– By Vincent P.

XG For / Against - Note testing Initiated for twelve Xbox Gamer, heading for the fortnightly / Counter is back this Sunday. As a reminder, the principle is simple, we are on the mat a specific topic, we explain what it is in a few lines and we try to define the least subjectively possible every positive and negative elements associated with it. For this third issue, we propose to talk about the note that accompanies the critics of video games, it is often at the root of heated debate. Its legitimacy has often been questioned, but some can not without, it also remains a weighty commercial argument for publishers … In short, it’s time to make a point! Of course, you will find below for thought and we are waiting for you in the comments to support the debate to which we will actively participate!



 
 

 

 

 

note, what is it?

The question seems silly, everyone knowing what a note, but it is good to clarify that it is primarily a brief mention of accompanying critical highlighting the positive and negative elements of critical game. It may take the form of a numerical rating on a base 5, 10, 20 or 100, or a pictorial notation (number of stars, inches, square, etc.). It thus reflects the estimated quality of the game and / or the interest that can be said as, according to the editorial line of the site.

  It provides visibility in the press reviews

This is an easily identifiable item

The publishers are still attached quite there, as many readers

It helps push at the click when the note is mentioned on the site off the page of the Review

C is the element that generates the most responses on the site having given or other


  This is subject to some subjectivity

This is a cleaving element, even when the players share the same opinion that the tester

That does not mean much out of context (note she represents the interest in the game or the balance between the positive and negative aspects – with or without weighting – What really taken into account elements)

It is difficult? determine the accuracy of the note (/ 5, / 10, / 20, / 100 …)

It attracts more attention than the full review which is sometimes / often unread

Many editors are asking the question of the legitimacy of the note, as it can be misinterpreted and / or cause strong reactions from readers who do not sometimes take the time to read the review published detailed support which helps to explain the choice of notation with respect to elements identified. Failing to present reasons for their disagreement with the tester and share their views, readers concerned only stop on the note, sometimes up to criticize openly and more or less strongly the tester. Some editors have chosen to do without but many are still attached to the legacy of the past, not to mention the fact that publishers continue to show interest, as many readers. As for Xbox Gamer, the system is at present kept even if we regularly forgive the subject up in-house … until it evolves?

The Galaxy Note EDGE finally pre-order from 765 €! – Touch Tablet

Intriguing, unnecessary or even revolutionary, the Galaxy Note EDGE has spilled much ink since its release by its innovative character. It is now available for pre-order in France at several retailers.

His fate was uncertain since the very beginning. At its first appearance during the presentation of the Galaxy Note 4 Note the EDGE seemed primarily to be a prototype to demonstrate the technological capabilities of Samsung, in order to announce the imminent arrival of smartphones with curved screens. Marketing was still uncertain until recently where Samsung has confirmed the arrival of the Galaxy Note EDGE on the French market. pre-order at Rue du Commerce Purchase or Top to nearly € 849, the Galaxy Note EDGE itself as a high-end smartphone with the relatively attractive technical form while providing a curved portion screen, can be used as Quick Launch bar or center of notifications.

Galaxy Note 4: 7 version Exynos Octa uses a photo sensor … – Phonandroid

During his iFixit removal surgery last month, it was discovered that the Galaxy Note 4 is fitted to a Sony IMX240 image sensor 16 Megapixels and Korean had decided not to wear his photo sensor ISOCELL, opened earlier this year by the Galaxy S5, on his last Phablet.

Both among the best image sensors on the market, it was not, strictly speaking, a problem, but in reality, only the 805 version of Snapdragon is concerned. As we are learning our American colleagues PhoneArena, the Version 7 Exynos Octa Galaxy Note 4 is a team of Samsung photo sensor ISOCELL 16 Megapixels .

In contrast to iFixit, to achieve this, the US site will not have to disassemble but simply to make device in the hidden from Phablet menu . Accessible by entering the # command # 34971539 directly into the phone dialer, this menu provides the user with various information, including those relating to the embedded camera sensor model.

