We tested the Galaxy Note Edge, the father of the Galaxy S6 … – Challenges.fr

Samsung had attempted a first curved-screen smartphone. Unconvincing. He returned this time with a new curve not like the others. This is a smartphone with the strange appearance. If it looks just like a Galaxy Note 4, it contrasts with the famous infinity slab on its right side. A two-in-one in some way. Specifically, the user is left with a film camera but whose main innovation, not least, is based on a second display on the edge, completely independent from the front.

A nice way to multiply opportunities to access a lot of information quickly. By default the phone, contacts, email, Google apps, camera … but also a ruler, a chronograph, the torch function, or the voice recorder. Fan jogging can customize this toolbar by posting sports information, stock prices of the amateur, breaking news live … And so on.

This feature gives your smartphone a unique character and a design for the least singular. You do not have the hands of Mr. apparatus everyone. It certainly includes the family codes Rating 4 with his back faux leather, but with that extra extremely disturbing.

Is it really useful?

Technically, it is very successful. The join between the two screens is invisible. It is possible to customize the display incorporate his favorite apps, scroller to change the display to another, view its notifications … Useful or useless? In everyday use, quick access to its selection is handy. But for lack of content really adapted to this new format, it is still difficult to see the long-term interest. One thing is certain. Samsung believes hard as iron recurrence as with the Galaxy S6 Curved Edge this time on both sides.

The Galaxy Note Edge offers a premium if no compromise bill. 5.6-inch screen with resolution HD quad (2.560×1.440 pixels), the latest generation processor, 3GB RAM, camera 16 megapixel with video in 4K. Like every note, the Edge has the famous S Pen, the companion became essential to control the various features of the device. Making it one of the best phablettes the market.

The price is 829 euros, 100 euros more than the Note Version 4. A bill difficult to swallow. A step that technical innovation enthusiasts probably will cross. Others prefer to wait and see future developments of such functionality

We love

-. The curved screen : A technical feat that confirms the expertise of the Korean giant

Power : The Galaxy Note Edge is at the top of the hierarchy with first class technical specifications

Resolution Super AMOLED Quad HD, the best of the best

We do not like

Price 829 euros is still very expensive for a smartphone.

The lack of development supply barely emerge to exploit the innovation of the curved screen

A device for right with the screen on the right side, left-handers have to get used to do gymnastics … Or wait for the Galaxy Edge S6.
