Geralmente as variantes são os mesmos modelos do aparelho com algumas características e especificações diferentes, como a quantidade de memória interna, processador ou apenas as frequências 3G/4G/5G que podem ser diferentes dependendo do país onde o Samsung Galaxy Note Edge é todas as versões do Samsung Galaxy Note Edge. Compare os modelos e saiba quais são as características que diferem uma versão da outra na ficha técnica completa. Conheça o smartphone Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, que tem design inovador e bom 4G, 3G e Wi-FiProcessador quad core de 2,7GHz3GB de RAMTela Quad HDNosso especialista destacaGalaxy Note Edge é o primeiro Samsung a ter continuação da tela em uma das adotar um design diferenciado na tela do smartphone Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, a marca saiu na frente dos concorrentes. Só de você olhar as fotos, vai dar para perceber bem que a tela do Galaxy Note Edge tem continuidade em uma das bordas. Essa parte a mais serve como uma espécie de barra de atalhos para aplicativos. Quando você abrir a câmera do Galaxy Note Edge, por exemplo, as opções ficam nessa barra, deixando mais espaço livre na tela. Ainda falando sobre o design do Galaxy Note Edge, os botões laterais que ficavam no lugar da continuação da tela agora estão na parte de cima do smartphone. Já a traseira do Galaxy Note Edge tem um acabamento que parece couro, assim como no Galaxy Note 4. E como a tela é o grande destaque do Galaxy Note Edge, a Samsung caprichou na resolução, que é Quad HD, ou seja, maior que Full HD, com 2560x1440 pixels, sem contar com o material, que é Super AMOLED, deixando as cores bastante vivas. Para usar a tela de 5,6 polegadas com mais facilidade, o Galaxy Note Edge vem com a caneta S Pen. Além disso, esse smartphone Samsung tem leitor de digital, que é ideal para só você poder desbloquear o aparelho ou ainda pagar contas online de forma mais segura. No desempenho, o Galaxy Note Edge não decepciona, já que tem processador quad core de 2,7GHz e 3GB de RAM, o que é suficiente para rodar até aplicativos mais pesados, ou mesmo realizar mais de uma tarefa ao mesmo tempo. Mais um detalhe importante é o armazenamento do Galaxy Note Edge. Você pode escolher se quer o aparelho com 32GB ou com 64GB, e ainda vai poder comprar um cartão de memória de até 128GB para ter mais espaço. Outros destaques do Galaxy Note Edge são as câmeras, sendo a frontal com resolução de 3,7MP e a traseira de 16MP, ambas capazes de fazer fotos boas, mas a primeira mais indicada para videochamadas e retratos para publicar nas redes sociais, por exemplo. O Galaxy Note Edge vem com o Android e conta com conexões sem fio como Bluetooth e NFC - esta última serve para fazer pagamentos usando o celular como cartão de crédito. Por falar em conexão, ele acessa a internet por 4G, 3G e Wi-Fi. E, claro, não poderia ficar de fora o "Fast Charging" do Galaxy Note Edge, que carrega 50% da bateria do aparelho em 30 minutos. E quando você estiver ficando sem carga, pode optar pelo modo de economia de bateria. Com tela grande e caneta que ajuda a fazer anotações rapidamente, o Galaxy Note Edge é mais um aparelho da marca ideal para quem precisa de um celular para trabalhar. Mas apesar da ideia da tela na lateral ser inovadora, o modo como se segura o aparelho deverá ser um pouco diferente, para evitar que você toque nela sem querer. 11 Un smartphone avec une partie de son écran courbée ? C'est le pari de Samsung avec le Galaxy Note Edge, une reprise du récent Galaxy Note 4 avec ce petit quelque chose en plus. Mais est-ce bien suffisant et pertinent ? Présentation Samsung tente, expérimente. Après avoir imposé sur le marché le format "phablette" avec le premier Galaxy Note et redonné quelques lettres de noblesse au stylet, puis avoir jaugé timidement en Corée les écrans courbés avec le Galaxy Round, le Coréen revient avec un concept qui propose un peu des deux. Soit le Galaxy Note Edge qui, comme son nom et sa forme l'indiquent, est une variation du dernier Galaxy Note 4 auquel on aurait arrondit le bord droit de l'écran vers l'extérieur. Une proposition visuellement étonnante et un positionnement résolument très haut de gamme puisque Samsung fixe un tarif indicatif de 849 €, soit 100 € de plus que le Note 4 à sa ou presque de ce dernier, le Galaxy Note Edge dispose donc d'un écran de 5,6 pouces 0,1 pouce de moins que le Note 4, courbé et avec une définition WQHD de 2560 x 1440 pixels, une puce mobile quadricœur Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 cadencée à 2,7 GHz, une mémoire vive de 3 Go, une capacité de stockage de 32 Go extensible via l'ajout d'une carte microSD jusqu'à 128 Go supplémentaires et deux capteurs photo-vidéo, l'un de 3,7 Mpx à