In the meantime, we have the opportunity once again to look at the unofficial photo of the machine. At this time the Network has got spy photos Galaxy S6, in which he is depicted in a fully assembled and running condition.
Filmed apparatus represented in the photo in three different colors. On the home screen, set wallpaper, made in the style Samsung, icons and notifications are reminded of the operating system Android 5.0 Lollipop.

Release a smartphone that will get aluminum housing, is expected early next year. It is likely that the Galaxy S6 will be presented in two basic versions: one with a conventional display, and the second – with a curved (as in the Galaxy Note Edge).
It is known that in a short time, Samsung is going to officially present on the home market for themselves fresh from his new smartphone series Galaxy A – model Galaxy A7. However, at the disposal of the South Korean Internet resource Ruliweb got more accurate information on which Galaxy A7 will be announced in South Korea on January 14,. With him on the market debuts and model Galaxy A5, which is already available for purchase in some other countries.

Samsung Galaxy Grand Max OS based on Android 4.4 KitKat and supports the work in LTE networks.
It is expected that soon the pair of smart phones will go on the South Korean retail. Will there be vehicles in other markets – not yet known.
Galaxy Alpha is perhaps one of the most attractive smartphone released by Samsung. But in the coming weeks the South Korean giant plans to discontinue its production, what informs local edition of ETNews citing its own sources.
According to sources in the near future Samsung will remove from production Galaxy Alpha, replacing it with the Galaxy A5, which will be launched in South Korea in late January / early February next year. Release smartphone stops as soon as end balances of materials for its production.
Replacing Galaxy Alpha on Galaxy A5, Samsung is able to attract the attention of consumers to their new line of smartphones Galaxy A, which have metal plates, attractive features and a relatively affordable price.
In the middle of January in South Korea состоится start the new version of the smartphone giant Samsung Galaxy Note 4 S-LTE (SM-N916) based SoC platform Qualcomm Snapdragon 810. He will be supported by work in cellular networks fourth generation 4G LTE with data transfer ra tes up to 300 Mbit / s. New products will be available to subscribers of major Korean mobile operators SK Telecom (SM-N916S) and Olleh (SM-N916K). The cost of the device is not specified.
Also on the South Korean market will be available shortly for another three new smartphone Samsung, including the recently introduced Galaxy A5, as well as the Galaxy A7 and Galaxy Grand Max. According to SamMobile, Galaxy Grand Max (SM-G720N0) has a 5.2-inch HD TFT LCD display, quad-core mobile processor with a clock speed of 1.2 GHz, 1.5 GB RAM, 16 GB of internal and memory card slot MicroSD.

He will be running Android 4.4.4 KitKat and receive support LTE, VOLTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS.
In a short time the largest manufacturers of smartphones will present their new flagship phones. However it is not always possible to keep them secret, which often leads to various leaks, such as characteristics HTC Hima . Now online, new photos of two smartphones: Samsung GALAXY S6 and Xiaomi Mi5 in black.
Korean awaited flagship, despite working on a smartphone «from scratch» , according to the leaked photos, will not differ greatly in appearance, at least in its front side. If picture shows really GALAXY S6, then we will slightly increase the body because of rising diagonal. In an earlier leak was discussed that we get the metal housing in the South Korean novelty. The new shows leakage housing with at least a metal texture. The photo shows three colors: silver, gold and black.
Perhaps we will see this smartphone firsthand earlier than previously thought – the device can be presented already at CES 2015.
The new leak appearance Chinese Xiaomi Mi5 confirmed information about the possible launch of the smartphone and in black. The smartphone is very similar to the white version of the image which was previously available on the network – a minimum frame around the display unit rounded corners, symmetrical parts above and below the screen smartphone and proprietary firmware MIUI.
Sources, as usual, assured that it will be such and new flagship of the company. It is possible that this is true, because the future flagship Samsung has already been seen at the customs, and Xiaomi will present its line of a new leader next month, perhaps at CES 2015 as the unit of South Korea.
