Samsung is perhaps the greatest character in the pre- MWC 2015 (Barcelona, 2 to 5 March). It is expected that the South Korean firm at the event its new flagship phone, the Galaxy S6, equipment on which circulate many rumors, images and any leaked specifications, and the ever present renders .
Another presentation that Samsung would perform in Barcelona has circulated so far under the name Galaxy S6 Edge. As noted, this device would extend the proposal Edge Galaxy Note a phablet Samsung presented at IFA 2014 and it came with a particular sign: a curvature on one side, section useful for managing some features, applications and shortcuts to control the player, among other alternatives, such as we in this review.
A bit of the event that Samsung already scheduled for the first day of March, new reports do focus on the hitherto called Galaxy S6 Edge. In the first instance, as scores Phone Arena , this device come with the following name, unlike the known: Galaxy S Dual Edge . The nickname is in line with the proposal of this terminal, which would have curvatures on both sides
On the other hand, a site report Business Korea realizes the following data.: the curved sections of the Galaxy S Dual Edge not offer as many features as the Galaxy Note Edge . “Not only the double curvature of display Model S Dual Edge will be more modest compared to the Note Edge will also be less complete in terms of functionality,” notes Phone Arena stressing that this meets the first screen will be smaller than the second.
Meanwhile, Korean publication believes that Galaxy S Dual Edge hit the market, although conceptual character. A similar movement had starring the Note Edge, in view of the future of the mobile industry in which the curvatures are common.
The risk, innovation and excellence is what defines the new smartphone premium of Samsung . Conceived to offer the best experience with its two screens, is unique in the market.
José Luis Vega , Director of Marketing for Samsung Mexico , Samsung’s new proposal seeks to open new doors to help users be more productive and communicate better. “With one hand you can drive two displays at once and have both your stories as different applications: one hotbar, recorder, etc. Just as you have on your smartphone but in a more accessible way, “he said.
De la Vega says that this is the future of smartphones: the incorporation of the second side screen to notify us of everything without having to turn on or turn around the phone. “There are a Twitter application with which you receive all your social networking feeds. If you mark, here you can answer, sends you notifications agenda; every time you have a notification, it will mark; if there is a pending message WhatsApp, it will indicate. You will most apps on your phone, but the secret is that while you work on something else can monitor other activities, “said José Luis exclusively for GQ .
He stressed that the advantage of placing the second screen to the right side curvature is because there is better use. As most right-handed people and be accustomed to using your phone with one hand, place it on the right is like the user experience is maximized. “On the other hand, when you want to watch videos, having the curved screen gives you a very similar feeling to HD screens. You feel as if you meddle in the image. All this is part of the design and technology we generate. ”

The Nissan Note , how a family compact 5-door model, youthful profile, will perform in Argentina on late March. Waiting for pricing and precise detail of equipment, this report will anticipate some of the main features of the Note for the local market …
The Note will arrive in Argentina from Mexico . There, in the Aguascalientes plant, is produced for the American market using the same structural basis of models March and Versa . This is the platform that Nissan called “V” , for “versatility”.
The engine of the Note is naftera 1.6-liter, 4-cylinder, 16-valve, the same as Assembles March and Versa encoded internally as HR16DE. In the latter two models, the power is 107 hp at 5,600 rpm. But in the case of Note rises in 3 horses, up to 110 hp at 6,000 rpm . The difference is in the double injection Note multipoint sequential versus simple March and Versa. And here, an additional detail: in Mexico, Nissan says 106 horses and 109 March-Versa for Note. The difference is that there used HP (horsepower) and Argentina, Nissan stated in CV (horsepower). Therefore, the final number of official power for our country will be 110 hp.
arrive from Mexico with 1.6 naftera double injection engine and 110 hp.
Technically and explains the Japanese, the double injection consists of ” nozzles spray particles smaller than about 57% thinner than the particle size of conventional injector, creating a more efficient combustion “. In addition, the engine Note has Control of Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVTC) intake and exhaust.
Transmission choices in Argentina will Manual of 5 speed or Automatic CVT Xtronic continuously variable , the latter only for the Exclusive version, the most equipped of the range. Meanwhile, management has Variable-assist power according to speed. And the fuel tank capacity is 41 liters .
