Samsung Galaxy Note Edge Curvy, Cool, Curious

Seems odd how they orientated the text on the curve. You'd have to have your phone face down to read the text on the side. I always try to avoid placing my phone face down from fear of the screen scratching.
 
Now that we have flexible OLED, it would be nice for them to wrap screens around a bit more, putting the bezels on the sides. We could have a true bezel-less display.
 
...more gimmicks from Samsung. How did that watch turn out?..lol

The Gear 2? Great! I wear mine everyday, and will continue to wear a smartwatch for the rest of my life...

Did YOU try one yet? I expect not...
 
Samsung haters lol. Wait till I go to town on the craphone 6 next week, going to give it my all and then some. The Note Edge will be my next phone for at least another year since I upgrade every year.
 
when samsung creates familiar looking phone, people shut it down, saying nothing is new. now that there's something new, the same thing happens, if you don't want to buy it don't. im just happy someone is trying to bring in something new.
 
This phone would work really well with Windows Phone too as they already incorporate a side bar on the right... There are rumours that new WP devices are coming before Christmas, if nothing is as cool as the edge then I may just go for that instead, I have waited too long as it is for WP.
 
Correction to author of this article: MicroSD card can add up to 128GB of additional storage.

I love the new Note 4 Edge, but was extremely disappointed in the 'regular' Note 4. Seems more like a very minor incremental upgrade. Whereas, the Edge gives me just enough reason to buy one. Samsung is going to find out quickly that their regular Note 4 is going to be a failure. With the iPhone 6 just around the corner and it's availability guaranteed at launch, Samsung is going to be sucking in the fumes of rapidly growing Apple sales figures. Let's not forget to mention Samsung's absolutely horrible and sloppy product release presentation yesterday. I am not an Apple fanboy, so I would hate to see Samsung fail here, but they are being very sloppy right now in their overall sales strategy and product sales marketing...
 
I wonder why they didn't do this on both sides, it would look even more awesome, and add even more possibilities in UI design and usability and screen real estate.

It's more than likely a "watch this space" type of strategic move - Next one may be all screen with 3 curved sides. Who knows... I quite like what Samsung is doing though, this is a nice idea and could work out very well for them in terms of Professionals who may want to get RSS-type feeds about different automated processes they're responsible for. What about using it as a visual indicator about the type of message that has come through - if the message has been deemed to be "important" then make the background glow red or something. There are so many ways to use this added space.
 
As nifty as the premise is, I don't know how well it will catch on. While I do greatly enjoy and appreciate my Note 3, I don't see this version of the note to be all that viable to me personally nor do I feel the very slight changes made internally to be worth it in terms of an upgrade. Perhaps when I get an opportunity to see and use this first hand will I truly consider it.
