I just bought this in 2017 and it's beyond worth it and still competes today. this is how you know cell phone technology is at a Plato, a 3 year smart phone still stands toe to toe with the new phones and give you features you haven't seen since the note 4. This phone with the Samsung multimedia smarty dock is a complete PC replacement. The note 5 toke way to much away just to up the design some, Like the note 5 has no MHL out so you can't connect to screens via HDMI connectors, only screen cast screen cast had a delay.
I have this phone and was waiting for a note edge 2 because I got used to the true edge screen. Using a note 9 and miss the IR sensor, dlna and the screen. Only got the 9 because my edge screen cracked , I was eligible for a note 6 but held out for the note 7. I was hyped up and excited top get the note 7 then all that shit happened lol, the note edge was still getting updates Dec 2018! This phone is a landmark just like the fold.
I have never used a Samsung phone. Even now I'm using an Iphone 6 plus, But I gotta hand it to Samsung... they are essentially the only innovators (good & bad) in the smartphone market these days. What has apple, lg, motorola, htc done these days in terms of innovative technology? Everything these days is just slight upgraded hardware and software tweeks. No one seems to venture out and take bold risks to actually go above and beyond, except Samsung. For as much criticism they have taken this last year, they are the only real innovator trying to break barriers while every other smartphone manufacturer is playing it safe. So in that respect, I give them credit where credit is due.
SAMSUNG is the only brand that actually knows how to do phablets that justify the FUCKING GIANT SIZE... This isn't just a big version of another phone.
I totally agree with you the iPhone 6 plus is a blown up iPhone 6, the nexus 6 is a blown up moto x, the Z ultra is a blown up xperia Z, but the Galaxy Note has software options and a stylus that make you want to use a phablet not just use a huge phone with no software features
Chad Overton That's true, I had the Xperia Z Ultra... powerfull, beautifull screen and fast as shit, but... the software was the same of the rest of the Z-Family.
I'm still using my Samsung galaxy note edge and I love it! Rooted with custom kernel and Android marshmallow with updated ui, this phone is a beast! Multitasking is taken to another level and all long term users of this phone know exactly what i'm talking about. This phone can still go head to head with some of the best from today's market
I swapped a s6 edge for a note edge best swap I've ever made brill screen battery lasts easy a day spen the edge wow what a phone even by today's standards
Works like a champ still it is getting a bit older but still usable even now I would suggest investing into 3200mah battery and an 128gb SD card if your using it today been using it for about a week battery seems to last 4-8 hours depending use and most apps are downloadable but I wouldn't game on it or use it for vr either great phone to have if your a righty sadly I'm not so interfaces can get annoying
Love that it connects to my tvs and also even apple devices over WiFi or the phone sensor. I picked mine up for $20 CAD included was a 2200 mah battery and 32gb sd not bad at all for a 2014 phone and the camera just barely gets away in 2023 for being good
It's also a vr capable phone if you can find a gear vr for cheap and some velcro you can mod it to fit inside the headset with a sort of home aid strap and it works fine, the ram is 3GB and is just the sweet spot for getting away as usable in 2023 I would suggest going into the developer options and turning animation scale and duration scale to off as it makes the phone feel more fluent and fast
This is the beginning of a new trend for samsung, I can't wait to see the perfected Edge 2 in the fall of 2015. You know sammy will improve on this winner. SGS6 Edge in May maybe...? Fingers cross. For new lets enjoy this beauty.
The Note is the best all around phone. If you don't like it stock root it that's the beauty of Android. Ever since I rooted my Epic 4g some years ago, I've been hook on samsung. Samsung is boss when it comes to hardware "internal". Plus the support on XDA is overwhelmingly amazing. I buy a new phone every six months but I always run back to my Note. HTC's venom rom is a plus.
