Samsung’s Galaxy S6 Edge+ is flying the Android flag highest in its battle with iOS. We took a look at the phone to see what all the fuss was about.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ is stunning looking. It looks and feels like a well-honed shard of glass, a pretty large one at that. With a 5.7in screen, weighing around 150g, the whole thing is protected by a thin aluminium frame and Gorilla Glass that you really have to just trust.

I say that because for the first few hours with this phone I was fairly certain it would smash. Take it out of my pocket too fast? Smash. Fall off my desk? Smash. But, gradually, I began to put my faith in the engineers behind this beautiful piece of kit and now, a few weeks later, it almost feels sturdy.

But there are some issues – check out the video to find out what they were.
