Samsung’s premium phablet the Galaxy Note 4 was unveiled at the IFA consumer electronicsshow in Berlin. The company also announced a new version of the Note, the Note Edge. So what are the specifications of the Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge like? We take a quick look. Interestingly, the Note 4 can also be paired with the Samsung Gear Virtual Reality Headset.
Screen
As the rumour mills had predicted, Samsung has given this smartphone a Quad-HD display with a 2560×1440 p resolution on a Super AMOLED screen. The screen is 5.7-inches in size which is the same as the Galaxy Note 3. Samsung has just boosted the pixels on this one and the pixel density has gone up from 386 ppi in Note 3 to an astounding 515 ppi. The display on the Note 4 is a Super AMOLED, and it’s covered by 2.5D Gorilla Glass 3.
Where the Note Edge is concerned, it has a 5.6-inch screen but the resolution is Quad HD+ at 2560 x 1440 + 160. (It has 160 pixels extra) The name of the device comes from the screen, where the right edge of the screen folds to cover the side of the device. Basically on this curved edge of the smartphone, users get quick access to frequently used apps, alerts and device functionality – even when the cover is closed or the screen is locked.
Processor, RAM, Memory Space
Like the Note 3, the Note also comes in two processor versions, one with a 2.7 GHz quad-core one and another with an 1.9 GHz Octa-core processor. The quad-core one is with Snapdragon 805 chipset, which brings LTE Cat 6 support and the Octa-core processor has Samsung’s Exynos 5433 chipset and LTE Cat 4 connectivity. The Galaxy Note Edge is only coming in one version with a 2.7 GHz quad-core processor.
Both smartphones comes with 3 GB of RAM. In terms of memory space, the Note 4 will come only in a 32 GB version, while the Note Edge will have a 32 and 64 GB version. Both smartphones will support microSD upto 64 GB. It is strange Samsung hasn’t launched a 64 GB version of the Note 4.
The OS is Android 4.4 (KitKat) along with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI as well.
