Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with ‘Welfie’, 22 Apps Redefines Smartphone
Samsung Electronics has demonstrated a high level of innovation with trendy Galaxy Note 4, the latest addition to its Galaxy Note family launched in Nigeria on Friday.
Blending an advanced S Pen with superior viewing experience, the Galaxy Note 4 provides users with a unique and powerful mobile experience.
According to Mr. Brovo Kim, managing director of Samsung Electronics West Africa, the new Galaxy Note 4 introduces the most refined Note experience to-date by combining the latest technology that users expect from Samsung’s Galaxy series.
“In 2011, we introduced the original Galaxy Note and launched a whole new smart device category. Its larger screen size and iconic S Pen technology initiated a new standard in smartphone culture. The undeniable success of the category strengthened our conviction that consumers want higher quality features on their devices and they want those new features to positively impact their quality of life.
“The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is a powerful, original approach that enables its users to tell the stories of their lives through dynamic and seamless expressions of their passions across work, play and life experiences,” he said.
Kim reiterated Samsung’s commitment to fulfilling its brand promise of inspiring the world and creating the future by bringing new and meaningful innovations to the doorstep of consumers.
Embracing the legacy of Samsung’s Galaxy Note series, the Galaxy Note 4 boasts a 5.7-inch QUAD High Definition (QHD) resolution display that reproduces clearer and more vivid images with better viewing angles, to deliver the ultimate viewing experience to users.
Its large screen and refined multi-window feature optimize users’ experience by making multi-tasking easier; users can choose how they access their applications using the device’s full, split or pop-up screen options.
They can also easily change the size and positioning of on-screen applications with just one swipe.
The Galaxy Note 4 parades an advanced camera system that generates brighter and clearer images. The device’s 16-megapixel rear-facing camera features a Smart Optical Image Stabilizer that counter-balances camera shake and automatically extends exposure time in poor lighting conditions.
In addition, its 3.7-megapixel front-facing camera offers users a default 90-degree shooting angle and up to 120 degrees wide angle to enable users take better selfies and wefies with friends.
A new Snap Note (Photo Note) feature enables the conversion of images into editable format within the Galaxy Note 4’s S Note application.
Users can rearrange or edit text and objects in photographs as well as convert hand-written notes to editable images with this feature.
Mr. Emmanouil Revmatas, director of Information Technology & Mobile for Samsung Electronics West Africa, described the Galaxy Note 4 as a testament to Samsung’s leadership and innovation in the smartphone market and its commitment to developing best-in-class products to meet the ever-changing needs of its consumers.
“A major complaint by users of smart mobile devices is that their device’s battery doesn’t charge fast enough, even after extended charging periods. With the Samsung Galaxy Note 4’s Adaptive Fast Charging technology, users can get their battery charge up from zero to 50% capacity in just 30 minutes. Its ultra power saving mode also lets users make the most of their battery power, helping them stay connected for longer periods. Today, we are excited to present Nigerians with the world’s most powerful mobile device,” he said.
The Galaxy Note 4 comes equipped with multiple microphones and an improved speaker phone for better audio feedback in noisy environments.
A built-in voice recorder offers eight different directional voice tagging options and a selective playback capability that allows users to isolate and listen to specific voices in a group conversation.
The device also offers an improved fingerprint scanner for securing users’ personal data alongside the world’s first ultra-violet sensor in a mobile device.
The device’s S Pen features new innovations that reinvent and modernize users’ note-taking experience.
A simple click of the S Pen button while hovering over the device’s screen introduces users to Air Command, a palette of powerful features that make tasks easier and faster to accomplish.
The Galaxy Note 4’s S Pen also features a new Smart Select feature that allows users piece together content from different applications with ease.
Users can enjoy a much more authentic pen experience with a natural brush effect that perfectly emulates writing on paper with a fountain or calligraphy pen.
In addition to its innovative technological advancements, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 delivers a new premium look and feel, expanding the modern Samsung Galaxy design approach with a new metal frame and fluid curvature that seamlessly blends in with the device’s display.
A soft-textured back cover complements the design to offer users superior grip and enhanced durability.
Samsung’s Galaxy Gifts package comes pre-installed on all Galaxy Note 4 devices, offering a wide collection of premium mobile services and Apps designed to make consumer experience more enjoyable and productive.
Tech giants Google and Meta have called on the Australian government to delay a proposed bill that would ban children under 16 from accessing most social media platforms.
The companies argue that more time is needed to assess the bill’s impact and await results from an age-verification trial.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s government aims to pass the legislation—one of the strictest globally on children’s social media use—by Thursday, the final day of the parliamentary year. Introduced last week, the bill was open for public submissions for just one day, drawing criticism for its expedited timeline.
The proposed law would require social media companies, rather than parents or children, to enforce age-verification measures, potentially using biometrics or government-issued identification. Companies found in breach could face fines of up to A$49.5 million ($32 million).
Meta criticised the bill as “inconsistent and ineffective” without clear results from the age-verification trial. Google echoed the sentiment, urging for a measured approach to ensure Australians understand the implications of the legislation.
TikTok raised “significant concerns” over the lack of consultation with experts, social media platforms, mental health organisations, and young people. “Novel policies must be drafted thoroughly to ensure their success,” the company stated.
Elon Musk’s X also opposed the bill, arguing it could infringe on children’s human rights, including their freedom of expression and access to information. Musk, a vocal advocate for free speech, accused the government of using the bill as a backdoor to control internet access.
The opposition Liberal Party has signalled support for the bill, while some independent lawmakers have criticised the government for rushing its passage. A Senate committee report on the bill is expected on Tuesday.
If passed, the bill will place Australia at the forefront of regulating children’s online activity, but its swift progression and potential implications have sparked a heated debate over privacy, freedom, and the role of government in digital spaces.

During peak shopping days, this threat intensifies.
Here’s what happens: with the surge in online deals, more employees may be shopping from their work computers, feeling that Cyber Monday is a legitimate time to do so.
This increases the risk of them clicking more freely and potentially exposing the organization to malicious links or phishing attacks.
To keep your organization safe, encourage your team to follow these simple tips:
• Don’t click deals in email that look too good to be true or are from businesses you don’t have accounts from – these could be phishing emails hoping to bait you into clicking links to bogus, malicious web sites.
This season, small steps can make a big difference in protecting against cyber threats.
