Samsung S6
One version has a curved screen to provide a quick way to stay in touch with select contacts, and to alert owners to important information.
More details here:

I thought the one where the screen curves around the sides a strange idea.
After all isn't it the sides of the phone that usually takes all the knocks.

I say happy, I dropped it on the bathroom tiles last week and now the volume control is stuck and the phone refuses to come out of Safe Mode
I have phone insurance cover with Barclays and have made a claim for repair. I am due an upgrade around October but will probably keep this to reduce costs. I may go for the s5 Mini if the price has come down enough, though.

So they slimmer phones, and slimmer phones are harder to pickup.
Curved edges, again harder to pickup.
My s3 was very hard to pick up until I put in a case, the s5 however doesnt have curved edges and isnt as slim as my s3 and is much easier to pickup.
So the s5 lte-a is probably samsung's best phone now, but they pretending it doesnt exist, no lollipop updates for it, no advertising for it, and some samsung apps dont even work on it. The s5 lte-a is what EE supply but they put the standard s5 specs on their website.
Hopefull s5 lte-a sales will surge because of this and then it gets more support on XDA.

Looks like a good phone. I look forward to reading reviews on it.

I also asked a friend (who owns an S4) to try picking up my S3 and he agreed it was hard to pick up. It now has a rubber case on which has grip pads at the side. I brought one of those rubber case's for my S5 also but it was made poorly, doesnt quite fit the phone, but luckily the S5 is easier to pick up due to its straighter edges and added thickness.
For some odd reason there is an obsession by phone critics about wafer thin phones.
The S6 seems like samsung made a phone to satisfy the critics rather than their own design beliefs.

Quote The redesign has, however, meant some features have had to be jettisoned: the phones are not water-resistant, they do not have a microSD slot for extra storage and their backs cannot be removed to change their batteries.
We'll have to wait and see

I may update to an S5 Mini if the price comes down towards the end of the year or, as my S4 Mini is looking a bit battered, I may just replace it with the same.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I was talked into it at the O2 shop. Nice phone and a big screen but really too big. I'll go for a smaller phone next time. Still I got a deal. I pay £27 a month for my package.

I take more notice of the comments under the review than the actual review, because the review is based on a free review copy so they want to keep good relations with samsung.
