When Galaxy Note 4 comes out. Examples of photos on the front camera

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910C is an annual update to the Galaxy Note line of phablets. Despite the fact that the dimensions of the first Note caused many to laugh, over time, even Apple recognized the success of this format, releasing its 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is similar in appearance to the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, with a similar design, a metal frame, and a "bulging" camera lens.

In terms of smartphone capabilities, in our opinion, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is one of the best deals in its category. It has an excellent Quad HD display (2560 × 1440 pixels) of incredible clarity, one of the best cameras, enviable battery life (half a day of HD video in our tests), wide functionality, the boundaries of which are pushed apart with the S Pen stylus, powerful internals, a scanner fingerprints. All this makes the Galaxy Note 4 not just a smartphone, but a working machine for solving a wide range of tasks.

Whether you want to shoot author's video, cool panoramas or more than just passing shots, one of the best cameras is at your service. Thanks to the multi-window mode, you can, for example, watch movies and read mail at the same time. Show your friends videos or high-quality photos will allow wide viewing angles of a bright technological display. To watch Full HD video online, high-speed Wi-Fi and LTE Advanced are included. I wanted to play cool toys - the filling will allow.

Among the shortcomings of the Galaxy Note 4, we note that at the maximum resolution and at the highest settings, new games can slow down in some “heavy” scenes, after all, 3.7 million pixels on the screen make themselves felt. During our two-week test, the smartphone hung a couple of times. In addition, replacing micro-USB 3.0 with an older 2.0 looks like a small step back. Also, for such money, I would like to see protection against water and dust, because the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Samsung Galaxy S5 mini have it.

Summing up, let's say that if you want to get everything at once, then the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with wide functionality is for you. However, it is easy to get lost in a huge list of settings and functions, and a large number of pre-installed software can annoy many. If you are one of those who need a premium smartphone, where everything is simple and clear, then you can take the iPhone 6 Plus. Technologically, the iPhone 6 Plus smartphone is “simpler” in almost all respects, but faster, besides, it is thinner and has an aluminum case. If you are the owner of Samsung Galaxy Note 3, then do not rush to upgrade and switch to a more expensive “four”: the Full HD display is clear enough, and the filling will last at least another year, and there is also a stylus in the kit.

Dimensions and weight - 3.8

Phone Samsung Galaxy Note 4, like its predecessor, received a diagonal of 5.7 inches. We can say that, at least for now, the growth of diagonals has stopped, and what will happen next, we will see next year. Outwardly, the novelty resembled the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the Samsung Galaxy Alpha design model. It was on the Galaxy Alpha that the new processor, design and metal frame were “run in”, which are now in the service of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

What has changed since the Galaxy Note 3? The speaker above the Samsung inscription has become two holes shorter. The front panel feels somewhat reminiscent of the Apple iPhone 6 laminated display. There are horizontal lines along the plastic around the display. The back panel has remained “under the skin”, but now there is no row of quilted ties along the edges of the panel. The camera lens also protrudes from the case. Recall that on the Galaxy Note 3, the lens was visually combined with a common outline with a flash, and protruded together from the body. In the new model, they are “by themselves”, and the flash no longer “sticks out” from the case. The position of the speaker has also changed: it is not on the bottom end, like in the previous model, but on the back. As for the stylus, it remained at the bottom.

The metal frame that runs along the ends deserves special attention. In general, it is the same as that of the Samsung Galaxy Alpha: near the lower and upper ends it thickens a little on the sides of the smartphone, near the front and back panels the frame is cut off and barely noticeably rises above the front of the device.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is a large and heavy device. Its dimensions are 151 × 79 × 8.5 mm, and its weight is 176 grams, which is thicker and slightly heavier than the iPhone 6 Plus and Galaxy Note 3. smartphone chips, such as reducing the screen size and the presence of a side panel of keys. The build quality is on top - the smartphone is very durable, nothing bends or creaks. However, in the sample we bought for testing, the speaker holes on the front panel are crooked at the top - not all of them are on the same straight line. In principle, this is a trifle, but completely unexpected. Also note that the Galaxy Note 4 is not protected from water and dust.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is available in white, black, gold, and pink.

