Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Duos With Snapdragon 805 Launched
Samsung has quietly revealed the dual-SIM variant of the Galaxy Note 4 in China.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Duos is now listed on the company’s China site and is currently available in three variants – SM-N9109W for China Telecom; SM-N9106W for China Unicom, and the SIM-free (unlocked) SM-N9108V.
Sammobile reports that the unlocked version of the Galaxy Note 4 Duos is priced at CNY 5,199 (Rs. 52,000 approximately) and is compatible with 4G LTE networks on most carriers. Unfortunately, the pricing details of the Galaxy Note 4 Duos SM-N9109W and SM-N9106W variants are not available.
The report also suggests that the first SIM card slot of all three variants of the Galaxy Note 4 Duos supports 4G over TDD-LTE and FDD-LTE networks, while the second SIM supports just 2G networks.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Duos listing features few specifications, but Sammobile notes the smartphone comes with slightly different innards from the original Galaxy Note 4. Apart from dual-SIM support, the Galaxy Note 4 Duos comes with 16GB built-in storage compared to 32GB inbuilt storage on the original variant, and is also backed by a 3000mAh battery instead of the 3220mAh battery on the Galaxy Note 4.
The Galaxy Note 4 Duos is powered by a 2.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor. The rest of the specifications of the Galaxy Note 4 Duos are thought to be the same as the original Galaxy Note 4.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 runs Android 4.4 KitKat, and features a 5.7-inch Quad-HD (1440×2560 pixel) Super Amoled display with a pixel density of 515ppi. The Galaxy Note 4 comes in two versions based on chipsets – 2.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor and a 1.9GHz octa-core (1.9GHz quad-core + 1.3GHz quad-core) Samsung processor. It comes with 3GB of RAM.
The Galaxy Note 4 features a 16-megapixel autofocus rear camera with Smart OIS, and a 3.7-megapixel front-facing camera with an f/1.9 lens. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, GPS/ Glonass, NFC, Bluetooth v4.0, IR LED, USB 2.0, and MHL 3.0. The Galaxy Note 4 features an accelerometer, geo-magnetic sensor, gyroscope, RGB, IR-LED, proximity, barometer, hall sensor, finger scanner, UV, heart rate monitor.
Considering the official listing of the Galaxy Note 4 Duos, the handset also seems to feature Adaptive Fast Charging that according to the company charges from 0 to 50 percent in 30 minutes.
Recently, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 went on sale in India priced at an MRP of Rs. 61,500, and a market operating price between Rs. 58,300 and Rs. 58,500. Interestingly, the Galaxy Note 4 was available to buy in India the same day as Apple’s iPhone 6 Plus.
