But for what it is, the product is reasonably sized. There's not much Samsung can do to remedy that, although it manages to trim down the Note's width with each new iteration. Not everyone will like the fit and feel, simply because it is indeed a large handset. The only drawback to holding Samsung's new device is the edges, which feel a tad sharper when I wrap my fingers around them.
GALAXY NOTE 4 SMART SCROLL PLUS
I can't say the same about the Note's new competitor, the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus with a large bezel, rounded sides and a slippery aluminum build, it's tougher to hang onto with one hand than the Note. That said, the new Note has an even bigger screen and I can still hold the device without hand fatigue (in which my hand gets tired after holding the phone for a while) or accidentally dropping it. That title rests with the LG G3, a 5.5-inch device with an arched back and thin sides that help it rest naturally in my hand - it doesn't feel as large as it really is. The Note 4 isn't the most comfortable large-screened phone to hold with one hand, but it comes in second place.
Slightly noticeable when the two devices are compared side by side, perhaps, but otherwise a wash when it comes to the in-hand experience I probably wouldn't be able to pick out which one was which if I were blindfolded. It's 2.3mm taller, 0.6mm narrower and 0.2mm thicker than the Note 3 and, at 176 grams, it's also 8g heavier. Now you can have the best of both worlds.įortunately, Samsung pulled off this new design without adding much bulk. After all, most all-metal phones don't come with removable backs, and that's one of Samsung's biggest strengths for as long as I can remember, the company has allowed users to swap batteries and add external storage via microSD slots underneath the back cover. Samsung's been opposed to using metal of any kind in its phones for years, and building a device with aluminum on the sides and plastic on the back is a solid compromise that makes it plenty durable. Only the sides and edges of the Note 4 are aluminum, while the remainder of the phone is built with polycarbonate. The Note 4 resolves those problems with aluminum sides, chamfered edges and smooth curves, and has a much more elegant appearance as a result. The ribbed chrome sides, the pointless stitches and the larger-than-life connector port at the bottom made it look cheaper than it needed to be. Its predecessor, last year's Note 3, was a big step in the right direction, featuring a bigger screen and fashionable leather-like back. Thanks to the company's love of consistency, the Note 4 uses the same overall design and is just as aesthetically appealing as its smaller sibling.
In my review of the Galaxy Alpha, I declared it was the most beautiful Samsung phone I'd ever seen.
