Price of Note Edge

[buzzy3970]

So the note edge is pretty much rumored to be 399 on contract and 800 and 950 in the US off contract. I really like the idea of the edge but have the note 4 already. Do you feel the 100+ price tag is worth it?

Not at all. It's the same phone except more expensive because of a curved screen. Plus it's experimental. If it doesn't do well, they will drop support for it easily. I love Samsung phones, but even I admit that this is truly a gimmick.

I think it should be same price as N4, or maybe cheaper (yeah right I know). I just don't know how screen protectors/cases are going to work. If it was at the $299 price I would prob upgrade my N2 for it.

It is $945.99 off contract and $399 2 yrs contract on AT&T. Available on 14th.

Galaxy Note Edge release date set for November 17, $945 on AT&T

Exactly! You see how quick they dropped support for the first Galaxy Gear watch before they moved on to the 2nd.

Eh, it's pretty much the Note 4 but with a curved screen, which, in my opinion probably wouldn't be as comfortable as the Note 4 to hold.

It just doesn't warrant an additional $100 price tag. I mean the curved edge screen is cool... but not THAT cool.

sure it does. It's the singularly most unique phone in the world. it's not for the cheapskates! the higher price the better, it's gonna be a real eye catcher. and less of you guys own it the better for those of us owning it. It's all about exclusivity in an age of all exactly the same phones, now the iPhone going large.

If the higher the price the better that would make all of our Android devices inferior to iPhones in that case.

what????

who is talking android devices, or all of anything? Edge is a single most unique device. This is a singular case.

Also my tablet, the Note Pro 12.2 was the most expensive when I bought it, yes, even more expensive than Apple.

I know it is a unique device. So was the flop that was the Kyocera Echo a few years back, what Im tryjng to figure out is what does the higher price have to do with making the device any better?

I think the higher price comes from the manufacturing of the curved screen. They are only making one million to be sold worldwide, and I think they will sell what they make. Samsung is not forcing anyone to buy a phone, so if the price is too high for some, then they do not have to buy it.The Edge looks innovative and buyers will be asked about it whenever they pull it out to use it.

beautifully stated.

I can't add any more to this. except that the Note 4 is the best large smartphone on the market and although still pricey at 300 on contract vs 200 for S5 for example (when new) it's worth it.

for those of you who don't want to spend more, simply don't spend more! why come here and keep whining that the Edge is pricey, although each post pumps the forum activity by 100% (meaning it's certainly crickets here)

Yes, the Edge is pricier because:
1) It's not Kyocera, it's a top end Samsung.
2) It's based on the Note 4
3) Does everything Note 4 does but with an added 160 pixels cutting edge curved screen.
4) It's not for everyone and will not be made in the tens of millions like the Note 4.
5) It's the most unique phone of 2014 and possibly most of 2015, hence priced accordingly.
6) Yes it is better than Note 4 for some of us who appreciate the added screen that will allow desktop-like bar of apps always at your disposal.
7) And the added screen can merge with the main screen to provide a full 2560x1600 screen real state.

For me Edge is priceless. I've been waiting for it forever. IF you do not like it buy something you like.

I have the Note 4 already and absolutely love it. I'm not a big fan of the curved screen or the pricing, but it does look nice and those who are going to buy it will do so with the intent of taking advantage of the curved screen portion. I loom forward to reading people's reviews of it though to see what people think of the end product.
