I received my Galaxy S6 Edge+ yesterday. If you have questions, ask away! I'll be posting a review later (or perhaps tomorrow), too.

How is the RSRP levels compared to the iPhone 6?

DanielB · August 19, 2015

Unfortunately, that's the one question I cannot answer as I no longer have an iPhone on Sprint. Not sure how to measure this on an Android device.

Having said that, sitting in my office where my HTC One M9 with Sprint got a weak signal at best (and pulled 6 Mbps down at most), the GS6E+ is pulling downloads of 20+ Mbps. Haven't done much testing yet, though.

I've had this thing activated for about 18 hours. Would not activate when I received it, and spent 3 hours on the phone with Sprint trying to get it done. They finally concluded it could not be done until Friday, the official release date. I drove to my favorite Sprint store in Short Pump and Noley got it activated within 5 minutes.

Whoever moved my post is in total error - they moved it to a thread regarding the Galaxy S6 Edge - my post is in regards to the S6 Edge PLUS. Different devices.

That is quite a bit of difference if it's coming from the same location. Did you have signal check installed on your phone on your m9 before?

Had a derpy moment yesterday. Have always used SignalCheck Pro, lol. RSRP now holding pretty steady in my office around -108 dBm (15 asu). Don't remember what it was on the One M9. But in general, this phone is holding signal much better than the M9, which is a real shame.

It was the iPhone on which I don't know how to measure RSRP.

No. AC is unavailable. He is still driving the white Ford Bronco ahead of the police chase.

This is a really superficial question, but is this phone available in Titanium Silver from Sprint like the photo you showed, or only the fake 80's rapper 10K Gold Platinum color? As you can see I love this phone, but I want it in Silver!

None of the US carriers are offering that color. That's a decision that lies with Samsung.

estarkey7 · October 13, 2015

Well, I'm going to have to hold off on a purchase, because I believe they will eventually offer it sooner or later.

estarkey7 · October 20, 2015

OK, I lied! I couldn't hold off any longer, so I got the gold platinum color. When I was in best buy, I could have sworn the phone on display was the titanium silver, but it wasn't. So, I guess the color wasn't so bad after all.
