A MRP of Rs 61,500 and a MOP (Market Operative Price) of Rs 58,500 for the 32GB variant is really for the fattest purses. The Galaxy Note 4 though comes with the best of the specs and features that money can buy now in Android world.  We have the 5.7-Super AMOLED display with a whopping 551 pixels stashed in the QHD display i.e, a resounding 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution. We are talking about the similar eye-popping brilliant display we saw in Galaxy Tab S but all in a 5.7 inch screen. Clad with a  metal frame on the sides it still retains the plastic faux leather back panel. It is 8.5 mm thin and weighs 176 grams. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 system-on-chip which houses a quad-core processor clocked at 2.7GHz and an Adreno 420 GPU. The stand-out of the Note series is the S-Pen functionality and we have seen it get better and neater every year. Samsung claims a better pressure sensitivity and few new features like S-Select that helps you in smartly and easily select the pictures, texts and works like a mouse. The camera department holds up a 16-megapixel back camera with an enhanced optical image stabilization and a 3-megapixel front camera with a better low light abilities. The front camera should also be a selfie’s dream with a 120 -degree wide angle with a ‘groufie’ feature to accommodate a whole lot of real estate. With a QHD display, battery would always be a concern but Samsung has been able to muster enough battery juice in every iterations. Note 4 gets 3220 mAh battery and more importantly, the company says it can fast recharge up to 50 percent in some 30 minutes which is really good. The Note 4 will run Android 4.4 KitKat with the newly spruced up TouchWiz UI on top. Connectivity options on the Note 4 are top-of-the-line too with Wi-Fi ac, GPS with Glonass, NFC, Bluetooth v 4.1 (BLE,ANT+), IR LED, USB 2.0, and MHL 3.0.

Remember Samsung’s YOUM project experimenting with a wrap around curved display? Note Edge is the commercial start of the R&D. Note Edge’s internals are more or less identical to the Note 4 we outlined in the previous post, sharing the same chipset, technical prowess and software enhancements but this one has little more tricks up its sleeves thanks to the second display.  Though the main display at 5.6 inch is tad smaller than the Note 4 but there is a secondary display wrapped to the right side edge. The display is the same stunning QHD but there is an extra row of 160 pixels for the edge display.

On the lines of Note 4, the Galaxy Note Edge is powered by a 2.7GHz quad-core CPU. Depending on the market, the Note 4 could be equipped with 2.7GHz quad-core processor or 1.9GHz octa-core processor.  Then we have 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage and an expandable microSDXC card slot that can accommodate a further 64GB. The S-Pen and its functionality remains the same as well.

Untitled-8 The introduction of an extra curved display opens up windows of new possibilities and functionality and Samsung has worked upon a revolving UX to make good use of it. The edge display can display the notifications and messages and also depending on the apps can stage the shortcuts and settings. For eg, if you are using the camera, the shortcuts can get positioned on the edge display or say if you are watching a video, the controls can rest there so as to keep the main display obstruction-free. You can also lists shortcuts to various apps on the side panel for quick access. One of a simple usage is clock face. When the main display is dark or in lock screen, the edge display reveals a watch face which is great as a bedside clock or table clock when the phone is idle. Samsung would be open the SDK for developers so there is a possibility of new apps taking advantage of this innovative display. Untitled-9 One main concern of course would be the durability, as the side panel would be prone to damage. Samsung has not revealed the pricing yet but expect a premium for the product but it is sure to attract many eye-balls when you carry it.]]>

While initially the critics scoffed at the idea of a ‘phablet’ and many thought it was a ridiculous to hold such a big device as Smartphone, the Note went on to become a huge success and it shifted the mobile world to big screens. Since then, Samsung has been updating the Note series every year with new iteration with notable enhancements. We can bluntly say, so far none of its rivals had managed to match the powers of the S-Pen and its functionality. Come 2014 IFA, time for the 4th generation Note to be announced and here it is the latest Galaxy Note 4.

Every Galaxy Note iteration has seen an increase in the display size but the trend stops here, thankfully.
