Now I am quite glad the sidebar through the Note Edge has been hidden from view on this occasion round, as I found it awkward make use of and felt it didn’t really add much on the phone’s overall energy. That doesn’t necessarily mean Samsung’s abandoned it is Edge Screen attributes, though, as they’re today activated by simple touch gestures so one of these don’t get in terms during day-to-day work with.
Instead of the sidebar, for instance, the S6 Edge now carries a small translucent tab presents itself the screen that you can slide out to access your five favorite contacts. From the following, you can call them, send an TXT message or send an email. It’s a useful feature, and one that will works incredibly well once you have both hands free. Trying to trigger it single-handedly, however, is a somewhat more fiddly, as the curve’s superficial angle means you’re more likely to swipe to your next home screen or accidentally open the next thunderstorm widget than wide open the tab. However, with a little practice it became much easier to open with a single swipe, and it’s certainly much faster than having for you to dive into my contacts or e mail app every time I have to call someone.