Recall, GALAXY S6, is likely to receive 5,5-inch display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 , will be working on a new version of the eight-branded 64-bit processor Samsung Exynos 7420 with a graphics accelerator Mali-T760 and get 3 GB of RAM. In Xiaomi Mi5 expected 5.5- or 5.7-inch display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 805 and 3 GB of RAM.

Increased bandwidth mobile connectivity due to aggregation of the three carriers, provides the technology LTE-Advanced, the last stage demonstrations and tests. Samsung Electronics has introduced a smartphone Galaxy Note 4 LTE-A, which, according to the manufacturer, the first smartphone that supports the aggregation of three carriers, whereby networks LTE Category 6 delivers download speeds up to 300 Mbit / s, which is four times higher than the current capacity LTE. In networks LTE-A Category 9, which are expected in the coming year, the smartphone Galaxy Note 4 LTE-A can download data at speeds up to 450 Mbit / s. � �
Although the manufacturer does not provide in this respect any information, it can be assumed that the basis of the smartphone is the SoC production Qualcomm, as is the case with other models with support for LTE-A – Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A.
As for the other technical characteristics of Galaxy Note 4 LTE-A, the unit is equipped with a Super AMOLED display 5.7-inch diagonal and a resolution of Quad HD (2560 x 1440 pixels). Device configuration includes 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of flash memory.

According to the source, Samsung intends to cease production of the device Galaxy Alpha, in order to make way for the new line of metal smartphones. Recall at this moment it includes the model Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5. The older version of the Galaxy A7 has not yet been announced.
The source is a South Korean life. In this country, the model Samsung Galaxy A5 will hit stores in January alone. It was then, according to the information provided, Samsung will cease production of Alpha. Thus, Galaxy A5 replace this unit. If you do not take into account the tangible difference in the used platform s, smartphones are quite similar to each other.
Such a move may be due to several reasons. Either the new line was developed in a hurry and now Samsung just do not see the point to keep in the range of similar devices. Or the popularity of smartphones Galaxy A sufficiently high, in contrast to the progenitor. Although there may be other reasons.
In any case, if the source is not mistaken, Galaxy Alpha is probably one of the most short-lived smartphones on the market, as it was announced only in August.
Samsung Electronics has announced the Galaxy Note Phablet 4 LTE-A, which is claimed to provide the highest speed mobile data networks.
The fact is that the Galaxy Note 4 LTE-A was the first world apparatus supporting cell aggregation-carriers (Carrier Aggregation, CA) with a combination of the three bands (20/20 / 20MHz). Thanks to this already provides a theoretical maximum download speed of 300 Mbit / s. Samsung said that this figure is four times higher than the rate that is available to subscribers of standard LTE-networks. When bandwidth of 300 Mbit / s, for example, the film volume of 700 MB can be downloaded in just 19 seconds.
Moreover, the new version of the Galaxy Note Phablet 4 is ready to work in networks LTE-A Category 9 . After the introduction of such services in operation in 2015 will be the ability to wirelessly transfer data at speeds up to 450 Mbit / s. Note that the first time such a speed in the real world were able to show Australia’s Telstra Corporation in May of this year: for data transmission have been involved two 20-MHz channels in the range of 2600 MHz and a 20 MHz channel in the 1800 MHz band.
