The concept of the Galaxy Note Edge may sound strange, but just a few minutes on his hands to show that the idea is interesting.
The Edge is a slightly modified version of the Galaxy Note 4, also released in Europe Monday. Its screen is 5.6 inches while the original is 5.7 inches. It may seem little, but it is exactly this that makes the 0.1 inch Edge so promising, or at least the concept behind the appliance.
