S6 Edge+ or Note Edge? - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have a note 4, and looking to get a backup phone. I like the idea about the edge screens, but can't decide between the two phones. Even though the S6 edge+ doesn't have MicroSD card support and removable battery, the idea of two edge screens have my interest. So I am indecisive. Any opinions would be welcome! Thanks guys!

S6 edge.
The note edge is so much more expensive, at least on my carrier.

if you care about paying with your phone at stores (Samsung pay), get s6 edge+.
if you like to have 2 screen at the same time, Main and Edge screen display at the same time, get NoteEdge.

Note 4 or Note Edge

Hi Guys,
Just wanted to know which one of the Note's you will desire to buy?
I personally like Note Edge. But what's up to you guys. Let's Discuss here.
Note edge for me.
Sent from Galaxy Note 3 (The beauty & beast)
Note edge is something special. So cute.
note edge is a gimmick without real use that will be dropped in upgrades faster than htc desire.
note 4 is not a worthy upgrade, so note 5 or maybe next curved LG if they finally do it right
As the owner of Samsung Galaxy Note 2 I will buy..... Note 3. No need to rush and buy Note 4 which will be very pricey. If we compare Note 3 with Note 4 we have the same battery, the same amount of RAM and internal storage. For those who are confused between Note 4 and Note Edge I would suggest Note 4.
I need to see more video on the note 4 and note edge to make a decision. I may just by the LG G3 and wait till next year note 5
I'm very curious about the note edge... but I'm kinda worried about the extra width of the device, the Note 3 is already pushing it for me being able to fit into my pocket... an extra 4mm of width might not work for me. I'm excited the note 4 is a bit less wide than the note 3, although a tiny bit thicker as that might be perfect for me.
I really like the idea of the edge though... I just wish it wasn't at the expense of form factor, heck I'd even compromise a slightly smaller main screen
the note 4 is 5.7 inches, and the note edge is 5.6, but you get some more pixels with the edge 2560x1600 vs 2560x1440.
I'd really like to see the devices side by side to really know if I'd want it.
If the note edge comes out later than the note 4, i probably won't be able to wait
I'm tempted to buy the Edge just so my iPhone co-workers can drool..but then again the Note 4 would be more practical for me. Oh and that metal frame is so so sexaaayy. Note 4 for me.

This resumed perfectly my feelings. The Note 4 does not seem worthy at all!! But the Note Edge as a "gimmick" might entertain me until the next best thing... I had a Note 2, then a Note 3 from Day 1 release, and I am sooo bored i need something new and innovative! I guess I will keep on waiting for the next AOSP device.
Note 4
Im really curious how the note edge performs in drop tests and scratches in the pocket without flip cover.
Also the notifications that are displayed in the edge works better for me because it wont interrupt me while im fighting in jungle heat and therefore ill not lose the battle.
Note 4 specs > note edge .. just for the specs I think I will go for the note 4 no matter how badly I want something different

I have an Galaxy 3 and I am out of contract. Never had experience with Note series before! Would Note 4 be a good upgrade for me? I need 5.5" or above.
Of the two, the Note Edge has my greater interest. However, as a current HTC One owner, speaker quality is important and I don't believe either device step up to that mark.
Note 4 should have been called note 3s...not much innovation there.
Other than processor, camera and 64 GB int storage same thing.. Right down to the ugly leather look battery cover.
Same size screen and the device is wider and taller? Going backwards there.
Edge is much more interesting to me for sure.

What's the difference between Note 4 and Note Edge?
I thought the only difference is the Screen with edge feature. Is there anything else that makes Note 4 better than Note Edge?

Nor really better unless you want to play VR game.
The edge has that gimmick/innovation screen with a bit more pixel.
decision will be based on if I wanna show off or playing VR. [emoji8]
Note Edge uses plastic for the bezel according to videos online.
Edit: this may be rumor mongering...I saw MKBHDs video and he said metal also. Now im confused.

S6 edge vs note 4

Hi guys
My father bought an galaxy s6 edge and told me that if I wanted to have it he would change it with my note 4,I don't know what to do is the change worth it or should I keep my phone ?
My phone is rooted I won't root the s6 edge
If you are having to ask then my 1st assumption is that you do not have any use for the larger screen and SPen? So I would say yes, go ahead and swap

Not really both phone have there pros and cons the I'm not using the s-pen that much but I love the screen because I watch all my series and movies from my phone. I will probably keep my phone but another question performance is not that much different with both phones or?

A friend of mine has a S6 Edge, and it is a bit faster than the Note 4, but not by much.
Its certainly not enough to swap. His Note 4 was stolen at gunpoint during an attempted carjacking. He got the S6 Edge to try out while waiting for the Note5, but he is hating the S6 Edge battery life, he says it is rubbish compare to what his Note 4 could achieve.
Is your Note 4 lagging? If so, maybe try do a hard reset, see how you feel after that then decide.
IMO, the Note 4 is a far better allround device than the S6 Edge.

S6 is way faster to open apps and smoothness seems to be better. I suppose game will be a lot better on S6.
On the other side, S6 has a RAM managment problem and apps in background are killed agressively by the system. Battery life is also far better on the Note 4.

