The increased power with the octa-core processor, quad-HD screen and more advanced features put in check the load durability.
The Galaxy Note Edge assumes that is a foblet over total expenditures , and delivers a battery with more power, with its 3,000 mAh. The difference is not so great, especially taking into account the older hardware.
