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.
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 didnβt 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."
Ever since one first saw the Galaxy Note Edge, one thought about how fragile and exposed that hanging screen was. When one heard that the Galaxy Note Edge would only be available in 1 million units, one thought that Samsung might have recognized the design flaw in the device and decided that it doesnβt want any major lawsuits saying that the hanging edge screen was not properly protected. But now, the Galaxy Note Edge is going on sale in the U.S. and Samsung has addressed the issue of damage to the screen.
No one is lining up for this crazy device.