Specifications Phablet Galaxy Note LTE-A 4 are as follows:
Display: 5.7-inch panel Super AMOLED, format Quad HD (2560 × 1440 points);
3 GB of RAM;
Flash Drive with 32 GB and microSD slot supporting cards up to 64 GB capacity;
Cameras: 16 megapixel main with autofocus and stabilization Smart OIS, 3,7-megapixel front diaphragm f / 1,9;
Wireless Adapters Wi-Fi 802.11a / b / g / n / ac and Bluetooth 4.0 ;
Support for NFC;
The receiver of satellite navigation systems GPS / GLONASS;
The network has new pictures of the future flagship smartphone Samsung Galaxy S6. Moreover, this is the first time we can see the Galaxy S6 in full assembly. As can be understood by a picture, Galaxy S6 receive two significant changes that will distinguish it from the previous series: it’s metal housing and the availability of the device in the yellow color performance. Of course, the smartphone will probably be available in a more soothing colors, but the photo shows a version of the flagship in a very unusual for Samsung color.
At the same time, a portion of the new rumors predicts Galaxy S6 (model number SM-G430) is not 5,2- and 5,5-inch display. Its resolution is 1080p, as well as the chipset will be used in the smartphone Snapdragon 801. From Samsung’s flagship solution might be expected and more advanced features, but most likely, Koreans prepare and premium version of Galaxy S6, which will get a 5.3-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of QHD (1440 x 2560 pixels), 810 Snapdragon chipset and 4 GB of RAM.
The appearance of Samsung Galaxy S6 for sale can be expected in the first half of 2015.
In the Finnish version of the site Samsung.com Korean smartphone users have found the company’s plans to update some of their mobile phones to new versions of operating systems. In particular, the firmware based on Android 5.0 Lollipop, according to this official information, will be released for sufficiently old solutions.
The list can be found planshetofony Galaxy Note 4, Note 3 and Note 2. It is interesting that the last the device was released in September 2012. In Samsung usually stick to the rule under which support their flagship devices are not more than two years, bringing two significant updates. But for the Galaxy Note 2 has been more than two years, and the release of Lollipop nobody waited – well, it’s a pleasant surprise.
But the good news does not end there. For example, Galaxy S5 Mini is in the list of devices, update waiting Lollipop. The same can be said about the Samsung Galaxy Alpha and Galaxy S4. Although close to the Galaxy S5 is written that there is no information about the update, do not worry – once the updates are promised even for S4, Note 2 and S5 Mini, then the S5 should get the firmware.
As noted, the information on such a large change in the policy of Samsung came from the Finnish branch of the company that is not typical enough. Either it is confirmed by other departments of the Korean giant, or will soon be refuted. I would hope that we are not talking about an error of Finnish employees Samsung.

Smartphone Samsung Galaxy Note Edge was presented in conjunction with Note 4 on the eve of IFA 2014. Models practically twins both in performance and in the software. But there is a Note Edge is one thing that completely changes the user experience and makes it quite different from peers – a continuation of the screen on the right side in the form of additional strip width of 160 pixels with a fully self-contained content. It is about a particular user experience and we are talking in this material.
The first concept of a smartphone with a curved screen we saw back in 2009 year. But from idea to realization passed integer (or only?) For five years. Among the business models Galaxy Note Edge – not the first smartphone with a curved screen, even in the line of Samsung. Firstborn company in this direction, Galaxy Round, however, to our market and our hands did not get. But Phablet competitors – LG G Flex – with the “correct”, in my opinion, I could bend in the year hold in your hands. But Galaxy Round, and G Flex were an attempt to improve the existing bike manufacturers (as well as to demonstrate the achievements of the national economy, and to throw fresh fuel to the segment is experiencing a crisis of ideas technique), the Galaxy Note Edge – it reinvented the wheel.
Before you read this review, be sure to read the detailed review of Galaxy Note 4 to have an idea about the characteristics and quality of the camera interface Galaxy Note Edge.
