Samsung has published a new blog post to explain why the Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge
look the way they do. In case you have wondered why the company made
the design choices it did or what exactly is new in these latest
handsets compared to previous generation hardware, Samsung has shed
light on some of these improvements.
It was a matter of the overall design concept of the Galaxy Note 4.
If its predecessor was about being 'classic', the Galaxy Note 4 is more
about being 'modern sleek' with an emphasis on the urban vibe. With the
implementation of metal frame with diamond cuts, the designers wanted
to take a more simple approach which aligns with the 'modern sleek'
design concept. Therefore, the Galaxy Note 4 has fewer decorative design
factors, and the stitch on the back was one of them.
The soft back was a serious design consideration (opposed to metal),
enabling owners to swap out the battery of their Galaxy Note 4 and Note
Edge. Samsung notes that the leather used also provides a smoother feel
to the handsets. Still, some consumers remain on the fence when it comes
to the stitch back.
So why was the Edge screen on the right side, and not the left?
The main focus of the designers was to provide the analog feeling.
When flipping through the pages of a book or note, many people flip it
right to left, right being the initial contact point. [...] Since people
generally tend to read from the left to right, the designers thought it
would be the right decision to place the Edge Screen on the right side.
It's an interesting read and there's more to digest, including information on the curvature rate, revolving UX, the S Pen, and Montblanc collaboration. Be sure to check out the full blog post for more details.
