Stuff ’s top five phones from Samsung’s flagship series
01 SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 EDGE
Samsung had made phones that had outsold the iPhone before the Galaxy S6 Edge came along, but it had never launched anything that made even the most hardcore Apple acolytes question their whole belief system.
With its curved display, and the plastic chassis of its predecessors replaced by two slabs of Gorilla Glass connected together by a band of aluminium, the S6 Edge felt as good to hold as an iPhone or HTC’s One M9 (remember them?). And what a stonker that screen was as well: a 5.1in QHD Super AMOLED that packed in almost 80% more pixels than Apple’s Retina display of the time.
