Samsung Electronics has unveiled the new Galaxy Note 4, an expansion of its flagship Galaxy Note series, which is available to customers across the region for pre-booking from today (September 25).

Blending an evolved S Pen, the Galaxy Note 4 will provide users with a unique and powerful mobile experience on the market, said a statement.

The company has also unveiled the Samsung Gear S, the next generation of smart wearable device that expands the smartphone experience to the wrist, it said.

Delivering an up-to-date smart wearable experience with 3G connectivity and wearable optimised features to meet the evolving needs of consumers, the Gear S has been designed with a curved Super Amoled display and flexible band.

Hayssam Yassine, head of telecommunications group at Samsung Gulf Electronics, said: “The Galaxy Note series ushered in a new wave of innovation within the technology industry. Its large screen size and distinctive S Pen technology launched a new standard in smartphone culture which has been warmly embraced by our regional consumers.

“The new Galaxy Note 4 provides an unbeatable Note experience by combining all the latest technology that users expect from the Galaxy series.”

“With the wearable segment set to grow, Samsung continues to lead across the category through progressive innovation. Designed to enable customers to stay connected anywhere, anytime, we expect the device to be a hit with the region’s consumers who have a strong reputation for being early adopters,” said Yassine.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will feature a 5.7-inch Quad HD (2560x1440) Super Amoled display, which will reproduce clearer and more vivid images with deep contrast, better viewing angles, and response times as fast as a millionth of a second, said the statement.

Due to its large screen, the refined Multi Window feature will be able to maximise the user’s experience providing them with the key to easier multi-tasking. Users can choose how they access their applications with full, split or pop-up screens, and easily change the size and positioning of apps on the screen with one intuitive swipe.

It also sports an advanced camera system that is able to reproduce brighter and clearer images. The device is equipped with a 16-megapixel (MP) rear-facing camera featuring a Smart Optical Image Stabilizer that counter-balances camera shake and automatically extends exposure time in dark settings.

In addition, a 3.7MP front-facing camera will offer a default 90-degree shooting angle and up to 120-degree wide angle, said the statement.

With the Fast Charging feature and Ultra Power Saving Mode, the Galaxy Note 4 charges faster and ensures that users do not run out of power.

It will also come equipped with multiple microphones and an improved speaker phone for better noise cancellation when speaking in loud environments. A built-in voice recorder will offer eight different directional voice tagging and a selective playback capability that allows users to isolate and listen to specific voices in a group conversation.

It will offer an improved Fingerprint Scanner, to secure personal data and the world’s first UV sensor in a mobile device.

The device will feature a premium metal frame with fluid curvature that blends with the device display. Its 2.5D glass screen, inherited from the Galaxy S3, offers extra protection while complementing the device’s rich viewing experience.

It will be available in Charcoal Black, Frost White, Bronze Gold, and Blossom Pink colours. - TradeArabia News Service
