you'll get used to the ip6 form factor quickly. i came from an ip4 and it felt too big initially but now like a week later, it feels fine to me and normal.

had the ip6+ initially and that shit was LOL big. got rid of it 3 days after i got it to downsize to the ip6.

You have said "i dont like samsung designs" . it should be "i dont like samsung design" . because smasung knows only one design :p lol

Ha, you're right but I can't criticize - this is apple's MO that samsung adapted to. Remember when samsung released like 100 phones a week, all with wacky and varied designs? Then they went the Apple route of tweaking an iconic design over and over again, because the marketplace like consistency.. Too bad they started with a pretty lame (well, generic) design.

Yeah, I barely could hold the thing (6+)with one hand, trying to use it one handed was just absurd. Weirdly, my dad's galaxy mega (6.3") seems easier to hold/use. But it's something I think I can get used to on the 6, its just a bit too wide

Meh seems like a gimmick right now

Not really, it is very useful. Can use the curve for camera apps, ticker tape for stocks, news, etc. Will even give you time, temp, battery use, etc. You can also put any app you want on the curve.


Different kind of curve. The LG is just a curve for your face, nothing else. The Edge curves around the edge of the phone, so it is seen while it has been laid down. See above what it can do.

But it DOES have a tremendous downside of it. Reviewers say forget the Edge, if you are left handed. You will constantly be hitting the apps on the edge. I happen to be a southpaw. :(

To you, maybe. I don't particularly mind clicking on an app :)
