I agree, I didn't like Samsung phones for years but this is really interesting. New screen, toned down touch wiz, and NEW FEATURES THAT ARE ACTUALLY USEFULLY. Samsung stepped games up in a big way. Sorry for the ones that needed the micro sim slot and removeable battery, but maybe it will come in the s6 active
***** I did but its too generic. When you look at the note 4 you'll probably know its just any other Samsung phone but this my friend..this one's on a whole other level!
I can't deny it, but Samsung has finally did it. They made a device that has peaked my interest. The S6 Edge is a damn good phone, that theme @13:20 actually made Touchwiz look nice when he pulled down the notification shade; Touchwiz is I thought I would never say this lag free. Samsung currently holds the crown for 2015 with the S6 Edge. Great review *****
MegaFit3 Hakkis64 -When I went to Best Buy to see it, more people waiting to use the new Edge. But I just read they put in orders for more. I think the new Edge is going to do better than the s6. I like the feel of the Edge more than the other one. Very comfortable.
I originally pre-ordered the Galaxy S6. After 2 days of seeing how much crazier people were going over the S6 Edge, I caved and decided to spend the extra $100. It just looks so sexy!
I just have 1 question. Do I now need a Curved Glass Screen Protector now to use the "edge" feature and protect the screen? Hahah cause ain't nobody wanna get that baby scratched up.
No battery is quite decent it lasts the day depending on how much you use but what people dont realize is even if you do need to charge the phone its lightening quick charge. Amazing phone with good battery with quicker battery charge than most phones if not all phones plus wireless charge capability ;)
Amazing Review !!! I just ordered mine - 128GB platinum gold S6 Edge.. This is going to be my first Android Smartphone... First well made phone by samsung and it looks just so gorgeous, cant wait to get my hands on it !!! . Good Bye to Apple !!...
Wooo smart stay and palm swipe capture are still there! Those are my favourite features and I was worried they got axed. Definitely looking forward to buying this phone now.
One thing I appreciate about the S6 is that it didn't make the screen larger. If they kept enlarging the screen like the other flagships, everyone would have tablets in their hands by 2017!
Great review, very insightful. I may be a little late but i finally ordered it yesterday and i like to shorten the annoying waiting time by watching reviews ;D
I'm definitely getting the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. I was undecided at first but it truly impressed me when I used it at a T-Mobile store. Not to mention watching this great and honest review.
I've seen a lot of video/review of the galaxy S6 Edge this is far the best review. I'm not a big samsung fan, you make me want to get that phone now. Great job
+JOWEE BOIE how long does it last? The micro us. Charging thing is broken though so I'm gonna have to buy a wireless charger and idk how I'm gonna get a power bank lol
+GameBrosTMT imma heavy user. fb. twitter. skype. kakao. so from the morning's full charge would typically last me till after lunch time. and to think i have a lot of disabled apps already. still drains rather fast. powerbank is an absolute must for #Edge users imo...
definitely :D am not even a samsong fan but damn this phone is a win for samsong . i never imagined i would ever say this like 2 weeks ago since the note 4 was laggy as hell.
after 2 years of use, had some downfalls but managed and is still going strong. Contract finishing soon and so will this phone for me. Next will be S8+, oh boy am i excited! Samsung is shaping the future of smart phones and im proud to be part of it.
I saw this phone in person today for the first time at Best Buy. It is a beautiful phone. However, I just purchased a NOTE 4 and don't feel like getting an S6 would be an upgrade. The NOTE 4 is a beast and I'm keeping it!
Jaceri2K Top 10 you can keep a phone for up to 2.5 years and it will still be an up to date phone, but if you really want to get a new one, you can have it, its perfectly ok. I think the best phone on the market at the momment is the s6 edge, but you can wait for the g4 or for the note 5, as the g3 and note 4 were the best when they came out
I have the lg G3 as well. If u don't mind off screen buttons and samsung's skinned software then it is a great choice. But if u do mind, wait for the lg G4, because rumors say that it may have a 3-4k display.
I had the note 3 and nexus 6 and I told myself I would never go back to a smaller screen. I used the m9 for two weeks and ended up selling it. Now I'm picking up the s6 edge tomorrow and I can't wait. I'm actually stoke. Even if it is a smaller screen size!
