Hands-on: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 – Tablets Magazine

One of the most talked about products before the IFA in Berlin started was to be the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, as you can see on our special overview page . The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is now a fact and although the latest version of the popular phablet Samsung does not disappoint this nowhere exceeds expectations. Of course we have already spent some time with the Galaxy Note 4, and also in the above remains valid. During those experiences Beautiful and certainly better, but a superlative is achieved anywhere.



An even better screen

The expectations for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 course were really very high, so that it never exceeds phablet is also not a huge disaster. It is a fate that Apple’s iPhone, but occurs as too familiar. Samsung has chosen to have a new and better screen, still with a 5.7-inch format process. In the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 It is especially the resolution bump has received from HD to QHD. So these are 2560 x 1440 pixels!

In practice, we could best see the screen better, but whether it really makes a big difference, we’ll see if we can spend. the new phablet longer So this new screen means not more detail in photos and not sharper texts. Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is still equipped with a AMOLED display , and thus about the viewing angles and color reproduction of course also more than mustache. Whether this new step in the specs-war at the expense of battery life is something we will keep us. eye also on

More Metal

Where Samsung until now mainly pretended they made use of luxurious materials, the Korean manufacturer, as regards the Galaxy Note four chosen to actually grab the enclosure., to metallic This not only results in a direct firmer touch phone, it looks and feels also a lot more luxurious. A design element that we know from the Apple iPhone and iPad also comes back to the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Note 4 The metal is placed in a so-called champfered edge all around. This angled finish combined with brushing the remaining metal feel, and just looks very well.

The choice of metal, however, does not mean that the plastic that something different is trying to be completely gone. The back of the Galaxy Note 4 is still in plastic with leather structure. This is obviously a bit of faking things, it must be said that this plastic has some nice features and no doubt more will than a thin piece of leather.

S-Health and KitKat

One of the new features of the Note 4 along S Health. This includes a sensor that detects your heart rate can be measured. The sensor behind the phablet is processed may still have some more, because the SpO2 level of the user can be measured by the associated app. That is the amount of oxygen in your blood, especially useful for athletes and people with a condition to their airways. This is done through a special sensor which, among other uses UV technology.

course This is all linked to a special app from Samsung. During our hands-on time, we were unable to use all functions, not because we had such a lack of time, but mainly because the samples that were present at IFA had not yet provided the final hardware. In addition, the results of the sensor did not always correspond to different samples

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 equipped with the most at the time of writing current version of Android.; Android 4.4 KitKat. Or phablet L gets an update to Android is not yet clear, but we assume that Samsung comes up here. About Android Samsung has once again put back its own TouchWiz interface. Also here are several improvements, including the Multi Window function. For example, it is now possible to open, which take up a quarter of the screen. Apps in pop-ups However, you can still use the split-screen mode, but new here is that you can drag. Media and text from one screen to the other screen

An even better camera

Also new is the camera in the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 This time is for a 16 megapixel camera with optical image stabilization chosen. The front camera of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has been improved and now only has 3.7 megapixels at its disposal. Again, we have not been able to spend with the Note 4 in order to give a value. Judgment to have enough time The results we managed to achieve the perfect illuminated Samsung booth inspire confidence, but it is precisely for this moment that the lighting is not optimal of course.

As said, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 met our expectations , very high expectations that were tense. A top of the line – model that comes with 32GB of memory and put forward by one of the most modern processors on the market; a 2.7 GHz quad-core Exynos processor, coupled with 3GB RAM. In the time that we have had with the Note 4 to now we have no delays observed and seems to have four discs with the heavy TouchWiz skin, no problem, and that’s always been the case. And if we are really honest we begin to annoy us less and less.



An even better S-Pen

Of course, should the S-Pen this time missing and this pen has some minor improvements inherited. For example, the number of pressure levels are increased from 1024 to 2048 and is added Smart Collect. This feature lets you easily select media and text, and then save and share. The Air Command menu, to call on the S-Pen, this once again present and gives you access to eg a quick screenshot or a quick note.
