Samsung Galaxy S6

[faniebraai]

I looked at a demo S6 and S6 Edge in store last weekend and noticed the aluminium bevel sticks out with an edge, any users found this annoying with use? I was expecting the same smooth corners the iPhone range used with their new iteration

no bother for me

Just a heads up, reports coming in about people getting scratched screens on the S6 edge with the clear view cover.

saw that report

not sure how i piece of plastic can scratch a screen :erm:

It seems what happens is when the inside of the cover gets dirty it rubs all over the screen and scratches the hell out of it.

I'm guessing that some physical property of the curved S6 Edge screen and Samsung's case design is allowing dirt to get between the cover and the screen, where the hard plastic then digs the dirt into the coating of the glass as it opens and closes slightly in the user's pocket or purse.

Excessive usage is a game breaker you can only get around 3. 5hours screen time per change

this is a phone, not a playstation

I still love it, I did a test I used my phone on full brightness and constantly kept the screen on etc

I expected less so I am very happy

Doesn't bother me. If fact I think it makes the phone easier to grip.

I never thought this could be possible.

Shows me all the settings you probably have screen on basic and the brightness so low you have to use a torch to see what's happening

 

[poohbear69]

Lol. No. About 40% brightness. Not on auto. I wasn't very scientific about the settings, but I'll investigate more thoroughly in the next couple of days.
No LTE. No widgets.

I disabled the following apps

Oh, and screen mode is Amoled cinema because I can't stand to look at a drab screen

Oh, and screen mode is Amoled cinema because I can't stand to look at a colour accurate screen

FTFY.
