Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge review: Striking curved design makes this the S6 to crave
Editors' note (March 28, 2017): Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus, the follow ups to 2016's excellent Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. Priced at $750 (£689 and AU$1,199), the Galaxy S8 features a beautifully curved 5.8-inch screen with an ultra-narrow bezel; facial recognition as an alternative way to unlock the phone; and Samsung's nascent Bixby voice assistant. The S8 Plus costs a bit more -- $850, £779 or AU$1349 -- and comes equipped with a larger body and battery, but is otherwise identical.
Samsung's striking, high-end Galaxy S6 Edge has the beauty, brains and brawn to take down the iPhone 6 and all the Android competition.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge's wraparound screen transforms an already great phone into Samsung's best-looking handset; Ever.
That supercool design comes with a big price tag, and the screen doesn't deliver any real killer apps; Like the regular S6, the Edge doesn't support swappable batteries or expandable storage.
