 "Samsung Galaxy Note 4 camera detailed: 16MP OIS camera with gesture trigger plus new selfie modes")
Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Note 4 represents one of the most crucial products in the company’s line-up, as it battles competition from all sides around the world. While previous rumours hinted at a 20.1MP shooter and some camera abilities seen in the Galaxy S5, the latest piece of news from SamMobile tells us the Note 4 will pack a 16-megapixel Sony IMX240 camera sensor with optical image stabilization. The sensor model is same as seen in the Korea-only Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A. It is capable of shooting 4K UHD video at 30 fps. The device is expected to come fitted with a 3.7-megapixel front camera. It is capable of capturing images and video in WQHD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels), as revealed by some system files. Besides, the device also packs in some new features including Side Touch, a gesture-based sensor at the bottom right side of the device. It can be used to take snaps by simply tapping the area. It’s like an invisible dedicated camera button. One will also find four new camera modes namely, Wide Selfie, Selfie, Selfie Alarm and Create a GIF File. As expected, one will find all the other camera-related features that are seen in the Galaxy S5, such as Drama Shot, Sound and Shot and Burst mode. One of the **first rumours** about the Note 4 earlier this year had pointed towards a 2k display, something we were expecting to come with the Galaxy S5. The report also spoke about water-proof abilities. On the processing speed front, the device is speculated to pack in an octa-core Exynos CPU or a Snapdragon 800-series SoC, coupled with 4GB RAM. The company might as well build both variants, and as seen earlier. Speculation is that the Note 4 will have global LTE coverage. The rumoured feature list also includes 128GB onboard storage, though that seems like a long shot at the moment, a new handwriting-recognition technology for unlocking the device and a battery ranging between 3600mAh and 3800mAh, which would give it enough power to last the day. With the Samsung event **slated for September 3** , we’d not have to wait too long for the details.
