**Samsung's Edge Screen: A Novelty Factor with Limited Functionality**

In this review, we're taking a closer look at Samsung's Edge screen feature, which was recently added to their flagship devices. The Edge screen is essentially a curved display that wraps around the edges of the device, offering a unique visual experience and some interesting features. However, upon further inspection, it becomes clear that the Edge screen is more of a novelty factor than a game-changer.

One of the first things we noticed when using the Edge screen was its limited functionality. We were able to access various feeds, including the quick dialer, which allows users to assign up to five contacts. However, these feeds are quite basic and don't offer much in terms of practicality. For example, there's a "what do you say" feed that seems to be more of a gimmick than a useful feature. Additionally, the Edge screen doesn't offer many other features beyond what's already available on the regular S6 devices.

Another interesting feature of the Edge screen is its ability to add custom feeds. Samsung claims that users can download more feeds through the app store, but in reality, there aren't many options available. The ones we were able to access were mostly gimmicky and didn't offer much value. This lack of functionality is disappointing, especially when compared to other features like night mode and edge lighting.

In terms of aesthetics, the Edge screen is undoubtedly sleek and modern. Samsung claims that it makes the device look more premium, but in our opinion, the regular S6 devices are just as stylish and sophisticated. The difference lies in the design language used by each device. The S6 H has a more streamlined look, while the S6 Edge has a slightly more angular feel.

One of the most notable differences between the two devices is their size and weight. The S6 H feels noticeably smaller and lighter than the S6 Edge, which may be appealing to users with smaller hands or those who prefer a more compact device. On the other hand, the S6 Edge has sharper edges, which some users may find aesthetically pleasing.

The keyboard on the S6 Edge is also slightly different from that of the regular S6 devices. Some users may notice that certain keys are placed on the edge, which can lead to slower typing speeds and more errors, especially when using both hands. However, this issue is likely to be resolved by getting used to it over time.

**In-Hand Comparison**

When comparing the two devices in person, we found that they share many similarities. However, there are some key differences worth noting. The S6 H feels slightly smaller and more comfortable to hold than the S6 Edge, especially for users with larger hands. This is likely due to the device's narrower design language.

In contrast, the S6 Edge has a slightly more angular feel and a sharper edge profile, which may be appealing to some users. However, this difference in design language is relatively minor, and both devices are comfortable to hold in the hand.

**Price Comparison**

One of the most significant differences between the two devices is their price. The S6 H can often be found online for around 49,000 rupees, while the S6 Edge can cost upwards of 58,000 rupees. This price difference is largely due to the fact that Samsung has discontinued production of the regular S6 device in favor of the newer model.

