The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge may be 2015’s flagship, and a year is a long time when it comes to mobile tech. But, that doesn’t mean it’s obsolete in any way. The S6 Edge began Samsung’s build material revolution, along with the Edge gimmick that we all know and love today. But, the glass and metal build may not be for everyone. That is why leather is still the most popular option.
