5 Galaxy Note vs Galaxy Note 4: What are the differences? – Mobile Xpert

   

Yesterday Samsung launched the Galaxy Note 5 UNPACKED during the 2015 event, continuing its line of Galaxy Note phablets. The device comes with a visual proposal very similar to the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, and brings a design with more features, more modern, thinner, however, less compatible with some features that many users liked, which left many people wondering: Is it worth upgrading? After all, the notebook marks a new era for Samsung, which just killed, altogether, support for microSD cards and removable batteries in their high-end smartphones. Considering the possible doubt that the Galaxy Note 4 owners may have regarding the upgrade, the site AndroidCentral decided to raise some points of comparison both positive and negative between the new version of the Galaxy Note:

   
   

       [ Updated Hardware and design ]
   

   
   

At first, it is obvious that Samsung has decided to radically change the design of the Note, when we put both side-by-side devices. Despite having nearly identical measures, the Note 5 has noticeably thinner edges and body entirely of metal, however, to make this possible, compromises had to be made. The visual language at the edges, arrangement of antennas, and even the language of the TouchWiz interface are now in sync with the latest top of the line South Korean, the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. Instead of beveled side, we now have angular edges, which can further help in ergonomics when holding the device.

The back of the device is now covered in glass, rather than plastic, but despite ” upgrade “in the material, there was a” downgrade “in the category” repairability “or” practical “because now you can no longer highlight the rear to access the part of the battery. The MicroSD card slot is also gone, and sure enough, these are the two main complaints for users who are considering upgrading the Note 4 to 5. The screen continues to have the same size, but now has in curved glass finish on side, which leaves the unit with a more modern air (and less compatible with various protective films).

Still talking about hardware, the stylus, which Samsung calls the S-Pen, is still there But much more interesting than the old version; Now you can have access to it just by pushing it so that it is ejected, otherwise the previous one, she needed the user to plucked using your nail, which had just leaving a portion thereof exposed, joining grease, dust, bacteria and God knows what else. With this new ejection mechanism, Samsung claims that the system will detect more quickly when the accessory is not present. Finally, the biometric reader on the device now has the same mechanism presented in the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, that is, it is much more reliable than the previous version, eliminating the user skidding on its digital sensor for it to be detected.

The internal components of the Galaxy Note 5 are notably better than the note 4, and can even leave the S6 back at some aspects. The processor is up to an octa-core Exynos chip (now no more option to choose from Exynos and Qualcomm, that not last version) Ram 4GB (3GB instead of the previous version), Battery 3000 mAh (that has a new quick charging technology without wire, compatible with the Qi standards and Powermat), and the duty of audiophiles, there is also a noticeable improvement in audio playback, you can, this time, play files with 192kHz / 24bit, it would also improve the quality of Bluetooth for streaming audio, supporting formats of 96kHz / 24bit.

The screen is still 5.7 inches and resolution Quad-HD (2560×1440) as well as the old model. The panel remains Super AMOLED, trademark bright colors and deep blacks, which pleases even the most demanding users in image quality.

   
   

       [ A new Software ]
   

   
   

The Galaxy Note comes with Android 5.1 5 factory, along with the new version of TouchWiz interface, which now are lighter, with less bloatware, as presented in the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. There is a stark difference when we compare the version of the Galaxy Note 4 but in fact, which makes it clear that the device is, in fact, a little more productive than its predecessor, are the new features of the S-Pen, which were combined some aspects of the high-end of the South Korean.

Air Command has a new interface, and the ability to customize the shortcuts in the “launcher” thus users They can put your favorite applications on the tip of the pen without using any additional software. When not enabled, the feature sinks into a small bubble, which makes it even easier to access. For those who usually write down enough, we have great news: you can write down even with the screen turned off! All thanks to a new form of notes implemented in the system.
