Samsung unveiled officially phablet Galaxy Note 4 at IFA 2014 in Berlin. He was accompanied by the unexpected launch of the Galaxy Note Edge, who was the first on the market have “wrapped” on one edge of the screen. Note 4 in comparison to the predecessor model, Note 3, offers a lot of improvements such as eg. A better screen and a faster processor. Below you will find a review of this interesting device.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4: Price
Galaxy Note 4 is a very efficient phablet, for which you have to pay a minimum of 2879 zł (by Ceneo.pl). It should be noted, however, that competes with the Apple iPhone 6 Plus 3399 zł costs and this version when provided with only 16 GB of memory (Note 4 also allows you to expand the memory via microSD katy).

Samsung Galaxy Note 4: Design
Overall design Galaxy Note 4 does not deviate too much from the Galaxy Note 3. The device has in fact the same size screen and are characterized by similar dimensions and weight. It is worth noting that, although the rear flap decided to re-do the plastic-like texture of the skin, it was decided to abandon the criticized by users Note 3 plastic seam.

In addition, the device is now surrounded by a metal frame, which is clearly visible in the picture below:

In summary, the changes, but beauty (unfortunately still allowed to cheap plastic), ensure that Note 4 looks better than Far Note 3. him but to “premium experience” what we have in holding the hands of smartphones, which are made of aluminum.
Galaxy Note 4 is, according to Samsung, thicker than its predecessor by 0.2 millimeters, while the measurements seem to indicate that this difference is just over 0.1 millimeters greater. The device, like iPhone 6 Plus , creates problems while using one hand (with the help of some software come here for solutions). Who did not have a hand as big as a basketball will therefore have to take into account the difficulties in reaching the buttons, especially beneath the lower right edge of the screen, the back button. When it comes to weight, Note 4 “gained weight” of 8 grams.
In sum, although the Note 4 is about 0.2-0.3 millimeters thicker and slightly heavier than its predecessor , does not cause any appreciable change significantly. Moreover, it should be noted that at the 0.6 millimeter narrower, which at a slightly greater thickness means that put it in the pocket is not harder than Note 3. It is important, however, to add here that, unfortunately, like the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Gadget Samsung also has a protruding outside the housing lens. It should also be noted that Apple’s hardware is much more slender.
As for the available colors, there are four: white, black, pink, brown. In addition, Samsung has partnered with Swarovski, as a result of which the market will also exclusive edition of the device (along with the watch Samsung Gear S) encrusted with crystals.

Finally, it is of course also mention S Pen stylus (actually write about it later), which we hide in a special slot located on the unit.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4: Display
Samsung has remained at 5.7 inches, but in the wake of the LG G3 decided to use a much higher resolution qHD (2560 x 1440 pixels), which resulted in a gain immense pixel density of 515 ppi.
Samsung stresses that the screen surface is made 2.5D technology (similar to that used once in GALAXY SIII), which means that the edges are slightly curved, thereby facilitating to be moved on the one finger. In practice, it is rather difficult, however, to note the advantages of this solution.
When using the screen Note 4 has an amazing sense of depth, which is the effect we experience a Full HD screen. The projected image is sharp, and very wide viewing angles. In addition, the panel features high brightness, so you can safely set it to one of the lower levels.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4: Key components
Galaxy Note 4 offers 805 Snapdragon SoC that uses the power of quad-core Krait 450 (2.7 GHz) and the Adreno 420 (for some markets was provided Exynos 5433 system: 4 x 1.9 GHz + 4 x 1.3 GHz ). If we add the 3 GB of RAM should expect a very efficient platform. And in fact the process of launching applications and switching between them runs very smoothly. Slightly worse Note 4 but falls against the iPhone 6 Plus:
Samsung Galaxy Note vs Apple iPhone 4 6 Plus
In the case of the benchmark Geekbench 3 Galaxy Note 4 achieved a fantastic result more than 3000 points. In the case of graphics tests, however, had to recognize the superiority of a competitor. In addition, disappointing result achieved when measuring the speed of browsing the web.
Galaxy Note 4 offers 32 GB of internal memory. Fortunately, if we have such a need, we can be expanded up to 128 GB. In terms of connectivity you get at the disposal of: 802.11ac WiFi, 4G LTE (category 6), NFC, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS, MHL 3.0 and IR LED (remote control). In addition, we can use introduced with the S5 Galaxy Download Booster technology, which combine 4G and WiFi capabilities allow is for maximum download speeds of 400 Mb / s.
On this occasion it is worth noting that Note 4 in Unlike Note 3, does not offer a microUSB 3.0 port, but microUSB 2.0. Probably Samsung has come to the conclusion that with this first used by very few people.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4: New Features
Galaxy Note 4 , like the Galaxy S5 offers a Heart Rate Monitor (located on the back of the device) sensor, oxygenation, and a fingerprint scanner, which has been integrated with the Home button. The first of these solutions may appeal to fitness fanatics, while the other continues to require that the scan Swipe your finger across the button (in the case of the Galaxy S5 caused problems, but Samsung ensures that the Galaxy Note “improved operation of the fingerprint reader”) . For comparison, in the case of the iPhone scanner simply place a finger on Touch ID.
Interestingly, Note 4 has a UV sensor. Samsung claims to be the first in the history of mobile devices. It is located behind and is part of the S Health. With it, you will be notified of the current intensity of UV rays and instructed on how to avoid overexposure.
In summary, the Note 4 by many different applications and the sensors S Health is now a useful platform that allows to monitor the operating parameters of the body.
Samsung has built a device improved microphone system (three microphones) with an active filter ambient sounds that allow for directional voice recording. We can use the interview mode (focused on the sound of up above and below the device, muting sounds from the environment), meetings (detects the direction from which comes the voice), or voice note. In the first two, we can then turn off the voice of one or more persons, and listen only to the elect.

The solution is doing quite well . It seems that for the average user is unlikely to be helpful. It certainly can, however, be interested in eg. A journalist or a student recording lectures.
