Those in the UK can now mark September 19 on their calendars, as that is the day when Samsung's latest flagship phablet will go up for pre-order in the country. The Galaxy Note 4 will be available to pre-order from Samsung's Experience Stores this Friday (which is tomorrow), followed by retailers like Carphone Warehouse and Three from September 26. General availability will begin on October 10th – it's likely that will be the date when the Galaxy Note 4 goes on sale worldwide, though we will still need to wait for an official confirmation from Samsung.
The Galaxy Note 4 is the second smartphone in Samsung's lineup to feature a metallic body, and also the second to feature a Quad HD Super AMOLED display. It sports a 5.7-inch screen, a quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor clocked at 2.7 GHz, 3 GB of RAM, a 16-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization, 64 GB of storage and a microSD slot, fingerprint and heart rate scanners, a UV sensor, and a 3,220 mAh battery. The Note 4 runs on Android 4.4.4 KitKat, and brings new features to the Galaxy Note lineup, such as Smart Selection and Smart Note.
As usual, pricing info wasn't divulged by Samsung, but according to UK retailer Clove, the Galaxy Note 4 will be priced at £575.
