At the IFA 2014 in Berlin today, Samsung announced the successor in its line of Note phablet devices.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 doesn’t look much different from its predecessors in terms of design, however there are dozens of improvements on the inside.
The screen size of Note 4 remains the same at 5.7”, but now it packs even more pixels, sporting a Quad HD 2560 x 1440 resolution (which converts to 515ppi pixel density). As usual its a Super AMOLED screen, protected by 2.5D Gorilla Glass 3 layer.
Note 4 isn’t a plastic phone any more, it incorporates the metal frame from Galaxy Alpha, which replaces the chromed plastic used in the earlier editions and gives a more premium feel. The faux leather back remains unchanged, however the stitching pattern is now gone.
Fingerprint scanner and heart rate sensor — first used in Galaxy S5 — are added to Note 4, however it missed the water resistance feature once again. This Samsung Galaxy Note 4 also brings a redesigned S Pen stylus, which offer improved sensitivity and better grip.
On the inside Note 4 is powered by a quad-core 2.7GHz Snapdragon 805 processor, Adreno 420 GPU, 3GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage with an option to expand it via microSD card.
For some markets — including Pakistan — a separate version will be launched featuring 64-bit octa-core 1.9GHz Exynos 5433 processor with Mali-T760 GPU.
The camera department has been upgraded as well with a 16-megapixel primary sensor and optical image stabilization. It can record 4K videos and the software UI has also been improved. On the front there is a secondary 3.7-megapixel sensor with a large f/1.9 aperture.
Note 4 is powered by a 3220mAh removable battery, which supports Adaptive fast charging and Quick charge 2.0. It reduces the charging time and phone gets 50% charge in just 30 minutes with selected AC adapter, just like VOOC in Oppo phones which goes 75% in 30 minutes.
On the software side, the newest Note 4 runs on Android KitKat 4.4.4 along with Samsung’s proprietary TouchWiz on top of it. The interface has been tweaked a little and the built in applications like S Health and S Note are also improved.
Samsung said that the Galaxy Note 4 will be available in select markets during October, but the pricing details haven’t been announced yet. Keeping the past experiences in mind, we can assume that this device will make its way to Pakistan’s market in late December.

khwar log
then what are u doing here.. get out
Sick of these Large Plates -_-
Not impressed.
Meh. Waiting for the Lumia 730 and 830 announcement from Microsoft. And more info about Windows 9.
So wait there what you want, end of life phones :P
I have no idea what you just said. Bhai angreji nai ati to Urdu me bol do.
tmhare lye MS ne lumia nikal dia he jakr khelo or zada smjhne ki try mt kro….
I was seriously waiting for this,,, but as far as I am concerned,,, NOTE 3 looks better and there are no significant improvements as compared to the previous version.
I am staying with my Note 3
I think u r non technical person and judge phone by looks, like iphone users, LOL …. Do you really what are improvements? :D
you are free to think whatever you want my friend, and i really mean no offense by saying that :)
But i do know how i use my phone and whatever features or functions i want in my phone… u cannot judge ones usage by a single comment.
I can tell you the whole detail but that will be a waste of my time as well as yours…
and as far as your comment is concerned… if you could just tell me one real life usage improvement in comparison to note 3 then I am ready to take my statement back.
heart rate sensor and finger print reader are the two changes and yes the screen resolution as well… but i already cannot find any pixels with a naked eye at a reasonable distance so how can that improve my usage experience?
and the heart rate sensor is in initial stages and its accuracy is also not that perfect…
and the fingerprint reader… as far as i am concerned if i have to swipe my finger on the sensor,,, then i can also draw the pattern,,, so what will be the difference actually ? :)
processor is a bit enhanced but then it will loaded with more bloatware by samsung and its touchwiz so in real life it wont show much difference or improvement in the actual usage
so my friend… yes maybe i am just a normal user who does not know the improvement and is judging the fone by its looks, because i dont find anything else to compare it with :)
you can also compare both in a glance by clicking on the following link:

and then tell me what really is the difference ! :)
Ultra Power Saving Mode, isn’t that real life usage improvement? You gets more juice out of your battery with this mode. Now don’t comes up with an argument that it doesn’t work. Try it, Believe me its worth it
You can’t get more juice out of a battery than what is rated for. It’s not magic. It’s just able to last longer by basically turning your smartphone into a dumbphone because the only thing it’s good for in that mode is for calls and texts. You’re better off keeping a cheap secondary phone for emergencies than spending thousands of rupees on this.
Your reply clearly shows that you have never used Ultra power saving mode in Galaxy S5.
Ultra power saving mode don’t turn your phone into dumb phone, you can make calls, send text msgs, use wifi just like you use normally in regular mode.
Very simple simple answer to you is LOL….
People use android phones comparative to iphone dumb users who don’t know features. Just to give you clue, it has two versions, qualcom and exynos. I am glad to say exynos is first 64bit android phone now and made history unlock world if u can imagine !
Bhai rehm. Tumhari angreji parh kar tabiat kharab hone lagti hai. Just to give *you* a clue, exynos is not a phone, it’s an chip. And it’s not the first 64bit ARM chip either. That was Apple A7. And being 64bit is nothing groundbreaking. Until our phones have at least 4GB of memory and all apps are written for 64bit processers, it’s actually more of a bottleneck than useful in real world scenario.
lgta he tu koi indian he jsko urdu b ni ati or yaha p me clue derha hon document writing ni krha. tmhare lye kch special ni he tu khd kch ejad kr k btade. mene bat android 64bit ki he bech me A7 le ae. tm jese apne khol me znda hote hen, tmhare dil ki bat pori na ho tu rone lgte hen. apna 4gb ram ka rona apne pas rkho, agr ram ka rona hota tu apple 64bit ko nikalta jb k apple tu abtk 2gb ram p he. jb bat smjh na ae tu bech me na aya kro or 32 or 64 bit ki perf chek kro, tmhara nam b sahi he, Jack of all master of none !
Ram 4 gb hai
So all the internet talking about having 4GB RAM were just rumors :(

Must say, now Samsung Mobiles are going to down-fall.. coz after Galaxy S4 & Galaxy S5 loose the customer perfect impact, they don’t know what to do in next. Galaxy S5 is one of the main cell, who mostly failed the customer satisfaction par level and bundle of bugs in the phone. Galaxy S3 is the one of the best ever phone by Samsung franchise.
You are wrong i am using galaxy s4 it is good infact best smartphone.Also there products are not that as you state.
Go home Samdung! You’re drunk on China ki Booz…
