Useful innovation or a gimmick, what do you think of the curved display on the Galaxy S6 edge?
Samsung currently has all eyes on its Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge flagships, with an imminent launch next week, but 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, which you can review in our walkthrough of the things you can do with the S6 edge side-sloping panel out of the box below.
While you can argue about the practical applications of such a curved solution, the cool factor is undoubtedly there, but we wanted to ask you what do your really think about the functionality that the S6 edge display brings to the table - useful innovation or a gimmick? Take your pick, and sound off in the comments.
