Think the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge was cool? Well, you won't have to wait too long to get your hands on the device as Samsung just announced that the smartphone will launch in the U.S. On Nov. 14.
The South Korean company has confirmed that all major carriers in the country including AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, and U.S. Cellular will be making the device available in Charcoal Black and Frost White.
Aside from cellular service providers, consumers can purchase the devices in Samsung Experience shops in Best Buy. However, as of now, pricing, availability and specs have yet to be confirmed by all carriers and retail providers.
For Samsung fans looking to get the device off AT&T, the carrier, via The Verge, has confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge will be up for pre-order beginning Nov. 7. It will carry a price tag of $399 with a two-year contract and without, it'll cost $945.99.
T-Mobile, on the other hand, has revealed that the device will be available on Nov. 14 with a zero down, $36.25 monthly installment over 24 months. The device will cost you about $870 all-in. There is no indication of the color options provided by T-Mobile.
If you're into Sprint, the carrier didn't indicate color options. The company will be offering a two-year Easy Pay plan, inclusive of tax, will come out to about $870, reported Venture Beat.
The Edge device is one of Samsung's more forward-thinking phones as it carries similar specs to the luxurious Galaxy Note 4 but has the added feature of a always-on curved screen section on its right side. The wrap around feature offers quick access to notifications, email alerts, internet, music apps and much more without interrupting the productivity and functions of the mains screen.
