S6 edge.. a week on.. few gripes and niggles.

Well I can't fault this phone at all really as far as design goes.  It looks stunning and feels great to use and feature packed.

 

First issue I noticed is the edge display does not work if you use the official clear view case. If the case is closed the edge display does not work which makes having the edge version pointless :Sad_face: I will be writing to Samsung regarding this and hopefully it's just a bug that will be fixed. The clear view case is a lovely bit of kit otherwise.

 

The screen is not as hard wearing as it sounded.  Being the latest incarnation of gorilla glass I'd have expected better. Having the case on as above during my first week I got a few marks on my screen which look like small impactons where dirt or dust may have been on the screen and pressed against it when the case is closed. This has really annoyed me as a week old phone now has marks on the screen. People definitely need a screen protector if planning to use the clear view case. This will also be mentioned on my email to Samsung. 

 

How is everyone else getting on?

Google zagg and look at there screen protectors. There pricey at £20 a pop but are very good. I was in a rush installing the front protector and messed it up so have to buy a new one but the back one went on perfect.

To be honest I'm now wishing that I had gone for the S6 rather than the S6 Edge.

 

The reason is simple - the "flat" area of the screen is smaller in area than that of the S6. In fact when I first compared the S6 and the Edge side by side I was struck by the optical illusion that the Edge had a smaller screen.

 

This is a perennial problem when it comes to reading text due to the warping that occurs when the text wraps.

 

It seems a minor issue but it does become annoyng after a while.

 

The Edge is innovative and does look cool, but if I could do things over again I would go for the standard S6.