Screen - 4.9

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has a 5.7-inch display, and with its huge Quad HD resolution of 2560×1440 pixels, the PPI is off the charts - 515 ppi! Only LG G3 and Motorola DROID Turbo are higher, but this is due to the fact that they have smaller displays. In our opinion, such super-clearness is no longer needed and may adversely affect the autonomy of the device.

As is usually the case with the Galaxy Note line, the display uses a Super AMOLED-type organic light-emitting diode (LED) matrix. The display is covered with protective glass Gorilla Glass 3 – yes, it will collect fingerprints, but they can be easily wiped off. Thanks to Super AMOLED technology, the viewing angles are very wide. The maximum brightness of the display in our tests reached 415 cd / m2, given that this display does not need a separate backlight layer and the LEDs themselves glow in it, this is a high brightness, visually it is extremely bright. In the sun, the display remains legible and the display also has an automatic brightness adjustment function. The smartphone supports the operation mode with gloves. We tested it: the device responds even if the hands are wearing double-layer gloves, answering a call in the street in cold weather or scrolling through a couple of screens to read a book or an article is just right.

In addition, there are 4 different screen modes, as in many Samsung devices with this type of display: adaptive, AMOLED movie, AMOLED photo, and main. In addition to this, in the settings there is an opportunity to adjust the color rendering, however, we did not succeed: after passing the mini-test for matching the colors of the icons, the phone gave a message that everything was set up normally and there was no need to change anything.

Cameras - 4.9

According to our tests, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 camera is one of the best to date. Compared to its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4's cameras are noticeably "heavier" in megapixels. So, the main camera received 16 MP versus 13 on the Galaxy Note 3, and the rear – 3.7 versus 2 MP. Galaxy Note 4 uses the new ISOCELL technology, which forms barriers between pixels, allowing more photons to be captured per pixel.

The camera has a wide range of features: a large selection of effects ranging from fisheye to vintage and sepia, there is also dual LED backlighting, autofocus, several shooting modes and optical image stabilization. The camera takes panoramas, there is an HDR mode, face and smile detection, parallel shooting of photos and videos. We can say that there is almost everything, only virtual effects for entertainment are missing, as, for example, on the Sony Xperia Z3.

The maximum photo resolution is 5312×2988 pixels. The picture quality is excellent, especially in good light, in low light the camera, in our opinion, is a bit underpowered. The camera interface is simple and concise. In addition to the main camera, a 3.7-megapixel front camera is installed with the ability to automatically shoot when a smile is recognized on the face, you can also shoot panoramic selfies. By the way, 3.7 MP in the resolution of the camera is not without reason - about as many pixels fit on the display of the device. When it comes to shooting video, the camera shoots video at 1440p, the resolution of its display. Such a resolution for the front camera is very unusual, as a rule, many smartphones are limited to Full HD video.

The main camera of the smartphone can shoot 4K video - 3840 × 2160 pixels at 30 fps. In her arsenal, slow motion with Full HD video at 60 fps. Slow motion video at 120 or 240 fps, like the Apple iPhone 6 Plus, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 does not. In the video settings, you can turn on video stabilization, there is also tracking autofocus, but if you move the phone sharply and start shooting objects close, the camera reconfigures to the desired distance for a rather long time. In general, the camera shoots photos and videos of excellent quality, but only in good lighting.

Working with text - 3.0

The standard keyboard in the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is comfortable, it has a function for entering text using strokes (Swype), as well as a separate row of keys for numbers above the main keyboard block. The disadvantage is the lack of markup of additional characters and, in our opinion, not the most convenient system for switching between languages ​​​​without a separate key - you have to hold down the space bar and swipe to the side. However, perhaps the most inconvenient thing is the absence of a comma on the “main” screen of the keyboard; in order to enter it, you need to call an additional menu, or hold down the dot key and select a comma in the pop-up menu. For lovers of "old times" you can choose a 3 by 4 keyboard (12 large icons), you can also set up hot keys - for example, you can enter a predefined phrase or word by holding down a certain number.

