It's almost IFA time and that means Samsung is ready to deliver yet another Note series smartphone. This time around, in fact, the Korean market leader is bringing two new devices if rumours are on the money. Just earlier today we heard about the Galaxy Note Edge, which features a curved display, the likes of which we haven't seen in a smartphone ever. As for the Note 4, it's expected to be a culmination of all the best and latest from Samsung's various divisions and will be the first mainstream Samsung phone to feature a QHD or 2K display, a la the LG G3. In addition, we expected more a feature-filled stylus experience, a host of software features and of course some new things such as a supposed UV scanner and an Ultrasonic cover. Will Samsung manage to deliver on all that the public expects? We'll find out very soon. Follow our live blog below.
