The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comes with a 5.7 inch Quad HD display with a Super AMOLED Screen. This is the same QHD resolution as on the LG G3 but Samsung claims to have more then 20% more coloes in the RGB Range with the Note 4.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comes with either Snapdragon 805 at 2.7 Ghz or Samsung’s Exynos Octa Core 1.9GHz + 1.3GHz octa-core CPU Variant, both come with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory. The Note 4 memory can be extended up with a 64GB micro sim card. The NOTE 4 supports LTE Cat 4 or LTE Cat 6.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 sports a 16MP Rear Camera with Smart OIS and a 3.7MP Selfie Camera. The Selfie Cam has new integrated modes, where you can capture more people with an 120 degress Selfie Mode on the Galaxy Note 4 Front Camera.

The Note 4 also sports an 3220 mAH battery, which is not much larger the the 3200 mAH battery on the Galaxy Note 3. 3220 mAH is not much battery life for such a big 5.7 inch QHD screen, so you better prepare to buy a Powerbank.

As you can see the Galaxy Note 4 is definitely the highest powered smartphone in terms of CPU and Screen. For the Rear Camera, the Sony Xperia Z3 has a better model inside with the 20.7 MP Shooter from Sony. In terms of Selfie Camera nearly all Flagships have a higher Spec one at least in terms of Megapixel.

The Real Deal is obviously the pricing for the Note 4. The Note 4 is expected to be released on 10.10.2014 and comes with a price of 799 Euro or 799 USD.

This seems to be even more expensive then the iPhone 6 and Xperia Z3 which both going to be priced around 650 USD. Overall it might be wise to think about hardly how to invest your money.