Internet - 3.0

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comes preinstalled with the standard Internet browser with the Magnifier function and Google Chrome with support for tab synchronization with the desktop version of the browser. Both browsers can scale the page to fit the text to a preselected size. Both do not have a separate reading mode for multiple page scaling. Chrome can offer traffic control and reduction through data compression. In the "native" browser, switching between tabs takes a long time due to the specific animation of the tab manager; in Google Chrome, this feature was not noticed.

Communications - 5.0

Smartphone Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is equipped with an excellent set of interfaces. The device is available: dual-band Wi-Fi, the ability to act as a Wi-Fi modem, support for high-speed standard 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.1 with low energy consumption and A2DP profile, A-GPS with support for GLONASS and the Chinese Beidou system, as well as an NFC chip and IR port. In Russia, the N910C model with an Exynos processor is still being distributed, it works in LTE networks, but at speeds up to 150 Mbps (LTE Cat 4), and the N910S model with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor is not yet sold in Russia, which is more advanced in terms of speed, and probably won't. It supports 4G, LTE Cat 6 at speeds up to 300Mbps.

Smartphone Samsung Galaxy Note 4 works with Micro-SIM cards and microSD cards up to 128 GB. Interestingly, the Galaxy Note 3 used a high-speed Micro-USB 3.0 connector, but here it has given way to micro-USB 2.0. Can this be considered a step backwards? It is possible, only if small, micro-USB 3.0 is not yet so widespread, and perhaps the manufacturer considered that such high transfer rates over a USB cable are not needed by a smartphone. Note that at the same time, the Galaxy Note 4 USB connector supports MHL for high-definition video transmission and USB-host for connecting peripheral devices to a smartphone.

As a result, the novelty has almost everything: high-speed Wi-Fi, LTE, the latest Bluetooth and even an infrared port with NFC. It's a little pity that the version with support for LTE Cat 6 is not shipped to Russia, and the USB connector has been "simplified" from version 3.0 to 2.0.

Multimedia - 4.6

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 audio player supports many formats and plays MP3, FLAC, WAV files and a number of less popular formats (eAAC+ and AC3). Included with the smartphone rely on good headphones with a spare seal. The built-in video player supports most popular video formats (MP4/DivX/XviD/WMV/H.264 codecs) and also works with external subtitles.

Battery - 4.4

The body of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is a little thicker, and the battery capacity is slightly larger - 3220 mAh versus 3200 mAh for Note 3. We tested the phone in our two standard tests - HD video at maximum brightness and listening to music in player mode - airplane mode ' and with headphones. The smartphone demonstrates excellent battery life. The device played HD-video at maximum brightness for almost 12.5 hours, about half a day, which is an hour longer than its predecessor. But in the mode of listening to music with the screen off, the device was discharged in 83 hours.

Separately, two battery saving modes can be mentioned at once - standard power saving with limited performance and background data and extreme with a transition to "grayscale". You will definitely have enough battery power for a working day, or maybe several - it all depends on the usage scenario. For example, in games, the battery sits down almost before our eyes. As for charging: from zero to 50% it happens very quickly, we did not manage to charge it in the promised half an hour, it took a little more time, but still fast enough. However, after reaching 50%, the charging process slows down. It took us 1 hour and 40 minutes to charge it from 0 to 100%.

Performance - 4.0

There are different versions of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, which differ in their filling. There is a modification of the N910S based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor with 4 Krait 450 cores operating at frequencies up to 2.7 GHz and an Adreno 420 graphics accelerator. Unfortunately, it is not sold in Russia. The N910C version is supplied to our country with an Exynos 5 Octa 5433 processor, an eight-core (four cores up to 1.9 GHz and four up to 1.3 GHz) and a Mali-T760 graphics accelerator. RAM on both models - 3 GB, built-in - 32 GB. The technical characteristics are impressive, besides, like on the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, the chipset is manufactured according to a new standard - the 20 nm process technology. In everyday use, the smartphone works quickly, although in our tests it “froze” a couple of times. As for games, excessive resolution does not play into the hands of the device, even in the Epic Citadel application it slows down in open spaces at very high settings, fps drops to 20 frames per second, which is visible to the eye, this is not expected from a device for such a price.

