As per the rumour mill, Samsung has announced a larger version of its curved screen smartphone and it's the main new device for the UK with no Galaxy Note 5 launch. Find out what has and hasn't changed in our Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge vs Galaxy S6+ review.
The Galaxy S6 Edge was, and still is, one of the most expensive smartphones on the market so it's not surprising that the bigger Edge+ is even pricier. If you were worried about the impact on your bank balance before then even more saving will be required for the new Samsung phone.
We've outline the prices of the Galaxy S6 Edge and Galaxy S6 Edge+ in the table below but the bottom line is that you'll need to pay an extra £80. The prices below are from Samsung's official site.
Design and dimensions
It's obvious that the Edge+ is bigger but to get specific, this means you'll be dealing with a 75.8x154.4mm phone compared to a more manageable 70.1x142.1mm. Although Samsung claims the new model is thinner at 6.9mm instead of 7mm (does that really matter?), the Edge+ is heavier at 153g against 132g.
It's also worth noting that the Edge+ is only available, at least to start with, in black or gold colours while you can also the original Edge in green or white.
Screen
Of course, the screen is a major different and the reason why the Edge+ is bigger than its predecessor. It offers a 5.7in compared to 5.1in so this is one of the main things to choose between when picking your S6 Edge.
They use the same SuperAMOLED screen technology and a Quad HD (1440x2560) resolution. This means the Edge+ has a 518ppi pixel density which is lower than 577ppi available on the regular Edge but these are both so high you won't notice the difference.
Storage
As you may have spotted from the price table above, there is no 128GB model of the Galaxy S6 Edge+ so you're limited to either 32- or 64GB. For the same price, you'll get double the storage by opting for the smaller phone. Remember, there's no Micro-SD card slot so choose wisely.
Memory
As well as a bigger screen, you'll get more memory if you opt for the Edge+. It has 4GB of RAM compared to 3GB which is nice but not a difference which is going to make a huge amount of difference in the real world unless you like running tonnes of intense apps at the same time.
