Samsung Note Edge hands-on experience: the side screen is the highlight

Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is undoubtedly the highlight of today's conference. As previously rumored, this is the first phone to use a side curved screen. While it has a 5.7-inch 2K screen, the right side of the screen adopts a sinking arc design. The 5.7-inch is actually composed of 5.6 inches on the front and 0.1 inches on the side. Compared with previous curved screens or flexible screens, it looks sharp and angular, and also creates an asymmetric feeling for the whole phone. I wonder if this design will become a design trend.

In terms of the side curved screen, Samsung has moved the shortcuts from the previous Dock to the side bar, so that you can quickly operate with one hand, and you can also customize the shortcuts. Both clicking and moving are relatively smooth. Although the curved side bar is narrow, it will not be accidentally touched due to the UI design that is separated from the main screen. When the user rotates the phone, the side bar will move to the top of the phone accordingly and continue to bear the function of quick operation.

Samsung has also designed some typical applications for the side curved screen. For example, you can receive calls or messages through this area, and you can also reject calls; in addition, you can quickly set reminders for clocks, exercise, stock markets, etc.; you can also set keywords for personalized self-expression.

At the same time, Samsung also upgraded the S Pen. The grip and friction of the pen have been improved, and the sensitivity has been increased from 1024 levels to 2048 levels. However, the overall design of the Note Edge, especially the back cover, has not changed much compared to the previous generation. It is still a plastic back cover with an imitation leather texture, so there is no need to complain about this.
