So, it looks like the rumors were on the right track. Samsung has been working on a larger version of the Galaxy S6 edge all along, and that rumored device has just been made official. Meet the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ – a smartphone blending powerful hardware with outstanding design and sprinkling it all with some TouchWiz on top. 

But the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ is far from alone in the large-screen smartphone category. There belong dozens of great phones, including the Galaxy Note 4 – a phablet that has sold by the millions.

Okay, enough chatter. Here's a quick specs comparison between the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and the LG G4.