Jose R I don't think they're getting paid off. It's very clear whenever a reviewer is paid. Example: phone arena, and the verge. I think Michael genuinely liked the phone, I still wouldn't get it (I love my g3)
Kris Kaop I just recently bought this in 2017. I also bought the Samsung Galaxy smart dock, 3 extra batteries and a battery cradle and I have it hooked to my flat screen with a keyboard and mouse. with the dock, I have a PS3 joystick plugged into the dock and I play GTA and 2k off my phone. I love going over friends houses and control their TV, their blown away. they don't even have a remote to they're own TV and here I come with a smart phone that controls their TV and cable box. This is a swish army knife for smart phones, replacement pc, gaming system, smart phone. the smart dock came out with the note 2 and was compatible with the s4 up to s6 and from the note 2 up to note 4, note 5 does not have MHL out and is not compatible with the Samsung smart dock, that with removable back, SD card and IR blatter made me buy the note 4 over the 5 in 2017 and i opted for the note edge just to have the edge over other smart phones. 😂😂😂
Kris Kaop the note edge is running on 6.0.1 currently which is the same UI as the note 5. People who originally liked the first note loved big phones. The note 5 looks like a big phone but feels like a small phone. I am 6'2 so I have big hands and the note 5 feels smaller then the note 4 or edge which is something I don't like. Note 5 doesn't have MHL out, so you can't connect the note 5 to hdmi like the note 4 can. It's way more things and features on the note 4 then on the note 5. The note 4 and note edge is the last full featured smart phone from Samsung .everything after those two had been to focused on design over features that their starting to go backwards. Batteries have a shelf life of 1-3 years max. So, all the phones with solid Unibodies will become trash once the battery start showing age and use while the note 4 and edge will keep trucking and competing.
JayDeePLUS BEATZ Note 5 is running grace ux as for noughat update with many more s pen features from the note 7. with the note 5 we are getting note 8 features soon with port this cannot be donr on edge bec it does not have noughat. batteries do wear after 2 years and is replacable on note 5 specially under warranty.
Kris Kaop I haven't seen anything new in nougat to make me sacrifice all the great things that I love and only get with the note 4 and note edge . The only way I would upgrade and sacrifice is if they came out with new battery technology that wasn't lithium ion and could literally lay a full week without charging. Their making these higher power demanding screens with battery tech from 2001. They are maxing our current battery tech to the point of exploding. I want everything that the note 4 did (removable back or battery, MHL out, IR blaster, SD card) with a very long endurance battery in the note 8. If the note 8 comes out with another 3000, 3200, or 3400mah battery, Samsung is yet again sacrifice functionality over design to " compete" with Apple and iPhone
cool person the most interesting thing in New cell phone tech is the new 5g Lte. And if the note 8 doesn't have 5g reciever then it's not that future proof

Jose R , regarding that comment, he's giving you both sides. There's little available now which you'll have to live with, but the potential is there for other developers. He's not trying to convince you to buy it either. He's just simply letting you know these are the little things you get. Just like Michael's other videos on other Android OEMs, he's just simply presenting both sides. There's nothing suspicious. Being balanced doesn't mean you have to spend equal time giving positives and negatives. It means presenting a balance of quality of the device's strengths and weakness. It's less quantitative.
jumping from ex phone dog aaron baker, to androidauthority's joshua, initially i felt that Michael Fisher's lacks energy in his presentation. After being accustomed to him, i think he is the more formal presenter and well articulated reviewer :) I do hope he can bring it one aspect's of Erica's review which is the display colour accuracy :)
DarkPa1adin I'd prefer Michael not go down the Erica route on displays. I like that his is less technical and allows him not to nitpick over screen quality which I find Erica do too much.
My note 4 have replaced my iPad , it's been like 3 months and I still in love with my phone .this it's truly and amasing product .I can't afford the edge but maybe in the future hu? Nice video fisher, love your reviews!!!!
I have this phone, I don't know what could be an upgrade from this, it does everything. Sure some phones have faster processors, big deal, It's still pretty good for the next few years.