The device is suitable for most games, but excessively high resolution can play a cruel joke, given the more than 3.5 million pixels on the display. According to the results of our synthetic tests, the smartphone occupies a position worthy of a premium device. For example, in the AnTuTu benchmark, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 got 50056 points, a record, and in 3D Mark Ice Storm Unlimited it got 19754 points, slightly higher than, for example, the iPhone 6 Plus. The chipset used in the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is new and one of the most powerful chipset available today.

Memory - 4.5

The total amount of built-in memory in the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is limited to 32 GB, of which about 24.6 GB is available to the user. The smartphone has a slot for a microSD memory card, cards up to 128 GB are supported. It is also possible to "hot-swap" the memory card, without turning off the device - you just need to remove the cover of the device.

Peculiarities

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 did not receive a waterproof case, but it boasts a functional stylus. Perhaps this is the main feature of the model, and of the entire line. With it, you can not only write notes, type texts or draw, which already opens up wide opportunities for creativity, but also perform various commands, for example, quickly create a note, take screenshots and crop part of the image by placing a caption on it. There is also an instant view function: if you hover the tip of the stylus over the icon without touching it, you can view a preview of the picture, see contact information in the phone book, etc.

Android 5.0 Lollipop. The TouchWiz interface is traditionally used. At first, the smartphone is a little scary with the abundance of pre-installed software, and an inexperienced user can get lost in the settings, of which there are a lot. There are a lot of pre-installed applications, from a voice recorder and file manager to pre-installed WhatsApp and Facebook applications. In the proprietary shell, all applications have been redesigned and have an original look that has hardly changed for a long time. The dialer has Russian letters, which is convenient for finding the right contact.

A feature can also be called the presence of two power-saving modes, a number of settings for using the smartphone with one hand (reducing the screen size, the side panel of keys and adjusting the position of the keyboard, which, in our opinion, does not look very natural and not so convenient). As always, there are many features such as smart mute and gestures, smart notifications, flipping the smartphone, taking a screenshot with the palm of your hand, multi-window mode. For those who find all these settings and the home screen layout to be complicated and crowded, there is an option to enable "Easy Mode", which reduces the set of visible settings and icons. But first you need to find it too. And that's not all - there are accessibility features for people with low vision or hearing, such as flash notifications, voice passwords, and much more.

Summing up, we can say that the Galaxy Note 4 is “stuffed” with various functions and features, in our opinion, there is hardly anyone who will regularly use at least half of them, however, there is always an “easy mode” to choose from.

Competitors

Specifications Samsung Galaxy Note 4 on top. Competitors include the equally expensive iPhone 6 Plus and the slightly more budget-friendly new Huawei Ascend Mate 7. The price of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 as of November 2014 is 36,990 rubles (as is the recommended price for the 16 GB iPhone 6 Plus).

Apple iPhone 6 Plus - with a smaller diagonal (5.5 inches versus 5.7), it is slightly “higher” than Note 4, while it is thinner and made of aluminum, while Galaxy Note 4 has only a metal frame, the rest of the body is made of plastic, which is not in itself a disadvantage, but is considered "less prestigious". The display resolution of the Samsung smartphone is significantly higher (2560 × 1440 versus 1920 × 1080 for the iPhone 6 Plus), viewing angles are also wider, it has a stylus to work with the display, here the iPhone 6 Plus wins only with more accurate and natural color reproduction. In terms of performance, the Note 4 wins in benchmarks, and in everyday use, Apple's smartphone is faster. In terms of battery life, the Apple iPhone 6 Plus loses, its cameras are also somewhat “simpler”, albeit with video shooting at high speed, up to 240 frames per second. Both smartphones are not protected from water and have a fingerprint scanner. In terms of interfaces, Note 4 is a little more advanced, "fresh" Bluetooth, LTE Cat 6, which works at high speeds (albeit with a modification that is not yet sold in Russia) and an infrared port. Both models have NFC, but the Note 4 has it for sharing data with other devices and payments, while the iPhone 6 Plus only has its own Apple Pay payment system. The price of the Apple iPhone 6 Plus is from 36990 rubles and above.

