Petitions don’t seem to normally work, but it appears this one has, and has made Samsung reconsidering bringing the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge to Germany. Okay, so it wasn’t exactly a petition since it was started by Samsung themselves, but thanks to over 120,210 voters (which actually totals 145,531 votes now), Samsung has decided it is going to bring the Note Edge to Germany after only confirming availability in the US, Japan and South Korea. What’s more, Samsung says it is going to offer the “premium” version of the device starting in late November, ending on December 31st with the standard version going on sale in early 2015 – we’re not sure what the premium version entails, but we know it will be available in Charcoal Black and Frost White colour variants.
It’s actually a pretty unusual ploy to see whether a target market wants to get a certain device, but it appears to have paid off for Samsung, assuming these 145,531 votes translate in some way to sales for the Note Edge. Of course, the Note Edge’s defining feature is its curved screen, which doesn’t quite achieve the novelty of last year’s Samsung Galaxy Round, but instead adds a surprisingly functional side bar down the length of the device. Throw in the same specs as the Galaxy Note 4, and you have a pretty impressive (albeit expensive) device.
