With the Note Edge, you’re also getting a well-designed stylus that has a great grip, feels stronger than most styluses, and comes with extra features (like image clipping). It’s also handy that the stylus slides right into the bottom of your phone (as it should).

The only problem is that the Note Edge's price isn't the same as – or even within a stone's throw of – the Note 4's. Nope, this is one of the most expensive phones we've handled, ringing up for $400-430 on-contract or $840-945 full retail (it varies by carrier).
