*** The Official Samsung Galaxy S6/Edge Thread ***

The s6 glass is prone to fine surface scratches easily in my experience.

Oh dear, not what I wanted to hear. I love the phone but the lack of screen protection is worrying. I hate flip cases so really wanted to avoid them if I can.
 
Evening all,

I'm just wondering if I'm being a little bit paranoid.

With previous phones (the last three have been htc One's) I would usually fit a glass screen protector, I've used Spigen and they have served me well . As all the htc phones had flat edge screens there was no problem with fit and they stayed put.

Now I've got the S6 edge plus and am getting a bit paranoid that I should fit a screen protector.
There doesn't seem to be much around in the way of glass type screen protectors and the ones available seem to have mixed reviews.
I know the S6 edge plus has Gorilla glass 4, so do I really need a screen protector to prevent everyday scratches.

What are peoples experience with the screen, am I right to be paranoid or am I just being over cautious.

You will always get micro scratches, best forget glass screen protector there aint one, the ones that are out are nasty, and i tried a few, dont even think they glass more like plastic, touch sensitivity is no good either

i myself bought full front normal screen protectors a pack of 10, for a few pounds and work very well, and bought a tempered glass for the back, i dont like cases,

i got the front protector when it comes to selling it screen will be as new as when bought

Thanks

Does anyone have any insider information as to when Samsung Pay will launch (either officially or as a beta) in the UK? Everything I've read online just mentions that it'll be coming to the UK after the States but it doesn't specify an actual date.

If its anything like the wireless charging on the S3 it won't ever come out on the S6 and will be a normal feature for S7 :rolleyes:

Saying that I have apple pay on my work iPhone and never use it. Now that I'm rooted I don't miss the idea of being able to have it :)
 
Has anyone got any info on when EE will be pushing out the extra 230MB update mentioned below at the beginning of August? I've been waiting (since I was updated to 5.1.1) to see if they'll ever roll it out.

5.1.1 doesn't tend to make any improvements so to speak that are noticeable (apart from the obvious like the Camara contrast slider) but it's the 230MB update in addition which has been pushed to devices which makes notable improvements in both Battery Life and outright Performance.

I've just checked my S6 Ede on three network & started downloading a 226MB update, hopefully this is it.
 
Does this thread also cover the S6 Edge Plus? if yes what kind of battery life are you getting on the phone how many hours of screen on time.

Also what would you say is the best screen protector to use? are there any glass ones that cover the edge as well?

Yea see above on this page mate. Battery is good. Can get a whole day from it using it fairly often.
 
I've already linked you
Have a wee search around on amazon I'd imagine the edge plus one's are also out for edge

Yes sorry I missed that, I don't like the black bezel around the protector but I guess you have to have it for the edge and it is a bit pricey.

Have you got one?
