Samsung's next model in its Galaxy series, the S6, goes on sale globally today. And joining it in stores is the far more daring S6 Edge, a more expensive model with a swooping curved screen, like a smaller, symmetrical version of 2014's Galaxy Note Edge.

The two models mark a new direction for Samsung's flagship line, the S6 because of its glass and aluminum frame and embedded battery, and the S6 Edge due to its wraparound screen. Check out Jessica Dolcourt's S6 and S6 Edge reviews for our full take on each handset, but remember that choosing a smartphone is only part of the process. Once you buy it, you need to use it to its full potential. And since mastering a maze of features isn't always easy, CNET How To is here to help.
