Samsung Note 4 year of release. Prices in online stores
In the understanding of many companies, Fablites are just large smartphones whose peculiarity is only in increased size and, as a result, a big display. Samsung, having popularized the direction of tablet phones with a Note series, continues to bend its line and separate the top line using an electronic pen. In the Galaxy Note 4 model, we found the use of new ideas for using S PEN to increase user productivity, but at the same time, the novelty will also be interested in those who simply need a stooded smartphone with a steep hardware.

Video review and unpacking
Design and equipment
The phone came to us without everything, but you can look at the contents of the box in the official unpacking from Samsung. The equipment includes documentation, battery, charger unit, MicroUSB cable, headset with interchangeable lining, Feather S Pen (inserted into the phone) and additional tips for it. Today, the product is declared in four colors: White (Frost White), Gold / Bronze (Bronze Gold) and Pink (BLOSSOM PINK). It is not a fact that they all will start selling simultaneously, although the pre-ordered can be issued immediately to all colors.
Galaxy Note 4 looks like the flagship, strictly and effectively. Not everyone can distinguish it from Note 3, but those who are in the subject will immediately pay attention to the heartbeat sensor that appeared under the camera and the frame painted under the main color. The frame is now made of the present metal, and not from plastic mimicing under it. First model Galaxy With metal in the housing, remind, became a stylish compact Galaxy Alpha. Apparently, the company will now be much more active to apply this material, which means the opponents of Samsung will lose weighty argument against. Asked for metal? Get. The back cover is made of plastic under the skin. Note 4 compared to Note 3 texture has become nicer and felt almost as real. This cover is also very practical. White material, of course, is brain, but it is easily rubbed and hides the fingerprints, scratching, scratches.
Consider the design in the details. Frontal square decorates the pride of the company - 5.7 "screen with a resolution of 2K. A conversational speaker was placed on him, the sensors, a 3.7-megapixel camera, the LED indicator, and under it there is a central physical key "Home" with the finger scanner integrated into it and two touch buttons - "open programs" and "back". On the left end there is a loud swing (is high), on the right - the power button (the height is acceptable). Below we see two microphones, microUSB and a fastening for a pen. The top end contains an audio jack, an additional microphone and an IR transmitter to control home appliances. On the reverse side, attention is attracted by a large peephole 16-MP cameras, under which the flash and the heartbeat sensor fit. Speaker (volume above average) is also behind, although Note 3 accommodation was more successful - on the bottom end (the sound was reflected from the surface, and now there is a cessation, though insignificant).
Under a reliably sitting cover without a single hint on the backlash and the symptoms there is a battery, compartment under a Micro-SIM card and a slot for a microSD memory card.
Earlier, I had a special relationship with SUPER AMOLED screens with Pentile technology - I didn't like such panels, since I was embarrassed by red halisters, loose fonts, dirty white color and visible with the naked eye shared greenism. But I have no complaints to the Note 4 screen, and there is no. With a diagonal of 5.7 "and resolution of 2560 x 1440 points, the pixel density is 513 ppi, which even with a special structure of the subpixels (Diamond Pentile matrix) is a high value. The Note 4 display has excellent readability in the sun, black color deep, contrast at the height, the viewing angles are high, you can close the eyes on the loops, and the white color is white enough, so as not to strain the pentile haters. Moreover, in the settings, you can select the screen mode: "Active display" (adjusts to applications), "Movie AMOLED", "AMOLED" and "BASIC". My eyes seemed the most pleasant "Movie Amoled" mode, although realistic colors, rather, shows "AMOLED". Well, when the news is the choice, right? The 2.5D Gorilla Glass 3 glass is responsible for protection. It is though rounded, but it is practically not felt, since with swipes to the edges, the fingers are found with a painted metal frame. The gaps where you can fit the credit card and which frightened in the news, at my engineering sample (prototype) was not detected.
With a diagonal of 5.7 "smartphone simply cannot be compact. Its dimensions are 153.5 x 78.6 x 8.5 mm, so morally prepare for use with two hands. Weight on paper impressive (176 g), however, a pleasant texture of pseudocory, a small thickness and a reliable frame made of metal do not leave places for unpleasant sensations and discomfort. The design of the phone is really strong, which is confirmed by visual tests from Samsung:
The new feather S Pen can recognize 2048 degrees of pressing against 1024 at the pen of last year's Note 3. The accessory is securely attached in the nest and pulls out with a pleasant vibration, it is easy to put it back. On the handle under the thumb, the key expanding the functionality is provided. The pen is built in and the sensor connecting it with the phone - if you accidentally left the Pen on the table, the phone will depend on the phone and will notify the loss.
Special attention deserves a finger scanner. Implementation in Galaxy S5 (Review) left much and logically to expect that in Note 4 the company improved technology. Despite the fact that the principle of functioning remained the same (swipe from glass on the down key), the percentage of correct responses has grown tangible, but before the iPhone, alas, does not reach. It should be assumed that the accuracy of entering the input has increased in proportion to the increase in the area of \u200b\u200bthe key to which the scanner is built. The manufacturer also took into account that the user is much more convenient to swipe with a thumb, holding a device in one hand, and not to keep in one, swipe the index finger of another hand - this is noticeable according to the instructions in which the prints are offered and so, and the case. The button itself, by the way, has become more convenient and more pleasant to press.
Software and Feather S Pen
Now Galaxy Note 4 is based on Android 4.4.4 Kitkat and you can be sure that the device will not remain without current updates and will be very promptly received. The branded Loncher Touchwiz offers all that was in Galaxy S5 (Review), Galaxy Alpha, and even more - electronic pen and dimensions oblige. From the general moments, it is worth highlight an extreme left table, an aggregating news stream from Flipboard, the ability to close all applications and access the task manager by pressing the left touch button below the display, the configurable list of shortcut keys in the curtain, as well as search S Finder and quick connection in She is.
I like fresh background pictures on the desktop and the lock screen, but I do not like to look for them. In Note 4, you can activate the automatic shift of pictures on Lockscreen from interesting collections (travel, nature, animals, food ...) and according to the weather outside the window. My choice is a selection. From there are really interesting and beautiful wallpapers.
Settings can be displayed as a list or in tabs. Pay attention to the options for managing one hand and gesture control. The main points of the parameters are shown in the screenshots. About my finger scanner I said above. In comparison with SGS5, it has become a little more convenient. To improve the accuracy of the trigger, I advise you to enter the same finger that you will unlock the device (in my case it is a thumb right hand), In all three available slots of prints with the same position across the entire finger area (all 60 times). Through the scanner, it is optionally access to websites and purchases on Samsung services.
At smartphone big screen And it would be a mistake not to use this advantage. In Note 4, you can roll up many applications into a small one, but still convenient for interacting the window, start it over other applications - you need to make a swipe from the top corner diagonally to the desired height. The window that appears (it is allowed to fold several programs at once) can be moved, fold in a small icon, disclose, close and move the contents from it. The window can be moved to the extreme face and then the display will be divided into two parts. You can control multiple windows and pressing the "Back" key - a bar will appear with such mode supports. If you run the list open programsYou will see a double window from some applications - it performs the same task - start in the window. The separation bar between the windows changes the visible area, and the tap on the circle will open the context menu. It is allowed to transfer text or images with further sending (from the browser to SMS, for example).
Using S PEN, clamping a button, you can select text or image. Guarding the pen without touching glass allows you to preview photos or videos with access to various menus, view posts in the PLANNER calendar. Also in the air you can find out the description of the application interface elements.
S Note is an advanced program for creating notes using S Pen. Notes can be issued not only with pen, but also by voice, keyboard, as well as pictures. Here you can repose - tools are more than enough. Although it is better to install Autodesk Sketchbook for Galaxy for drawing.
At the "recorder" three recording modes: an interview (recording of sound from the upper and lower parts of the phone), a meeting (eight directions with the possibility of exclusion of unnecessary sources) and a voice note (transformation of speech into the text at a distance of 20 cm from the bottom of the device). I was interested in voice input and I tried it. In principle, to record thoughts will go, but then you will have to adjust a lot.
