With the news and the release of Apple's iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, other phone companies are getting overshadowed and their phones are getting little to no recognition. Out of all of the other phone manufacturing companies, the only company that can compete with Apple is Samsung. Earlier this year Samsung released their next sequel to the Galaxy Note family, the Galaxy Note 4. Along with the announcement of the Note 4, Samsung announced another phone that will share the Note family tree. This phone is called the Galaxy Note Edge. This phone has gotten little buzz since its announcement because, essentially, the Note Edge is very similar to the Note 4. They have the same amount of features with the Note Edge having a bit more features. The differences between both phones are the small dimension changes, Note Edge is slimmer for an obvious reason that I will talk about later. Other differences are features like: battery life, screen size, and processor options.
The "edge" that the Note Edge has to the Note 4 is the biggest feature difference between both phones. The Note Edge has a curved edge on the right side of the phone that can be used in different ways and can be customized to one's particular liking. The biggest use of the toolbar on the phone are the notifications that appear on it. The toolbar makes it hard for users to not know if they got a new notification from any resource they get notifications from. Since the notifications have been moved to the new toolbar, called the Edge screen, users can focus on the main screen without random interruptions from notifications. Other uses for the Edge screen are: clock/timer application, ruler, light, recorder, and fitness information. As stated above, one can customize this Edge screen to fit them as a person.
If users want to get their hands on the Note Edge then they are going to have to wait since the phone has not been released yet and is yet to have a release date. The Note 4 on the other hand is available now. What is your preference, Note Edge or Note 4?

The Note Edge is the better performer here in regards to the Note 4. There's not a lot of change with the Note 4 compared to the Note 3 with the exception of better processing power, a few cool features, and a larger screen. The Note Edge is on sale now at Best Buy, but I've not seen as many ads for it as the Note 4. Possibly because most may think of the Edge as a gimmick sort of like how the curved UHD sets are considered by many a gimmick.
ReplyDeleteThis brings me back to the case of UHD sets. Is it better to go flat or is it better to go curve. In both this and that case, the curved screen and the curved edge are the wiser choice. One makes viewing TV more immersive and the other provides you a feature that negates unnecessary distractions by changing the placement of notifications, time, etc. You get more screen real estate with the Note Edge.
