The Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is an

Galaxy Note 4, it is distinguished by a display that curves across the right side of the device, which can be used as a sidebar to display application shortcuts, a virtual camera shutter button,[2]
notifications, and other information.

Development and release

At the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show, Samsung presented "Youm"—concept prototypes for smartphones that incorporated flexible displays. One prototype had a screen curved along the right edge of the phone, while the other had a screen curved around the bottom of the phone. Samsung explained that the additional "strip" could be used to display additional information alongside apps, such as notifications or a news ticker.[3][4][5]

The Youm concept would surface as part of the Galaxy Note Edge, which was unveiled alongside the

Galaxy Note 4 on September 3, 2014.[6] Samsung strategist Justin Denison explained that the company liked to take risks in its products, going on to say that "We're not a company that does one-offs [..] We like to do things big and get behind it."[7]

Specifications

Hardware and design

The Galaxy Note Edge is similar in design to the Galaxy Note 4 (which is in turn an evolution of the

optical image stabilization, and 4K video recording, and a 3.7 megapixel front-facing camera.[9]

Software

The Galaxy Note Edge ships with

display a digital clock while not in use. Due to the nature of AMOLED displays, which render black by not turning on the pixel at all, this mode does not significantly consume battery power, but per software limitations it cannot be active for more than 12 hours at a time.[6][8][10]
