I’m really into the curved edge design that Samsung’s got going on. It took me a while to warm up to it on the Galaxy S6 Edge, but those curved edge garnered so many compliments out in the wild—especially from iPhone users.
On the flip side, the bigger footprint also means that one-handed usage, while manageable, isn’t as comfortable anymore.

Do we even need a larger S6 Edge version? Sure, why not? But I'm not sure we need it right now alongside the Note 5 and only a few months after releasing the S6 Edge and S6.
Samsung's Galaxy S6 Edge Plus features the most beautiful design on the market. Too bad the curved screen is pretty much useless.

Take the Galaxy S6 Edge and make it bigger. That's basically all Samsung did here.

Then we come to its pricing, which makes it even tougher to recommend it over the Galaxy Note5.

For my money, it’s the best Android phone on the market right now: the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+. (Terrible name, excellent phone.)

It is one of the best cameras you can get on a smartphone – perhaps only the LG G4 edges it in a head-to-head.

Yes, it's expensive, but the S6 Edge Plus is the sleekest, fastest phablet with the best display and a great camera.

Premium. Eye-catching. Breathtaking, if you’re the kind of person who easily runs out of breath. This is the most attention-grabbing phone you can buy. The metal and glass surfaces positively gleam. The screen is gorgeous, one of the best ever made, even before you consider its futuristic curve.

Don't get me wrong: It's a sleek and distinctive design, and quite impressive from a technological standpoint. But form shouldn't get in the way of function -- and that's precisely what happens here.

The camera on the S6 Edge+ isn't anything to get that excited about, as it's largely the same as that on the S6 Edge. Actually, that's pretty harsh, as the camera on that and its S6 brother is brilliant -it's just there's not a lot extra to play with.
