Our insiders at Samsung have told us that they have received stocks of Samsung Galaxy Note Edge and it will go on sale in India with a retail price tag of INR 63,500/- which makes it a full INR 1000 more expensive than the iPhone 6 Plus. We expected it to be around 5000 rupees more expensive than the Note 4 which is currently on sale for 58,500 rupees.
Our insider told us that top models of Samsung are imported from outside and it takes few months before the company can start assembling the phones here. So during the first few months you get CBU (completely build units) imported from outside and after 3-4 months, the same models is assembled in India which in turns reduces the overall price tag drastically.
Samsung Galaxy Note Edge features a 5.6 inch display packing whopping 1600 x 2560 pixel resolution, 32 / 64 GB flash storage, 3GB of RAM and 16MP camera. All of this is powered by its removable 3000 mAh battery.

If you have recently unlocked bootloader on the Moto X 2014 you will be receiving a warning message on your phone. An XDA user has released a custom boot image that removes this warning message.
To flash it you will need ADB installed on your computer and download this logo file. Unzip it and put it in the folder of ADB. After you have installed it fire up command prompt, enter this command.
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
Within few seconds the logo.bin file will replace the warning message. That is it – you have successfully removed the warning message from your newly bought Moto X 2014. Some people can really annoyed by the warning message they see every time they boot their device.
Flashing this file is safe and harmless. If the flash is unsuccessful your Moto X 2014 would not get bricked.
The developer behind the Motorola boot logo maker has released an updated version for the Moto X and G 2014 2nd generation models. Here are its features.
* Open Existing Logo.bin files
* Open Existing Flashable zip files
* Create logo.bin files
* Create Flashable zip files
* Export images from Logo.bin / Flash able zips.
The application has user friendly user interface and one can easily create boot logos for it. To use it just double click on the tree view entries. Then select the picture and repeat that process for all of the files that would be in logo.bin
You then go to File / Save, and then save either as a .bin file, for flashing using fastboot, or as a Flashable zip file, for flashing using TWRP or CWM. In general, boot_logo is used on a factory locked device, and as a result, you probably should clear that one, as you would be wasting your space.
The logo_battery is your 0-3% indicator when the battery is run dry, and you plug it in to charge. logo_unlock is the actual boot screen logo you see on unlocked devices.
It shall be known that any file more than 4MB logo.bin files will not be created. This is due to device limitation.