The branded music player is not well optimized for the control of swipes, and the interface itself could be sharpened for a large screen (some elements are in the upper part and they have to reach them). But the design is generally pleasant. To adjust the sound quality there are several options. First, there is an adjustment under the ears of the Adapt Sound (different frequencies are driven and the user indicates that he hears, and what not). Secondly, an advanced SoundALIVE equalizer is provided, where effects are possible (notes the lamp amplifier), adjustment of the frequency in the square, as well as control strips with low and high frequency gain. In the version of Note 4 with the EXYNOS chipset, there is a dedicated audio chip, but at the moment there are no reliable information about it. Most likely, the sound is responsible for the sound of Wolfson. Surely it has great potential, however, the Korean company again did not fully revealed it (I remember the superbly playing Meizu MX3 with Wolfon WM5102, which sounds better than Samsung Galaxy S4 with him). Note 4 listened to a bundle with Denon D600 headphones. The smartphone has a small volume of volume (comfortably listen to 13 or 14 division out of 15), it works well with the lower frequencies, but the middle sounds Gulko, and the upper dirty and they lack the transparency. For example, in the Shatter Me track from Lindsey Stirling, the vocals goes to Sibillyt, and cotton hands in Get Lucky from Daft Punk and The Bomb from Pigeon John sounds like this is not cotton, but the steps of the military. In general, the vast majority of users will remain quite sound - juicy, loud, but with nuances, smoothed sharp corners of which software improvements will help.
The large panel allows you to comfortably read books on the way, so you should like an exclusive offer for the owners of Note 4 - 6 months free access To the Bookmate library.
If it seems to you that with the Pen's feather, it is impossible to draw a masterpiece, then you are mistaken. Just go to the Pen.up social network and look at the work of other Note Series Device Owners.
The Note 4 application offers great opportunities to conduct an active lifestyle and health tracking. Sensors allow you to measure the pulse, the amount of oxygen in the blood, the level of stress and UV radiation, count the number of steps, track the path. A good supplement will be a binding to the Gear branded accessories service.

Camera
Note 4 uses a wide-angle 16-megapixel camera with autofocus, flash, f / 2.2 light and optical image stabilization. There are several modes (selective focus, panorama, virtual tour, Bilateral shooting), various settings and filters. The camera in all scenarios manifests itself at the highest level - macro, long-range plans, shooting with a lack of light are given to her without problems. Focusing is performed quickly and accurately, the number of lubricated snapshots is small. See Examples:
You can get a selfie in several ways. First, you can use the frontal 3.7-megapixel camera with high-light F / 1.9 optics, making a snapshot on the touch on the sensor under the main chamber - very convenient, by the way. Secondly, if you want to make group selfie, then use the appropriate mode - a panoramic shooting on the front will be performed. Thirdly, make a high-resolution self-portrait on the main chamber - turn the device with a lid to yourself and when the face is found, observe the countdown (vibration or sound).
Video is written in the resolution of UHD, WQHD, FULL HD, HD, VGA. Modes are such: normal (30 fps), slow motion, fast movement and smooth movement (60 fps). When shooting in 4K, the recording restriction is 5 minutes, shooting for two cameras and HDR does not work, the video effects are not superimposed and there is no possibility to do the photo. In 4K, the optical stabilizer does not exhibit in any way, but "in all its glory" is presented at Full HD (60 FPS). Shake he, of course, removes, but instead the picture "floats." Note 4 stabilization is similar to the one that is used in the Lumia line from the model 920. Regardless of the resolution of the Note 4 camcorder, pleases you with a great audio track with a good separation of channels for stereo (256 kbps, 48 \u200b\u200bkHz), high-quality voice capture and adequate noise reduction . Perhaps Note 4 most high-quality recording Sound that I met. See the examples and download the originals:
Tests and performance
Note 4's hardware base in Russia is the 8-core samsung exynos 5433 chipset (4 A57 kernels with a frequency of 1.9 GHz + 4 A53 cores with a frequency of 1.3 GHz) with a graphics accelerator MALI-T760 and 3 GB random access memory. Due to the resolution of 2K, I worked that the interface would laugh, but no - the shell is numb and smooth, even if you run several windows and actively use S PEN. There are problems with the gallery (slow rendering of screenshots and photos), and, I hope, it will be corrected with updates. With games, too, everything is fine, but it is not yet optimized under 2k. So Fruit Ninja, Nova 3, Asphalt 8 (when setting maximum graphics there are no effects), Asphalt: pursuit (the same with graphics), Modern Combat 5 and GTA San. Andreas (textures of low quality, as usual at Mali) go with an acceptable value of FPS and in permit full HD or lower. But Dead Trigger 2, which goes in honest 2K, demonstrates the frame value per second below the comfortable level - on average 15 fps, but drops to 2-5 fps.
Results in Benchmark: Antutu 5.1 - 47 966, Quadrant - 25 744, Geekbench 3 - 1242/4144, Basemark OS 2 - 1228, GFXBENCH - 4.3 / 11.6 FPS (2K) and 7.1 / 17.5 FPS (Full HD), 3DMark Unlimited - 12 143, Epic Citadel Ultra - 33.4 FPS. As can be seen from the indicators, the processor at Note 4 is powerful, but the graphic component leaves more desired, and not only for 2K, but also Full HD. While the performance is enough, but when the toys appears in the present 2K, the situation for avid players will become unpleasant. It is worth noting that the network has higher Note 4 results in a number of tests, however, they are most likely received from Snapdragon 805. If they are still going with an exynos model, then the difference (by the way, it is small - about 5 FPS in graphic tests, so the games will go comparable) can be explained by the unfinal firmware.

A removable battery with a capacity of 3220 mAh supports fast charging. Subject to charging from the corresponding block, which was not at hand, the 30-minute feeding should provide 50% charge. The device's time is impressive. The discharge in the video player mode with the maximum brightness and all active modules left for almost 12 hours. In the GTA San Andreas game, a discharge for half an hour with a comfortable brightness value was 12% (9% in the NOVA 3 game). In everyday life, you can count on several days of operation at 6-7 hours of active display. Additional clocks and even days of work will ensure the power saving modes - the usual (optional: restriction of background data, the processor frequency limit, shades of gray) and the extremal, converting the device in almost 3.7 days of work).
Heating is not a problem for Note 4. Under a strong load and after long playing, the metal frame remains warm, does not burn and does not cause discomfort. After half an hour of the run in Stability Test, the battery was heated to 42 degrees, and half an hour in GTA SA warmed up it to 39 degrees. Unfortunately, due to two clusters in the chipset, measure the real frequency and identify its dependence on heating in Stability Test and CPU SPY has not been possible. However, underwater stones should not - the substantial sections of the FPS under the long-term load were not detected.
conclusions
Galaxy Note 4 has a complete right to be considered the most top-end device of Samsung and one of the most successful smartphones of 2014. The strong parties of the novelty include a well-assembled housing with a metal, a long time of operation, a high-quality screen and a magnificent camera. The possibilities of the pen s Pen will not leave you indifferent, especially if you want to get a new experience of interaction with your smartphone. The main obstacle to Note 4 in the buyers' pockets will be the price - 34,990 rubles. After attraction unprecedented generosity With Note 3 of MegaFon, it is difficult to perceive it, but it is entirely justified, if you look at competitors, the dollar rate, characteristics and functions of the device. It pleases that the ruler retains its branded traits and acquires new, being unique in the industry.
Today we have on review, perhaps, one of the most interesting smartphones - Samsung Galaxy Note 4. The device wants to keep in your hands long, study and show, and also recommend all lovers of large screens and multifunctional. Many users will eventually, of course, and the current laptop 4, because there are no special competitors from Furniture.
According to the external characteristics of Samsung Galaxy Note 4, some changes have been added. For example, it has become a little more and, accordingly, heavier due to partially metallic housing. The reverse side of this is resistance to damage.
On the back, the design of the skin remained, which is actually only specially treated plastic. It is worth noting that the younger model, the backs looked like more skinlike skin because of the special chips in the form of firmware with threads. It's all rude and inexpical. But in general, despite savings, the device looks solid.
Music 4 has a removable cover, which is often lacking in modern smartphones. You can safely get the battery, if suddenly it will be needed that it will not be possible to do with the monolith.
The gadget feels the continuity of generations of Samsung, but at the same time new notes are present. These include, for example, a defined texture on the front panel. The peculiarity of this texture does not allow carefully to highlight the touch buttons and the notification LED.
On the front of the front, the front camera is located, sensors, a dynamics grid and a small notification LED. On the bottom there are two touch buttons: on the right - "back", on the left - "applications", and the central physical button "Home", in which a dactyloscopic sensor is built into, that is, the fingerprint sensor. It is not enough for unlocking. On the scanner it is very difficult to fall, and it does not work quickly.
