Samsung Galaxy Note 4: Measure the sun – IT World

Samsung Galaxy Note 4: Measure the sun

| 21.01.2015

The next device in line Galaxy Note equipped with QHD-screen – a first for its class – UV sensor. It’s time to find out how much we need the sun to be happy.

About bundled keep silence: a smartphone got me to the test, even without the charger (saved universal power adapter with output micro USB). Design features of note slot corporate pen S Pen (about it later) on the bottom, along with a pair of microphones, as well as the fact that the sim card and memory card installed under cover.

When we first met new (given its price and positioning) is not caught. Since the turn of journalists to test the unit, I was not the first, the case here and there, “decorated” scratches and abrasions. Nachudil manufacturer itself: on the front of the gap, and the main chamber is above the rear wall of which are already visible traces of use. The body is made of plastic and polikarbornata and rear panel – from soft-touch material. Special glass screen is protected.

But it is necessary to include the device – and the mood is changing: high resolution, natural colors, wide viewing angles. Plus accurate and precise sensor for recognizing as many as 10 touches. TouchWiz is fast, does not slow down and does not fall into a reverie. Powered honest mnogokonny mode, only it is not always convenient. Brand Pen improved, in particular, increased sensitivity – to use with hands.

Performance redundant, because inside rumbles eight-engine paired with a very powerful for its class video accelerator and 3 GB of RAM. Games, recording / playback of 4K-video – all nothing to him. The test result AnTuTu, as they say, no comment. Under load the body barely heated. However, glitches occur as a spontaneous reboot (blame in this particular instance, apparently, the last fire, water and copper pipes).

The module cellular weak – a maximum of divisions indicator only on holidays, conversation happens breaks. Moreover, the operator is independent. Unlike him fast and stable Wi-Fi. Another strange decision – the use of outdated USB 2.0.

audio part, as usual, on horseback and sometimes indulges through multimedia speaker and headphone output clicks are heard (most likely, again, the lack of an instance). Supply of small volume.

The same UV sensor is part of a corporate application S Health, helping to monitor the training regimen. Sense particular little more useful pedometer and heart rate meter. Any questions and fingerprint scanners – works through time.

High Resolution Camera with optical stabilization. However, from her little depends – in poor conditions for taking the picture remains lubricated. And noticeable compression artifacts. Denoising non-aggressive. In general, the camera is no better than their classmates. But that was pleasant – the ability to record an honest 4K-video. High-detail, true colors. Minute video in the highest quality is about 350 MB.

Developer boasts fast charging technology, they say, to fill the battery requires no more than half an hour. The idea, of course, useful … for those in a hurry. However, despite the relatively decent power supply capacity, the smartphone runs no longer than colleagues who have weaker battery. But the regime maximum energy savings worth praise – a very practical thing, if you want to stay connected, multimedia sacrificing the beauty.

Galaxy Note 4 successfully develops its line. Here are just some innovations as otherwise useless can not be called (I’m talking about the above-mentioned sensors), and in light of recent developments in the economy who want to buy a novelty hardly threatens to stand in line. In my opinion, the most suitable machine for creative people and bloggers.
