After months of rumors and speculation we finally have an official U.S. launch date for the Galaxy Note Edge. Mark your calendars because Samsung’s fancy new curved smartphone will be available in America starting next Friday, Nov. 14.
Dual-edge and edge display smartphones are getting more and more popular each day, with offerings ranging from the Galaxy Note Edge to the Xiaomi Arch and even the Galaxy S6, supposedly. OEMs are getting into the trend fast and LG is not staying behind. A dual-edge smartphone was demoed by LG at the CES 2015 exhibition, but you probably didn’t know about it because the exhibition was held behind closed doors, away from prying eyes.
TechRadar - "A superb-looking handset that offers something brand-new, but there's still a way to go for the curved, second screen experience."
We've a bit of bad news for anyone who wanted to pick up Samsung's unusual Galaxy Note Edge next week. We knew something was up when the original pre-order date of November 14th rolled around and the curved curiosity was a no-show. A Samsung spokesperson has now confirmed to us that it's facing a two-week delay, meaning the retail release has been pushed back from November 28th to December 12th. The pre-order window has also been shortened to a week, so you won't be available to reserve it from either Samsung's site or Carphone Warehouse until December 5th.