Ryan Origin Yeah it's costly but totally worth it because the Galaxy S6 Edge is the best designed smartphone by a long shot (better than the iPhone 6) and is the most technologically advanced smartphone. I'm coming from the iPhone 5s and bought the Galaxy S6 Edge. 100% worth it.
Great review. I just preordered the 128GB version of the S6 Edge. I'm coming from the LG G3. I've had issues with the G3 on Verizon. Since I know I'll be asked, the G3 does not give metadata when streaming via Bluetooth in the car, the screen has to be turned to full brightness when in sunlight which causes excessive battery drain. The G3's screen is not even as bright as the S6. I can't wait to receive my new S6.
Watched a lot of review videos trying to see if this is my next phone or not and I will say this is one of the best review I watched. Top 3, Great Job man.
Awesome review! I have an iPhone 5s and have my upgrade due and I'm really impressed with the S6 edge! Even more so after using one. Just debating whether it's worth waiting to see what Apple has to bring this year because I wasn't really impressed with the iPhone 6 at all
Hahahaha I loved the whole batman/matrix sound theme going on in the background :D next time add more dramatic/cinematic shots of the phone to complement the sound. And also standing up and speaking helps improve the quality of the video as well and keeps the viewer interested. Move around a little maybe? I'm saying all this because I know what you've been trying to do :D and I love your enthusiasm! I just want to help. Loved the review! Take inspiration from Top Gear! Do what they do but make it your own and you'll be golden! You're almost there :D PEACE!
Excellent review. Mine arrived today (thanks T-Mo!) and I love it so far. It's a great phone, and the screen and camera are both especially outstanding.
Samsung has put much thought into this phone, and they deserve to be awarded. I have owned both android phones and IPhones. I'm hoping I can get the S6 or the S6 edge this year. What's confusing to me though is since when did a two year old phone be labeled as "ancient"? If someone has an S4, iPhone 5, why do we criticize their "dinosaurs"? Technology is rapidly improving so I can understand some of this, but if a phone still works perfectly for someone, why criticize them?
Every review I watch says they dont know why someone would want to face their phone down, but I cant wait to get this phone, I face my phone down all the time, when Im having dinner with my parents or im in class, or at work. I always have my phone face down cause people are nosy and always trying to look at your phone to see whos calling, so i will definitely use the edge lighting!
Wow! This was a great review! Thank you! After watching this I think im going to go for the S6 rather than the Edge. The Edge is really cool & unique, but watching this review made me realise that I prolly won't get much use out of it. I only really wanted it because of the little light notification thing it has going on lol. But I doubt I'd put my phone face down. Im super excited this phone is amazing! Can't wait to get mine!!
I have seen a few reviewers comment on, "not wanting to put the phone face down". Placing the phone face down used to automagically put the phone on mute. Is that not the case any longer? It would make a lot more sense to have the edge illuminate if the phone also auto-muted.
Well I'm sold. I was leaning more toward this over the M9 anyway (the M9 has added bulk and I don't like the shape), but this video alone has convinced me to dismiss its sibling and alternatives.
Sorry, a lack of expandable storage is always going to be a deal breaker for me. I have a lot of use for expandable storage. It's just way more convenient for me. It's a shame too, it's so beautiful.
First time commenting on a review because this review is just simply awesome and a really complete one with the main features or basically everything of S6 Egde. It is simply a stunning phone among the available one from the other companies', I was keep holding my back to get one before the latest one from LG and Sony would come out until I watched this video which strengthen my mind to get this soon. Great job Samsung and thumb up for Lanh.
I would bet that Samsung will release an update later on that will make this phone act more like a galaxy note edge. This phone is just awesome though and this video doesn't do the display justice because it really is gorgeous!
Very well and comprehensive covered for a review. The details are overwhelming for an enthusiasts like me. Now i have a better insight before i make decision between LG G2 curve or S6 edge. Thanks!
*Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge review: the edge is here to stay*

The background music made the review that much better!
Where,s Josh
Win👍
shakti kumar at home, where else would he be?