l'avant, l'autre de 16 Mpx à l'arrière et stabilisé. NFC, Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac MIMO double bande, Bluetooth capteur d'empreinte digitale, cardio-fréquencemètre, compatibilité 4G LTE catégorie 5 débit jusqu'à 300 Mb/s, GPS et GLONASS et stylet S-Pen 2048 points de pression avec interaction travaillée par Wacom... autant de caractéristiques venues du Note 4 et qui font, de fait, du Galaxy Note Edge une vraie bête de course sur le papier. Pour le système d'exploitation, nous restons aussi sur Android KitKat avec l'interface TouchWiz de Samsung qui vient recouvrir et repenser le ce Galaxy Note Edge, simple coup de frime technologique ou véritable apport pertinent par rapport au Galaxy Note 4 existant ? Réponse dans notre test. Ergonomie et design La première sensation qui se dégage lorsque l'on voit puis saisit le Galaxy Note Edge, c'est de s'être trompé et d'avoir récupéré un nouveau Galaxy Note 4. Gabarit similaire ou presque, design identique, mêmes finitions, ce nouveau fleuron ultra haut de gamme en forme de phablette ne trouve finalement son originalité au sein des gammes Samsung "que" dans sa fameuse courbure Amoled sur la tranche droite. Il s'agit en fait d'un prolongement tactile de l'écran principal et affiche des informations et donne accès à des applis et usages sélectionnés. L'effet est saisissant, renforcé, doit-on le rappeler si vite, par une finition aux petits oignons. Le style plus classique et mêlant plastique de qualité, aluminium travaillé et dos en faux cuir à revêtement doux du Galaxy Note 4 fait mouche, une fois de Note Edge est sans aucun doute un élégant smartphone, qui respire le haut de gamme. Le bouton physique facial accueille le lecteur d'empreinte par glissement de doigt efficacité relative et frustrante et le stylet S-Pen trouve toujours refuge dans son fourreau. Du fait de son écran courbé, le Note Edge, malgré son écran plus petit hauteur moindre du terminal, dispose d'une largeur supérieure au Galaxy Note 4 et Samsung n'a pas eu le temps de se pencher sur la fonte des bords de l'écran, en particulier sur les parties inférieure/ alors le douloureux problème de la prise en main. Tout d'abord, vous gaucher qui entrez ici, partez et ne revenez jamais. Le Note Edge est un produit pour droitier et droitier seulement. Certes, Samsung a pensé aux gauchers en intégrant un mode main gauche qui permet d'afficher le contenu dans l'autre sens et donc de profiter de la courbure et ses fonctions. Sauf que ce faisant, avec une phablette à l'envers, on se retrouve avec un produit qui n'a plus aucun sens un bouton principal et son lecteur en haut, micro et haut-parleur inversés en cas d'appel... Et autant avouer que sans inverser le produit pour pouvoir utiliser la barre, l'appareil perd totalement son intérêt. Un gaucher devra donc établir une gymnastique permanente pour utiliser un Note Edge. Il lui préfèrera donc le bien moins discriminant Note 4...Les majoritaires droitiers trouveront un peu plus leur bonheur. Le bord de la partie courbée se cale bien en main et l'on peut déborder sur la courbure sans trop craindre de lancer une application par mégarde, si toutefois le smartphone est fermement tenu. Enfin, pour un compte rendu détaillé du stylet S-Pen, nous vous donnons rendez-vous sur le test du Galaxy Note 4, les accessoires et expériences étant identiques. Quant au cardio-fréquencemètre inséré près du flash, au dos, toujours la même rengaine c'est non. Publicité, votre contenu continue ci-dessous Écran Samsung reprend ici à 0,1 pouce près toujours les mêmes armes que le Galaxy Note 4, à savoir un écran Super Amoled WQHD dont la définition de 2560 x 1440 px séduit forcément la rétine, avec un affichage précis, sans pixels apparents, mais pas forcément avec un gain notable et justificatif par rapport à une dalle de même taille en Full HD pour un usage normal. Toutefois, avec des applis de dessin, de la production de contenu avec un peu de zoom, une telle définition peut largement justifier l' rendu de l'écran est splendide et même meilleur que celui du Note 4, déjà excellent. Amoled oblige, nous avons un contraste quasi infini et un temps de rémanence quasi nul. Le retard tactile est aussi minime, avec 27 ms, ce qui ne classe pas le Note Edge en tête de file, mais l'installe dans le rayon des dalles les plus réactives du marché. La luminosité maximale piétine un peu, avec 300 cd/m² en moyenne, mais le contraste, les noirs abyssaux et les couleurs bien vivantes compensent la plupart du temps et offrent une lisibilité très correcte en extérieur. Comme pour tout produit mobile Samsung haut de gamme, on trouve plusieurs modes d'affichage Adaptif, Basique, Cinéma et Photo. Ne passons pas par quatre chemins, seul le