This smartphone is size. And also the challenge for Samsung. With its fourth edition of the Galaxy Note, the Korean manufacturer has to maintain its position of absolute master of Phablet. A market it created from scratch and is now attacked by many competitors. Even Apple, yet historically attached to the small screen, has taken the plunge last September with his iPhone 6 Plus. MetroNews has tested and give you his opinion.

► The
With its 5.7-inch diagonal and high definition 2560 x 1440 pixels, the panel used by Samsung eyeful. The measurements made by many specialized sites that show in particular has excellent retention (time display persistence of the image) of only 7 ms, enough to make it imperceptible. The definition is itself not to perceive with the naked eye, what to get a perfect comfort read. Finally, with such a screen play or watch a movie that is more comfortable!
► Design
Not easy to make as big a sexy device (15 cm high and almost 8 cm wide). So far, Samsung has still managed with a little flashy approach. Note 4 to this, the brand has had the good idea to inspire the design of the Galaxy Alpha rather than the Galaxy S5. The result is a much more simple device, with a sleek all-aluminum tower. The back is still plastic, but again the texture of leather rather than false seams not very successful Galaxy Note 3.
► The pen
It would infuriate Steve Jobs who swore by a controllable tactile interface with the fingers. However, the S-Pen Galaxy Note 4 is very effective. Designed from Wacom technology, it doubles the number of pressure points, which goes from 1 024-2 048. This allows the line to thicken or to refine more precisely according to the pressure on with screen. The result is a whole string of features: taking notes by hand, drawing, handwriting recognition and even conversion into text file
We did not like
► The handwriting recognition
It could be the “killer app” of the Note 4. Do not having to use the keyboard to enter text, but simply use the stylus to write. We must recognize that in use, it still has to adapt to the system that is struggling to deal with the continuous writing. We must go carefully, sentence by sentence.
► The fingerprint reader
Still practice to unlock the screen or authenticate some services, such as PayPal, the reader is still perfectible. For his fingerprints are recognized, it is necessary that his finger slides along its entire length, in the face of the center button. Unable to holding the Note 4 with one hand.
RESULTS
more powerful, more beautiful and independent (almost two days in standard use), the Galaxy Note 4 is an undeniable success. Very efficient and practical, it also excels in photo and video. Still, it does not offer a clear break with the Note 3. Those with its predecessor will continue to use it without too much frustration. Those who want to splurge on a Phablet for the first time will now be able to choose between the iPhone 6 Plus and Note 4; by far the two best models in the market.
