The Galaxy Note 4 is completely resistant against pressure and also very torsion-resistant. Samsung could have done a better job, but this is not a serious issue. Sure, there can be more dirt than usual, but we could only clamp a thin piece of paper with a lot of patience and we could only insert it by a millimeter. Some gap-gate scenarios show that you can insert thick business cards, but we cannot confirm this. The gaps are even, but the gap between the display glass and the metal frame could actually be a bit smaller.
The build quality is on a very high level. However, the latter improves the quality impression of the smartphone significantly, so we have no problems with a couple of grams more. The slightly higher weight compared to the Note 3 (168 grams) is probably a result of the metal frame. Despite the large 5.7-inch screen, the device feels good in the hand and is not too heavy with 176 grams. The case of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is now a bit thinner but also a bit longer in return. The list includes the LG G3, Sony Xperia Z3, HTC One M8, Apple iPhone 6 Plus, Nokia Lumia 1520 as well as the Huawei Ascend Mate 7. None of the rivals have digitizers but are otherwise among the most powerful devices on the market. The South Koreans charge quite a lot as well, the RRP is hefty at 769 Euros (~$960) and therefore 20 Euros (~$25) higher compared to the predecessor.
Samsung is also still the only manufacturer that offers such high-end smartphones with additional digitizers. There are currently not many devices that could keep up with the Galaxy Note 4 in terms of specifications. This time it only supports the 2.0 standard, while the Note 3 still had a USB 3.0 port. The S-Pen was reworked as well and is supposed to have more pressure levels.

But Samsung also improved the build quality and uses a metal frame for the first time, so the device is not only an upgrade in terms of performance but also in terms of materials. Besides the current Snapdragon 805 processor there is also a higher resolution display with a higher pixel density. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is the latest upgrade of the flagship smartphone with a digitizer from the South Korean manufacturer. For the original German review, see here.