On the right end, you can find the power button, the bottom of the "feather" is hidden from below, two microphones, Micro USB connector. The stylus has become more sensitive. And also simplified options that you can call with it. Now active notes (so-called fast) while maintaining are synchronized and remain in S-Note. The feather became a little more convenient and began to recognize even more pressing than before. You can: draw, write, edit, celebrate, etc. As a result, notes 4 turns into a difficult smartphone, but a real working tool!
On the left end - dual swing of volume adjustment. She now looks a little different thanks to a small excavation in the middle. Press the volume is now much more convenient.
At the top end is a small rise, followed by a connector for headphones and headset, infrared port and another microphone. The infrared port was kept, but the Smart Remote application now appeared "glitches" and problems. It is necessary to specifically download additional addons to work normally.
Smartphone received great amount Sensors: ultraviolet radiation (in summer it can be relevant), earth magnetism and light, pulse, blood oxygenation. How the last works - remains a mystery. The principle of operation of the rest of the sensors is simple. It is worth only to put a finger on the sensor, the red light will turn around and it will start working. During this it is impossible to move and speak to obtain accurate data.
Samsung Galaxy Music Nat 4 is good - nothing creaks and not "backlash", as it should be a smartphone from the company A-class. Such quality is explicit progress compared to the previous version.
Screen
The laptop 4 has a very beautiful screen by 5.7 inches. This is the optimal value, a little and quite a few. The peculiarity of this display is that, in contrast to the notes 3, it is like a surface with a pleasant roundness, and not recessed as earlier. The display is hidden under Gorillas Class 3, which does not just be asleep even with a strong press.
Resolution - 2560 per 1440 points, that is, Cloud HD-screen. The resolution is huge, but it is rather just a tribute to modern fashion. Users are not sure if such permission is needed real, because the eye has already ceased to distinguish the presence of graincies since 2000 points. Density points - 515 ppi.
The smartphone uses the SUPER AMOLLED Plus matrix, but just standing only to reject the device aside, as the white color appears, which is most likely due to a large glass thickness. There is a special very convenient reading mode. In general, I would like to note that on notes 4 it became very comfortable to read at any time of the day.
Processor, OS and autonomy
The phone has a SAMSUNG EXYNOS 5410 processor, which is eight-core and operates at 1.9 Gigahertz. Exynos 5410 - 64-bit processor. Inside SAMSUNG NOTE 4 There are 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB - built-in. Plus to this, you can expand internal memory using MicroSD.
In no game you will not get any pate, just, for example, in GTA on maximum settings And then, it is most likely the problem of optimization.
The Android 4.4.4 device is controlled, which, unfortunately, some "pickers". They are very small, but nevertheless - sometimes being present. Double-click the S-VOICE helper is launched. The menu is still quite simple, and it can be organized completely under it.
Samsung Note 4 has a 3220 m / h battery, which supports fast charging technology. But despite her presence, it is worth remembering that it "kills" the battery faster. Also possible wireless charger. In general, the charge holds well, but not as it would like. On the day of the phone, in principle, grabs.
Sound
I would like to note, as mentioned earlier, the sound in this device. In the recorder, interesting new "chips" appeared. There are several modes:
- Standard, that is, they pressed and recorded the sound.
- Voice memo, where the flagship recognizes the recorded voice and translates it into text. Extremely convenient function for some people.
- Interview mode. You take an interview or talk negotiations with an eye on the eye. The sound will be qualitatively recorded and in front, and behind, thanks to which the speakers will be well audible in the end on the record.
- Meeting mode. It is possible to record up to 8 people with the ability to disable various sources.
Camera
Camera on samsung note 4 slightly more than previous model: Basic at16 MP, frontal by 3.7 megapixel. It is now one of the best in the market, perhaps, give way to only the iPhone, but it takes all the rest. Flowered - 2.2. Much better than the laptop 4 works with light - the colors are better, lighter and clear. Detailing has improved compared with the previous version.
The wide-angle lens is installed in the front chamber, which is able to make widescreen selfie.
Video is written in 720 p up to 120 frames per second, Full HD up to 60 frames per second, 2K and 4K - 30 frames per second. And now the optical stabilization appeared. It's just fantastic!
RESULTS
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is an elegant smartphone with a number of interesting chips, which gives us not only a shell from the Korean company, but to a greater degree of the stylus itself. By buying this phone, you will receive:
- Wonderful screen.
- Beautiful camera.
- Many sensors that can be measured by a number of highly rare indicators.
- Stylus, which is extremely pleasant and convenient to use.

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 4 Smartphone - Overview
Samsung - as new-seater from the "service novel", who worked, worked on his report and he became better and better. Also from samsung with their top smartphone Note, who proved that the bow of the city and the village is well, in the sense, smartphone and tablet - must take place and that the market is completely ready for this. And this note asked such a tone that smartphones with a diagonal from 5 to 6 inches and even more began to produce almost all major manufacturers. And even in Apple - there were no pairs of years - suppleged that the smartphone should be big - tea, it is not a phone, but a whole computer. Well, yes, Jobs considered a blasphemous increase in the display of an iPhone beyond the limits of four inches, because, they say, then he will slip out of her hands, but Steve had a lot of strange mistakes. And samsung ... Samsung continued to develop a Note lineup, so the first model followed Note 2, then Note 3, and now, ladies and gentlemen, let your Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (I have a SM-N910F model, bought in Spain, and for Russia model number - SM-N910C) - new flagship Companies. And I was very interested to see what Samsung was invented for the fourth note, because, in my opinion, it was almost all that could be invented in the third. Where too, did I think? But Samsung has shown that they still have where to develop. And SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 4.

Price in Moscow: 36-40 thousand rubles Well, what's here? Yes, everything is here with us! All you can come up with. Well, the resolution of the display is 2560x1440. LG G3 is remembered, there had two serious disadvantages: first, the brightness of the display was lower than the average, well, and secondly, on one charge of the battery at 3000 ma · h, this display lived except until the end of the day, and when Active use (for example, on trips) the battery was discharged by the middle of the day, which is completely fig. But let's see how this smartphone will behave. Contents of delivery Box, frankly, boring. But it is written that there is inside, - not all manufacturers get to do this.
Complete set: smartphone, USB-microUSB cable, wired headset with replaceable nozzles, power adapter, removable battery, brochure. At the last model, the port was under MicroUSB 3.0 and the corresponding cable was included in the kit, in this model the cable is the usual and port for MicroUSB 2.0. Why they refused uSB ports 3.0? In the company, this is not commenting, but I think the reason here is simple: very few people really need it (if you need to download big files On the memory card - this can be done through the cardder), and the production increases in price. 
Appearance and features
It must be said that Samsung gradually depart from the concept of the design "Nostalgic white soappet" and now their smartphones have become more or less decently look. Note 3 boasts a corrugated plastic rim "under metal" on the end surfaces, there is a metal bezel, and it is painted in the color of the smartphone, and the tops are cut off, which looks quite interesting. The "Home" button is also a fingerprint scanner. 
The back cover is plastic under the skin, and the simulation of the seat, like the third model, was removed here. And in vain, looked good. But so the rear facade of the smartphone looks quite pretty. 
Pen is a distinctive part of all Note-Tablet smartphones - is at its usual place: right from below. And it can be inserted into the socket in two positions: the up button or down button. Under the camera there are flash and a sensor, with which you can measure the pulse and the oxygen content in the blood. Dynamic compared to the third model moved to the back cover (like Galaxy S5). It seems that with this arrangement, the speaker will be shuffled with the surface of the table when the smartphone lies on it, but no - not jammed: there is a jumper over the mesh of the speaker has a small thickening, so the speaker in any case will not be tightly pressed to the surface. Nizhny end: insert with pen, two microphones, microUSB port. 
Left end - Volume swing. It is pressed very clearly, use it convenient. 
Upper end: Exit under the headset, another microphone (third), infrared port, with which the smartphone turns into a universal home appliance control panel. 
Right end - power button. A small slot has been done over it in the back cover, with which the lid can be removed. 
Smartphone without rear cover: Removable battery and slots are visible under Microsim and MicroSd. MicroSD card can be changed without pulling out the battery. 
The quality of assembly and materials is expected excellent, the phone is pleasant to take in hand. Here is our hero in classmates: Huawei Ascend Mate 7, iPhone 6 Plus and LG G Flex. 
