korean electronics giant samsung have drawn first blood in the latest smartphone battle with apple by announcing their highest-end device to date, the galaxy note edge. blending an evolved S pen with a superior viewing experience, samsung takes the mobile experience to the next level, by providing users a new way to access information thanks to a unique curved 5.6 inch quad HD+ super AMOLED display. the design detail offers quick access to frequently used apps, alerts and device functionality – even when the cover is closed – all with the swipe of a thumb. users can also receive notifications directly on the edge screen while watching videos without any distraction.

equipped with a 2.7 ghz quad-core processor running android’s 4.4 kitkat operating system, the galaxy note edge also steps up their camera game with an advanced camera system able to reproduce brighter and clearer images. the smartphone is equipped with a 16 megapixel rear-facing camera featuring a smart optical image stabilizer that counter-balances camera shake and automatically extends exposure time in dark settings. in addition, a 3.7 megapixel front-facing camera with f1.9 maximum aperture offers a default 90 degree shooting angle and up to 120 degree wide angle so users can take great shots with friends and family.

with a fast charging feature and ultra power saving mode, the galaxy note edge charges faster and ensures that users don’t run out of power when they need it most. the device also comes equipped with multiple microphones and an improved speaker phone for better noise cancellation when speaking in loud environments. a built-in voice recorder offers eight different directional voice tagging and a selective playback capability that allows users to isolate and listen to specific voices in a group conversation. the smartphone also offers an improved fingerprint scanner, to secure personal data and the world’s first UV sensor in a mobile device.