The remote control spaceship. Review of Samsung Galaxy Note 4
About the worst
Samsung Galaxy Note Edge – it’s definitely Phablet for large hands, people with small hands with him to do nothing. Even I, tsenitelnits sizes, with such a large smartphone control was difficult. That’s because when you hold Note Edge in his right hand and tries to reach the index finger to the opposite side of the screen of the palm touches the edge of the screen and the side of the device and any gesture interpreted as two-finger multitouch. Accordingly, the browser begins to display scale, the situation in the game varies depending on whether they have or have support for multi. Where it does not, a screen does not respond to touch. With classic Phablet this trouble happens as far rarer. Due to the nature of the screen there are difficulties with the camera, if we take the pictures while listening to music through wired headphones. As long as you aim to the subject, the wire from the headphones ten times poke at the screen and prevent bending to do ev erything quickly and smoothly. And one more thing – in the Galaxy Note Edge camera interface is as follows.
That is, all the controls are on the device side panel. To take a picture of an object, it is necessary to aim at it and dropped the device out of the hands at the same time. Camera – so far the only application in which vital functions delivered in the experimental area, and experience has shown that it is uncomfortable.
Not in the best place on the body due to the bending of the screen and the button went to unlock the screen – namely, at the upper end. This is not a tragedy, you can reach it, and you can also unlock the smartphone by pressing the “Home”. But honestly, I can not wait for the day when all Android-smartphone will “wake up” and “sleep” double tap on the screen. Then users will be absolutely care less where this notorious key.
Although the performance Note Edge with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 is not inferior in Note 4 to the latest version of the Exynos, the camera does not work here so quickly. Perhaps it costs nedopilennogo until our Semple software. Because the interface device while prone slow down from time to time, and charge the battery smartphone absorbs unnaturally fast, much faster than it did Note 4 and at approximately the same rate as the Galaxy S5 with earlier firmware.
Finally, the last negative – the smartphone really hot under load on the right side. Quizzes and games ways to raskochegarit almost to a state of Nexus 9, which is also not known for its “cold” temper.
Oh good
All the benefits of Samsung Galaxy Note Edge are the same advantages that and his fellow Note 4: this high-quality camera, and display with sky-high detail (in the tests and the beautiful game as much jaw falls away from such beauty), a beautiful and compact body, the interface with a bunch of fiction by the standards of the smartphone features. Admire the body can be in the gallery at the beginning of this article. The following quote screenshots tests Samsung Galaxy Note Edge. Smartphone them confidently takes the first place. Performance issues in any smartphone does not experience the problem, although from time to time may fall into a reverie, as I mentioned above.
As part of the photo and video flagship smartphone Samsung has already demonstrated a couple of years as one of the best results on the market, and this model – is no exception. Galaxy Note Edge received a 16-megapixel module with video recording as from up to 2160p @ 30fps 720p @ 120fps, next preset modes and dual flash. Although the day is not a smartphone to shoot as fast as Note 4 night and HDR-speed mode, it is clearly visible. Read more about the camera in Samsung’s flagship smartphone of 2014. You can read this and this material.
Gallery with photos in original resolution is here.
But all the same things nice and Galaxy Note 4. Therefore, it is time to go to the theme, which reveals exclusivity Edge. On the right side of the smartphone is the Quick Access Toolbar. In normal mode, it replaces the bar at the bottom of the screen, and allows you to post more useful applications. Among them – Daddy programs Google. Drag the most popular on the desktop can not, if you need them separately, you have to pull out a general application menu. But you can customize the panel. The menu of the smartphone has a separate item with panels Edge. This little – can download more from the app store Galaxy Apps. Panels to download a bit, and useful list of all I would do only two named. But once and for hours Gear line application was negligible, but now they appeared. Another thing is that the clock – not such an expensive accessory, like a smartphone Galaxy Note Edge, several of them and they clearly will be more widespread. But take the developers behind the panels to Note Edge – this question.
From the “native” panels Edge the most useful for me was the panel with a flashlight and other tools, and are available in the “night” mode clock with time alarm and informers. The fingerprint imposes specificity of work, but every time I every new smartphone looking for a flashlight, calendar and other instruments (Note Edge has even line that generally can be considered for luxury), and everything is at your fingertips and available in three clicks. Although I can not say that the comfort of all this pulls on a few extra thousand hryvnia. On the same panel displays the alarm clock, if your smartphone is already occupied by some other application, and an incoming call. Last – rather uncomfortable. Because to get to the right place on the big screen is easier than making the right swipe on the side panel. Although, again, I’ve buhchu after a week of using the smartphone, and in fact for twice already and could adapt himself.
