I've talked about the overall lens + sensor pixel-level resolution (that is, pixel-level quality), which largely depends on the lens quality. And while the mainstream audience was still mostly interested in the Galaxy S flagship line, the Galaxy Note established itself as a viable alternative for those who wanted a Galaxy S with more of everything. GHz, which is the same processor cluster sold for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in markets that mostly use or only have 3G (such as HSUPA and HSPA), and/or '2G', such as unaltered GSM and CDMA networks, similar to how the Galaxy Note 3 is sold.Samsung has once again worked to improve the S Health application that comes with TouchWiz Android, and we have to say that S Health is really becoming a comprehensive and useful tool for people who practice any fitness activities. When you do come to charge it the Note 4 also supports fast charging, so you don’t have to wait hours to refuel it. All in all, currently, you should only want to bother with "Snap camera HDR" and only if you're lucky to have a Snapdragon 805-based Note4.

There are Windows phones that shoot raw, there's the new Android Panasonic 1" smartphone that shoots raw. It's also no longer the newest flagship in Samsung's fleet with the introduction of the Galaxy Note 5, while the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge provide the most cutting edge tech and an improved design. inch display, it's actually taller than the Note 4 - something else the Samsung has over its Apple rival as it makes the phone more balanced in the hand. If you like using a stylus, then it’s the best one you can find on a phone, although we’d like to see Samsung do a little more to help find those S Pen-friendly apps. Most will likely use it a couple of times and then safely leave it in the slot, but scribbling on notes could be useful for some.

The pen itself isn't uncomfortably small, but it would have been better if it was a bit bigger – closer to the size of a real pen. this comment just shows you don't appear to use many smartphones, otherwise you'd know that it's impossible to fine-tune exposure in the same way as you can do with a DSLR.

With the wireless charging rear cover accessory, which exists in both a plain rear cover form factor and an S View flip cover (or S Charger View) form factor, the battery can be charged wirelessly using Qi technology. It feels solid and the best made of Samsung’s smartphones to date - a big improvement over the Note 3 and the Galaxy S5.

Well, it seems like that time has finally come, as our scientific measurements of the Galaxy Note 4's screen indicate that its 'Basic' mode successfully adjusts the 5.

GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chipset with Adreno 420 GPU, the other powered by Samsung's ARMv8-A Exynos 7 Octa SoC with two clusters of four cores; four Cortex-A57 cores at 1. Even though it can't quite measure up to the best of its rivals out there in terms of maximum nits when displaying pure white (that's our standard way of measuring screen brightness), the screen is quite comfortable to view under bright daylight, due to its low reflectance, and ability to crank the brightness up, when display content that features areas of varying colors – i. Contrast and brightness remain high when you view the screen from an angle, but unfortunately, there's an unpleasant shift in colors which make them much colder than they otherwise are. We experimented with the camera's performance when taking stills and video, and had a play with the device's many special feature modes.

Aside from doing some trivial things like counting your steps or letting you track your calorie intake, S Health can now measure the UV radiation from the sun, as well as the oxygen saturation in your blood, in addition to measuring your heart rate. We already said that the attachment mechanism is pretty decent, though not great, and the ergonomics of the pen are also fairly good, but what about its functionality? The big screen makes the phone difficult to hold and use in one hand; the plastic, fake leather back and hard edges provide a reassuring grip, but even with Samsung’s one-handed mode it isn’t a satisfying experience.
