The one I've been waiting for, a non-joke of samsung phones... It's not much, but it's enough to sell me.

 

Only problem is they still insist on using a second-rate physical home key.

 

 

"CEO John Legere just tweeted out news confirming that the Uncarrier will be offering Samsung's latest, but didn't offer any details beyond that. Still, the page that Legere linked to has a pretty clear shot of the S6's curved display. From the front, it looks a lot like the Note Edge — though it's been rumored that both sides of this screen will feature the unique curve."

Needless to say... I'm excited.

The curving kinda annoys me....

 

If it's subtle, it's nice. I absolutely loved my Galaxy Nexus before it broke.

Awesome, but I'm sad to see they're still sticking with capacitive/hardware buttons. 

 

But this with stock android... That would be amazing.

Will it have a bit better build quality than the last ones?  

 

I hope for the pretty penny that things costs they'll do better, more premium feeling materials.  I just was not sold with the plastic backs and so forth.

Some have been available in the past, but only direct from Google. Didn't do that well though.

Not so fast, they have said they were working on that iirc. I'd still take it with a grain of salt, but we shall see.

I hope you're wrong. I'm buying if it's metal, or even like the G3's backing.

I'm with you. I really like my S4 and if this isnt complete garbage, I will likely buy an S6.

 

For the record I really like how it looks.

Literally talked about the release date of this phone today :D

I don't really want any curved edges though, that'll make it impossible to find cases for.

I got mine 4 days ago, I love it :D

 nice, ive got a htc evo 4g lte right now, its not that bad, just is getting a bit old, (handles drops like a champ, ive dropped it at least 5 times from normal phone height onto carpet, cement, wood, etc.. and it hasn't cracked the screen at all, or even scratched it, though the plastic casing has chipped a little bit, though I dont think that was from a drop)
