During IFA 2014 in Berlin, Samsung showed, inter alia, models Note 4, Note Edge and Gear VR - a device which - as the manufacturer claims - allows for a total immersion in virtual reality.
Amazingly, at the press conference there was not a word spoken about Samsung Galaxy Alpha. There was a lot on Note 4 and Note Edge.
The latter will only be available only on selected markets. It has a curved, overlapping the right edge of the display. In this way it was possible to increase the resolution of 160 pixels to 1600x2560 pixels. This display is the greatest difference between the basic version and Edge. In addition, there are differnt batteries: 3000 mAh in Edge and 3220 mAh in Note 4.
We will see Note Edge on the shelves in the colours Charcoal Black and Frosted White.

Applications on this device open in full-screen mode on a split screen or in a floating window. You can freely change the arrangement and size of the windows with the stylus.
Note 4 has a camera which taes - as claimed by representatives of the manufacturer - brighter and sharper images. It has 16 megapixels and a premiere optical stabilization system (Smart Optical Image Stabilizer) that has managed to eliminate the impact of vibration on the quality of the image. Hence, you can safely extend the duration of exposure in tricky lighting conditions. At the front of Note 4 we find the camera with a bright (F1.9) optics, resolution of 3.7 megapixels and the ability to take pictures with the viewing angle up to 120 degrees.
