With curved screen smartphones having a design edge compared to the competition, it is not surprising that the BlackBerry Priv, too, opted to include such a feature. However, by far, the leader in this sphere is the Galaxy S6 Edge from Samsung. This is how these two devices compare.

Design

Both these devices have very similar design elements but look different. On the Galaxy S6 Edge , there is a metal frame and polished Gorilla Glass 4 on its back panel.

The home button on the device also has a fingerprint scanner incorporated into it.

As for the BlackBerry Priv, it, too, has a metal frame but its back panel has a fiberglass finish. Its curved screen with dual curved edges can display the amount of charge in the battery and also notifications from apps.

However, there is no fingerprint scanner on the device, which only comes in black.
