Samsung's new Galaxy S6 edge+ comes with a big 5.7" curved display


Earlier this year, Samsung announced the Galaxy S6 and boy was it a crowd pleaser. Not only did it impress the general crowd, Samsung's pair of flagship android devices managed to win the hearts of many reviewers. During today's special Unpacked event, Samsung not only announced the successor to their popular Galaxy Note lineup but they also unveiled somewhat of a Galaxy Note Edge successor.

Called the Galaxy S6 edge+, as the name suggests, this new device is a "plus" of the original Galaxy S6 edge which came with a 5.1" curved display on both sides. Just think of the Galaxy S6 edge+ as a bigger and more advanced Galaxy S6 edge. Sure it has a bigger 5.7" QHD AMOLED display but Samsung didn't only just increased the size of the display, they improved the original device in terms of the hardware and also the added software features.


In terms of design, Samsung has kept everything similar to the regular S6 edge and from a distant, the new S6 edge+ looks just like a bigger S6 edge. This also means that the S6 edge+ comes with a glass back with a subtly curved metal frame to reinforce the device. Don't worry too much about the durability of the Galaxy S6 edge+ as it comes with Corning's Gorilla Glass 4

S6 Edge form factor with Note 5 specifications
Just like the Galaxy Note 5, the new S6 Edge+ will come with Samsung's new Exynos processor which is paired up with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM. Also identical is the 5.7" 1440 x 2560 AMOLED display but the one present here is curved on both sides. Beyond that, the device also comes with 32/64GB of non-expandable memory, a 16MP rear camera, a 5MP front facing camera and a decently sized 3,000 mAh battery.

Galaxy S6 edge+ specifications

  • 5.7" Quad HD AMOLED display
  • 2.1GHz Exynos 7420 processor
  • 4GB RAM
  • 16MP f1.9 camera
  • 5MP front facing camera 
  • 32/64/128GB
  • Android 5.1 Lollipop
  • 3,000mAh battery + wireless charging
  • 153.2 x 6.1 x 7.6mm (171g)

But specs aside, the Galaxy S6 edge+ isn't all about the hardware performance, similar to the Galaxy S6 edge and outgoing Galaxy Note edge, this new curved screened phablet from Samsung is all about the software enhancements. Similar to on the Galaxy Note 5, the Galaxy S6 edge+ also come with a new livestreaming application and specific to the S6 edge+ is a brand new App edge launcher which enables users to customize applications and contacts for quick launching.

Besides all the hardware and software enhancements, Samsung is also getting ready quite a number of accessories which are uniquely different. Sure there will be the usual plethora of cases but Samsung is also readying a keyboard cover, yes you heard me right. The Galaxy S6 edge+ will feature an optional physical qwerty keyboard case.

Overall, the Galaxy S6 edge+ looks like a pretty solid device and while it does not come with an S Pen, this should make choosing between the Note 5 and S6 edge+ a little easier as both devices are targeted at a slightly different cloud. Samsung will start offering the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ in Malaysia in early September but there's no word on pricing yet.

Take a closer look at Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 edge+


It's no secret that Samsung is pushing the launch of the Galaxy Note 5 forward just to get a headstart at Apple's forthcoming iPhone 6S which will be arriving in September. While we have seen quite a lot about the Galaxy Note 5, these new images paint a full picture as to how the device stacks up against the iPhone 6 Plus.

As expected the Galaxy Note 5 will feature a similar design scheme like on the Galaxy S6 announced this year and it's curvier companion, the Galaxy S6 edge+ is basically just a enlarged Galaxy S6 edge. Both devices will come with 5.7" QHD AMOLED display and is powered by Samsung's new octa core Exynos processor which is just as powerful as the Snapdragon 810 CPU from qualcomm.

But beyond the improved hardware, these two devices look alike from the metal frame to the glass build all around, Samsung is replicating the design of the Galaxy S6. These images also shows the new push-lock S Pen on the Galaxy Note 5 and if you're expecting to see a microSD card or removable battery on either these devices, you will be disappointed.

There is also an image below comparing the Galaxy S6 Edge+ with the iPhone 6 Plus and while the former has a 5.7" display, it still looks more compact than the iPhone 6 Plus which has a slightly smaller 5.5" display. Besides these newfound images of Samsung's upcoming flagship devices, there's also a new thread on reddit which confirms a lot of information about both the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+.

Again, Samsung will be unveiling both these devices during a special Unpacked event this Thursday (August 13) and the only thing that we're yet to know is the price and the software features. The Galaxy Note 5 is expected to arrive in Malaysia by September 5 with a price of RM 2,999 for the base 32GB model.

Samsung Rep came to my retail location and I had a brief time with the two upcoming Samsung devices.
Some quick takeaways:
Overall shape of the Note 5 (to me) felt better in hand. The tapered back really "shrunk" the size down once in hand.
Super Amoled display looked great, especially on the curved screen of the S 6 Edge +.
Note 5 RAM (I know this is a hot topic with S6 users right now) was about at about 50% available after booting up the phone (according to smart manager).
I know it's been reported already, and some people who saw the press renders were hoping they saw an SD slot, but no. No external SD slots on either device.
Note users hoping we would see double the storage on base model, will be saddened to hear that it's 32gb at the base model. :(
6 Edge + has Apps Edge (like the Note Edge!). Swipe in once from the right and Apps Edge comes up, Swipe in again and it switches to people edge.
Double Click the home button for camera works on both.
Comparing it to my iPhone 6+ the Note 5 was slightly thicker, but it was both shorter in height and narrower in width and featured much better weight distribution. (iPhone 6+ feels awkwardly top heavy in comparison).
Note 5 S-Pen does in-fact use a push to pop mechanism.
Initially the cameras looked identical, however Note 5 was slightly brighter (probably negligible, but just passing along what I saw).
The devices I used were unbranded running on non-final software.
If I had to make a choice between the two on the spot, it would probably be the Note 5 because of how nice it felt in hand. It's not easy to make a HUGE phone not so huge in your hands. The 6 Edge+ display is drool worthy, but the hard edges digging into my palms wasn't my thing.
