We were at the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 World Tour 2014 yesterday and we were mightily impressed by Samsung’s new Galaxy Note 4 4G+ and Galaxy Note Edge 4G+. The expansion of Samsung’s flagship Galaxy Note series certainly packs a punch and we anticipate that there will be a huge market demand for the new GALAXY Note 4 4G+ and Galaxy Note Edge 4G+.
On top of that, Samsung also unveiled the Samsung Gear S, the next generation smart wearable device that expands the smartphone experience to the wrist. The new Samsung Gear S delivers an up-to-date smart wearable experience with 3G connectivity and wearable optimised features to meet the evolving needs of consumers.

With an extraordinary 5.7-inch Quad HD SUPER AMOLED Display [2560 x 1440], the Galaxy Note 4 4G+ reproduces clearer and more vivid images with deep contrast, better viewing angles, and response times as fast as a millionth of a second, providing a tremendous viewing experience.

The Galaxy Note 4 4G+ comes equipped with multiple microphones and an improved speaker phone for better noise cancellation when speaking in loud environments.

For the fashionable ladies, the crystal back cover by Swarovski for the Galaxy Note 4 4G+ is a head turner
& for the men, the Mont Blanc Galaxy Note 4 Cover and S Pen might be quite intriguing.

Samsung Galaxy Note Edge 4G+
Samsung’s relentless pursuit of the best in innovation through the optimisation of mobile technology and the user experience has led to the debut of the innovative and unique Galaxy Note Edge 4G+. Taking the Galaxy Note experience to the next level, the Galaxy Note Edge 4G+ provides users with a new way to access information, engage with their mobile device, and express their personality and tastes.
The Galaxy Note Edge 4G+’s unique curved Edge screen provides quick access to frequently used apps, alerts and device functionality. Users can also receive notifications directly on the Edge Screen while watching videos without interrupting their viewing.
Our Personal Opinion of Samsung Galaxy Note Edge 4G+
The Galaxy Note Edge 4G+ has a very similar specification as the Galaxy Note 4 4G+ except that the Galaxy Note Edge 4G+ runs on a 2.7GHz Quad Core Processor while the Galaxy Note 4 4G+ runs on either the 2.7GHz Quad Core Processor or the 1.9GHz Quad-Core [1.9GHz Quad + 1.3GHz Quad-core] processor.
From what we do know, the Galaxy Note Edge 4G+ will only be available in the fourth quarter of this year [between October to December].
If you are an early adopter of technology, the Galaxy Note Edge 4G+ might just be the phone for you. However, we personally prefer the Galaxy Note 4 4G+ over the Galaxy Note Edge 4G+ because we like our smartphone to be well protected and not have a curved Edge screen that is exposed.
Samsung Gear S
The Samsung Gear S with its display and flexible band, fits comfortably on the user’s wrist. Through 3G connectivity, the Samsung Gear S offers a new, powerful wearable experience and gives consumers the freedom to live their life on the go.
The Samsung Gear S features a 2-inch curved SUPER AMOLED display, providing a richer view with a beautiful and easy-to-use user interface. It allows users to read messages and notifications at a single glance with features such as conversation view and condensed font. The Samsung Gear S’s chic, curved design fits comfortably around the contours of the wrist, while its customisable screen options and changeable straps empower users to express their own taste and style.
The Samsung Gear S extends its communication capabilities to include 3G as well as Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi® connectivity, allowing users to stay informed with seamless notifications from social networks, calendars and applications even when away from their phone. It lets users instantly reply to incoming messages using the onscreen keyboard, or utilise enhanced S Voice functionality to ensure tasks can be completed immediately. Finally, with Samsung Gear S, people can seamlessly make and receive calls directly from their wrist, or get calls forwarded from their smartphones.
Like the Galaxy Note 4 4+, the Samsung Gear S is also a perfect health and fitness companion with more enhanced multi-sensors, built-in GPS, and Enhanced S Health features to help users maintain a healthier lifestyle. The Gear S also features advanced coaching functionality that helps keep users motivated to achieve their workout goals. In addition, applications such as Nike+ Running allow users to track their runs and stay motivated while on the move, without their smartphone. With IP67 rating [dust and water resistant] and a UV sensor, the Gear S is designed for users’ active lifestyles.
Our Personal Opinion/Review of the Samsung Gear S
In all honesty, we are extremely tempted to get the Samsung Gear S because it is very functional and useful! Packed with so many features, it allows users to stay connected even when they are away from their smartphone and that itself is a major plus point. Furthermore,
For those whom lead an active lifestyle, the Samsung Gear S is definitely the smart watch that you want to get! The Samsung Gear S will be available in Blue Black and White, from 11 October 2014 at SGD$498.
