Samsung Galaxy Note Edge Smartphone Review: Pros and Cons You Need to Know, Price, and Specs
Here's our breakdown of everything you need to know about the Samsung Galaxy Note
Edge.
Pros and Cons:
The Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is the first commercial phone from Samsung with a wrap-
around display. The innovative design and the edge screen are the biggest highlight of this
phablet. The 16-MP camera can capture vivid and clear photos and videos. It comes with the S-
Pen stylus, and allows you to run multiple apps simultaneously in a smooth way thanks to its 2.7-
GHz CPU and 3GB of RAM. It comes with a unique super charging feature that allows up to
60% battery charging within half hour. There is an Ultra Power Saving Mode that allows you to
get more out of the battery.
The Samsung Galaxy Note Edge has some cons to it too though. It comes with the same Finger Scanner
as in the Galaxy S5, which sometimes requires users to repeat the unlock process more than once.
Compare that to the iPhone 5S, which requires nothing more than touching the Home Button.
The "edge" screen is quite innovative and elegant but it could be of concern when you don't
want others beside you to view what you are doing on the phone.
Specs:
The Samsung Galaxy Note Edge has a 5.6-inch, 1600x2560-pixel, 524-ppi Super AMOLED
display. It is powered by Android KitKat v4.4.4 and has a 2.7-GHz quad-core Krait 450 CPU.
There are two 32GB and 64GB models with expansion slot for up to 128GB. The Galaxy Note
Edge has a decent 3GB of RAM, a 16-MP primary camera, a 3.7-MP secondary camera and it
weighs 174g.
The phablet smartphone is 8.3mm thick and is available in Black and White color options. It
ships with 50GB of free cloud storage on Dropbox. The phone features the Quick Charge 2.0
tech that enables 60% battery charging within 30 minutes. It has a 3,000 mAh Li-Ion replaceable
battery.
Talking Points:
The Samsung Galaxy Note Edge was introduced during a press conference at the IFA Berlin in
September 2014. It was released in the second week of November 2014. The phablet smartphone
doesn't have a direct predecessor but it sits in the class of the Galaxy Note 4, having most of its
hardware configurations.
T-Mobile is offering the device for "0" down payment with a $36.25 per month plan for 24
months. This makes it T-Mobile's most expensive phone yet.
Prices:
The Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is available at a price of $946 without contract, from AT&T. on
the other hand, T-Mobile is offering it for $870, while Sprint is providing a price of $840.
Conclusion:
If there is one thing about the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, it is that it is expensive. It is
considered to be the "sibling" of the Galaxy Note 4, having almost same features, but costing
around $100-$200 more. If anyone is looking for a unique, wrap-around display and some
powerful features, it may still be worth spending a little more on a phablet like the Galaxy Note
Edge.