So , by visiting the hidden menu Galaxy Note 4 Snapdragon 805 , we see that the mentioned photo sensor is the famous Sony IMX240. If, however, we try the same experiment with the model Exynos Octa 7, we obtain the SLSI_S5K2P2_FIMC_IS reference. Then, just éffectuer a little research on the net and compare with the reference of the photo sensor ISOCELL Galaxy S5 (- LSI_S5K2P2XX) to find that in reality it is the same

. a subject on which Samsung has never officially expressed , the Korean who was content to achieve, at the beginning, a small survey aimed at establishing the main reasons to users appreciated as the sensor photo of the Galaxy Note 4 without ever specifying one time he was not the same across markets

Testing the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, the best Android Phablet of … – Mensquare

Check out our full review of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Finish screen, photo, power, … South Korean Phablet under scrutiny.

Phablet impressive size, and for good reason. These XXL screens required, to the point of becoming beasts disproportionate in the eyes of the most reluctant consumers. However, Samsung has managed to impose its Galaxy Note line brilliantly, to the point that each new iteration flows like hotcakes.

But the years pass and the rules of the game change. Competition wakes up and encroach on the flat strips of the Galaxy Note. For example, we think LG LG G3 and above all – much more dangerous – to Apple and its iPhone 6 Plus. Samsung now has to juggle swift opponents where it reigned supreme there is not even two years. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has no room for error, more than any other mobile in the range. His predecessors had the chance to be alone on the market, he will have to fight to protect his throne

A Samsung Galaxy Note 4 wins elegance

The first grip not mistaken, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 finally starting to have that high-end look that one expected range. No more false seams Note 3 and ugly seams Galaxy S5, the hull of Note 4 is much more sober. The massive camera block gave way to a clean configuration closer to the S5. The sensor is out of the flash and the heart rate, still accessory. The phone of the basin is flanked by a small speaker.

 test-samsung-galaxy-note-4

Like Galaxy S5, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is equipped with a heart rate monitor.

Again and again plastic

The shell always has a slight effect that leather does not fool anyone, the back of Note 4 is plastic and it shows. One always regrets the absence of aluminum for a product of this caliber, but nevermind. After all, the plastic has certain advantages that no metal. The shell is removable for example, which provides access to the battery and ports for micro-SIM and micro SD cards.

Plastic or not, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 took a little overweight. It weighs 176 grams where the Galaxy Note 3 weighed 168. Similarly, it is 8.5 mm thick, against 8.3 mm for the Note 3. Nothing too serious.



A metallic finish better effect

The smartphone slices participate significantly to the aspect of “premium” in Note 4. They walk in the footsteps of Samsung Galaxy Alpha and are now rimmed metal. Matt and beveled, they have the color of the model concerned. In other words: black, white, pink or gold. The volume buttons and power – respectively placed to the left and right of the beast – also benefit from this aluminum finish, colored in the center. The compartment for the S Pen stylus has not moved one iota. It is still under the Phablet alongside the micro-USB port. Samsung has also backtracked on that point since the USB 3.0 port on the Galaxy Note 3 to simply disappeared. Too bad. For its part, the upper part of the phone is embellished with a fairly prominent curved headphone output.

5.7 inch QHD resolution … the point on the screen of the Note 4

Phablet forces, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is illustrated by a large slab of 5.7 inches. The bezel, the area between the screen and the edges, is very fine. We are not yet at the stage of borderless but we must recognize that the loss of space is minimal. The glass is slightly domed and offers pleasant sensations, but the bevelled edges are too sharp tasks. The slab is also completely dominated by the edges so that there is a small vacant space between. One point that contrasts a bit with the high-end positioning of the Phablet. That said, the gap does not collect dust and other environmental waste. The panel is protected against scratches by Gorilla Glass Corning 3 solution.



A transition to the Quad-HD

With the Galaxy Note 4 range passes the course of the Quad-HD, a definition of 2560 x 1440 well above the Full HD (1,920 x 1,080). In fact, the quality gain is far from obvious on a phone screen diagonal. The QHD is especially necessary as a selling point to lure the onlooker. However, we will not blame Samsung Note 4 to provide its latest technologies on the market. The QHD is a good point but is clearly not a factor that justifies itself only buying the Phablet.

