Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge 1st Look! - Gladly - Sep 3, 2014
Samsung fanboys rejoice as two new Samsung devices were unveiled today. The Galaxy Note 4, and a newcomer I wasn't expecting, the Galaxy Note Edge, were both shown at IFA 2014. Both have nearly identical specs, except for one... weird spec on the Note Edge: it's screen dimensions. The screen extends to the side of the phone in some new gimmick Samsung is trying. What do you think of these new devices? I for one am loving the QHD AMOLED displays.
These videos did a good first look at the devices:

The Note Edge looks weird, but also seems extremely convenient. It brings way more functionality to notifications. I'd buy it.

It's an interesting concept. The only issue I see with a screen like this is even lightly dropping the phone on it's side and having your notification screen cracked.

Is the Note 4 water proof like the Samsung Galaxy s5?
If not I wont be getting it and prob will get the Sony Z3

I honestly don't like the look or functionality of the Note Edge, I personally feel it would be more bothersome than helpful. But that's just my opinion.

the edge looks really cool, i like how they have specific programming just for the edge

Very interesting concept, loving the curved glass but can have its downside as it's more easily breakable if dropped at its side :(

It didn't surprise me as they showed us this last year.

The Edge only has a 3000mAh battery, not the 3200 that the Note has. Also, the CPU is dependant on market. Some versions will get the 4+4 core Exynos. Would be worth adding the Gear S to the OP as well. Anyway, great thread, I'm just looking forward to see if I want to get the Moto 360, if not then the circular G Watch is what I'll get.

Oopsie, just fixed that. Thanks for the heads up. I'm also a fan of the 360's design, although I'm not sure if I'm ready to invest in a smart watch this year. I'll probably wait it out until the next generation.

Both Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge are not water-proof.
