Samsung Galaxy Note 4 review: This Android phablet rules with a pen
In January 2014, Samsung introduced the Galaxy Note 4, delivering an incremental upgrade to its popular, super-sized, stylus-equipped smartphone. It was an all-around great phone, with a vibrant display, high-quality 16-megapixel camera and a robust processor. Since then, the company has brought out two new generations of the Galaxy Note -- the Note 5, a solid, reliable successor to the Note 4 -- and the Note 7, which has been an unmitigated disaster, given its propensity to overheat and, in some cases, catch fire. (Samsung skipped the "Note 6" nomenclature.)
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is a 2014 phone that's past its prime. Opt for the Note 5 or Galaxy S7 instead.
The 5.7-inch Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has a brilliant high-resolution screen and takes excellent outdoor shots on its 16-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization; Using the stylus is more convenient, and the battery charges very quickly.
Low light and indoor shots aren't as good as they should be.