+Jk K I currently have the note 4 and there is nothing out yet to make me wanna update because everything I want in a phone is in the note 4 already except maybe a water proof note 6 perhaps
I wish this kind of edge multitasking was available in the s6 and s7 edge phones. Or, you know, it'd be cool if samsung released a note edge 2 and used the edge screen as a second screen like in the LG V20, pretty much like they did in this phone but better and more advertised...
2020 and that phone doesn't get old. I have the SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 20 ULTRA 5G (512GB Internal Memory) 1TB SD CARD. 12GB DDR5 RAM. The Note lines are the best so far!🙂👍
love my note edge. have done art work on it. the edge i use all the time, for music, app launch, notifs, calls, msm. was ready to buy note5 then found that no microSD, so i went amazon and got brand new, never sold, unlocked note edge. 1of best deczns ever made.
go for it. you will not regret it. the edge screen is wonderful. I use it as much as the main screen. you will never want to go back to a one-screen phone.
Got my edge phone a few days ago, most stores don't even stock them yet. I cannot say enough about the functionality and amazing picture and screen quality. Best decision in a long time, and as far as the battery life. charged it full by 9pm last evening and now tonight at 11pm sti showing 32% after several hours of talk and ot of twitter tumler instagram and snapchat all day today. Much better performance overall than my nexus I just retired.
It's a great phone. But a common issue is dropped calls.. I don't actually make a ton of calls but I experience dropped calls more frequently for it to be a fluke. I have found info online that supports this issue. Hopefully Samsung will correct this soon
Thanks for the awesome review :) Your videos are beyond perfect, super nice product shots and terrific editing! :) Keep up the good work Captain! :P :)
Imo the Galaxy note series will only grow in popularity in the future which is more than I can say for some of their other models. Have to say I would seriously consider this phone in phone in future.
The only oem to think ahead of the future is samsung. Lg seems to copy anything that samsung pulls off and htc with the premium design feel. And apple's got you covered if you are the brand and fast update type. There's literally everything for all kinds of people so stop throwing hate words if you claim to be fanboy of perticular one. Cause everyone of them is best at what they do.
Lg doesn't just copy Samsung. You could say every manufacturer copied lg with the Prada. But we don't. Because nice features should be shared. I bet if samsung took something of lg's you wouldn't say anything.
the edge was made for drivers to avoid touching the phone and able to read the notifications a lot faster. apparently this helps drivers not to get into a car accident...
If Stock Android has Multi-Window support and other cool features which takes advantage of the screen size, I would cry of joy. By the way Great review like always Michael.
Kerry Webb that is what he said. If stock android had multi-window support, he would cry of joy. That means, stock android (lollipop) does not have multi-window support yet.
I never used any if Samsung phone before. and 2 months ago I got note edge and I love it, also it is a limited phone. And now I am waiting for Sony xperia z5 premium 4k display 😮
+Praze E Nokias lost their battle, cause windows arent make Nokia the same phone we used to have. Max? Too large, but of course Moto X is top phone in android, but now i am saving money for Sony Xperia z5 premium. I love that phone.
I have the Droid turbo, but I just ordered the note edge alone wit the watch. I have the Moto 360 as well. But after researching this phone I had to order it. Now if my turbo had a bigger phone screen I would b ok. But if it had a bigger screen the battery life would not b that good. I've been rockin mnoto for years and this will be my 1st Samsung..I can't wait ti get it. And that curve edge is just ...right on...!!!!!!!!
Reminds me of that old android phone with two screens, one small one at the bottom for notifications and what not. I wonder if this will flop that hard.
Love how this reviewer seems like he cant stand to say anything good about it but can't deny the phone is badass. I dont have one, i still have my Note 3, but having owned quite a few smartphone over the past almost decade, my note is by far the best and most useful of the smart phones I have ever had. This guy needs to stop his love affair with apple and accept Samsung as the best developer of smart phones currently around. That may change in awhile, but right now, Samsung is the undisputed top dog.
Most of the guys at Pocketnow used US carrier versions of Samsung phones and complained about Touchwiz being laggy. They also hate plastic claiming it's cheap. Glass isn't any better as it's a fingerprint magnet and fragile.