Display
As you know, Samsung is developing independently and releases displays for its smartphones. And Samsung displays are installed in many business models, while understandable, the most cream in Samsung leaves for their flagships. (For this reason, Apple has long installed displays from Samsung for a long time, it all sought to break these business relationships.) Note 4 - one of the most perfect today, if not the most perfect. The resolution of 2560 x 1440 (Quad HD) gives the amazing density of pixels (515 per inch), and this naturally leads to the fact that the quality of the image and fonts is completely amazing. And if earlier experts had complaints about Samsung matrices created using Pentile RGB technology (if briefly green subpixels are twice as much as red and blue, that is, it is RGBG, and not RGB), because in comparison with "honest "The matrices on the RGB were worse than the image quality, then it's not even clear what you can do, - the information on the display looks just fine. In addition, such displays have very small power consumption, so even with a similar resolution from one battery charge smartphone Must live long enough. However, we will soon check it. The top display is closed with the latest glass of Corning Gorilla Glass 3, which compared to Corning Gorilla Glass 2 has higher scratch strength and resistance. Also there is a special layer intended for intellectual processing of the pen. (None of the competitor has nothing like this, this is a branded feature of the Note series.) The viewing angles of the smartphone are excellent, with a deviation to a large angle along the vertical horizontal, the brightness drops only. Black color when changing the corners does not change at all, but a pure white color even at small angles of inclination acquires a light greenish-bluish tint. The brightness is very good: in the room in a bright sunny day it was necessary to install somewhere 60-70%, However, here I was able to use it with an automatic configuration, setting it up for maximum brightness (you can vary the levels of the auto-adjustment). On the direct sunlight with brightness of 100% information was completely distinguishable, however, when using automatic adjustment, the smartphone in the Sun included an additional backlight as a result of which The brightness of the screen has increased significantly and readability increased noticeably. With flowers that the first versions of Super Amoled displays were somewhat "acid", the problem has long been solved in the Samsung. Especially since you can customize the color profiles of the device. Mode "Basic" - saturated colors that look very natural. "Adaptive display" - there is automatic optimization of the color range, saturation and sharpness for the desktop and the main applications of the TouchWiz shell. 
There is a good oleophobic coating, with which the screen is shred with your fingers noticeably smaller, and an effective anti-glare filter. In general, the display, in my opinion, is simply excellent. Better displays With such a resolution I have not met. (LG G3, in addition to problems with power consumption, the display also had no stock in brightness - it was always possible to set it 100%.) Yes, well, and to conversations that, they say, the matrix on Pentile RGB is a real permission two times lower than the declared because Samsung believes on green subpixels, which are twice as many red and blue ... I don't know who by what subpixels considers, but permission here is 2560x1440 pixels, which is clearly visible in screenshots that exactly Such sizes. Device operation Here you have traditional for smartphones Samsung Touchwiz, which is actively finalized by the company. Let's see how it all looks on this smartphone. Duty desktop.
By the way, pay attention to how long the distance remains between the pictograms and vertically, and horizontally. It really places only 4x4 \u003d 16 icons (without the bottom constant strip), although it would be easily 5x5 \u003d 25 icons on this display. (As, in fact, and done in Huawei Ascend Mate 7.) And this problem is not solved in this shell: it is impossible to change the desktop grid, although it would seem what problem to give such an opportunity? Here, look, desktop with the touchwiz shell pictograms.
However, this is Android, so everything is in our hands. When I realized that I was annoying such a grid, I just put the shell of Nova Launcher and made the grid there, which I was needed. (This is not a final look, just the first betting.) However, there is one problem: the list of applications from Nova in terms of the convenience of selection and sorting is much worse than that of Touchwiz. Therefore, you have to choose - or that or that.
However, back to Touchwiz. To the left of the home screen in Touchwiz is a desktop overview of the BRIEFING-FLIPBOARD aggregator. Personally, I don't need this desktop to the focus, but it is calmly disconnected in the desktop settings.
Second Desktop: Widget S Health and Widget Work Features with Pen - Creating Notes and Drawings, Drawing on Desktop, Removing the screenshots of arbitrary shape and so on.
The area of \u200b\u200bnotifications with fast switches, brightness setup, rapid search by category S Finder and fast connections to compatible devices (TVs, audio devices and so on).
Quick search with the selection by type of data.
A set of fast switches (you can edit it).
Set up fast switches.
The lock screen to which messages about missed calls and messages can be displayed. With the help of a special icon, you can immediately go to the "Camera" application.
Installed in the application system.
Left Screen Button - List List running applications. If multi-color mode is allowed, then special icon appears on top of those applications that can turn into the windows.
Here, for example, one of the window applications ("gallery"). There are options for: moving the window, turning it into an active icon, freely moved by the screen (as in Messenger Facebook), disclosure on the full screen, closing.
Several running window applications.
With a long click on the "Return" button, the panel appears rapid access to window applications.
Application Manager - here you can close unnecessary applicationsConsumer electricity.
Long click on the button last running applications - editing desktops.
Active note is a very interesting thing. When you select an active note, a window appears, with which you can record some text, and then you can hang on it a specific action (special pictogram on the left above): Call the right person, write a person's data, send him SMS / MMS, write a letter, open Link in the browser, find on the map, create a task.
Of course, it works recognition functionAnd it works just great - it will manage to recognize my handwritten text, and I always believed that it is not even for the human intelligence, not the fact that artificial. Here, for example, in the screenshot above the surname and phone number - click Picture "Contacts". We get:
Not bad, yes? If I still wrote a little more clearly - it would also recognize the numbers correctly. The menu item is a smartwater, that is, the choice of an arbitrary rectangular part of the screen, and the screenshot can be simply saved as a picture to the appropriate album, but you can recognize text in it.
And the recognition works very sensibly - here, see.
The third point menu item is cutting and saving an arbitrary area.
Well, the last item is drawing on the screenshot of the screen: the program does a screenshot, then you can make any signature on it and save the screenshot. Also for working with the pen is a very advanced application S Note (it can be called both from the note and pictogram) where you can create notes and recognize the figures, formulas and text there.
In S Note, there are various page templates, and in addition, there are quite a few tools to create advanced drawings.
By the way, the recognition of the handwritten (pen) text works very well, for example, in the calendar S Planner. Who loves to write with your hand - this will like it very much. KeyboardThe keyboard here is originally very good. The key with a point on the right bottom with a long press offers 11 characters that are often needed (punctuation marks and so on), and on the key on the left, where you can also choose different variants, You can deliver the desired character or default action. I put a comma there, which is needed when you enter the text in the form of a separate key, and very satisfied with life. Also, thanks for the top digital row - it is very necessary for the top digital row - it is very, very much. SWYPE (continuous input) is also present here and works very well. In general, the keyboard from the series "even somehow I don't want to change anything."
Favorite contacts are very convenient.
When working with contacts, there is a convenient search, the system is able to find and combine similar contacts, a black list is available.
From the point of view of the telephone application, everything is very cool here. The sound is clear, clean, my subscribers were heard very well. The noise reduction system works very effectively: even in conditions of streets or noisy premises, subscribers said that my voice sounded quite clearly. The volume in the dynamics is excellent. Then, the presence of three microphones has already allowed to add a new mode to the dictoon application - "interview" when the sound recording is made from two microphones located in opposite ends of the smartphone.
But the ability to record telephone conversations here never appeared, which is sorry. However, apparently, it is due to some external restrictions. I have the opportunity to record a conversation with full-time funds, I seem to see only Chinese devices. MessagesSMS / MMS - the application is convenient and very advanced. It is possible to create a list of spammers, blocking messages. But there is no possibility to move some messages to the secret password folder - it happens to many users.
Convenient viewing of images with the ability to edit them.
For a mobile phone, the editor is very good.
There is also a "square" for selecting the best playback mode of certain compositions. On the sound, it, of course, does not affect too much, but nevertheless you can achieve some improvement.
The built-in speaker sounds normally - it does not rattle, the sound is quite clean, although quite flat (as it should be for such small speakers). In the headphones the sound on the four with a minus: the volume is not to say so that very good, bass are deaf with, the tops are good. You can listen to music, but not great compositions, not great. VideoA good video attachment, which, unlike standard android, well understands various codeci-containers.
Everything is reproduced without any jerks and delays, including videos 4k.
I recommend voice prompts to immediately disable, because something like "Here is the weather in Moscow, Moscow, I recommend that the weather in Moscow, I recommend it, I recommend that the phone immediately want to throw about the wall, although it is not to blame . Remote controlSmart Remote application. You can choose genres and set the order of their preferences.
