Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus Review: A Crowd Pleaser; AT&T Rolls Out Latest Lollipop Update

If you're looking to buy a Samsung Galaxy Edge S6 Plus but still undecided, a recent expert review of the smartphone will finally convince you to grab one - ASAP.

By and large, the handset, despite a few minor but negligible flaws, is "the pinnacle of hardware design" and a "crowd pleaser," according to Forbes.

For starters, the design of the Samsung Galaxy Edge S6 Plus is already a winner with its metal frame, curved glass front and stylish glass back. The phone's weight is just right and fits well in the hand.

The smartphone's thumbmark scanner also works brilliantly, as it easily recognizes an owner's thumb and automatically unlocks the phone. This feature provides a better user-phone interface experience, and works best for those who have to frequently make electronic payments.

Moreover, Forbes' review of the Samsung Galaxy Edge S6 Plus notes that the smartphone's rounded edges allows users to access their contacts list, make and cancel calls. The edges light up during an incoming call.

Another outstanding feature of the handset is its camera, which takes stunning photos. With a double-tap of the home button, the phone HDR photo-mode is engaged, enabling you to capture more hyper-real and highly-saturated pictures off the bat.

The handset's battery life, however, leaves much to be desired. In fact, it may have one of the worst batteries among the latest Samsung models. This may be due to the unit's high resolution panel which eats up a lot of the phone's power.

Meanwhile, as Samsung continues to get positive reviews for its Galaxy Edge S6 Plus, AT&T has begun rolling out its latest Lollipop software for Android phones, according to Techno Buffalo.

The 5.1.1 update, which only weighs around 660 MB, brings Samsung Pay, brings with it a couple of design and user interface tweaks, and a number of new features.

Quoting users on the Android Central forum, TechnoBuffalo said that the newest Lollipop version also includes ultra-high quality (UHQ) audio and live broadcasting, which lets users stream gameplay directly to YouTube.

Samsung has likewise tweaked its app icons to make them look identical to those on the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, changes which could lead to a more favorable review of the handset maker's flagship smartphone.
