Samsung Galaxy S6 edge (USA) - User Reviews

  • Yes dude it has...

  • does anybody knows if the Verizon version has wireless charging?

  • Hello! im using this version in Albania. Its from Verizon and i hdd the same problem and i was stuck on lollipop bcuz it wouldnt upgrade, i would get an error message everytime. You can update it by installing Samsung Smart Switch on your Pc, it will show you if theres an upgarde available for your phone, connect your device to it and start upgrading. Currently on Nougat. You're Welcome.

  • I have a s6 edge verizon and im actually using it in Albania...can anyone please tell me how to upgrade it ... Its actually on android 5.1.1

  • Yes. Also if it gets wet you can play a special sound wave that'll eject the water from all the ports too.

  • Is this phone waterproof? ??

  • yeah i'm also having like your version .. but i want to update in phone setting to get official updates , and update easy . Now model is G925P and it's 5.1.1 lollipop

  • it does get the update.i updated my s6 edge (sm-g925v) to Marshmallow 6.0.1 via odin.simly download the firmware from sammobile and vlash it via odin.

  • my phone is the best...

  • Please stick to landlines

  • Why (USA galaxy s6 edge) can't upgrade to marshmallow

  • u mean it does not support LTE for GSM?

  • Am here in Ghana and am using samsung galaxy 6edge but is a sprint type but is not working on 4g but even if I use a short code by my network provide is tells me my phone doesn't support 4g.Can there be way out

  • All phones from 2012 on or so have SIM cards, even CDMA phones. The SIM slots are used for LTE data on CDMA carriers (like Sprint & Verizon). Verizon phones for example are all unlocked - even though they are a CDMA carrier, they can be used on any GSM network. And Sprint, well I'm actually using a Sprint S6 Edge that I had unlocked on T-Mobile. So yes, CDMA phones definately have SIM cards.

  • CDMA dont have sim slot

  • cdma and gsm are network technologies cdma is old and gsm is new technology only

  • it take's about 1 hour/1 hour 30 mins :D

  • Hi guys! How long does it take to fully charge this phone?

  • can anyone explain me whats the difference b/w cdma and gsm??

  • Can you explain whats the difference between CDMA and GSM please??

  • Hello, I had the same problem in the past I contacted the 1-800-samsung they remotely access my computer download a samsung program on it and upgrade the phone. The name of the program is smart switch you can go on the samsung website download it and do the update if you cannot contact samsung

  • Does anyone know if this phone bought in a CDMA carrier can work in a GSM carrier?

  • From what I here Galaxy has much better pictures

  • About Galaxy S6 edge vs. Blackberry Priv ???

  • Which phone is better ? Iphone 6 or samsung galaxy s6 edge

  • jessy jj. I understood everything you wrote. Remember this is not school. I remember having some idiot teachers like Dan when I went to school who tried to correct me when they were wrong too .

  • I was going to say the same thing, this Dan guy needs to install spell correct or maybe he just can't read. Comment on the phone guys, this is not a school where you are graded on spelling or Grammer. I understood all you wrote jessy jj.

  • Note5 or s6 edge and why ?

  • this ph.look is so good ...bt his performance is running slow...nd battery back is not good...... soo i change this ph......then sm note3 is performance is very fast ......................

  • looking good but battery backup not good and over heate

  • sir, i live in dubai i want this mobile (samsung s6 edge (cdma) can you tell me which version is for united arab emirates

  • I have an S4. Was very disappointed to find out the S6 went with a non user replaceable battery and no memory card, both were big features that steered me the S4. Will just hold onto my S4 , if it breaks down I will try to find another one. Bring back the memory cards and batteries Samsung.

  • Sir, You Can Search Samsung That Is Made In Korea.. But Be Careful With A Clone One.. Some Even Lie.. So Do A Lot Of Window Shopping In Your Places And Search For Samsung Store Maybe It's Far But Worth It..

  • Hi Can anyone give me an idea on how this phone is usage wise and data wise?

  • Are the other versions of Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge like Hong Kong version still considered original? There's no US version of Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge here because I live in the Philippines. Which version should I buy? What are the differences of the US version and Hong Kong version from the box, accessories and the unit itself? I hope someone replies to this because I want to buy one but there are many versions out there in the market. I don't want to get a fake version.

  • why design of the phone actualy same like Iphone 6?lack of idea? of course samsung..just curve screen just to get much intention..lols ofcourse it samsung people will buy cause for brand 'samsung' actualy LG phone better then samsung crap thx

  • This phone might work on freedompop

  • yes dan at least just try to correct your self and then try to correct peoples grammar dont be ignorant okay just saying,,thank you anonymus for being gentle

  • "comment ON this phone" come now Dan if you going to correct jessy jj's grammar at least use correct grammar yourself.

  • Radio: No ..what??

  • OMG I really love this phone iit is so amazing,,in my opinion I thing is better then the iphone 6 well is becausde I allways use samgung phone,,-'-'

  • when you are going to comment in this phone. try to learn how to type the words correctly. just saying.

  • i love this phone

  • And what about this...2tb cards will be available? and i think there is no reason for phone to crash if you you use good quality sdcard...maybe because samsung is crappy phone?its like you said we dont need hard drives in pc lets use RAM instead...

  • when i change the pone i like to just put my sdcard in new pone i and i have all the data i had on my old phone,how i am supposed to that with internal memory?if you ask me i would rather have 128gb card slot and internal memory of 8gb just enough for system data...even if they offer 512gb of internal i am not interested!

