Samsung Galaxy Note Edge review: The other side

14 November 2014
Experiments are great but it takes manufacturing prowess to follow them all the way to the retail shelves. Samsung have it – no surprise there – and they pulled it off, bringing the Galaxy Note Edge to stores. Never mind that curved screen looks like...

Costing almost $200 premium over the regular note 4 is hard to swallow by anyone. Use that money buying smart watch instead of the edge.

    Samsung could have used up the energy and man power better..this phone is just a gimmick..too much of Galaxy Note 4 in it.

        in some benchmarks which iphone6 & 6+ are not better than the others they've not been shown :)
        It's American politic to not show iphone6 & 6+ in low performance benchmarks......

It keeps annoying notifications out of the way and when the cam/vid is activated, that's where the controls appear. Does not interfere with whatever's going on on the main screen. I'd wager this edge panel will get more popular and start appearing on other handsets, and not just Samsung - maybe even Apple will shamelessly start using it in future devices. Wouldn't at all surprise me.

              Well I don't give a rat's rear what others say about the Edge. I was already sold on it before I read this review. I'm "struggling" with a two-year old HTC One XL at the moment - I'm stuck with the factory battery because of this daft unibody design that most manufacturers have adopted. Having a user-changeable battery, and a dedicated notification edge, are HUGE pluses for me. So it's worth the price tag.

                Because the Edge is made by Samsung, thats why it sucks. If it is made by LG, people will say different things.

                  MARK MY WORDS:

                  This will work better with tablets. Since its not good for handling by one hand, I bet Samsung is already cooking something for tablets. I think it would make sense in horirizontal handling. hope my comment gets famous for saying it first : )

                                        Samsung is one of the companies (Apple is not one of them) that actually innovates and moves both the market and the competition forward.
