hello everyone I'm Taylor with PocketNow and we are here in Berlin and Samsung's unpacked event Episode two or it just announced its newest flagship the creme de la creme the Galaxy Note 4 which is a phone that many of us have been looking forward to and Samsung confirmed many of the things that we've been anticipating about this new Galaxy Note the design is updated not totally redesigned like Samsung is saying but it does have the middle trim like we saw with the Galaxy alpha and it also has those weird bubble radius corners that we're not completely sure about or sold on yet but being the note this one also still has the leather like back which is rubberized and around front it pretty much looks the same but the home button is now a fingerprint scanner which we could have guessed and the task switcher button has replaced the old Menu button other than that the display is the same size but the resolution has been bumped to quad-hd and it's still a Super AMOLED panel so it's gonna pop and have really deep blacks and just look good all around and trust us it does pressure sensitivity has also been bumped up for the S Pen now to 2048 which is double what it was before and higher than pretty much anything else on the market like it the cameras have also been increased the rear camera is now 16 megapixels and it's smart OS so you do have optical image stabilization there instead of just software stabilization and the front camera is a 90 degree wide angle F 1.9 3.7 megapixel camera so that's a really good improvement there for front-facing cameras and taking selfies and whatnot other than that they're no radical changes inside you get a quad-core CPU at 2.7 gigahertz we imagine that'll be divided between a snapdragon and an X and O's chip you get Android KitKat onboard 4.4 3 gigabytes of RAM 32 gigabytes of internal storage and now you have a three thousand two hundred and twenty milliamp hour battery but it comes with fast charging and it's supposed to charge roughly 50 percent faster than before they were saying roughly 50% in 30 minutes so that's pretty impressive there are also some changes here with the software S Pen features have been upgraded so you now have a smart select option which will let you quickly add a different screen captures together it's very helpful and very useful and it's very very easy to use and that's good the interface has been kind of lightened a little bit as well so we're very happy to see that you know the widgets are more transparent the task switching menu looks more like Android L and all around it's looking much better and much cleaner but it's still not the best-looking operating system out there but it's it's getting there Samsung is making an effort to make it more like stock and that's a very good thing the other thing is multi-window it's been heavily changed and altered and now you can go seamlessly between having a split pane view and having a floating window and dragging and dropping and you can use your S Pen to hold the back button to activate that so you can you don't ever have to put the s-pen down just to activate multi window so so far we're very pleased with everything we've seen the design is much more like material design the foam looks and feels better the internals are better the camera is allegedly better and it has pretty much the best of everything across the board so if you're an enthusiast looking for the best of the best Samsung believes this is going to be it and we're inclined so far we can't say for sure yet but so far this is a pretty impressive handset the only thing we would note is that it does not have any sort of IP certifications that we saw it will come in four different color options black white gold and pink and the metal trim around the edges will match whatever color you choose so there's a lot of cool stuff going on here and we're really excited to get our hands on with the Galaxy Note 4 for sure so stay tuned for that and stay tuned for more coverage here in Berlin at Aoife with pocket now I'm Taylor Martin thanks for watching you
