I find it a great devicem the "Edge" screen is just an expensive gimmick, whilst it has little notifications attached when the screen is off, I don't take any notice so have disabled the feature. That aside, Samsung has really pulled back on the bloat, it runs smoothly and is lag free. A lot of people complain about TouchWiz, now it has a theme engine meaning you can change the look of the phone right down to the icons. I run the Material Design theme, it looks like a nexus and runs like one, so no complaints there.
Have a good look at the standard S6, it has the same features as the Edge save that screen functionality. The cameras are amazing, the screen is the best on the market in my opinion. At least if you went with the entry model of each handset, you start off at 32GB so plenty of space for photos and films to some extent.
The only draw back is the battery life, its a bit limp. Fast charging is great when you're near a plug socket, not so much while out and about. Again as I say go for the S6, its cheaper and imho better looking.

My apologies, I completely over looked that device, its laser focus is more accurate that S6/Edge so I have read. Software updates are a lot more forthcoming than the likes of Samsung. If the G3 is anything to go by, G4 should be receiving Marshmellow within a matter of weeks from first dated release. I often overlook LG, that is my fault, when I was shopping for a handset over the summer I had looked at them, they were much cheaper than the Edge I have now. Very few people have grumbled about the device, removable batter, SD card etc...all pros. TBF there are very few negatives to the device, for me its just the physical size, thats why I went for the S6.
