We were all sick to see the
same look over and over by Samsung. Users wanted to see something new so here
it is, Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, the best look ever designed by Samsung. The one
side curve look where menu bar can be listed out is something beyond the imagination. Samsung has too much expectation from it and people won’t let
it down.
Inspired by the other companies
who were launching curved phone or bending phone, Samsung found it somewhat
useful to create totally new design. Also Samsung was getting too much
competition from phones like Apple iPhone 6, Xiaomi MI3, LG G3 and Sony Xperia Z3. Although recently Samsung had launched Samsung Galaxy Note 4 but to compete with all these brands it was necessary to launch Samsung Galaxy Note Edge.
Looks and Design:
As mention earlier, the phone
will come with an asymmetric design and totally new interface. The curved screen
on right edge can be called as second screen as it works independent of the
main screen.
The second screen measures 2560 x 1600 pixels. They call it a revolving UI. You can view notifications, apps here. The main screen has a 5.6 inch quad HD super AMOLED display with a pixel density of 524 ppi. It ensures vivid color display. A left handed person may turn the screen upside down but then hardware buttons would relocate to the top.
The specifications are almost
the same as Galaxy note 4. To add to the functionality, Samsung has improvised
the S-pen that can improve your multi-tasking abilities.
Camera Quality:
16
MP of primary camera is provided with features like simultaneous video
recording, image recording, dual shot and geo-tagging. It also features OIS(optical image stabilization). The images show much better quality because of f1.9 which lets in sixty percent more light.
Operating System:
It runs on a customized Android
4.4. kitkat. It is also expected to receive a lollipop update. It also has the
standard touchwiz layer. It also has a fingerprint sensor. It has a split
screen mode that can resize app windows and aide multi-tasking.
Battery and Storage:
Battery is a 3000 mAh Lithium
polymer (non-removable) which is quite decent and may last an entire day on
full charge. Storage is 128 GB internal. RAM given is 3 GB.
Processing/Clock Speed:
Quad core Snapdragon 801 processor is quite impressive. Clock speed is 2.7 GHz. All this ensures speedy swapping between apps, lag-free gaming and navigation.

Final Conclusion:
Samsung is taking creativity to
a new level by using its bending OLEDs in such a crafty manner. But
prospective users may not see any point in buying it because the phone is
simply Galaxy Note 4 plus the curved screen and the surplus cost is whopping
100 dollars. So until and unless the revolving UI evolves to make a significant
difference, users might just opt for Note 4.
