Samsung Galaxy Note 4: Most Awaited Phablet

The Galaxy Note 4 debuted with all the bells and whistles it needed at this year's IFA. It is in fact one of the most highly anticipated devices of the year. It sports a metal frame that debuted with the Galaxy Alpha but with faux-leather back (like the Galaxy Note 3) sans the fake stitching. It retains the 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display of its predecessor but now comes with a Quad HD pixel resolution resulting in a whopping pixel density of 515 ppi.

The Galaxy Note 4 is also one of the first few devices to sport a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chipset, which has a quad-core chip clocked at 2.7GHz and an Adreno 420 GPU. This new silicon is designed to handle such high resolution devices. There will be another version of the Galaxy Note 4, which will be powered by Samsung's own Exynos 5433 octa-core chip. There is still 3GB RAM and 32GB/64GB of internal memory, expandable to 128GB via a microSD card.

In the camera department, the Galaxy Note 4 packs a 16-MP sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS). In front is a 3.7-MP camera for selfies. In fact, one can even take selfie panoramas through the phablet's front-facing camera. The Galaxy Note 4 is also equipped with all the usual sensors that smartphones of today have. In addition, it will have the fingerprint sensor and the heart rate monitor that debuted on the Galaxy S5 and the new UV sensor and SpO2 sensor that measures blood oxygen saturation. It is equipped with a 3,220 mAh battery, which will give the new Note a longer battery life than its predecessor. It will also charge faster despite dropping the microUSB 3.0 port, thanks to Quick Charge 2.0, which promises to charge the phablet to 50% of battery capacity in just 30 minutes. Unfortunately, it did not have any form of water or dust resistance. It will be available in four colors: charcoal black, frost white, bronze gold, and blossom pink.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is headed for an October release with a $299 price tag with a 2-year contract. It can cost as much as $750 dollars if bought without a contract.
