First look at the Samsung Galaxy Note 4

The first smartphone in the line Note, Samsung has shown in 2011, and has since ruled unchallenged this niche. Contrary to expectations, that the large smartphone uncomfortable to use, at the Note, a large number of fans. However, last year was difficult for Samsung, sales have slowed down, and it became clear that the company needed impetus for further development. They should be out Galaxy Note 4, as well as a number of new products. Let’s see what the Note 4, and if he has a chance to become a new hit for Samsung.

 Design and materials of the body

 At first glance, Galaxy Note 4 little changed compared to its predecessor, the same form factor of comparable size, but in fact changes in design and materials there.

 Picking up Note 4 immediately realize that this is another device, which greatly contributes to the metal edging of the body, which pleasantly cools hand. Metal though covers only a small part of the body, but it adds much needed toughness, is not even the slightest hint of scratches and play.

 The back cover Galaxy Note 4 is made of soft plastic has become traditional for Samsung pattern under the skin. This time, however, the company has been without a decorative stitch around the perimeter of the cover. Past the rear of the design I liked more, but it should be noted that in the current version, it is better to fit into the style of the device.

 The front panel is covered by a Galaxy Note 4 safety glass, while it is rounded at the edges of the housing. In addition to the unusual visual effect, this approach also adds ease of use; the finger does not cling to the edge of the metal edging.

 Location of Controls in Note 4 is not changed compared to the Note 3. on the right edge of the new smartphone is the key lock screen, on the left – volume button. At the top end, you can find a 3.5mm headphone jack, and the bottom – the port microUSB.

 The external speaker has moved to the back of the case, so it will be more difficult to block during the games and watching videos.

 In general, it is worth noting that the body materials Galaxy Note 4 are better design also changed, but the smartphone maintain a consistent style. Dimensions of new items are 153,5h78,6h8,5 mm, Note 4 already predecessor, but a little taller and thicker. Weight of the machine is also increased to 176 grams, but in the hand it is not strongly felt.

 Display

 In Galaxy Note 4 uses a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560×1440 pixels. Live screen looks really good, the Samsung also claim that it has a 90% color gamut Adobe RGB.

 CPU & GPU

 Display stand in Berlin, Samsung Galaxy Note Shows the version 4 with Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with a frequency of 805 GHz 2.65. In Ukraine, as in the case of the previous models, come modification Note 4 chip based Samsung Octa Core, working in 4 + 4 cores with a frequency of 1.3 GHz and 1.9 GHz. Complementing all of this 3 GB, and 32 GB of internal memory which can be expanded by another 128 GB due to the card slot microSD.

 Performance measurements did not make sense to produce, as in the Ukraine to come version Octa Core, which was not on the bench. It should be noted that the benchmark AnTuTu I still tried to run, but it gave an error just at the end of the test. Speaking subjectively, then the performance of Galaxy Note 4 increased slightly, the big difference in this respect compared to Note 3 no. Apparently, the increased resolution affects the display.

 S-Pen Stylus

 With the Galaxy Note 4, Samsung traditionally presented and a new stylus S Pen. Compared with the version to Note 3, the new pen is able to recognize up to 2048 degrees of depression, angle, turn, and speed of movement. For lovers to take handwritten notes or draw new S Pen will be a real gem.

Camera

 In Galaxy Note 4 installed main 16-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization system. In low light conditions the exhibition hall to evaluate the quality of photos of the smartphone is difficult, but it should be noted that it is quite nice to cope with poor lighting.

 On trend “selfi” at the presentation recalls almost every company, and Samsung was no exception. In Note 4 installed a 3.7-megapixel camera, which supposedly is perfect to photograph him. In this case, it is possible to do both conventional and panoramic pictures.

 Battery

 Using the Battery Pack on the 3220 mAh compared to 3200 mAh in Note 3, with significantly increased resolution display, it looks like a bad joke Samsung. Nevertheless, the company claim that the autonomy of Galaxy Note 4 increased by at least 7.5%.

 To achieve this has been due to more energy-efficient components, in particular, the new processor.

 Samsung also drew attention to the velocity of the charge the smartphone. In Note 3 battery has been charged up to 50% for about 55 minutes, in Note 4 company promises that it will take about 30 minutes.

 Result

 It can be stated that a number of key parameters of Samsung still managed to improve the Galaxy Note 4. Fans lines are unlikely to be disappointed with the new smartphone. Smartphone sales will start in October, which means that soon it should be in our editorial.
