Samsung Galaxy Note Edge – a great smartphone with a curved screen – first revealed in September at the Berlin IFA. And it was one of the few gadgets at great exhibition of electronics, look at who could only be defended decent place.
Galaxy Note Edge drove to Russia in late November and appeared on shop windows with a price tag (50 thousand. rub.), which, it seemed, where he will remain forever.
Recall that was before the first rise in price of the products Apple, at a time when the iPhone 6 Plus cost “ridiculous” 36 990 rubles. … But the situation has changed. The ruble is not the same that a month ago, and the price remains the same Note Edge.
So look at one of the best and certainly the most original smartphone-Phablet from Samsung makes sense.
Who is the Edge?
The main thing, of course, curved 5.7-inch SuperAMOLED-screen, high-QHD-1440 x 2560, (PPI 525). 5.6 inches – is the diagonal of its flat part. Its resolution is 2560 x 1440. Resolution of the bent portion – 2560 x 160.
The rest of the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge almost twin Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
But only almost. Key Lock Note Edge moved to the upper bound on the right, which is now part of the display, the battery capacity decreased slightly from 3220 to 3000 mAh. Note Edge is also equipped with a processor Qualcomm – Snapdragon 805 (4 cores, 2.7 GHz).
In the synthetic benchmark AnTuTu Samsung Galaxy Note Edge gaining 47-48 thousand. That is absolutely top-end index.
Among other important specifications note:
– 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal memory, support for memory cards up to 128 GB
– a built-in stylus S Pen, for inputting handwritten notes, painting and other work;
– a 16-megapixel camera with optical stabilization;
– sensors: motion gyro, proximity, compass, barometer, UV sensor, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, GPS / GLONASS, fingerprint scanner;
– Dimensions – 151.3 x 82.4 x 8.3 mm;
– weight – 174 g.
Galaxy Note 4, in our opinion, the best smartphone to date (Phablet) Samsung, and then that Note Edge is based on it, already says a lot.
In principle Galaxy Note 4 could be called almost perfect smartphone, if not two but – the size and price. For many users, the device is either too big or too expensive, or both together.
The rest Note Edge retains all the strong features of the Note 4 – outstanding performance, excellent screen, long battery life, high quality camera, advanced S Pen stylus and, importantly, a good software to work with a stylus .
Now all the above advantages and added exclusive design in the form of a curved body (a rare case where the word “exclusive” can shamelessly used in the review).
For the side of the screen corresponds to a separate item in the menu settings. Already there are several different versions of the sidebar and “skins” to them. In the future they will be even more.
On a side screen work as standard applications – hours, a voice recorder, a stopwatch, a ruler, a timer, the player – and some user.
Of course, on the this part of the screen can display folders and shortcuts, but in principle the side screen is responsible for notification and control of the device.
Is it convenient? On the one hand, to get used to the side screens can be quite fast, in fact, after a while you start to use it all the time, but a breakthrough in ergonomics and usability is not here. The fact that to make full use of the curved screen need to “learn”, says that the trend of such a decision would not.
That is an interesting and dramatic option, but no more. By the way, Note 4 and iPhone 6 Plus in hand are better because they do not have sharp right side.
The most practical and meaningful was the “night mode” side of the screen when It displays the date, time and weather. It’s really very convenient. Trifle, but a trifle ingenious.
To summarize, we can say: Samsung Galaxy Note Edge – premium and niche smartphone. Most users entire arsenal of possibilities, which gives Edge, hardly ever needed. Especially for the money.
Nevertheless, the Samsung came to join in Note Edge broadest functionality and original design. That is found in today’s mobile devices, is quite rare.
Buyer Note Edge actually get two in one : high Phablet, on the one hand, and the opportunity to stand out “from the crowd” – on the other.
Is it worth 50 thousand. rub., every man for himself decides itself, but I think probably have not for a long time . On today’s exchange rate price of Samsung Galaxy Note Edge in Europe is now close to the 70 th. Rubles.
