Note 4 Features: Galaxy Phablet Specs Before Release Date
There has already been an official
announcement from Samsung regarding the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 – one of
the phablets from Samsung which has become the focus of the gadget
fanatics today.
Note 4’s Display
Just like what predictions said, Samsung
Galaxy Note 4 uses a display size of 5.7 inches, as well as an AMOLED
display with QHD resolution. This only means that it has 2,560 x 1440
pixels, matching the LG G3 smartphone’s resolution and making it the
highest resolution used by Samsung today. It really uses a one-of-a-kind
display, displaying vibrant colors, amazing viewing angles, deep
blacks, as well as incredible detail. It appears brighter compared to
Samsung Galaxy S5.
Samsung has already made use of its 2.5D
glass for the front portion of this handset, along with its corners and
edges that are rounded. This aims to trick the eyes of its user into
thinking that whatever is on the screen appears closer. It is, indeed, a
very interesting effect which is really effective – something that has
never been seen from other smartphones before.
The Comparison
Though it is using a similar screen size
as the Note 3, Note 4 really stands out due to the metal frame that it
has. It is also inspired by the Galaxy Alpha which has metal surrounding
its front glass entirely and it comes with a rear cover made of faux
leather. It really gives the device appear rigid and strong and it makes
it look like a premium handset. It also comes with premium features
coming from the Samsung Galaxy S5, just like the fingerprint sensor
which has been placed into its home button, as well as the monitor for
heart rate on its back portion.
If you are used to using handsets that
are large, the Samsung Galaxy Note4 is not going to feel weird in your
hands. It has frame edges that are curved, thin chassis, as well as a
rounded glass which will make you concentrate on using your phone, not
on thinking whether or not you can hold the phone and drop it.
Though the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is
using similar dimensions as Galaxy Note 3, Samsung still was not able to
find some room for a battery that is bigger. It comes with a 3220 mAh
cell that can be removed. It also allows you to charge it faster, which
means that you may gain 50% in just 3o minutes – something that you will
enjoy, especially if you are always rushing. It is also interesting to
know that Samsung used their standard connection which is MicroUSB,
instead of their USB3 port that they used on the Samsung Galaxy S5 and
Note 3. This only suggests that users were not really looking at the
advantages of transfer speeds that are quicker.
More Improvements
Samsung has also made improvements when
it comes to their back and front cameras, as compared to the Note 3. Its
rear camera has a 16MP sensor – something which was last seen in the
Samsung Galaxy S5. With Note 4, too, there have been upgrades with the
stabilization of its optical image, making the camera shake reduced and
making the user enjoy photos that are free from blurs.
Camera Features
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4’s front-facing
camera is using a 3.7MP sensor, along with an aperture that is f/1.9,
which means it can capture 60% more light when compared to its previous
version. It also has a field of view of 90 degrees, which is also around
20 degrees wider when compared to Note 3. People should also never miss
the chance to put additional software features, since Samsung has
already added their Wide Selfie mode to capture in just one image up to
120 degrees. This can be done by tilting the person’s phone to the right
and left, helping you capture you and your friends in just one go.
In addition, Samsung also got to tweak
its user interface, Touchwize, again for its Galaxy Note 4, bringing
upgrades on its UI elements, text and icons for the support of a screen
with a higher resolution, borrowing several ideas on design from Google.
The window for Recent Apps are also arranged in a tile stack, like
Android L, though there exists an icon next to the compatible tiles
which brings you directly into the mode for Multi Window.
The Exciting S Pen
Obviously, Note 4 also comes with the S
Pen stylus of Samsung, as well as the software for S Note, which have
both applied 2014 upgrades. The said pen also is made using new and
grippier materials which may now support up to a pressure sensitivity of
up to 2048 levels. This paved the way for fountain pen and calligraphy –
two new effects for the brush and just like what their names say, they
can mimic their equivalents in the real world. The S Pen is also very
comfortable to write with and to hold, though you are just making
precise sketches or writing down fast notes.
The Smart Select feature has also been
added into the menu for air command. This allows the user to select and
save multiple objects independently, as well as import them altogether
into just the significant application. Pulling down coming from the
device’s top right portion of its screen turns the open app
automatically into the floating one, which can be displayed on top of
the other applications. Also, you may already use the said pen just like
how you use the PC mouse, by dragging and clicking to select just
anything that you can see on your screen and have them save into your
scrapbook. Among all of the new additions, Snap Note can be seen as the
most impressive one, which capture an image of writing, then turns it
into an object that can be edited. Also, it may capture at an angle and
make the image flattened, with each line that is available for
independent editing.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 also includes so many premium and free apps, due to the Galaxy Gifts promotion of Samsung.
Note 4 Release Date
Release date of Galaxy Note 4 is possibly October 14. But reports suggests this could happen as early as October 3. Verizon
has revealed that they have already started taking pre-orders for the
Note 4 phablet. On contract the Note 4 is priced at $299 on Verizon.
Sprint
has announced that they are charging $0 down payment and a $30/monthly
for a 2 year contract. In fact Note 4 has been released in some of the
Asian markets and managed to beat the release date of iPhone 6 from
Apple. Whether Apple sales record for iPhone 6 will be beaten is yet to
be seen by Note 4.....
