With 4 GB RAM, I assume that their Android kernel is 64-bit. Are they now supporting 64-bit apps? Are there any?
Got a tip for us?

This post screams fanboy to me.
In the one example you include the brand name, in the other you don’t. You should have said either;
Friend one: Apple iPhone 6+
Friend two: Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+
or;
Friend one: iPhone 6+
Friend two: Galaxy S6 Edge+
Do Intel and the other OEMs also still make computers without those features removed?
Did you not even hear what was just said to you?
Your reply should have been thus;
It isn't the look of the icons but rather the user interface which copies Tizens's small circular icons.
Typical deflection. Reeks of fanboy that. You deliberately ignored what was in front of you and took the conversation somewhere else.
Instead of even trying to explain yourself with something like;
Oh yeah, my bad - I never knew that. I do think Apples implementation is betetr though, you launch into a ridiculous tirade. My head is spinning so fast I think I’ve gone back in time, (which is what Apple did to get that naming scheme?).
The icons are pulled directly from tizen. Didn't copy apple. Like I said one may argue apple watch ripped off the icons from tizen. On top of that, the new watch is circular. How else were they supposed to display the icons?
My Safari auto-refreshes like a mofo, both in my iPad Mini 2 and in my iPhone 6+. The 2gb RAM upgrade was needed like 2 years ago already!
It's nice that we have someone from the fanboy police here to set things straight. Be sure you change OSX 10.10.4 to Apple OSX 1010.4 in your signature so that you follow your own rules.

Same with my 6+. Sometimes I'm just reading a web pages and then all of it sudden it decides to refresh. It wasn't so bad when I first got it. But it has been happening a lot lately.
People are foolish to think that the 1gb is sufficient.
Is the Samsung using a 64-bit kernel now?
What about 64-bit apps? Do they exist for the Samsung? How is the distribution handled? I've seen nothing on the more interesting technical aspects. 64-bit processors have been used in a few Android phones for a while, but, everything still seems 32-bits.
The other thing I was wondering about is whether or not there is a portable unlocked version? Apple has excellent LTE band coverage now with lots of bands covered. Samsung doesn't seem to be doing that, but, I can't really tell what they support on, e.g., gsmarena, or other websites.
Note sure if someone already answered but they couldn't call it a note edge because it lacks the s pen to take notes with.they should of kept the s pen on it and stayed with the note 5 and note 5 edge.
Basically it's a bigger screen gs6 edge without the s pen
Starting with 5.0 lollipop Android went full 64 bit kernel .its still a gimmick untill we get 8gb of ram for devs to take full advantage of 64bit registers
And the galaxy phones usually lead the market on supported bands,heck the iPhone 6s is rumored to have the same modem as last years galaxy s5.
The second you resort to party name calling, 2 things occur.. Your opinion becomes invalid as you obviously cannot have a rational discussion.. And 2ndly, you are just telling the world how much you see Samsung as a threat.. If you didn't, you wouldn't give them the time of day, let alone make up childish names...
Surely design is subjective to the individual my friend.. There's no cast iron certainties..
Oh, I'm still proud of the name Scheissung Crapaxy, and I see their inventions as a threat to my sanity, therefore I stay far away from them. Doesn't stop me from reading about their dropping sales and gloating.
That is the saddest thing I have read all week, one young fella is actually gloating about a billion dollar Corp the other side of the world not selling as many phones as they did last year.. Tell me, how much of Apple's profits did they share with this week? When you realize the answer is zero, have you ever asked yourself why you defend them so much, and hate their business rivals equally.. So sad...
Yes indeed, been there and done that. You'll quickly learn the grass is not always greener on the other side. I can barely wait for the iPhone 6s to come out, so I can ditch this Samsung Galaxy Note 4. It's slow, laggy and I am constantly having to clear my cache and partition cache to keep it halfway running smooth. Not to mention the slow response time of the Camera. God forbid you want to look at a picture you just took. Hell I can't even use it to stream music in my car because the music stutters/skips via Bluetooth, oh unless you leave the display on. LOL Enjoy your trip to the other side, I've been there through Note 3 and 4 and I am done with Android!

I don't see Samsung as a threat, rather as a corrupt imitator. I find this offensive. Too bad for you if you find me irrational and you draw the wrong conclusions based on my statements. I did not create the term "crapsung" - you will find it ALL over the web, including on Android forums.
They can't, and don't expect... If you check Samsung history.. preferably copycat cases.
It's their DNA.. it is on their name Samesung... Samesung... Samesung!!!!
Also, it is not deflection to ask why a commenter joins a Mac user forum to sing praises to a Korean chaebol renowned for it's astro-turfing misinformation, corruption, accounting fraud, bribery, and control by a small group of corrupt oligarchs?
I think your the saddest person... you are in a Apple centric website and all you do is praise your Samsung products?
I will understand if you are a shill (at least you r trying to make money).
Btw.. i know, you don't have a wife! Stop talking about with your imaginary wife. Take the medicine.
I've never tried an Android phone and have no opinion of the OS or Samsung phone hardware whatsoever. My iPhones have always done everything I've needed and more, so I have no intention or desire to switch camps.
But I have to admit that the Edge is an awesome looking phone. Something about the edge-to-edge curved screen just does it for me.

You really have a fanboy phobia don't you. You seem to focus on it a lot.
