You may not have much liked the idea, but there is no denying that there is a great deal of innovation in phablet Galaxy Note Edge. The model from Samsung is the first to rely on a secondary screen, on the left side of the device, which displays notifications and allows quick access to various functions.
The use later It was also incorporated into a version of the Galaxy S6. Although the news is interesting, it is too early to say whether the differentiated edge will work or not. The Samsung itself admits that there are still applications and invite developers to make the most of the potential resource they can.
Will this news is enough to justify the higher price Galaxy Note Edge and make it worth your purchase? That’s what we’ll find out now in this analysis. The phablet Galaxy Note Edge was on loan through the store Cissa Magazine
benchmark tests
For this analysis, we submit the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge to three benchmark applications. They are:. AnTuTu Benchmark 5, 3D Mark (Ice Storm Unlimited) and Vellamo Mobile Benchmark (HTML 5 and Metal)
AnTuTu Benchmark 5
One of the most respected benchmark applications in its class, the AnTuTu Benchmark 5 interfaces tests, CPU, GPU and RAM. The results are summed and generate a final score. The higher the score, the better the performance.
3D Mark
The test Ice Storm Unlimited, 3D Mark, is used to make direct comparisons between processors and GPUs. Factors such as display resolution can affect the final result. The higher the score, the better the performance.
Vellamo Mobile Benchmark
The Vellamo Mobile Benchmark applies two tests to the appliance, HTML5 and Metal. In the first one is rated the smartphone’s performance in direct access to the internet via browser. Since the metal test, the final number indicates the processor performance. The higher the score, the better the performance.
HTML5

design
For obvious reasons the Galaxy Note Edge draws the attention of any consumer. In addition to the 5.6-inch display, the handset has a secondary screen on the right side, accompanying the product body curve. On the one hand it facilitates access to some information, on the other this feature affect the handling, since when operating it with one hand you will always end up slipping on the auxiliary display.
The Galaxy Note Edge also comes accompanied by a S Pen and its design is almost the same as the Galaxy Note 4. The finish is of good quality. The back cover is constructed of plastic and can be removed, so that you have access to the battery and the inputs for micro SD card and SIM card.
screen
The Samsung does not usually make mistakes when it comes to screen. The Super AMOLED matrix ensures vivid colors and a high-quality image. The high resolution also allows a pixel density higher than the average, which makes the device ideal for reading or even for displaying multimedia contents. However, we note a high incidence of reflections on the screen, which is not good
The curved edge, called Edge Screen Panel allows quick access to notifications and the specific tools when certain apps are open. Thus, the user can save space on the main screen only accessing the menus listed on the secondary display. However, there are still a few features available.
Performance
Just like the Galaxy Note 4, the Edge is also one of more powerful devices in Samsung’s portfolio. In terms of performance, the product did very well in our tests, showing no crashes or choking in no time. Games that require more graphics capability will also be no problem
The transition between apps is done satisfactorily. In fact, the device can run with ease virtually everything available in the Play Store. The Snapdragon 805 processor, combined with 3GB of RAM, proves more than enough to meet the needs of all types of consumers.
Software and Interface
The TouchWiz interface, for once, does not disappoint and appears lighter than what we have seen in previous versions. While the RAM consumption remains high, the 3GB supply all needs, a guarantee that the user will not be on hand.
Integration with the secondary screen and also with the specific tools of the S Pen is the best possible. These characteristics make the use of the flexibility Galaxy Note Edge is huge, catering to almost every taste.
However, it is worth mentioning here that the side edge is still a novelty on a trial basis:. there are few resources available and the expectation of Samsung is that over time, developers are interested in the novelty and create new uses for the platform
Camera
The camera is almost the same as the Galaxy Note 4 and this is good news for the consumer. It uses the ISOCELL sensor and has focal opening 2.2. The software activation time was greatly reduced so that you can be almost instantaneous shots.
The final quality of the images is lush and the model certainly stands among the best its category. Crisp, vivid color photos with good lighting and low noise ratio in night shots are the highlights. The front camera with 3.7 megapixel resolution ensures selfies good quality.
Battery
If the battery is a key item for you, it is best to take a little care. The ability of the Galaxy Note edge is smaller than the Galaxy Note 4 and the charging time is also slightly lower. In our tests, sufficed six hours of intensive use, with games and film screenings, so that the load was over completely.
As for moderate use the device withstands well for a day of work. For most people, this feature is not a problem. However, despite good capacity we believe that consumption could be somewhat lower. Walking with the charger around is not a bad idea.
Audio
Simple and functional, the earphones accompany the Galaxy Note Edge will break a branch for most consumers. Do not expect great quality, after all they are the same included in other equipment more affordable. The sound quality of the device itself is also just regular, with a mono speaker on the back.
It is worth
The Galaxy Note Edge offers virtually the same as the Galaxy Note 4. Both are great phablets, but Edge has a lower battery life and is a bit uncomfortable to handle. However, its secondary screen can be considered innovative and practical in many times, but the idea still needs improvement.
In terms of performance, the model shows why he is one of the top Samsung’s line. There is hardly anything that the unit does not do well. The Super AMOLED screen maintains the tradition of the South Korean company to deliver good displays for their customers.
It weighs against him the fact that the TouchWiz interface is still consuming a lot of memory. However, in this case, there is plenty of RAM for all tasks, even when the unit is quite required. If you are willing to pay $ 300 more just for curved screen on the side, your choice should be the Edge. Otherwise, the Galaxy Note 4 delivers a slightly higher performance and a more affordable cost.