Note that the qHD screen Galaxy Note 4 folds needs Samsung Gear VR, a virtual reality helmet developed in partnership with Oculus. This technology requires extremely high definition, so the QHD. Also, this type of screen can make sense if we take the helmet compatibility into account.



Perfect black but saturated colors

Anyway, the rendering of the screen of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is really excellent. The fineness of display is to die for – hard not being with 515 dpi – and pure black of the Super AMOLED still have not found any competitor worthy of the name. The colors are bright, sometimes too much – a habit Samsung. Some will like, others less. A passage from the Settings to set different screen mode adjusts preferences. The adaptive mode by default has a huge color saturation while the “Basic” mode offers a more natural.



A fingerprint reader improved, but …

The lower part of the front is always rewarded the fingerprint reader on the Samsung unveiled Galaxy S5. The recognition is much better, which is not a luxury. Difficult to say whether this is because of the larger size of the sensor or through Samsung improvements. Nevertheless, the reader still merely a vertical recognition, forcing her to drag up and down finger. A system less intuitive than the Touch Apple ID, especially since it is impossible to handle with one hand because of Phablet format. A back sensor such as the HTC One Max would surely be more appropriate.

Unboxing-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4-Photos_16

A S Pen stylus more responsive than ever

The S Pen Samsung Galaxy Note 4 still signed Wacom and a continuation of that of the Note 3. Personally, I find it too late and I preferred the S Pen pencil feel of Galaxy Note 2. However, its effectiveness is not to discuss. The sensitivity is impressive, the stylus is spotted before even touching the screen. According to Samsung, it has 2048 pressure points, twice the S Pen Galaxy Note 3. Write with the stylus Rating 4 is a real pleasure. However, we remain skeptical about its real utility for an individual. This practice shows to record shopping once a week and keep the kids in the doctor’s waiting room, but will remain housed in its compartment most of the time.



A new Air Command function

We find the famous button that activates the Air Command function. A kind of circular pop-up that appears on the target location by the stylus and offers different options, most of which are already known to aficionados of the rating scale. Action Memo to open a notepad page to capture a screenshot image and video capture only part of the screen. We also notice a new feature: Power Select. It allows you to capture a screen area and then annotate or otherwise interesting, recover to text words marked on the image. Scanner to practice a page of a book, for example

The Smart Selection in pictures.

A strong data sheet

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is powered by a Snapdragon processor 805 2.7GHz quad-core Krait with 450 in its European version at least. It is supported by 3 GB of RAM and Adreno 420 graphics chip, a luxury that few smartphones can boast. In fact, the Galaxy Note 4 allows you to play any games without fear of any latency. From our side, we have submitted to several demanding titles such as Real Racing 3, Asphalt 8 , Nova 3 and Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour . No problems at all. The config ‘rating allows an exemplary fluidity, besides the 5.7 inch screen is particularly suited to the games.

 test-samsung-galaxy-note-4

The internal storage is 32 GB, expandable to 128 GB using a micro SD card. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is obviously with all the rigor of connectivity – Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, 3G / 4G LTE (in theory Note 4 4G + is even compatible), etc. Only downside, the Phablet does not meet the standard and IPXX is not waterproof, unlike the Samsung Galaxy S5.

 test-samsung-galaxy-note-4

Benchmark Results AnTuTu left GeekBench 3 right.

test-samsung-galaxy-note-4

High Quality on the benchmark Epic Citadel . Where is the Ultra High Quality ?



Two days of autonomy

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 carries a battery of 3220 mAh, 20 more than the Galaxy Note 3. It allows to hold two days full service – SMS pinch, a web ladle, spoon music, advanced games, etc. Regardless of the use that is made, the Note 4 survives at least one day. We tried to sink the energy to play shots but nothing, he held the day.

To give you an idea, the battery melted by 12% after 50 minutes of YouTube video – this one if you want to know. – via WiFi, with the monitor on, brightness at max and headphones plugged

50% battery in 45 minutes

The new version TouchWiz integrated in Note 4 provides a mode “Ultra Power Saving” in addition to “Power Saver” classic mode. It allows to cash three days without flinching, convenient when traveling to a place where outlets are few.