mode Basique vaut le détour. Il offre un équilibre parfait à l'affichage avec une excellente température de couleurs 6815 Kelvins, constants sur tout le spectre et surtout un rendu colorimétrique qui s'impose, à date, comme le meilleur et le plus fidèle du marché haut de gamme delta E moyen à 1,6, devant les iPhone 6 et 6 Plus. Un afficheur de grande classe, donc, qui sied très bien à l'image que souhaite renvoyer Samsung de son produit. Interface et navigation Dans cette partie du test, nous aborderons avant tout les apports et questions logiciels liés à la courbure de l'écran. L'interaction générale et la proposition logicielle de base sont rigoureusement identiques à celles du Galaxy Note 4 ; nous vous donnons donc rendez-vous sur le test complet du GN4. Sachez tout de même que le Note Edge propose toute la suite des applications Google, des applis, interactions et usages calibrés pour le stylet S-Pen et des lecteurs multimédias alors, qu'en est-il de de cette courbure d'écran, qui accueille des raccourcis et les notifications. Eh bien, à date, l'expérience ne nous semble pas si probante. On trouve quelques options à potentiel comme l'apparition d'une règle graduée ou des accès rapides au dictaphone, à la lampe ou au chronomètre et toutes les applis du système peuvent retrouver leur icône de lancement dans la barre latérale. Les dossiers y ont également leur place et s'ouvrent normalement lors d'une sollicitation. Différents modules de raccourcis à afficher en priorité notifications, applis, usages, paramètres... sont disponibles dans le menu de la barre et quelques thèmes peuvent être téléchargés. Tout ceci est bien pratique, mais la taille de l'écran n'entre pas en adéquation avec l'idée d'une praticité ouverture d'option de la barre se trouve à une extrémité de celle-ci, bon courage pour les atteindre à une main. De plus, dans l'immense encombrement applicatif que constitue Samsung TouchWiz, l'ajout d'une entrée supplémentaire peut parfois confiner à l'indigestion. Enfin, les notifications entrantes, en plus de disparaître aussi vite qu'elles apparaissent, le font, forcément, à l'horizontale et surtout toujours tournée vers l'intérieur, jamais vers l'extérieur non réglable. On a connu plus pratique pour la lecture, surtout quand le Note Edge est en veille posé sur une table. La consultation d'un coup d'œil n'est pas encore là...À noter que la courbure peut afficher l'heure, la météo et la date en mode veille. Une option calibrée, de base, pour la nuit très bonne visibilité, afin d'informer le dormeur pendant un réveil impromptu. Il faut étaler la plage horaire d'action de l'option pour en faire une courbe active de veille toute la journée. Aucune interaction tactile n'est malheureusement possible. L'apport ergonomique et logiciel de cette courbure Oled manque de souplesse et par de nombreux aspects confirme son rôle de technologie sans réelle valeur ajoutée — pour le moment et en l'état, tout du performances générales sont à l'image de celles du Note 4 encore une fois. La plate-forme Snapdragon 805 n'a que faire des lourdeurs de TouchWiz ou de la multiplication des ouvertures d'applications, le terminal ronronne tranquillement sans accrocs et encaisse sans broncher n'importe quelle sollicitation. Un bonheur. Publicité, votre contenu continue ci-dessous Multimédia Le comportement et la proposition de gestion multimédia, jeu ou encore web mobile du Galaxy Note Edge étant identique à ceux du Galaxy Note 4, nous vous donnons rendez-vous sur sa page de test. En substance, sachez tout de même que ce smartphone est un parfait outil multimédia et une machine de jeu courbure de l'écran permet toujours de conserver un œil sur les notifications et outils de l'OS, quel que soit l'usage ou encore d'afficher des infos supplémentaires et/ou annexes pour le lecteur vidéo et quelques rares attend réellement un coup de pouce de la part des éditeurs d'applis pour apprivoiser ce nouvel espace. Côté audio, le Galaxy Note Edge bénéficie d'une sortie casque de bonne qualité. Neutre et puissante, elle offre également une très bonne dynamique avec une restitution sans distorsion seule la stéréophonie aurait pu être un peu plus revanche, son seul haut-parleur situé sur la partie inférieure gauche de la coque arrière ne rentrera pas dans les annales avec une relative bonne puissance, mais un signal très concentré sur les fréquences médium et avec beaucoup de distorsion. De plus, son placement rentrera en conflit lorsqu'il sera tenu en main ou posé sur une surface. Photo Simili clone de Note 4 oblige, le Galaxy Note Edge propose le même équipement photo-vidéo que son modèle. Le capteur de 16 Mpx stabilisé délivre un rendu strictement identique et de bonne facture, tandis que la partie