Galaxy Note 4: Eight things we love and two not so much – Washington Post

MADRID, 29 Oct. (Carlos Hergueta / Portaltic) –

Last week reached Spanish-physical stores, online and through-operators the new ‘phablet’ high-end Samsung: Galaxy Note 4 . Quite a few things Korean has improved after a few days of use few drawbacks you can put a really recommended terminal, especially the following:

The new metallic finish has laid him wonder the Galaxy Note. Although not be as stylish as the Alpha, because at the end of the day we’re talking about a ‘phablet’, the feelings conveyed are much better than transmitting the Note 3 , the plastic rim was particularly ugly. Additionally, the glass screen is slightly curved at the edges , similar to the iPhone 6, which also helps to improve the experience.

The improvements are stylus noteworthy. Now it is not only much more accurate (1,024 pressure points have come to recognize 2048) and can be used to sign documents. In addition, Samsung has learned from the mistakes and the drop down menu provides four options really useful: notebook, multiple selection, snapshot-in which you can take notes – free choice of images (we can draw the outline you want, do it in a square, circle or automatically fit one way). Finally we use all the options of the S Pen range.

The display (Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen) is one of the great advances of the Galaxy Note 4, with a resolution of 2,560 by 2,440 pixels . Thus, although the 5.7 inch remain, there is a significant jump from 1920 by 1080 pixels Note 3. What could have happened to this remarkable improvement in image quality that had a dramatic battery consumption, as with the LG G3, but fortunately it does not, which leads us to the next point.

Fast charging and battery performance are other aspects that we have loved 4. Note the Samsung, but has kept the size (well, went from 3200-3220 mAh), also optimized consumption and battery endurance on using intensive and about two if not do you use constantly. Not last as long as the Note 2 but in line Note 3. For fast charging, the previous model of the Note range took 55 minutes to charge to 50 percent battery. Now, the load level is reached in just 30 minutes, as the company promised. A special charger, which is included in Note 4 is necessary.

The fingerprint reader is another novelty Galaxy Note 4, after passing through the Galaxy S5 Alpha Galaxy Tab and Galaxy S. Besides confirming PayPal payments, with the fingerprint reader will be able secure access to your . This system, as with the iPhone, it is much more convenient than having to walk by entering a PIN code.

Heart rate monitor is one of the additions that we liked most . As you know if you already have the Galaxy S5 or any of the ‘wearables’ from Samsung, you can use measure your pulse and use the data in healthcare applications . We can not fail to mention in this connection, the app Samsung S Health. It’s really complete and perfect to follow an exercise plan in conditions.

The camera has also improved. Although the sensor is not as efficient as the iPhone 6 Plus, which is crowned as the terminal with best camera of the moment (above also Xperia Z3 Sony), it has improved compared to Note 3 and does not capture much noise ; moreover, it has grown to the 16MP and incorporates optical image stabilization , which moves less photos in low light and less vibration in the video are achieved. The inner camera, 3.7 megapixel , also better captures the light and now allows’ scenic selfies.



GAMES AND VIRTUAL REALITY

Galaxy Note 4 is a really powerful terminal, thanks to 805 Snapdragon processor and 3GB RAM , so you can be sure that in addition to work or be in touch with friends , will serve to play technically demanding titles. Here, you can use it like a console thanks to Wireless Controller Samsung , which has a tab for both the phone, regardless of size in question.

On the other hand before Christmas comes land in Spain expected VR Gear , A virtual reality helmet with the Note 4 will offer many more possibilities. Samsung has developed this helmet in collaboration with Oculus VR becoming a store own games, applications and other content. We may see a concert or going to the theater, watch a movie like we’re at the IMAX or hitting almost literally within a game.



ANY PEGA?

Yes. As already shown himself S5 Samsung Galaxy Sony Xperia range or have a mobile high-end Water resistant is a blast. Not only to get him in the pool or on the beach during the summer, but not to fear that rains over the winter or fall you a glass of water during a meal. Samsung should have kept him in Note 4 .

On the other hand, also offers various storage options and the thing stays in 32GB on a single model . Although it is common in the Note range and more than enough to enjoy the phone, and although it can be expanded via microSD, yours would give consumers choices and let them choose if they want more money for 64 or 128GB of internal storage.

Conclusion

Samsung has continuously improved its ‘phablet’ since he was born in 2011. This is perhaps which has less evolved at first sight (with respect to Note 3), but more in the background . It is the most powerful termiales market, the design is far superior to the previous model, perhaps most destacable- and Camera also behaves more competently than Note that of the Galaxy 3 and S5. It has also been tuned using the S Pen, which ever is more useful , though no dramatic change-and promises a new world of possibilities when it arrives and Gear VR becomes a virtual reality helmet . Unless you you have allergy ‘phablets’ Samsung has several arguments for you to make you the new Note .

Update While here we are fans too benchmarks , by popular request we then the Antutu and Quadrant . The version we tested is distributed in Spain with Qualcomm Snapdragon Adreno 805 and 420 and as you see the scores are high, above One M8, the Xperia Z2 or Galaxy S5:
