Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge to be announced today: renders leak hours before unveiling

We’re all looking forward to the big Samsung Unpacked Episode 2 keynote where the company is expected to unveil to the world its newest Galaxy Note 4, but a fresh leak hours before the event kicks off shows renders of not one, but two new forthcoming devices.



The picture on the right shows Samsung’s Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge, and while we’ve heard about the Note 4, the Note Edge is the real surprise here. With a curved display that flows to the sides of the device, it’s a brand new form factor. We’ve seen teasers and concepts for such a gadget for a long time - Samsung itself showed its Youm ‘three-sided’ foldable display that’s likely in use here.



In the Galaxy Note Edge, the side of the smartphone previously reserved for physical buttons, is now occupied with a usable touchscreen: the picture here shows how the side displays basic information about the time, battery status, signal level, but also shows missed notifications. This could be a nice way to quickly check what’s new on your phone without actually unlocking it.



Is the Galaxy Note Edge really coming, though? We’ll know in just a couple of hours - stay tuned for our liveblog from IFA 2014 Berlin.

Thanks for the tip, Leaker!
