When the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge was first announced at the IFA in Berlin last September, it caught the attention of smartphone fans all over the world. However, it was also mentioned during the event that it will only be available in selected countries. Thankfully, after waiting for months, the Korean mobile phone giant decided to bring the Galaxy Note Edge to the Philippines.
Basically the main difference of the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge is the secondary screen which is found on the right side of the latter. It’s not just for notifications, it actually enhances the user experience. You can read the latest CNN News scrolling on the window, use it as a ruler, and a lot more if developers would support it.
