iFixit performed a customary teardown of the second-generation Oculus Rift developer kit this week, and upon removing the headset’s LCD display, they discovered something unexpected — an actual Galaxy Note 3 front panel, complete with Samsung logo and cutouts for a headset speaker and home button.

Samsung has confirmed that it will launch a smartphone made from “new materials” within the next six months to counter increased competition. The announcement comes a day after sources revealed Samsung’s plan to launch the Galaxy Alpha, a device made out of metal, just next week.

Samsung’s first metal smartphone won’t be an even better version of the Galaxy S5 with a faster processor and a sharper display, according to a new report. Instead, it will be the Galaxy Alpha, a brand new handset that will combine a more premium form factor with midrange specifications when it makes its debut on August 4.

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 4 will finally drop the tacky plastic in favor of a new premium form factor made out of metal, a new report claims. It is also expected to become the first Samsung device to ship with a flexible display that should be much more durable than its predecessors.

A leaked list of applications that will be pre-installed on Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Note 4 appears to confirm the handset’s Quad HD display and support for a virtual reality device. Other APK files point to the inevitable return of Samsung’s Finger Scanner — but there is no mention of that rumored ultraviolet sensor.
