Yeah, without much fanfare at all really.
The Note Edge? Yah, it's out. One of my bosses has one.

I...kinda...need a new smarphone after a friend killed the glass cover-thing of my S3 .
Hmmm.... those rumored specs look impressive on paper....but I'm not sure if I want a Samsung again.

Can't really see how the edge stuff would actually be practical in a real world scenario. Also, crazy how these phones' screens keep getting bigger with every iteration. 5.1 inches is almost as big as my Note 2's screen which is humongous.
My next phone will be the smallest one with top specs. Tired of having a giant phone weighing down my pants. So probably the Z4 compact (provided Sony still keeps making phones).

Sick of all these $7-800 phones.
Will pickup a ZenFone 2 in March for a quarter of the price with 90% of the same features.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
No removable battery seems like a major backwards step -_-
Guess I'll be sticking with my old ass Galaxy S3 for a bit longer. (I have no reason to upgrade.)

I have a Note Edge, and the side screen has been pretty useful if only for a few basic things (I've only had the phone for a month or so, so I'm not fully settled into it).
For instance, I can use the side screen to control my music player without having to change whatever other ap I'm actively running. I also get all my notifications there, so I can check weather, look at incoming messages, things like that.
I admit it's fairly basic, but it's also in its relative infancy at the moment. It's only been out a few months total, so most aps don't really utilize it yet.

What a joke battery is actually smaller than S5 and non-removable on top of tha too. Phone companies really need to drop this obsession with thinness.

Shot my wad early and committed to a 24 month contract for the s5 just before Christmas. Will be gutted in March but at least I'm paying less than £30 per month for unlimited everything.

No idea. They keep pushing the Note 4, but I think the edge was supposed to be a limited concept phone. That they're releasing a Galaxy Edge I think speaks to that. I mean, it didn't help that Verizon held off on releasing the Edge for like 5 or 6 months after its competitors did.

Will this be the best phone on the market when it releases? Im due for a new phone.

The non-removable battery isn't a big deal to me, my HTC One M8 has a non-removable battery and I'm fine with it.
The bigger issue is space. Hopefully 32GB is the standard, with microSD support. That's what the One M8 has and I love it. it's the perfect phone except for the camera being shit.

Double curved edges? Does that mean it's going to be u shaped?

HTC appears to finally be listening and putting a 20 pixel shooter on the back. Bose sound, SD card support, full metal construction as always.

High resolution improves sales.

This was a concern, but battery tech is improving. My 1440p Note 4 has a ridiculous battery.
HTC's new phone is looking to be great. Hold off to see what they bring to the table.

The new HTC One is also rumored to have this resolution.
1080P is more than enough for me.

My boss has the Edge. Interesting phone for sure.

I'm mostly looking forward to the Note 5.
LG G4 is rumoured to have a 2880x1620 display

Haha S6 edge, oh god help us. That and non-removable battery looks like a trainwreck waiting to happen. Can't get on this train with those kind of rumours.

Hi, I'm nortonff. I spend my life going into threads to say that I don't care about the topic of the thread. It's a really good use of my time.
I try to understand the need of this screen resolutions on a phone. But I can't.
Should focus on 3.k battery, full metal body and lightweight touchwiz.

I wonder how many many minutes of battery life it'll have? 30? 60 on standby? Sounds like the phone's not going to last that long without having to charge it constantly. I have an S5 and it barely lasts a day on normal use. I can't imagine a higher resolution screen and a faster CPU will last any longer. You'd think swappable batteries would be even more important than ever here.
Looks like an iphone.