The Huawei Ascend Mate 7 is a 6-inch aluminum phablet that is thinner than the Note 4, but larger and slightly heavier. The Ascend Mate 7 has a Full HD display with a lower pixel density, it also has a fingerprint scanner and an NFC chip, but it does not have an infrared port and high-speed Wi-Fi 802.11ac. Built-in memory - 16 GB or 32 GB in the "premium" modification, also among the pluses is a very capacious battery. For those who are not afraid to buy an expensive smartphone from Huawei and who do not need a stylus, this is a good alternative, although it has not appeared on the market yet, and it looks like it will cost a little less than the Note 4.

    1) The screen is just great. Auto-brightness works great - everything is visible in any light, and the charge is not wasted so much. Brightness is enough even in bright sunlight. 2) Design - looks quite stylish and strict (I have black color + Flip Wallet case). Finally added metal. Although the frame is nice 3) Speed ​​- everything flies, there are slowdowns, but very rare (you can even ignore it) 4) the TouchWiz shell is even nothing, it's my first time 5) S-pen stylus: quite a convenient thing, a lot of things functions, please all kinds of drawings. I often dabble in handwriting. And yes, the pen is quite improved compared to the 3rd raccoon (it responds to a light touch, while the 3rd raccoon had to be pressed hard) 6) A large number of various sensors is undoubtedly pleasing.

    A metal frame, nice weightiness that doesn’t let you slip out of your hands, a really good camera and all sorts of modes in it .. and post-processing of the photo .... a functional stylus is a necessary thing for me, an incomparable screen, text clarity, very smart, holds for a long time Battery .. etc. etc. .... In general, for 2 months of use, I have not yet found any complaints. A year later - too.!!! excellent multifunctional gadget, just a lifesaver. I haven’t seen the best yet, except maybe Galaxy Note 5, where the stylus pops up by pressing - a cool feature, because in Note 4 you pick it up with your fingernail to pull it out, but oh well, not for that kind of money ..... Photo, video - in compared with what friends or colleagues shoot - heaven and earth. The DSLR in my everyday life is no longer in demand .... The stylus is indispensable

    I changed my review to a 5. In shortcomings, at first she indicated that she did not pick up 4G after disconnecting from Wi-Fi. So: it turned out to be the case. I put my own back cover, everything instantly flew. Then just at the cover (s-view, book, with the replacement of the back cover) I wiped the contacts with a dry cloth)) - and again everything worked fine. I'm glad))

    - no radio ... well, how is it (
    UPD:
    - USB 2.0, although the previous version had USB 3.0
    - no camera launch by a separate button
    - I don’t like the default shell, I changed it to Go Louncher in it you can sort the programs according to their purpose and display more icons on the screen

    These are not even cons, but rather a kind of bewilderment that after so many brains invested in functionality, elementary little things for users are not thought out.
    - In Contacts, if the position or company name is too long, it does not fit on the screen. On this HUGE screen! In the iPhone, the company name is automatically highlighted in bold, and the position is transferred according to the words for as many lines as necessary - you open a contact and you can see everything at once!
    - When the screen is dimmed, before it is turned off, then if they touch the screen so that it does not go out, then the function that you accidentally press is activated. And I need something so that the screen does not go out! And in the iPhone, this is exactly how it is implemented - the screen is darkened, touched it, it is bright again and nothing starts from pressing.

