Just dropped by the Galaxy Experience Store on Prince street in New York City. All the assistants were toting GS6 or GS6 Edges. Got to look at them both, and LOVED them. The Edge by far had the edge (clears throat) - felt absolutely tiny in hand compared to my Note Edge, and looked drop-dead. If you're in town, I'd definitely recommend dropping by. They even hinted the Sprint edition was already in stock with them ?? AT&T hopefully by launch date of 11 April. Counting down the days...

Awesome question - i really liked the blue shimmer on the black one, the green emerald I think might have to get my vote though. I'd also say the S6 Edge felt significantly smaller/better in-hand than the regular S6....

I did try that, didn't see any lag. In fact, didn't get any lag whatsoever in my brief time with it. Silky smooth. Of course, my Note Edge started silky smooth and then went downhill a bit, so that could just be the newness of the unit!

Thanks! It's so frustrating looking for a new phone. Had a note 4 that i sold after several months of use out of frustration. Recent apps lag, animation stutters, etc. Have a z3 now which is so darn smooth, but camera is mediocre. Hoping S6 can get best of both worlds
I had the chance to hold the new s6 in my hands a couple of days ago at a store in my country and I have to say it really is an amazingly good looking phone from all aspects. No lag or stutter. Premium quality materials. In white it is not a fingerprint magnet at all. I think I'm in love. I really like my note 4 but the s6 is in a different level. The only thing that is holding me back from getting one is that I need to see some proper battery tests with a finalized firmware. Cheers.

Did the smaller screen size compared to the note 4 bother you at all?
To be honest, just a bit. But I am willing to downgrade on the screen size. Moreover, having instant access to accessories like waterproof case and battery case is a big deal for me. With note it is almost impossible to have that.

I see. It's a bit of a concern as I'll be coming from a 5.5" screen and the 4.96" minus on-screen buttons Nexus 5 display seems a bit tiny now.
Please make the wait go away.

Thinking about taking a train to NYC on Monday Evening to check the edge out. I live just a trip ride away so it's not an issue. My only gripe is that I only have 850 budget.. I want the 64GB edge...

I was basically all set on the Edge until I went to see the S6 in store. I have esentially completely changed my mind and am going for the regular S6 now. Don't get me wrong, the edge is cool and the engineering behind it is phenomenal but I found issues with the ergonomics and that combined with the additional cost makes the regular S6 feel like the better buy to me.

Thanks for that, my one biggest concern about the Edge. I can make a trip to NYC by train or bus in about 1 hour but Best Buy will have them the end of next week. What am I going to do anyways since they will not be released till the 10th so I probably will not go into the city. It will make the wait even more excruciating to get my hands on the one I end up wanting to own and I really will have enough time to decide when Best Buy gets them.

Aha...see, precisely why I went for the white version...fingerprint smudges are much less visible than on the other versions. Coming from a Note 4 (black) as well. I'm very sure I will adapt in no time to the smaller screen. Counting the days until April 10th!
Just a question for people with this with a handset already, have you had a chance to play with google cardboard using the s6? I'm curious how the higher PPI performs!

Got my (regular) S6 yesterday and found time to put in my Cardboard this morning. The experience is a little better than expected, but still not earth shattering.
I had a OnePlus One (5.5 inch FHD) before and that worked okay. You could definately see the space between the pixels. I woulnd't say it it was like looking through a screendoor, but you could certainly see the grid.
With the S6 it's certainly improved a lot, but you do still see a grid. It's far less noticable though and it's a lot easier to get that feeling of immersion. You will still see you're looking at a screen though, the higher PPI just makes you forget about it sooner.
What I noticed with the S6 and didn't really notice with the OnePlus One is that there is a tiny, tiny delay between moving your head and the screen actually moving. I don't know why that is. I think it's because the resolution is now less of an issue, you notice other things like this sooner, but I am unable to confirm that in any way. I'm just telling you what I saw.
All in all the experience of Cardboard is certainly better with the higher PPI display, but if you come from a regular FHD display I don't think the difference is really that big.
I don't know if the Edge offers any advantages. I'm inclined to think it'll impact the experience in a negative way.
Edit: if you want me to test something, please let me know.
I'm having issues with the location of the magnet button for the s6, the button being on the left or right side doesn't work for me, it has to be on the top or bottom of the cardboard if that makes sense.

I originally thought the magnet button would only work with with a Nexus device so I threw it out... so unfortunately I'm unable to comment on this, haha. I'm always tapping the screen through the underside of cardboard.
A friend of mine recently got a more expensive sort of Cardboard with better lenses and a headmount. I'm considering to get it. It was like 50 bucks or something, a lot cheaper than the Gear VR and with the S6 I think it'll be a really fun experiene. I'm still doubting as I hope Project Morpheus will soon get a releasedate. Would love to play Project Cars with that.

