The Samsung Galaxy S6 features the classic flat display that everyone has come to expect. This phone design is comfortable to use. It features a high-quality glass and metal body, giving it a premium look.
In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge stands out with its curved display that wraps around the sides of the body. This creates an unusual appearance, giving the impression that the phone has virtually no bezels. The curved edges can also be used to display notifications and quick-access features, but many find this design rather inconvenient, especially when using the phone’s edges as a control panel.
