Here's what you can do with the Galaxy S6 edge side screens: a features walkthrough

Samsung got all eyes on its Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge flagships the other day, and it's the Edge that picked everyone's attention with its unorthodox side-sloping display, that is the only thing which separates it from the "plain" S6, if we don't count the slightly different dimensions, and the larger battery.

Galaxy S6 edge comes with a flexible AMOLED panel that has a plastic, instead of glass substrate, and bends over both the left and right edges of the new flagship, utilizing Samsung's proprietary 3D Thermoforming method. Besides the cool factor, these edges can glow in different colors depending on who the caller is, for instance, among other cool things.

What exactly are these unique extra features that the flexible AMOLED brings? Well, we snapped a few shots at the MWC expo to demonstrate, here's a walkthrough of the things you can do with the S6 edge side-sloping panel out of the box.