Security , the Note will offer to our country provided as standard brake system anti-lock (ABS), electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) and emergency assistance (BA) with dual front airbags. The front brakes are disc and rear, a drum. It will also be equipped with Isofix to the correct restraint for child seats. At least in Mexico, the Note is equipped with Five ELR seatbelts three fixing points , although only four head restraints. It remains to be seen whether the same is replicated units arriving to our country
The Note measured 4.14 meters long. Its closest rival segment is the Honda Fit.
The entry-level version, called Sense , also include in Argentina system “Smart Key” with boot button and alloy wheels 15 inches. The offer in our market will continue to version Advance , while Exclusive is the top model.

In security, adds front fog lamps.
Note measured 4.14 meters long with a long wheelbase of 2.60 meters . Charged high and 1.54 m width, 1.69 meters. For reference, the Honda Fit its chief rival segment- reaches only 3.90 m long considering the model comericaliza today in Argentina, while the new generation Fit, which would arrive during the second half, grew to 3.99 meters long. The capacity of the trunk reaches Note 272 liters , as stated Nissan Mexico, volume can be extended refuting the 60/40 rear seatbacks. For the Mexican market, the spare tire is temporary
It remains for the exact provision of equipment in Argentina (illustrative photo).
In Mexico, the Note also offered in version SR , which proposes sporty look, with side skirts, special wheels, rear spoiler and other distinguishing details. But in Argentina the range will be made only through the options already mentioned: Sense, Advance and Exclusive
As noted at the beginning, the Note will a new model of Nissan. in Argentina , but globally it is a product with more than a decade of history , since its inception in 2004 with the first generation. After some updates “half-life”, the second generation of the Note was launched in 2012, and from there began the Mexican production from Aguascalientes to United States, Canada and Latin America. The other plants now produce the Note are in Japan (Kyushu) and UK (Sunderland).

Today we released a new section on Hypertext in which recommend a anime as we approach the weekend . For the first time, I decided to talk about one that has been the gateway for many of those who once looked with skepticism to this world. Usually recommend seeing any series, movie or anime in its original version, but this time dubbing was done in Spanish seemed fantastic, so I leave it to consumer tastes.
Plot
The shinigami (god of death) use the powers of some notebooks called Death Note to kill human life and increase their own life expectancy. The history of anime begins when a shinigami named Ryuk, dropped into the human world of boredom one of the two Death Note possessing .
Anyone who picks happens to be the student brightest from all over Japan, Light Yagami. This 17 year old (if not mistaken) is tired of a world full of injustice, criminals and in the first moments of the series he notes his contempt with phrases like “this world is rotten” . When you find the book thinks it’s silly, but still decides to take it. When he gets home read your instructions:
How to use
The person whose name be written in this book will die
.
The notebook will not take effect unless you write it keep in mind the face of the person to write his name. Thus, it will not affect other people with the same name.
The cause of death can always specify which type of human time 40 seconds after writing the name. Otherwise, the person perish of a heart attack
After specifying the cause of death are given 6 minutes and 40 seconds to indicate the exact circumstances of it.
When you see on the news that a murderer has abducted a nursery eight children and their teacher, decides to test his power , skeptical. Write the name of the murderer in the book and after 40 seconds, the murderer drops dead of a heart attack, leaving the hostages healthy and sound.
This world is rotten
The story begins to take shape when Ryuk, days later, appears to Light Yagami , amazed, as this seems to have taken a lot out the notebook during those days. Light tells Ryuk thinks rid the world of humans who only do evil, of the murderers and the dregs of society to create a utopia in which there will be only good people, he thus becoming the god and judge of this new world. At that moment Ryuk understands that boredom has come to an end
Two types of justice
Death Note is essentially a psychological thriller , in which we see a mental battle like a game of chess it were between the protagonist, Light Yagami, and detectives who try to catch his father among them. Death Note teaches two different forms of justice. The first is the one that wants to impart our protagonist using the Death Note and the second, which taught law enforcement.
Light Yagami wants to become the god of the new world
It is an anime where the mental agility of the characters and unexpected turns of events keep us glued to the screen under constant voltage . We will witness numerous scenes that show us the mental reasoning of the protagonist and the detectives, we must stress that it is not an action anime. I consists of 37 chapters lasting 22 minutes or so and has been brought to the big screen as a trilogy, filmed with real people with an argument that evolves different from the anime.
Death Note is an anime where moral depending on the viewer, will be supporting a different side. And you, what side are you on?

