Galaxy S6 edge+ review: The 5.7" phablet edition of Samsung's first all-glass curved flagship.
The first curved phablet.
S6 edge+ scaled the curved-glass S6 into phablet territory with 4 GB RAM and the dominant Exynos 7420. Dropping microSD and water resistance was controversial, but the build set a premium bar. A pivotal design moment for Samsung.
