Android flag highest in its battle with iOS Welcome to a
Biomedical Battery specialist of the
Fluke Battery
The operating system is incredibly fast. This device is powerful enough to keep you away from your laptop or tablet. The screen is clear and the overall functionality is absolutely excellent.
It has to be, of course, as it is competing directly with the iPhone 6s, and 6s Plus. I know a couple of people who have actually made the move across to this phone from the iPhone due to its look and performance, which is the exact opposite of what you’d expect in the Android vs iOS wars.
It has all the bells and whistles you expect from a premium Android phone so I won’t go in to that with battery like

It’s all on the big screen
Samsung’s Super AMOLED screen technology is the best of the best. It is crystal clear, colours pop and the resolution (2560×1440) leaves me complaining about absolutely nothing.
When you’re watching videos or playing games, the wrap around the edges, although minimal, does actually improve the whole feel.
At no stage have I used the phone with the brightness on fully, for that would be needlessly harmful on my eyes. At about 40pc it’s clear as day.
Separating itself from Android rivals like the HTC One M9, for example, Samsung has its own 64-bit Exynos processor, with a pairing in the backend meaning battery life survives better when just browsing around (rather than gaming).
On battery life, I can’t complain. It has lasted a full day pretty easily, even when I’ve been jamming up all the apps I can. The quick charge, too, is very impressive. In about 45 minutes it’s almost full. The phone is big enough to let you split screen some apps, if you want, but I found that a waste.
The camera, too, is impressive. 16Mp and the power behind it to make it all work as fast as you like, it comes with loads of photography styles and, when you’re out and about, it works like a dream.
On to some quibbles now, of which there are, surprisingly, many. First up, there’s no FM radio. This is something happening more and more to smartphones and it’s something I’m not impressed by.
With no FM radio, you rely on apps and, despite the Galaxy S6 Edge+ being a powerful beast, data can drop anywhere, at any time, for any reason. FM doesn’t.
So I was relying on apps that I knew would fail once I got into my nuclear bunker of a house after work. In this regard, the apps worked better than I expected, but still, it is pointless in my eyes to not host this service.
Staying on audio, the speakers and audio jack in general work like a dream – until they don’t. I was getting around 20-25 minutes out of podcasts (I wouldn’t listen to the radio after a day or two) before it would inexplicably stop. Just stop. No reason.
I thought it was the incredibly sensitive screen rubbing against things in my pocket, but I couldn’t check because as I took it out to look my fingerprint unlock had opened the phone up and I lost any clues I needed.
I eventually found out my podcast app was on some weird battery saver setting, which may have caused it, but it still happened after I fixed that (although far less often).
The screen, for all its benefits, can’t really be protected. I went into a Three store to get my SIM swapped over so I could review the phone and, when asking for a cover, was told I’d do well to find any specifically made for the Galaxy S6 Edge+.
This, genuinely, is a problem, as, when you take it out of your pocket, you press pretty much everything because you need your whole hand, with wandering fingertips, just to grip it.
