The thin and beautiful, yet strong device is typified by an expertly crafted frame from premium metal (Aluminum 7000 alloy) and the toughest glass (Gorilla Glass® 4). The S6 Edge Plus demonstrates beautiful form and materials with purposeful technology innovation to deliver true value and usability to consumers.

lm struggling to use it! It is my first S chakuti galaxy phone having used the Galaxy Note version 1 to 5. l couldnt find a Note 6 on my desired colour so l went for the s6 edge. Its a very good phone but there is something missing considering that lm used to the Note range.
l find the edge display very handy though especially at night. One day it banged on the hard surface face down. l picked it up expecting cracked screen like my previous note 4! Every time l think about it now whilst walking, l put it back straight it secure pocket.
Very interesting article you have here but I want to understand why you are reviewing the s6 edge + right now when we have the cutting edge s7 /edge to play with
That cutting edge is not yet in their hands and no telco or tech company in Zim can borrow you one for a review
Why are you reviewing the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge when there is now a recent version of the phone, the S7. Let stale news be.
You can review only what is in your hands to feel the experience and validate your opinion.
Smart move l would say
Had it not been for your comment, in my mind i’m thinking they are reviewing the S7 Edge. Damn. Didn’t that phone come out like a year ago (the S6 Edge Plus?)
It came out last August if memory serves.