captation vidéo rejoint également notre conclusion du Note 4 si le format 4K/UHD est disponible et fonctionne plutôt bien, c'est avant tout en Full HD que le Note Edge se surpasse, en accouchant d'une belle image parfaitement stable. Un régal. Même topo concernant le capteur avant de 3,7 Mpx, qui propose toujours une expérience complète et des images larges et très avoir un aperçu complet des capacités photographiques de ce Galaxy Note Edge, rendez-vous sur le compte-rendu photo du Galaxy Note 4. Seul changement notable entre les deux smartphones, la manipulation du terminal. En effet, la courbure d'écran est ici exploitée pour afficher les différentes actions possibles, de l'accès aux réglages au déclencheur photo. Encore une fois ici, il faut prendre le coup et il arrive une poignée de fois que le doigt provoque malencontreusement une rafale de 30 photos. Le diktat de la courbure est un problème, à notre sens, lorsque cette partie est tournée vers le haut. Vers le bas, le déclencheur tombe sous le pouce et la manipulation devient un poil plus pratique. La préhension en mode photo reste globalement moins pratique que sur le Note 4, avec ses tranches pleines et plus stables. Retrouvez le rendu photo du Galaxy Note Edge dans notre Face-à-Face Photo . Autonomie Si le Note 4 dispose d'une batterie de 3220 mAh, le Note Edge, censé être une version "+" du premier, accueille un accumulateur d'une capacité de 3000 mAh. Le Galaxy Note 4 nous avait enthousiasmés par son autonomie solide, mais ces 220 mAh de différence devraient sans aucun doute grever celle de ce Galaxy Note Edge, puisque nous partons sur des bases techniques et logicielles absolument identiques, tout en ajoutant ce fameux bout d'afficheur courbé. En pratique, sur de la lecture vidéo en streaming via Netflix, le Note Edge affiche une autonomie inférieure de 2 h par rapport au Note 4, mais reste tout de même de haute volée puisque nous avons ici 9h14 de lecture, soit presque 10 épisodes d'une série au complet. En lecture vidéo locale pure, l'utilisateur gratte une heure de plus. Sur l'autonomie globale, avec un usage mixte jeu, communication, surf web, utilisation de l'OS, vidéo, e-mails, une fois encore et du coup fort logiquement, nous avons ici un résultat en retrait par rapport au Note 4. En temps brut, le Galaxy Note Edge expire entre 1h30 et 2h avant son compère, mais peut toujours offrir une durée de fonctionnement moyenne allant légèrement au-delà de la journée et demie. Question recharge énergétique, la recharge rapide introduite sur le Note 4 Quick Charge via le Snapdragon 805 est toujours de la partie. Ici aussi, il faut bien veiller à passer par le bloc secteur fourni avec le terminal pour bénéficier d'une recharge de 50 % de la batterie en 40 à 45 minutes seulement. Publicité, votre contenu continue ci-dessous Points forts Magnifique écran Amoled en mode Basique. Finitions exemplaires. Performances globales bon en tout / Environnement stylet utile et pragmatique. Capteurs photo de bonne facture / Stabilisation ultra-efficace en vidéo Full HD. Autonomie / Recharge partielle rapide. Points faibles Intérêt limité de la courbure. De l'innovation pour de l'innovation, à ce stade. Plus large qu'un Galaxy Note 4. N'apporte au final rien de plus qu'un Note 4. Moins endurant qu'un Note 4. Un enfer et un non-sens pour les gauchers. Conclusion Note globale Comment fonctionne la notation ? En l'état, en dehors d'une démonstration technologique qui fait son effet le temps très court de la découverte, le Galaxy Note Edge ne propose au final rien de plus qu'un Galaxy Note 4. La courbure de l'écran implique une plus grande largeur, une ergonomie hasardeuse et l'on perd un peu d'autonomie énergétique. Un produit d'image, sans aucun doute, qui compte tout de même pour lui un écran du tonnerre, une plate-forme matérielle sans failles et une proposition logicielle exclusive pléthorique. Le jeu en vaut-il pour autant la chandelle ? Pas sûr. Petite note d'importance pour les gauchers passez votre chemin. Sous-Notes Ergonomie et design Écran Photo Autonomie Editors' note, January 29, 2015 This review was updated with comparisons to LG's new dual-curved screen phone prototype and additional impressions of using the Note Edge for several months. There are also thoughts on Android Lollipop and extended discussion of the phone's second Good The Samsung Galaxy Note Edge's curved, asymmetrical shape and brand-new interface deliver a cutting-edge design that really lives up to its name. The Bad It's wider and much pricier than the Note 4 without dramatically increasing the phone's functionality. You'll have to adapt to navigating from a second screen. The Bottom Line Samsung's swooshing Galaxy Note Edge is a triumph of