Anyone else wish they had bought the s6 edge plus instead?

[anon(27512)]

I like the spen but I don't use it much. I'm not really a note taking kind of guy. The spen has come in handy though. I mostly use it to make bomb snapchats lol.

For the first time today I looked at the s6 edge+ (God that's a mouthful). It was really nice. It seemed like it had a better build than the s6 edge but I'm probably wrong. It just felt more solid. And the amoled infinity pool screen was glorious.

Does anyone here have both the note 5 and s6 edge plus? Do you wish you had picked the s6 edge plus over the note5? I kind of do.

The Note 5 is easier to hold because the curves are on the back of the phone instead of the front.

I had both, started with Note 5, then S6 Edge plus, now back to Note 5, Note 5 is just a better phone...

I have both devices in my household and I would have to say that they're both very attractive in their own way. Comfort wise, the N5 is a lot better because of the contoured edges on the back. It feels more natural in your hand, especially while using the S-Pen. I know a handful of people who purchased the N5 and stated that they hardly ever use the S-Pen like yourself. In that case, you guys probably would have been alot happier getting the S6 edge+. You would have the fancy edged glass on both sides to enjoy as well as a slightly thinner phone. But then there is that niche group of people including myself that use the S-Pen to the fullest. I've always been the type who carries a pen and a pocket notebook on their person everyday (even though I have the N5 I still EDC a pen and pocket notebook). So the N5 benefits me quite a bit since I'm already obsessed with note taking and writing. To be honest, there probably hasn't been a day where I didn't use the S-Pen at least a couple times.

Yeah I didn't think about it at the time. I had the s6 edge and didn't like it because the curves made the decent sized screen seem tiny. So I got the note every year like I always do instead of the edge plus. But after playing with one today it seems like it makes better use of the edge and like they don't distort as badly.

I use the s pen way more than I thought I would.

I've been thinking of getting a phone other than note a few times now. I don't use the s pen that much, but when I do, I would have broken someone if the feature was not there. Meaning that it has made my life a lot easier a number of times. From taking convenient notes on the spot to copying text that would not want to be selected unless it was with the s pen.

I would love to get the edge plus because it does look very nice imo, but then I think about life without the s pen. I then become thankful that I have the s pen lol.

 

[bassplayrguy]

No way.

 

[WeAreAllUnique]

I don't really see the benefit of the curved glass over the s-pen.For me personally, the s-pen is where its at. I use it constantly. I had the Note Edge last year and it felt awkward to hold. The Note 5 is just a perfect smartphone in my opinion. It can't be replaced.

Had the s6 edge+ traded it for the note 5. Can be happier

When I first got my note 5 I was kind of envious of my coworker's s6 edge. After I played with it though that envy went away.i mostly liked how it looked, but then the edge threw me off. It's a nice phone though.

I looked at the edge+ didn't really see a lot of use for the edged screen.

Seems a bit gimmicky to me!
