Phandroid Review from LYN Forumer » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE Hi guys. Have been living with Note 4 yesterday before the sale in morning. So my review. SCREEN: Samsung ma. AMOLED screen is always beautiful. Amazingly vivid and colourful. And that 2K display is just perfect. SPEAKER: Quite good and louder than the Note 3. But the bass at the flat side. BATTERY: One word. Amazing.Unplugged from 9 am yesterday until 2 am today finally battery is dead. So cannot give screenshot. Sorry. SOT is at almost 5 hours. S PEN: Since much higher sensitivity, much easier to write than the Note 3. You can almost write like you are writing on a piece of paper. CAMERA: Night shot is quite amazing. And good quality also. For me la. Much better than the Note 3. FAST CHARGING: Yup confirm is there for Exynos version UI FEATURES: Really fast and fluid but I feel there is something missing from the Note 3 like the Glance View, Air Answer. But the interface have been cleaned really good and really like the new TouchWiz. GEAR S: This phone really should pair with the watch to get the best experience. It seems that the Gear S really compliments the Note 4. BUILD: My set is Made in Korea and I really like the metal body. It seems like I'm holding a phone that is better than the iPhone 5S. And it is really premium and solid. But the black paint on the side kinda ruins the design of the phone a little bit. The back is the same feeling as the Note 3 without the fake leather stitching. So this is my short review on the Note 4. If want to ask any questions. Just ask me okay. And what I know that our phone is 64-bit certified? Exynos 7 Octa. From Sammobile. QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Oct 18 2014, 12:56 PM) My short review (in summary): Performance - the best QHD resolution phone I tested so far. Smoothness 95% as they is still slightly 3 seconds delay opening recent apps, the briefing add on is not well done especially the open effect, it is not pull out but jump out. Hmm... sometimes they is still slightly jittering when minimise apps and also during scrolling 2nd apps under multi window. Real Camera - extremely awesome, I believe the best so far in day light, night shoot wise second best. Today later will do some comparison with iPhone 6 plus. The taken time is extremely fast, no single delay event at night. Front camera - great for selfie, bright and clear. The wide selfie wise is not as easier to use as promote. Screen quality - I give 95% as well. If you dimmer down the screen then you will notice they is slightly color shift at bottom part at white background. It is more easier to see the wave on bottom end when you put the phone horizontally and look closer to eye. I check others demo set at CS and all same. Please don't purposely check it if you never seen it. But this is by far much much better than my previous Note 3 AMOLED screen. Beside this, the screen is absolutely awesome! The best AMOLED screen I ever seen and use. QHD resolution - is this gimmick? Hardly to said, seriously I can't spot any differences compare with FHD. Oops! It is not like HD to FHD that kind of big differences wow! Battery Life - surprisingly great! At least the SOT is better than Note 3. Touchwiz UI - the best ever by Samsung. Flat nice design and finally can put folder inside apps drawer everywhere back not like initial release in S5 UI which can't. They is two draw back compare with S5. Why Samsung remove the color selection for folder! Also the new briefing is badly implement compare with S5 one. Beside this please implement way for disable or moving to bottom the S Finder and Quick Connect at notification, it is annoying as sometimes I do accidentally click it when clicking the clear button. Samsung widget - I love all the Samsung widget, this time all well done with flat look semi transparency especially the main clock weather widget. Bloatware - I don't find any extra Bloatware this time. Those keep complaining Samsung is bloat shall really go check it out before judge. Also if you use China phone especially Xiaomi then you will know what is really call bloat. Loud Speaker - far louder and better than Note 3 but put back at real is really a big wrong decision. Why oh why you move from previous great bottom location to real. Now I truly miss my HTC One M8 awesome stereo loud speaker. IN OVERALL I GIVE SCORES OF 95%. QUOTE(Arvinaaaaa @ Oct 18 2014, 02:14 PM) ok, here is my review of the note 4 (unbiased review) and i wont talk about the gear s here as i already talk bout it in a review b4 this body design and gap gate: -metal frame makes the phone more solid, but come on, u r going to put a case so it doesnt make a HUGE difference - although the gapgate is not as severe they those haters told, its still there...and after 2 days of usage, i notice some dust particle in the gap. nothing new since i own the s3 before this buttons -solid. end of story display -samsung is clearly the winner here with the gorgeous display -but 2k display is really over kill..i can even distinguish 2k with full hd..and i dont see the use of 2k display at the moment..maybe in future yes. extra features -fingerprint, heart rate sensor, uv, and infrared is a warm welcome to the note 4, but i think most wont even bother to use those features except the fingetprint. (like me ) UI -SAMSUNG clearly made a lighter version of the ui..but still, they could have take out alot of thing to make it lighter and better AS BELOW (IMO LA) -flipboard briefing, -s finder -quick connect -pen.up -and those google softwares like play game, newsstand, playbook etc etc Camera -im not a experienced camera tester..but i know that the night shots are not that good(see the pics i posted in this thread). samsung should tune the hdr feature better other minor features -speaker could have been better. -all those smart features and those motion features better disable to increase battery life. -not a fan of the camera bulging out because now i need to get a thicker case battery -certainly better than note 3 spen? i rather use my fingers Video » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « pv2xZ4A8fmA SnebnztBXac RMzd-hLkhMs -sGgkqwoGsU Compare against other flagship / ex flagship » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « pmBY6WTcwAo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rbJPRZoq8g Miss the unpacked event episode 2 2014 ?
