I have been asked my several people the above question? Should I upgrade my Note 4 or iPhone 6 Plus for a Samsung Galaxy S6/S6 Edge?
I have a Note 4, and I am changing it for a S6 Edge. I currently have the standard S6 but am moving to the gold S6 Edge. Why I am changing?
1. Design of the gold S6 Edge – personally I think it looks gorgeous
2. Speed of operation – its fast at everything
3. No more memory card/batteries to worry about
4. Audio quality – headphone output is both better than the Note 4 and louder
5. Camera – it just is superb
6. Size – easier to manage one handed
Now some balance. If you can manage with the Note 4 size, it still is a fabulous phone. Lovely large screen, stylus and still a good camera, just not as fast as the S6 or as good in low light. It is also cheaper and therefore represents better value for money.
What about if you own the iPhone 6 Plus. Firstly, it world’s apart as a device. If you use FaceTime or iMessage with family and friends, then maybe a change is not a good idea. Also, the 8mp camera on the iPhone is a good shooter and the 6 Plus is half way through it product cycle, so hopefully in 6 months time, it will receive the next world’s best camera on a smartphone. The 6 Plus has better battery life than the S6. So I would be cautious of any change.
If logic plays no part then its happy days 🙂

The S6 Edge is an emotional purchase. I prefer my S6E to my Note for non business uses as I do use the Note for taking notes with the stylus a lot on my Note 4. The audio quality of the S6E is superior to the Note 4. I’ve not had battery issues as I was very careful in the first week of ownership to allow the device to cool down fully with the device being off before recharging for 2 or so hours.

I have the same thoughts as Jah. I love the S6 Edge but will also keep my Note 4 for business. The stylus is just too handy for me to give it up. After work however, its the S6 that goes into my pocket.
One thing that has surprised me with the S6 though is that it also drives my Beyerdynamic T1”s (without an amp) and whilst the volume is not deafening, it is certainly loud enough for me. These headphones have an impedance of 600 ohms. 🙂

The headphone amp is rather good ☺

I am also finding that for casual use I prefer my S6E as it is so fast even compared the the Snapdragon Note 4.
