Samsung's fastest-charging device : Galaxy Note Edge

Samsung's Galaxy Note Edge


Galaxy Note Edge, Samsung's fastest-charging device, gets a U.S. debut date:


Samsung's Galaxy Note Edge, the strange-looking device with a curved edge screen that wraps around the phone's right side, is set to debut in the United States on Nov. 14.

The "Edge" part of the name refers to that smaller curved display, which is almost of completely different screen. The main display works like any other smartphone's, but the thin edge has its own functions, menus and icons.

With the extra strip display —a feature unique to the device — you can also get notifications and access your email, apps and more without interrupting any actions on the main screen. You can also use a stopwatch and ruler.

The design of the Note Edge could be an indication that Samsung is trying to turn heads. Samsung has recently struggled in the smartphone market, and the company has vowed to revamp its products at a fundamental level. The company reported its lowest operating profits in a few years last week, with a 74% decline in third-quarter income from the last year.

The phone is on the pricey side. With AT&T, the Note Edge costs $400 with a two-year contract (or $946 without a commitment). Sprint is offering the phone for $840, which you pay over a 24-month period with $35 payments. T-Mobile has a similar payment plan at $36.25 per month for 24 months, a total of $870. Verizon didn't have prices immediately available.

The Galaxy Note Edge is more than an expensive mobile sideshow attraction, though. The phone packs Quad HD on its massive 5.6-inch display and includes a 16-megapixel rear camera, plus a 3.7-megapixel front-facing camera (for selfies, of course).

Samsung added that this phone the fastest-charging device of any of its smartphones. The battery can charge up to 50% in 30 minutes and last up to a day on a 10% charge.

The phone runs Android's KitKat operating system, not its latest Lollipop, and will be available in black and white.
