Good news to Samsung fans waiting for the arrival of the Galaxy Note Edge in the U.S. The device will allegedly head to AT&T in the near future.
Samsung Galaxy Note Edge was reportedly spotted at the FCC by folks from GforGames. A smartphone with model number SM-N915A revealed that it offers support for AT&T and US Cellular's LTE bands, specifically bands 2 and 4 for the former carrier, and bands 5 and 12 for the latter. This hints that the device will be available under both carriers.
Meanwhile, some reports claim that Samsung is planning to roll out the Galaxy Note Edge in Korea later this month. This coincides with the plans of Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo. There have also been published reports that the device will be available in Japan on Oct. 23 and will roll out in its key markets, including U.S. and China. Delay may be experienced in non-priority markets like the U.K. and Canada, with whispers saying the device will arrive in early 2015.
Some reports also state that the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge will be a limited edition handset. Thus, it means that it may be available in limited quantities within a certain period of time. The availability of the device differs for each region, and may follow the release path of the Samsung Galaxy Round.
Another reason for the possible delay is the manufacturing of the curved screen display of the handset, which takes more time to produce. The Galaxy Note Edge is reported to be more expensive than its brother, the Galaxy Note 4. However, Samsung and the carriers have not revealed official pricing of the device yet.
The Samsung Galaxy Note Edge packs the following features:
- 5.6-inch Super AMOLED display with 1600 x 2560 resolution
- 2.7 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 SoC
- Adreno 420 graphics chip
- 3 GB of RAM
- 16 MP back camera with optical image stabilization
- Android 4.4 KitKat with Samsung's TouchWiz