I'll be going to my local credit union to take out a loan to buy one...
Great review Lawn! I know how much time you put into this one, and it shows. Awesome.
*Lanh :P
and i completely agree with you cabin :D JK
It doesn't matter haha
Kavin, get your shit together!
(sic) And before anyone points it out, it was intended.
I'll have to admit, I love the design and this is probably the first Samsung phone I actually like.
Same here
I agree, I didn't like Samsung phones for years but this is really interesting. New screen, toned down touch wiz, and NEW FEATURES THAT ARE ACTUALLY USEFULLY. Samsung stepped games up in a big way.

Gautham Arun Yeah bro. I bought the Galaxy S6 Edge!
Gautham Arun Nice
I can't deny it, but Samsung has finally did it. They made a device that has peaked my interest.

That dark theme caught my attention too.
Daniela Okafor that shit looked nice.
I Finn haha.. I hate neon colors too
Same here..I've never been a fan of Samsung but the S6 edge is on my must have list.
ya! that theme!
exynos 7*420*
blazing fast
I see what you did there

LMAO I just got it.. 👽
Ricardo Dinis Haha nice!
Ricardo Dinis Nice. I get it now hahaahaha
Ricardo Dinis Nice catch!
Just bought my S6 Edge, excited!
+riKringkast well. come back soon then.
What color did you get
+Clash of clans with Michael Gold, duh;)
haleigh :_I love gold colour and going to buy gold colour s6 edge this Saturday and its for 230 pound and its look like brand new ...
Lanh reviews are the best, keep it up brother !
*cough cough* joshua *cough cough*
I agree. That josh dude just try's way to hard to sound smrt. Try hard i say!!
anas khaldoun I agree. This is the best review of the Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge I've seen so far. Much better than Josh Vegara's review.
anas khaldoun BEST REVIEW EVER!
anas khaldoun Agree. best review ever!
I think s6 edge is going to sell more than regular s6
Highly doubt it. The s6 edge is facing supply issues and will be shipped in lesser quantity than the regular s6
Probadly yes. It just looks so different
MegaFit3 Hakkis64 -When I went to Best Buy to see it, more people waiting to use the new Edge. But I just read they put in orders for more. I think the new Edge is going to do better than the s6. I like the feel of the Edge more than the other one. Very comfortable.

Mani +1. Samsung is actually tripling the production of the Galaxy S6 Edge :-)
This is an outstanding review. And, I've seen them all!
I been waiting for this review, hopefully this carry over to the note 5!
Gin-san !
I just have 1 question.
Do I now need a Curved Glass Screen Protector now to use the "edge" feature and protect the screen?
Hahah cause ain't nobody wanna get that baby scratched up.
....have you seen how scratch resistant screens have become? It may not need it..just short of dragging wood working nails or screws on it!
the iPhone 6 doesn't use gorilla glass 4, hence the scratching
Screen protectors no longer necessary. That's why you only see less intelligent people using them. Makes the phone look really tacky IMO.
MHKM :P The Galaxy S6 Edge is the most technologically advanced smartphone in the world.
***** thats funny the iPhone 6 doesn't have gorilla glass haha!
Watching this on my new s6 edge ;)
+Naqash Khan It has been one month by now, how satisfied are you with this phone this far?
Really satisfied still superb phone in all areas
Naqash Khan nice! that has settled it, I will get one right away. Thanks for the info!
+Naqash Khan does the battery die fast because that s what people are saying??
No battery is quite decent it lasts the day depending on how much you use but what people dont realize is even if you do need to charge the phone its lightening quick charge.
Amazing phone with good battery with quicker battery charge than most phones if not all phones plus wireless charge capability ;)
S6 Edge > S6
Hey whats the best home screen layout?
Amazing Review !!! I just ordered mine - 128GB platinum gold S6 Edge.. This is going to be my first Android Smartphone... First well made phone by samsung and it looks just so gorgeous, cant wait to get my hands on it !!! . Good Bye to Apple !!...
the best phone review I've ever seen so far. i like how this video shows a sample videos of the phone's camera. great job!!
