Samsung's New Phone With A Curved Screen Is Going To Cost Nearly $1,000
The Edge is nearly the same phone as the Galaxy Note 4 that launched a few weeks ago, but it has a second screen on the side that functions independently from the main display. The "edge" screen is designed to show you information at a glance like weather, news, and incoming notifications without lighting up the main screen.
For comparison's sake, the Galaxy Note 4 costs about $749 without a contract, and about $300 with one, depending on the carrier. The iPhone 6 Plus, Apple's new phablet, also starts at $749 or about $300 with a contract.
But it sounds like that extra screen on the Note Edge adds quite a bit of cost to the phone. And it's unclear whether that's worth the extra $200 considering the Note 4 is already one of the best phones you can buy today and does most of the same stuff.
