Samsung’s Galaxy is growing today, as the company has revealed two new Note smartphones and a co-branded Oculus virtual reality headset at simultaneous press events in New York City, Beijing, and here in Berlin at the IFA 2014 show. The new Galaxy Note 4 and the Galaxy Note Edge are both Android-powered “phablets” that pack powerful 2.7GHz quad-core processors, quad-HD Super AMOLED screens, and Samsung’s signature S Pen. The Note Edge boasts a unique curved display that wraps around the right side of the device.
Pre-announcement VR headset context folded into the launch story
This announcement page now includes the earlier report that Samsung was developing a mobile VR headset for Galaxy devices. The pre-announcement story positioned Samsung's headset against Oculus Rift and Sony Project Morpheus, but with Android games and Samsung phones or tablets as the hardware base.
The final IFA announcement is the canonical page because it names the actual Samsung-Oculus headset reveal while preserving the earlier product-development context.