novel design, but its high price tag and minimal extra usability make for a niche appeal. In Samsung's vision of the electronics future, curved is the new flat. Since 2013, the Korean conglomerate unveiled curved wearables , TVs and even a smartphone, the Galaxy Round . Rival LG has two too . Here, the Edge - first released in November 2014 - furthers the curved campaign with a subtly arched "second screen" that's devoted to productivity. If a phone like the Edge could one day redefine the flat face of smartphones, Samsung wants to be at the crest of that wave. While it isn't hard to use per se, the Galaxy Note Edge still isn't a phone you master overnight. Both its asymmetrical shape and wraparound Edge display require you to navigate this handset differently than you would any other phone. On the one hand, Samsung's new Revolving UI and Edge display apps and widgets make the most of the curved portion of the screen, opening up new possibilities for interacting with your phone controls. On the other hand, it's really expensive and there's no actual need for the waterfall effect, other than to showcase its makers' ingenuity with material properties. And now, in the wake of an even bolder LG attempt at a screen with two curved edges, this original here is looking a little passe. Samsung Galaxy Note Edge rocks a curved sidebar screen hands-on pictures See all photos When I first reviewed this phone, I vacillated between really liking the Note Edge's conveniences and finding them redundant. Now that I've used the Note Edge as my go-to Android phone for several months, my perspective is much more crystallized, and a little more wearied. Read more below to see what I mean. On the balance, the Edge is a clever, well-designed piece of aspirational hardware that probes future shapes and modes of interaction. It's also a little too clever for its own good. Those looking for a showpiece of a phone will love it, but more conventional devices like the Galaxy Note 4 , LG G3 and Sony Xperia Z3 or Z3v are simply better for mainstream buyers. It's almost expected that phones using new technologies or methods could cost more, but it's a cost few could be expected to bear. The off-contract Edge goes for $840 to $946 in the US or $400 on-contract with AT&T, about £650 in the UK and AU$1,249 in Australia, so those rival phones are much cheaper, Edge versus Note 4 What's different Apart from its different physical shape and Edge display screen, the Note 4 and Note Edge share top-of-the-line hardware and the Samsung-tinged version of Android A few differences includeSamsung Galaxy Note Edge versus Note 4 Note EdgeNote 4 Screen size 1,440p HD AMOLED 1,440p HD AMOLED displayBattery 3,000mAh quick-charging battery3,220mAh quick-charging batteryDimensions, Imperial x x x x inchesDimensions, Metric x x x x ounces / 174 ounces / 176 gramsColors Black, whiteBlack, white, silver, gold, blue, pink Since the Galaxy Note Edge and Galaxy Note 4 have nearly identical specs, this review focuses on the differences between the two models. There are a few tiny variations with the TouchWiz UI as well. For any other details, see CNET's Galaxy Note 4 review .Design The curve that makes a point The more you think about it, the more ironic it becomes that the standout feature in the Galaxy Note Edge is actually its curve rather than any straight, sharp line. This glossy waterfall of a right spine, which Samsung calls the phone's Edge display, measures 2,560x160 pixels in a vertical ribbon of screen. About that screen it's made from one continuous piece of glass that tops the flexible but fixed AMOLED display beneath. Instead of having a straight right spine, the curve joins the back of the phone, creating a kind of pointy edge. One flowing piece of glass bends around the Edge's face. Sarah Tew/CNET You'd think this triangular shape would feel off-kilter or sharply uncomfortable to hold. I certainly got that impression when when I first saw the Edge, but it's surprisingly balanced when you actually use it, even for extended periods of time. I carried the Edge in my right and left hands for an hour at a time during a hike. I did grip it differently than I would other phones, but it felt sturdy and secure the entire time, and I quickly grew used to the altered feel. The same leather-like coating used on the back of the Note 4 also adds some extra tactile support, and feels pretty good. Unlike most Samsung phones, the power/lock button migrates from the right spine to the top. One last point is that although the screen is a hair smaller than the Note 4, the phone itself is a little bit wider. With my smaller hands, I'd have to use both to maneuver the phones regardless, but it's something for prospective buyers