This week Apple treaded on Samsung’s territory with the release of its first phablet, the iPhone 6 Plus. Samsung pioneered the phablet category three years ago with the original Note, and now it is being forced to defend its share of the market.
The South-Korean company has hit back with two variations of its popular Note range: the evolutionary Note 4, and the innovative Note Edge. Both of these smartphones represent radical improvements over the Note 3.
Gone is the tacky feel of plastic as this series is built on a metal chassis. The Note finally feels as though Samsung has crafted it with a great sense of pride. Samsung draws attention to the material by shaving the painted metal down with chamfered edging.
