"Running on the latest OS, the Galaxy BLADE edge comes with all the incredible features of the Galaxy S6, but its edge is so sharp and strong that the device can also serve as a chef’s knife," the company said in a press release.

"A product that is so brilliant you can ask it anything, but is so cute you'll want to hug it," according to Chris Yerga, the company's vice president of engineering.
Sticking with selfies, Japanese automobile giant Honda unveiled the new HR-V Selfie Edition, with 10 separate cameras for taking photos of yourself while driving.
"Everyone's talking about how cool the self-driving car will be, but what about the selfie car?" the company said in an advert.