I have no issues with my magnetic button. Works like charm on the S6 and is located properly for me.
I have a dodocase and it is a huge improvement over my 2013 motox. The only downside I have found is the home button sits right on the cardboard edge when closed and so sometimes it hits it when the case flexes a bit. I have a Colorcross coming tomorrow which has larger fov lenses and headstraps so I am hoping for a better experience. I did notice the VR cinemas aren't drifting with the s6 like they did with my motox.

Where is your magnetic button on your cardboard? I've even tried waving a bare magnet over the top and bottom of my phone with no luck. Do you have the s6 or the s6 edge?

My magnetic button is on the left of the VR, hence on the top of the phone. I have the regular S6.

Thanks so much for the replies guys! I just got caught up with a bunch of threads and lost track of my own! Hehe
In terms of any games on cardboard...is the faster processor making the gaming smoother? Also in videos such as Paul McCartney would you guys say its a noticeable difference from the note 4?. That's really what I'm up in the air about. Either getting an s6 or a note 4. Vr is the main thing I'm interested in with the added bonus of a phone hehe (till oculus or HTC vive release)
I have the s6 as well, but magnet doesnt work at all for me... otherwise really good experience!
[edit - the magnet does work - I didnt realise you had to flick it rather than hold]

EXACTLY the same thing here. I was so nervous it didn't work. Then I just flicked it as I wanted to... Actually I don't know what I wanted to do with that.
Then it worked... It was just like: "Ohh, come on!"
Ot really is a great thing when using the cardboard app. The only thing I hate is when my phone slips when I don't secure it. Other than that it's really great.

Quick pic of my S7 Edge in my just delivered Spigen S8 Plus case. My S7 Edge Spigen case is to the left of it.

S7 Edge sitting on the S8+
Same width but a little longer and obviously more screen area
thanks for pics i steel feel like s7e to s8 is the way to go... let me upload another example of a case.. ringke fusion
There's a million size comparison images on google...why do we need a thread for this?
they had a demo model of the s8 and s8 plus in my local phone store, the s8 + its about half a cm taller than the s7 edge

How does it feel in hand? I think I've held the S7 edge and that felt like a nice size - given that the S8+ is the same width I feel like that would be a reason to change from my S8 (albeit £90 for a marginal bit of extra screen and battery is difficult to reconcile).
PS - what store - I might head to Samsung on Oxford St. if they have it.

feels brilliant and looks amazing! being slightly taller yr thumb invariably has to reach further up so there is an element of having to slide the phone downwards in yr palm to get yr thumb to the top. the screen just dominates!
they had both @ the three store in chiswick.
three are usually good with having live demo phones generally in even their small stores (unlike vodafone who i am with). So maybe pop into a local three store. o2 had one on show too a few doors up.
the small size looks good and yeas £90 is a hefty price between the two.
Just an update for those who might find it useful - I went in to the Samsung store and spent an hour with both devices (I wanted to leave with a clear decision of S8 or S8+).
I have 'normal' (!) sized hands I guess and I found the S8 to be a perfect size - easy to get across the device. The S8+ I had problems reaching the other side of the keyboard - this is my key decision maker test; can I text easily (using swipe) - on the S8+ when trying to reach across I was hitting the bottom corner keys with my palm.
So I went with the S8 right... wrong! I actually have both now on order - unfortunately I'll get my S8+ late. But it gives me a little more time to decide.
Why I think I will stick with the S8+ is because I enjoyed the screen increase from my S3 to my Axon 7. The S8 feels lovely but I think the screen running things in normal 16:9 proportion feels like I'm getting less.
The S8+ felt a bit big but I think as I don't have a tablet device I would soon yearn for a bigger screen. Decisions, decisions!
Hope that helps people on the fence with some more things to think about.
As a side - I don't feel the fingerprint sensor is that much of a pain. Easily accessible on the S8 but I do have to adjust my hand position on the S8+.
Worth noting that I tried the devices without any of the security casing on them. Just not back to back.
I handled a live S8 and S8+ today. Let me tell you, the S8+ is humongously big. There is no way I am replacing my S7 Edge with the S8+, maybe with the S8 (which is actually very close in size with the S7 Edge) but then I would lose a lot of battery size which really bugs me. So right now I don't know what to do...I think I will stay with my S7 Edge for a bit more, maybe I can find a non-Samsung alternative.

