Samsung Galaxy Note Edge Review

The Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is fantastic in the hand. The added screen dimension makes it look and feel a lot more premium than its Note 4 bedfellow. It's definitely a handset that has wow factor, even if the added screen lip may be slightly lacking in uses at the moment.

Samsung has tried its best to make this section of the phone useable, by creating a host of OS strips that you can add to the lip of the screen. These include things like weather, Twitter, and news updates.

One great move Samsung has done is make the lip of the display work independent of the main screen.

So if the main screen is completely off, one swipe of the lip and you can see your notifications and updates. This would be a great thing in a meeting where you don't want to use your full device but want access to small updates,

Innovative display

The new screen design in my hands on simply meant that it was easier for me to access applications. Samsung also informed me that the panel will evolve, once more software partners are on board.

Another test I did to try out the innovative screen was watch a clip of a movie. As all of the controls went to the lip of the screen, the main part was completely free - the movie went completely to the edge and looked great.

The new screen is a great addition to the Note range. By this I mean that everything else bar the screen is identical to the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in specs.

The screen does mean you get a 16:10 aspect ratio and Samsung did explain that the battery was a tad smaller (at 3,000) but everything else that is on the Note 4 is present and correct with the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge.

Features

While you can read a little more in-depth about the new features in our hands on Samsung Galaxy S4 review, here's a number of things that I thought were standout.

The chassis now has a heartrate monitor, that was originally found on the Samsung Galaxy S5. This also acts as a trigger button for the camera when you want to do selfies.

S Pen

The S Pen has also vastly improved with two extra pen styles: fountain and highlighter. You can do so much more with the S Pen too. One of the most interesting aspects is that you can now use it mouse like to take grabs from websites and set up your own clippings service.

You can also use the pen to shrink applications as you would a widget. This gives you better access to the homescreen and means you don't have to wade through a number of tabs.

Multi-tasking on the Note Edge has also been improved - with a multi window of tabs much easier to access.

Early verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Note edge is stunning-looking device that really tries to do something different. I worry that Samsung will keep the Edge strictly limited edition. I hope not because this is a handset that is great to use and looks fantastic. It really does give the Note line-up the edge over its rivals.

Useful And Productive Keyboard Shortcuts Keys in Windows

In Windows there are many ways to speedup commands which are generally being used, almost daily. Like deleting files, zooming in, switching between windows etc.

  

Today we have collected some of the most useful and productive keyboard shortcuts, which can save time

windows Logo + L

Walking away from the screen for a while? Keep prying eyes out of your stuff with this quick shortcut that locks the PC instantly.

   Shift + Delete

The lazy way to delete stuff in Windows is to drag it to the Recycle Bin. An even lazier way is to highlight the file and press Delete. And if you’re ultra-lazy (and smarter than the average user), you can bypass the Recycle Bin entirely by pressing Shift + Delete. The downside is that you won’t get the opportunity to easily restore the file from the Recycle Bin if you later decide you want it back, but you also won’t have to bother emptying the Recycle Bin if you use this method to ditch unwanted files.

Shift + CTRL + N

Windows 7 made it a little easier to create new folders in Windows Explorer. Now you can just hit Shift + Ctrl + N in any folder to create a new untitled folder right where you are. The new folder will appear with the name ‘New folder’ already highlighted so you can type in your own name for it and hit Enter to move on to the next task.

                                             

Windows + M

Got a bazillion windows cluttering your screen? Press Windows + M to instantly minimize all current windows to the Taskbar. It’s a great way to restore your sanity, and an even better way to hide what you’re working on from unexpected interlopers. When you want all the windows back again, press Windows + Shift + M and every currently running window will pop open again.

     Windows + 1, 2, 3, etc.

Windows 7 introduced a new feature that lets you pin apps to your Taskbar for quick access. An even quicker way to access those apps is with this slick keyboard shortcut. Press Windows + 1 to launch the first pinned app in your Taskbar (from left to right). Windows + 2 launches the second one, Windows + 3 launches the third one, and so on.

Windows + (+/-)

Want a closer look at whatever’s on your screen? Hit Windows and + to zoom in for a magnified view. While you’re magnified, moving the mouse around the screen will move you to the far corners and bring them into view. Windows and – zooms you back out again.

ABOUT Windows 10

       windows 8 had a version of the start menu that was booed down very well by the users for it was too inconvenient in appearance. So the very first thing that we are very excited to clear is the much awaited start menu condition. Yes dear irritated people, the lovable start menu is back! Also Microsoft has merged the classic menu along with the one that we hated on Windows 8 to make a completely new way to access your content using ‘live tiles’. A search bar has also been provided which also does an internet search at the same time.

The entire start menu is customizable where apps can be added and removed according to convenience. Not only that, they can be rearranged and they now have a typical open window like interface allowing you to resize and minimize them instead of them entering a full screen mode.

The search bar has been included in the start menu and also the task bar giving you access to you content from almost anywhere. Windows 10 is being designed to run across all platforms ranging from mobile phones to tablets to PCs and laptops. Today, not much is known about it but then it does pose a big technical challenge for Microsoft to deal with along with giving us insights into their long term plans.

The Continuum

After the prolonged and irritating complaints they received from users, Microsoft has decided to tackle the nature of touch that oscillated between the keyboard, mouse and touch elements. It has been given the name ‘The Continuum’ which simply merges any two input method combinations. Continuum is able to detect the intention of the user depending on the interface nature and will automatically be able to switch between modes to create the perfect response.

Joe Belfiore, Vice President, Windows agrees that the continuum will be the UI feature that will bridge the gap between interfaces that will unite all the platforms from tablets to phones. But a lot of work is still yet to be completed on this to perfect it.

Virtual Desktops for work and for home

Another feature that windows will be very proud of is not entirely unheard of considering a version of it exists on MAC OS X, is the virtual desktop feature. No official name exists for it as of now but it does offer amazing insights into a lovely picture of Windows 10.

A task view button triggers the launch of a screen that enables the user to create and jump between already existing virtual desktops. This completely customizable feature allows users to remove the clutter from the main desktop. Also, because it is customizable in nature, the user can create an environment that is different for work and for home.

While one shifts between desktops, all processes will continue to run in the background giving us one new pro and con. The pro being that Windows, initially famous for its multitasking gains back its advantageous edge in the market again. The latter being that Windows will have to make sure to incorporate a decent memory usage procedure in order to run so many multiple processes smoothly.

Availability

As of now, no news has been released from Windows about the pricing and its release date. But a copy of the incomplete version will be released within the next couple of weeks. This version will be purely designed for developers alone for them to provide valuable feedback to Windows.

It is estimated that the complete version will be available sometime in ‘2015’ but whether it will be free for upgraders or not, we are not sure about that.

In a conference that was held by Microsoft, no news talking about the price, availability and also about minimum system requirements were mentioned. This leaves people guessing that hopefully these are things one need not worry much about but on the other hand one can expect Microsoft to keep the best information to themselves just as a curiosity and a surprising element.

Upgraded versions of Windows are known for their eradication of the cons of previous versions whereas they merge the sweet parts into one another to form the next version of Windows. This being the biggest market strategy of Microsoft has helped it gain a lot of name because the newer versions of Windows have only become better with time. We hope that Windows 10 is capable of living up to the name that its creating for itself.