    1) When the device is tilted more than 55-60 degrees, a purple tint appears (not strong, and you are unlikely to look at the screen at such an angle)
    2) The problem with the activation of the Navitel navigator (it is supposedly a gift for a year) UPD: the problem has been solved, everything is activated
    3) As I said, during the day the camera shoots perfectly, but in low light conditions there are small problems (when I shoot a video, it makes a little noise, then when viewing the noise is slightly removed, but still noticeable)
    4) Heart rate and oxygen saturation sensors are very sensitive - for a correct measurement, you need to sit still and not talk)
    5) A couple of problems with SHealth - the pedometer counts the steps correctly, but shows the result not after each step, but after 30-40 steps or after the screen is locked (i.e. 0

    They could make it waterproof - it would become just a bestseller, but I think this is such a marketing ploy so as not to collapse sales of S5 Well, the price, of course!
    A year later, the metal-like paint on the stylus was a little worn off - in the place where you cling to it with your fingernail to pull it out. they could have strengthened this place with metal. For that money, such trifles as elementary erasing of paint in the place of greatest friction should have been foreseen !!! At least follow. models took this flaw into account ...

Samsung Galaxy Note 4

Despite the fact that last year the Korean company Samsung pleased us with a new gadget called the Galaxy Note 8, people are still thinking about purchasing a powerful and inexpensive flagship of yesteryear. Today we will talk about the former flagship Samsung Galaxy Note 4, the release date of which is September 4, 2014. The manufacturer still does not change its tradition of producing flagship devices.

As everyone knows, the company has another flagship line of smartphones - the S-series. Its representatives usually come out at the MWC, which takes place every year at the end of February in the pleasant sunny city of Barcelona. But the Note line of phablets is usually replenished with new devices at the German IFA event, which takes place in early September. Just Samsung Galaxy Note 4 was released at this mobile conference.

Is it possible to buy this phablet at the moment, or have former gadgets and premium smartphones from Koreans lost their relevance a long time ago? Today's full and high-quality review will show this.

Completion and packaging

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Package Contents

The flagship device is delivered in an ordinary light brown box. On the front panel you can see the inscription Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and at the bottom are the full characteristics of the gadget. Printing of all pictures and inscriptions can be called high-quality. All accessories in the box are pasted over with branded films from Samsung. The smartphone is traditionally also covered with a film with some specifications and a thread stitching pattern - a hint of leather, since the back panel is made in just such a texture.

What is inside the package? The complete set consists of:

  • smartphone
  • a charger with an output current of 2 A and support for fast charging;
  • microUSB 2.0 cable;
  • additional nozzles for a smart stylus, as well as a device for installing or removing them;
  • battery, which is located in a separate bag;
  • complete headset with a microphone in white;
  • documents: instructions describing how to use the gadget, and full characteristics; warranty card for a specific region where the device was purchased.

The package bundle of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is far from poor, which is good.

note

A bit poor flagship choice in terms of color solutions. There are only four of them: pink, black, white and gold.

Appearance and design

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is one of the most beautiful devices from the company. It can be seen that the company's engineers tried their best on the design. As mentioned, the Galaxy Note 4 can be found on the market in four colors: pink, white, black and gold. In all of them, the front panel is painted to match the color of the back cover and ribs. In the photos you can see the flagship phablet in all available colors.

The back of the smartphone

The back cover is plastic and has an interesting texture for the skin type. If we draw parallels between the design of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Note 4, then in the second there are much more changes than it might seem at first glance. Firstly, the flagship is no longer as “leather” as its predecessor, because the sewing line has disappeared on the back panel. But it is on the shipping film, which can be found after the purchase and the first opening of the box with the device.

In front around the display, you can also notice an interesting pattern in the form of numerous stripes. But the device looks really stylish. First impressions after opening the package are indescribable. You can immediately see that you are holding a flagship device from Samsung in your hands, and not from some kind of “basement China”. On the back panel in the center are the main camera, LED flash, heart rate sensor, Samsung logo, and in the lower left corner there is a small notch and a perforation zone for the main speaker.

On the front there is a 5.7 ″ display, the second Samsung logo, proximity and light sensors, a front camera, two backlit touch buttons and a mechanical Home button that can perform a function - a very convenient location, but it’s a pity that now it’s a frameless replacement The Korean manufacturer installs a fingerprint scanner on the back.

