FIRST LOOK: Samsung GALAXY Note 4

 

Samsung expands its flagship GALAXY Note series with the new Samsung GALAXY Note 4 and Samsung GALAXY Note Edge. Having tried the new devices here at the Samsung Unpacked 2014 in Berlin, I feel the new GALAXY Note series devices are now built for both lifestyle & work. Blending an evolved S Pen with a superior Quad HD Super AMOLED display, the Galaxy Note 4 provides you with swift and powerful mobile experience that is flexible and responsive. Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will be available in Charcoal Black, Frost White, Bronze Gold and Blossom Pink in global markets starting in October 2014.

The GALAXY Note 4 is sleek and stylish while maintaining the distinctive and classic leather back cover that is iconic to GALAXY Note devices. It features a premium metal frame with fluid curvature and the 2.5D glass screen not just offers extra protection but also provide that chic design detail that gives the GALAXY Note 4 a more premium lifestyle look than its predecessors.