The note is in fact British made – the model is produced with the Juke, Qashqai and electrical sheet plant in Sunderland Company
Finally comes to our country one of the smartphones in the category of phablets most powerful and innovative market in the hands of the South Korean brand Samsung, the Galaxy Note Edge.
This phone has most benefits of Galaxy Note 4 but with a curved edge screen that allows you to maximize space for access to multitask functions.
As for technical specifications, this team has a screen 5.6 “Super AMOLED HD + Quad, 16 MP rear camera, front 3.7, the familiar S Pen, quad-core processor at 2.7 Ghz, Android 5.0.1, ability to record videos at UHD, 32 GB of internal memory expandable 64 through a micro SD card, 3000 mAh battery and innovative lateral curvature focused on renewing the interaction with the user.
It should be noted that the design is comfortable when handling, making it intuitive and versatile If we add that its shape is quite aesthetic, we are definitely at the peak experience of Note range.
The interesting thing about this concept is that the menu’s side is completely customizable and allows us to select applications of our choice.
As far as safety is emphasized that the phone has the protection of fingerprint itself that prevents someone from outside can access our content.
His power is such that in AnTuTu benchmark tests, is above terminals caliber Nexus 6 50906 points, this is reflected at the time of use, fluid feeling when running multiple applications at the same time.
paragraph Emphasizing the S Pen-like the Note 4, the pen allows us to take note on virtually any screen, so we cut and subsequently share through an email, social networks or even per post . An interesting thing about this feature is that if you select something that includes text, the computer recognizes it and is able to transfer itself to an email, even if it’s a date, we can put on our agenda directly as a new event without typing anything.
No doubt this phone is one of the most interesting concepts in the category of phablets and by far its lateral edge may set a trend for those seeking a terminal focused on productivity or creative areas, facilitating mobility

depth, dip, exterior insulation … The benefits of virtual reality are well known, but the Korean Samsung has taken another step closer to the general public for an immersive mobile experience not seen before in the industry .
With a well designed comfortable helmet, the VR Gear Samsung are basically a support for one of its flagships, the ‘phablet’ Galaxy Note 4 to be attached inside to work and after extracted without further for use as such.
Still, the glasses themselves can adjust the focus, manage content playback and hardware and software to move into the scene being played in the Note 4.
created by the hand of Oculus, the benchmark in the world of virtual reality, VR also offer store own content established by this firm, which was acquired by Facebook and creates films and shorts for this type of helmets.
They are particularly spectacular games, but is also possible to see any movie we pretending we’re in a movie theater or watch videos and photos saved in the ‘smartphone’ with Amazing effect of virtual reality.
Optimized with a high resolution screen, Samsung Gear VR also incorporates sensors to recreate the movement of the head in virtual reality experiences and need not be reloaded, as it does not have with own battery. They also have 96 degree field of view and focal adjustment for people with hyperopia or myopia.
In short, it’s an immersive experience where you can immerse yourself in the scene, be part of it and look at it from different angles, and even interact with everything around him, unlimited frames.
This is the first big step for lovers of virtual reality, but yes, only its continued use is recommended during thirty minutes. They will be on sale from the 20th, at a suggested price of 249 euros.
Definitely to be queen, you have to bear all, as insults, hunger and even pain. Yes folks, pain, if you do not believe me, just look at him face to Queen Street Down Tables, whom they had to get off the float to accommodate the top of disguise, because the girl could not stand the load.
Once solved the problem, sovereign returned to his throne to throw kisses.
Before being lowered, many gasped in Porras Park of Las Tablas when it appeared the phoenix . Gabriela Garrido
The colors, plumage and creativity of the float of Calle Abajo were lucid; although in the corner of Bolivar shouted all, the queen kept dancing and enjoying the carnival.
Irina Vargas, designer of the float, said he was inspired by Hawaii, the goddess Pele and as the story goes, this goddess representing fire, lightning and was responsible for the eruptions of volcanoes. Oh, mother, who will burst! Oops!
A Calle Arriba should not take brilliance, not masters, because the queen is still falling, her outfit was inspired by Venice and her head was up in the tower of Paris. See, many bellaquera, spectacular was her that!
One thing that has been noticed and discussed many is that both Saturday and Sunday could walk the culeco in Las Tablas, as many feel that the People were scattered in different parts of the country, since La Villa and Chitre more people than in previous years hoard.
