Phone is exactly as advertised, right down to the photos!
This phone is amazing and for $310 it can't be beat in both value and quality. Aside from the Sim tray (which I promptly replaced), the S6 Edge had absolutely no flaws. Not even the slightest scratch, nick, or crack was found.
The phone wasn't reset, nor did I bother to since I noticed the Verizon bloatware and didn't want to tempt fate by locking the phone into the Verizon activation menu. It's unlocked, for sure, as I was able to activate my Net 10 Sim on it with ease. This puts me on the At&t network at the moment. Service works flawlessly on this phone.
Cameras are excellent, with the 5MP "selfie" camera capturing high quality pics and videos. The 16MP rear camera takes Clear hi-res pictures and videos, perfect for most settings. The home button can be programmed to start the camera with a quick double press. Editing features definitely make capturing and uploading photos a breeze. Love the Share features as well.
The screen size (at 5.1 inches) is perfect for me. I'm not a fan of phablets, they're awkward and bulky (in terms of length and width) whereas the S6 Edge is sleek in every way. This phone is very thin, so even a decent protector would make the phone less than a half inch thick. Love the heft of the phone as well, it's in no way flimsy or cheap, really dense for its ergonomics. The touch screen is excellent regarding input, no lags whatsoever.
Battery life will always fluctuate depending on usage. I've ranged from 15 hours with moderate usage (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) to 6 hours (97% battery usage) of intensive use (games like CSR2). Light usage gave me as high as 34 hours. All in all, I've never charged my phone more than 3 times a day (when gaming) and average 2 charges with moderate use. I typically find myself recharging once a day. Quick charge feature is great, works best when the phone is off but will still charge in under 2 hours under moderate use.
Android 6 (Marshmallow) is excellent. That plus Samsung's mods to the OS have rendered my apps for my Droid 3 obsolete, which I'm glad to see. No more flashlight, data management, power saving apps to bother with!
I've had this phone for exactly a month now and can say that I love it. I'm a qwerty keyboard kinda guy, so I will buy a Bluetooth keyboard I've been eyeing. However, I've got my eye on the S7 Edge given my satisfaction with the Edge features, look, and feel. So I may get the keyboard case for the S7 Edge Instead. Swype and other downloadable keyboards work great on this phone anyway. My last Galaxy phone was a low-end version from Boost Mobile back in 2011, which I promptly upgraded to the Droid 3. I've kept my eye on the Galaxy line and am glad to finally get an S6 Edge. Looking forward to the upgrade later on. 5 stars.Read full review