The application displays a local TV program, well, and with a smartphone, you can control the TV / projector.
Setting the remote control of the TV. As a remote, the smartphone works not only with the main brands - there is a hundred there.
Cardiac rhythm measures competently - useful thing.
The contents of oxygen in the blood.
The display besides the standard mode there is a simple - with large pictograms.
Lock mode is a very useful thing.
Private mode is needed for situations where the smartphone gets into other people's hands.
On the "Home" button there is a fingerprint scanner. It works well, but it is necessary to carry a finger, and not to apply it.
I registered a fingerprint and checked how it works. Works without any problems.
Unlocking your fingerprint phone.
Energy saving - works very well.
There is still an emergency energy saving mode when the phone will work two weeks. (I checked - it looks like the truth, I worked in this mode a little over 14 days.) But there are very limited possibilities there.
Memory parameters not loaded device. From 32 GB 24 GB are available - normally.
The smartphone is very fast, smart and never slows down anywhere. And I promised not to remember where and how the iPhone 6 Plus slows down. Camera Very good, simple and convenient interfacedesigned for past models. Everything is simple, easy and understandable: the selection of the mode, photo shoot, video, the choice of destination. From above setting, turn on HDR and changing the camera.
Modes - very diverse, automatic definition The mode works well.
Settings.
Select image size.
Well, the rapid settings that can be edited.
And now - examples of the photo. As usual, they were not processed, only decreased. Clickable - opens in the amount of 1920 horizontally. 
Here on this frame (and on all similar nightfamons), for some reason ISO did not register for some reason. But the result is for the smartphone, as I think more than decent. Well, a couple of video. The first roller is a demonstration of the work of the stabilizer: a very strong wind blew, I was wondering if something would work out there or not.
The second roller is a standard video testing test with a resolution of 3840x2160. Here, too, it is clearly visible how the stabilizer works, it was removed from the hands.
What do you say about the Note 4 camera? In my opinion, she is just great! The quality of the photo and the video gives a wonderful, with focusing almost does not flush, white balance at the height, the software exposes the competent parameters of the shooting - "coarse" never observed, well, well, a very cool camera behaves in insufficient lighting conditions. So just class! Time autonomous work Remembering that such a resolution in LG G3 led to a very modest battery life from quite a capacious battery (but we remember that there is a completely different matrix), I was afraid that Note 4 will be the same problem. , then the battery life is quite decent. The battery is quite pulling. Tests. the Internet. The screen is set to a comfortable 60% brightness without automatic confinement, all wireless networks are enabled, a page is updated every 30 seconds. 12 hours 50 minutes. Excellent, it is even more than Galaxy S5. Video. The screen is set on a comfortable 60% brightness without automatic confinement, the "airplane" mode is turned on, the series is twisted with a resolution of 720x480 with hardware acceleration. Prior to the inclusion of the forced energy saving mode, the smartphone extended almost 13 hours - very good. Practically practically with my usual use when everything is turned on and the energy does not save, the smartphone has lived to the evening somewhere with 40% charge residue. In my mode, it did not live in my two days, but if you use the optimization of energy consumption (and here there are many built-in functions), then two days with active use - it was already quite real. On trips, when the smartphone is used noticeably more, in any case calmly lived full day. So with autonomy here, too, everything is very good, especially considering the resolution of the display. Well, you need to mention the available modes of work in shades of gray (Super AMOLED consumes significantly less energy), as well as emergency mode, in which the phone functions are available and a few more basic features. In emergency mode from one battery charge, the phone is able to live as much as a couple of weeks. (True, it all depends on how much you will enjoy them.) Observation when working and conclusions During testing, the smartphone behaved very stable: no hangs and spontaneous reboots. Even with a strong load (test of all systems), the back cover almost did not heat up. And as a result, we have? Smartphone is simply excellent, and almost in all respects. Yes, it is not suiced, but a similar iPhone is more expensive than 15 thousand, and Note 4 almost all parameters better. I believe that it is now one of the best smartphones On the market, if not the best. Well, I would like to complain about anything - no for what. Great, just fine.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910C - Annual Updating of the "Fablet" line of Galaxy Note. Despite the fact that dimensions first Note. Many have caused laughter, over time, even Apple recognized the success of such a format by releasing its 5.5 inch iPhone 6 Plus. Samsung Galaxy Note 4 looks like Samsung Galaxy Alpha: similar design, metal frame and "discovering" camera lens.
As for the capabilities of the smartphone, then, in our opinion, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is one of the best offers in its category. He has a great QUAD HD display (2560 × 1440 pixels) of incredible clarity, one of the best cameras, enviable battery life (half a day HD video in our tests), wide functionality, the boundaries of which are moving away using a Pen stylus, a powerful stuffing, fingerprint scanner. All this makes Galaxy Note 4 not just a smartphone, but a working machine for solving the widest range of tasks.
Want to make copyright video, steep panoramas or more than just passing pictures - at your service one of the best cameras. Thanks to the multi-zone mode, you can, for example, simultaneously watch movies and read mail. Showing up friends video or high-quality photos will allow wide viewing angles of a bright technological display. To view Full HD video online - in the kit there are high-speed Wi-Fi and LTE Advanced. I wanted to play cool toys - the filling will allow.
Among the flaws of Galaxy Note 4, we note that at the maximum resolution and at the highest settings, new games can slow down in some "heavy" scenes, after all, 3.7 million pixels on the screen make themselves felt. During our two-week test, the smartphone "hung" a couple of times. In addition, the replacement of Micro-USB 3.0 on the more "old" 2.0 looks like a small step back. Also for that kind of money I would like to see protection from water and dust, because on Samsung Galaxy S5 and Samsung Galaxy S5 mini it is.
Summing up, let's say that if you want everything to get everything right away, then Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with a wide functionality - for you. However, in a huge list of settings and functions, you can easily get lost, and a large amount of pre-installed software can annoy many. If you and those who need a premium smartphone, where everything is simple and understandable, then you can take the iPhone 6 Plus. Technologically, the iPhone 6 Plus smartphone is "simpler" almost in all respects, but faster, besides, it is thinner and he has an aluminum case. If you are the owner of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, then do not rush to update and go to a more expensive "four": Full HD display So sufficiently rosary, and the fillings are enough for even at least a year, and the kit also has a stylus.
Dimensions and weight - 3.8
Samsung Galaxy Note 4, like his predecessor, received a diagonal of 5.7 inches. It can be said that at least as long as the growth of diagonals suspended, and what will happen next - we will see next year. Externally, a novelty reminded Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the Samsung Galaxy Alpha designer model. It is on Galaxy Alpha "Obata" new processor, design and metal frame, which are now in service at Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
What has changed, compared to Galaxy Note 3? Speaker over the inscription Samsung became two holes in short. The front panel to the touch with something resembles the laminated Apple iPhone 6 display. On plastic around the display are horizontal lines. The back panel remained "under the skin", but now there are no series of quilts along the edges of the panel. The camera lens also discovers from the housing. Recall that the Galaxy Note 3 lens was visually combined with a common outbreak loop, and drank together from the case. In the new model they "by themselves", and the outbreak no longer "sticking out" from the hull. The position of the dynamics has changed: it is not in the lower end, like the previous model, but on the back. As for the stylus, he remained downstairs.
Separate attention deserves a metal frame that goes along the ends. In general, it is the same as Samsung Galaxy Alpha: near the lower and upper ends it is a little thickened on the sides of the smartphone, near the front and rear panels, the frame is cut and barely climbing the facial part of the device.
SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 4 is a large and heavy device. Its dimensions - 151 × 79 × 8.5 mm, and the weight is 176 grams, which is thicker and slightly heavier than iPhone 6 Plus and Galaxy Note 3. With a 5.7-inch diagonal, it is possible and not to talk about the use of a smartphone with one hand - only with the use of special Smartphone chips, such as a decrease in screen size and the presence of a side panel of the keys. The quality of the assembly at the height - the smartphone is very durable, nothing bends and does not creak. However, in the sample that we bought for tests, the holes of the speaker on the front panel are crooked - not all of them are on one straight line. In principle, this is a trifle, but completely unexpected. We also note that Galaxy Note 4 has not received protection against water and dust.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 can be bought in white, black, gold and pink colors.
Screen - 4.9.
Diagonal display samsung Galaxy Note 4 is 5.7 inches, and with its huge QUAD HD with a resolution of 2560 × 1440 points, the PPI value simply rolls - 515 pixels per inch! Above only at LG G3 and Motorola Droid Turbo, but this is due to the fact that they have fewer pavement displays. In our opinion, such a super accomplishment is already nothing to affect the autonomy of the device.
