Galaxy Note Edge, $840

best gadgets samsung galaxy note edge

The Samsung Galaxy Note Edge has a small portion of curved glass that bends around the right side of the phone. That tiny curve on the Edge's display functions as a second screen, which can display a list of apps, quick settings, notifications, weather and the time. It's more gimmicky than helpful, but it's unique -- and at least Samsung is trying to break gadgets out of their boring molds.
