According to the BBC article, the note 4 includes a UV sensor to record your exposure to sunlight. The only problem is you need to leave to phone out for it to work!

Maybe it will come to select operators as an exclusive and be announced in the coming weeks? There's bound to be a few networks that will think it give them, cough, an edge. I certainly didn't get any press release this afternoon about its release in the UK, but got them on the Note 4 and all the Sony Xperia devices announced. |

So what's this about the Note Edge? Is this a sister phone to the new Note 4? Is it another flagship alongside the Note 4?

I don't like the edge. I think it needs to be on both sides, symmetry might help.

According to Android Authority, all major US carriers are getting the Edge so not Asia only.

Wow, that's something you don't see everyday! Definetely looks cool with top notch specs to boot.
Interesting phone but wouldn't it make sense to have the 'edge' on both sides? Or is that going to be what the Note Edge 2 will be? Lol. |

Blimey, I dunno whether it's worse to think Samsung just went with a half-assed idea or that somebody at Samsung thought it was a good idea. |

Besides looking "cool", what exactly is the point of the curved display? What does that extra bit of screen ad to the user's experience?

I assume that the convex curve is designed to fit into pockets better or something. Personally, I think the whole thing is just a case of companies investing money in curved screens and then flogging them before the technology is properly mature as a means of getting some return on their investment. |

Do you guys think this is a worthwhile upgrade from the Note 3? I that the N4 is going to be faster but it's not a great deal faster. I feel like I should just hang on to my N3 for the time being but I' like to hear other people's opinion's in case they could sway my decision.

It does seem the curve is on the wrong side for right handed people

Pick up your phone. The left hand edge will be obscured by your hand (unless you are a cacker). This is why they have made it asymmetrical.

I really like the concept of the note edge. I get a feeling it might become mainstream.

I'm also gonna stick with my Note 3. Need to take it in for repair as somehow its got dirt inside the camera lens recently. Spec wise the Note 4 is quite a marginal improvement so I'm happy to run through the second year of my contract before upgrading.

Apologies for not keeping up with this thread as have been away for a few days. After finally seeing the Note 4 reveal, it has near enough made my decision to get one once it gets released as imho it is a major step up to my dated S3. The only thing I have to wait on now is the tariffs and any upfront payment needed.

Expect it to be a lot at time of release. The operators know it can make money from them.
I do hope we don't see some crazy tariffs that give just 512MB of data and the like to keep the price down! |

I've decided I'm going to stick with my Note 3 as well. Dropped it outside today on concrete while I was going to meet my sister and expected the screen to be shattered or cracked at least, but there's not a blemish on the screen, really fantastic device.
