Galaxy Note 4 is king in phablet country – Knack.be

When Samsung came up with his first Galaxy Note in 2011, thus taking a new smartphone range in the market, the Koreans were greeted with derision. 50 million units sold later, every self-respecting producer at least one phablet in the portfolio, including Apple.

The question is thus inevitable today, or Samsung still takes the lead in this self-created niche, and whether the Note 4 real king is phablet country. After a two-week test of the response appears to be positive that question.

The first thing you notice when you remove your device from the box, is that it is considerably heavier than its predecessor. That’s because the phablet has finally been given an aluminum frame, which makes the device much more robust and firmer, and – let’s be honest – even a suit more beautiful and elegant than the plastic looks Note 3.

However, the greatest asset of this fourth generation Galaxy Note is the phenomenal and super bright 5.7 inch Quad HD Amoled screen, which we already knew from the latest generation of Samsung tablets, and with a pixel density of 551 ppi (2.560×1.440) iPhone 6 Plus also leaves behind.

Hardware

do

For the remaining hardware specs are concerned little to fear from the competition. Note 4 The Snapdragon processor 805 makes the phablet a real speed demon, and the memory of 4 GB (!) Ensures that you can run different apps smoothly together.

That you can multitask smoothly is additionally used by Samsung as a major selling point. It is even possible to reduce multiple apps to windows and to drag text from the one in the other window (a bit like a Windows desktop). Interesting feature, but does anyone really use them on a screen of 5.7 inch?

In addition, is the 16 megapixel camera with optical image stabilization of an excellent quality. In most circumstances you can do with it really good pictures, and you of course also take film in 4K. Can Only when you digitally zoom in too far there is loss of quality (an evil difficult to solve on smartphones) and also with images on dimly lit places, the camera has a bit harder. The Selfie-shooter on the front has a resolution of 3.7 megapixels and features a panorama mode for those who want to capture whole families.

Stylus

What the Note 4 course apart from other phablets, his pen, and that has gotten an update. On the previous Notes the Spen had the accuracy of a child’s shaky hand, but you can with the new pen indeed draw thin lines and writing readable texts on the screen.

It is great that the smartphone can convert your writings into typed text, but the most useful feature of the new Spen is it that you can select all kinds of text, on websites and within apps, and that you can then edit that text and share.

For completeness, I want to mention that the Note 4 is equipped with a heart rate monitor, a UV sensor, a fingerprint scanner and a special battery that can be recharged already half an hour before the half.

Through software is the refreshed TouchWiz interface (which we also saw on the Galaxy S5) clearer and brighter than its predecessor, although the shell of Samsung clearer. Still more intuitive, easier and

Which brings us to the negatives, which are also there. The initial price of 700 euros is still really on the high side compared to competitive devices (Apple excluded), and the Note had 4 can safely be waterproof, like the Galaxy S5. The battery had been allowed to sing it out a little longer, all the brings ultra power saving mode take some solace at difficult moments.

Finally, we like to see run on Android 5 Lollipop this phablet. Wondering how long it takes Samsung to roll out update. We can

In conclusion, surely that Samsung has ever put his best device in the market with the Galaxy Note 4. And then the title of king in phablet country quite justified.
