So these phones look the same, but one is bigger. Is that all Samsung brought to the table? Absolutely not. This time around the new bigger Galaxy S6 Edge Plus is actually much more powerful too. It has a blazing fast 8-core processor, more RAM, a bigger battery to help with that big screen, and more. Here's the details for those curious.

Galaxy S6 Edge Specs

  • 5.1-inch 2560 x 1440 Quad-HD Curved AMOLED Display
  • Samsung Exynos 7420 8-core processor
  • 3GB of RAM
  • 32/64/128 GB of storage (no micro-SD
  • Android 5.1 Lollipop
  • 16 Megapixel camera, 5 MP front camera
  • Fingerprint scanner
  • 2,600 mAh battery
  • Wireless Charging

Galaxy S6 Edge Plus Specs
  • 5.7-inch Quad HD Curved AMOLED Display
  • Exynos 7420 octa-core processor
  • 4GB of RAM (Regular S6 Edge has 3GB)
  • 32 or 64GB storage
  • 16 Megapixel camera / 5MP front-facing camera
  • Android 5.1.1 Lollipop
  • Fingerprint scanner
  • 3,000 mAh battery
  • Fast Wireless Charging
  • No S-Pen

As you can see above the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus has a bigger screen, but it also has 4GB of RAM instead of 3GB. For improved performance and multi-tasking. Reportedly a slightly improved camera. A bigger 3,000 mAh battery, and a new  "Fast Wireless Charging" technology that makes wireless charging more of a novelty, and actually useful. Although cord charging is still a little faster.

Essentially users will get a bigger screen, more features for the curve, a bigger battery, and more RAM for improved performance and future apps compatibility.

    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.

    Hello, not having ir blaster had made me not go for it anymore. I will get my edge or note 5 soon.

    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.
