The Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is the latest smartphone from the corporation, which is challenging Apple in a design-off. The two are currently in the process of developing new phones to improve the current market, and both offer distinct qualities.
For example, the Galaxy Note Edge has a display that wraps around the edges of the phone, giving a more complete interface experience. It also comes with an S Pen for people to use with various apps on the phone, which is also slightly different than previous versions. Since the edge is designed to also show part of the screen, this is where certain notifications pop up, so that people can see this even if they are using a cover.
