Samsung Galaxy Note Edge Pre-order in UK: Retail Price Marginally Higher than Note 4

The retail price of the SIM-free and unlocked variant of Samsung Galaxy Note Edge has been revealed for users in the UK.

When compared to the unlocked and SIM-free Galaxy Note 4, the Galaxy Note Edge is about £75 costlier.

Online retailer Clove UK is now taking pre-order for the Note Edge featuring a unique curved screen which was launched alongside the Galaxy Note 4. The handset costs £650 including VAT.

The Galaxy Note 4 is already on pre-order in the country and is expected to hit the stores in the second week of October.

Other retailers such as Expansys and Handtec have confirmed pre-order but not disclosed the price deals of the handset. Also, the contract price has not been announced as yet.

Those who wish to place pre-order for the Galaxy Note Edge, may head over to the product page on Clove's site.

Earlier this month, Clove stated that the Galaxy Note Edge, a new technology-intensive device that will be released as a "limited edition concept", will not be available in the UK at its launch.

The retailer then promised to bring non-UK stock from the countries where the Note Edge is due to be launched.

The Galaxy Note Edge and the Galaxy Note 4 share most of the features and are equally powerful, according to AnTuTu benchmark tests.

The Note Edge sports a 5.6in Quad HD + Super AMOLED display. It has a 16 megapixel rear snapper and a 3.7 megapixel front-facing camera.

Samsung will use either the Snapdragon 805 or Exynos 5433 chipsets inside the Note Edge, depending on the market where it will go on sale.

Other notable features include a 3,000mAh battery and Android 4.4.4 software.
