 Edge Plus. Buy Samsung galaxy S7 Edge Plus instead. should be out in March. just 2 months left.
galaxy S7 should have a bigger battery.

[Q] S7 Edge+

Do you think they will release one this year? Because I don't want to buy the s7 edge and months later a new s7 edge comes out. I have the s6 edge+ now

This would be doubtful.
Last year they released the S6 Edge Plus mostly to appease users in Europe that wouldn't be getting the Note 5. Their records showed that under 20--percent of users in europe the S-Pen and just wanted the Note device for the large form factor. This is mostly why the Edge+ even got made.
This year however, they have decided to release the Edge itself as a larger device. There is no benefit to releasing an S7 edge plus this year. However, we may see a Note 6 and Note 6 Edge. We will be seeing the Note released throughout Europe as well.

What do you mean with that? Do you for fully real THINK that Samsung will release after few months a NEW Edge? Why the freakin' crap should they when they always released their phones once in a year?

I'd say it's unlikely. I feel as if they're only going to release the Note 6 this summer.
Why?
The s7 edge appeals to both s6 edge+ and s6 edge users with a 5.5" screen. If Samsung were to hypothetically make a S7 edge+ it'd have have a ~6.0" screen for product differentiation. On top of that the sales were not that great with the s6 edge+ in comparison to the note 5. Oh and let's not forget that confusing naming convention they're likely trying to oust.

have you ever heard about s6 edge+? it was released shortly after..exactly

I don't think they will... Simply because why make the S7 EDGE is bigger. S6 vs S6 edge were the same size. the S6E+ was larger. What are they going to do make a even bigger one? I don't think they'll do it this time around.

I only discussed this yesterday with someone who said they were waiting for it before updating. I'll put money on Samsung not releasing a plus variant of the S7.

I really can't see it. The Note 7 Edge is 5.5" so unless they plan to take it up to 6" as I said earlier, they won't be releasing an interim device because it has a bigger screen. And 6" for a phone is too much. As for the camera and storage, neither is a reason to bring a new device out before the S8 in the first quarter of next year. The S7 has expandable storage and comes in a 64gb flavour already in some territories. Why bother with 128gb when it can be expanded via the SD slot for far less money? And the camera is already the best on the market at this time.
The S6 Edge+ made sense, as for some the S6 Edge wasn't big enough and they avoided it as a result. That doesn't apply to the S7 Edge. In short, holding off because you have a good enough device in the S6+ is fine and makes sense. But don't do it because you think they will release an interim device less than 6 months down the line, I strongly suspect you will be disappointed.

I don't think a 6" for a phone is too much. Look at the Nexus 6. I bet you money they will release an upgraded version this year

Samsung cater for the majority. And 6" for the majority is too big for a phone. If they do release another device based on the S7 this year it won't be because it has a bigger screen. And I can't think of what else they'd release one for. I'd take that bet.

Yes I have. And no, they will not make an Edge+ because Edge itself has already enough big screen. That would be an 6-inch screen and there is no way in hell that they will make it.

My theory, and I have no real reason to believe this but it's what I'd do.
Samsung's new line-up:
March release:
S7 and S7 edge, we know these
September release:
Note 6 at 5.7"
Note 6 edge at 5.7"-6"
Each primary phone (S or Note) has an edge variant. Serves different customer bases while keeping everyone happy.

Well Dennis, let's say: inside information!
By the way: did the Note 5 have an "Edge"-variant?
The Note 4 didn't either; it was de "Note Edge", NOT "Note 4 Edge"...
So: your statement "each primary phone has an Edge variant" is not correct.
And your theory about the september line-up isn't either...

Note edge was a note 4 with an edge screen.
I never said that last year or the year before Samsung did what I was suggesting they were going to do this year.
I never said this was anything more then a theory, I should have said a guess. It's just that, what I think they will do. Your 'inside' information may be true. I don't know, and I'm not one to claim any special knowledge when I don't have any.

Wondering about this myself, hopefully they don't release a + version because that would suck.

Galaxy s7 or s8?

I have had a samsung galaxy note 3 for about 2 years and it has worn down a lot. Ive been wanting to get an s7 edge, but I've been reading and hearing good things about the galaxy s8. Should I wait the extra 5 or 6 months for the s8, or should I go ahead and get the s7 edge?

go for s7 edge...as a owner of s7e i don't jump to new devices right away until 2-3 months of release until the premium price is reduced, availability of drvs for it and root
- tapatalked - from my VANTABLACK S7 EDGE

Hi,
I really like the S7 Edge however if you can afford to wait I'd wait for the S8, it's just a few months away and when it's released you'll even get a nice price cut on the S7 Edge in case you find it to be a better investment.
If however, you need the phone right now, then go for the S7 Edge, you won't regret your acquisition it's an amazing phone.
All the best,
~Lord

There is pro and cons.
If you buy S7 Edge you are coming to a prepped table with a lot of roms, root and stuff.
You would know what is working and what is not working.
If you buy S8 you have to wait for the release of different stuff, if you are a root guy.

Will be a waiting game for the s8 it may come out later than expected.
I would get the s7e and like other members have said wait a few months after the s8 is released then maybe sell your s7e and get the s8

Note8

I Took The S7 Edge...

I took the S7 Edge in the Note 7 recall, then heard rumor about a discount on the purchase of the S8's when they launched due to all of the trouble concerning the Note 7 recall... Has anyone heard anything following up on this rumor?

I hope so. I did the same thing.

Is the Note 8 not S8 and I think we would have to buy through Samsung. I think we will have to wait and see