to bear in screen Samsung's revolving UI Samsung made brand-new software to fit the Edge's brand-new shape, and the company calls its interface the Revolving UI with good reason. It's best to think of it as a multifunctional home screen that you can swipe through to see various icons and widgets. Like a revolving door, you swipe your thumb toward the phone edge to advance, and to circle back to the beginning. You have some control over the icons you can include on the primary panel, and how many panels you want in all. Samsung is wooing developers to make more. A panel manager and editing tool help with customization, though you can't add every phone app to the primary panel, and many of them you can't edit at all. There's also some under-baked functionality in the weather widget. You can see it at a glance, but tapping the widget won't open up a fuller forecast. Scroll through the Edge's strip of a second screen with your thumb. James Martin/CNET Apart from icons and tools, you'll see the notifications that are linked to many apps flash along the Edge display. You can open and close these with a single tap. Missed alerts greet you in this side notifications display as well as the traditional notifications shade at the top of the Note Edge's screen. Just like your home screen, the Edge display supports folders, too. These take longer to pop out though, and the animation didn't seem as smooth, so using them wasn't my favorite. In addition to seeing alerts, the Edge display has its own set of settings. Pull down from the top of any Edge window to open quick tools like a flashlight, a voice recorder, a timer and stopwatch, and a ruler. I really like these in theory, but I rarely needed them in a natural, unforced way. With the exception of the ruler, which is really clever, I'm also not convinced that tying these tools to the Edge display offers any real value. They'd be just as convenient to access from elsewhere on the phone. The ruler is one quick tool you can access from any sliver of Edge screen. James Martin/CNET For customizations, there are a few. You can personalize the color of the Edge display when the phone is locked, and customize the message that appears when it's idle. That's about it. Edge-only tools There are two times you'll use the Edge display alone, and I like both modes. First, when you want to wake the phone up by swiping vertically along the curve to see just the date, time and weather. Swiping up and down some more activates a ticker to view your notifications. If the phone is facing you, colleagues across the table from you for instance can't see your screen. I never used the Edge display as a way to keep notifications private - there's little need for that in my world - but I do like the ability to call up a little information without waking the entire phone. This just feels like minimal effort is required, which is exactly how it should be. Now for the second benefit, one that's actually one of the phone's best "unique" features. After-hours, the date and time will dimly and persistently glow out at you from the Night Clock. This is an optional mode that lets you set the times you want it. In my case, from 11pm to 6am. And glow it does. With the Note Edge laying flat on its back and the edge turned toward you, it becomes as effective and far less obtrusive than other docked alarm clock setups, but is still bright enough to read. Although battery drain is low, you should probably keep an eye on the overall battery life if you use this mode. The last thing you want is the phone to die before your morning alarm. What about lefties? The Edge is a phone made for righties and adapted for the southpaws among us. A setting to flip the icons 180 degrees lets lefties turn the phone upside down so they can swipe and tap on the Edge display with their dominant hands. Since that orientation now puts the home button and navigation keys along the top and well out of reach, you can swipe up to surface some on-screen navigation controls. It's a workaround that seems to do the trick. Lefties can flip the phone and icons 180 degrees to scroll with their dominant hand. Screenshot by Jessica Dolcourt/CNETUsing the Edge display I've now had months to scrutinize what it's like to use the Note Edge display, some good, some perpetually a little weird, and some kind of bad. Here are a few common scenarios that sprang up repeatedly. Camera controls Taking photos on a hike in the mountains around San Francisco, I mostly launched the camera from the phone's lock screen or from the Edge display. It was there by default and I didn't add the icon to my home screen. At first, the camera controls on the curved portion of the screen felt a little awkward, since I kept