Engadget Review
The Galaxy Note Edge is an experiment, yet it's one that's able to stand on its strengths, despite any reservations you might have about that curved display. In short, you get all the benefits of the Galaxy Note 4, but with a hardware twist to set it apart. Unfortunately, there's that price.
Pros
- Beautiful, high-resolution curved display
- Long battery life
- Good camera
- Pretty much a Galaxy Note 4
Cons
- Expensive compared to the Galaxy Note 4
- Not enough uses for the curved edge
- Not ideal for left-handed users
- Pretty much a Galaxy Note 4

Its flagship specs and ostentatiously useful edge panel make it one of the best smartphones you can buy… as long as you've got the cash.Yahoo80Samsung Galaxy Note Edge Review: Curve Your EnthusIf you’re a serious Samsung fanboy and have the money to burn, the Note Edge won’t disappoint you. But for everyone else out there, stick with the Note 4.phoneArena90Samsung Galaxy Note Edge ReviewAfter using it for a while, though, the Edge seems to serve more as a gimmick and a show-off feature rather than something that brings a substantial benefit to functionality. And it definitely does not justify the high price of this concept-to-reality phone.The Verge80Samsung Galaxy Note Edge reviewThe most important thing to know about the Galaxy Note Edge is that while it does feel like a crazy, experimental device, it’s also just a really solid smartphone.Digital Trends80Samsung Galaxy Note Edge reviewIf you want to live on the bleeding edge (no pun intended) and are a multitasking fiend, it doesn’t get much better than the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge. Still, we’d wait for the price to drop and more apps to join in on Samsung’s next mad adventure.

I like edge screen because it's very usefull and not dthat big problem for handling.. Performance are very good.. The phone looks beautifull.. S pen much better than before. Small problem battery life and I think it's little expensive..P.S sorry on my Eng. :-)Engadget Reader100November 17, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I am absolutely in love with this phone. I have a history of using Samsung phones (S2 and S4) and was really excited picking this phone up. It has exceeded my expectations. I picked it up on launch day and have been using it for approximately 3 days so far.I love the way this phone looks to begin with. You have to see the bent glass in person to really get a sense of how cool it looks. Photos and videos so far have not captured it very well. The display is crystal clear bright and the bend around the edge really sets it off.I have found the edge to be extra helpful. I do not need to use my notification tray as much anymore as everything is now on the edge. I can see how many emails and missed calls I have while not leaving the screen I am currently on. Also, incoming phone calls are displayed on the edge and you swipe to receive/dismiss them. I bought the portfolio case to go on the back and have enjoyed checking my notifications without waking the whole screen.