As usual in the Galaxy Note lineup, the display is used by the Super Amoled type matrix on organic LEDs. Display covered protective glass Gorilla Glass 3 - Yes, he will collect fingerprints, but they can easily drop them. Thanks to Super AMOLED technology, the review angles are very broad. The maximum display brightness in our tests reached 415 kD / m2, given that this display does not need a separate backlight layer and the LEDs themselves are shining, it is high brightness, visually it is extremely born. The display remains readable on the sun, the display is also equipped with the automatic brightness adjustment function. The smartphone supports the mode of operation in gloves. We checked it: the device reacts, even if your hands are in two-layer gloves, answer the street in cold weather to a call or scroll through a pair of screens to read the book or article, is the most.
In addition, there are 4 different screen modes as in many samsung devices With a display of this type: Adaptive, film AMOLED, AMOLED photo and basic. In addition to this, in the settings, it is possible to set up color reproduction, however, we failed: after passing a mini-dough for matching the colors of the icons, the phone issued a message that everything is set up normally and do not need to change anything.
Cameras - 4.9.
According to the results of our tests, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 camera is one of the best today. Compared to its predecessor, sAMSUNG chambers Galaxy Note 4 noticeably "sick" in megapixels. Thus, the main chamber received 16 megapions against 13 on Galaxy Note 3, and the rear - 3.7 against 2 megapixel. Galaxy Note 4 applied new technology Isocell, which forms barriers between pixels, allowing you to get more photons for each pixel.
The camera has a wide range of functions: big choice effects ranging from "fish eye" ending with vintage and sepia, there is also a double neon lights, Autofocus, several shooting modes and optical image stabilization. The camera removes panoramas, there is a HDR mode, face recognition and smiles, parallel photo and video shooting. We can say that there is almost everything, there is not enough virtual effects for entertainment, such as, for example, on Sony Xperia Z3.
Maximum photo resolution - 5312 × 2988 pixels. The quality of the pictures is excellent, especially with good lighting, with poor illumination the camera, in our opinion, is slightly lacking. The camera interface is simple and laconic. In addition to the main chamber, a frontal is installed by 3.7 megapixels with the possibility of automatic shooting when recognizing a smile on the face, you can also shoot panoramic selfie. By the way, 3.7 Mp in the resolution of the camera is not at approximately so many pixels placed on the device display. As for the shooting video, the camera removes video with a resolution of 1440p, under the resolution of its display. Such permission for frontal chamber Very unusually, as a rule, on many smartphones are limited to Full HD video.
The main smartphone camera can shoot 4K video - 3840 × 2160 pixels with a frequency of 30 k / s. In her arsenal, slow motion with Full HD video at a speed of 60 k / s. Slow motion video at 120 or 240 k / s, like Apple iPhone. 6 Plus, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 does not. In the video settings you can enable video stabilization, there is also a tracking autofocus in stock, but if you dramatically move the phone and start shooting objects close, then the camera is reconfigured at the desired distance. In general, the camera takes pictures and video of excellent quality, but only with good lighting.

Working with text - 3.0
The standard keyboard in the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is convenient, it has a text entry function using strokes (swype), as well as a separate row of keys for numbers above the keyboard keyboard. The disadvantage can be called the lack of marking of additional characters and not the most convenient, in our opinion, the switching system between the languages \u200b\u200bwithout a separate key - you have to clamp the "Space" key and to drive. However, perhaps the most inconvenient is the absence of a comma on the "main" keyboard screen, to enter it, you must call an additional menu, or clamp the key with the point and select the comma in the pop-up menu. For lovers of "old" you can choose the keyboard 3 to 4 (12 large icons), you can also configure hot keys - for example, you can enter a predetermined phrase or word by clamping a certain digit.
Internet - 3.0
On the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, a standard Internet browser is preinstalled as a browser with the "Magnifier" function and Google Chrome with support for the synchronization of tabs with a desktop version of the browser. Both browser can scale the page with the text fit under the pre-selected size. There is no separate mode of reading mode of repeated scaling. Chrome may offer traffic control and its reduction by compressing data. In the "native" browser, switching between tabs occurs long due to the specific animation of the tab manager, in Google Chrome, this feature is not noticed.
Communication - 5.0
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 smartphone is equipped with an excellent interface set. The device is available: dual-band Wi-Fi, the ability to act as a Wi-Fi modem, support for high-speed 802.11ac standard, Bluetooth 4.1 with low energy consumption and A2DP profile, A-GPS with support for GLONASS and the Chinese BEIDOU system, as well as chip NFC. and IR port. In Russia, the N910C model with the EXYNOS processor is distributed, it works in LTE networks, but at a speed of up to 150 Mbps (LTE CAT 4), and more perfect in terms of speed model N910S with a processor Qualcomm Snapdragon. 805 in Russia is not for sale, and may not be. It supports 4G, LTE CAT 6 at a speed of up to 300 Mbps.
SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 4 smartphone works with Micro-SIM cards and microSD cards to 128 GB. Interestingly, at the Galaxy Note 3, a high-speed Micro-USB 3.0 connector was used, but here he gave way to Micro-USB 2.0. Is it possible to count this step back? It is possible only if small, Micro-USB 3.0 is not yet so much common, and perhaps the manufacturer considered that such high transmission rates on a USB cable are not needed by a smartphone. Note that the Galaxy Note 4 USB connector supports MHL to transfer high-definition video and USB-Host to connect peripheral devices to the smartphone.
As a result, the novelties have almost everything: high-speed Wi-Fi, LTE, the last Bluetooth and even IR port with NFC. A little sorry that the LTE CAT 6 support version is not supplied to Russia, and the USB connector is "simplified" from version 3.0 to 2.0.
Multimedia - 4.6.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 audio player supports many formats and loses MP3, FLAC, WAV files and a number of less popular formats (EAAC + and AC3). Completely, good headphones with a spare seal are supplied to the smartphone. Built-in video player supports most popular video formats (MP4 / DIVX / XVID / WMV / H.264 codecs), and also works with external subtitles.
Battery - 4.4.
SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 4 has become a bit thick, and the battery capacity is slightly more - 3220 mAh against 3200 mAh Note 3. We tested the phone in our two standard tests - HD video on the maximum brightness and listening to music in the player mode - the mode "on the plane "And in headphones. Smartphone demonstrates excellent autonomous performance. The device losing HD video at the maximum brightness of almost 12.5 hours, about half a day, which is an hour longer than the predecessor. But in the music audition mode with the screen turned off, the device was discharged in 83 hours.
Separately, you can immediately mention two modes of battery savings - standard energy saving with restriction of performance and background data and extreme with the transition to "shades of gray". For the working day of the battery, you will definitely have enough, and maybe a few - it all depends on the script of use. For example, in games the battery sits out almost in front of the eyes. As for charging: from scratch to 50%, it happens very quickly, we did not work out for the promised half an hour, it took a little more time, but still fast enough. However, reaching 50%, the charging process slows down. To charge it from 0 to 100%, we left for 1 hour 40 minutes.
Productivity - 4.0
Exist different versions Samsung Galaxy Note 4, which are characterized by its filling. There is a modification of the N910S on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor with 4 KRAIT 450 kernels, operating at the frequencies to 2.7 GHz and the Adreno 420 graphics accelerator. It is unfortunately not sold in Russia. Our country comes version N910C with an Exynos 5 OCTA 5433 processor, eight-core (four cores with a frequency of up to 1.9 GHz and four to 1.3 GHz) and MALI-T760 graphics accelerator. RAM on both models - 3 GB, built-in - 32 GB. Specifications are impressive, besides, as at Samsung Galaxy Alpha, the chipset is made according to a new standard - technical process 20 nm. In everyday use, the smartphone works quickly, even in our tests he "hung up." As for the Games, the excessive resolution plays not to the hand to the device, even in the Epic Citadel application, it slows down on open spaces at very high settings, FPS falls up to 20 frames per second, which can be seen on the eye, do not expect from the device for such a price.
The device is suitable for most games, but excessively high permission can play a cruel joke, given more than 3.5 million pixels on the display. According to the results of our synthetic tests, the smartphone occupies positions worthy of premium devices. For example, in the benchmark Antutu Samsung Galaxy Note 4 received 50056 points, you can say the record, and in 3D Mark Ice Storm Unlimited - 19754 points, slightly higher than, for example, iPhone 6 Plus. The chipset used in Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is a novelty, and today it is one of the most productive.