There was news of the new larger in screen scanner with 17x the scanning area. This turns out not to be true. It will be same as s10 series. Not a big deal to me because I have mastered the one on my s10+, but some folks will not like that.

Probably registering the same finger multiple times.
As someone upgrading from the S8, will I really notice a difference? I've heard mixed reviews on Samsung's under-display finger print scanner.

Yes, i've had the s7/s8 and s9 and they were much better than the s10, night and day difference. However i recently got rid of the original screen protector and went with the bestbuy clearplex one and its much better imo. But still not as good as the older finger print scanners.

Sensor has been great for me. The biggest tip I can give is to register your primary finger twice. It works wonders.

Have you tried adding the primary finger you used twice? I've owned almost every s-series phone and note since the note 5 and I feel like this is on of the most consistent scanners I have used.

I would if i could but i already used up the 4 available slots, i use 4 primary fingers to unlock the phone lol
I have really dry hands so it really gives me issues recognizing my finger prints, all my past s7, s8, note 8 all worked perfectly, but I really despise the S10s reader
I register both thumbs twice from natural holding position.
1st left thumb one handed natural hold
2nd left thumb 2 handed natural hold(straight up and down)
One handed is an angle.
Key is USE YOUR THUMBS
Also follow the guide animated fingerprint and do the part of your thumb that gets filled in. Its literally instant for me. I can do a short video to show. Now with amazon "Tamoria" brand uv tempered glass(identical to whitestone except no tray, just use a level surface. But 50$ vs 15$ is a no brainer. She also allows for learning curve if you mess up and honestly say how you messed up. Best customer service ever!
Anyway...... with that on, you have to hold thumb on for 1 second then pull away.
With factory protector, naked, and iq shield(and zagg) type protectors- do not hold thumb on until unlock. Put finger on and release quickly- thats it. Hold it on longer when registering of course.
I am going to make videos. I am letting the old lady have my s10+ and I got a new Tamoria glass UV protector for it and will record the install when I get my s20 ultra, and also I will record protector and non protector fingerprint register and use after register. Just give me a week until I get my new phone plz. I am happy to help and hope I do help people to see that this is superior(slightly) and faster than the old fingerprint scanners.
There are so many misleading videos, tutorials, and reviews on this and none of them have it quite right.

I cancelled my jump a long time ago. Their prices for down payments + the monthly jump cost no longer justifies itself.
That's disappointing. Note 10 plus scanner sucks imo. Prefer above screen then
I just put in my pre-order for the S7+, 128gb wifi only. Samsung does not have any accessories on it's web site yet but looking at the YouTube reviews so far I see the keyboard case. I have the OEM bookcase on my S4, anyone know if Sammy will have the bookcase for the S7+?
I just saw that Amazon has listed the Fintie case in two colors for the Plus. Pretty inexpensive compared to what Sammie normally charges. I also saw that Skinomi is now listing their screen protector for sale with delivery the end of the month. Starting to sound like we might not have to wait that long to get the Plus in our hands.
According to Tom's guides here are the US prices for the OEM covers:
You'll spend $199 (Tab S7) or $229 (Tab S7 Plus) for the Book Cover Keyboards, and $69 (Tab S7) and $79 (Tab S7 Plus) for the Book Cover cases.
I just picked up the Neepanda Case on Amazon for under $10. Not sure why anyone would want to pay so much more for the Samsung OEM bookcase.

fwiw, the green I received is much darker than pictured. I like it.

Does the fingerprint sensor work with that glass? Not that it matters much, rather have protection than the fingerprint security.

Why would they create a case where the s-pen is exposed like that and also can't get a charge?

IKR? It's redonkulous. A conspiracy-minded person might be inclined to believe Samsung wants us to lose our pens!
I have a Spigen Rugged Armor case for my Tab S6

Any luck finding anything like this? I've only seen the cases with the separate front plate and they are huge!

And if you store the pen using the silo inside the case to not lose it then it doesn't charge! So dumb.
Poetic has just released a case for the s7+. The one that turns the side firing speakers to front facing.

That's why I ordered two extra pens from Samsung. I anticipate loosing the pens.

Thanks, I like the sound channeling feature. Seems bulky though and no stand. I guess there is no perfect case.
Tried so many cases from Amazon. None is worth it. I know the book cover case from Samsung is overpriced but it's still by far the best. I wish Samsung retained the same design as that of the Tab S6 but this case is certainty inferior.
I originally had the Samsung book cover with keyboard and returned it, not worth it for the price even at the 50% off. I received this one 2 days ago and so far its great especially for the price. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F2BJHFH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_iJbDFbGE214F9
