If you can't beat them join them. Then beat them. That seems to be Apple's response to the proliferation of large-screen Android and Windows Phone handsets. After years of holding out as the only important phone manufacturer without a phablet, Apple has gone all in with a smartphone/tablet...

iPhone 6 Plus has great specs and build quality; Like a smaller more connected iPad

Galaxy Note 4 has more raw power; Samsung's phone has better display specs

The 5.7 inch Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has a Quad HD Super AMOLED (2560 x1440) display. The device is powered by 2.7GHz Quad Core Processor and 1.9GHz Octa Core (1.9GHz Quad + 1.3GHz Quad Core) Processors, with amazing dual camera configurations. It is running on KitKat OS with 4G connectivity.

Excellent performance; Amazing display; Good camera performance; Good battery support

The Galaxy Note 4 is quite possibly one of the best smartphones Samsung has ever concocted. It's outfitted in a seriously stylish metal outfitting and faux-leather backing, features a Quad HD display for a high-resolution viewing experience, and comes bundled with the ever-so-useful S-Pen stylus.

We've played around with the camera of the Galaxy Note 4 and found it to be one of the better shooters out there. Here's our in-depth look at the shooter which uses a Sony sensor, namely - the IMX 240. Here are the details of the sensor itself.

First came the derision, then grudging acceptance, followed by massive sales. Samsung's Galaxy Note series has defined and largely owned the phablet space, prompting even hipster Apple to buckle down and launch one of its own . Does its latest avatar do justice to the legacy of the series?

This Note update is kind of boring. It's a spec bump with a few nips and tucks, but there's nothing significantly different. We think the Note Edge's existence shows Samsung is searching for something new in the phablet space, but until it finds whatever that new distinguishing factor is, we're left...

The metal frame with a chamfered edge is a nice step up in quality for Samsung's devices; The Menu button is dead! Samsung replaced it with a recent apps button; No more fake stitching on the back; A removable battery and a Micro SD card

Physical home buttons and styluses don't mix; Imparting force through a plastic stick into a clicky button is extremely awkward, Samsung chose branding over usability, The stylus feels like a toy.

I'm an avid iPhone user and I always will be one,but this note 4 is awesome!super screen,speed,an great battery life.and hsn was speedy on gettin it t

Do you want a big phone? If so, you should get this big phone because it is the best big phone. Windowed multitasking, split screen options, and drag and drop stylus features turn the Note 4 into a device that actually has a reason to be as big as it is.

The Note 4 is a handsome phone; After years of plastic blobs, Samsung has hit its design stride; We saw the potential of this new look in the Galaxy Alpha, but its guts just couldn't follow through; But the Note 4 can; It's a great and great-looking phone.

The Note 4's single back-mounted speaker kind of sucks; It's loud, and has a clever little rib on its grill that keeps it from being muffled by a table, but it's sound quality is tinny and just all around bad; It's no way to listen to music.

very good mobile

I have no problem saying that this is the nicest Samsung phone that I've ever used. If I were looking to buy an Android smartphone with a large screen, this would be the one I'd recommend.

Nice display; Replaceable battery; Micro SD card slot; Good battery life; Heart rate sensor; Blood oxygen sensor; S Pen
