that'll be a note 6.. rumours are it'll have 16 cores, 6GB ram.

i can't see that happening tbh,

 

[Mobius 1]

Ah right. That makes sense. I thought it was going to be a successor to the 6 edge+

6 inches? For apes?

Nar, for those of us that like to browse/youtube on our phones and arent tiny

That's a bit of a bummer. Almost decision changing for me. As petty as it sounds. I love my smart ultra 6. But 5.5 is just a tad too large for my hands. Maybe the frame will be smaller and more manageable.

Presumably it's got a screen that size because the curved bits make it feel smaller in the flesh. Note is 5.7 so I'd expect it to feel smaller than that.

Marshmallow is certainly going to make the Edge screen better:

Edge features are a bit of a gimmick really. I have not seen anything being shown off on it that has made me go "wow that's cool" that couldn't already be done via apps anyway in one way or other.

me too.

i'd only be tempted by the s7 edge for the bigger battery but will that be offset by the edge screen?

 

[mrk]

The Edge has an even bigger battery than the 3600mAh on the S7 standard?!

Edit*
S7 said to have 3000mAh battery, Edge to have 3600mAh.

Interesting, so that's 100mAh off the Z3 but the Z3 has an LCD @ 5.2", so the S7 "should" last as long as, if not longer than, the Z3 given the SoC efficiency improvements and it being the latest AMOLED. Oh and 80% charged in 30mins...

If true, then happy with that.

Looks as thought the black will be proper black and not Black Sapphire:

I wish they would just hurry up and announce this and get orders going, pretty much everything about it appears to have been leaked.

Countdown has started:

Killer hardware, killer screen, waterproofing, wireless charging, improved camera performance, microsd.

Ok, I'm in, take my money.
