The rear features a 16 MP shooter which is enabled with features like OIS, autofocus, LED flash and supports 2,160p. The 3.7 MP sitting at the front can snap topnotch selfies. Undoubtedly, the salient feature of the Note 4 is the much improved S-Pen stylus which now works like a professional stylus.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 appears very premium thanks to the metal frame and textured faux leather on its back cover. The ultra power saving mode of the 3,220 mAh battery can make it last very long. It is packed with numerous other features like Multi-Window mode, fingerprint scanner, health sensors and more.
