Easy on the eyes Samsung has just launched the much-anticipated Galaxy Note 4 at IFA 2014, and while it might not attract as many initial "oohs" and "aahs" as the Galaxy Note Edge, this is another solid effort from the South Korean company with plenty to get excited about.
Leaving the big design alterations to its edgey sibling, the Note 4 arrives with the same 5.7-inch screen that was attached to the Note 3. But Samsung has boosted the viewing quality with a Quad HD Super AMOLED (2,560 x 1,440 resolution) display, which will adapt to different lighting conditions.
And it's just as well, because the camera has also jumped up from 13MP to 16MP and now lets in 60% more light for improved images, so you should have some decent snaps to make use of that rich display.
And making all that magic happen is a 2.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage on the inside, also powering the latest version of Android, 4.4 KitKat.
The Note 4 also comes with a more premium design than its predecessor, sporting a metal rim around the outside of the phone, though the back is still a faux leather affair, which might not be music to everyone's ears.
As you might expect following the Galaxy S5 and Samsung's wearables, the Note 4 now comes with a built-in heartrate monitor on the rear, though we're still not convinced this is a hugely useful feature.
And this being a Note device, Samsung has given the S Pen more reasons to exist with two new pen options - fountain and highlighter - to give off that extra bit of calligraphic realism.
Samsung says the device will be available in October but hasn't announced a price yet - we suspect we'll be hearing one very soon.
