Reddit is one of those communities people seem to either love or hate. That’s because Reddit, like the early United States, is a loose collection of dozens of different communities with different goals, interests, and moral codes. From the root-happy folks at r/Android to the celebrity-obsessed fans at r/IamA, Reddit has plenty of different things going on. And now, you can add “Android app” to that list of things. Introducing the AMA app Reddit has never had an official…

At Berlin’s IFA 2014 event, Samsung revealed a smartphone everybody expected them to reveal: the Galaxy Note 4. Unbeknownst to most members of the media, however, was the fact that the Galaxy Note brought along a friend called the Galaxy Note Edge.
