The Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Edge, pictured above, will be available to only a few select retailers.
Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, revealed new versions of the Galaxy Note smartphone on Wednesday.
The improved device features a clearer, 5.7-inch display in a metal frame and accessories designed to attract gamers. Its also equipped with an improved pen stylus and handwriting software as an alternative to typing on a keyboard.
Samsung also demonstrated a limited-edition version of the Note, The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Edge, which boasts a curved edge screen on one of the phone’s sides. This seemingly minor detail will help users stay focused on their main screen without having to respond to calendar reminders or new emails.
Since the Galaxy Note’s introduction in 2011, it has become a standard for high-end phones with its 5-inch and larger screen sizes for improved visibility. However, with Apple set to unveil its new large screen iPhone in the coming weeks, analysts wonder if the new Galaxy Note is enough to keep Samsung’s competitors at bay.