Thanks for both of your answers I will probably stick with my note 4. It is not laggy I'm really satisfied with it's performance. One last question it is not an important aspect for me only asking out of curiosity the camera of the s6 edge is a little bit better then the note 4 right?

Yep. Camera in the S6 Edge is a step better than the Note 4, although they both use the same IMX240 Sensor.
Sent from my GALAXY Note 4 via Tapatalk
Night shot will be significantly better on S6 but in good light both are comparable.
Note that camera software is better on S6 with RAW support and more manual control.

Are you gonna upgrade Note 5 to Galaxy S7?

Just a quick survey to find out if and why
No. Only things better on S7 is IP68 and microSD slot. It will be great to see this in N6.
For the moment for me N5 is better than S7
Nope, none of the new features are a must have for me
Sent from my SM-N9208 using Tapatalk
I just switched to Note5 and can attest that , for me, it's way better because of :
- Better screen (size, quality and power consumption)
- Faster and better battery life
- I definitely prefer samsung bloarware

How is Marshmellow treating you?
It's a marketing strategy game, nothing is so that amazing with the S7/edge just few upgrades to the S6 which were on the S5, they are bringing back the old features to attract customers, and thats gonna happen to the note 6, micro sd, bigger battery capacity and maybe IP68
Nope. S pen and screen size. Will wait for Note 6

No problem keeping my Note 5 till we see what's new with the Note 6.

It's a better experience and no problems so far.
I wonder how it will evolve with googymax goodness
That's a downgrade to me, bigger screen, S-Pen, possibly better battery life and such. Sticking with N5 until N6.

You call it 'upgrade'.
I call it 'downgrade' tbh...
I will stay with note 5, upgarded from s6 edge... nothing new in s7 only sd and waterproof that exist already in sony devices. You will say camera? Camera in my note 5 is great and i dont need a new one.

Yep Note 5 camera stand tall, nothing to be ashamed off. i would like to test the S7 Edge personally to see how camera perform in low light, then probably wait for Note 6 as it will have 4000mah at least.
No
I ordered an S7 edge, but keeping my note 5 too.
I am looking forward to the smaller screen in the S7 - I am not a huge fan of large phones though. Water resistance is also something I will use, so that's welcome.

Do you guys have any guess as to how battery of s7 edge will compare to note 5 (aside from saying it's 20% bigger)? Coming from s6 they did some black magic to note 5 battery
Sent from my SM-N920V using XDA Free mobile app
Going to the S7 Edge because of the change to the Snapdragon processor. Should mean universal Rom support with AOSP & Cyanogen based development.
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk
Yep switching to the S7 Edge for the snapdragon and hopes for asop and roms.
I absolutely love my Note 5 but that S7 edge is damn sexy. I'm really tempted but I think I'll try and wait for the Note 6.
Unfair poll, if it was a note 6 vs our beloved note 5 with outstanding features built in the upcoming note, our votes would be mixed then. I don't see much added value in switching to a lower powered version of my phone. Without a pen.

S7 Edge or Note 5?

I want to know that does edge screen really matter or not? Should I consider the edge (almost same in size as Note 5 is) better than Note 5?
As far I have knowledge, it is worth to own a S Pen instead of focusing edge panels., but you please give some solid suggestions with solid reason.

You can have the Edge features if you root the Note5.
S-pen is entirely up to you. Some people love it, some never use it. I used it for about a week and never touched it again.

I would recommend you S7 Edge. I own both and I have to say that the s7 edge has a far better battery. It can give me 2 days while note 5 cannot give even 1 full day. Also, waterproofness and micro sd is a huge plus for me.
i bet s7e
I have both and while I love the S-Pen for me the addition of being waterproof and having the Micro SD slot override it. If The Note 6 is waterproof (not likely) and has Micro SD capability all bets are off.

It's the S-Pen that really makes the difference on the Note series and that, unfortunately, can't be ported.

I have S7 Edge Exynos, planning to upgrade to S8+, worth it?

Hey guys, i have owned S7e for a year now, i won aj auction on Ebay for Arcric Silver S8+, guess how much?, $755!!, I haven't paid for it just yet, thought i should take some opinions first. So from S7e to S8+, is it worth the upgrade? Especially in terms of Battery life?
I have both, so is it worth it?:
from battery POV: a little
from a Design POV: yes
from a performance POV: a little (CPU is absolutely the same, GPU is a lot better->I am talking about the Exynos variant here, the RAM in my s8 is slower than the one in my s7!, but UFS 2.1 storage is noticeably faster in s8)
from a camera POV: just minimally better
from a Software POV: looks better, but lags\skipped frames as in s7 software (plus you can flash s8 rom in s7 so that's not a reason)
Note: Most protective cases for the s8 make it impossibly unpractical for you to use the fingerprint reader (placement which is very annoying anyway, much,much worse than s7)

Always had that in mind, buy the S8+ and sell S7E, especially because my S7e is Single SIM
I just upgraded the same scenario as you. I say go for it and sell the other. It's worth it. But if you plan to root make sure it's not the Snapdragon model.

Yes its a much better device and it would be worth updating if just for the bigger screen.
Just make sure you get the exynos S8 NOT the crappy locked down snapdragon.
