On October 16, 2014 I had the pleasure of being at the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 at the Samsung Experience Store in Tropical Plaza. The event was for the Samsung Note 4, Samsung Gear S, Galaxy Alpha, Galaxy Tab S which in my possession to do a full review on, but more on that next week. So today we have for you my impressions for all devices introduced at the launch last week.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4
So, what are the things you’ll see when you pick up the Note 4?


  • A beautiful and sharp which is expected since it’s a higher resolution than 1080P.
  • Most of the widgets are transparent on the Note 4 to help make the home wallpaper visible.
  • As you pick up the device you’ll feel the built quality difference between it and the Note3. That metal frame and new textured back cover makes a big difference in the hands.
  • You’ll see that the camera is now 16 mega pixel instead of the 13 that was in the Note 3. Also the option of UHD video recording.

The Gear S 
The Gear S screams change as soon as you pick it up.

Gear S
  • The display is certainly bigger than Gear 2 and curved as well.
  • There is no camera on the device to take photos or videos.
  • There is a SIM card slot located on the back to change the watch into a fully functioning mobile phone.

Samsung Galaxy Alpha
 This is a new line of phone introduced by Samsung.

  • The first thing you’ll notice is how sturdy it looks and feels. The metal frame and the small unique designed is what contributes to this thought.
  • The heart rate monitor and flash are positioned differently compared to the other Samsung phones that have them.
  • The user interface looks similarly to the Galaxy S5.
  • You can tell that the screen has a lower resolution than the Galaxy S5, but it’s still leagues a head of phones in its weight class.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S
The Tab S shouldn’t be confused with the Tab Pro or the regular Tab.

Galaxy Tab S 10 inch Variant
  • The display is gorgeous!
  • The first tablet you’ll see with a finger print scanner to log in.
  • The user interface is slightly different compared to other Samsung tablets with the addition of Magazine UI for its home screens.
  • The build quality is great and will remind you of the Galaxy S5. 
Final Thoughts
Last week was hectic for Jamaican citizens to say the least. You had the fear of Ebola hitting our shores and the joint pains of chick v terrorizing our nation. 
So if I say to you that Samsung also announced a promotion for the day devices hit store shelves on October 24th. The first 100 people to buy the Galaxy Note 4 at the Samsung Experience Store in Tropical plaza that day will receive an $11,258 discount on their purchase. Also the first people to take a "selfie" with the Galaxy Note 4 could walk away with gifts valued at up to $11,137 while supplies last.  Hoped that eased the joint pains a bit.
