The curved screen Galaxy Note Edge currently has very limited features, but all are watching him when I have in my hand. It may be a sign of Galaxy S Edge and future.
Every time I take the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge of my pocket and hold it in my hand, my friends and acquaintances can not hide her face in astonishment. The Galaxy Note Edge is an amazing device has almost all popular specifications Note 4 and adds a curve to the screen that was not seen on the market.
However, no convincing curve and its high price makes him difficult to consider as an option, albeit a device “limited edition”. Worth congratulate Samsung because although I consider that the curved screen still not a need or be of much use, it’s a way of showing how they could be the phone of the future or at least one way in which Samsung reveals its capacity for innovation and development
Editor’s Note. This article is not about knowing all the features or details of Galaxy Note Edge, but from my experience during the time that I have used, specifically focusing on the curved screen. For more details, visit our analysis of the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge here.
The Galaxy Note Edge is not a bad phone or not worthwhile. Actually, it is an excellent phone -. Is practically a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 curvier
Since Samsung introduced its prototype phone at CES 2013 curved, got excited and just waiting for the moment that prototype became reality. Today, this prototype is the Galaxy Note Edge and did not meet my expectations.
The curved screen is very attractive, but also very limited. The display changes normal Android interface, possibly confusing more than one person
The Galaxy Note Edge is the beginning of an innovation we expect to see in the future -. The beginning of cell phones with flexible displays although by the time you are rigid by the protection offered by the glass, give us a peek at the device, at least I dream to fold and put in my pocket and unfolded it to be used and watch a movie or read a book. It may be that for this missing much, but it’s a Samsung step and a muestrita of what we might see in the rumored Samsung Galaxy S Edge.
More curves than the Galaxy Note 4
It is clear that the Galaxy Note’s Edge based on the Galaxy Note 4. The plastic back cover has the same pattern that tries to mimic the leather. Its rear camera is in the same location, like flash and sensor cardiac monitor. Even the Note Edge has the stylus, S Pen, which is stored in the same position (lower right edge).
Also, the front camera, light sensors and proximity, the speaker, the Start button, the connector Micro-USB and headphone remain in the same position. The changes appear mainly in the metal frame (also painted), that on the right is much smaller. This allows the display to be the curvature on the right side, but makes the power button to move to the upper edge of the right side edge and the infrared emitter pass right upper edge to the upper left edge.
Despite having a smaller screen of 5.6 inches ( versus 5.7 inches), the Galaxy Note Edge is wider (8.24mm vs. 7.86mm), making it more difficult to control with one hand and the edge of the curved screen does feel strange – a little digging in the palm of your hand -. And uncomfortable
Also, it seems that the phone is manufactured for right, since its curved screen called Edge, is found only on the right side.
Using the curved screen Edge
curved screen gives you access to apps practically all the time, offers different tools and information, as well as notifications.
The curved screen becomes the basis of your apps faster to access. They are no longer at the bottom as they usually do in Android – at the bottom now you find an icon to call the left side, an icon for the apps drawer on the right and in the middle indicative of the Homepage where you are
If you’re in an app, the bar decreases in size, but if you get a notification or touch to activate, bar cover a portion of the app you’re using. – something that I do not consider convenient. In addition, the bar hinders navigation apps that have hidden the right side that you can open with slide your finger from the edge of the app to the center of the device panels.
Samsung has modified some of their apps to take advantage of this curve screen. But sometimes, it is not indicated and although some may be useful to include menus there on the screen, I do not think always be the best implementation. For example, when you open the camera shutter and other controls are placed on the curved screen. This is nothing comfortable about taking pictures, since the curvature away from the controls of reach.
The Edge screen has its own app store or screens that you can install to seize more. This includes your calendar, bookmarks, sporting events, news, tweets, control music playback, information about your exercise S Health and RAM usage, among others. Not much choice at this time and understand that this is not necessarily the fault of Samsung but limits the use of the screen.
It is possible that over time more developers create apps that are compatible with this curved screen or create panels or screens for her, but for the time is too limited.
Conclusion
The Galaxy Note Edge is just a sample of what Samsung can do with technology, but I think that its curvature does not go much beyond being something that catches your eye. Your price ($ 399 with contract), which is $ 100 more than the Galaxy Note 4, not really justifies its curved screen, but is an excellent device that I would recommend to anyone looking for one of the best phones on the market an innovative body.
Maybe in the future Samsung will present a cell with a curved screen on each side, providing a more symmetrical device that takes greater advantage of those screens. Hopefully by then there is more support from developers and so there are more apps that take advantage of the curved edges. And who knows? Suddenly the rumored Galaxy S Edge could get more out of this curve screen.
