When it comes to gadget reporting, the word "futuristic" is overused. But Samsung's Galaxy Edge smartphone, which brandishes a thin, curved screen along the right side, definitely qualifies for the label.
The Galaxy Edge isn't like anything we've seen before. Sure, there
have been curved screens, but those are models where the whole screen is
curved, not just the edge. The Galaxy Edge is basically two screens in
one: a gorgeous main Quad HD display (2,560 x 1,440) that's identical to
the one on the Galaxy Note 4, and a thin strip populated with icons,
widgets or useful information.
You can also customize the wallpaper for the edge, selecting from any
photo (or a combination of photos) and a series of filters. Moving the
phone back and forth will move the image slightly. Trust me, the effect
is actually incredibly cool.
Most importantly, Samsung will release an API for the edge display,
so apps can use the screen in clever ways. Samsung is showing the way
with the camera UI — all the controls are on the edge strip, while the
main screen shows nothing but images.
If you're a lefty, you don't need to wait for Samsung to release a
left-handed version. Just flip the phone upside-down, and the entire
display will rotate 180 degrees. Of course, the home button will be on
top, but you can't have everything.