Samsung has developed a magazine called “Fast Charge” extremely effective. It allows to recover 50% of battery in 45 minutes, more than enough to keep the day. Perfect for short recharging in public place.



A TouchWiz overlay to tame

The Galaxy Note 4 runs on Android 4.4.4 KitKat literally obliterated by the Samsung TouchWiz coating. This is probably the overcoat that lends the most controversial. Some love it, others hate it. Those who love the ecosystem offered by previous South Korean models should be thrilled, others will get their money.

 test-samsung-galaxy-note-4

I personally am not a fan of TouchWiz. I find the overcoat too complicated, too overloaded. It offers very advanced possibilities but poorly taught. Yet it is clear that Samsung has done a bit of storage at the output of the S5. The TouchWiz Rating 4 is in this line there. The set is colorful, more pleasant than qu’avançaient in their time Galaxy S3 and S4. The application store Samsung Apps is still trying to overshadow the Play Store, in vain. Ultimately, TouchWiz delight those who are patient enough to tame. The grip is not as fast as 8 or even iOS HTC Sense, but the horizon of possibilities of the Samsung ecosystem can be worth it. Remains to be seen what will after going through the mill of Android 5.0 Lollipop, the new version of the OS Google.



A camera lens that flatters external

Samsung did not bother to equip its Galaxy Note 4 ISOCELL sensor Galaxy S5. The Phablet handed a Sony IMX240 target of 16 megapixels now flanked by an optical stabilizer, which does not displease. The front panel sports a 3.7 megapixel sensor, enough for a few selfies and occasional video conferences.

The performance is total when the ambient light is good. Outdoors in all. Shooting is almost instantaneous and rendering impressive fidelity. The multitude of modes offered by Samsung is a real asset and it is not uncommon to take the game from the budding photographer. Nevertheless, the results are much less successful in the interiors where light is missing. The clichés are sometimes blurred, often dull.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is able to shoot in 4K, but without the optical stabilizer. Nothing really annoying since the interest of a 4K video is still quite limited – you need a compatible TV. – And the quality 1080p videos is very ample for the common man

From 749 euros

The Samsung Galaxy Note is sold 4 749 euros. Samsung reimburses 70 euros for all purchases made between October 11 and November 30, 2014

Phablet available in four colors. Charcoal Black, Frost White, Blossom Pink and Bronze Gold (either black, white, pink and gold)

Conclusion:. the best Android Phablet 2014

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is the first representative of the range to justify its price a truly premium design. We do not touch yet perfect (plastic shell gap between the screen and the edges), but Samsung has certainly made an effort on the finish. Finished seams imitation Note 3 and coarse stitching Galaxy S5, they say hello to the metallized slices Galaxy Alpha. The Rating 4 can claim the title of best upscale Phablet without having to blush before finishing a iPhone 6 Plus.

The Galaxy Note 4 no shortage of arguments to seduce. A beautiful 5.7-inch qHD display, a data sheet to rival competition, exemplary autonomy, S Pen more responsive than ever, etc. Samsung leaves no room for doubt, its Galaxy Note 4 is indeed the best Android Phablet 2014. It must be said that competition is not yet well developed, but this does not detract from the south feat Korean.

Stylus requires the Note 4 is particularly intended for professionals looking for a productive and powerful machine. However, it is quite possible to convince an individual if indeed he thought to use the S Pen, whose real utility depends mostly everyone does use his mobile phone. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is a great choice for anyone who wants to afford a high-end Phablet without skimping on price. However, it does not, in our view, a renewal for the happy owners of a Galaxy Note 3 or even a Galaxy Note 2

We like.

  • its beautiful 5.7-inch qHD display
  • The sumptuous black Super AMOLED
  • design finally worthy of the high-end
  • its raw power
  • the S Pen
  • the consequent self-dubbed the “Fast Charge” charger
  • impeccable camera lens outdoor

We do not like:

  • Its plastic shell
  • This curious gap between the slab and the slices
  • A recessed photo sensor in low light conditions
  • The TouchWiz overlay, but everything is matter of taste
  • The absence sealing
  • The fingerprint reader impractical
  • The disappearance UBS 3.0 port, why?

