I got a new phone this past week. I had wanted a Sony Z3 or Z5, but that isn’t going to work out anytime soon on Sprint, so I looked and looked at what Sprint had to offer on their Website. Finally, after looking up lots of information I had decided it’d be best to get a Samsung, though I have hated TouchWiz since coming into contact with it via my Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 a few years ago. Talk about S6 lines and TouchWiz were more gracious than I had expected, so with the S6 Edge+ 64gb in Platinum Gold I finally settled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like this phone a lot. So very, very much. It’s big, but thin, and very, very light weight. Going from a Nexus 5 to this phone, S6 Edge+ is an incredible leap forward, even though my Nexus 5 was on Android M and the S6 is still on Android L.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Camera and Video abilities of this Edge+ are awesome. My Nexus 5 long ago ran far behind any of the newer phone cameras. The weather hasn’t been very nice, so I haven’t gotten any good subjects to take as examples to post. I will in the future though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The headset that comes with this phone is really good. It may not be super good compared to other things, but an in the box pair of headphones … nice. The different earpiece scared me at first, but gives good fit once one realizes how to put them in. Two speakers on each L\/R make lovely bass and high tones. Good sound right into your ears! (Way nicer than my Beats on the ears, ouch!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Android now makes it easy to delete or disable most apps you don’t want on your phone (that come pre-loaded.) This is really good because I don’t like Sprint Bloatware, nor Samsung Bloatware. I’d been using a Nexus 5 plain vanilla Android for almost 2 years. I don’t like my app drawer full of junk. I don’t want things I don’t want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Menus\/Settings … bless you Samsung, they are virtually the same as vanilla Android. Just more colorful. (I get so very frustrated whenever I need to check settings on my Hubbies LG G3!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also got a back cover (Clear Gold) which keeps the beauty of the phone with it easier to keep a nice looking back (not as many smudges, easier to buff smooth with a micro cloth.) The cover hugs the corners which also protects that same part of the phone in case of a fall. I don’t intend to LET it fall, just that it might fall as phones inevitably often\/usually do at some point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bottom Line: I Love my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ 64gb phone! Twice as much space as I’ve lived with on my phone the last 2 years. No hope of more on either old or new phone, I can live with it, Google Music is my good friend, and Google Photos, plus uploading to so many other sites … it’s not the worst thing to not have expandable memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P.S.<\/em> I encourage my husband to get a regular S6 or Note5 if he breaks his current phone. \ud83d\ude09 Very nice phones, and wireless charging (which is the other incredibly needful feature for me that Nexus 5 had and so does my current phone) is great by the bedside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
