Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to sweep IFA 2014 trade show

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will reportedly dominate the IFA trade show happening in Berlin next week.

The South Korean company will hold its Unpacked press event on Sept. 3. Samsung released a number of trailers teasing fans about the new functions and capabilities of the company's new phablet.

The latest trailers boasted improved features of the S-Pen, which is one of the distinctive features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. The new teaser, obviously highlighted the handwriting function of the S-Pen. One can expect that this handwriting function will be one of the main features shown in the upcoming phablet.

Another teaser showed testimonies from key influencers, such as fashion Blogger and model Martha Pozzan, barber and artist Day Day, and musician and spiritual healer Diva Dompe, and how they all benefit from using the Galaxy Note 4.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is rumored to pack a quadHD screen display with 2,560 x 1,440 pixel resolution, a 64-bit processor, an Android 4.4.3 Kitkat operating system, a 3GB RAM, and a 3 megapixel front-facing camera. The phablet is purported to come in two variants: the international variant will come with Exynos chipset and the unit released in the US will pack the Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor.

Furthermore, Korean media reported that instead of ISOCELL technology, the phablet will sport 12MP with Optical Image Stabilization paired with a 3.7MP front-facing camera. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 was also rumored to bring forth a UV Sensor and Retina Scanner although Samsung has not confirmed any of these rumors.

Meanwhile, an internal memo for Samsung employees leaked online prohibiting the filing of vacation leaves from Sept. 3 to Sept. 5 for the Unpacked event as well as between Sept. 15 and Sept. 28, when the phablet hits the retail stores in various markets. This almost confirmed that the launch of the Galaxy Note 4 will take place on Sept. 3.
