Luke Au, Head of Product Marketing, Mobile Division, Samsung Malaysia Electronics launching the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge
While it has been available in Malaysia since 6 February 2015, we managed to get some hands-on time with the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge. Retailing at RM2999, the smartphone with a bended or curved display will be available in charcoal black and misty white. The Note Edge offers the same features as the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, right down to the improved S-Note, photo note and Air Command menu. However, it's extra curved strip of touchscreen adds on a row of customizable buttons, a notification center when you're watching or doing something else on the main screen and acting as the cover window to help save energy when you have the cover on. In short, it acts like an independant or extra screen for the Note Edge. It is a known fact that production of the Note Edge is limited, so if you want it, you'd better get it while you can. Check out the tech specs and our hands-on pictures of the Note Edge below.
