Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Review, Specs and Features: Launches First in the U.S. and U.K.
Samsung has launched the Galaxy Note 4 for its U.S. and U.K. customers on Oct. 17 as pre-orders began in September. The smartphone rests at a retail price of $749 in the U.S, while it goes for £600 in the U.K.
Thr Galaxy Note 4 offers a 2K resolution display with a pixel density of 515 pixels per square inch, Stuff reported. The phablet features a 2.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor running on Android Kitkat 4.4.
Packed with 3GB of RAM, it is reported to optimize speed and performance with little compromise to its battery life. Although it is not up to par with Apple's iPhone 6 Plus' superior battery life, it is the best one yet for a 2K phone.
The Galaxy Note 4 has a 5.7-inch 2K display and a 16MP camera, which is equipped with optical image stabilization for outstanding display and crisp image quality, according to CNET. It is sure to stand out in a crowd with its stylus, the S-Pen; no other major competitor's phone offers a stylus.
Samsung broke away from the traditional Sony sensor, which the company used in its older models, and revealed that the Galaxy Note 4 has upgraded its camera sensor with Sony's IMX240 camera sensor. Android Headlines reported that the change is due to Samsung's limited low light phone camera capabilities, although CNET reviewed that it still lacks the image quality it has promised.
The Korean-based company revealed Wednesday at a press conference in Singapore that the Galaxy Note 4 will roll out to Asian countries as early as Oct. 11.
Samsung first marketed the phone in Singapore on Oct. 11, followed by Thailand on Oct. 13, Myanmar on Oct. 15, Cambodia on Oct. 17. It will be available in Vietnam on Friday, and in Laos, Indonesia, and the Philippines on Saturday.