The front of a smartphone with different sensors

On the right edge are the volume buttons, and on the left you can find the only Galaxy Note 4 power button. The micro-USB version 2.0 charging connector lives on the bottom (we'll talk about it a little later), two microphones and a smart stylus S Pen. Above you can find another noise-canceling microphone, an infrared port for controlling household appliances and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. As you can see, the smartphone hides a lot of interesting features that are hard to find now. For example, two microphones on the bottom panel or the main speaker on the back of the device.

The cover in Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is removable. The battery is installed under it. It can be replaced at any time if it swells or loses capacity. It is made in an unusual metallic color for the devices of the Korean company. You can also find slots for a microSD memory card and a Micro SIM card.

It's important to know

The manufacturer decided not to limit the user in the possibilities of mobile communication and did not add a separate combined tray to its flagship.

The back panel and the inside of the body of the device are made of polycarbonate or plastic. There are elements of copper inserts for mobile antennas: GPS and WLAN, but the frame is made of metal. No, this is not aluminum that is familiar to everyone, but a magnesium alloy, due to which the weight of the device is rather big - 176 grams. This is quite a lot for such dimensions. The dimensions of the smartphone are: 153.5x78.6x8.5 mm. The thickness of the device is huge at the moment. This is not surprising, since according to tradition, Samsung failed to fit the micro-USB cable and headphone jack into the case, which is why they had to make ugly convex fragments on the back.

The charging port and stylus are located on the bottom edge.

On the ends you can see beautiful chamfered. The display matrix is ​​covered with a third-generation rounded protective glass Corning Gorilla Glass. In general, the case does not creak even with a soft plastic back cover. The buttons are pressed well, do not play and do not go deep into the body of the device. However, there are small gaps between the frame and the front panel, which will not greatly affect the overall operation of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

Display

The screen is the most important part of the Galaxy Note 4. It has a diagonal of 5.7 inches and a resolution of 2K or Quad HD, which is 2560x1440 pixels. The dot density is 551 ppi, which is good, since the greater the pixel density, the less likely it is that they will be visible to the naked eye. using PenTile subpixels.

note

The sensor is responsive and supports up to ten simultaneous finger touches. This means that you can play games like World of Tanks: Blitz, Need for Speed: No Limits, Asphalt 8 comfortably, without any twitching or false touches.

Display diagonal 5.7 inches and resolution 2K

In general, the screen is of high quality. With this resolution, individual pixels are not visible, the picture is juicy, but for some people the AMOLED display may seem very oversaturated, since 4 green, 2 red and 2 blue subpixels were used in its development, which is why the picture in certain situations gives or very warm shades, or very cold, especially when strongly deviated from the user's eyes. Otherwise, viewing angles are excellent.

The frame around the display is insignificant and has a thickness of only 3 mm. The maximum and minimum brightness thresholds are excellent. I was especially pleased with the latter - the brightness at the very minimum showed 2 cd / m2. Black is really black. It is the depth of black that Super AMOLED panels are famous for, which are now equipped with Always-on-display support and do not use battery power so much.

Will be useful

To reduce saturation and bring the color of the display back to normal, you can use the preset modes: AMOLED Movie, Adaptive Display and AMOLED Photo.

Of the other pluses, we note good screen protection and an oleophobic coating applied, which allows you to quickly wipe your fingerprints from the glass. Also, the front panel is polished independently if the device is in a pants or jacket pocket.

Software

The device is running Android 4.4.4 KitKat operating system. Naturally, this is not. The company has preinstalled its proprietary custom shell called TouchWiz. She began to acquire her usual appearance only with the release of the Samsung Galaxy S5, but in Note 4 she has changed significantly. First, there appeared a huge number of applications to work with smart stylus and heart rate sensor. Secondly, when the S Pen is removed, a notification will be sent to the smartphone and pen mode will be activated.

Do not focus on the system interface, because it is standard. Let's talk about applications. Of the coolest programs, it is worth noting the service for creating notes using the S Pen stylus - S Note. It has become smarter. It also lets you write, draw, and do other things with the smart pen. But there is also the Snap Note feature, which can convert written text or drawing from real paper into a note on your smartphone. You take a picture of something and on your Galaxy Note 4 you can fix it - very convenient.

