Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is now considered the most expensive smartphone among the models operating under the Android operating system. But this does not mean that the buyer of the device will be 100% satisfied. Below you will learn about the typical flaws that this device has.
Main disadvantages
Slippery body
The first trouble of the smartphone is that its body turned out to be slippery. In the six months of the existence of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, when the device has repeatedly slipped from the owner’s hand. The consequences of such a fall are different - in about half of the cases the user has experienced damage to the display. Do I have to say that such a case is not considered a guarantee?
To solve a similar problem is possible only by buying a case. But then you have to forget about the brilliant appearance of the device - you will enjoy only the design of the cover.

Low battery life
At first it seems that from a single charge the device works very long. The 2600 mAh battery installed here allows you to enjoy watching videos for 12 hours and 20 minutes. Everything is not bad when launching 3D games, when the charge lasts for 3 hours and 50 minutes. But it is well seen that the creators have optimized components for just such tasks. If you want to use non-standard functions, then you will encounter the fact that the battery will begin to discharge literally before our eyes. For example, this is facilitated by watching videos using a third-party player or using a PDF reader.
Of course, the device supports fast charging technology. But this does not change the fact that the charger should be on hand every night. Longer battery life can only be achieved by regularly switching on the economy mode. But using the device in this mode is not very convenient, since the color gamut changes to a darker one, and the wireless modules start to work intermittently.
Equally important disadvantages
Controversial ergonomics
From time to time the owner of the gadget will be confronted with the fact that the sensor on the curved edges of the display does not recognize pressing. You have to make a second or even third attempt. Or use only specialized applications whose interface does not imply important elements on the edges of the screen. Agree, this is not what you expect from such an expensive device.
Also, some buyers may complain about too sharp edges. And the problem is not that you can cut yourself with a smartphone. No, you cannot damage yourself, but you will have to suffer with the use of the device. If it is easy to get it out of your pocket, then try to lift the device, which is lying display up! Because of the very thin side faces, this is very difficult to do. Some will say that it is a trifle. But because of such trifles, the impression of a smartphone, for the purchase of which huge money has been spent, is gradually deteriorating.
One speaker
The speaker placed here turned out to be loud, the music is played clearly and without any artifacts. But this does not change the fact that he is here alone. You will not feel the stereo effect. We would not focus on this, but even cheaper devices from HTC are equipped with two speakers. Some Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge buyers will say that their smartphone sounds great. But such people simply did not hold in their hands flagship devices from HTC.
Minor issues
Allowed engineers and several other shortcomings. Some of them can be easily forgiven, while others also make it harder to use the device.
- No memory card slot - this smartphone buyers will have to accept.If you regularly download a lot of games and movies, then you need to choose a model with a large amount of permanent memory, paying a very decent amount.
- No slot for a second SIM card - less significant flaw. But many residents of the CIS countries still love to use the services of two telecom operators at once. Such people will definitely not consider buying the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.
- Expensive accessories - This deficiency stems from the pricing policy of the South Korean company. Bought an expensive smartphone - get ready to fork out and accessories. Of course, you can order covers in China, but in terms of quality, they will lose outright branded products.
There are no ideals
As you understand, this model is hardly ideal. But do not be afraid of so many flaws. We do not in any way consider the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge to be a bad device, because there are many more positive aspects of a smartphone!