 As with every mobile emblematic exit, it is the turn of the Nexus 6 to pass between the clamps and precision screwdrivers laboratory iFixit. The phablet Google designed by Motorola honorably spent dismantling tests, to obtain a score of 7/10. However, the fact that some elements (SIM reader buzzer, speaker) are soldered directly to the motherboard and the touch part is nested with 5.96-inch screen narrowed the note.

On the other hand, the technicians at iFixit have considered it rather easy to replace certain elements of the phone (camera, buttons, jack, etc.) in case of failure or degradation of these. Overall, the Nexus 6 has a note roughly equivalent to the Nexus 4 and 5, which also went on the iFixit disassembly bench. (EP)

Carole Sirou “The rating of France is extremely high” – ladepeche.fr

The Standard & amp Europe President; Poor’s, Carol Sirou, in Toulouse today. The rating agency welcomes the commitment to reforms and rules out any threat to the French debt

The president of the rating agency Standard & amp.; Poor’s for Europe, Carol Sirou will be in Toulouse today. Invited as part of the “Forum Economic Recovery

and Financing” *, organized by the University Dauphine DFA and Toulouse Business School, she will speak alongside the Standard & amp chief European economist; Poor’s, Jean-Michel Six. The occasion for the famous rating agency to make a point on the French economy.



A rise in interest rates would make it unsustainable French debt?

Carol Sirou : France has a level and a high debt service but thanks to low interest rates, the country enjoys a break. The risk related to interest rates is real. Is it likely? This is a real risk, but we do not think in the short term material. I recall that France is rated AA with a negative outlook, which remains extremely high notes reflecting strong fundamentals even if there is pressure on the national debt. The next update of the notes will be held in April.

JM. Six: You can not answer the question of the French rate without taking into account the European monetary context. French debt is very liquid and attractive and this in a European monetary framework that offers significant guarantees. Mario Draghi, the ECB president warned that any attack against the European debt would be defended.



Will The rise in US interest rates announced consequences in Europe?

JM. Six : The US Fed plans to raise rates as the recovery phase is confirmed. So she stopped its purchases of securities in the market and interest rates will rise, in our mid 2015. A rise in US long rates results in a 1% increase in long rates in Europe of 0.5%. Mario Draghi will do its best to contain the increase in order to limit the impact on our economies.



What will be the growth in France in 2015?

Carol Sirou We expect less than 1%, between 0.8 and 0.9%. Two major sectors of our economy, building and automotive, are stopped while other European countries are restarted.



Why this discrepancy?

JM. Six : France is the only country where fiscal adjustment was mainly achieved through tax increases. This sharp increase in the tax burden caused consequences for household consumption and business investment. Despite the ads, economic agents fear of further increases in 2015 which paralyzed the recovery.



What are the structural reforms needed in France?

Carol Sirou : It is not our role to give advice on public policy. We note, however, progress on the labor market with the laws of 2013 and the particular responsibility pact.

Each new year that passes for three years is synonymous with a new iteration of the Galaxy Note range. Thus, 2014 was the year of birth Samsung Galaxy Note 4, the direct successor of the Galaxy Note 3.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in the footsteps of his older brother. The relationship is obvious even if he dropped the faux leather shell to prefer a more traditional plastic liner. That said, the sensations of Note 3 can be found through the S View Cover, removable faux leather shell sold separately. Phone contours are still aluminum, which gives it a certain premium look. Of course, the inevitable S Pen Wacom always answers now.

A large qHD screen of 5.7 inches

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is wearing a large Super AMOLED screen 5.7 inch Phablet oblige. The range passes the definition QHD (2560 x 1440), a minor advantage in this screen size. The Quad HD is still far from relegating HD Full shelved. Finally, we will not complain either

Some might be frightened of energy consumption caused by the QHD slab Note 4. However, the 3220 mAh battery. – 20 more as the Galaxy Note 3 – ensures a very comfortable two-day autonomy traditional use. In addition, the new charger “Fast Charge” achieves the 50% battery in less than an hour
