With the release of the Galaxy S6 Edge , Samsung is hoping that it will be able to attract more customers to its curved screen devices. However, there is another phablet, the Galaxy Note Edge that comes with similar features, which could end up being a major competitor. Here is how these two curved screen devices compare.

There are curved edges on both of these devices, however, it is important to take note that they are different. The S6 Edge comes with curves over the right and left sides of the screen and users can customize one of them. They can add five favorite apps to the Apps Edge, and then use the People Edge to quickly access five favorite contacts. Additionally, users will be able to view notifications, alerts, a night clock and lighting assigned to each contact on the edge. As for its build, it has a metal frame with Gorilla Glass 4 on its front and back, a finger print scanner and it comes in black, white, gold and silver.

The Note Edge, on the other hand, has a curved screen that flows over its right edge but it can also be customized to display favorite apps, a night clock, messages, alerts and tools such as a ruler and voice recorder. As for its build, it has a metal frame, plastic on its body and fake leather on its back panel along with a fingerprint scanner.
