On Hand: Galaxy Note 4 – Info Online

When we use the expression “a solution looking for a problem,” usually referring to a useless innovation. But the fact is that the “problems” of a market are often unknown or at least uncertain. Who could have predicted that the movement started by the first Galaxy Note would make Sir Jony Ive surrendered to the big screen? Three years later, the Galaxy Note 4 continues to surprise to extend the concept of the original machine with multiple hardware and software features that take advantage of the extra screen space.

The most obvious novelty introduced by Note 4 is the edge aluminum surrounding the unit. The addition is subtle, but the reflective surface of the metal produces a very different visual effect than previous models offered. Hold the machine is also a different experience. He seems to be more solid and now you can clearly feel the transition between the aluminum and the glass, which may displease some users accustomed to the smooth plastic. Although this structure approximating Note 4 of devices like the iPhone and HTC One, the back of synthetic leather maintains the previous version.

The design changes are interesting, but it is easy to completely forget about them once the device is connected. The SAMOLED 5.7 “screen grabs the attention of any person immediately. With the S5 Galaxy, Samsung has proved that it is possible to make an OLED panel with color fidelity. The 4 Note is a larger version of that success. Another point that has changed is the pixel density, which jumped from 386 PPI to 515 PPI with a resolution of 1440 x 2560. The principle is difficult to see the difference in sharpness between this screen a common 1080p panel. However, she has a clear advantage in the context of another Samsung product, the fitting of virtual reality VR Gear, who uses the screen as Note 4.

In addition to the improvements in image quality, the display Note 4 differs from the previous one by integrating a much more sophisticated system scanning. The new device is able to distinguish between 2048 levels of pressure ring, which improves the accuracy of the trace when the user is using the S Pen stylus that traditionally accompanies the line appliances. This extra precision was used by the Software Notice. Pen AS assumes a number of functions depending on the context in which the user employs, but in general, it acts in a similar manner to a mouse. The most obvious way to use it is drawing, but it is also useful to select icons and text, eg

But the most useful of the new stylus is a feature called “smart selection”. Basically, Samsung is using the vast processing power of the Exynos 7 Octa that inhabits Note 4 to run a system of recognition of text and image. Say for example, you select a text field with email and phone. The phone automatically recognizes these elements and offers to store them in the contacts or make a call immediately.

This ability extends even to the camera. Within the notes S Note application can trigger a photo mode that is intended to capture information from a whiteboard, for example. When you shoot a written text, Note 4 is able to recognize words and turns them into an editable format.

Finally, the new device got a camera module very similar to the Galaxy S5, with 16MP resolution and autofocus system for phase detection. The front camera, moreover, became even better. She won a sensor with more resolution (3.7 MP) and a widest aperture lens (f / 1.9).

At least on paper, this unit has everything to be the best smartphone big screen in the market today. Our first impression is already very good, but we still need to conduct many tests to come to a final conclusion. The Note 4 is being launched in Brazil tonight and its price in the domestic market will be 2899 dollars.
