The Dual Edge edges may become the main feature … – HDblog (Blog)

Galaxy Note 7 is not only the most anticipated Android smartphone of the moment, but it is also a possible precedent that could indicate the direction that Samsung plans to take with its next top range.

the Galaxy Note 7, in fact, is the first device made by the South Korean house to use a Dual Edge display without that this feature is in any way indicated by the suffix Edge, used until now to distinguish this from those variants “

Flat.” In fact, as we have seen, there is just a variant with a traditional display, which is why Samsung has decided to use the classic name of its range of phablet, without feel the need of having to specify the other, since there are no other devices from which differentiate. This happened thanks to what we call “ one “, or the presence of edge edges more and less prominent and intrusive , with minimal surfaces that favor the coup d ‘ eye, offering a visual experience almost borderless, but did not pose a real plus to the experience of use, as it happened with the first Galaxy Note Edge.

over the generations Samsung steadily reduced the incisiveness of the curved edges in favor of a better user experience and Notes 7 could be the exact balance that led the company to tipping point . In fact, in the words of D.J. Koh, head of Samsung Mobile, Dual Edge curved edges may enter definitively into the DNA of the Galaxy S range and the next Galaxy S8 might be the first top of the range annual to be presented exclusively in this variant, of course without using the word Edge in the name.

over the last few years, starting with Galaxy S6 on, the Edge variants captured the attention of consumers and have quickly become favorite from market, even at the cost of having to deal with an experience of use that still needs to be refined and improved (we speak of the right accidental touches!), but this was not enough to give up a huge chunk of buyers from the Edge prefer a variant to a more traditional flat.

With Galaxy S8 this process could reach maturity , with the introduction of increasingly targeted software solutions to the use of the hardware feature represented by Dual Edge edges, so as to offer an experience of more fresh and varied use than that proposed by the competition.