  • Whats the Future on this Device.......about Samsung Galaxy S6 edge

  • the finger print thing is not an apple idea. this was on Motorola years ago,but like most things apple just reinvent them

  • you've said that in the near future SD Card slot expansion will be removed ... that's to unfair to our android user's ....

  • Why does there is no SD Card slot on this phone ? how can i back up the the apps ?

  • so who knows how to unlock the phone if its locked to a CDMA network like sprint

  • Since that i just know that a few latest samsung mobile missed their DLNA function?

  • Battery time is very good. but, Built in Super display quality First Samsung's Phone of beautiful design Magnificent Performence! (sometimes it have framedrop. because of the google's lolipop.....)

  • where can you buy this chip?

  • According to an article from yahoo,the expndadble card slot will be remove as option in the very near future from android phones. The reason for it is because if we place a sd card and the phone crashes the consumer would blame it to the phone manufacturer and that'what the phone manufacturers are avoiding. Well how about this, phone manufacturers of android provide us with 64gb internL memory and do not sky rocket the price of the phone. That's fair enough because if you don't want any comlains from the customers when their phones are crushing then place zome durability in the software of the device.

  • I have had use iPhone 5S for the past one and half year. Now i feel iPhone is better than edge.

  • Nope don't worry people. Storage is taken care of buy a lil usb 64gig cheap as chip's , tiny dongle. Plugs in the bottom, works in my note 1, 2014 note, s3, tab pro 10.1, tab s and it will with yours,ligh in fast transfer and keeps your movies and files safe, secure, and, always handy. Problem solv...ed.Gsmarena show the battery to be more than adequate.

  • Does it really sound as tho he's EVER bought any samsung model ever, no, sounds like troll fodder. Go on..no sdcard oooooh, no removable battery ooooh glass ooooh just like all iphone people will never buy another iphone eh, yer rite. Troooooooooolololol.

  • No, its my mistake, it's slightly more powerful, than that.

  • Pooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooerfull, man. Got it

  • And then you woke up holding your iphone.

  • Ha ha, we don't even care if its got a daft finger print sensor,this phone is that good it doesnt even have to have one. What a cheek to suggest copying on such an insignificant thing as an unnecessary fp sensor , when, if it wasn't for samsungs drain on apple customers, apple fans would still be squinting at a 3.5 inch screen, whilst telling the world its the optimum size because..well.. apple have told us its what we the public want, well we know how that one went don't we....they just copied samsung, wow just look at apples new galaxys is5 and their new inote2+ with a lil etzl rim and a round home button and big bezels added for a smoke screen to detract from their android embelishments,anyway enough mention of that inferior tackle, its not worthy to be mentioned in such company by merit hence you and the likes of you coming out with such red herrings, away with you, to the dungeons of jealousy and butthurtedness. Ahaaaaaaaaar.

  • I got this S6 edge in hand one month over. Really I fed up the performance with this phone. I don't suggest any one to buy this. Maybe you are attracted with the specifications and accessories mentioned about it, but rally it's not.Yes one thing I will accept the applications and play store apps is more than iPhone, but you want use any of them you need to carry a powerbank or charger to plugin. I wish to share some of problems which I facing with this phone. 1. Charge you can get faster to 100 with in minutes but drain it more faster. 2. Heated up while charging, calling and watching a song. 3. Hang at most times using Facebook, vibe or WhatsApp etc. :( 4. Many of the functions on it can't use due to these above problems. 5. When open some downloaded applications or games there have popup lot adds and once you click this linked to play store or some other Web pages and get hang. So please think before you buy this. I need to use it until complete my contract.

  • Get a life with apple ffs. Are you an apple big shareholder? or does your overpriced gadget prints real money. If you cant make effective comments then back off.

  • One of its powerful thing is that it copied iPhone fingerprint sensor

  • Many Sprint and Verizon phones now have SIM cards, but that isn't because of CDMA. The SIM cards are generally there for Sprint's and Verizon's 4G LTE networks, because the LTE standard also uses SIM cards. The phones may also have SIM slots to support foreign GSM networks as "world phones."

  • It means Code Division Multiple Access. A kind of Digital Phone Technology that usually do not Uses Simcard. Some are under Verizon Carrier, Metro PCS, Virgin Mobile etc. IT has an opposite Technology called GSM, that uses Simcard. Stands for Global System for Mobile Communication, some are under TMobile, AT&T US Cellular, cricket etc.

  • Can anyone tell me how powerful really this phone is

  • What does cdma mean? What the difference between the normal s6 edge and this.

  • yeah. it needs a powerbank because its 2600 only and its too small for an octa core processor :) but overall its amazing specs up there

  • I would be happy more if this phone will have a backup battery inside it :-)

  • Well samsungkid it is glass. So can it really be so hard to belive that it can actually crack?

  • countdown to release day

  • Don't buy it from outside india if you are using it in india because you dont get a service here. It is frim my bitter experience I share this.

  • Just got my S6edge! after almost two weeks(11days to be exact) and it THE BACK CRACKS!!!!! I wont buy any samsung model ever again!!!

  • Just had hands on in Warsaw, seems cool, but the edges are not that noticeable as on pics, and the phone stays small in hand, could be better with 5.5 inch

  • this is good , the specification for me is best, but it must have a memory card slot to save some important files, or works as a back up,, even our phone is low batery of not working the file is save in the memory to use... second the batery life is to short, my s4 and s5 of my friend is easy to drain , maybe in the future in the next series they can find ways for the memory and improved the batery life..

  • 2 not good things in S6: - No Micro SD memory - Battery is bad.

  • battery. no Good

  • Good phone specks good upgrade samsung now I want 1

  • Good Mobile good specs By The Way.....First Comment
