I must admit, I was a bit hesitate to get this phone since I had always had the Note but I was impressed. The only issue with the phone is that the edge feeds are hard to initialize and they only appear during sleep mode and that is only after you swipe to get them to appear. Now if I have to swipe to make them appear, I might as well look at them from my device. All in all I love the size, color, and speed of the device. its a must have.
I got this phone to replace my GS5 and I love it so far. I held out for it instead of getting the S6 because I need a waterproof phone, and an SD slot. There are two main gripes I have relating to performance and design.
Starting with performance. TouchWiz is still on board and slows things down so bad. It's got great features that a lot of other launchers don't have, so I can't go with Nova or Google launchers, but there HAS to be a way to make it less resource intensive. 2 weeks in and it's kind of "laggy". Not bad, mind you. This phone is powerful, but it's stuff people like me with a trained eye for tech performance will inevitably notice. I'd give performance 4.5 stars if I could. This phone does handle apps and tasks like a pro, loading everything insanely fast. Plus it can connect a call faster than I thought possible. The actual call will be ringing before it even chimes that it's connected.
I gave design 5 stars because it looks and feels amazing, BUT I do have to say it's very slippery and the touch screen is almost too sensitive. Sometimes it registers things my finger is still hovering over. Probably just something to get used to. Sometimes the edges will register touch from your palm too. Again, probably something I just need to get used to. Since these are probably just user error, I gave it 5 on design. I challenge someone to find me a sleeker, sexier phone than this one.
Otherwise, this thing is incredible and people have been very complimentary, which is really cool. Seriously though, the camera, the battery, the screen; you name it, it excels in it.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Lightweight, hi-res display, fast processor, great battery life, waterproof, sd memory expansion, ample ram
Cons: slippery, touchwiz
I would recommend this to a friend!

Everything I ever had Samsung was great and they're keeping the tradition going
THIS PHONE HAS AN AMAZING PICTURE AN VIDEO. THE FACT THAT IT IS WATERPROOF IS A NICE FEATURE YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT GETTING WET AND DESTROYING THE PHONE. ALSO THE FACT THAT YOU CAN ADD MORE MEMORY IS A GREAT ADDITION. THERE WERE MANY THINGS ADDED THAT WERE NOT ON THE S6 EDGE VERY HAPPY WITH THE PURCHASE OF THE PHONE VERY CUTTING EDGE.
I absolutely love this phone. I recently swapped from an iPhone and I really like the fact that I decided to make the change. The phone isn't difficult to operate as people claimed. I wouldn't go back to iPhone software to save my life.
First the battery life is incredible compared to other galaxy phones I've used. The screen is the perfect size. The edges took time to adjust to but I've fallen in love with the convenience. The S health features were an unexpected find on this phone. The cost of the phone seems much less now that I don't need to purchase a fit bit type watch to track my steps and monitor my fitness.
