In rock music, the Edge is the watch-cap-wearing guitarist for U2. In smartphones, the Edge is the latest curveball that Samsung is bringing to smartphone design.
Samsung said Monday its big-screen Galaxy Note Edge smartphone will be available in the US starting November 14.
The electronics giant unveiled the new phone in September, offering up a 5.6-inch display that curves around the side of the device. Users can see quick notifications along the right edge of the screen, such as sports scores, or click on app shortcuts, even while watching a video on the main screen.
The Galaxy Note Edge is one of the first major smartphone design gambles Samsung has taken that it is releasing globally. Typically, it introduces new features -- such as a concave display in the Galaxy Round or metal frames in the Galaxy Alpha smartphones -- in only a limited number of test markets, such as its home country of South Korea. Many of its more innovative devices have never reached the US.
