If you ever looked at the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and thought, no, it’s just not big enough? Well, if you have, then Samsung’s Galaxy S6 Edge+ which is rumoured to be launching alongside the Galaxy Note 5 on August 12th, looks like it should satisfy you fairly handily.

Dunno about massive. Just Note sized. This may mean that there will be a new Note and Note Edge in parallel, as per the S6. I wonder if they’ll skip the 5 so that the numbers align? The Edge is certainly lovely to handle. But when I put my Note 3 down next to my bed it’s face down and no LED light can leak to disturb our sleep. How do you do that with the Edge? And once you root the device and run a more fully featured ROM, what then? Zero Edge functions? And how do you protect… Read more »
