Samsung announced three new devices on Wednesday in a global simulcast presentation, showing off newer and better screens for it global consumers.

The company fired warnings to other competitors with Galaxy Note 4, Note Edge and a virtual reality headset in the Gear VR.

Galaxy Note 4

Galaxy Note 4 comes as big-screen flagship smartphone for Samsung, even as a company executive announced the phone will make for “selfies with even more people!” through its front and back cameras.

The Note 4 has a Quad HD Super AMOLED display that will improve resolution and quality, though the actual screen size remains the same.

The camera’s been beefed up to 16 megapixels. There’s a multi-window to take advantage of the screen’s large size and an S-pen to write.

The multi-window is a handy feature that at first feels a bit counter-intuitive. Holding the back button brings up a task bar with some basic apps like the camera and Facebook.

Dragging multiple of the icons onto the main screen, my phone splits into the multi-window to allow for easy multi-tasking.

The camera can be layered even on top of that as a smaller window if you need to see for a quick photo without losing where you are in a task.

Note Edge

The Note Edge is a bit quirkier, a phone with a ticker-like bar that runs horizontally on the edge of the phone.

That display can be changed to show email or other top-priority information like the weather, and turns into an alarm clock at night. Samsung also announced an open Edge SDK for developers to play with the new bar.

What’s perhaps strangest about the Note Edge–its edge is literal, one side curved to hold.

Gear VR

According to analysts, the Gear VR device is made in partnership with Oculus VR and is Samsung’s push into virtual reality.

The device has got initial partners like Marvel and Legendary Pictures, pushing a focus on entertainment. “It’s a virtual cinema,” said Samsung EVP John Pleasants. The device will be on sale later in the fall.
