Nokia Gem in Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Edge

Nokia Gem in Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Edge

Advertisements Along side the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 was the Note 4 edge. The right side of the screen curves off to the side to give contextual controls. I’ve always wanted to see something like this. A long time ago I was hoping it would be a screen that’s touch sensitive on the side of […]
