Galaxy S6 Edge Plus Detailed With In-Store Photos
Today we get to see the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus in all its pre-release glory. This device is the next in a line of unique Samsung devices with displays that spill over the edge of the phone. While the first "Edge" was a Galaxy Note, this device gets rid of the S Pen and sticks closer to the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, the most successful (of the two) Edge devices thus far. This device is as large as a Galaxy Note, but keeps the details of the Galaxy S6, providing a sort of hybrid device for public consumption.
The images you're seeing here are of in-store dummies. Some stores – believe it or not – do not keep actual, running smartphone models out on their show floor, instead opting for non-working dummies to convince prospective users that what they feel in their hand is exactly what they'll experience right out of the box. The device you see here is made of plastic, while the real deal will be made of glass and metal.
The real trick here will be finding a suitable case for this device. With far more glass than EVER before, the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus will be a real doozy to keep safe.
Images above come from AllAboutSamsung.de where they were obtained by an anonymous tipster.
The entire back of the device – save the edge around the camera array and the edge around the whole device – is made of glass. The front and down the left and right edges is glass. It's all glass.
Reinforced, scratch-resistant glass, but glass nonetheless.