Memory - 4.5.
The total amount of integrated memory in Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is limited to 32 GB, about 24.6 GB are available for the user. The smartphone has a microSD memory card slot, supports up to 128 GB cards. There is also the possibility of a "hot replacement" of a memory card, without turning off the device - you only need to remove the device cover.
Features
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has not received a waterproof housing, but it boasts a functional stylus. Perhaps this is the main feature of the model, and the entire line. With it, you can not only write notes, typing texts or draw, what already opens wide opportunities For creativity, as well as perform various commands, for example, quickly create a note, screenshots and crop part of the image by placing inscription on it. There is also an instant viewing feature: if you look at the tip of the stylus to the icon, without touching it, you can view the preview of the picture, see the contact information in phone book etc.
Android 5.0 Lollipop. Traditionally used TouchWiz interface. At first, the smartphone scares a little abundance of the pre-installed software, and an inexperienced user can get lost in the settings that are very much here. Preset applications have a lot, from voice recorder and file manager to pre-installed WhatsApp and Facebook applications. In the corporate shell, all applications are recycled and have an original appearance that has long been almost no change. There are Russian letters in the dialer, which is convenient to search for the right contact.
A feature can also be called the presence of two power saving modes, a number of settings for using a smartphone with one hand (reducing the size of the screen, the side panel of the keys and setting the position of the keyboard, which, in our opinion, does not look very natural and not so convenient). As always, there are many features such as smart shutdown and gestures, smart notifications, smartphone turning, with palm screenshot, multi-plate mode. For those who all these settings and the operating screen layout seem complex and crowded, it is possible to enable "simple mode", which reduces a set of visible settings and icons. Although to start it will also need to be found. And that's not all - there is special abilities For people with weak vision or hearing, such as flash notifications, password sounding and much more.
Summing up It can be said that the Galaxy Note 4 "stuffing" with various functions and features, in our opinion, there is hardly the one who will regularly use at least half of them, however, the choice is always "simple mode".
Competitors
SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 4 Specifications at height. Among competitors no less expensive iPhone 6 Plus and a little more budget novelty Huawei Ascend. Mate 7. The price for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 for November 2014 is 36990 rubles (as well as the recommended price for the iPhone 6 Plus 16 GB).
Apple iPhone 6 Plus - with a smaller diagonal (5.5 inches v. 5.7) a bit "above" than Note 4, while it is thinner and made of aluminum, while Galaxy Note 4 is only a frame, the rest of the plastic case, which In itself is not a minus, but is considered "less prestigious". The display resolution at the Samsung smartphone is significantly higher (2560 × 1440 versus 1920 × 1080 at the iPhone 6 Plus), the viewing angles are also wider, it has a stylus to work with the display, here the iPhone 6 Plus wins only more accurate and natural color reproduction. In terms of performance, Note 4 wins benchmarks, and in everyday use faster than Apple smartphone. By the time of autonomous work, Apple iPhone 6 Plus loses, he also has several "simpler", although with shooting video at a huge speed, up to 240 frames per second. Both smartphones are not protected from water and have a scanner for fingerprints. In terms of Note 4 interfaces, a little more advanced, "Fresh" Bluetooth, LTE CAT 6, working with huge speeds (albeit at the modification that is not yet sold in Russia) and the IR port. Both models have NFC, but in Note 4 it is to exchange data with other devices and payments, and the iPhone 6 Plus is only for your own payment system Apple Pay.. The price of Apple iPhone 6 PLUS is from 36990 rubles and higher.
Huawei Ascend Mate 7 - Aluminum Fablet with a diagonal of 6 inches immediately, its housing is thinner than Note 4, but he himself is larger and a little harder. The Ascend Mate 7 Full HD display, with a lower pixel density, it is also equipped with a fingerprint scanner and has a NFC chip, but it does not have an IR port and high-speed Wi-Fi 802.11ac. Built-in memory - 16 GB or 32 GB in premium modifications, also among the advantages of a very capacious battery. For those who are not afraid to buy an expensive smartphone from Huawei and who do not need a stylus, it's a good alternative, however, while he never appeared in a free sale, and it seems that it will be not much cheaper than Note 4.
Smartphones from the Note series have long ceased to be a pilot project Samsung. They have been produced for the fourth year and are sold successfully. The last model, of course, without avoiding help from the manufacturer, easily won the Olympics in Sochi 2014. It's time for new horizons and new victories. And I want to say, Note 4 it can easily succeed.
Equipment
Delivery is the most ordinary. Here, in addition to the phone itself there is a wired stereo header and a set of additional incubuser to it, a power supply (2a), a microUSB cable and additional rods for the stylus. No additional buns found.
Given that on the test, I only have a smartphone myself, without any accessories coming to it, above you can observe an example photo of the device's configuration from our colleagues - Samsung Tomorrow.
Design and dimensions
The appearance of the device can be characterized by two words: continuity and novelty. The first is that any, even superficially knowledgeable market mobile phones Unmistakably finds out the smartphone from Samsung in a new device. There are all the same rounded faces, the Home button, which is in its native place and, of course, is a branded designation above the display. Purebred Korean!
Novelty is to use materials. Here, almost for the first time, the South Korean manufacturer decided on the use of metal.
Full metal bumper with chopped edges and recesses for a comfortable grip - this is a unambiguous step forward.
In general, the company's marketing policy is actively focused on the premium segment. In Samsung, they want to attract as much fashion person as possible to their side and do not regret it money. Well, the step is very faithful, since the same Instagram is the place where every star can actively vote as themselves and some concomitant success (in understanding the target audience) things.
Yes, and frankly, I want a variety, and not the iPhone magship. Therefore, personally I waited with great interest when Samsung starts to beat the market not only the advanced characteristics of its devices, but also their beautiful design.
Someone may not like appearance New Note, but it seems to me that in this respect he is headed above his predecessor. The only thing that caused bewilderment was the back cover. Her appearance became easier: imitation of seams around the edges disappeared, but such a pleasant, slightly slippery coating, as we saw in S5 or in Alpha, for some reason it did not appear. Sorry.
Once I started, and continue on the back of the apparatus. Here, first of all, it strides significantly discovering the eyes of the main chamber. Right under it is located a small window with a single LED flash, ultraviolet sensor and a heart rate sensor. Below is another branded inscription.
Here, on the rear surface there is a hole for a multimedia speaker. On a soft and militant surface, the sound, of course, is muffled, so it is worth putting a smartphone on a solid plane.
The glass panel on the front side is slightly rounded around the perimeter and goes under the metal frame. The latter has a very pleasant surface, which is also painted in the color of the case: white, black, pink or gold. Another indirect proof of where the Korean Electronics Manufacturer Metit is in Glamor!
The display contains a navigation panel consisting of a sensor multitasking button and a return key. Between them is the physical key "Home". The last embedded dactyloscopic sensor is built, as in the same Galaxy S5. Symbols on this control panel are highlighted by moon color and successfully react not only to the touch of the fingers, but also on the pen s Pen. In my opinion, the approach that Samsung adheres is very correct. Migrating the control key keys to the housing frees the additional work space of the screen.
However, this location of the buttons and the reverse side have. Random clicks that in portrait that in landscape orientation is not uncommon. All this is due to large dimensions. In the same S5 I had no erroneous pressing.
Fingerprint scanner works fine. Dactyloscopic identification can be used to unlock the smartphone and input accounts Websites (only through the built-in browser). If there is a PayPal account, you can buy goods online with one touch of your finger. In my case, the application of this payment system behaved very strange, but I will tell you more about this in the section about the power supply.
The definition of prints occurs quickly and practically no problem. I will say more. If the device does not work out the first time, it is likely to deal with the user who kept his finger on the scanning surface. Such here he is Note 4.
Above the screen for tradition is located (from left to right): Mesh conversational speaker, surrounding light and approximation sensor, gesture sensor, as well as frontal chamber's eyes in the corner itself.
The light sensor as a whole correctly recognizes the change in lighting around and, in accordance with the new conditions, the screen backlight levels. However, occasionally come junk. At such moments, the screen looks too dark and even shifting the slider as much as possible in the direction of the illumination, it does not save. For the next screen activation, the sensor works more correctly.