trying to take photos by pressing my index finger to the screen the usual for many smartphone cameras instead of the button along the Edge's ridge. It shows up at the top when you're in landscape mode and the middle in portrait. After that, my brain won out over muscle memory and tapping the screen near where a physical button would be felt pretty natural. I noticed this finger placement also let me better stabilize the phone while shooting. Whenever I use the Note Edge now, my index finger automatically leaps to the sot where the shutter control will appear. In fact, most of the time, I have to wait around for a split second before the icon blips to life. The Note Edge camera controls take over the curved edge. Screenshot by Jessica Dolcourt/CNET The placement of the digital shutter button at the top of the screen is also perfect for selfies, although I took a few accidental pictures and turned the camera around a couple times while setting up shots and adjusting my grip. Using the Edge display isn't without its faults, and some of these have only crystallized as time wears on. One downside to condensing camera controls along the top is that you have to dig a little deeper to get to the usual Samsung settings grid settings, then the ellipsis. Another is that - for me, at least - the placement means that the way I grip the phone to take a picture, I often accidentally press the volume button, which takes a series of burst mode shots by default. This means that I wind up having to stop what I'm doing and delete a series of 20 blurry shots of who-knows-what. Annoying. Here's another irritating issue I've run into with some frequency there you are, launching the camera to take a photo, finger poised to tap the shutter icon on the screen. The thing is, it doesn't materialize for a few seconds because a stream of notifications has popped up onto the Edge display, and you have to close them out in order to take the photo. In the meantime, you've just missed your shot waiting for the alert to clear. This is even worse if you've turned off your phone say you drained the battery all the way and it's just recharged and you have a veritable buildup of notifications to get through before you can take the shot. Reading, texting, watching video It's nice that the Edge display backs off when you begin writing and viewing things on the screen. It recesses when you launch an app, reappearing when you swipe to wake it up, and disappearing again when you tap back to the app. It mostly behaved like that, too, but often popped out when my typing finger approached the Edge while sending messages. Notifications and tickers As a notifications window and ticker, the vertical nature of the Edge display means you're reading messages and headlines sideways. At first I found this redundant and, until I edited down my white-listed apps, too noisy. Customize the screens you see using the panel manager. James Martin/CNET Then I started to appreciate that I could read more of the message as it streamed down the side, and open it if I tapped the edge quickly enough. If not, swiping to the notification screen is another fast way to open the alert. For the biggest downsides to notifications streaming along your bar, just revisit that camera section up above. Also, you can manage which apps give you notifications here, but it isn't the most intuitive to life and performance Samsung claims that the Note Edge's battery life is comparable to that of the Note 4. The battery has a slightly smaller capacity, and if you light up the display, especially at night, it'll drain faster as well. Regardless, a full charge still lasts a day, and seeing the battery at 35 percent in the later hours didn't spin me into panic mode; I still felt I had plenty of time before needing to recharge. During our battery drain test for continuous video playback, the phone lasted 11 hours and 16 minutes. The stylus works on the curved edge as well as the phone's flat face. Sarah Tew/CNET In terms of performance and task-switching, there were a couple of lulls. Opening a folder from the Edge screen was one performance hangup. You also have to wait a long second for the Edge display to awaken and show you the time. One fear that many CNET editors had when we first heard about the Note Edge was how often we'd unintentionally press icons on the Edge screen. For me, this mostly only happened when I used the camera, but not during regular phone use. The biggest issue with battery drain is an ongoing one I experience with a lot of phones, many of them Samsung-issued. The power/lock button and my purses just don't get along. When the Note Edge isn't hitching a ride in my back pocket, it's in a dedicated purse pocket upside-down so that