Samsung Galaxy Note 4 charcoal black

Product Information

These are two huge improvements to the way Multi Window works, but it still comes down to being a relatively niche feature that only works with some apps. Opening up my Recents list right now I have six apps that work with Multi Window, but also nine that do not. The micro USB 3.0 charging port is gone, just as it is on the Galaxy Alpha. The Note 3 was one of the first phones to support the new faster data-transfer technology, which increases the rate of recharging. If there was a Samsung phone where the technology made sense, it was the Note, so it’s strange to see Samsung has dropped it.

And saying all of that without mentioning the camera is somewhat burying the lead. Samsung has taken a camera combination that produces some of the best daylight shots with easy-to-handle software, and added OIS to markedly improve low-light performance and smooth out video recording. And while it's far from perfect, there are many points of this camera to be excited about.

Inevitably comparisons are going to be made with the iPhone 6 Plus and having had the big iPhone to compare, the Apple smartphone is taller and wider but slimmer than the Note 4. The curved sides on the Apple make it slightly nicer to grip, but both designs have their good and bad points.
