Edge Galaxy Note: first impressions – Digital Look

The Edge Galaxy Note, Samsung’s new phablet presented in September, earned the spotlight for having a 5.6-inch curved screen. Despite only arriving in US stores tomorrow, 14, some specialized sites already had access to the device and gave his first impressions.

Overall, the screen is obviously the most talked about feature. To Gizmodo, is an “interesting experiment” and as “someone left the Salvador Dalí alone in a room with the Galaxy S4″. However, despite the innovation curve in the right side of the screen, it is not that useful attribute.

In the curved corner, the user can customize a menu for quick application, messaging, temperature, time, or notifications occupying only one line. These are common shortcuts, but at the same time, they are not worth an investment of US $ 200 more than a normal 4 Galaxy Note, according to Business Insider.

Also, to put apps in the sidebar, you need to install them from the Samsung App Store, “and not Google Play, where most users apps low,” explains Business Insider.

Another complaint is the need to use your smartphone to see the horinzotal certain options and you have to “scrub” your finger up and down on the edge. “It’s as if Samsung does not consider the context or real life. Can you imagine sitting at a conference table and slowly acaraciar your phone back to check tempetura or if you have missed calls?”, Criticizing the BGR.

Finally, Mashable also noted that the lateral curvature helps not only take the asymmetry of the phone, but ends with the “center of gravity” of the user, since the footprint of the device becomes different.

With regard to the Edge of the hardware, the sites come in agreement that it is almost the same as its predecessor, either on attributes or performance. The phablet KitKat has Android 4.4, quad-core processor clocked at 2,7GHz and 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage (expandable up to 64GB with microSD) 3,000 mAh battery and. As for the rear and front cameras are 16 and 3.7, respectively megapixels.
