Galaxy Note 4 has all the ingredients that we know from the series. A huge screen of 5.7 inch diameter (14.48 cm), a drukgevoellige stylus that can be placed in the unit, beastly specifications remarkably good battery life, excellent camera (literally and figuratively) and unfortunately a hefty price.

?!
Of course, there is also renewed. First of all, in the housing. Around the appliance is a metal edge that the Note 4 a lot firmer and allows the device to be a lot tougher look. Placed The back is still plastic and has a leather-like texture that is very comfortable in the hand. The back can be removed to replace the SIM card, place card and battery. An advantage of Samsung handsets compared to competitors with glass or metal backs.
Note 4 feels a lot stronger thanks to the metal edge.
Sharper than necessary
The huge screen panel is also the first screen in a Samsung smartphone with a qHD resolution of 2560 by 1440. A sharp resolution we only found in the G3 LG to previously. Although the differences between ordinary Full HD and qHD on a relatively small screen is not particularly large, there is no denying that her sharp image. The picture is not only sharp, it is also clear, making it pleasant to read when the sun shines on your screen. In addition, the super AMOLED panel ensures colors of your screen splashes off.
More space for many apps
Of course, the Galaxy Note runs Android, which Samsung virtually no element of the open operating system has not changed with the Touchwiz interface. As usual with Samsung phones, the four discs full of features and applications, which you probably rarely used in practice. In that respect it is very nice that the Note 4 32 GB is delivered to storage memory. Only it also has an impact on the battery life. Which is still acceptable (up to a half day in ordinary use), but could be better.
Flipboard has been the prominent place that Google assigned correctly in Android 4.4 to Google Now. So you within two finger gestures always news in preselected categories available, and, it looks attractive.
There is also another excess advance to find installed apps. The integration of Dropbox, Evernote and Flipboard is nothing to criticize. Also, the infrared port with its remote very pleasant. Only the second browser and additional application store Samsung unnecessary and much more limited than Chrome and Play Store. (Respectively) Also, Samsung’s Siri competitor S Voice is too small to be functional. Shame, because the voice recognition can mean exceptionally well. Let alone the answers to be desired.
Finger on the device
Like the Galaxy S5 has the Galaxy Note 4 lots of space for health measurement and biometrics. On the front is a fingerprint scanner, which you can use to unlock your phone and verify payments by PayPal. The idea is that you slide your finger over the scanner button. This works quite awkward, especially if you glide your finger from the knuckle down, which is virtually impossible if you have the device with one hand. Fortunately, the scanner also works if you sideways swipe your finger down. Only comes in the practice that you often have to make multiple attempts to unlock your Note 4. So it has little value compared to a security or pattern.
The heart rate monitor sits on the back of the unit, next to the flash. Not only can a snapshot of your pulse rate make this sensor can also be used to measure your ‘stress levels, the oxygen level in the blood and if you put the sensor to the sun can even measure the UV radiation. The data the sensor collects are plausible, except that the heart rate ever experienced failures. Not only in terms harstlagsnelheid, but also the measurement fails often making multiple attempts are needed. All data collected by the sensor end up in the S Health app correctly. It is unfortunate that other apps can not use the sensor so that it can really add value.
Pity the health data may only be processed by S Health.
Stylus
Like all the previous Note devices is there a stylus available that you can use on the screen. Do not use the pin then you simply slide it into the bottom of the grip. The stylus works pretty accurate and is particularly useful for precision: retouch photos and images, make sketches, scribbling notes, etc. A handy addition, you probably are not used in practice very regular
Conclusion
Galaxy Note 4 is one of the most powerful smartphones we have so far encountered. In terms of hardware, there is no weak spot to designate, with a fast processor, sufficient RAM, nice camera, 32GB of storage that is further expandable and acceptable battery life. However, it is unfortunate that the Samsung device so cram with applications that are not good enough, farfetched or restricted to they really practice regularly use and functions. Moreover, it is just a waste of hardware and battery capacity.
The large screen is a joy to work with, not only by its size but also because the image is sharp and clear. Videos, photos and texts are excellent at their best. The stylus gives some extra features, especially if you want to work accurately. Also the case with a metal edge is a considerable progress in terms of appearance and firmness. The choice to go or not, however, for the Galaxy Note 4 is located on the format. The 15 by 8 inch size is not suitable. For most pockets Remember, however, with plus size models to go, then the Note 4 a pricey, but otherwise excellent choice.
