Samsung Galaxy Note 4 First Look review

Info : Samsung Galaxy Note 4 First Look
you could basically call this an improvement on the previous now in every
way
hey it's Josh regard from Android authority and this is your first look at
the Samsung Galaxy Note 4
as always we're going to start up with the design and yes you can
finally rejoice that the Galaxy line now is including metal in their designs
you really do have to feel this to believe that as the flat sides with this
metal frame really make this feel like a great device in the hand
especially over the original note 3 which we thought was a pretty good
designed to begin with
you can see here the nettle on the sides and we also have quite a bit on the top
and bottom

where all of the different ports are going to be held it is
essentially the same design as you remember from before except this medal
from really enhances the feel
but on the back you still get that full leather that has that texted feel to end
us feel pretty comfortable in the hand still
the obvious improvement when it comes to the display is in regards to the
resolution you now get quite HD resolution in this 5.7 inch screen

which allows you to really enjoy a lot of media as you can see in this video
right here which looks very vibrant because I that's two Bramlett display
and on top of all that you also get a pixel density of over 500 pixels per
inch which makes for a great experience when it comes to text
in the short time we've already had to play with the Galaxy Note 4 we really
enjoyed what we were seeing when it came to this display
performance continues to get the needed boost as this year you'll still be able
to get this version of the note
with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 or the Exynos that they will have another
versions on the phone
for the performance is still as great as it can be especially with all that this
phone can do

speaking at the hardware we do get in extra microphone on this phone this time
with 21 the bottom in one on the television seeing right now
what this allows is for selective recording where you will be able to put
the phone down and it will be able to detect
voices and sound %uh eight different directions in order for you to turn off
or turn on various voices

you can see the extra mic here right now but also we have that USB port on the
bottom and we do have something to say about the fast charging that something
is apparently introduced here
while we weren't able to really test it ourselves apparently it will get up to
half a charge

in 30 minutes which were super excited to test out and then we move on to the
cameras which have their own improvements as well as a 16 megapixel
resolution on the rear facing camera but now also cause a smart oh I S
another article initialization issues from love your smartphone
photographers out there but the front-facing camera has also been bumped
up to 3.7 megapixels and an ass

1.9 aperture to really make the soccer game
a lot better for all of you what you're seeing here is a 120 degree
our sake mode which allows you to use a panorama mode to get everyone in your
shot
so you'll be able to get the best self is a you can possibly get and finally in
software we will obviously do a focus on the Aspen in a little bit but we did
want to say that touch was continue to do what improvements

despite looking pretty much the way that we would expect it to multitasking has
been given a big focus here as the reason abs been right here has been
enhanced now to be able to
allow you activation love multi-window straight from it as you can see here I'm
activating these two different applications gallery and Facebook
but I'm also being able to create offloading Facebook here
on the fly just by holding the dot in the middle you will see that
multitasking has
really become a bitch streamlined because you can go in between all these
different modes

especially on the fly even with caps like the camera and the app list for
multi window and floating abt has been expanded somewhat to allow you to be
able to use a lot of different applications at once in any way way or
fashion that you choose
but of course I want to be a no device without the S Pen as far as the actual
Penn
itself goes it has been given a bit of a thinner profile but also some texture on
it but is largely the same pen that you remember from the note 3 was an
had functionality we do still have the air command menu but has been changed
somewhat a little bit of start off with the

action memo which allows you to take note on-the-fly already
and after that you can manipulate p text inside of the know in order to perform a
number of tasks but now you're such a shocking on the bottom right of the
note which allows it to convert into an S not application now speaking %uh vez
note

there have been a couple of pens introduced here the calligraphy pen and
the fountain pen
which take advantage up the now enhanced touch recognition be pressure
sensitivity of the S Pen to give you even more
freedom over what kind of strokes you have on the actual screen itself
in order to really make your handwriting your own
voice memos typed notes and hand written notes are all still par for the course
when it comes to the No device

but probably the biggest and has been here has been the snap mode is an
addition that allows you to snap a picture on any news surfaced as a slutty
handwriting on it
and you will be able to recognize what is handwriting and what can be used as
images and I'm doing exactly here with my notes
in which the section on design that you can see will be manipulative much like
ham reading is in the ass not application

I will be able to select the entire block by holding the button down with
the S Pen and then dragging down much like you would with a mouse
and then from there I'll be able to take all the information and he stayed
somewhere else
it is also headed the ball on the way that you are able to edit handwriting
and we're in that I can erase the writings and had more to it

that selection that you are that you saw already with the handwriting
also applies to other places as well you can use the S Pen like a mouse
and you will be able to select a lot different elements at once by holding
down a bunt and dragging

and so there you have it for this first look at the Samsung Galaxy Note for
there are so many enhancements across the board and we really like what we see
that even this video that a given you it doesn't really feel like it's in
scratching the surface for example the hari monitor on the back now be tapped
while using the front-facing camera too easily takes off his

but only another example a further enhancements that Samsung has a putting
into the No line and in this particular version we do feel like the nightline
has matured to what we feel like it should have been this whole time
the metal frame around allows it have a very great feel in the hand
the suffering happens especially with multitasking really give it an even
better feel
and of course the S Pen is a better companion even now
after all love you who love to hand write notes and to be able to John
anything down on the fly

state into Android authority for all the best coverage at the Samsung Galaxy Note
for we will have plenty more for you
I specially with our coverage at if I and also at Samsung's
unpacked event where we will see even more devices that Samsung's putting up
for this year
so until then keep it in Turin and Ruth already cuz we are your source for all
things Android ( Samsung Galaxy Note 4 First Look )
