The signature look of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Samsung Edge<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> models is that the screens curve around the edges of the device but each model still looks slightly different.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, if you were looking to buy a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Samsung Galaxy Edge<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Samsung has since discontinued the line but you can still buy refurbished models.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep reading to find out if the<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Samsung Galaxy Edge<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is still worth it and everything you need to know about <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all Samsung Edge phones<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this blog:<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Edge-model\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge model<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#Samsung-Galaxy-S6-Edge-models\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge models<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#Samsung-Galaxy-Note-Edge\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Samsung Galaxy Note Edge\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Edge-model\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge model<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wondering <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge a good phone?<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For its age, the S7 Edge shares some of the same features as the newest Samsung releases. It has Always-on display, so you can glance at notifications and alerts without having to unlock your phone. The S7 Edge even supports wireless charging and fast charging which is rare for a phone that\u2019s seven years old.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This model has a decent screen size, measuring 5.5 inches and the Edge panel is even easier to access compared to the other <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Samsung Galaxy Edge models<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Super AMOLED display makes watching videos a breeze and it runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 Octa-core processor so you won\u2019t have to worry about speed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re into photography, the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Samsung 7 Edge phone<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has a 12MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera. You\u2019ll also be able to record videos in 4K and the Selie Flash mode is great for creating better-lit photos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Samsung S7 Edge is worth buying for someone\u2019s first phone or if you\u2019re on a\u00a0 budget. However, this model is no longer supported for Android updates as of 2020 so this is definitely something to consider.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/store\/category\/?keyword=Samsung%20Edge\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">refurbished Samsung S7 Edge<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> models for less at the musicMagpie Store!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"Samsung-Galaxy-S6-Edge-models\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge models<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Released in 2015, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and S6 Edge Plus were dropped from being supported by Samsung back in 2018, so if you looking to make the switch, you won\u2019t have access to any important updates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nevertheless, let\u2019s dive into the features! The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Samsung Edge<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> S6+ has a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display and a larger 3000mAh battery. Whereas the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge has a smaller 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display and a 2600mAh battery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You would think the Samsung S6 Edge Plus would have a bigger camera considering the size difference but it has the exact same 16MP rear camera and 5MP front camera as the S6 Edge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Edge panel is limited on both models as it will only allow you to choose your top five contacts and colour-coded notifications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to the non-existent updates and very few features that stand out, the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Samsung Galaxy Edge<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> S6 and S6+ probably aren\u2019t the best models to upgrade to.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"Samsung-Galaxy-Note-Edge\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Samsung Galaxy Note Edge<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve been scratching your head wondering what was the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">first Samsung Edge phone<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge was the first in the series and is considered more of a phablet than a phone itself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A bit different to the other models, it only has one curved edge, unlike the rest. However, for a phone released in 2014, the Galaxy Note Edge had an impressive 5.6-inch Super AMOLED display and a 16MP rear camera.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The screen also has a few different functions, including notifications, shortcuts and widgets. You can also select app shortcuts and create folders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is the first in the range, there aren\u2019t any wow features as you would expect. There are a lot of newer models that are still supported by Samsung, have advanced features and have a tablet-style, so we wouldn\u2019t recommend buying this<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Samsung Edge <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">model anymore.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upgrading your Samsung phone?