Frames on the sides of the display thin (slightly more than 3 mm), so at random pressing I never caught myself. By the way, at the expense of very large dimensions to use the smartphone only with one hand you will not work under any circumstances. Always have to either resort to helping the second hand or to software settings. So, a special gesture can be shifted by the keyboard to the side of the screen or generally move the entire active plane of the system closer to its fingers.
In addition to this, there is an opportunity to place a button with quick settings from any of the boundaries. In general, those who need not forgotten.
On the left end of the device there is a twined volume key. It is made of metal and has a clear, confident move. I have not been noticed by my backlash. The right side of the smartphone is equipped with a device awakening a dream.
The bottom edge has a port of MicroUSB, a nest for placing a pen s Pen, as well as two holes for conversational microphones. The latter provide high-quality voice transmission through the operator. By the way, the smartphone has the support of HD Voice technology, which expands the frequency range of the voice operator transmitted over the lines. Of course, it is necessary "blessing" by the cellular company.
On the upper end there is a hole of another microphone, an infrared sensor for managing household appliances and a standard audio jack for headphones.
Since any product from the Note line is variable with vopotary dimensions, it will not be superfluous to take a look at the bulk characteristics of the device and its main competitors.

Display
Objectively key parameter of the smartphone has such characteristics: a diagonal of 5.7 inches or 143.9 mm (12, 6 x 9.2), the resolution of Quad HD or the people of 2560 per 1440 pixels, the density of points per square inch is 515 and then we will stop a little . For comparison, the LG G3 screen has ahead of this value with its 538 pixels. But this is not the end of the game. Special version of the Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A, released for the native market - South Korea, can boast even a large indicator - 577 PPI. Why is it all? This is a race for numbers and no more. QHD - Even this is more than enough for diagonals of screens up to 6-7 inches, and manufacturers, apparently, are not going to dwell on the achieved.
Let's return to Note 4. The basis is used by Super AMOLED matrix, with the deepest black color from possible. As for the rest of the colors, everything is used here for screens from Samsung: bright and very juicy colors, as well as a large contrast of the picture. The backlight level, by the way, is very acceptable and does not burn the eyes on the top value.
The viewing angles are good, however, at any, even a minor deviation, a greenish tint begins to appear on the screen and it is a little upset. Otherwise, see examples of comparative photos (from above Samsung Note 4, below Huawei Honor 6):
You can select one of several pre-installed color settings. So, the default is an adaptive screen parameter, in which the image will automatically adapt to the gallery, video player and other main applications. There are other presets (see Screenshot below):

For other markets (for example, the United States), a different model is available - SM-N910S, on board which the solution from Qualcomm is used as a brain, namely Snapdragon 805 with four KRAIT 450 cores operating at a frequency to 2.7 GHz. In addition to the American (and not only), the Variation of the smartphone is installed by the Adreno 420 video chip and the LTE CAT module 6. The difference between the overseas and our versions is completely insignificant, so it is not worth upset.
Performance
The bandwidth of RAM has increased to 1066 MHz, and the processor has already been built on new 20 nanometer technology, which in theory should ensure the maintenance of performance, but less voracious appetite before the battery charge.
In various benchmark tests, the smartphone shows the maximum results to date. It would be strange to expect anything else.
In the games, the device has shown perfectly. All the last 3D toys fly at the maximum graphics settings. So predictably, as much boring.
As for glitches, lags, brakes in the interface, they are not, except for turning the desktops. It happens that weak slowdowns are noticeable. Unfortunately, for the TouchWiz shell, this is a normal phenomenon.
Otherwise there are no problems. Only once the device, or rather the screen refused to react to any touch. I had to get the stylus, which automatically displays a smartphone from hibernation and to restart the device with it. I did not have any other crime.
As frontal chamber A 3.7-MPIXEL matrix and lens with a diaphragm F / 1.9 are used. Of course, at the moment it is not far from the maximum value. The same Huawei Ascend P7 has a photomoduiler in 8 MPIXELS.
Innovations, mainly two. First, all self portraits can be done using the finger application (which is more convenient) to the heartbeat sensor. The reverse report also begins to work and the camera makes several frames at a time: from 1 to 5, depending on the settings.
The second chip is that you can create group selfie. When you activate this mode and pressing the shutter button (or touching the sensor on the rear panel), the device must be tilted alternately and right and the picture is ready. Examples of the usual autoportist and extended below:
The maximum resolution of photographs from the front photo module is ideal for a smartphone display and is 2560 x 1440 pixels. Video camera takes off in the same ratio.
Main camera smartphone
The resolution of the snapshots with a rear chamber does not exceed 5312 by 2988 points, which corresponds to 16 megapixels. It is possible to install various filters (from sepia to fishing eyes), go to the panorama mode, selective focus, make a virtual tour of the room from several photographs and so on. If you have anything from the last mobile devices From Samsung, I will most likely not notice anything particularly amazing.
Key chamber options are now displayed on a special vertical panel. However, if there is a need for extended management, you can go to the matrix from a variety of different settings.
But not in the number of settings and abundance of various presets salt. The main thing is the quality of photos. And here Note IV has no problems.
In my opinion, this is an uncompromising better photo essay among all the currently existing smartphones.
This is not only my words. As always, I have ready examples of photographs that I did in a wide variety of shooting conditions.
I want to apologize in advance for cloudy photos. In the territory of Central Russia, in recent weeks, a qualitative weather has been established with low and gray clouds, respectively, the photo turned out to be mostly in the same minor. On the other hand, the lack of bright and sufficient lighting (sun) is an excess test for the camera. Baister!
The HDR function is activated directly from the viewfinder - you do not need to go somewhere for its switching. I give examples of the photo with and without a dynamic brightness range.
Next below you will find all the other photos made on the street and indoors with the same bad lighting. With this situation, all the flaws of algorithms for creating and processing images are usually visible, so nothing is embellished and published as it is.
100% crop:
The picture, filmed during the day and even with cloudy weather, but still, with some sufficient light, no one will not surprise anyone. Another thing is the photo performed in the dark. And just here any mobile chamber can be removed on clean water. Let's start with the parameters of photosensitivity.
Settings ISO B. manual mode They can vary from 100 to 800. I propose to look at a composite picture of several images made in bad conditions of lighting and from a tripod.
Now look at the remaining samples that I did on the street and at night.
The machine is very well coped with the task of selecting optimal characteristics. Noise for the most part No, the picture is clear and detailed. The boundaries of objects are not blown away - all within the normal range. The only thing - I recommend to make several identical personnel at once. Even with the disabled setting, the HDR image may be blurred, so it is better not to risk. Still, the night is a test for any camera, and Galaxy Note 4 passed it in general is not bad.
Video device is able to record in the resolution of Ultra HD, i.e. 3840 per 2160 points and with 30 frames per second. Below are some examples of videos, namely, day recording and shooting of the night city. Do not forget to set the corresponding parameters in the roller settings.
Of course, the camera is capable of writing a slow motion video. The speed of objects can slow down eight times.
Did not forget the developers and about the accelerated video. Speed \u200b\u200bis increased eight times. In both cases, the audio flow recording is not conducted.
Software stuff
Traditionally, from the next smartphone of the Note series, we are waiting for something like that. And the fourth version of the smartphone in this regard did not pumped up. Something was already familiar to us and improved, and something just debuted. In general, I will tell about the most interesting chips.
Through simple mode You can start the introduction of people to the "beautiful" Note 4, which are not used to too fidelled devices. In this case, only the most necessary applications and the main contacts will be on the workpies, and the icons will have the highest possible dimensions.
Of course, not anywhere two-poy mode. As before, portrait and landscape orientation is also supported. You can change the scaling of the windows, move them in places and so on. Using the "Move content" tool, you can drop from one window, to the example, from the browser to drag to another - in the message field of some text or picture. In other words, you do not need to resort to the "Cop / Paste" tool.
Training, graphics, counting calories and steps - all this, of course, in its place. And now in Note 4 additional possibilities appeared: measurement of the pulse, oxygen content in the blood and ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. For all these functions, sensors located on the back cover of the smartphone are answered.
It seemed to me, but Samsung Galaxy S5 measured the heartbeat is much better. Heart rhythm scanner In Note 4 some kind of capricious.
It is necessary to really be silent, do not move and preferably not breathe that the pulse check is successful.
It's one thing when you measure heartbeat in a calm state, and completely different when during or after a good workout. Hands and fingers tremble, it's hard to measure and calm down. In general, for sports, it is necessary to buy a special bracelet. Smartphone features for this category of users are not enough.
Lighting devices based on alternating current LEDs find their niche and may come out beyond its limits.
