After all the rumours over the past few weeks and months, it should come as no surprise that Samsung today unveiled the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. It was introduced alongside the Galaxy Note Edge which introduces the curved Edge screen which wraps around to the side to provide easy access to “frequently used apps, alerts and device functionality – even when the cover is closed – all with the swipe of a thumb.”
As expected, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 improves upon its predecessor in a number of ways, including upgrading the 5.7-inch display to WQHD resolution. The cameras have been improved as well. For example, the rear camera now comes with a Smart Optical Image Stabilizer that can counter-balance camera shake and automatically extend exposure time in dark settings. it is also the first mobile device to incorporate a UV sensor. It also sports a metal frame.
On the software side, there are a number of improvements as well. For example, Multi Window has been enhanced and now offers full, split or pop-up screens wjich can be moved and resized.
Samsung has also made further improvements to its S Pen technology which promises a “much more authentic pen experience, with a more natural brush effect that perfectly emulates writing on paper with a fountain or calligraphy pen.”
