Samsung Galaxy Note Edge coming to India in January

BANGALORE, INDIA: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the launch of new Galaxy Note Edge in India. The phone will be available for sale from January first week at a price of INR 64,900.

Galaxy Note Edge comes with a 5.6 inch Quad HD+ Super AMOLED display that delivers an unparalleled viewing experience reproducing crystal clear images with precise colour saturation and high contrast ratio. The Edge screen provides quick access to frequently used applications, alerts and device functions–even when the cover is closed–all with the swipe of a thumb.

The curved display is secured inside metal brackets, making it as durable as the flat screen. The left side is curved slightly as well, giving the smartphone an aesthetic balance and design harmony.

Asim Warsi, VP, Mobile & IT, Samsung India, said, “The Galaxy Note Edge’s curved design will make the screen more meaningful to users in their everyday lives.”

The 3.7 megapixel front-facing camera with a F1.9 lens allows default 90 degree shooting while the Wide Selfie mode allows users to capture selfies covering angles up to 120 degrees. The 16 megapixel rear camera with Smart OIS lets users click shake free photos even in dark surroundings. Camera control buttons are positioned on the Edge screen, so that users can capture and record their special moments while looking through a clean screen.

The Galaxy Note Edge’s S Pen has been specifically evolved to provide a more user-friendly Air Command functionality with intuitive features such as Action Memo, Smart Select, Image Clip and Screen Write that allow users to create and collect content with ease. A new Smart Select feature enables users to easily piece together content from different origins, and share or collect it with ease.

In addition to typing and writing, the innovative Photo Note feature allows users to take a picture and convert the image into editable format within the S-Note. They can also further unleash their creativity by jotting down their thoughts quickly with the Voice Memo.

The Adaptive Fast Charging feature in the Galaxy Note Edge charges the battery from 0% to 50% which is 30% faster than conventional charging. The Ultra Power Saving Mode complements the fast charging by ensuring that users don’t run out of power when they need it most.

The Galaxy Note Edge will be available in "Charcoal Black," and "Frost White" in India.
