I'd love a new samsung edge!

[callie8]

But the $700 is not in my budget and I'm also not sure about the glass. Seems like the glass edges might be easily chipped. My iPhone is so old I'd just love a new edge and get away from apple. Does anyone know anything about the edge?

Get the S5 instead. S6, though impressive, lacks of waterproof (IP67) and microSD expansion. The Exynos Note 4 is also a must-buy for those who want to switch.

I just saw an as for the 6 edge $950 for the 128gig and no contract tmobil. Not really an option....

Thank you @kage

Yeah the Edge is cool don't get me wrong but i would stay away from it for now. Let it be around for a few months so that they can release new updates and get some stuff fixed. then buy it if you really want it. I have a LG G3 solid phone I love it. The S5 is a awesome phone too.

Agreed with the S5. It wins over the S6 on waterproofing, USB 3.0, microSD expansion and being a low-cost option. Believe me, where I live it costs $460 USD (Exynos-powered version) vs the $930 USD for the regular S6.

Wow that's quite a difference! It will take me many months to save up for it anyhow since it's such an extravagant purchase I'm not about to use savings for that kind of thing but I will eventually want to get one. I'll have to find somewhere I can actually see it on display to try it out when I get closer to buy one

What is it mate?

 

[callie8]

A new phone with slightly curved glass edges that you can have quick access to icons on the edges

@callie8 if your from america go to Best Buy they have them on display. You might be able to find it at any of the phone company stores. Just have to look.

By the way, there might be rumours about low-cost Samsung devices with curved edges and mid-range SoC's. However those don't come out or aren't announced until next year's MWC or something similar.

Thank you @kage and @Sariki lol

I'd love it if they stopped designing phones to be the size of tablets and make one that actually can fit in the palm of my hand without having to use both just to reach across the screen.

 

[Sariki]

@Dee I agree. You have to look at it from a business standpoint though. As technology grows and Tech companies and business in general grows people demand hard hitting and great phones in order to get their job done on the road. Thus you have your notes and that kind of phone.

It's like a blackberry only a hell of a lot bigger lol.

The only Samsung product with aluminium body, decent SoC (Snapdragon 410 64-bit) and 4.5" screen is the Galaxy A3. It costs about $260 USD over here.

I know. I just still hate big phones. Even the size of my Nexus 5 is still rather big, so I'm not terribly used to it. For me, a phone has always been a phone and a way to connect to the internet, but nothing more. I don't watch TV or movies on it, etc. It's business and personal.

 

[Sariki]

Yeah,
They really have changed from 10 years ago. Heck I remember having a razor phone and that was all the rage. So I agree phones have changed so much and they are so big. It's tiresome to keep up with so many of them.

Also add the fact some people with high-end potatoes FROM 2014 (Galaxy S5 and Note 4 being prime examples) want to switch to the S6 without thinking twice about it. The S6 isn't waterproof and relies on internal storage only (similar to the iPhone, there's a budget MediaTek phone which has that disadvantage) so there's really no point on doing that. If someone has an S2 or S3, though, I'd recommend that person the Exynos-powered GN4 instead.