Wooo smart stay and palm swipe capture are still there! Those are my favourite features and I was worried they got axed. Definitely looking forward to buying this phone now.
One thing I appreciate about the S6 is that it didn't make the screen larger. If they kept enlarging the screen like the other flagships, everyone would have tablets in their hands by 2017!
Hello from 2022 lol
Getting mine in the next few hours 😀😀😀
jealous
😭😭😭😭 i want it i hate U why why I'm in Saudi Arabia and I'm looking forward to buy the edge can u tell me if u got it how is the phone
Abdulsalm I know the feeling been waiting since the announcment
Thanks man i hope u enjoy it I'm happy for u what is the color your going to take
Abdulsalm Ahmed Just got it like 10 minutes ago. And I went with White 64GB
the music in the background made the video seem so elegant! great video man!!
Most solid review I've seen, thanks!
This is the best review, full one, on the S6 Edge up till now. You have answered many questions as well as thrown light on new features practically.
I had an iPhone 6 64gb, but I decided to give it to my mom and get a S6 edge. Ordered it yesterday.
Great review, very insightful. I may be a little late but i finally ordered it yesterday and i like to shorten the annoying waiting time by watching reviews ;D
That dramatic music in the background is so annoying.
It's EPIC
Rehan Khan ENTIRELY PROBLEMATIC IN CONTRAST.
Couldn't agree more
Agree 100%
I actually really liked the epic music.
I'm definitely getting the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. I was undecided at first but it truly impressed me when I used it at a T-Mobile store. Not to mention watching this great and honest review.
Excellent review definitely.
I've seen a lot of video/review of the galaxy S6 Edge this is far the best review. I'm not a big samsung fan, you make me want to get that phone now. Great job
i now have one in my hands. its...gorgeous!
I'm getting one from a friend for free! Do you like yours?
+GameBrosTMT free??? lucky. a bit griping about battery life. i carry a powerbank now to assurance...
+JOWEE BOIE how long does it last? The micro us. Charging thing is broken though so I'm gonna have to buy a wireless charger and idk how I'm gonna get a power bank lol
+GameBrosTMT imma heavy user. fb. twitter. skype. kakao. so from the morning's full charge would typically last me till after lunch time. and to think i have a lot of disabled apps already. still drains rather fast. powerbank is an absolute must for #Edge users imo...
JOWEE BOIE Do you think the charger port could be fixed
This is where the bezel less display era start
Is it a worth upgrade coming from S4?
Seems like it. This thing sounds like a good upgrade over the s5 too.
If you aren't worried about removable storage and battery like a lot of people, hell yeah.
Jason Stroman yup. just short of a fucking flip phone! Two years old... Wow. I can hardly remember those days! Flashback!!!
definitely :D am not even a samsong fan but damn this phone is a win for samsong . i never imagined i would ever say this like 2 weeks ago since the note 4 was laggy as hell.
Of course!!!
Wonderful review Lanh
This phone is so good looking that everyone looked pass being able to get a screen protector
The information stream and people edge are probably the coolest updates on the S6 Edge, as far as usability goes. Great review.
somebody get tech source up in here, this man has his headphones on his desk!
after 2 years of use, had some downfalls but managed and is still going strong. Contract finishing soon and so will this phone for me. Next will be S8+, oh boy am i excited! Samsung is shaping the future of smart phones and im proud to be part of it.
Thinking of getting this one...
By far the most informative, concise, and professional review of a gadget ever. I was hooked from start to finish. SUBd
Background music doesn't really make sense?
I saw this phone in person today for the first time at Best Buy. It is a beautiful phone. However, I just purchased a NOTE 4 and don't feel like getting an S6 would be an upgrade. The NOTE 4 is a beast and I'm keeping it!
Should I switch to the s 6 edge if I have a LG G3
your phone is still quite recent, so I would say you should give your phone another year, but if you are tired of it, yes
Ricardo Dinis I just heard g4 coming out soon and I like to stay up to date with my phone
Jaceri2K Top 10 you can keep a phone for up to 2.5 years and it will still be an up to date phone, but if you really want to get a new one, you can have it, its perfectly ok. I think the best phone on the market at the momment is the s6 edge, but you can wait for the g4 or for the note 5, as the g3 and note 4 were the best when they came out
thats what am thinking and yes i have the g3 but damn this phone is pretty and powefull. lets see what lg brings and see the deference.
