We know the adage, "you can't judge a book by its cover" and this is increasingly true for Samsung's products. The new Galaxy Note 4 might not look like much of an improvement from the exterior, but in terms of hardware, it is good enough for me to rethink about getting Oppo Find 7 as my next new phone.



The new Note 4 has all the advantages that the Oppo Find 7 once had: the QuadHD display, the super highspeed charging, optical stabilisation and a much upgraded wide-angle mode for the camera, though not as good-looking at the Find 7, the Note 4 may well be the best Android phone 2014, unless of course, the Find 9 comes out, if any.



As for the Note Edge, I think Samsung has missed the boat of wowing the world. This phone should have been released before the iPhone 5s or even the iPhone 5, now with just a bit more edge screen, I seriously do not see the coolness in it.


Now, this Gear VR IS COOL, probably because we don't know the pricing yet, but it this is going to be expensive, it will not be making an impact more than any other VR headset did in the past, which means, no impact at all.


Though still pretty big, it is by far the best smartwatch by Samsung, and it fits even better into the advertisement below:




Vocabulary:
adage -- (n)[C] a wise saying
you can't judge a book by its cover -- saying said to show that you cannot know what something or someone is like by looking only at that person or thing's appearance
