One of the biggest things here is Samsung actually made the Edge more useful. It's still somewhat of a gimmick, and just for looks, but this time around there are a few new features. The original Galaxy S6 Edge had a slide-out tray that showed a users favorite contacts for quick access to easily call and text friends.
However, the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus now lets you swipe twice and there's an "Apps Edge" tray with applications. This means a swipe will instantly get you favorite contacts, and another swipe will bring up some quick apps. We have plenty of space on the homescreen for apps, but I've put all my sports apps on the Edge, for easy access. It's almost like a separate area you can put anything you want. I chose sports, others might do social networks. It's fully customizable. |

Warning! The S6 Edge PLUS Dies Not have an IR BLASTER – do, if you use your phone as a remote, you can’t use the Plus! This is verified with Samsung – no comment as yo why they put one in the Edge, but not in the Edge Plus!

Theres literally nothing different between these 2 phones except for the size difference. Everything else is the same. There a couple of small differences which are pointed out in this article https://goo.gl/e3nBEL

Yeah the edge plus doesn’t have the ir blaster but it has the adaptive fast charging. I guess t just depends which one u need more. I do wish I knew this before getting my edge plus though.

HI,
Thanks for this compare and contrast page this was very helpful and Im saving to get the 64gb edge plus I wish there was a 128gb as prevents us having to delete messages and data of what we send via social media.

Even though IR is not needed for basic functionality I feel that it was one of those little extras that set my S5 apart from many other phones that were not IR capable. Seeing as how the micro SD and removable battery were also left behind this time around I feel taking away little bonus specs is just an added “hit” to those of us who already feel we are sacrificing the battery/storage. Unsure if I will continue being a Samsung customer or not…..at least until they come up with something that is more of a total package in my opinion.

The S6e does have the edge apps on double stipendiat and had from day 1. Jibberish when stating the plus have different cpu. At that point i didn’t bother reading the remaining parts of the comparison.