My Javier Merchan analyzed in great detail the basis of this Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, the great Samsung Galaxy Note 4 , so that this analysis only discuss in depth the changes I have experienced in the Edge respect to their older brother or those that I consider relevant treat even, briefly, because it would be redundant to mention the rest. If you want to know thoroughly the photographic section or special interface TouchWiz for this range, or recommend reading the analysis of my partner.
First, the material of the back cover, which although improved, still looks like a cheap plastic (and a terminal 900 €) versus old finishes Samsung itself, as found in the Samsung Galaxy Wave or R (or the edges of Note 4 and Note Edge itself, now anodized aluminum). As the speaker, also I have some complaints. I think the power is enough for what I need from a phone, but its position again not be the most appropriate, and lacks serious to give a more accurate sound. Nor do I think it was a good idea to move the power button at the top . I understand that at the edge could not be integrated, and the home button allows you to switch from the bottom, but when you want to turn off the Galaxy Note Edge, will cost us much to reach the top with one hand (and cost with shorter terminals, as the HTC One). Ideally, in my opinion, have been implemented double click on and, above all, to turn the style of LG.
The screen is very good , like the Galaxy Note 4. Of course, like all recent amoleds have a somewhat warmer white and alter colors to look good in the sun, compared to IPS that look perfectly at maximum brightness while maintaining fidelity. We should add a curious negative detail. The two units of Samsung Galaxy Note White Edge I could try presenting light leakage , not on the panel, but around the screen, as a result, probably, of poor workmanship. As for the controversy over 2K resolution on mobile, I think that unlike other models with screens IPS, here it is justified, since the PenTile matrix of this screen makes the actual density of this panel is between 350 ppi and 370, compared with 273 (below 300 recommended) Galaxy Note 3 or 306 of the Galaxy S5. Thus, sharpness is finally live up to what we find in IPS . The battery is a weakness compared to Galaxy Note 4 , since, losing only 0.1 “r educes battery 220 mAh. Thus, the results are nothing brilliant for a phone of its kind in 2014, being somewhat inconsistent and staying on average 5 hours screen without being too demanding, overcome from the Galaxy Note 2. There is one catch, but expected more.
camera is also another highlight (same as in Note 4 Sony IMX240 sensor with optical stabilizer) and, in my opinion, is the best we can find in Android today. Samsung has software camera, with his image processor (ISP), best result achieved in terms of processing on Android and something that see in the photo we took. Day get much vividness, detail and good dynamic range, and at night, although weakens, we can improve shots with manual mode.
Software
The software Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is, except for the added edge, the same as found in Note 4. Plasma good ideas like using the multi-window in different provisions and added the S-Pen (the auntentico Note hallmark of the line), but, from my point of view and experience watching other users are rarely used, and pure hobby, is more accurate than ever, and sometimes take a note or drawing is a welcome experience. I had a few months original Galaxy Note, and has little longer to do with that, the S-Pen now it is a professional tool
No embarto, as does the Galaxy Note 4 TouchWiz optimization is still not the strong point of Samsung . Although performs very well with games or other demanding applications, fails on the most mundane details showing frequent slowdowns when opening apps or reload the web content downloaded while we scroll in the browser (both own Samsung and Chrome) on simple websites.
Today, still seems incredible that any Samsung to acquire comes with a home button that presents lagged , which can only be solved if we disable power to launch S-Voice from it with double click. As I said above, this is compounded when we consider that the Galaxy Note Edge has an official price of € 900 and hardware consists of a Snapdragon 805 and 3 GB of RAM.
edge
We arrived at the key point of analysis. The aspect that you would buy or not the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge on the spectacular Note 4. I will summarize briefly before entering depth: not only that the edge does not contribute almost nothing to the user experience is that after a few days using it depth wish they were not there , and if you have paid the difference, you return the money and stay in Note 4.
What we first find the normal use interface is that, in the edge region, a black line is annoying occupy half leaving underutilized space so that very unsightly. I understand that stretch the normal interface so there would be uncomfortable and distort the image, but the solution is inelegant.
Samsung sells the edge as a space for shortcuts, but when we use it, what we really perceive is that the really “useful” in it is its function alternate notifications panel. Given the size of the terminal, it is true that achieving the notification bar can be annoying, so stay notices there can be a success, but also the terminal is not ergonomic at the rear edge (completely straight) , so use with one hand is almost a utopia.
