The Galaxy S6 and S6 edge are the best smartphones Samsung has ever made — any review you read will tell you that, and having used the S6 myself for almost a week, I couldn’t agree more. But they aren’t without a few teething troubles.

The video below highlights an issue with paint chipping around the camera lens, while I’ve had problems with the Galaxy S6’s LED cover scratching worryingly easily.

Samsung has rolled out a new update for the Samsung Push app that could improve the woeful battery life on the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge. The update is available now from Google Play, and it promises to reduce data usage and power consumption.

With strong reviews and positive word of mouth behind both the iPhone 6 and the Samsung Galaxy S6, the battle between the two flagship devices is what the smartphone-watching world deserves.

But there’s one more question that precisely nobody’s been asking up until now: Which one would survive longer in a tub of boiling water?

Yep, as wacky stress tests go, you can forget about accusations of bending — this one takes the cake.

The curved glass display on the Galaxy S6 edge may be considered somewhat gimmicky, but that hasn’t stopped it from being incredibly popular.

According to one report out of Samsung’s native South Korea, the S6 edge has sold just as many units as the regular Galaxy S6 since the devices made their debut on April 10.

Samsung has proven with the new Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge that it really can make a premium smartphone that looks and feels like it is worthy of a high price tag. The S6 Edge is so premium, in fact, that it costs more to make than the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
