With the rumored larger iPhone on the way, Samsung swooped in to announce the latest iteration of the Galaxy Note. The Galaxy Note 4 boasts a 5.7″ AMOLED display which offers improved crispness over that Galaxy Note 3’s version and it should give Android fans a welcome iPhone 6 competitor. The new smartphone will come with an improved S Pen with better sensitivity so you don’t have to use your fat fingers to open and close apps. Also included is a heart-rate monitor and fingerprint sensor, a 16-megapixel rear camera, and some minor tweaks to the appearance. It isn’t a crazy overhaul to the previous Note, but it is a nice little step forward.