I have the lg G3 as well. If u don't mind off screen buttons and samsung's skinned software then it is a great choice. But if u do mind, wait for the lg G4, because rumors say that it may have a 3-4k display.
Congratulations man! That's your best review until now.
So...when can I get an edge in emerald :/
It's nice that you mentioned how it feels good swiping from the side on Android 5.0. It really looks cool even in videos.
Im thinking about getting this phone! Should I ???
What you choosing between ??
+Eric White i was thinking between this one or iphone 6s. i have the iphone 5c at the moment and I kinda wanted to change to samsung ...
Well do you if you want to change I was going to recommend the galaxy in the first place
+Eric White haha sweet
Good luck bro hopefully I can get one for my birthday later on today
This S6 edge curve screen really Top, and this style definitely here to stay for sure!
I can confirm that this phone steals iphone users. My uncle is an apple fanboy, but he`s getting this phone
That was one of the best video reviews I've seen in a while, looking forward to more from Lanh
Omg its so Beautiful i want it !
I had the note 3 and nexus 6 and I told myself I would never go back to a smaller screen. I used the m9 for two weeks and ended up selling it. Now I'm picking up the s6 edge tomorrow and I can't wait. I'm actually stoke. Even if it is a smaller screen size!
kid: I want to be like an iPhone screen!
mom: why?
kid: Because I would be shattered to pieces

Ur life mut be so boring kid

I'm digging the background music, Lanh. Pretty badass for a badass phone and review.
Worst background music EVER for a review
It's not a movie..
Can't wait to get this beauty next month
Man, this phone cost almost half of my income for a month. But I will buy it anw.
Maybe it's time to get a better job?lol
Bo Vorachack Nah i just graduate college with a shitty job. Maybe some day I can dream of buying Apple 10k watch lol.
Ryan Origin dream bigger, a 30k rolex.:)
Ryan Origin Yeah it's costly but totally worth it because the Galaxy S6 Edge is the best designed smartphone by a long shot (better than the iPhone 6) and is the most technologically advanced smartphone. I'm coming from the iPhone 5s and bought the Galaxy S6 Edge.
100% worth it.
It's $200 w/ a 2yr contract from Best Buy
Best review yet. Loved it man. Kinda wish I waited for the s6 but I'm good with my opo for right now :)
Honestly, I haven't thought about any other phone except the S6 Edge. I'm becoming a fan of Samsung again. They finally did it this year!
The best detailed Samsung Edge review so far :) Great job man
I just received the the S6 edge a few days ago, and so far I love it. I upgraded from a galaxy S4 which I liked, but this is way better!
I'm subscribing😊 I love how you explain your reviews😊
Wow. A very professionally assembled video!! Very enjoyable to watch.
Great vid man! Didn't know that about the keyboard. Learn something new every video.
Awesome video! Definitely made me rethink about getting the edge vs the flat screen version
Great review. I just preordered the 128GB version of the S6 Edge. I'm coming from the LG G3. I've had issues with the G3 on Verizon. Since I know I'll be asked, the G3 does not give metadata when streaming via Bluetooth in the car, the screen has to be turned to full brightness when in sunlight which causes excessive battery drain. The G3's screen is not even as bright as the S6. I can't wait to receive my new S6.
Watched a lot of review videos trying to see if this is my next phone or not and I will say this is one of the best review I watched. Top 3, Great Job man.
Great review hit almost everything you can think of on the device. Keep up the good work Android Authority.
Has for me, I went with the Edge too. Can't wait for it to arrive. Great video!👍👍
Awesome review! I have an iPhone 5s and have my upgrade due and I'm really impressed with the S6 edge! Even more so after using one. Just debating whether it's worth waiting to see what Apple has to bring this year because I wasn't really impressed with the iPhone 6 at all
Hahahaha I loved the whole batman/matrix sound theme going on in the background :D next time add more dramatic/cinematic shots of the phone to complement the sound. And also standing up and speaking helps improve the quality of the video as well and keeps the viewer interested. Move around a little maybe? I'm saying all this because I know what you've been trying to do :D and I love your enthusiasm! I just want to help.