That should have a curve on both sides BUT not as small as on the S6 edge. Than it would look better. It might feel wierd and I hate when the powerbutton is on top.
I get 6.5 hours onscreen time on my Note Edge.. u just need to read the XDA Note Edge forums on how to optimize the phone... iv put a power button app on the edge screen so no problem with the power button on top... it s is a very comfortable phone for me. I don't know why he says it's not great to hold.. the edge screen makes the phablet format user friendly for one handed use. I just don't know how he got 2 folders on the edge i only have 1 ?!?!
Though the edge screen is nice it doesn't scroll if you touch the homescreen which is a no go for me ..If all it does is notifications I could save some money and continue using my smartwatch
What phone give you that special, above the rest, cutting edge design feel? This is it! Sometimes we like living on the edge, safely, this is it! Sometimes we like to be the rare few who owe that premium, cutting edge thing that give us a leading edge appeal, this is it! Is Note Edge amount all mobile phones cutting edge and leading edge? I do see that edge!
Hi, I just bought a used note edge from a mobile shop but my battery is going down realy fast like 1 hour of use takes 30% of battery. battery just looks fine plz tell me what should I do I am thinking to return it.
That should have a curve on both sides BUT not as small as on the S6 edge. Than it would look better. It might feel wierd and I hate when the powerbutton is on top. I don't also like the look of the unsymmetrically weird looking device.
you dont need a curved display on the side to show a ruler though... All other android phones can serve as a ruler without a curved display at the side. Even a real ruler is flat. Unless you really want to measure your foot while watching some youtube while replying your twitter messages
Whatever the reviews or the reviewer's say i want this, Unlike all the fucking budget smart phones!! Even if it's not an excellent phone i still would definitely go for it.
Hello all. Please can someone tell me how I turn off the edge scree, when the Galaxy Note Edge is in standby mode? When the screen is black, you still have that Galaxy Note Edge line written on the edge screen. I always have the impression it will consume a lot of battery. Also in my pocket, I'm afraid it might launch apps unnecessarily. Thanks.
I think you are being unfair to the EDGE Michael. I really do. The EDGE is a great phone. It is like having the coolest launcher on the planet. I have bought way too many crappy launchers. This is the first (expensive) launcher that makes great sense. I love the notifications it offers and the easy and quick access to everything I need. Give it a break brother.
I just bought this in 2017 and it's beyond worth it and still competes today. this is how you know cell phone technology is at a Plato, a 3 year smart phone still stands toe to toe with the new phones and give you features you haven't seen since the note 4. This phone with the Samsung multimedia smarty dock is a complete PC replacement. The note 5 toke way to much away just to up the design some, Like the note 5 has no MHL out so you can't connect to screens via HDMI connectors, only screen cast screen cast had a delay.
Watching this on a note 9, close to the end of 2018. You can tell this was the beginning of what they transformed into now.
I have this phone and was waiting for a note edge 2 because I got used to the true edge screen. Using a note 9 and miss the IR sensor, dlna and the screen. Only got the 9 because my edge screen cracked , I was eligible for a note 6 but held out for the note 7. I was hyped up and excited top get the note 7 then all that shit happened lol, the note edge was still getting updates Dec 2018! This phone is a landmark just like the fold.

For some reason, it doesn't look old even today. The edge screen still looks futuristic.😆😇

Joey Kiler I have the note edge, and the battery is literally shit.

Cause everyone of them is best at what they do.
Lg doesn't just copy Samsung. You could say every manufacturer copied lg with the Prada. But we don't. Because nice features should be shared. I bet if samsung took something of lg's you wouldn't say anything.
In 98% lg and 2% Motorola.
One of the best looking mobile ever made.Wish it has glass back. I'm waiting for the note10.It will look similar to the S10 next
This guy is the best smartphone reviewer on youtube.
I dare say it... but he is even better than MKBHD. He should be doing all of Pocketnow reviews.