For value-conscious consumers, the S6 H represents a much better option, especially considering its lower price point. However, for those who prioritize aesthetics and are willing to spend more money on a premium device, the S6 Edge may be worth considering. Ultimately, our recommendation depends on individual preferences and priorities.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, while Samsung's Edge screen is an interesting feature that adds a unique twist to their devices, its limited functionality and high price point make it less appealing to some users. For those who value aesthetics and are willing to spend more money on a premium device, the S6 Edge may be worth considering. However, for value-conscious consumers or those with smaller hands, the S6 H is undoubtedly the better choice.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there this is ranit and in this video I'll be talking about the differences between the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the S6 Edge I've used both these devices now for a couple of weeks and quite a few of you have asked me my personal opinions about which one is better I'll talk about that uh at the end of the video first I'll be talking about the major differences between both these device technically speaking both these devices are sort of ident I because internals are the same obviously the S6 Edge have this Edge at both the ends and Samsung to differentiate has added some features so let's have a look at them first so here we have the S6 and this is the S6 Edge and one thing right away I noticed is that uh the regular S6 feels a little bit wider to hold uh whereas the S6 H feels a bit narrower to hold both of them have a 5.1 in screen but the S6 Edge just feels like a narrower device a sort of a smaller device thanks to this Edge screen so if you're a person who likes uh smaller narrower devices then the S6 H might be a more ideal beted but again as we have these Edge screens don't expect a lot of functionality I would say also in terms of weight there is a minor difference uh in fact the regular S6 weighs a little bit more it weighs at 138 G whereas this S6 uh Edge weights at 132 G but again in day-to-day usage practical uh usage I would say I do not feel a lot of weight difference both of them actually feel almost the same also in terms of battery there is a slight difference the S6 H has a higher capacity battery that's a 2600 Mah whereas the S6 has a 2550 mAh battery uh but again in um Regular day-to-day usage I found the battery life almost the same on both these devices so that's not a major difference uh the major difference I would say with the S6 Edge is this curved display and I actually sort of like it but it's sort of a gimmick also in some places where I really like is for example in some of the apps like Play Store Etc you have you can just slide away and it look look at it a little bit carefully and it looks like that it's just flowing like this I also noticed this with Gmail Etc so apps that have this feature that you scroll from The Edge uh they feel a little bit cool it see it looks like this text is just the screen is just flowing it's a minute effect that I would say and scrolling is if you just move like this it's a bit smooth because we don't have anything we just have the glass actual glass so it feels smoother to scroll around I would say uh but again that's a minor different but as it's a Ed screen Samsung has added some functionality let me show you I feel it's sort of a gimmick but let me actually show you that if you go to the settings you can actually search for this Edge and you'll find the edge screen option let's just go there for some reason it's broke yeah you can hit the search and here Ed screen if you type it'll give you the option and these are some of the options that we have we have the edge lighting I'll talk about that a bit uh later you can also add uh Edge contacts for example here as you can see this minor tab over here if I pull this like this I can add up to five contacts and I can make quick contacts with them for example I have Ash I can just call him by tapping or message him I have my contacts my so you can add up to five and you'll notice that we have some colors for example ashes and blue uh this is my secondary number that's in green and uh so that way for example uh The Edge will glow but it's sort of a gimmicky to make it work what you have to do is the phone has to be placed like this inverted and now if those people call out of them five for example Ash was if I remember yellow color uh The Edge would glow in yellow color it's pretty faint but again I have used this device personally as my primary driver for over a month and I never used those features so it's sort of a but like gimmicky I would say let's also talk about some other features you can also get some notifications for example let me show you and right now uh the phone is in standby but if you rub it like this two or three times as you can see uh you get the weather time and the basic notifications if you can have Miss calls Etc it'll show you uh right now we don't have any notifications as you can see so it's showing nothing uh but you can add also some pains uh I added the Twitter pan uh but one thing I know have noticing is that this Twitter feed is generic it's not being picked up from my Twitter followers or the people who I follow so this is very gener Samsung has added a little bit of functionality let me again show you if you go to the edge setting uh you have this information stream that was the thing that I was talking about and uh we can actually add the uh what do you say feeds to word and if you click here these are the feeds that are offered I've enabled the Miss Call Etc and these are the basic feeds but again you see the feeds that you have are pretty limited uh Samsung says that you can download more but if you even go to the download as you can see the choice is very limited again most of them are sort of gimmicky in nature so I don't feel that the edge uh actually does offer a lot of functionality it looks pretty cool I would say definitely it looks pretty cool but the sort of functionality if you are thinking that you'll get amazing functionality with the Ed screen that's not the case yes this is there the quick dialer thing you can assign up to five contacts that's the only thing that I'm using but I'm not using the uh what do you say other features like the streams over here and stuff it's very limited yes you will like it uh I would say it's a novelty Factor but it vears off pretty quickly also you can assign night lock also if you want so those were the edge screen features but apart from that both the devices are very similar to each other and again the biggest thing I would say is in the Feld Factor the S6 Edge feels a lot smaller in the hand whereas the S6 feeds a little bit wider one thing I have also noticed is that the edge has these edges are a little bit sharper so you also have to be aware of it I would I wouldn't say it's a deal breaker I got used to it within 3 4 days of usage but definitely with the regular S6 if you hold it tightly uh uh it does not hit what do you say press your hands that much compared to the S6 Edge also if we talk about the keyboard again this might be just me I would say let's switch on Twitter let me show you the keyboard again um I've changed the keyboard uh but again notice the some of these uh keys on the edge are a little bit on the edge so when I was typing very fast I used to make a little bit more mistakes on the S6 compared to the keyboard on the regular S6 I feel if you type very fast then the S6 might be better but again um I would I might say it's just might be just just me so what do I feel about the differences between both these devices as we have seen it comes down to personal preferences in the style Department the S6 H goes ahead it simply looks a lot more sleeker but from a practical point of view I would say the s6h might be better for people who have smaller hands and prefer a smaller device because the S6 is slightly wider and might be more comfortable choice for people having slightly larger hands but again it comes down to Aesthetics I would say if you uh like the what do you say sleeker cooler design then the S6 might be for you but one major difference that I have between both these devices is that again it's uh particularly in India there is quite a bit of price difference now between the S6 and the S6 Edge earlier when the S6 was launched it was being sold for around 49,000 but now we can find it in online sites like Amazon and Flipkart I'll have the links for just around 4 ,000 or even 39,500 or something like that whereas still the S6 H is considerably expensive the price difference is around 9 to 10,000 and I would say if you're sort of a value consumer then the S6 makes a I would say a much better bet as because in the price to Performance ratio I would say the S6 goes ahead but again if you are more of a style conscious person and looks are the main uh Factor then and you can justify by spending that 9,000 rupees extra for some of those gimmicky features then the s6h might be for you practically it's internally it's the same device but again the look and feel is a little bit different and if you are buying it from a local store I would suggest that hold both these devices in your hand and see which one do you think is better because the inhand feel is slightly different in for both these devices I hope that this
