Samsung Details New Galaxy Note 4, Note Edge, Gear S Watch and Gear VR Headset

Apple really has to step it up or they will fail to compete with Samsung and all their real innovations.
The iPhone 6 is cool but it's just a thinner, bigger iPhone 5s with too much room on the top and bottom, making it bigger than it has to be.

Remember Samsung's innovative feature which pauses a video when you lock away? Neither does the rest of the world.

However, if Apple debuts a NFC powered mobile payment system with the iPhone 6, it will likely catch on and we'll see very phone launched in 2015 have a similar feature.

Most non-iPhones have NFC already.

And here is the reason why you don't just blindly follow Apple. If you have no idea that NFC has been around now in most Android devices for .. well at LEAST a year, you are as blind as they come.

No, Samsung doesn't want to get sued by Apple.

Nothing like giving us a feature no one asked for.

I like iPhones they are solidly built and iOS's simplicity is underrated. But Apple needs to step up its game or its going to fall behind.

The Gear VR was very unexpected. With that super crazy 2560 x 1440 Amoled display in the Note 4 movies will be iMax quality every where you go when using the VR. This could also take gaming to a new level.
Apple better impress next week. Not sure if they can top the Note 4 and Gear VR combo.

what if apple releases a VR? it would be AMAZING. seeing as how the perfect everything. i mean we all know its a Wearable. we dont know what it is exactly, no one has yet to confirm it is in fact a watch yet, correct? or have i missed something huge lol

Tbh the iPhone has never been at a size where a stylus would be of any benefit, I am not convinced these phablets really do either. If you look at all the demo's in the keynote the pen is used instead of a finger as there is so much crammed on the small screen with their multi tasking a finger would struggle to cope. That isnt a justification only a poor UI choice.

The likes of a Galaxy tab and iPad though can def benefit from a stylus for productivity and creativity point of view.

what about touch points? like writing on a picture and sending it to someone? for example. when i write a message on a photo in Snapchat with my finger the font is just too big, even with the smallest option. if i could use a stylus wouldnt it be easier to "edit"? or is the touch point of a stylus the same as a finger?

Perfected? So I wonder what products Apple will be talking about next week at their gathering. After all, it can't be a new iPhone, since its been perfected already.

if were going to go LITERAL. then they are forever perfecting* a device which is exponentially more perfected than any of Samsung's products


*because nothing is perfect.

I just don't get why the Note Edge has to be a separate phone again. Just release a flagship phone that features all your latest stuff instead of releasing a different phone for just about every different feature.

I guess becAuse they are pulling the usual throw it the wall and see what sticks and so the can not put all their eggs in one basket.

Samsung as usual is an engineering company that can engineer things and produce them really fast and in ubandant quantities,but they can not do design and to be clear they can not choose the best design like apple so they just try all options.

So? you've got to see both sides of the coin, that's what makes this website, it is totally related to Apple (the competition factor) c'mon...
Click to expand...

I never said it shouldn't be here, only pointing out its covered thoroughly elsewhere as well.
 
Nevaborn said:
Apple sort of do release a standard device and then release the perfected version in the 'S' model a year later.

So we get A and A* devices.
Click to expand...

the standard is still perfected from the year before though, so regardless right?

i mean i5 or GS4? i5s or GS5? They are ahead every time. i do get what you're saying. both companies strive to perfect their cashcows but Apple is deff in the lead.

If apple and samsung carried the same amount of product in each category like 3 tables and 3 phones each i wonder if everyone would choose the iphone over the Galaxy? because a lot of android sells for less money right and thats why apple introduced the C? this is turning into a ramble sorry kinda typing while thinking.

There is just something about that curved display on the Note Edge that makes me hate it...Perhaps because it is not symmetrical? I guess time will tell if the public accepts them...

Perhaps because you are a mindless Apple fan who hates anything that is not made by Apple?

The Note 3 is a marvel of engineering. All those features, too numerous to name, in the same thickness of an iPhone 5S. Don't tell me that Samsung can't innovate too. They've been a lot more innovative in the last few years than Apple has. Not as pretty maybe, but innovative.

What is innovative? Squeezing more into less space is iterative, not innovative. Innovative means creating something new.

Of course I know that. I haven't been living with my head in the sand. NFC isn't new tech, but it looks like Apple will make good use of it and when it does, people like you will dismiss it claiming it's been around for ages, without understand that execution matters.

Saying adding a curve to the edge of the screen is 'real innovation' and dismissing things like Touch ID sounds like you're either blindly hating Apple, or a Samsung fanboy.

I'm not a mindless Apple fan, but the single curved surface just doesn't light my noodle. Maybe if both sides were curved equally, it might interesting. There is something to be said of symmetry.

A phone equipped with a Wacom digitizer isn't something new?

I've never owned an iPhone, but as long as Apple does what Apple does, they're gonna be just fine. iPhone 5/5s was way behind on specs compared to all the 2013 Android flagships and it performed and sold just fine. I used to hate on Apple, but I finally saw the light. They make high quality products that "work", and they often lead the market in technology that actually matters ( IPS display panels ). If anything Android is starting to fall behind, just as they were starting to pull ahead. Phone specs peaked in 2013 as far as I'm concerned, and instead of working on improving things like the camera, they're throwing 1440P into phones just to show "progress/improvement" .

Disclosure: I own an HTC One M7
