2017 April Update - They Will Have To Pry My Note Edge From My Cold Dead Fingers
Edited: Apr 14, 2017, 2:00 PMPhone owned for more than a year
I bought my Note Edge a couple years ago, and the reason I'm doing this 2017 review is because although I could buy an S8 or other flagship phone, I won't because I'm a very happy camper with my Note Edge.
I won't repeat what others have already said, but mainly what I like about it: the camera quality (takes excellent pics and video), the removable battery (this is VERY important for me. I am used to having a removable battery, so much so I can't ever give it up), the microSD slot (also very impt. for me), the gorgeous display, and the phone's speed (it is a quite fast phone).
I actually don't use the Note Edge stylus all that often, I bought the Edge for use of the second screen, so to speak, that is mostly a notification bar. It works very well for that purpose. Regardless of which app I am in, when I get a phone call, e-mail, or text message, it scrolls in the notification "edge" of the phone. Also a nice touch, the edge display/bar does not take up any of my main display area. Data appears on the curved part of the display.
My Note Edge became all the more valuable on the market (but I won't sell it) when Samsung suffered the Note 7 battery debacle. I was grinning ear to ear as I was thinking that I am the proud owner of a Note Edge, with the ability to replace a battery if it is causing me problems. In 2017 that seems a now-important feature on a "flammable cell phone."
If you are considering getting a Note Edge I highly recommend it. Most new phones on the market are adding gimmicks and features that don't make the phones much different than my Note Edge. But the biggest plus about all this, the Note Edge can be had on the used market (eBay) for about $250 to $300. That's a great deal considering all you get for that price.
