As with all releases of Samsung's flagship smartphone, the Galaxy Note 4 was one of the most anticipated smartphones of the year. While not abandoning his famous plastic, Samsung introduced a bit of metal on this new album, and did not skimp on the internal specifications with the Galaxy Note 4. The presentation includes a Quad HD display, the latest Qualcomm processor and the latest version of the operating system - it was the case during his announcement in September, less today since Android 5.0 was released Lollipop.

Unboxing
The opening of the box shows the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in all its glory, and just looking at the smartphone, you can now see the most premium materials used with the latest addition to the range of phablettes rating.
The interior of the box is that there are more standard. We will thus find a micro-USB cable, battery, a pair of in-ear headphones top quality with extra bits, a wall mounted charging, and additional tips for the stylus.
On the edge of it we will have a 3.5mm audio jack, the only port placed on it. It also goes an infrared port, which will be able to control various devices, including TVs.
On the bottom, the micro-USB port, and two small microphones. There is also the location for the S Pen.
On the right, we will find the on / off button.
The left side of the device, the volume knob more or less.
The front camera is 3.7 megapixels. Further down the Home button has a fingerprint sensor, ideal for easily unlocking the Phablet.
On the back, the 16-megapixel camera with LED Flash below and beside the heart rate sensor. At the bottom a speaker is embedded.
It should be noted that the back cover is removed, to insert the SIM card and the micro SD card. Finally, the battery can also be removed.
First Impressions
As mentioned earlier, the Galaxy Note 4 is clearly more upscale than previous flagships of Note Samsung range, partly due to the metal structure that is located around the unit, choice of material that has been introduced with the Galaxy Alpha.
The faux leather shell that has appeared on the Galaxy Note 3 is back on this model, this time without the fake stitching around.
About the user interface, you have the latest version of TouchWiz overlay as Android 4.4.4 Kitkat . Some changes have occurred over the last Galaxy devices, with a much watered-down interface than previous versions. That said, the overlay is still as rich in features, which will prove to be a positive or negative depending on how you use your Galaxy Note 4.
Of course, the Master feature for the range of devices is the Galaxy Note stylus (S Pen) and everything it offers. You also get a heart rate monitor on the back cover, which first appeared on the Galaxy S5, and now has an additional feature to be used as a shutter button. I will of course further explore these hardware and software features in the next more comprehensive test.
While the overall design remains similar to Samsung's flagship smartphone, the company definitely going in the right direction regarding the materials used and the quality provided . The faux leather on the back cover not only have a better grip, but gives a professional look smartphone. The metal frame around the unit also does wonders for the look and feel, which proves that Samsung has been working on herself to give up the famous glossy plastic.
Now I have to answer a question that has done more than turn the blogosphere and social networks: #gapgate. Some users have found a small space between the screen and the frame, where people have been able to spend some thick paper it. I tried the same thing, and I managed to put a post-it, without that it will hold up.
So here you have an unboxing of choice, and my first impressions of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4! Series Galaxy Note has reached a point in the last two years she could be seen as providing the Samsung's flagship smartphone, especially as the Galaxy S range appears to be declining.
