11 Summary Compared to Galaxy S6 Edge, is upgraded with a more stylish ridge around the device body, dual SIM card slots, and removal of the infrared emitter. S6 Edge+ is of modulized design, modules mainly fixed with screws and adhesives, which is easy to repair. 1.Structural difference between S6 Edge+ and S6 Edge: a)noise Cancelling mic moved from top right corner to top left corner, while major mic moved from bottom right to bottom left; b)return and multi-task buttons are as capacitor rings assembled on a flex, glued to interior support in S6 Edge+, while for S6 Edge, it was integrated on the bottom PCB; c)in S6 Edge+, LED strobe, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor and microphone are integrated on one flex assembly, earpiece on another, while in S6 Edge, LED strobe, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, earpiece and infrared emitter are integrated on one flex assembly, microphone on another. 2.A curved display is applied on S6 Edge+, with SIM card slot on top while audio jack and data dock on bottom. On S6 Edge, SIM card slot is on the right side. 3.Stiffeners are added around battery compartment for S6 Edge+, device body solidity upgraded. 4.Improvement on display robustness is made with a strengthened package on the four corners with a thickened middle support frame. Compared to the curved screen side, which is 3.6mm thick, the middle support frame is 6.9mm thick.
