Despite a thinner 7.2mm body, the Note Edge packs a 6,500mAh battery. If battery backup is your top priority, the Note Edge is the stronger choice for day-long heavy usage.

Note Edge launches with Android 16 (XOS 16), giving it a longer practical software runway. It also ships with newer AI-integrated features in the latest XOS experience.
