After years of disliking Samsung phones on the whole and having to find things I liked about them, the Galaxy S6 has reversed my opinions. I like the Galaxy S6, so much so that I would buy one with my own money if the need arose.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 is the best Android smartphone , and the S6 Edge is an even prettier version of the Editors' Choice winner. So why doesn't it get the same hearty recommendation?

Standout design; Premium materials; Excellent performance

Expensive; Edge design doesn't bring useful functions

I got this phone on verizon almost two years ago. Its build quality was second to none at the time, solid frame, smooth glass blended in between aluminum framing. Screen resolution is still fantastic, even with newwr phones like the Galaxy S8 now in people's hands.

Great display; Excellent build; Fantastic rear camera; Solid UI; Great internet browsing

Samsung has enjoyed iron-clad control of the Android smartphone market over the past few years, but many people have recently accused the firm of resting on its laurels.

THE GALAXY S6 EDGE will be seen by many as an expensive gimmick given that it's over ￡100 more expensive than the regular Galaxy S6 , while others will see it as Samsung pushing the boundaries of design, and trumping its rivals by bringing something new to the smartphone market.

Taking you to the edge, but it's not as fun as it sounds

Feel and Look I feel excited that I can finally get a phone that nearly suits my liking. First, I believe that this is the best Smartphone that has been made to date. It is so much better than the standard Samsung Galaxy 6 and other Smartphone's I have used.

high perfomance; useful for business

low battery

Not bad,very good smart features and extremely fast charging . The curved features add good looks. Camera has good resolution but needs stability controlled. Gorilla glass is awesome but very slippery which is its own design flaw.

Design From the looks of it, Samsung seems to be listening to its critics and the consumers what with use of newer, arguably better, materials on both the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge. Both the smartphones have all-glass front and back panels with a metal trim running along the edges.
