However, there’s no denying the Note 4’s excellent build quality. Rather than take its design cues from the Galaxy S5, the Note 4 is essentially a giant Galaxy Alpha, borrowing the metal trim from its smaller cousin. It’s a massive improvement over the plastic phones from Samsung’s past, and helps make it feel much more rigid, without dramatically affecting the weight of the phone. From an oddball that everyone was laughing at to becoming one of the most important Samsung announcements of the year - the Note series got to a place where now everyone else wants to be in too, including Apple. Samsung isn't in too big a trouble just yet, but profits just can't keep climbing forever and the company needs the Galaxy Note 4 to become a success in a way the Galaxy S5 couldn't. However, some Samsung Smart Screen and air gesture control functionality which was present on the Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Alpha, including Air Browse, Smart Pause, Smart Scroll and Air Call Accept, has been removed.

Like the predecessors, the Note 4 also includes a stylus pen, branded S-Pen, incorporated into the design. Samsung touted new S-Pen features including tilt and rotation recognition [8] but these features were either not implemented or not supported. [9] Samsung's switch from plastic to metal for its primary smartphone build material has been a long time coming. Although the Galaxy Alpha — which has nearly identical design and materials — may have spoiled the surprise for some by being released first, the Galaxy Note 4 will likely be the first time regular consumers get their hands on a metal phone from Samsung. Buy the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, which not just has pleasant looks but is also equipped with striking features. The mobile phone was launched in India on October 21, 2014 (Official) at a starting price of Rs 60,693. The main (rear-facing) camera is a 16 Megapixel (5312×2988) autofocus camera with 16:9 aspect ratio image sensor (Sony Exmor RS IMX240), [33] featuring Smart OIS (Optical Image Stabilization + software image stabilization), being the first mobile phone of the Samsung Galaxy Note series and the first original variant Samsung flagship phone to feature an optically stabilized rear camera.In Europe, the successor to the Note 4 is the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, as the Note 5 was never released in that region, [48] and the Note 7 was withdrawn from sales due to battery hazard.

Sadly, the "reduce screen size" mode is actually a life saver for using the Note 4 in one hand on a regular basis. I say "sadly" because you're putting to waste over half of that brilliant 2560x1440 display to use your gigantic phone in one hand and not drop it on the sidewalk while sending a text message. But without one-handed operation features enabled, the Note 4 is entirely a two-handed device. If you want to play with a large device, you're going to have to deal with semi-awkward software features that helps you forget the physical size sometimes. The S Pen potentially is the area that has seen the least amount of change, and that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Samsung's don't-call-it-a-mere-stylus has always been great, and now just like many other areas of the Note 4 it has been notably — but not substantially — improved. With the wireless charging rear cover accessory, which exists in both a plain rear cover form factor and an S View flip cover (or S Charger View) form factor, the battery can be charged wirelessly using Qi technology.

Retrieved 2022-07-01.On an extremely heavy usage day with multiple hours of podcast listening, mobile hotspot use to my laptop, over four hours of screen on time and flying for two hours (with the phone on in-flight Wifi) I had the Note 4 tapping out after eight hours away from the charger. That's pretty admirable for the heaviest use scenario I could put it through, and usage that has had many of my past phones dead hours earlier. The Note 4 features a USB 2.0 charging port instead of USB 3.0 (as was in the Note 3 and S5), in favor of a new feature called Fast Charge [ citation needed], which Samsung claims can charge the phone from 0% to 50% in about 30 minutes and from 0% to 100% in less than 100 minutes. If you're in the market for a supersized smartphone you're not going to do much better than the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Samsung Galaxy Note 4 was released around the start of October 2014 and was available in most major markets by the middle of October. The first regions to receive the device were South Korea and China where it gained huge popularity. In the first month only, the Galaxy Note 4 reportedly sold 4.5 million units, which is a little less than its predecessor, the Galaxy Note 3, which was able to report 5 million sales in the first month after release. [36] [37] Samsung says that sales of the Note 4 were lower than those of the Note 3 at launch because the Note 4 was initially unavailable in some major international markets due to manufacturing issues, delaying release until early November in markets including the United Kingdom and India. The case of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is now a bit thinner but also a bit longer in return. Despite the large 5.7-inch screen, the device feels good in the hand and is not too heavy with 176 grams. The slightly higher weight compared to the Note 3 (168 grams) is probably a result of the metal frame. However, the latter improves the quality impression of the smartphone significantly, so we have no problems with a couple of grams more.
