it is as perfect as a smartphone can be in every respect except that, WHICH COULD BE EASILY FIXED IN SOFTWARE. For example, let's say that you select the info page of a hotel with its name and address seen there. It sports exactly the same shape, style and rounded corners as the Galaxy Alpha, only on a bigger scale and thanks to the increased size the plastic rear is more noticeable here than it is on the Alpha.

Both variants came with 3 GB of LPDDR3 RAM and 32 GB of internal memory that can be expanded using MicroSD-XC cards. So I understand now why Samsung did not include an option to turn off sharpening in the default camera app; the sharpening is needed to compensate for the weakeness of the lens on the edges.One by one, hardcore smartphone users were making their bold first step into phablet territory, lured in by the gigantic screen size and added multitasking features. inch 1440 x 2560 Super AMOLED display has a pixel density of 515 pixels per inch, so it’s big and sharp just as you’d expect from a QHD phablet, but it’s also every bit as bright and vibrant as other Super AMOLED screens. Note 4s were used to film Cai Lan Gong, the world's first feature film shot with a smartphone at 4K resolution. The main feature of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is its S Pen Stylus, an addition which helps it stand out from other phablets like the iPhone 6 Plus. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has a 3,220 mAh battery, which easily pushes it through a day of moderate use and can often stretch part way in to a second day, though you’re unlikely to get a full two days out of it unless you use the phone quite sparingly.

The pen itself isn't uncomfortably small, but it would have been better if it was a bit bigger – closer to the size of a real pen. Among the cool features of the fingerprint sensor, besides added security, is that you can set the different fingerprints you've registered to launch different applications. The fingerprint scanner meanwhile is slightly less impressive, often failing to read your print correctly, but it works most of the time and when it does it’s a whole lot faster than typing in a password. Plus it doesn’t even leave you to fiddle with the screen, as you can use the heart rate monitor on the back as a selfie-taking shutter button. The feature-packed interface employs a standard Android structure which involves a homescreen with multiple homescreen pages (the left most one can be the My Magazine new feed), and an app launcher.Reproduction in whole or part in any form or medium without specific written permission is prohibited. mhh, of course I can only go by what I am seeing in my samples and I get slightly overexposed samples when the start of the image is dark and the other way around.

We use industry standard tests to compare features properly and we use the phone as our main device over the review period. It can also record video in 2160p at 30fps or 1080p at 60fps, so you can make your HD movie ideas a reality. It might not be the best-looking handset but it’s getting there, and it largely delivers where it matters. By choosing the meta data option, you'll be able to easily find the address in Google Maps, and get directions to there.The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has a 16 megapixel camera with optical image stabilisation, so it’s better equipped than most camera phones to counter motion blur and camera shake. Snap camera HDR is even worse: it only has one overlay mode (Grid lines), which is similarly useless for 3:2 framing as it divides the screen into a 3*3grid.

Up application, which is a really cool tool for S Pen artists to share their works, as well as to discover paintings by others. We've taken a closer look at the image quality and dynamic range impact of the move to a Stacked CMOS global shutter sensor.

It’s also worth mentioning that the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 isn’t dust or water resistant, this isn’t a huge deal but it’s a feature that we’re increasingly seeing on phones, including some of Samsung’s, so it’s a shame the Note 4 isn’t one of them. The Note 4 TouchWiz UI was also evolved featuring the home screen icon pack known from the Galaxy S6 and also features new S Pen features known from the Galaxy Note 5 such as the new Air command menu design with custom shortcuts and Screen-off memo. Well, it seems like that time has finally come, as our scientific measurements of the Galaxy Note 4's screen indicate that its 'Basic' mode successfully adjusts the 5. It is accurate 95% of the time and is generally faster than taping in passcodes and passwords, using one of three fingers or two thumbs. As undeniably eye-catchy as those ultra-vibrant visuals are, we've always imagined there to be a special screen mode that would allow Samsung's AMOLED-powered devices to exhibit more realistic screen tones.
