The curved edge screen is probably one of the key factors for making you decide to buy this phone. It not only looks good, it has its uses too. You can have plenty of useful shortcuts pop out from the edge of the curved screen. These include but not limited to, phonebook contacts, app shortcuts, the Smart Select panel, weather, quick tools, a calendar, a Clipboard showing all your recently copied texts and images.

By default, only a few are turned on. Also, and the handle that you have to swipe in order to open up the edge panels might not be in the most comfortable place for your fingers. Go to Settings -> Display -> Edge Screen and touch the Edge Panels to change it.