However, if we are intensive users of messaging applications or receive many notifications, the receive notifications is really uncomfortable. We may be writing eg WhatsApp with the black line on the right, but a notification, for example, arrives Facebook or Telegram, it will occupy the entire right edge covering the submit button WhatsApp, so if at that time We were about to send the message, change application unintentionally, which is very annoying, intrusive and makes us want to disable this function.
Imagine that normally using mobile’ll click an icon of an app and a millisecond before him put another on top, so you will not go where you wanted. Too bad I thought. As notifications mirror, we also found there playback controls music apps, yes are comfortable for its accessibility and proximity to the hand, and the possibility of picking up and hanging up calls. During the call shows the duration and other options.
As for what to shortcuts, is good to switch between applications, but since that is their primary function and we usually switch between applications we have in the multitasking option, nor is it something that comes to fill an important gap. If for whatever reason we like it that way, android no long applications that replicate the function, hiding in one of the sides. Slipping from them, we get a small drawer vertical applications, without taking up a border permanently.
But not only that, the edge has more features. As we have seen, with the app open chamber, it becomes the area where the buttons shutter are located, which is not bad but not great news, because it has less visibility outdoors the normal screen, and could not see what to press with light. Samsung also offers other panels between which we can do side-scrolling (like we notifications to access apps, for example) and trending topics on Twitter , sports scores and weather forecast and other curious features as countdown, stopwatch, a rule or consumer panels with information and data available RAM.
Beyond that, there is virtually any application that supports what Samsung called Revolving UX , so that the edge transmits only redound or OVERLAP function as though Samsung has been removed the lower TouchWiz launcher dock, with others like Nova or Action surely repeat shortcuts.
Another thing that is there, nor contribute anything, is the ability to put text or drawings on the edge , both the black line and the lock screen. What I dislike is that the source can not be changed, and breaks the aesthetics of the panel itself a little, since the source is different from the other ones we see displayed. Even if we change the system font, there will be consistency with the font. Taking advantage of the panel is SuperAMOLED and consumption on black background is negligible, Samsung allows us to activate a night clock mode on edge, but only for 12 hours, which can be chosen by the user. I suspect that unlike other similar ways as the “Glance” Nokia, turn it off to avoid burned and withholdings.
Provision for lefties Galaxy Note Edge
Another controversial launch of Galaxy Note Edge was that no model for left , to which Samsung said yes, the Edge does not need it, because the software is ready for them. The proposed solution again is inelegant. Mode operation is simple, flip the mobile and thus turn the interface. What do we get? The speaker calls down (so to call’ll have to flip the phone) and the home button above, with a navigation bar at the bottom enabled the Nexus style to meet the capacitive buttons. Something that, as shown in picture above, is far from finished to a left handed person wants to purchase to use at all hours phone.
Conclusion

Note that you get the Samsung Galaxy Note is a 5.5 Edge. “If you is the same terminal as a Galaxy Note 4 with the unique added edge” will think. And yes, it’s the same except for the edge. Y Note represents the value of the edge, which adds to the purchase of a Galaxy Note 4 . With it, the best Android Samsung released the year, while the Note Edge not only adds nothing, but makes the experience much worse. That’s the main thing from my point of view there is to know, it’s an experiment that leads nowhere, with which he is made to pay more to the public due to investment in research and the point of exclusivity.
As terminal repeat, is the best we can find in the market. But he, alone, should make one thing the Galaxy Note 4. And this introduces, again, gives no satisfaction to most users and me in particular . No doubt that in the future there will be more application for this type of display, but right now I think something as meaningless as the LG 3D in his day. I am in favor of innovation and everything that can contribute to enhance the mobile phone, but I think everything that comes must be invisible and grow our experience without compromise. In this case, the worst is that the user has to make a sacrifice ergonomics, practicality and economy. Therefore, no excites me too the future of mobile with curved edges, at least from this approach.
Pros
Base : The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has the best hardware of the year Android, and here is what saves the Note Edge
Software :. Samsung remains ahead as far as approach big screen (with own software) refers.
Cons
edge : As we said, if the main point in favor of a device like it’s not there, there is a serious problem
optimization : Repeats every analysis of a Samsung terminal. Gross as the most power, but slowdowns in simple tasks
Price . If we consider that the Note 4 costs 150 € less, we end up wondering why the additional outlay.
