Samsung Galaxy Note Edge SM-N915F

Overview

The Galaxy Note Edge shares many of the same hardware specifications with the Note 4 – like the quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 SoC and fingerprint / heart-rate monitors – but where it differs is the screen which wraps around the right edge of the handset. In terms of software the Edge runs Android 4.4.4 KitKat with Samsung's usual range of apps and interface tweaks on top of it.

While I don’t think the Note Edge is worth buying, who knows what will happen to this same technology down the track. Curved AMOLED displays are certainly worth exploring, and I look forward to what the future may hold.