S-Voice doesn't go off. Oftentimes, I'll look down and see that the screen is lit up for no good reason, which just drains battery when I'm not using the phone. By the time I discover this problem, the phone is drained of all life and I have to charge it quickly thanks to Qualcomm's Quick Charge protocol and turn it back on before I can once again put it to work. So, the phone holds a charge for a long time...until it leaks it all for no good about Lollipop? Since the Note Edge and straight-screened Note 4 share the same internals, I've kept from repeating those in-depth comparison charts and all that jazz over here too. This one is worth an update, however. Google Android Lollipop is on its way...eventually. Google Right now, the Note Edge runs Android KitKat. Google's latest operating system, Android Lollipop, is starting to come out to some phones, mostly those that use an unadorned version of the Android OS, or lightly modified if anything. Next will come the top-selling mass market phones that require more developer work to get right. After that, the slower-selling or niche phones will get their Lollipop share. Although Android is meant to quell fragmentation fears by its design, I still think that the Note Edge will be one of the last phones to get an update. Why? There are a few reasons, in fact. First, the Edge is a niche device that Samsung will need to deal with after it gets the build right for the far more popular Galaxy S5 and Note 4. Second, you've got that extra interface layer to grapple with. Samsung engineers don't just have TouchWiz to grapple with. Now they must also make sure that the revolving UI of the Edge display works unhindered on Lollipop as well. Third, before carriers and handset-makers can deploy an over-the-air update, they have to make darn tootin' sure that there are no glitches in operation on the given network. So carriers essentially test everything all over again, which just takes longer but is also an important step.Are two curves better than one? Earlier I talked about how lefties have to adjust with the curved screen on the right. Samsung rival LG used CES 2015 in Las Vegas to show off a display that uses two curved edges, apparently a concession for left-handed users. Watch this LG Display shows off screen with double Note Edge-style curves 0055I'm not sure that this is the answer, either. Clearly, though, curved screens are holding manufacturers' interest. Rumors also point to the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy S6 we're guessing at the name here as a phone that might also have a curved screen. Or maybe only a variant of the phone will, much like the Note 4 and then pricier Note than just a wacky screen?So here's what I think. In the Note Edge, Samsung has undoubtedly made something new and different that doesn't get in the way of usability all too much. In fact, for some, the Edge display may make them slightly more productive, depending on how heavily they come to rely on that second screen. For my purposes, it worked best to get to apps faster, especially if it helps you avoid using folders on either the home screen or the Edge display. I also liked its notifications assistance on the whole - as long as it didn't obstruct photo-taking, and once I reduced the number of alerts. The nighttime clock feature easily fit into my life. Still, I personally wouldn't pick it over the excellent Note 4, mostly for reasons of its higher price. I'd mayyyybe consider it if the price were identical, but even then, I'm not entirely sure. The Edge's design is refreshingly different, but is it compelling enough? Sarah Tew/CNET Samsung, of course, is counting on you to go beyond the basics of alerts and icons with other apps like built-in informational tickers or perhaps the matching game, or any other Edge apps that developers create down the line. Another problem is, developers haven't jumped on board. There's no real big surprise here, but I have noticed that the number of apps I can download through the Edge screen manager is still contained to about a handful, rather than dozens and scores of new apps. In fact, my unit still warns me that the app store isn't open. With a product as daring as the Note Edge, much could have gone wrong. In this case, most of the technical stuff went right. The problem is justifying the high price and swooshing body shape compared to more straightforward phones out there. Samsung spent a great deal of effort and energy to change the way people navigate their phones without vitally deepening what you get out of it. I like the Note Edge, but it doesn't blow my mind. Unless you're after a standout device of the future and have cash to burn, skip the Edge for another high-end smartphone.