Using the pen, you can take screenshots of various areas of the screen, cut them out and immediately send them to social networks. networks or your friends. To do this, there is a special touch assistant or "Context commands". Thanks to a special application for drawing, you can be creative wherever you are.

note

The smart stylus supports 2048 levels of pressure, which makes the pen more sensitive and gradually turns into a real pen. For comparison, the stylus in the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 supports 4096 gradations.

On the back panel there is a heart rate sensor. To make it work, you need to use the built-in S Health app. You don't need to talk or move to measure your heart rate in real time. It measures with a slight deviation from the truth, but it works correctly, quickly and is highlighted during operation. No need to lean the phone against your wrist - just put your finger on the area under the main camera.

Sound

There is only one multimedia speaker on the rear panel. It sounds normal and is not famous for anything supernatural. There are no wheezing even at maximum volume. It's loud, there's a bit of bass that doesn't drown out all the other sounds of the track. There is only one minus - the perforation zone is very easy to close with your fingers or the horizontal plane of the table, because of which the sound is distorted. The speaker in the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is also on top.

There is only one multimedia speaker on the rear panel

It is worth talking about microphones, because there are three of them. This solution improves not only the noise reduction system, but also the quality of the captured sound.

Will be useful

The Recorder app has two modes: Interview and Meeting. In the first mode, two microphones on the bottom edge are involved at once, and in the second, the phone can capture up to 8 sources at once. This mode is suitable for meetings at the "round" table or during other events.

Performance

If you look at the description of the characteristics on the manufacturer's website, you can find that for the US market, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is sold with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor on board. We do not live in the USA, so on the shelves you can find this phablet with an eight-core single-chip Samsung Exynos Octa 5 5433 system. Its first four Cortex-A57 cores operate at a clock frequency of 1.9 GHz, and the second four Cortex-A53 cores work with frequency of 1.3 GHz.

Samsung Exynos Octa 5 5433

The video accelerator from the Mali company - T760, which at the time of the release of the smartphone was one of the fastest and best in the mobile industry, is responsible for the gaming capabilities of the device. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is only available with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage. Fortunately, the second storage can be expanded with additional memory cards up to 128 GB.

In Antutu Benchmark, the device scores almost 50,000 points and is the most powerful smartphone on the market according to this application. It outperforms the flagship from the S line called the Galaxy S5, as well as the flagship from HTC - One M8t. Recall that in Antutu Benchmark showed only 34714 "parrots".

note

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 can handle complex games with ease on medium to medium-high graphics. On it you can play WoT: Blitz, various graphically complex racing and sports simulators, as well as casual games or puzzles.

Hidden on the rear panel in a square area is a 16 MP main camera with phase detection autofocus and optical stabilization.

Hidden on the rear panel in a square area is a 16 MP main camera with phase detection autofocus and optical stabilization. At night, you can shoot with the flash turned on - for the benefit, two LEDs are bright and can also act as a regular flashlight. There is support for the HDR function, which is able to correct the incorrect color reproduction of the captured object and give it more colors, as well as correct the dynamic range of the photo.

At the time of the fall of 2014, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 shot better than any flagship device on the market. With good lighting, bright and juicy photos are obtained without artifacts or noise. There is no “soap”, and if the pictures are dull, then in the “Camera” application you can adjust various points related to adjusting color, contrast, color temperature, ISO values ​​​​and much more. Also, HDR mode will help in adding brightness to the dark areas of the picture.

The device works on a single charge for a long time, but the battery life has not changed in any way compared to the Galaxy Note 3, so if you think that buying the fourth generation of the flagship from Samsung, you will win in autonomy, then you are wrong - there are no changes. The battery is charged up to 50% using a fast charger in 30-40 minutes - fast as for a 2A charger.

Will be useful

If you are in the forest, mountains or places where there are no outlets, then the “grandmother's” mode or the full power saving mode will significantly save battery power. Samsung Galaxy Note 4 at the same time turns into a toy with a black and white screen, where you can access the Internet over a 2G network, write SMS or call.
