time to finish this series has come to documenting my experience with two rival tabléfonos. It has been a pleasure to give my impressions on how it is to live with the iPhone 6 Plus, the Galaxy Note 4 and its predecessor to provide a fuller understanding of what an analysis of conventional device can provide report.

But There tabléfonos new on the horizon behind him, frankly, take these two devices every day is getting a little tiresome. So, let’s take a final look at some aspects such as the relative optical between the new Note and iPhone. I will give my impressions of certain improvements in the interface of Note 4 which, for me, make even more productive than before device and tell you of a horrific incident in which a crepe and a bit cement opened my eyes.

Compare cameras



CNET

The cameras of the Note and iPhone are almost at par, which means that the skills of shot camera phone from Samsung have taken a big step forward its predecessor.

I expressed my frustration with the quality of the camera Note 3. Note 4 represents a huge improvement in every way, but for me the iPhone 6 Plus remains the Phablet would select when I want to take a photo There are several reasons

First, and perhaps the most crucial aspect, the app camera starts more quickly It’s a small difference -… the iPhone is ready to take a picture after 0.8 seconds, while the Note 4 took about 1.5 seconds – but you can tell when you’re trying to capture that shot, every split second counts.. Also, go to the photo gallery and slide for viewing on the iPhone is also a more streamlined experience.

The iPhone camera does better in accuracy of white balance and exposure. The white balance is easy to fix after taking the photos, but the photos that the camera makes Apple are usually higher.

That said, I have taken many pictures with Note 4 which I am more than satisfied. In Note 3 felt the need to bring with me that the first iPhone was such a poor camera. In Note 4, since I do not have that need.



Improved app Interview

Though I still refuse me call “S Pen,” I am ashamed to admit my affinity for the stylus of Note series. For me, Note 4 is a device very focused on productivity, and a vital part of my job is to do interviews. In Note 3 depended on an app called Easy Voice Recorder to record audio while taking notes on the app Samsung S Note.

In Note 4 Samsung has bagged a audio recording app that is not only easy to use they also have stunning to mute the external audio capabilities. I conducted interviews in very crowded places and the app is great to eliminate ambient noise. Although audio processing causes some distortion in the tone of voice, the result is much easier to hear when you’re looking for a specific quote.

This was one of the features that Samsung showed off at the launch of Note 4, an announcement was not greeted with much excitement among the members of the press. But, it works and makes my job easier. And that’s what counts

The S Note app has also seen improvements significant. The most interesting thing for me is its ability to capture and embed images from the whiteboard and projectors. The app automatically adjusts the perspective, so if you are sitting on one side, the image result will be square, and even allow you to cut image in different elements can drag and adjust in the same point.

The quality is not the most fabulous, but it’s good enough to capture important details of a PowerPoint presentation and integrate neatly into a point. Hopefully that this is not a task you have to perform every day, but I was surprised by its usefulness when I used it.

This is a function that applies only to a minority, but it’s a feature Note that highlight the 4 in my opinion.

Durability test

Small scratches on the back of Note 4 after suffering a fall. Tim Stevens / CNET

I mentioned above that compared to the iPhone 6 Plus, Note 4 is perhaps the most durable of the two. I got a demo accidentally this point this week. As he stood on the sidewalk, eating a crepe apples held in one hand, with the other hand I took the note out of my pocket.

I do not know how, but the phone slipped from my hand, walking a vertical path upward, and then, to my agony, STEERING took to the concrete sidewalk.

He landed on his back – the best that could have happened. The harm? A slight scratch on the back cover – and that’s it. If it had landed on its lateral side, I think things would have ended in a worse way. But frankly, survive a fall of more than a meter to finish the concrete sidewalk with only a scratch is something admirable.

That said, not everything is rosy. I noticed a number of subtle scratches on the glass screen. They are small and do not know how they got there, but given that scratches point to different directions these are the result of several incidents. Although it pains me to say it, I think it is advisable to buy a screen protector just to make sure you do not have to spend more money to replace the screen.

On the other hand, my Note 3 having one year old who has not had the best treatment in my hands yet has a screen devoid of scratches.

Winner



CNET

Just as the iPhone 6 Plus has received a number of improvements from the first analysis that was performed – Swiftkey has been improved and has won a number of new widgets , among other things – Samsung has also improved the Note Although reluctantly, chose the Note 3 instead of 6 Plus iPhone impressions in my past now I cast my selection -. My final verdict – no fewer reservations: Note 4 is the winner

The improvement to the camera is significant, and the design of the apparatus I welcome the increase in performance and although new software functions and… the functionality of the Samsung seem to bulk package, I think it’s worth

I still want it to be quick pee in their response time, provide a more polished experience and a selection of apps of higher quality. – which is what iOS features – and certainly the iPhone 6 Plus is the most enjoyable of these two devices when hold it and admire its contours. But for me, functionality and productivity are my priorities. And in these respects, Note 4 takes the crown.
