Still has the same gorgeous screen as the Note 4 ; Strong all-round camera performance ; Great for gaming

Curved screen is not very useful ; Battery life is less than Note 4 ; Very expensive SIM-free

So, what happens when you add an extra curved screen to an otherwise great one? Well, aside from working independently from the main display from a software point of a view, not a great deal. There's no discernible difference between the two.

Innovative curved display ; Excellent QHD screen ; Full of features

S Pen still questionable ; Only a day of battery life ; Struggles with high performance

A superb-looking handset that offers something brand-new, but there's still a way to go for the curved, second screen experience.

A showcase of what’s possible in phone design, edge screen operation far more useful/interesting than anticipated, great screen, powerful, decent camera, multi-tasking via multi-window and S Pen stylus included

Battery not as good as Note 4, button arrangement shortcomings, a fingerprint magnet, rear plastic build quality, some multi-tasking shortcomings, third-party edge panel apps to be proven, expensive

The Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is certainly a spectacle that will turn heads, and while we still can't see it taking off as the next big thing in terms of volume sales, it's a mighty fine modification of the Galaxy Note 4. We thought the Edge would be...

Samsung's Galaxy Note Edge certainly brings something new and unique to the table. The Edge is a great addition to the Note series and the camera captures fantastically detailed photos. While the graphic performance may not be as great as the iPhone 6...

Although the Galaxy S6 Edge has some better hardware than the Note Edge and a nicer design we don't think it's worth the large sum of money extra - perhaps when the price drops. Unless you're left handed, the Galaxy Note Edge does the feature better.

The Galaxy Note Edge is one of the most interesting smartphones around and while the edge screen is genuinely useful at times, it also remains a slight gimmick. Hardware is top notch and although we dislike the faux leather, build quality is good. The...

Innovative, beautiful display ; Excellent performance ; Best-in-class connectivity

Poor support for Edge Screen ; Awkward ergonomics ; Expensive

The biggest barrier for the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is that it’s one of the most expensive handsets on the market right now, especially if you want it free on a contract, but it’s a device that needs to exist whether you think it makes sense or not..

Curve has genuine value ; Good camera ; Feature-packed and powerful

Very expensive ; Battery life isn’t great ; A very wide mobile

Distinctive but not crazy, the Note Edge is next-gen design that works – with caveats

The Samsung Galaxy Note Edge's curved, asymmetrical shape and brand-new interface deliver a cutting-edge design that really lives up to its name.

It's wider and much pricier than the Note 4 without dramatically increasing the phone's functionality. You'll have to adapt to navigating from a second screen.

Samsung's swooshing Galaxy Note Edge is a triumph of novel design, but its high price tag and minimal extra usability make for a niche appeal.
