| Updated: Thursday, September 11, 2014, 19:55 [IST]

Samsung is sort of a household name in this part of the planet. The company has been in the smartphone game for quite some time, and more than enough to establish itself as one of the primiary names. And more glory is on the cards with Samsung officially launching the new Galaxy Note Edge handset.

While these are just early days, the new Note Edge has already been touted as Samsung's most promising smartphone we've ever seen. The handset was shown off at this year's recently concluded IFA Berlin show.

Going through the hardware config once more, the new Note Edge sports a 5.6-inch Super AMOLED display having a resolution of 2560 x 1440-pixels. The handset is stuffed with a 2.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor, coupled with 3GB of RAM, 32GB/64GB of native storage and a microSD card slot.

The high-end phone also comes with a 3000mAh battery fitted inside. The Galaxy Note Edge runs on Android 4.4 (KitKat) with TouchWiz UI. Other connectivity features are similar to the Note 4.

The Galaxy Note Edge has a slightly smaller screen at 5.6-inches, compared to Note 4's 5.7-inch display. The 5.6-inch screen makes room for a new edge. The main purpose for having such a screen is make information more accessible whenever you want.

Basically, the Note Edge's display acts as an extended ticker. The ticker bar also acts as an app tray for an easy access to applications.

But what are its biggest competitions in the market since this isn't the only handset with such specs (barring the curve display thingy)? We take a look at the top 10.
