Samsung Galaxy Note 4 vs. Galaxy Note Edge Specs Comparison: Does the Curved Screen Make a Difference?
Samsung has recently released their experimental limited edition handset, the Galaxy Note Edge, which features a curved display which displays a variety of information, from sports scores to stock information. While only limited in certain quantities and in some countries, it stands as a competitor against its own Galaxy Note 4 phablet.
First, the Note 4. The phablet has a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED screen with a QHD display resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. Inside the phablet is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chipset with a quad-core 2.7GHz processor and an Adreno 420 GPU.
The Note 4 is only available in a 32GB internal storage variant with a 3GB RAM and microSD card support of up to 128GB. At the back of the phablet is a 16-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization and autofocus, while a 3.7-megapixel snapper occupies the front.

The Galaxy Note Edge on the other hand has a 5.6-inch screen (also Super AMOLED like most Samsung devices) with a display resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. The main difference between the Note 4 and the Edge is the Edge's curved screen, accounting for the extra resolution.
The Edge has the same hardware as the Note 4 but has two storage variants instead of one – the 32GB and 64GB variants – both still with 3GB of RAM and microSD card support of up to 128GB. The camera is also the same with 16-megapixel at the back and 3.7-megapixels at the front.
Basically, the Edge is a Note 4 with a curved screen. The curved screen may not be particularly useful for a majority of consumers but it may be enticing for business-oriented people who would want to see information on their phones at a glance, even while covered by a protector.
