Galaxy S6 edge+

Samsung had a stand in my mall this afternoon with the S6 Edge on display. Sorry to disappoint folks, but I was entirely disappointed.
The shiny back is revolting, and attracts smudges quicker than a mirror. No SD card slot, and the stupid back plate preventing changing of batteries. Honestly I think the plastic removable back looks better, and is more functional.

Have we reached the end of innovation of cell phones ? Perhaps not, but it seems like we have stalled, or have gone backwards slightly in the last 2 years.

I held my Note 3 next to this S6 Edge, and I preferred the look of my Note 3....plus it has far more expandability. My Note 3 has been superseded twice with new models, but what extra do you get with these two models that mine doesn't have ? fingerprint sensor...wow...thats about all.

I will be hanging on to my two x Note 3 phones for a while longer....or moving to a Huawei dual SIM phone.

I feel the same when I compare my Note 4 to the new Samsungs. I already have the 2K display, Metal frame, 16MP Camera, 32GB Memory but I can expand that, fast charging etc etc...

I agree with you up until you say Huawei, I'd never leave a Samsung for Huawei. Huawei's greatest, the Mate 7 doesn't even have Lollipop 5.0, let alone 5.1.1.

Huawei and the other Chinese OEMs are fast catching up, that is clear, but they still have some way to go in terms of refining things like the Camera, Display, local support etc...

The Hisilicon chipset Huawei use lags far behind the rest.

Indeed.

Its more comparable to the old Samsung Exynos 5420 which is almost 3years old. In actual fact their architecture is very similar and they use the same old Mali T628 GPU, which if I am not mistaken can't handle much over HD1080P@30FPS and the image processing isn't exactly the greatest.

I thought the latest was not the Mate 7, but the P8 and P8 Max ? I like the P8 for it's dual SIM, and expanded storage...oh, yes it does indeed have Lollipop 5.0.2, 13 MP 4160X 3120 back camera and 8 MP front camera.

I think the specs are pretty good..

P8 is great ,but the gpu is slow . I think i got around 50k on antunu at FHD on the p8 .The s6 gets 62k at 1440p and the note 4 snapdragon gets 52k on 1440p.
 
Hi Guys,

For people in CPT getting the Edge plus, I bought a clear silicon case and screen protector (front and back) at China Town in Sable Square.

Case = R70
Screen protecters = R150 (These are good quality ones, not the cheap plastic)

Cheers
 
I'm getting the gold. Something different and I'll use a case so the fingerprints wont be as bad.

Should get it tomorrow. Also just got a One Plus Two invite lol

It's the shop furthest away from Pick & Pay on your left hand side. Sorry, not easy to explain the layout.
