As you can see there is no major difference between the two phones, almost all the specs are same. Then what is it that makes the two different? Well, it is just the screen. There is an edge on the screen of the S6 Edge. This Edge on the screen helps you to get quick access to your notifications and other functions.
If you are considering the portability, then the S6 Edge has an “edge” over the S6. The Edge is lighter by 4% than the S6. On the other hand, the S6 is thinner than the Edge. But most importantly both these phones are thinner than 9 mm; therefore, they won’t feel bulky if you use a case along with them.
There is LTE connection in both the phones which makes it very much quick. The cameras of both the phones work pretty well. So, if you do not have any problem in shedding that extra Rs. 10,000 then Galaxy S6 Edge should be your choice for its awesome curved screen.
