Any feedback on s6 edge screen longevity? Seem like white line like to appear after some time

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..
I'm standing before choosing to buy S6 or S6 Edge.
The question is simple - do We have any infos, predictions, SOMETHING how will look and work CM on curved screen of S6 Edge?
I understand that some (or even MOST) features will not work (is obvious at this point) but how will screen work?
Are curved screen part of main screen or are they separate (like 3 standalone displays)?
In simple words: is it ONE BIG CURVED screen or one flat and two curved mini screens?
This is just a S6 screen with modified screen edges, but the edges are part of the screen and not separated which means the S6 Edge doesn't need special or extra work compared to the S6 if that's what you want to know.

Thanks for info. Well, I asked this question because I realised that curved screen may stop working after flashing CM (after it will be published for users) - I mean that main part will work and edges will not (they will be blank or something).
That's not logic at all, this curved screen works like any other screen.
It's literally a flat screen with bent edges. So yes, it is 1 screen.
I got all answers - tread can be closed.
Hello, I currently own a Galaxy S6 Edge, the black Sapphire one. The problem is that the screen is way too yellowish for me on white backgrounds, I did a comparison with my fiancee's HTC M8 and the difference is terrible.
I used to have some RGB sliders to caliber the screen the way I like on my previous phones. Isn't there any way to do the same on the S6 Edge to fix this ? (I'm rooted).
And BTW I don't want to use any screen filters as it decreases performance, i want real settings.
Thanks in advance
Have you set the screen to AMOLED photo? That should calibrate it to the right settings.
It's even more yellow with the photo mode :/
Bump, no ideas ?

The screen on the S6(E) is pretty darn accurate. Odds are the M8 is likely the inaccurate display and giving a bluish hue to the white instead of how white actually should appear. If you compare your phone and your fiancee's phone to a display that's accurately calibrated, you'll see how close to being accurate the display on your phone is. Also here is the review from Anandtech showing similar results in their display test.

Most people are not used to having calibrated screens and therefore, view the bluish white as the correct white when the correct color temperature of white is more on the warmer side. Also screen filters such as Chainfire's CF.Lumen have very little if not zero performance reduction when running in root mode and they allow you to customize the temperatures for day/night/sleep mode with many options.
Edit*
Here is Anandtech's review of the display on the Galaxy S6(E). While there are small variances from display to display, unless you have a defective unit, I highly doubt there's more than a 5% difference between what you have and the review unit.

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
Hello
I bought my tab s7 plus 2 weeks ago, and today i noticed that my screen have some strange vertical banding? I can See it on grey background, for example in chrome. Is IT normal?
Normal as no screen is perfect. If you consider it acceptable or not is up to you.
Always check the screen of any device when you receive it. Also, use it for a few hours to let the screen settle just to make sure. If it bothers you, exchange it.
Keep in mind the bigger the screen, the higher chance for imperfections. That's why your phone, most likely, has a more uniform screen than your tablet.

I used to have this on my Tab S6 also. But it was only visible on gray backgrounds.
