My favorite, night mode, displays the time during your designated sleeping hours while the rest of the screen stays off. See all photos Night mode and display-on-demandДЄlthough Samsung has shed most of the Note Edge's original functionality, it did carry over two features to the S6 Edge. The only downside here is that if you want to open the Edge screen, you have to first locate and then slide out a thin gray tab in the upper third of your display, which is easy to miss. Here, the optional Edge screen slides out from the left or right when you want it, but otherwise remains hidden from view. Gone is the always-on strip of interface for launching apps and sometimes viewing alerts. If you're familiar with this region on the Note Edge - the 2014 phablet that offered a similar wraparound screen, albeit on only one side - it's time to reflash that image. Think of the S6 Edge's sidebar, called the Edge screen, as a specialized communications hub. Edge display: Cute, but only a little useful

When reviewing that phone, the screen's deeper bend occasionally caused a parallax problem, one that the S6 Edge seems to avoid since most of its surface is flat. The concave Galaxy Round, which is sold only in South Korea, had some of this effect, too. (Alas, this doesn't translate well in a photo.) Navigating around the S6 and the Edge side-by-side in real life produces more lifelike icons and images than when viewing them on the flat S6 display. The curved display isn't only an aesthetic affectation, either. If you're wondering, the Note Edge felt the same way despite its asymmetry, though I like the way this Edge looks even more. Sarah Tew/CNETД¬ompared with the S6's familiar rectangular shape, the S6 Edge is palpably modern and chic. The S6 Edge and Note Edge have different curvatures. Also noteworthy is the S7 Edge's 3,600mAh battery - rated for longer run time that the S7, the Edge 6+ and even the Galaxy Note 5, which is a real marathon runner. While it has many of the same specs as the S7 - a 12-megapixel camera, water resistance, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, and a microSD slot - the S7 Edge has a larger, 5.5-inch screen versus the S7's 5.1-incher. In March 2016, Samsung introduced newer versions of its flagship Galaxy, the S7 and S7 Edge, at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Given their nearly identical specs, the Galaxy S6 remains the better value. That noted, in the US, the S6 Edge costs $100 more than the S6 on contract, and about $100 to $130 more off-contract, with $100 bumps for each storage size. And though the S6 and S6 Edge are close siblings with similar specs - attractive aesthetics, first class components, and a few features (like wireless charging support) that cannot be found on any iPhone - the S6 Edge certainly boasts the more premium look and feel.

The Galaxy S6 Edge's innovative, rounded-side display has earned a reputation as one of the best screens on a smartphone.
