Samsung Galaxy Note 4 review: Priced dearly at Rs 58,300, but offers excellent performance and battery life

 

The Galaxy Note series heralded what we now know as the phablet category. Currently in the fourth generation, the Samsung Galaxy Note series has tasted success with every generation. While the Note 4 maintains the same screen size as its predecessor, it has bumped up the resolution to 2560×1440 pixels instead of the full HD resolution seen on Note 3. Apart from this there have been many more improvements. Let us find out.

Build and Design: 8/10

The Note series from Samsung is renowned for its larger-than-life sized phones, so much so that the Note series was single-handedly responsible for the phablet category. For the purpose of this review, we will stick to the term smartphone. It feels like Samsung has finally paid heed to what consumers have been demanding, if only partially. One of the main grouse most users had against Samsung was its use of plastic in the build material. With the Note 4, Samsung has introduced a metallic element which forms a frame around the phone on all sides, which is chamfered around its edges which ensures that there are no sharp edges. The other purpose of the chamfered edges is assisting with easy grip of the Note 4.

It still continues to use the faux-leather plastic back cover which has a slightly better feel than the one on the Galaxy S5. The edges are flat except for the mild slopes which makes the edge protrude out a bit on the top and bottom. The volume rocker button is placed on the left hand side and the power/standby button is on the right hand side. These buttons too have chamfered edges which nicely complement the sides.

There is a slight curvature on the rear side at the base of the phone. On the rear you have the 16MP camera placed on top below which is the LED flash unit and the heart rate monitor. This is followed by an embossed Samsung logo and at the lower left hand corner you’ll find two slits for the speaker section.

Coming to the front, you have a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection for the Quad HD Super AMOLED display. Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has a slim bezel on the sides as well as on the top and button which helps keep the height of the phone under check. On the top you have the audio speaker section beside which you see two black dots – the proximity sensor whereas the front facing camera is located on the right hand edge. The home button located below is slightly raised from the plane of the phone. It acts as a finger print scanner and is surrounded by the back and multi-tasking soft keys.

Under the base of the Note 4 on the right hand side, you have the section which houses the S-Pen. It has a plastic shiny top and a textured stem which ends in the nib of the S-Pen. There is button just above the nib, to activate the S-pen air command.

 

Features: 8.5/10

Considering this is the flagship Samsung product, it houses the top of the line specifications. For starters it is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 system on chip which houses four Krait 450 processors clocked at 2.65GHz along with Adreno 420 GPU clocked at 600 MHz. This is paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage of which 7.34GB is used for system memory. On the camera front you have a 16MP rear camera and a 3.7MP front-facing camera. Samsung has carried forward the heart-rate monitor which was seen on the Samsung Galaxy S5, on to the Note 4.

It supports quad band 2G and 3G. Also in circles where applicable, the Note 4 is compliant with 4G LTE (Cat 6 speeds). On the connectivity front, it supports 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, NFC, Bluetooth v4.1 and an IR blaster. It houses a range of sensors such as an accelerometer, a gyroscope, RGB ambient light, a proximity sensor, a barometer, fingerprint scanner and a heart rate monitor.
