Samsung is known for bringing the experimental devices in the Android market. Few years ago, Galaxy Note series was an experiment and now just launched one more experimental device the Galaxy Note Edge, which is getting popular because of its display.
Display of Galaxy Note Edge is based on the Super AMOLED panel measuring 5.6 inches, has a resolution of 2560 x 1440. As in the case of the Note 4, the screen Note Edge is very bright and pleasing to the eye an excellent viewing angle. Additional same 160 pixels curved surface allow the device to be recognized among other mobile devices. Although Samsung is positioning the screen resolution and Phablet as 2560 x 1440 + 160, but in reality it is a monolithic display, and the transition to the bent portion is emphasized only by means of software.

As for the practical application of this feature Note Edge, then all is very controversial. We will first explain that managed to implement at a decent level. Firstly, the curved edge does not react to accidental contact. Second, the actions associated with the curved portion of the screen seem very logical and well thought-out. Swipe from the edge of the screen expands the main panel, which we described below. Follow swipe used to navigate between the other activated panels. Swipe from the bottom starts setting sub-screen, swipe from the top toolbar opens (stopwatch, ruler). Once you start to interact with the screen content on the curved part is minimized.
If we talk about the panels, which are available on the second screen then there would find not so much. The most important is called "Favorite Applications". It can accommodate up to seven frequently used applications and folders. Amount of content can be increased, but in this case you have to use scrolling. Another panel includes information with S Health - the number of steps, distance and calorie consumption. Furthermore, an additional screen can tell you about what's happening on Twitter; tell us about the results of the games selected sports teams (panel Yahoo Sports); show news headlines from Yahoo News and Yahoo Finance; talk about the weather and inform about missed calls, messages and notifications (Briefing); show a list of contacts (Contacts); and display some of the function S Note launcher. In addition, on the second screen, you can play cards (Memory Match). In Google Play there are 8 panels, which can be downloaded separately.
This extra screen also displays notifications that are scrolled vertically. However, to choose which applications will send notifications to the bent portion of Note Edge is impossible at present. Additional space also enjoyed music players and camera application, placing it controls. Another use for the bent portion of the display - a time display. The thing is that the additional screen can be turned into clock. Thus, Note Edge will show the time, date and alarm message, which is very handy if the phone is charging at night somewhere next to the bed.
But still it has limited flexibility and we hope with the next launch of the device like, Samsung would recover it. Also, Samsung story won’t end here with the just release of Note Edge 2, for later 2015 there are two more devices that are rumoured to launch, first is the Samsung and next device is Samsung but there is no proper information available at present.
