FINALLY Samsung's Galaxy Note 4 is OUT!!!!! the phablet is refined

This is Samsung's best bet against a big-screened iPhone

Samsung has launched the Galaxy Note 4 at its pre-IFA 2014 event, Samsung Unpacked 2014 Episode 2. Samsung also launched a unique smartphone with a side display called the Galaxy Note Edge.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comes with the new S Pen stylus with improved pressure sensitivity, as well as the new Smart Select feature, apart from the new calligraphy and signing pen writing options.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 runs on Android 4.4 KitKat, and features a 5.7-inch Quad-HD (1440x2560 pixel) Super AMOLED display with a pixel density of 515ppi. It weighs in at 176 grams, and is 8.5mm-thick.

The Galaxy Note 4 will be made available in 4G LTE and 4G LTE Cat.6 (LTE Advanced) variants depending on the region. The processor will be either a 2.7GHz quad-core processor, or a 1.9GHz octa-core (1.9GHz quad-core + 1.3GHz quad-Core) processor. Both feature 3GB of RAM.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 features a 16-megapixel autofocus rear camera with Smart OIS, and a 3.7-megapixel front-facing camera with a f/1.9 lens. It comes with 32GB of built-in storage, and expandability via microSD card (up to 64GB). Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/ b/ g/ n/ ac, GPS/ Glonass, NFC, Bluetooth v 4., IR LED, USB 2.0, and MHL 3.0.

Sensors onboard the Galaxy Note 4 include an accelerometer, geo-magnetic, gyroscope, RGB, IR-LED, proximity, barometer, hall sensor, finger scanner, UV, heart rate monitor. It features a 3220mAh battery.

Samsung is also touting the Multi-Window feature available from the Recent button.

The Galaxy Note 4 will be available in Charcoal Black, Frost White, Bronze Gold, and Blossom Pink in global markets starting October.

The biggest update to the Note 4 comes in the new metal band that wraps around the frame of the phone. First seen on the Galaxy Alpha announced a few weeks ago, the metal band replaces the cheesy, chromed plastic used on the Note 3. The band has sculpted, chamfered edges and greatly improves both the look and feel of the Note 4 over its predecessor. It seems like a minor change on paper, but in person, the Note 4 feels much more substantial and nicer in your hand, even though it doesn't weigh appreciably more than the Note 3. For the first time ever, I can't say a Samsung smartphone is plasticky, and that's a wonderful thing.

The back of the phone is largely the same, with a textured, soft-touch leather-like finish. Mercifully, Samsung has ditched the faux stitching that was on the Note 3. Overall, the Note 4 feels like a better Note 3, which isn't really a bad thing. And if you look at it straight on from the front, it's hard to tell it apart from last year's model.FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, YOU CAN'T CALL THIS SAMSUNG PHONE 'PLASTICKY'

The new, quad HD Super AMOLED display is predictably stunning, with vibrant colors, exceptionally wide viewing angles, and no visible pixels. In my brief time with the Note 4, the display appeared brighter and more vibrant than the LG G3's screen, which has the same 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution. We'll have to wait until we have a review unit to determine how well it fares in sunlight or how accurate the colors on it actually are.
