The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is an Android phablet smartphone produced by Samsung Electronics. The Galaxy Note 4 was unveiled during a Samsung press conference at IFA Berlin on 3 September 2014 and was released globally in October 2014.[1] It serves as the immediate successor to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
Specifications
Hardware
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 features a 2560×1440 Quad HD (QHD) WQ HD Super AMOLED 5.7-inch display, which provides a pixel density of 515 ppi (pixels-per-inch). The Note 4 comes in two variants, one powered by a 2.7 GHz quad-core 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 1.9 GHz, and four Cortex-A53 cores at 1.3 GHz. The GPU in charge in the Exynos chipset is the Mali-T760.[2] Both variants come with 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM and 32GB of internal memory.[3] Samsung touted new S-Pen features including tilt and rotation recognition[4] but these features are either not implemented or not supported.[5] The Note 4's back-cover has a strong resemblance to the Note 3, with a faux leather texture (although without the simulated stitching). Note 4 has a new aluminium frame design, bearing resemblance from the Samsung Galaxy Alpha. Criticism has been aimed at the lack of IP67 certification (water and dust resistance), which is present in Samsung's other flagship, the Galaxy S5.
The Note 4 features a USB 2.0 charging port instead of USB 3.0 (as was in the Note 3 and S5), in favor of a new feature called Fast Charge, which Samsung claims can charge the phone from 0% to 50% in about 30 minutes. It features some unique sensors such as a UV sensor and heart-rate monitor, among other, more common sensors.
Software
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comes with the latest version of Google's mobile operating system Android, specifically KitKat 4.4.4, with its user interface modified with Samsung's custom skin named TouchWiz Nature UX 3.0. However, it will reportedly be updated to the newest version of Android, Android Lollipop, by early December 2014.[6] The Note 4 contains most of the original Note's software features and functionalities, but also adds more significant upgrades from the predecessors, such as a new multitasking interface, expanded S-Pen functions, and gestures and refreshed menus and icons.
Camera
The main (rear-facing) camera is a 16 MP autofocus camera, featuring Smart OIS (Optical Image Stabilization + software image stabilisation).4K video recording at 30fps and 1080p video recording at 60fps and also it has 120fps slow motion video recording in 720p resolution. The secondary (front-facing) camera is a 3.7 MP camera with an f1.9 aperture that can record 2560x1440 QHD videos and capture wide-angle pictures.
Plug-in for Samsung VR
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 can be plugged into the Samsung Gear VR headset, which was created in partnership with Oculus VR. [7]

[The S-Pen] didn't properly mimic the behavior of the old-school ink and paper; doing the same brush strokes at the same angles and with the same amount of pressure produced entirely different results. Lines were light where they should've been heavy, and vice versa.
