The Samsung Galaxy Note Edge: A Revolutionary Twist on a Familiar Design

If you were hoping for something truly different from Samsung, you pretty much got it right here. The Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is a unique device that embodies the brand's commitment to innovation and pushing boundaries. For all intents and purposes, the Note Edge is the Galaxy Note 4 inside and out. It even comes with its own S Pen, a feature that has become synonymous with the Note series.

The Note Edge shares the same powerful processing package as its predecessor, along with a high-resolution screen. However, it's the addition of an edge on the right side that sets this device apart from others in the market. The button layout is still present on the left, and the power button has been moved to the top, making room for the curved display. The backing of the device still features Samsung's signature faux leather textured plastic, which provides a real Note feel.

One of the most exciting features of the Note Edge is its curve. This area can be used to perform a multitude of tasks, as demonstrated in the video transcription. By swiping from the very edge of the screen or the actual curve itself, users will gain access to various panels that provide information at their fingertips. The main application for this feature is the shortcut area, where users can launch different applications with ease and even access camera controls when the camera is open.

As users scroll through the different panels, they'll notice a wealth of information available to them. It's almost like a ticker of sorts that appears on screen at all times if desired. This allows users to stay up-to-date on news, watch videos on YouTube, or catch trending topics on Twitter. The Twitter panel is already being utilized by developers, who are working hard to create even more experiences with the edge feature.

Another innovative aspect of the Note Edge is its ability to have controls in the little curve area. When activated, this feature allows users to access tools and functions without taking up any real estate on the screen. This means that users can fully immerse themselves in videos or other content without interruptions. The touch sensitivity remains consistent with expectations, and there's even a functionality for having a clock mode or night mode.

This feature works by simply rubbing the curve while the device is in standby mode. In this state, users will still have access to all of their panels and information at their fingertips. This is something that people might find useful on their nightstands, making it easy to glance at the time or check notifications without having to fully wake up their phone. The Note Edge also features tools underneath for various different functions, adding to its overall utility.

The Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is a testament to the company's commitment to innovation and pushing boundaries in design. While it may feel like a limited edition of the Note 4, with the addition of an edge that sets this device apart from others in the market. It has the same type of build quality as its predecessor but does bring something unique to the table.

Ultimately, the Note Edge is a device that will capture the attention of those looking for a cutting-edge smartphone experience. Its blend of familiar design and innovative features make it an exciting addition to Samsung's lineup.

galaxy note edge now for all intents and purposes the no edge is the galaxy note 4 inside and out it even has its own s pen as it does have the note moniker and it has the same processing package the same powerful processing package underneath with the high resolution screen but it is in that side that you're going to see that well since there's an edge on the right side we have the button layout on the left and also the power button is now up top since you have to make room for that curve on the side and the backing is still of that faux leather that textured plastic that gives it the real note feel that we've come to expect since the note 3. but obviously the change comes with that curve on the side and it's basically an area that you will be able to perform a lot of different tasks as you can see right here it is obviously a place that i had some shortcuts on but once you swipe from the very edge of the screen or from the very edge of the actual curve itself you will be able to sip through a number of different panels that will give you some information now we have seen quite a few different ones already the main application being the shortcut area where you'll be able to launch different applications easily and even have the camera controls there when you have the camera opened up but as you scroll through all of the different panels you'll see that you'll have a lot of information available it's almost like a ticker of sorts that will be there at all times if you so choose for it to be so so you can get the news while you're watching a video on youtube or you'll be able to see your tweets and all of the trending topics coming up on that little panel using the twitter panel there are a lot of developers already hard at work to create even more experiences with that panel and we're sure that the list will really expand through time and give you even more functionality on this edge and here's another function where you're able to actually have the controls in that little curve up there so that when you have it available activated it won't take up any of the real estate on the screen allowing you to really take advantage of the video itself and not interrupt your viewing experience and you can see here that the touch sensitivity on there is still about what you would expect and also there's this functionality right here where you can have a clock mode a night mode in which you just rub the curve while it is in standby and you'll still be able to access all the different panels in just that one little area even when the entire rest of the screen is off this is obviously something that we would expect to see people have on their nightstands make it easy for you to have a little bit of a clock using your phone and by using that curve on the side you also have tools underneath for various different functions but ultimately it's a nice little innovation on top of what is already a very established note line and is a different take on the kind of information you can have when using now a curved display which samsung is a bit of a pioneer on at this point we don't know exactly what markets the note edge will be going to but we've basically been told that it's going to be like a limited edition of the note 4 itself and it does certainly feel like it as it has the same type of build quality but this time this curve really adds
