Samsung Galaxy Note 4 review: the best big-screen phone you can buy right now

What began in 2011 as a brand-new phone category has flourished into one of the most popular in the world. Smartphones with big screens (phablets, to som

Gorgeous design with high-end materials ; Nice display ; Best camera in a Galaxy smartphone ; Powerful performance ; Great battery life

Isn't waterproof ; Loudspeaker still needs work

Not only is the Note 4 the best Samsung smartphone I've ever used, but it's also the best large-screen phone on the market -- even better than the iPhone 6 Plus.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 review: Four of a kind

From an oddball that everyone was laughing at to becoming one of the most important Samsung announcement of the year - the Note series got to a place where now everyone else wants to be in too, including Apple. Samsung isn't in too big a trouble just...

5.7" 16M-color QHD Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with curved Gorilla Glass 3 ; Android OS v4.4 KitKat with TouchWiz UI ; LTE Cat 6 support ; Quad-core 2.7GHz Krait 450 CPU, Adreno 420 GPU; Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chipset ; 3GB of RAM ; 16MP OIS...

Rear-mounted mono speaker ; microUSB 2.0 is a downgrade over microUSB 3.0 on the Note 3 ; The uneven gap between the metal frame and curved screen glass takes a few points away from an otherwise excellent build ; No enhanced resistance to liquids or...

So there you go - time to draw the line and see how the hot favorite for the phablet throne this season did. It was a wild ride, but as it turns out, summing it up is far easier than we expected. Let's start with the key findings from our review.

IFA 2014: Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Note Edge, Gear VR and Gear S hands-on

We've run the BaseMark OS II compound benchmark and both Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge came on the top of our chart. Both devices offer similar performance, but that's to be expected since they are basically identical.

Stylus-slinging Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has all you want in a 'phablet' and more (review)

Samsung's ultra HD powerhouse takes on the iPhone 6 Plus and LG G3 with some of industry's most competitive specs, and a certain little tool you can't find anywhere else.

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.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is a 2014 phone that's past its prime. Opt for the Note 5 or Galaxy S7 instead.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 review

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...

With the Note 4, it feels like Samsung took every little comment stuffed into its cobweb-covered suggestion box and actually listened to what its users want.

Quad HD display with great viewing angles ; Modern, metal-fied chassis ; Takes fantastic rear- and front-facing photos

Single speaker on the back sounds tinny

Yes, the Note 4 is bigger than some of the other flagships out on the market, but when you factor in its beautiful screen, powerful internals, and the utility of the S-Pen, it's a worthy buy.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 ( frosted white)

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 's S-Pen -- the narrow stylus tucked handily inside Samsung's surprisingly successful, giant 5.7-inch Galaxy Note phone -- stands out in a crowd. No other popular phone comes with a stylus, and this one makes the most of its...

Low light and indoor shots aren't as good as they should be. The Note 4 costs significantly more than some other phablets, like the LG G3.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will thrill anyone who loves a fast phone with a large screen, but it's best for compulsive scribblers willing to pay a lot for its winning stylus.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (AT&T)

With a premium facelift and an eye-popping 5.7-inch Quad HD display, the Galaxy Note 4 continues Samsung's reign of phablet dominance.

Incredible Quad HD display. New premium look and feel. Flexible multitasking. Improved stylus features. Outstanding battery life.

Trades comfort for style. Requires some work to get the most out of the experience.

I was wrong about big phones. Actually, a lot of people were wrong about big phones. When Samsung first came out with the Note in 2011, I wasn't the only one who laughed at the idea of a...

Fantastic display ; Excellent battery life ; Good-looking and well-made

Still just too much Samsung software ; Overly complex in places ; Seriously, look at all these settings
