My favorite phone by far was the note edge, i got much usage from the edge panel on that phone. My question is it possible to have that style panel on the s8? Im no developer by any means , but isn't it determined by the software and not so much by hardware? i say this because when flashing an AOSP style rom the edge panel was no longer there and the whole screen "bled....bleed?" onto the edge panel (similarly like the v10 top screen). Possible or no?

I was at Tmobile today and I was comparing the S6 edge and the S6. Both were on max brightness with adaptive color profile. The edge had more contrast richness than the non edge. How is this possible when they have the same specs? Are they different panels?
I doubt anything is different except the curve. I've had the same phone side by side a few times and they've never looked exactly the same.
I want to get the non edge because I like the feel better in my hand. However, it's bothers me that the edge screen color has more pop in it.
I believe there was actually an in-depth review put up that decided that the Edge's screen actually was mildly superior, though likely not noticeably so to most people.
Actually, I was at T Mobile again today to look at the phones. On second look, the non Edge had a better screen. It was sharper and didn't show some artifacts that I noticed on the edge. However, the edge still has more contrast. At this point I am considering the non edge because sharpness is important.
Specifically, I was focusing on the man's face. The photo doesn't show the significance of what I saw... But oh well here it is anyways
Hi guys,
Does anyone know exactly what Sammy updated? Is there a changelog somewhere? So far I wasn't able to see much of a difference...

Ahh so European T Mobile. I have the N915T (American T Mobile) and after seeing how much 5.0.1 butchered the edge screen, I've decided to stay with 4.4.4 for the rest of my phone's life.
In 5.1.1 has the camera button returned to the Edge screen and do notifications act like they do in 4.4.4? That is, have notifications stopped popping up on the screen instead of staying muted up top and only showing up on the Edge screen? I really hope Samsung decides to make a proper Note Edge 2. This phone with Note 5 enchancements and more settings and features for the Edge Screen would be orgasmic for the power user like me

I hope so too, but the chance of a note edge 2 emerging is close to 0...
In terms of edge screen usage it is the same as 5.0.1, the camera button is still on the main screen and some notifications pop up on the edge screen. so far the only few things I managed to discover were the addition of the smart manager (which is quite nice) and the overall performance.
For me the performance boost is really significant. My device was still running great (haven't done a reset since I bought it last Decemberm, even after the 5.0.1 update) but the 5.1.1 update made it even smoother and faster! Animations are more fluent and feel like they "fit".
EDIT:
Some note 5 features would be nice. I got the screen-off note function from an app in the "themes & apps" part of the edge forum, works brilliantly!
with 5.1.1 then have notifications showing up on the Edge screen also with lock screen as 4.4.4 , but change settings
settings->sound and notification->notification application -> app and set two and three

Please share your thoughts, I'm really thinking to downgrade my Note Edge from 5.1 to 4.4.
By the way, would I lost the phone warranty?
To me it is but only because I am an Edge purist. The stock ROM gave you the best the Edge had to offer. Everything that comes with the phone exclusively uses the Edge Screen including the Camera shutter button which was actually the deciding factor for me. Made taking pictures with one hand super easy.
Why I like Stock:
Camera button on Edge
All notifications on Edge Screen
Decent battery life
No bugs with lock screen apps and utilizing the Edge panel for music controls (Power Amp)
Why don't you like 5.1?
I basically want to know if I can make my note edge screen run like the s7 edge with the double lines for apps and stuff as well as getting the screen to optimize the actually size of the edge screen.l? That's to say, can the edge be hidden completely to make the note edge screen larger?
I saw many apps that provide customised Edge lighting like samsung.My upcoming phone has notch.Is there any app which provide edge lighting for phones with notch?
