Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Design will be curved
So yeah, I just picked up the Note 3 phablet myself last week, absolutely love it. But obviously Samsung has a new model in the world already. Samsung mobile chief Lee Young Hee told Bloomberg that it would be launched in the second half of 2014, while the Korea Times claims it has been told the Note 4 will arrive at the IFA show in Berlin. Sources get even more specific, claiming it will arrive on September 3. In most countries you will see a Galaxy note 4 with curved display.
Korea Times shares the following:
An executive of another local Samsung partner said the company is set to wow the industry and participants at the new independent venue as the company will unveil wearable devices, the Galaxy Note3 sequel, home appliances and curved OLED TVs. "Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Note4 phablet, UHD OLED TVs, a Google Glass rival, and home appliances at the upcoming IFA," said the executive. Samsung is in the progress of fixing details about its new announcements, he said. "The Note4 will have two versions ― one with a curved OLED display for niche markets and the other a flat OLED display for mass marketing," said the executive.
Galaxy Note 4 leaks indicate that the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will feature a 5,7" 2K display screen of 2560 x 1440 resolution. Galaxy Note 4 leaked document however also suggest the idea of a 4K display, but we find that highly unlikely.
Thus far samsung has announced merely one curved smartphone, the Galaxy Round which was only released in South-Korea.

I'm so satisfied with my Note 3 too, that I wonder what they'd have to put inside Note 4 to make people consider an upgrade.
Perhaps in other countries it looks different, but over here people are more and more aware of the cost of the phone. Even recently changed law requires carriers to explicitly state what part of the contract payment is for the phone itself. There are more and more interesting phone-less contract options, making people less likely to buy new phones. Having SGS2 before, I could still keep it, but well... I found a sweet deal and made myself an xmas gift
Effectively, having all Notes in family, I think that:
Note 3 - I have no idea what they'd have to come up to make me and others upgrade.
Note 2 - Upgrade to Note 3 wasn't obvious. It's a solid phone, and upgrading it to Note 3 felt like a waste of money. However contracts may have already expired, and the unfortunate back cover is slippery, so perhaps it's Note 2, not 3 users who are the target. Still, it's not an obvious switch.
Note 1 - It's getting old, especially with limited app storage. Yet, it still works and does the job. The screen can't match the new phones, but I can't say that it's bad by any means. Note 4 (even Note 3) would be an obvious upgrade in this case, yet if you're short on $$$ or have other means of spending it, there's nothing bad in keeping the good old working Note 1.

only thing worthy of a mention from the leaks so far is the screen resolution bump, but even then its not enough to make me jump from a note3 to a note4
