Telco Vodafone has announced it will carry the Note Edge with pricing starting from $14 on a $70 plan per month.
Samsung’s Galaxy Note range will fend off competition from Apple’s first phablet, the iPhone 6 Plus, which has a 5.5in Full HD screen. The Note range comes with screens from 5.6in that have a 1440p resolution.
Outright pricing for the Galaxy Note 4 is $949, while the Edge will have a retail price of $1249.
