When three years ago showed the first Samsung Galaxy Note at IFA 2011, a device with a 5.3-inch screen and stylus seemed absurdly gigantic. But the idea was to the liking of consumers, and after a short time each brand began to offer such huge smartphones.
Galaxy Note 4, just born in the fourth generation, continues to improve in all areas of hardware and software. Modernization took place and design.
When it comes to the appearance of Korean mobile products, Samsung is trying to put it on a wide range of products, thereby placing them as it were in the same plane. Straight from the tin Galaxy Alpha spoke on the new design language, and it also had to learn the Galaxy Note 4. aluminum frame housing, beveled edge hits the front and rear, removable back cover of polycarbonate plastic under the skin, without the fake joints – are all present. Of course, we could move to an all-metal layout, but Seoul decides on its own. In any case, the new product has an aesthetically pleasing, with a touch expensive.
Galaxy Note 4 in comparison with the same 5.7-inch Galaxy Note 3 was slightly longer and thicker, but slightly narrower: 153,5 × 78,6 × 8 , 5 against 151,2 × 79,2 × 8,3 mm and 176 against 168, the can not say that this is bad: to build a screen diagonal makes no sense, but reduce the size would not hurt – the smaller the device, the more convenient for them to use .
Sorry, isolated from dust and water is not provided.
Galaxy Note 4, as already noted, has retained a 5.7-inch screen diagonal Super AMOLED-panel, but moved into the arms of the matrix with Quad HD resolution capacity of 2560 1440 pixels, and the resultant packing density of 515 dots per inch. Protective glass Corning Gorilla Glass 3.
It is clear, 2K-resolution screen with a relatively modest area – definitely, a marketing gimmick, born out of the desire of manufacturers to somehow energize the consumer interest in the smartphone market tends to full saturation. Yes, the picture comes out a lot more clearly, but this is the beauty of the naked eye, the microscope can hardly notice it. That is a tribute to the fashion industry. Well, if Quad HD-panel will not eat up too much energy.
Display, by the way, is claimed to be two-and-a-half-dimensional, ie, it is not flat, and quite a bit curving inward toward the edges in order to swipe gestures occurred more smoothly and have not met with glass ends abruptly. This feature debuted in the Nokia N9.
Galaxy Note 4 has been prepared in two processor options – depending on sales territory. One model, designed for the USA, China, Japan and Korea, is built around a 32-bit Quad 2.7 GHz Qualcomm APQ8084 Snapdragon chip 805 with video graphics Adreno 420, the second focused on the rest of the world, including Europe, based on the 64 bit, eight Samsung Exynos 5433 chipset with video graphics Mali-T760, composed of four 1.9 GHz cores ARM Cortex-A57 and four 1.3 GHz cores Cortex-A53. In any case the RAM LPDDR3e-memory is 3 GB.
Preliminary tests with synthetic benchmarks the performance show that Exynos 5433 is chosen close to invincible until Nvidia Tegra K1, easily outpacing Snapdragon 805. This is true both in the computing part of a general nature and videographic data processing. 64-bit instructions ARMv8 organically fit into the 64-bit environment Android 5.0 Lemon Meringue Pie.
Galaxy Note 4 has a 32 GB flash drive, which can always be expanded by microSDXC-card slots for a maximum of 128 GB .
Subsystem photo – Movie and passed a series of serious and demanded improvements. Rear camera revealed the same as in the Galaxy S5, 16-megapixel sensor Sony IMX240, but this time backed up by the so-called intelligent image stabilization, which in the name of speed combines optical image stabilization digitally. Recall: optical image stabilization eliminates photos by vagueness, allows to obtain high-quality images in low light, making smoother visuals.
Video recording can be conducted in the following formats 2160p @ 30, 1080p @ 60 and 720p @ 120.
