Maybe people are realising the edge is pointless
Not really, used normal S6 are only fetching about £400... so still gonna cost you around £100 extra to look cool.

Very good, would rather have the initial loading speed as faster, but I'm sure updates will fix this.
Seems releasing second and receiving 5.1 first has been a great benefit for the LG G4 but this is only a short term advantage.
It's been well documented for a while now, even 5.1 has some weird memory issues which is probably why Samsung will be jumping straight to Android 5.1.1.
I'm not blaming Google alone for the issue, Samsung probably didn't help matters.

Regarding the RAM, as I posted in the G4 thread, it's down to Samsung's aggressive RAM management, as the M9 (on 5.0) came from behind in the same way.
I assume that's a concious decision from Samsung, but future updates will tell.

My S6 doesn't reload apps like that. It doesnt have those reloading issues.

Maybe it has already been addressed in an update then. 
S6 Mini with 808?
Looks like a competitor to the iPhone 6 in terms of screen size and resolution.
Could be promising, however it won't compete with the iPhone 6S

Got that ram fix a while back, so far its still only one network. I think they are just going to push it fully with the 5.1 update next month.

No buyers remorse then? Part of me says hang on another year with the s4.
I'm coming from a S4 and my S6 arrives early next week. My main motivator for moving is the battery life on my S4 is now terrible but I'll let you know my thoughts on the improvements in other areas.

I've just refreshed my old S3 (sometimes use it for nights out/sat nav/etc as it already has a slightly off-screen crack) and had forgotten how slippery and awkward it feels in the hand compared to my Nexus 5.
Given that's one of the complaints about the S6 (particularly the Edge) I'm now debating whether I should go for a Note 5 as I was thinking, assuming it has the same build as the S6. I flat out refuse to use a case with any new phone.
I normally wouldn't bother, but I best feel one in person first (nearest store is 30 miles away I think, so it's not something I usually do).

Not sure if this fixes the memory problem. I on the Vodafone firmware and background apps still close.
Well you been morning about how expensive it is, so you might have a little buyers remorse.
