Samsung unveils Galaxy Note 4, Note Edge and Gear VR
Steve Shen, DIGITIMES, Taipei [Friday 5 September 2014]
Samsung Electronics has announced the expansion of its flagship Galaxy Note-series with the new Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge. At IFA 2014, Samsung also unveiled a virtual-reality headset, the Gear VR.
The Galaxy Note 4 comes with a 5.7-inch Quad HD (2560 by 1440) Super AMOLED display and 2.7 Hz quad-core or 1.9 GHz 8-core CPU differing by countries or carriers.
The device is equipped with a 16-megapixel rear-facing camera featuring a smart optical image stabilizer (OIS) that counter-balances camera shake and automatically extends exposure time in dark settings. In addition, a 3.7-megapixel front-facing camera with f1.9 offers a default 90-degree shooting angle and up to 120-degree wide angle.
The Galaxy Note 4 also features a premium metal frame with fluid curvature that seamlessly blends with the device display. The Galaxy Note 4's 2.5D glass screen, inherited from the Galaxy S3, offers extra protection while perfectly complementing the device's rich viewing experience, Samsung said.
The Galaxy Note Edge provides users with a new way to access information, engage with their mobile device, and express their personality and tastes, the vendor claimed. The Galaxy Note Edge comes with a side display for quick access to frequently used apps, alerts and device functionality.
The Galaxy Note 4 will be available in global markets starting in October and the Galaxy Note Edge will be available in select markets through Samsung's retail channels, e-commerce and carriers later this year.
The Samsung Gear VR, powered by Oculus Technology, delivers a completely new way to experience and consume mobile content. Built with soft, flexible cushioning and lightweight materials, the Samsung Gear VR is comfortable to wear. It is completely wireless, so users can be fully engaged in virtual worlds without being tethered to a computer.
With a robust selection of optimized virtual reality content from a wide range of top-tier creators, users will be able to enjoy a wide range of film, gaming, 360-degree video, and educational/experiential content, Samsung said.
The Samsung Gear VR will be available through Samsung's online channel and selected carriers in 2014.
