A displayed curved smartphone Galaxy Note Edge coming to the side
notebook-laptopA novel shape.
"Galaxy Note Edge" was introduced with Galaxy Note 4, which appeared brilliantly at Samsung's Anpack event being held at IFA.It is an interesting terminal that can be operated on the side of the main unit with a "bent screen" that is different from the curved surface display that has come out of LG etc. so far.The US gigging reporter Darren has been hands -on immediately, so I will introduce it.
＊ ＊ ＊Galaxy Note Edge is a terminal equivalent to the premium line of Galaxy Note 4, with the same basic specifications.A 3,200mAh battery is equipped with a 16 -megapixel camera, S pen, Snapdragon 805 processor, and QHD resolution OLED display.The only difference is the bent screen on the right side of the main unit.Of course there is no bezel.It is exactly the "future display technology" that I have dreamed of.
The size of the organic EL display is 5.It is 6 inches, but it looks a little smaller when viewed from the front because the display is broken.The power button moves to the top of the main unit, not the right side.And it works like a ticker that displays the stock price on the screen on the side.Swipe on the left allows you to change the display contents, and you can display "Twitter's trend sports score, news headline, stock price."You can also register your favorite app.
In the camera application and S -note app, you can also use the side as a toolbox.It's like using a dual monitor on a PC.
In the standby mode, the side of the main unit operates as a low -power consumption "Night Clock Mode", and the time can be displayed at the time.It is a function that seems to be useful to glanced at the information on a commuter train.It can be reversed up and down the screen for left -handed people, but it may be subtle if it is said that it is easy to use because the location of the home button and volume button does not change.
In the hands -on, I tried various things because I was wondering if the side buttons would occur when holding the main unit, but there was no problem.Other apps need to use their own SDK to use this side display.Samsung says that it is not so difficult to use SDK, but it is unknown how many apps that are on the market correspond.
Galaxy Note 4 Edge is scheduled for AT & T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile in the United States.The price and appearance time are undecided, but it will be higher than Galaxy Note 4.It's a premium model.Galaxy Note 4 Edge, equipped with a bent curved surface display that has been often seen in the world of science fiction movies so far, can it be a future trend?
＊ ＊ ＊It's a design that can change the concept of the display so far.I never thought I would have a function on the side.I hope it will be released in Japan too ...