Great review Michael.
I still want this phone
Same I miss edge displays on Samsung phones
I have it. Love it.
the edge was made for drivers to avoid touching the phone and able to read the notifications a lot faster. apparently this helps drivers not to get into a car accident...
I know how Samsung phones are but when see this makes me think: God this phone is freaking cool!!?
One of the best and most insightful review i've seen in ages.
Who would've thought that this was such a good idea that is now one of the main features of the S8
Looks really neat, I would like to judge this in person though. Holding the phone looks like a hassle. Great review though
If Stock Android has Multi-Window support and other cool features which takes advantage of the screen size, I would cry of joy. By the way Great review like always Michael.
Kerry Webb that is what he said. If stock android had multi-window support, he would cry of joy. That means, stock android (lollipop) does not have multi-window support yet.
Shellyman Studios you got your wish.
I'm getting one this weekend! Any chance it will be on sale for Christmas?
I never used any if Samsung phone before. and 2 months ago I got note edge and I love it, also it is a limited phone. And now I am waiting for Sony xperia z5 premium 4k display 😮
is it a bad phone
+Praze E its great phone and this is a true inivation. And that Edge is soooooo useful
+Edmundas K ok your gonna help me please. nokia lumia 1520 or htc max vs moto x pure. which phone would you choose.
+Praze E Nokias lost their battle, cause windows arent make Nokia the same phone we used to have. Max? Too large, but of course Moto X is top phone in android, but now i am saving money for Sony Xperia z5 premium. I love that phone.
ladies and gentlemen, the future iPhone 7s plus air pro
Lol
introducing iedge
With no headphone jack
Hanif Halimi lol 2018 and were is apple with tim crooks hahahaha stealing money and making shit iphones
Switching to this from an iPhone 5 next month! This has many cool features that iOS lacks. However, I will miss the exclusive apps on iOS.
Android has some exclusive apps just like apple has some exclusive apps.
I like it. I'm going to order. Thanks for the the helpful info.
Great video Michael keep up the good work..!!
I have the Droid turbo, but I just ordered the note edge alone wit the watch. I have the Moto 360 as well. But after researching this phone I had to order it. Now if my turbo had a bigger phone screen I would b ok. But if it had a bigger screen the battery life would not b that good. I've been rockin mnoto for years and this will be my 1st Samsung..I can't wait ti get it. And that curve edge is just ...right on...!!!!!!!!
"if Samsung releases more curved edged phones" lol 2016 most popular phone is dual edged
umm....no!!! it's the iPhone 6,6s and 7
Some Unknown Channel no is the s7
Some Unknown Channel lol good joke
Can I swipe pictures with sensor without touch screen like note 3 and pixel 4?
title: the ultimate samsung smartphone
video: is the note edge the best galaxy note there is? not necessarily.
um
Ultimate in terms of pure features however that does not necessarily mean it's the best.
we need more phone companies pushing the envelope in phone design!
Hahaha when I press the video, the advertisement is the samsung galaxy note edge, same as the video XD
Reminds me of that old android phone with two screens, one small one at the bottom for notifications and what not. I wonder if this will flop that hard.
Love how this reviewer seems like he cant stand to say anything good about it but can't deny the phone is badass. I dont have one, i still have my Note 3, but having owned quite a few smartphone over the past almost decade, my note is by far the best and most useful of the smart phones I have ever had. This guy needs to stop his love affair with apple and accept Samsung as the best developer of smart phones currently around. That may change in awhile, but right now, Samsung is the undisputed top dog.
Most of the guys at Pocketnow used US carrier versions of Samsung phones and complained about Touchwiz being laggy. They also hate plastic claiming it's cheap. Glass isn't any better as it's a fingerprint magnet and fragile.
Very solid review as always Michael :)
That should have a curve on both sides BUT not as small as on the S6 edge. Than it would look better. It might feel wierd and I hate when the powerbutton is on top.
which one looks & Feel better Black or White?
