A few quirks from the Note 3 have also been addressed. Remember My Magazine, for instance? It was a news-viewing tool built into the home screen on the Note 3 that felt like a hastily made and half-baked reaction to HTC's BlinkFeed. The feature has now be...

The Note 4 is a handsome phone. After years of plastic blobs, Samsung has hit its design stride. We saw the potential of this new look in the Galaxy Alpha, but its guts just couldn't follow through. But the Note 4 can. It's a great and great-looking phone...
The Note 4's single back-mounted speaker kind of sucks. It's loud, and has a clever little rib on its grill that keeps it from being muffled by a table, but it's sound quality is tinny and just all around bad. It's no way to listen to music, TouchWiz is b...
Do you want a big phone? If so, you should get this big phone because it is the best big phone. Windowed multitasking, split screen options, and drag and drop stylus features turn the Note 4 into a device that actually has a reason to be as big as it is...

After our look at the iPhone 6 Plus, the next logical step was to spend some time with its toughest competitor, Samsung's Galaxy Note 4. Happily, we've managed to do so—but that's not the whole story. The version of the Note 4 that we've been poking at in...