Loved the review! Take inspiration from Top Gear! Do what they do but make it your own and you'll be golden! You're almost there :D PEACE!
That swiping effect looks so sweet. I can't wait until the demo units comes in at best buy.
So better. Loved the review. Almost touched everything & devoting so much time is the actual way to get it done. Bravo brother *applauding*
Subscribing to Android Authority because of this super review. Awesome
Excellent review. Mine arrived today (thanks T-Mo!) and I love it so far. It's a great phone, and the screen and camera are both especially outstanding.
I am a samsung lover, right now I own a s4. Cannot wait to get my hands on a s6, maybe the edge. Great phones
By far, the greatest review by Lanh! Keep up the good work, man!
Excellent review Lanh. Keep up the good work!
Great review! Very professionnal but not annoying, good image quality and a lot of information. Good job Lanh!
This is honestly the best comprehensive review I've seen online
I like the 6 EDGE in emerald green. Great review!!!
What a fantastic review. I don't need to watch other reviews of this phone after this review. Awesome.
Samsung has put much thought into this phone, and they deserve to be awarded. I have owned both android phones and IPhones. I'm hoping I can get the S6 or the S6 edge this year. What's confusing to me though is since when did a two year old phone be labeled as "ancient"? If someone has an S4, iPhone 5, why do we criticize their "dinosaurs"? Technology is rapidly improving so I can understand some of this, but if a phone still works perfectly for someone, why criticize them?
I have to say this is one of the best device reviews I've ever seen. Great job! It makes me want this phone even more.
That was a really really good review Lawn keep it up !
Great review, fully detailed. Nice conclusion. Better review than all the other guys. Great job!!!
Every review I watch says they dont know why someone would want to face their phone down, but I cant wait to get this phone, I face my phone down all the time, when Im having dinner with my parents or im in class, or at work. I always have my phone face down cause people are nosy and always trying to look at your phone to see whos calling, so i will definitely use the edge lighting!
Wow! This was a great review! Thank you!
After watching this I think im going to go for the S6 rather than the Edge. The Edge is really cool & unique, but watching this review made me realise that I prolly won't get much use out of it. I only really wanted it because of the little light notification thing it has going on lol. But I doubt I'd put my phone face down.
Im super excited this phone is amazing! Can't wait to get mine!!
Personally, I like your reviews more than the other guys on Android Authority.
I have seen a few reviewers comment on, "not wanting to put the phone face down". Placing the phone face down used to automagically put the phone on mute. Is that not the case any longer? It would make a lot more sense to have the edge illuminate if the phone also auto-muted.
Great review, great job by Android Authority. Keep it up.
Just preordered mine! Cant wait to receive it.
Awesome review and nice background music :D
Well I'm sold. I was leaning more toward this over the M9 anyway (the M9 has added bulk and I don't like the shape), but this video alone has convinced me to dismiss its sibling and alternatives.
Sorry, a lack of expandable storage is always going to be a deal breaker for me. I have a lot of use for expandable storage. It's just way more convenient for me. It's a shame too, it's so beautiful.
First time commenting on a review because this review is just simply awesome and a really complete one with the main features or basically everything of S6 Egde. It is simply a stunning phone among the available one from the other companies', I was keep holding my back to get one before the latest one from LG and Sony would come out until I watched this video which strengthen my mind to get this soon. Great job Samsung and thumb up for Lanh.
I would bet that Samsung will release an update later on that will make this phone act more like a galaxy note edge. This phone is just awesome though and this video doesn't do the display justice because it really is gorgeous!
Excellent review. Give this guy more flagship reviews
Very well and comprehensive covered for a review. The details are overwhelming for an enthusiasts like me.
Now i have a better insight before i make decision between LG G2 curve or S6 edge.
Thanks!
i was surprised you reviewed this high end device!! good review
Honestly, one of the best reviews I've ever watched - not only for the S6 Edge, but one of the best reviews ever. In my opinion, of course. ;)