The front camera has caught a 3.7-megapixel sensor with a wide aperture F / 1.9. Viewing angle of 90 degrees easily expandable to 120 degrees: for this camera takes three shots in a row, and then “stitch” them into the likeness of a panoramic photo. Funny trick: if you need to make the self, quite put my finger on the lens rear camera, and then remove it from there. For avtofotografirovaniya rear camera is necessary to put a finger on the heart rate transmitter.
In addition to the usual accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, barometer and the Proximity Sensor Galaxy Note 4 inherited debuted in the Galaxy S5 integrated into the “Home” fingerprint scanner and routed to the rear of the heart rate transmitter . Added a very interesting sensor is responsible for measuring the intensity of ultraviolet radiation – read, aggressiveness sun with subsequent recommendations S Health to stay under him. Appeared as sensor power of blood oxygen saturation: the estimate ability of hemoglobin to transport oxygen throughout the body.
High-speed 4G-communications has become even faster thanks to the support protocol LTE Category 6, in theory providing a 300-Mbit / s data transmission on the downlink. Note that this is true for Snapdragon-edition number – in the Exynos-variant relationship remained at LTE Category 4.
From other wireless communications: 3G HSPA +, A-GPS + GLONASS + Beidou + QZSS, NFC, Wi-Fi 802.11a / b / g / n / ac + Wi-Fi Direct + DLNA, Bluetooth 4.1, FM-radio, infrared transceiver.
If last year’s Galaxy Note 3 came with ugly microUSB port 3.0 set for illusory benefits of high-speed exchange with peripherals, Galaxy Note 4 returned to the standard microUSB 2.0 (MHL 3.0). Yes, the speed of data transfer between the phone and the computer has decreased, but the aesthetics above all else.
In the Galaxy Note 4 installed three microphones that are required for the absorption of noise in time to capture sound. The smartphone can automatically adjust the volume record, adjusting it according to the ambient noise. Recorder allows you to specify up to all eight directions, which should be read with the voice, if you want, for example, to record only the voice of the interviewee, no problem.
Battery capacity added slightly, rising from 3200 to 3220 mAh. The Korean company argues that even without looking at the Quad HD-screen autonomy Galaxy Note 4 to 7% longer runtime Galaxy Note 3 times: thank you energy-efficient components.
embodied proprietary technology accelerated charge, however, it is compatible with the existing charge by type Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0. Recharge the battery half take no more than 30 minutes. However, fast charging, which is claimed only in cases of emergency, as yet reduces the lifetime of the battery can be disconnected.
Mobile operating system Google Android 4.4.4 KitKat enriched same proprietary user interface TouchWiz, which is deployed on Galaxy S5. But since we are talking about the representative of a family of Galaxy Note, added software suite that is responsible for interaction with a complete electronic pen S Pen, which is hidden inside the body.
By the way, the stylus has become easier and more perfect. S Pen twice raised the sensitivity to force touches to the screen, thus closer to the natural combination of pencil and paper: pen like understands when you write to them at an angle. The new regime calligraphy extract from this additional benefit.
As for the software items of particular interest is the function Snap Note: after you’ve photographed a handwritten note, it will be recognized and converted to a digital copy that can be easily edited.
Smart Select Mode allows you to select the stylus a lot of pictures in the gallery or set of lines of text without the need for a long time to hold your finger on the screen, followed by manual selection.
A new way to organize the floating windows applications and web pages through the movement of your finger to center of the screen from the upper right corner; then the window size can be changed, as well as to expand or collapse it to the entire display. It is easy to create a multi-window environment: should smash the windows on the top or bottom of the screen.
In general, the Galaxy Note 4 should be taken by development of Galaxy Note 3 or a big leap forward with respect to the Galaxy S5, and it is aimed at strengthening the position of Samsung, under the pressure strong competitors like LG G3.
Galaxy Note 4 to go on sale in October. Will be available four color options: white, black, gold and pink. Some of the colors, the type of black and gold go with another tint accent on the sides. Price of the product is likely to be no different from the price tag on the Galaxy Note 3.
