OZ Misses Out On Live Samsung Unpacked Event For “Beast” Of A Galaxy Note 4

Overnight Samsung confirmed that the launch will take place
in three simultaneous cities: Berlin, Beijing and New York at 11.00pm Sydney
time.

On show will be the new 
Galaxy Alpha and a new Galaxy Note 4, both dubbed iPhone killers by
Samsung PR executives.

According to Korea Times, an unnamed executive at Samsung
confirmed speculations that Samsung Unpacked 2014 Episode 2 will feature a new
Galaxy Note 4 that is packed with “cutting edge technology”. 

The supposed specs of this new smartphone could “cause problems for Apple”: metal-clad 5.7″ QHD Super AMOLED display with 2560 x 1440
resolution, Snapdragon 805 chipset or an Exynos 5 Octa with 2.5 GHz, 4 GB of
RAM and 16 MP rear-facing camera.

Wearables are also expected to be one of the talking points
of the program, as stiff smartwatch competition lurks around the corner.

Aside from the new flagship smartphones and wearables, The
Verge published an article that revealed an image of “virtual reality
headset” that will also be launched during this pre-IFA 2014 affair.