Perhaps, having read this far, lefties think that Samsung Galaxy Note Edge – smartphone that they just do not fit. But it is not. In the settings you can specify the model to screen rotated 180 degrees when the device is deployed in the hands accordingly. Then all but the hardware buttons will be focused on the management of the other hand.
The bottom line
Samsung Galaxy Note Edge left contradictory impressions. On the one hand I immediately liked the idea of an additional screen that can be displayed useful information, without prejudice to the primary work surface. On the other – in its present form it reveals potential weak, at least, not on the money necessary to pay for the machine (although when you look at this miracle did not think that it should be cheaper). And it is unclear whether the open in the future, because I, for example, it is difficult to say that this I would like to see on a bend of the screen. Today, a simple bunch of Note 4 and any smart Samsung is working more convenient hours, and costs the same or even cheaper. In this body, this model will suit only those with large hands, the way will be uncomfortable with it. If we ignore the factor of ergonomics (important for a smartphone) and factor prices, it remains a powerful and beautiful device, with a strong camera, sophisticated user inter face to work with the S Pen and quality screen. But all the same, there are a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, which has deservedly received from us the highest editorial award “Editor’s Choice”. If you want to Galaxy Note, then I would have recommended it a classic model. Galaxy Note Edge – a model for those who are willing to try something new without regard to the budget, to boast of their technologically advanced, as well as for those who for some reason wants his personal brand-new flagship Samsung is not on Exynos, but on Qualcomm. A folded these three factors we have a portrait of a typical boom.

The quality and level smartphone determined not only by its performance and price, but also parameters such as flexibility and versatility. The value of any characteristic seriously reduced if there is no flexibility, and can not be used in different scenarios and different people. Example? Very simple. Many modern smart phones are equipped with large-screen with the highest resolution – in terms of the characteristics of a good thing. However, some of these devices is poorly calibrated screens (too hard or, conversely, too pale), others get high resolution screen, but weak “iron”, not the ability to quickly process images on this display. As a result, the device works with all the delays and the graphics interface.
In the Samsung GALAXY Note 4 top features combined with the overall balance of all parameters. Try to explain with examples.
Take the display. Screen size – 5.7 inches, resolution – 2560×1440 pixels, Super AMOLED. These are the main characteristics. Previously, Super AMOLED criticized for excessive image contrast and bright colors too. In the Samsung GALAXY Note 4 do not – Samsung engineers were able to make the most balanced on the screen contrast, brightness and richness of the image. Moreover, the smartphone GALAXY there are several modes of display: adaptive display movies AMOLED, AMOLED and the main photo. In adaptive mode, the display adjusts to the type of information displayed automatically muting the contrast and color temperature changing in different situations. In “movies AMOLED» screen becomes brighter and more contrast, and in the “photo AMOLED» colors are more calm, brightness is reduced. In nat ive mode, the picture on the screen looks calm, moderately bright, moderately contrast and moderately intense. Thus, each user can choose the most comfortable in the work mode or stop on the main – it many seem best, in my opinion.
One more thing associated with the screen – automatic backlight adjustment. In the Samsung GALAXY Note 4 it’s not made as usual, when the system will change the brightness of the “almost nothing to parse” to “oh, how bright!”. Selecting automatic brightness control, then you can set the slider on a brighter or darker position. The system for adjusting the brightness will make the screen brighter or mainly, on the contrary, often set the backlight to minimum levels. Depending on your preferences.
