Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus 32GB

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ review

With more memory and excellent battery life the Galaxy S6 Edge+ is a powerful phone and a great choice if you want a large screen. However, it's expensive, unwieldy and Samsung has dropped the IR blaster and hardly added anything to the edge screen.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus review

An excellent phone on its own merits, the Edge Plus is unfortunately let down by the fact that it's a little unnecessary compared to its predecessor.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ review

With more memory and excellent battery life the Galaxy S6 Edge+ is a powerful phone and a great choice if you want a large screen. However, it's expensive, unwieldy and Samsung has dropped the IR blaster and hardly added anything to the edge screen. With the regular S6 available for less than £340 it's a no brainer.

"Phone Whore!"

*You may skip* I have had my device for about 8 months now, and I can honestly say this is the longest I have had the same device for that amount of time. Considering, Samsung basically comes out with new phones and features every month.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ review

I usually don't like to use the tired old refrain that Samsung copies a certain manufacturer's plans – but there's something familiar here. A brand releases a top-of-the-line phone, and then decides to make a phablet version by adding a 'Plus' to the end.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ review

A year ago, the conversation about Samsung revolved around design. Or more specifically, the lack of it. Devices such as the Galaxy S5 were technically solid and performed well, but were just plain ugly.

Had the Galaxy S6 Edge+ been released simultaneously with the Galaxy S6 Edge, then it would have been easier to let pass some of its downsides. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, for example, launched at the same time in most regions.

The Galaxy S6 Edge+ shows some of Samsung's best, and worst, tendencies. It's a gorgeous phone with some of the finest hardware available right now, but its key feature is relatively useless, and still somewhat experimental.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ review: Samsung supersizes its sexiest phone's screen -- and price tag

Buy the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ if you love the idea of a wraparound screen; otherwise, you'll be able to find less expensive phones that do nearly as much. Editors' note (March 28, 2017): Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus, the follow ups to 2016's excellent Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. Priced at $750 (£689 and AU$1,199), the Galaxy S8 features a beautifully curved 5.8-inch screen with an ultra-narrow bezel; facial recognition as an alternative way to unlock the phone; and Samsung's nascent Bixby voice assistant. The S8 Plus costs a bit more -- $850, £779 or AU$1349 -- and comes equipped with a larger body and battery, but is otherwise identical.

The Galaxy S6 Edge Plus: Yep, It Certainly Is Bigger

So the word "Plus" could mean many things, right? Better processor? Camera? Features? In the case of the S6 Edge Plus, though, it's just size. This phone is almost an exact copy of this year's S6 Edge except for its whopping 5.7-inch display.
