Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge?

[ibcop]

Read somewhere that they letterbox pictures and videos so there's no wrapping around the curve.

This would make sense. No one would want the top and bottom to wrap around.

Edge because I like the Note Edge and feel that the curved screen adds value. I would also move to the S6 Edge because I feel that having an Edge screen on both sides would better balance the phone. My only concern is to whether or not they would make glass screen protectors because the only ones available for the Note Edge are film right now.

If one is released, that's icing on the cake. I would imagine it would be tough to manufacturer with the small edges and not damage them. And shipping would be costly as you'd have to have a molded piece there too.

I don't think there'll be tempered glass for the S6 Edge. However, I have the Zagg Invisible Shield on my Note Edge and it looks and feels really good. You can barely tell it's there.

For the GS6, Otterbox has announced the Commuter, Defender and Symmetry. So far, nothing yet for the GS6 Edge.

If I can have the green I'll get the Edge if not then I'll go black Standard model.

Not on their site that I see. You under NDA on it? Definite possibility, they don't even look that bulky.

Which one will you be buying and why?

Neither, there is no microSD card slot.

Yeah, I know, I'm thinking more along the lines of full-screen games, a lot of them place UI elements along the top and bottom edge of the screen (in landscape mode that would land on the curved parts). Yeah, they'll be visible from the front, but how usable will they be since they're sitting on that curve? I'm not interested in finding out by experimentation, I have a feeling it won't be as clean to use as a flat screen.

This is my concern as well. Also look at the reflections from the curve in that photo. I just feel like buying the edge is like chopping off a good 0.5 cm from both sides of your phone. Also several reviewers who have actually handled the phones say the edge is LESS comfortable to hold. I just really don't like it. I hope that Samsung keeps the regular flat screens as an option for their flagship devices.

I just read an article and I'm curious as to why Samsung put the "touch focus" camera feature on the S6 Edge and not the S6.

Samsung probably wants to sell more Edge devices than the S6.

That's interesting. Appears to be the Edge for me.

I'm undecided. I think the Edge looks nicer but I'm not sure how much more expensive it's going to be.

If the price gap between the two is too much, I'll get the regular S6.

What is this touch focus feature you are referring to?

I've been looking all over, but to no avail. I would have to imagine it's a feature that is executed via the "edge" of the device, otherwise I don't see why it wouldn't be incorporated in the S6. If anyone has an idea let us know.

 

[OceanView]

It's gonna depend on the difference in price but at this point I'm leaning toward the S6.
Just don't see the usefulness of the edge.

Wished y'all had of done a Poll on this subject.
Would like to know more about what everybody might do.
I can tell just about everybody wants one. But which one.
Does one do more than the other one.