The second important element of direct relevance to the characteristics of the screen – the platform. Samsung GALAXY Note 4 is built on one of the most powerful platforms – eight-Exynos 5433 quad 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 processor and quad-core 1.9 GHz Cortex-A57, and is equipped with GPU Mali-T760, again, one of the fastest in the mobile market GPU. The combination of hig h-end graphics and core processors has allowed the company to use the highest resolution screen without performance drop in games, movies and just when drawing the smartphone interface. That is the case with the Samsung GALAXY Note 4 high-resolution screen – it’s not advertising “trick” and a real working tool that allows you to display an image with the highest level of clarity. And the company, equipping smartphone such a display, did not go to any concessions in terms of performance or quality of the picture on the screen.
Now let’s talk about the case. In the Samsung GALAXY Note 4 is a combination of a metal frame, plastic (back) and glass (front surface). Here again, the presence of all relevant elements (metal, plastic fashion “under the skin”) is combined with the right look and practicality. The metal frame is painted in body color, whereby the GALAXY Note 4 looks very solid, on the other hand, it also gives the body extra strength and helps to avoid serious damage in the fall because the metal takes much of the impact energy. The use of plastic for the cover, made under the skin, is also useful from two points of view. For some, it’s just adding a couple of points in the design of a smartphone, but even if such a decision you do not like the effect on the device (plastic under the skin) is not too noticeable, and we can not say that he was fussy or overly bright. But the choice of textured plastic led to the enclosure practical – it does not get dirty, an d traces of fingerprints on such a surface is almost gone, and if they occur, it will be completely transparent to the user. That is, the body, in fact, makes the device versatile and affordable for different people and for those who like a simple and practical device, and, at the same time, for lovers of beautiful things.
All powerful smartphones are very demanding on the battery capacity and power optimization, and Samsung GALAXY Note 4 is no exception. However, Samsung’s solution to rapid discharge is not simply a device equipped with a very capacious battery, but did so much more. For those users who use their smartphone to complete and constantly discharged (even if you have a machine very capacious battery, the smartphone can easily be discharged for 3-4 hours, there is a will) – Samsung GALAXY Note 4 has a function for fast charging. With it you can charge the device c 0 to 50 percent in just half an hour, and up to 90 percent – in an hour. Full charging time (its capacity – 3220 mAh) is only half an hour.

The report said that the company has already started shipping chips LPDDR4 of 2 and 3 GB that use chips density 8 Gbps and 6, respectively, and in early 2015 the manufacturer expects to start delivering chips 4 GB.

Let’s remind, according to other Samsung Galaxy S6 get 3 GB of memory. However, given that the Samsung Galaxy S6 will be available in two versions – with SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 and Samsung Exynos 7420, we can assume that the memory of these options may also vary.
In September of this year in Berlin, Samsung introduced an unusual Android-smartphone, called Galaxy Note Edge. It curved display for the first time is used not only as a designer, but also as a functional feature. Bending screen forms another plane on which information is displayed. Let’s see how practical and useful is this decision.

Design and materials
Most modern smartphones hard to realize interesting design ideas. After all, their whole appearance is built around a touch screen, which occupies most of the front panel. Using curved screens – is the ability to move a step away from the usual performance.
This is just clearly seen by the hero of our review of the Galaxy Note Edge which was based on the model Note 4, but thanks to the curved display visually different from it.
The right side of the front panel is bent to the edge of the housing forming instead of sharp edges smooth curvature of the screen. This creates a recognizable image of the device, which is not yet able to copy. At the same time, it is worth noting that the Note Edge left much of Note 4.
The back of the smartphone is also made of plastic with a texture the skin, and the ends of the metal.
Even where there is a bend of the screen, there is a metal frame, which significantly extends from the housing to protect display in case of a fall.
Compiled Galaxy Note Edge is very good, its removable rear cover fits snugly to the body, and the metal frame gives it additional rigidity.
