what's up everyone John renter from TechnoBuffalo here's an unboxing of the latest iteration of a lot of people's favorite phablet this is one of the originals in the market this is the Galaxy Note 4 brings a lot of improvements over the previous iteration it's got a qHD screen it's got some new design cues and it's got a lot of new software and hardware under the hood let's go ahead and unbox it you take a first look so we are unboxing the ATT unit this was sent to us from the folks at Samsung a typical 18 T box picture of the device on the bottom it just the orange and whites that we know and love still had been broken I've seen the Samsung folks put a sim card in here for us and there is the Galaxy Note 4 feels really nice it feels very different than the note 3 which will bring in in just a minute we've got a QuickStart guide for of course getting started quickly how to use the S Pen and all the Air Command features that are going to be built in digging into the rest of the box we've got a manual home to that all that often anymore some stuff for milk music micro SD cable and the now ubiquitous samsung white wall work and that is it's not a headphone or any other accessory to be found so here is the Galaxy Note 4 code and peel us off here and get that whooshing noise that a love kind of got it there feels really really different and by different I mean um feels more premium with the really thick metal bands around the side it's very reminiscent of the Galaxy alpha which we'll bring in in just a moment let me go ahead and power this guy on and we'll run through the specs so the first thing you're going to see light up is a 5.7 inch screen you're probably saying John that's the same size the last gen and you would be correct but there are many many more pixels in here it is now 2560 by 1440 which means not only is it qHD it also has a ppi a 515 the screen here looks absolutely gorgeous I do want to test it a bit more with pictures and video and 4k stuff to see how it how it looks but on first blush it looks just like a really good 1080p screen same questions I had when I saw the LG g3 screen for the first time Android 4.4 at launch there depending on what version you get what country you'll get either get a 2.7 gigahertz quad-core processor or an octa-core processor which is going to be 2 quad cores one's going to be 1.9 and one is going to be 1.3 it's gonna vary by country in the US so we're just gonna have the quad core variant we've got three gigs of ram 32 gigs of storage but it is expandable you've got a 16 megapixel camera living right there on the back and now has optical image stabilization which is quite nice I got the flash and heart rate sensor sort of combo we saw introduced on the galaxy s5 sort of an ugly megapixel up three point seven megapixel sensor right up on the front into 211 ABG and in DC bluetooth 4.1 and a beastly 3200 20 milliamp hour battery so quick tour device here it's gonna be very familiar if use any recent Samsung devices we've got a home button in the middle which feels really nice in the hand it's sort of hard thing to say but it's got much more tactile feel to it flanked by two capacitive buttons you've got a back button and you're a multitasking button if we go ahead a look at the right-hand side power and lock button on the left hand side we've got volume up and down it's a single button with the top and bottom are a bit more pronounced so you can feel the difference between at the two on the top that's sort of an odd bit of a hump there which is housing 3.5 millimeter headset jack noise cancelling mic and an IR blaster you've got the 3.5 milimeter headset jack on the bottom microphones and the s-pen lives in exactly the same spot and looks pretty identical to the galaxy s3 take a look at some of the soft we're gonna have on board here we've got a lot of AT&T stuff built in here almost the whole first screen is all 18 key business keeps scrolling along she's also gonna be on board you've got Instagram now shipping you've got mobile hotspot mobile TV play games and some of the Samsung Apps they included on now all the devices uber is built right in and usage manager and soon to be renamed Isis wallet I believe they change the name to soft card I think appropriately enough so the big deal here I think is the screen the design so thinking about the Galaxy Note 3 you're probably thinking hey that also kind of had a metal band so you can see right here does not feel the same at all this felts kind of cheap this feels really solid like you're holding a premium phone the back is also improved it sort of has that same fake leather look we saw with the note 3 you don't have those fake stitches but it feels much better than the material on the note 3 it's a little more tactile and almost feel soft touch it just feels really nice Samsung is definitely stepping up their design game let's bring in what I think was really a design inspiration for the note 4 this is the Galaxy alpha looks almost like a mini version of the note 4 they look really identical on how very similar feels to them so you can see those two side-by-side and the last let's bring in the iPhone 6 plus with its 5.5 inch screen versus a 5.7 on the note 4 and you would think the note 4 would be a bigger device it's got that point 2 inch larger screen you would be incorrect if we sort of put these two right on top of each other you can see that in fact the 6 plus is the larger phone and the width looks to be very very similar so take that for whatever it is worth case you are debating which larger screen phablet you want it to get we're gonna use this device and do some first impressions with it and they'll let you do we think until
