Samsung showcased in Singapore today most of the new devices it unveiled during IFA 2014 in a media preview.

The Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge are the latest additions to the Galaxy Note family.
Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge Android smartphones
The Galaxy Note 4 has a 5.7-inch Quad HD (2560×1440) Super AMOLED display and sports the Multi Window feature for multi-tasking.
It ships with a 16-megapixel rear camera with Smart Optical Image Stabilizer, and a 3.7-megapixel front camera with f1.9 lens with 120 degrees wide angle.
The Note 4 also has a Fingerprint Scanner and a UV sensor.
The Galaxy Note Edge has a 5.6-inch screen that wraps around the right side of the device.
The Galaxy Note Edge will be available in “Charcoal Black” and “Frost White” in select markets through Samsung’s retail channels, e-commerce and carriers later this year.
Gear VR mobile headset
Samsung and Oculus has collaborated to create the mobile VR headset optimised for the Galaxy Note 4.
The Samsung Gear VR works with the 5.7-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display of the Galaxy Note 4.
With the Gear VR Innovator Edition, users could feel like he/she is sitting in a theater, on stage in the middle of a performance with full 360 3D video, or gaming inside the stunning imaginary worlds.
Built with soft, flexible cushioning and lightweight materials, the Samsung Gear VR is wireless, without being tethered to a computer.
The Samsung Gear VR will be available in Frost White through the Samsung online channel and selectively by carriers this year.
Gear S smartwatch and Gear Circle earphones
The Gear S was unveiled last week and is the latest iteration of Samsung’s Gear series of smartwatches.
The Samsung Gear S features a 2-inch curved Super AMOLED display, and allows users to read messages and notifications on the screen using conversation view and condensed font..
The Gear S is capable of 3G, Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity and works with apps like HERE (turn-by-turn pedestrian navigation), S Health, and Nike+ Running.
The Gear Circle is a wireless earphone that pairs with smartphones via Bluetooth.
It has a magnetic lock which clasps around the user’s neck when not in use, as well as a vibrate function to signal incoming calls and notifications.
Both the Samsung Gear S and the Gear Circle will be available in global markets in phases through Samsung’s retail channels, e-commerce websites and via carriers beginning October.

the earphones look like cobra! :-p
erm… i suppose so. But it looks quite cool when worn around the neck.
I like the watch. Looks classy and elegant.
Yes the design looks classic like a chronograph. I like it too.
The Note Edge looks fanciful but not sure what special feature is enable?
Yes looks quite cool. But at the moment, not much functionality, except as additional screen real estate. So far, the only application that really exploit its unique characteristic is as a display clock – you can still read the time from the side view even if the phone is resting flat on its back.
Everybody seems to be so excited about the galaxy Note edge. But what does it REALLY do?!
Not much. Maybe over time, developers will find some real practical use for that wrap-around portion of the screen.