Ease of use
Model Galaxy Note Edge Note 4 little wider, but thinner and smaller in height. Dimensions smartphone is 151,3 × 82,4 × 8,3 mm, and weighs 174 grams. At first glance, the increased width had a negative impact on usability, but it is not so. The device fits comfortably in the hand, although it requires getting used to.
most convenient to your smartphone using your left hand, then resting flat face of the housing in the palm can reach out even to the right top of the display.
If you take Note Edge in his right hand, there already appears nuance associated with the curved edge of the body to the screen. Since the protective glass has good oleophobic coating, the right edge difficult to focus, to operate the machine with one hand. This does not mean that the use of Note Edge right hand is impossible, but because of the design features is not as easy to do as the left. In general, the size of the body of the smartphone features to ensure that it was used with two hands.
The curved to the right edge of the display housing is not allowed to be placed on the right side of the usual for Samsung keys.
And it also left its mark on the ergonomics of the device. For example, the power button of the screen put to the upper end.
It’s quite a rash decision for a large smartphone, and it would be better to move the button on the left face . It did so with the volume button is located on the left side of the housing. Use it as a whole is convenient, but while talking to her hard reach the right index finger. Fortunately adjust the volume during a call is necessary not so often.
At the bottom of the smartphone is the port microUSB.
Below the display Galaxy Note Edge are the control keys, the standard for smartphones Samsung. Touch to display the running application windows and go back a step, as well as mechanical button to exit to the desktop between them. In the latter also entered a fingerprint scanner. As in Note 4 to work, he became much better than what we saw in the Galaxy S5. Due to the size and weight of the body to unlock the smartphone holding your finger on the button is not always convenient, but in general this function can be used.

The image on the screen of your smartphone looks great. Consider at some point it is not possible with the naked eye.
The color rendition Super AMOLED matrix may seem too colorful, but you get used to it quickly, especially since In the display settings, you can select one of four types of display. The most natural among them is the “Photo».

As in real use, and in the synthetic tests Note Edge demonstrates high speed. The interface of the operating system Android 4.4.4 with TouchWiz obolochnoy work without any delay. In the test AnTuTu smartphone gaining more than 48 thousand points, which is an excellent result and comparable with Note 4 platform Exynos.
At high load, such as a game of World of Tanks Blitz, housing Galaxy Note Edge slightly warm, but more than just warm it will not name. No it does not cause discomfort.
Software and stylus S Pen
The operating system used in the Note Edge Android 4.4.4, complete with original shell Samsung TouchWiz. At first glance, the interface is not much different from what we have seen recently in the Galaxy Note 4, however, the use of a curved screen is different. On the desktop, smartphone as laid down no lower row of icons and application key rings and menus are in the right and lower-left corner of the screen.
On the formed bend the display face can display more information, such as application icons, calendar widget, s Health, weather alerts, and other panels that you can download in the store Galaxy Apps. Unfortunately, at the moment their little while.
When entering a menu or start an application sidebar disappears and becomes active, minimizing the possibility of accidental clicks.
Call it can be a gesture by swiping your finger on the edge of the border of the display. Scrolled panel short movement from right to left or vice versa, if you hold your finger down from the top side face, a menu of additional applications. It includes the line, timer, stopwatch, flashlight and voice recorder.
lateral faces more often than not involved in running applications, and it allows you to display additional information on it. For example, it is possible to directly receive incoming calls or reset.
Some applications may use the sidebar to display on it elements of its interface. For example, in the application S Note on it displays the tools to create a note.
The store Galaxy Apps there is even a separate section, which contains such “advanced” applications, but their number is not even reach ten.
It is also interesting that the side panel can be used when the display is off. To do this, hold a finger on it, and then, without turning on the main screen, it will appear in the image of time, weather and date.
Here you can scroll through the panel, and, for example, to see scheduled for today calendar events. Panel also has a night mode robots in the specified period of time, it can display the time, thus turning, Note Edge in the hours that you can put on the nightstand beside the bed.
