[Q] Note 4 Digitizer

Hello, do you have some information about the digitizer. Is it still wacom? And why is the resolution of the digitizer? (More or less than the 1440p?)
The pen with its pressure sensitivity would make the difference for me.

Samsung owns 10% of Wacom and the S Pen looks to be the same as before - so Note 4 definitely uses Wacom.
I wonder if the resolution will match the screen, I suppose it should, we'll see. Anyway, I wouldn't worry. I have Note 10.1 and writing on it is excellent. Note 4 will be better.

Sup
I own a Wacom Intuous Touch 5
Writing on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 feels the same.
Both have 2048 levels of pressure.
Both have palm rejection.

S Pen
15g, Hovering 15mm, Pressure level 2,048
Actually I think the Wacom tablet has more tilt recognition. Don't feel like turning this on and testing it out, but just going off memory, they seem nearly the same.

[Q] Can the Note 4 replace pen/paper for note-taking in college?

Hello everyone! I currently own a Samsung Galaxy S4, but would like to upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. The main reason for the switch is because I am interested in the S-Pen and its many functionalities. My question is, will I be able to effectively use the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 as my main note-taking apparatus, or will such prove to be difficult due to the screen's size? Has anyone here done this before? What were your experiences like?
Thanks!

for short notes yes its fine. for long multi page notes you need something better. i use a surface pro 3 which works ok. The cheaper alternative is to add a $150 smartpen and smart paper such as - http://www.livescribe.com/en-us/ and send it to the note 4 via wifi.

Depends much on your note taking needs and what you are replacing on the paper side. Would you be comfortable taking notes on a small notepad the size of the Note 4? If that meets your needs on paper, then same would go here.
If you need a full size pad for note taking on paper then you need a tablet like the Galaxy Note 10.1.

Thanks for the replies. What do you all think of the Surface Pro 3 for note-taking in college?

Now that OneNote supports inking on Android and generally handles just like it does on a full-fledged Tablet PC, I'd say it's a viable option...for short notes.
For lengthy notes and sprawling math formulas and graphs and stuff, the screen size is really limiting, and that's when you'll be yearning for a tablet in the 12-13" range with an active pen digitizer. For that, you've got plenty of cheap options all around eBay if you know what to look for.
The Surface Pro 3 should suffice for note-taking once you install OneNote, but the N-trig pen requires a bit more pressure for activation than the Wacom pens in the older Surface Pro models (that incidentally also work on the Galaxy Note, and vice versa). That might take some getting used to, but nothing deal-breaking.

Well if you don't mind reading from a small screen then the note 4s s-pen function will be useful jotting down notes and clipping images or notes for documentation. However for note taking a lot of things it would be manageable for the phone but it would lets say be a little challenging.
And IMO a Surface pro 3 would be more easier for your purpose but a bit bulky

Tab 4 10.1 LCD bleeding

Hi everyone,
I bought tab 4 10.1 couple a days ago, and just saw that my lcd is bleeding. Its visible in dark condision( something like white glow around edges, but mostly above bottom edge) only on black background, and its more visible if brightness is higher (youtube margins, bs player, ets). Does enyone else has this problem? Should i return it? I also saw that many people has this problem on tab pro and note 10.1 2014, and that they changed couple devices but the problem was present on them as well.
Thanks,
Nemanja.

help me pick s6 edge plus over note 5

so i think the Edge 6 plus in gold just look phenomenal but there's something in me that says the S pen on the note 5 is more practical then the edge ticker. i went in the VZW store yesterday and i couldnt get the edge info ticker or other options to work right, but im attributing that to the VZW demo that kept popping up on the screen. I know the edge screen doesnt do much, but does it work like it's supposed do?
i know the phones are almost identical besides pen and edge....
any other reasons i should pick the 6+ over the note 5?

no trying to decide

Samsung S6 Edge+ Plus is faster in benchmark
Gold colour is the best
screen looks more beautiful, curved edge on both sides. 3D effect
better battery life
edge s6+ is more lighter. not heavy for its size.
are you going to use the S pen for 1 or 2 weeks then never use it again?
.

Just swithched from N5. Love the looks, form factor and the screen is more accurate.

If you want the Stylus and its features go Note 5. If you want the sexiest design in market go Edge+. The Edge+ is slightly faster on benches and has slightly better battery life due to the lack of all the stylus features that run in the background. Do not expect features for the edges they are there for sexiness and design and I love them. Swiping from the edges feels really good on them. The Edge+ in Gold is really dope and eyecatcher all my friends ask me immediately what's this phone and want to touch it. Also the Edge+ feels more compact on hand and despite its screen size it's really small. If it feels slippery on your hand and the Edges are hard for you to grip on I will suggest you to use a transparent TPU case which will not hide the sexiness of the phone and will help a lot the grip. Despite their design differences and the stylus internally those 2 are exactly the same.

I bought the edge 6+ because I couldn't find a 64gb Note 5. I looked at both, the edge is sexier.... At a price. It's an uncomfortable phone to hold, this after two months of it. It's so beautiful that you want to hold it all the time though. Also, the edges catch light differently, and the keyboard is not so accurate to use.
Practically, if I had had the Note 5 in 64gb in front of me I'd have chosen that.
32gb on either, despite what people say, is too little.

Used S7 edge problems

Recently I bought a 2 year old use Samsung Galaxy S7 edge(32gb)(black) off of my friend.
While I had it in hand everything seemed alright except the scratched fingerprint sensor and the broken display but I used it for a couple of days and I encountered some problems
I downloaded a few games such as PUBGM and Fortnite and found out that while aiming using the screen, the aim is not as precise as it is on other phones. When I try to aim at really far object slowly, the whole screen slightly wobbles, making it harder to aim. Also the distance the screen moves in-game when I swipe slow or fast is very inconsistent.
Other than this some other problems I found are,
S7 take slightly more time to download things than my S6
The display seems worse colour-wise relative to my S6
The "blacks" aren't as dark as they are on my S6
What might be the solution to these problems?
Will changing the display fix the colour and precision problems?
