Galaxy Note 4 Will Launch at IFA 2014

Earlier this year, Samsung mobile chief Lee Young Hee told Bloomberg that it would be launched in the second half of 2014, while the Korea Times claims it has been told the Note 4 will arrive at the IFA show in Berlin.

And with Apple likely to introduce the next-gen handset, dubbed the iPhone 6, in either August or September, it is being certain to see comparisons between the two devices. The previous generations Galaxy Note handset, the Note 3, wasn't been a huge hit. In that case, the success of the Galaxy Note 4 really matters to Samsung.

Rumors are already rife, that Apple is planning to launch the iPhone 6 in two versions: one with a 4.7-inch screen and the other with a massive 5.5-inch display.

It's no secret that the iPhone 6 is going be a huge hit, as Apple will finally offer a bigger display to better challenge the likes of the LG G3 and Samsung Galaxy S5 In anticipation of huge demand, Apple has reportedly ordered 90 million iPhone 6 units from Foxconn.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Tipped to use a Flexible display

The upcoming Galaxy Note 4 is expected to have a bendable display, and now a Samsung executive has confirmed that the company is at least thinking about it. Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, Samsung VP of mobile Lee Younghee confirmed that Samsung is thinking about a flexible display.

Earlier this year, ZDNet Korea first reported that an upcoming Galaxy device will come with a "bent" display, then a patent application revealed a purported device with a screen that curves around the side of a Note-type handset.
