NEW YORK -- Samsung Electronics on Wednesday unveiled two new smartphones in its Galaxy Note series, in new bid to pique consumer interest in its flagship products as well as to ward off a challenge from China's Huawei Technologies.

The South Korean giant launched the Note 10 and its larger companion 10+ in New York, a week after its mobile division reported a declining operating profit, citing sluggish demand in the premium handset market.
