Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Available in the UK, US and World Gets October Release Date
Samsung's next line in its phablet offerings, the Galaxy Note 4, is already available in the U.K. with a U.S. release date sometime in October. As for the rest of the world, the phablet is facing a similar October release but may be later than the U.S. release.
In the U.K., retailers such as Three and Carphone Warehouse have already begun stocking their stores with the device and will be publicly available on Oct. 10. In the U.S., major wireless carriers (AT&T, Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile) are already offering pre-orders of the Note 4. Sprint isn't taking pre-orders yet but buyers can pre-register.
While the Note 4 is a newer and is already available in the U.K. and U.S., its off-contract price is a hard sell against the cheaper Galaxy Note 3, which is still in shelves worldwide and is regarded as the best so far in the Note line.

The Note 4 is rumored to sport a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen with a screen resolution of 2560 x 1440. Apparently, the move to the QHD screens was prompted by LG's earlier release of the G3 flagship which had a similar QHD display.
It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chipset, just enough to power the QHD display. It is run by a quad-core 2.7GHz Krait 450 processor and an Adreno 420 GPU. There's only one internal storage variant – a 32GB one – but also supports microSD cards of up to 128GB as always. It also possesses a more powerful 3GB RAM.
It features a 16-megapixel snapper capable of video recording of up to 2160p at 30 frames-per-second.
While it's already released on the market, it will be using the Android 4.4.4 KitKat OS until the Android L has been released.
