The new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is the latest heavyweight to enter then growing "phablet" market which now has fierce rival Apple in the opposite corner. But the good news for Samsung is the Galaxy Note 4 is the culmination of four years of work in this larger screen space.

Great phone Great multitasking Great camera Good build quality

Big screen monsters are very much the style statement nowadays and tech giants are on their heels to offer the best. A radical shift towards big screens has been happening in India too long before Apple went "bigger than big" and Google made a big screen nexus.

Our first Smartphone review has certainly started with a very fine product indeed. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 offers a simply stunning 5.7" Super...

Gorgeous Super AMOLED display; Excellent S Pen; Great specification; Good battery life; Super camera

Not quite 'Apple' build quality

Si con el Note 3 ya vimos un dispositivo maduro y que era incluso el mejor Samsung de 2013, con el Galaxy Note 4 se ha seguido la evolución lógica: es el mejor Samsung Galaxy de este 2014, y para muchos candidato a Android del año, con nada que envidiar a los flagships de otras compañías.

Diseño y Materiales : La inclusión del aluminio y mantener el diseño del Note 3 en su mayoría ha sido un acierto, Pantalla : Espectacular; Lo más destacable del Note 4 y síntoma del buen trabajo de Samsung en pantallas, Autonomía : Aunque era algo que esperábamos, no deja de ser reseñable.

TouchWiz : sí; ha mejorado y sí; tiene detalles interesantes; pero resta más que suma; Accesorios : el escáner de huellas dactilares y el S Pen pueden y necesitan mejorar más

I bought my first one the week it came out. The size was impressive and so was the screen. It was the first phone that I DIDN'T want to replace. I had it for a year and took it to india, where sadly it was stolen. I missed the phone so much.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is the highest-performing Android-based smartphone we have tested to date. Whether we're referring to CPU or GPU performance, the 2.7GHz Snapdragon 805 SoC with its Adreno 420 graphics engine at the heart of the Note 4 put up some of the best numbers we have seen.

Great Performance; Good Battery Life; Beautiful Screen; S-Pen; Excellent Camers

A Bit Pricey; Will Be Too Big For Some Users; TouchWiz Virtually Everywhere

The Galaxy Note 4 is quite possibly one of the best smartphones Samsung has ever concocted.

Quad HD display with great viewing angles; Modern; metal-fied chassis; Takes fantastic rear- and front-facing photos

Single speaker on the back sounds tinny

Update: The 2014 Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is a little long in the tooth, having been usurped by the Galaxy Note 5 and more recently the Galaxy Note 7 , but now with an even lower price tag it still packs a punch.

Samsung are often credited with starting the "big phone" trend. I remember reading about the first Galaxy Note when it was announced; it seemed ludicrous. I mean, who would ever want a phone with a 5.3-inch screen?

Best phone Samsung has made; Great camera; Improved S-Pen

Screen isn't great outdoors; Fingerprint reader is hard to use; Will be too big for some
