Hands On: Samsung Galaxy Note 4

Samsung's new phablet, the Galaxy Note 4 pumps up the screen resolution and adds a metal frame.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4's metal edge looks almost exactly like the one on the Samsung Galaxy Alpha phone, except, you know, bigger.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has a new S Pen that Samsung says is more responsive and accurate than last year's.

The Galaxy Note 4's 16-megapixel camera has 8x optical zoom and image stabilization, and yes, that's a heart-rate monitor under it with the flash.

Samsung downshifted to a standard MicroUSB 2 port on the bottom of the Galaxy Note 4; you also see the S Pen tucked into the device here.

The Galaxy Note 4's most unique feature is how it enables the new Gear VR headset for virtual reality experiences.
