The good thing is it's asymmetrical shape and brand new interface deliever a cutting edge design that lives up to its name.

MSRP - $399.99

AT&T - $399.99

Sprint - $429.99

Low Price - $399.99

Amazon.com - $429.99

Note Edge Side Curve



Samsung has tried to do something new and different with Note Edge but I personally won't pick it over the excellent Note 4, main reason will be its higher price. The only extra bit the Edge will offers you is novelty factor that is curved screen adds. Samsung spent a great deal of effort and energy to change the way people navigate their phones without vitally deepening what you get out of it.

I personally like the Note Edge but it doesn't blow my mind. Unless you are after a stand out device of the future and have cash to burn, skip the Edge for another high-end smartphone.
