Samsung Galaxy Note 4 vs Galaxy Note Edge Comparison, Updates: the two new Galaxy smartphones are almost identical, but the biggest difference appears in the design category !!

Samsung's premium phablet the Galaxy Note 4 was unveiled at the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin. The company also announced a new version of the Note, the Note Edge. According to a Samsung official, the Galaxy Note Edge will be treated by the company as a limited edition concept. This is a nice way of saying that it will forever be a niche device.

In a Note 4 vs Note Edge comparison, specs and features of the two new Galaxy smartphones are almost identical, but it is in the design category that the biggest differences appear.

Note Edge sports a 5.6-inch Quad HD with 2560 x 1440 resolution, 2.7 GHz Quad-core processor, 3 GB RAM, 32 GB internal memory. 3.7 MP front-facing camera, 16 MP rear-facing camera and runs on Android KitKat 4.4. The slightly bigger Note 4 has a 5.7-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED 2560 x 1440 display, 3 GB RAM, 32 GB internal memory, 7 MP front-facing camera, 16 MP rear-facing camera.

When it comes to design, Note Edge takes the "revolutionary" trail with its borderless aesthetics that offers expanded space. On the other hand, Note 4 concentrates on style and comfort, with superior grip soft-textured back cover.

Like the Note 3, the Note 4 also comes in two processor versions, one with a 2.7 GHz quad-core one and another with an 1.9 GHz Octa-core processor. The quad-core one is with Snapdragon 805 chipset, which brings LTE Cat 6 support and the Octa-core processor has Samsung's Exynos 5433 chipset and LTE Cat 4 connectivity. The Galaxy Note Edge is only coming in one version with a 2.7 GHz quad-core processor. The Note 4 will come only in a 32 GB version, while the Note Edge will have a 32 and 64 GB version. Both smartphones will support microSD up to 64 GB. It is strange that Samsung hasn't launched a 64 GB version of the Note 4. The OS is Android 4.4 (KitKat) along with Samsung's TouchWiz UI as well.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is scheduled to hit store shelves on 17^th October, with pre-orders on-going.
