I was torn between the two phones. Went to Best Buy and played with both for a good 30 minutes. My impressions were that:
While off - the S6 Edge was stunning. The screen was off and you can see the bend of both sides. Very cool and looks great.
While on - The screen was great on home screen but when I used some functions like the browser and went on webpages, I felt that the edge on the sides were a little distracting and might be a detriment if I would look at the screen for an extended period of time. Though other apps like settings, S health were fine and I have to say that when using camera, the edge screen was actually favorable and I appreciated the curve.
I really want to get the Edge because it is the only phone in the world that has this such design but at the same time I am worried that the edge curves would take away from the experience and that I might get irritated after a month always look at things at an edge angle.
I am already impressed with how the 2560x1440 display looks in person on the regular S6 so should I take the conservative route and go with that?
If anything I am fairly certain my color will be Gold Platinum so maybe that would be flashy enough?
How are other users experiencing this? Am I being too sensitive regarding this edge screen and maybe it doesn't have that much of an effect when one gets used to it?
If you have had ample time with both the S6 and the S6 edge, please share your thoughts!
