The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is an Android phablet smartphone produced by Samsung Electronics. The Galaxy Note 4 was unveiled during a Samsung press conference at IFA Berlin on 3 September 2014 and was released globally in October 2014.^[2] It serves as the immediate successor to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

Specifications[edit]

Hardware[edit]

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 features a 2560×1440 Quad HD (QHD) WQ HD Super AMOLED 5.7-inch display with damage-resistant Gorilla Glass 4, and provides a pixel density of 515 ppi (pixels-per-inch) The Note 4 comes in two variants, one powered by a 2.7 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 805 chipset with Adreno 420 GPU, the other powered by Samsung’s ARMv8-A Exynos 7 Octa SoC with two clusters of four cores; four Cortex-A57 cores at 1.9 GHz, and four Cortex-A53 cores at 1.3 GHz, which is the same processor cluster sold for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in markets that mostly use or only have 3G(Such as HSUPA & HSPA), and/or '2G', such as unaltered GSM and CDMA networks, similar to how the Galaxy Note 4 is sold.

Both devices that use 4G, LTE/LTE-A & Hybrid 4G-LTE Networks are currently only sold in Canada, Australia, U.S, U.K (For some carriers), Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and South Korea, which have wide spread 4G LTE Markets, or are solely 4G/LTE/LTE-A dependant such as Canada & Denmark, which do not use any 3G or older networks, except for HSUPA (Used as a fall back network should the signal strength be weak due to being underground or in the middle of a building), as well as HSPA+, which is a 3G network, though considered by some to be the Original 4G.^[3][4][5] The GPU in charge in the Exynos chipset is the Mali-T760.^[6] Both variants come with 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM and 32GB of internal memory.^[7] Samsung touted new S-Pen features including tilt and rotation recognition^[8] but these features are either not implemented or not supported.^[9] The Note 4's back-cover has a strong resemblance to the Note 3, with a faux leather texture (although without the simulated stitching). Note 4 has a new aluminium frame design, bearing resemblance from the Samsung Galaxy Alpha. Criticism has been aimed at the lack of IP67 certification (water and dust resistance), which is present in Samsung's other flagship, the Galaxy S5.

The Note 4 features a USB 2.0 charging port instead of USB 3.0 (as was in the Note 3 and S5), in favor of a new feature called Fast Charge, which Samsung claims can charge the phone from 0% to 50% in about 30 minutes and from 0% to 100% in less than 100 minutes. It features some unique sensors such as a UV sensor and heart-rate monitor, among other, more common sensors.

The Note 4 also includes a stylus pen seamlessly incorporated into the design.

Software[edit]

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comes with Google's mobile operating system, Android, specifically KitKat 4.4.4, with its user interface modified with Samsung's custom skin named TouchWiz Nature UX 3.0. The Note 4 contains most of the original Note's software features and functions, but also adds more significant upgrades from the predecessors, such as a new multitasking interface, expanded S-Pen functions, and gestures and refreshed menus and icons.

Camera[edit]

The main (rear-facing) camera is a 16 MP autofocus camera, featuring Smart OIS (Optical Image Stabilization + software image stabilisation).4K video recording at 30fps and 1080p video recording at 60fps and also it has 120fps slow motion video recording in 720p resolution. The secondary (front-facing) camera is a 3.7 MP camera with an f1.9 aperture that can record 2560x1440 QHD videos and capture wide-angle pictures.

Sales[edit]

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 was released around the start of October 2014, and was available in most major markets by the middle of October. The first regions to receive the device were South Korea and China where it has gained huge popularity. In the first month only, the Galaxy Note 4 has reportedly sold 4.5 million units, which is a little less than its predecessor, the Galaxy Note 3, which was able to report 5 million sales in the first month after release.^[10][11] Samsung says that sales of the Note 4 were lower than those of the Note 3 at launch because the Note 4 was initially unavailable in some major international markets due to manufacturing issues, delaying release until early November in markets including the United Kingdom and India.

Plug-in for Samsung VR[edit]

Only specific Snapdragon chipset variants of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, tied to US select carriers, can be plugged into the Samsung Gear VR headset, which was created in partnership with Oculus VR.^[12]
