Samsung GALAXY Note 4

Introduction

As it has been doing on a yearly basis ever since the release of the first Samsung GALAXY Note, Samsung has put on a huge event in Berlin that coincides with IFA trade show to announce the GALAXY Note 4 the successor to their premium flagship phablet the GALAXY Note 3. The high-end handset stole the show with it’s improved new S-Pen features.

This time around the updates have primarily been in the hardware department with the Note 4 donning a new aluminium chassis that replaces the old plastic faux metal chassis on the GALAXY Note 3.

The Design

It’s been obvious that Samsung has been listening to the complaints of the build quality of it’s devices feeling flimsy and plasticky. In response it has released the premium GALAXY Alpha and now improved upon the already premium design of the GALAXY Note 3 and added an aluminium chassis on

the Note 4. The Note 4 feels premium in hand and definitely better and lighter than last year’s Note 3. The back of the device has also been improved with the stitching on the Note 3 removed and only the Faux leather finish kept. The design upgrades are definitely welcome and give the device a more luxurious feel.

The Display

The first thing you will come to know about the Note 4 is it’s 2K display(2560×1440) that gives a mind blowing pixel per inch count that is 515. It’s slightly below the LG G3’s pixel count which similar to the Note 4 boasts of a 2K 5.5inch display. There is no difference in resolution between the LG G3’s display and the Note 4’s display but there is a quite a bit

difference when it comes to differentiating on the basis of color. The main and obvious reason for this is that the LG G3 uses an LCD Panel while the GALAXY Note 4 uses Samsung’s Super AMOLED display. The Note 4 uses the same Adaptive Display technology found on the GALAXY Tab S range which simply means that it will automatically adjust its colors according to the warmness and brightness of the ambient light.

The Camera

Another of the major improvements in the Note 4 over the Note 3 is in the terms of the camera. In the Megapixel count it’s jumped up to 16-MegaPixels from 13-MegaPixels on the Note 3. The camera also clocks in f1.9 f stop meaning in layman’s terms that the lense takes in 60% more light than the Note 3’s

camera paving the way for better quality images. The

camera can also be used in unision with the S-Pen where a new feature called Snap Note allows you to take a picture of a pice of paper or in fact any thing that has text on it allowing you to change color and size of the text and even editing the text.
