Having kickstarted the phablet movement themselves, Samsung's new Galaxy Note Edge offers a bit of innovation and high performance in a 5.6" curve-sporting frame.
PROS
Fantastic Screen; Strong Processor; Great Camera
CONS
Curved edge functionality not fully realised; Plastic back cover quite flimsy
VERDICT
As with most Galaxy devices, the Note Edge wins on a lot of fronts, including its display, processing capabilities and 16 MP primary camera all serving as great smartphone tools. If compared to the Note 4, or subsequent Galaxy devices released during 2015, the Note Edge still has a whiff of plastic-obsessed Samsung ways about it. That said, if the back cover can be forgiven, and a couple of finger slips on the curved edge brushed aside, the Note Edge is one of the more powerful phablet devices around.