I'm very interested in this phone but I want to see it with a phone case. is it secure and will it protect the screen with the curve edge pocket now?
I get 6.5 hours onscreen time on my Note Edge.. u just need to read the XDA Note Edge forums on how to optimize the phone... iv put a power button app on the edge screen so no problem with the power button on top... it s is a very comfortable phone for me. I don't know why he says it's not great to hold.. the edge screen makes the phablet format user friendly for one handed use. I just don't know how he got 2 folders on the edge i only have 1 ?!?!
"Take the Edge off" - LOL, I liked that.
I'm an Apple fan, a loyal one, but I'm interested in this one.
I will definitely upgrade to Note 5 next year :D
The first & the last true edge screen. 😊No phone out there looks the same.The note FE looks similar.
watching this 4 years later on my samsung s8 plus
2022 and im still using my note edge
And look how far this has taken us
iam very confused ..
note 4 or edge ?!
Though the edge screen is nice it doesn't scroll if you touch the homescreen which is a no go for me ..If all it does is notifications I could save some money and continue using my smartwatch
Watching this on 2020
Battery life on this edge is bad. Returned it and stayed with my note 4. The edge also had constant Bluetooth issues with my 2015 crv.
What phone give you that special, above the rest, cutting edge design feel? This is it!
Sometimes we like living on the edge, safely, this is it!
Sometimes we like to be the rare few who owe that premium, cutting edge thing that give us a leading edge appeal, this is it!
Is Note Edge amount all mobile phones cutting edge and leading edge? I do see that edge!
How did you apply the dark theme in this phone? There is no theme setting in my phone.
Problem developer mode in settings, you can force dark mode.
There's no dark mode
I love the recurring oddities Phone companies are making especially Samsung's latest oddity lol! Definitely going to be on top of my wish list :)
I still have it in 2021
Michael. How to sort out the over heat on this device, Also why can't it system update.It won't update.
Hi, I just bought a used note edge from a mobile shop but my battery is going down realy fast like 1 hour of use takes 30% of battery. battery just looks fine plz tell me what should I do I am thinking to return it.
Great review, again.
Who's watching this in 2018vand 2019?
Could've done something with the middle of the screen
michael fisher: living life on the edge
M. Fisher,
Is there a phone that you do like? Do you like Android phones? Doesn't seem like it lately.
That should have a curve on both sides BUT not as small as on the S6 edge. Than it would look better. It might feel wierd and I hate when the powerbutton is on top. I don't also like the look of the unsymmetrically weird looking device.
you dont need a curved display on the side to show a ruler though... All other android phones can serve as a ruler without a curved display at the side. Even a real ruler is flat. Unless you really want to measure your foot while watching some youtube while replying your twitter messages
Whatever the reviews or the reviewer's say i want this, Unlike all the fucking budget smart phones!! Even if it's not an excellent phone i still would definitely go for it.
I hate how the s6 edge plues doesn't uses its edges for anything good they should of used the same stuff as the note edge
why not put the power button on the left
1:16 Wow this must be more advanced than the note 4, it has a Whack Em digitizer :'D
Hello all. Please can someone tell me how I turn off the edge scree, when the Galaxy Note Edge is in standby mode? When the screen is black, you still have that Galaxy Note Edge line written on the edge screen. I always have the impression it will consume a lot of battery. Also in my pocket, I'm afraid it might launch apps unnecessarily. Thanks.
Please do a review of Samsung Flexible prototype which was introduced at the CES
I think you are being unfair to the EDGE Michael. I really do. The EDGE is a great phone. It is like having the coolest launcher on the planet. I have bought way too many crappy launchers. This is the first (expensive) launcher that makes great sense. I love the notifications it offers and the easy and quick access to everything I need. Give it a break brother.
My Samsung Galaxy Note 4 if failing really bad. I think I'm gonna upgrade to this phone. Anybody know where I can get a new one at a reasonable price?
for samsung note edge, which accept 64GB or 128GB ?? tnx
