Hands-on: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 – Techzine

Samsung has presented its second flagship in 2014, alongside the Galaxy S5 is now the Galaxy Note 4 announced. Samsung has again lots of innovations implemented in the Galaxy Note 4, some innovations will be familiar to the Galaxy S5, but the Galaxy Note 4 also features all-new features.

In recent years, Samsung chose to make. the screen of the Galaxy Note a little bigger every year This year for the first time is not the case, the screen size has remained the same at 5.7 inches. However, the increased screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels to 2560 x 1440 pixels. That means more pixels per inch, the difference with the naked eye is not easy to see, but the image is therefore sharper than that of his predecessor. If you go view photos it would be hard to observe, with text you see quickly that this sharper displays in such resolution.


Samsung has finally said goodbye to the entire plastic casing, the Galaxy Note 4 features a metal frame, it took a while but Samsung also seems to be and invest in quality materials. The build quality of the Galaxy 4 is therefore probably a lot better than its predecessors. In terms of design has not changed much in itself compared to the Galaxy Note 3, only the home button has become larger and the black bar below the screen is therefore somewhat higher, this is probably a direct result of adding the fingerprint scanner .

The back of the Galaxy Note 4 above feels a lot softer here is still using plastic. Among the camera except now also be found. Flash a heart rate monitor Samsung has therefore chosen to apply. The the Galaxy S5 introduced fingerprint sensor and heart rate monitor on the Galaxy Note 4 That includes the Galaxy Note 4 also has additional applications in combination with these sensors, including additional security for example screen unlock and saving protected files and folders.

The specifications of the handset are also worth . Probably the Galaxy Note 4, the first device that will be available in Belgium and the Netherlands with a Snapdragon 805 chip. This new chip from Qualcomm has four cores, running at a clock speed of 2.7 GHz and is considerably faster than the Snapdragon 801 used in their high-end appliances. Many other manufacturers In addition, this chip provides support for LTE-advanced, which is an expansion of 4G that also slowly becoming available in the Netherlands. Samsung also makes a variant of the Galaxy Note 4 with its own Exynos processor, but probably will in the Benelux only the Qualcomm version on the market.

In this powerful processor is also a new GPU, the Adreno 420 graphics chip in performance Also this is yet unknown to us. There is also 3GB available. Of RAM and 32GB of storage in the device At the back, Samsung has a 16 megapixel camera loaded with optical image stabilization. This camera also supports video recording in 4K resolution. At the front is also available. Camera of 3.7 megapixel Despite the fact that Samsung has a new selfie-mode has been introduced to the unit, do not choose it for a 5-megapixel camera on the front, like many other manufacturers do. Finally, of course, the S-Pen is present, this stylus has also been improved and is now twice as pressure sensitive as the stylus of the Note 3.

The battery life of the Galaxy Note 4 7.5 percent improved over of the Galaxy 3, despite the addition of a screen with a higher resolution. The battery capacity is approximately unchanged, the battery in the Galaxy Note 4 with 3220 mAh only 20 mAh larger. Quick Charge Samsung has also added, so you can recharge in 30 minutes. Note 4 to 50 percent

It is clear that Samsung is on a lot of parts has made improvements and the Galaxy Note 4 is a real step forward compared to the Galaxy Note 3 In addition, the device will probably be in the benchmarks go sweep the floor with other devices. For this, however, we will have to wait. The review Besides all the hardware innovations Samsung has also added the necessary software innovations.


example, the ability to multitask in the Galaxy Note 4 again extended and improved. Before multitasking was not really easy, you had to do in my opinion too many actions to use. Two apps on the same screen Since Samsung has finally thought better about it. You can now create a smaller app through one sweeping motion and levitate. Also, you can access by using an additional button in the mulitaskscherm an app in splitscreen. Samsung has these features really made a lot simpler, the company now only needs the users are equally well informed about how to use these features. Fair is fair, to date, the multi-window and multi-task never really broken through on Android phones from Samsung, with the introduction of these new methods could well be set to change. However, it remains dependent on the support from developers.
Addition again kudos to Samsung that they have stopped preinstall a truckload apps, because the Galaxy Note 4, the number of apps has been very limited. Via Galaxy Apps, the application store from Samsung, you can still install the necessary apps and in some cases you can install apps for free while they normally cost money. What extras Samsung just going to offer the Galaxy Note 4 is not yet published, in any case, the usual 50GB Dropbox for a period of two years, provided that the company offers to any high-end device.

Samsung will Galaxy Note 4 bring in gold, pink, white and black on the market for a retail price of 799 euros. That’s a high price, so people this unit will likely decrease in combination with a subscription faster. Meanwhile quite some shops offer the device already for 749 euro
