Thanks to Samsung for the invite to Samsung Galaxy Note 4 World Tour 2014 Singapore last Wednesday! Got a chance to play around with Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy Note Edge, Galaxy Gear S and Galaxy Gear VR.

Personally, I feel that both the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge have awesome build quality and the screen is superb. As usual, the only thing I don’t like about them is the amount of bloatware apps inside the phone.

The Galaxy Gear S is huge when worn on my wrist. The first time I looked at the curved screen on the Galaxy Gear S, it makes me feel giddy. After playing around with it for a few minutes, I got used to it. Not too sure if I am a fan of curved screen yet but it is a good breakthrough.

The Galaxy Gear VR is better designed than the Oculus Rift but personally after wearing it, I felt it is heavier than the Oculus Rift. Not a fan of the display inside the Gear VR, it seems very pixelated. Justin Lee agrees with me that the Oculus Rift display seems sharper.
