Note 4 edge or the galaxy s6 edge? I really can't decide which one to get. I was wondering could you give me a little advice.
It depends on what you are after. If the curved glass is the biggest draw, I would go with the Note 4 Edge. The Note uses a separate but seamless screen for the curved edge and the Note has better curved screen functionality and curves more. The S6 edge is only slightly curved and just uses the main screen. This is a problem since there isnt any room to put apps on the GS6 edge. Also the GS6 edge screen notifications use the entire screen. This means functions like night clock light the entire screen with its backlight (like looking at a black wallpaper with the phone on). The Note 4 keeps the main screen off during edge only functions. Not to mention the Note 4 Edge still supports an sd card and removable battery and the battery life is great. The only real con of the Note 4 Edge is the plastic back and the asymetrical form.
With all that said, I have a Galaxy S6 Edge and I love it. It looks amazing and is fantastic to hold. I am not a fan of plastic at all and the metal and glass really compliment each other. I wanted the latest internal specs and this being Samsung's jump into 64 bit and built in wireless charging, I decided to upgrade from my Optimus G. Since money wasnt a big factor to me, i decided on the Edge over the regular. I decided not to get the Note 4 Edge since its too big for me and still more expensive than the GS6E. That beautiful, beautiful curved screen is the main reason I got it.
So it depends on what you value. If its visual appeal and newer hardware, get the S6 Edge. If you want a bigger phone with better removable and better battery/sd card and actually want to use the edge screen instead of just looking at it, get the Note 4 Edge. Hope that helps.
Also I think this is the wrong forum. You should post to general and not accessories.

I really liked the thought of the night clock until I saw it light up the entire screen. However the sports ticker that uses the same curved portion only lights up the text and not the whole screen. So it can be done, just I think they need to fix it or something.
I have both and like stated above it's just what you want out of the phone. The note edge is a beast and I prefer it over the s6 edge for functionality. One thing I don't like about the s6 edge is I find myself barely touching the other edge and messing up a lot of texts where I don't have that issue with the note edge. But the s6 edge is such a great looking phone and performance wise it's better. Also the camera is a beast by a little. Maybe it's because it's new but I've been using the s6 edge a little more because if the feel in hand. I am a little disappointed in the lack of the edge usage on the s6 but it makes sense because of the screen size.
Generally,both are the ultimate phone and could meet all your daily use, it depends on if you're a fan of big screen.
If you can't wait,go for galaxy s6 edge,sleek design and superb specs.. I have S6 Edge and it's worth it..
Hey guys,
purchased an S6 Edge (SAMG925, european/international model) yesteday and I was surprised to find something I can only describe as a dotted pattern inside the screen. At first I thought maybe it had something to do with the screen/glass technology, but the more I think about it, the less sense it makes. I can only see it on bright backgrounds, for example while surfing or at the standard, green/blue background. It looks like three really, really small dots running diagonally up to the right. These three dots are all over the screen and it looks like they're almost forming a pattern. I literally have them everywhere, but make no mistake, this isn't scratches or just some random defect with the screen. It looks like they're meant to be there. I double checked with a display model in the store I bought it in and that one had the same "issue". I can only see these dots if I look put the phone up really close to my eyes and if I actually look for them. I've asked two others of my friends and both of them could see them easily after looking for a couple of seconds. Now, daily, this isn't an issue, but I was considering picking up the Gear VR for the S6 and I cannot imagine it WON'T pose a problem once you get up close with the lenses the Gear VR provides.
Anyway, question time: Are there anyone out there that has noticed the same thing? Or are your S6 Edge display flawless and free from a 3-dot pattern? :/
Capactive sensors more than likely for the touchscreen.
Post a picture, please.
I tried getting a photo of it, but I wasn't too successful. Got one that works, I guess. It appears to be sort of a surface-problem. It looks like grease, or even dust, but I know for certain that it isn't. I took a picture of my phone while reading my own post. If you look above the "d", you should see the first anamoly on the screen, then three more in a diagonal line. There's also a dot over the last y in yesterday, but that one is more unclear and harder to see. :/ Hope I'm not seeing things here and that someone else can confirm it looks weird. I cleaned my screen before taking this picture, btw.
I know what you are describing, mine is the same. It is so uniform in pattern that it has to be something to do with the gorilla glass or the touchscreen itself.
Mine had the same issue. But after 3 days they are no longer noticeables. Give them a few days and check again
My s6 edge is waay dimmer than my note 4 normal?
Same Issue
I picked up the s6 edge on the 10th and am noticing that same problem 4 days later for a premium smart phone that boasts it's screen being one of the best around, this is kind of annoying to see this issue.

Mine has slowly gone away, or at least not as visible as it was at first.

Yes, I had this concern as well. As another user in another thread mentioned that the S6 on high goes up to roughly 450 nits, but in outdoors or in direct sunlight can go up to a crazy 750 nits which is much brighter than the Note 4. I have the Note4 and S6E. I put a flashlight to the front sensors on the Edge and that think got extremely bright, almost made my note 4 (on manual high) seem like it was on medium in comparison lol. It sucked at first, but then I realized when am I ever going to need it that bright indoors, and if i'm outdoors it will automatically kick it up to eye scorching bright!
I'm hoping mine does also. I love the device but having that surprise was kind offsetting.

Same here but mine is more like cloudiness or under-screen scratches, not dots. I noticed while scrolling on white backgrounds in any app.
The streaks are just the camera lens taking in light. Look closely at the center of each pic and above the word "UPDATE" in the Google News page.
I have the same problem dotted pattern inside the screen, i had to replace the s6 edge 3 times and they all have the same f**** problem.

I've given up on the issue as every s6 edge ive seen is like this. Even after having the phone since launch the issue hasn't gone away. I think it is caused by the digitizer having to use a different method because traditional ones do not work on curved screens? Haven't got a chance to compair to a note edfe but I wonder if it had the same issue.
Is this one of those things that can only be seen if it's pointed out and then it can be unseen?
My screen looks flawless...
Sorry in advance if this has already been covered but I searched extensively on Google and this forum.
Basically, I'd like to dull the touch sensitivity on the curved edges of the S6 Edge. I keep inadvertently selecting things. This happens a lot when I'm using the phone with one hand.
I love the phone and it's design but I only got it for the aesthetic quality of looking like a cool phone, not the functional aspect of the edge.
Glad you asked this question. I'd like to do the same (reduce sensitivity at the edge)
Questions belong in Q&A, not General.
Thank you.

Hello, did you ever find a solution for this? I've been looking for the same exact thing (lighten the sensitivity right at the edge).
As you mentioned, it is especially bad when using the phone with just one hand. Whenever I stretch my thumb across to press the screen on the opposite side, I ALWAYS click the screen with one of the fingers gripping the phone. It's quite annoying.
If it matter mine is rooted
Thank you.

Thats why I got the S6 regular. The edges are so useless.

Hi all, I broke my phone's screen. I keep hearing that this model's screen is different and I need this exact model to replace it. Is that true? I looked around and what they sell is a s6 Edge plus screen with no extra details. Would any screen work? I want to change the whole screen assembly since the broken glass is touching the screen. Thanks
hi guys, i have two halos on the 2 sides of the screen...like the s7 edge. i know that on the s7 edge was normal because of curve screen, but is it normal on s9+?
the photo is taken from another site, but represents the problem
