Introduction
Experiments are great but it takes manufacturing prowess to follow
them all the way to the retail shelves. Samsung have it - no surprise
there - and they pulled it off, bringing the Galaxy Note Edge to stores.
Never mind that curved screen looks like a concept. The Galaxy Note 4,
which was used as a base, will otherwise continue to offer the flagship
experience, sans the experimental features.
The Galaxy Note Edge
features a 5.6" QHD+ screen - a little smaller than the Galaxy Note 4
screen up front, but with 160px worth of an added strip on the right
side of the device. This "Edge screen" is subtly curved outwards but
connected with the main screen - in fact, they are one piece in terms of
hardware, though the software handles them separately for added
functionality.
We'll discuss the software additions in detail, as for the basics
you're basically looking at a Galaxy Note 4 with a Snapdragon 805
chipset - this includes everything from the S Pen stylus to the heart
rate and SpO2 sensors.
