And will it bend?
SquareTrade Shows Samsung S6 Edge as Bendable as iPhone 6 Plus & More Li...: https://youtu.be/3Y7tPczbOec
I doubt I would be able to bend it in my pockets, so it doesn't matter to me. But I'm holding off until I see the S6 Active partially due to the Edge being uncomfortable in the hands. But I intend on putting a case on it, which might make it more holdable.
And an op-ed on the Edge:

I found it interesting that they showed the pressure required to bend the M9 and the Iphone6, but they didn't actually show that for the S6 Edge. I wonder why not? Also the bending it until it folds in half is kind of dumb, of course a pneumatic machine capable of hundreds of pounds of pressure can fold an aluminum and glass slate in half.
Would be interesting to see if the S6 holds up better than the S6 Edge. It looks like the curve in the glass on the edge makes it more prone to shattering when placed under stress while bending.
