Meet the New Samsung Galaxy Note Edge

Just a few days ago at the IFA 2014, Samsung Mobile announced a new smart phablet, the latest among its popular Note
series, the Note Edge. The device was announced alongside the Note 4 and latest in the Samsung smartwatch series (Gear VR and S).

Clearly Samsung has been busy preparing these past months for the IFA 2014 to again express and assert its dominance in the 'smart-world'.

A number of other smart phone manufacturers unveiled very impressive devices, but lets take a look at Samsung's creation.

Features at a Glance

Curved Edge:

This is certainly the catcher and the most obvious physical feature of the new Note Edge smartphone. It spots a curved edge (as the Name indicates) where notifications show.


Large screen:

Though the device screen looks a bit smaller than that of Note 3, but this is only as a result of bezel reduction...the actual screen size seems uniform with its predecessor's.


Highlights 

  • Fingerprint sensor, barometer, UV sensor...
  • Large Storage (32 and 64 Gb variants)
  • 3.7 MP secondary Camera
  • Android 4.4.4 kitkat
  • Bluetooth v4.1


Downsides

  • Reduced Battery Capacity (3000mAh VS 3200mAh in Note 3)
  • Increased weight
