[Gadget Alert] Samsung releases Galaxy Note Edge

Samsung Electronics released Galaxy Note Edge, a sibling model of the company's latest flagship Galaxy Note 4.

SK Telecom will be the first carrier to offer the device, with KT and LG Uplus set to offer it by the middle of November.

The Note Edge has a cured edge screen in the right side, which functions independently from the main screen.

The curved display contains not only date, time and alarm information when on standby, but also some contextual controlling features, notifications like latest news, app shortcuts and stock information.

It has a 5.6-inch Quad HD Super active matrix organic light emitting diodes (Super-AMOLED) touch screen with 2560 x 1600 pixels resolution. The edge is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chipset with a quad-core 2.7 gigahertz (GHz) processor. It comes in two colors, charcoal black and frost white.

Samsung installed 16-megapixel rear camera and 3.7-megapixel front camera on the device, the same specs as the ones installed in the Galaxy Note 4.

The factory price of the Note Edge is 1.06 million won, according to the company.
