Samsung note 4 what will be. Video shooting examples

Smartphones with a large screen and productive hardware, despite all the skepticism, have found their consumer. They are used by a huge number of people. Some of them even turned out to be from tablets. The real leader in this segment for the second year in a row is Samsung. The latest update to the phablet line is the Galaxy Note 4, which has become a real personification of manufacturability, functionality and high quality. Finally, this device has reached our editorial office.

Now, perhaps, you can’t make out how smartphones with a screen of almost 6 inches have become bestsellers in the high price segment. Three years ago, few people thought of producing such devices. In 2011, Samsung released its first Galaxy Note. Then the model was accepted ambiguously. There were many jokes about bricks, shovels and briefcases. And this is taking into account the display diagonal of 5.3 inches. Now every third phone has similar characteristics, and nothing. By 2014, the screen size of the Samsung Galaxy Note had grown to 5.7 inches. And this does not scare off consumers at all, but, on the contrary, attracts them.

As before, the Galaxy Note 4 is more advanced in terms of positioning than the device. Although in functional terms, there are few differences between them. These are mainly applications for using a large display area. Another difference is in the body materials. in this regard, it is considered more versatile and affordable, and Note 4 is considered premium. Hence the difference in price - 20,000 rubles in new money (before devaluation - 8,000 rubles). Let's see if this device is as perfect as it is commonly thought.

Package contents and first impressions

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comes in a standard package for the latest devices. This is a small rectangular box made of hard gray textured cardboard. A package with a large number "four" looks stylish and expensive due to the minimum number of pictures and information printed on its surface.

Inside is the device itself, a microUSB cable, which is used for charging and connecting to a computer. In addition, there is a power plug adapter, a battery, a wired headset with a 3.5 mm flat tangle-free noodle wire and in-ear gel ear cushions. A small pile of paper documents is traditionally neatly fixed in a paper pocket. That's all.

Delivery set includes:

• Phone Samsung SM-N910C Galaxy Note 4
• Battery 3220 mAh Li-Ion
• USB charger adapter
• PC synchronization cable
• Stereo headset with 3.5 mm miniJack connector
• Set of earplugs in different sizes
• Stylus Replacement Kit
• Instructions, documentation

Taking out a smartphone from the box, I immediately caught myself thinking that I had a Galaxy Alpha in front of me, only with a fairly enlarged screen. Feelings from a metal frame along the contour with a polished chamfer are similar.

But the thickness is quite a standard. The weight of the device is felt in the hands. Dimensions here are 153.5 x 78.6 x 8.5 mm, weight 176 grams. Galaxy Note 4 is big, big, heavy, but thin enough. Thus, the design hides most of the negativity about the size.

It is possible to carry the device in the pockets of tight clothes, but I would not talk about comfort. Personally, I'm uncomfortable. If you are in jeans or trousers, then in the “sitting” position you try to put the device on the table. The gadget bulges a pocket.

Design and appearance

The design of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has incorporated the features of previous devices: and. There are the same rectangular shapes, a large screen, a plastic cover with a “skin-like” texture, a painted steel frame, sharp ends, and so on.

The metal frame seriously changed the perception of the entire device. It has become more solid, reliable and expensive. Previously, such a bezel was made of plastic, it was streamlined and rounded, giving a sort of lightness and airiness even to such large-sized products as the huge representatives of the Galaxy Note line. However, he also gave them a characteristic look of cheapness. Now everything is different. The only question is, why did the metal need to be painted? Samsung says it's prettier this way. I think it's a broad answer.

The back cover remains plastic, but this plastic is very well felt tactile. It is matte with a skin-like texture. This fact does not allow the smartphone to slip out of hand. Unlike here, there is no imitation of stitches on the skin at the ends of the cover.

There are no fingerprints left on the sides of the device and on the back of the device. This is a definite plus. Traces are visible only on the display.

As for the build, it's perfect. There was no feeling that I had a rattle toy in front of me. Rather, on the contrary. Everything is very high quality, reliable and tightly fitted.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is presented in four options: dark gray, pink, white and bronze. I had a dark gray device on the test.

Almost the entire front of the device is occupied by a large touchscreen 5.7-inch display. Above it is a speaker. To the right of it are located: a camera for video calls (3.7 megapixels) and all kinds of sensors and sensors: motion sensor, light sensor, G-sensor.

Below the screen is a menu button (it has a built-in fingerprint scanner) and two touch keys. Everything is standard here.

The arrangement of controls and other elements on the body of the smartphone has not changed compared to the Galaxy.

On the right side there is a button to turn on, turn off and lock the phone. On the left you can see the volume rocker. There is no camera button here, the camera application for shooting can only be launched from the menu or lock mode.

At the bottom end is a standard microUSB-connector - for charging and connecting to a computer. Nearby there is a compartment for a stylus pen. There is also a microphone here.

On the top end there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack, another microphone, and an infrared port for using a smartphone as a remote control.

On the back side you can see a 16 megapixel camera lens with autofocus and LED flash. In addition to the main camera protruding above the surface of the body and the LED flash, you can also notice a heart rate sensor here. By placing your finger on this small sensor on the back of your smartphone, you can not only measure your heart rate, but also assess the level of stress that your body is experiencing at the moment. All of this is made possible with the pre-installed S Health app.

At the bottom there is a speaker for external sounds and calls. I would rate the sound at four with a minus. You can hear the call well only if the speaker does not block anything. Otherwise, the vibrating alert or the maximum volume level will save. But in terms of the sound quality of music through an external speaker, the Galaxy Note 4 loses outright.

Under the back cover is a battery compartment, a microSIM slot and a microSD card slot. It also contacts the antennas, improving their sensitivity.

The device does not have protection against water and dust, support for wireless charging too.

The build quality of the smartphone is excellent. During the test, I did not find any external defects. Impressions are extremely positive. The smartphone is assembled at the company's factory in Vietnam.

Screen. Graphic features

The Super AMOLED screen on the Galaxy Note 4 measures 5.7 inches. Its resolution has grown significantly to Quad HD and is 1440 × 2560 pixels with an amazing density of 515 ppi - the highest density in the line. The clarity of the picture is excellent, the fonts are very neat even with the smallest size, in a word - there is nothing to complain about. Even in direct sunlight, the image remains readable.

Thanks to the "Optimize display" option, the user can significantly reduce the strain on their eyes. The device analyzes the level of lighting around and, depending on the conditions, sets the contrast, brightness, plus adjusts the colors on the screen. The screen looks good in the sun. I did not notice any problems with reading the information.

Outside, the screen is covered with protective glass Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The thickness of the side frames from the edge of the screen to the edge of the case is approximately 3.5 mm.

The Galaxy Note 4 recognizes gloved fingers. To do this, in the settings you need to check the box next to auto-adjust the screen sensitivity. The smartphone also has a proximity sensor that blocks the screen when you bring the smartphone to your ear.

A separate line should be said about the stylus, which has become a proprietary option of the Note line. The use of the pen has reached the maximum similarity with a pen or pencil, and the increased sensitivity of the screen handles pressing in such a way that you think you are drawing on paper. This allows you to write and draw more and more often.

Fingerprint scanner

As noted above, Galaxy Note has a fingerprint scanner built into the key under the screen. To identify the user, you need to swipe your finger along the bottom of the screen and touch the center key. The initial setup will require 10 prints. You can register up to 3 different fingerprints in the settings.

In 90% of cases the scanner works correctly. The process of unlocking the screen, for example, takes a couple of seconds. In case of problems, the smartphone displays messages asking, for example, to wipe the surface of the scanner due to high humidity, etc. Apparently, the sensor that is already in the device is used here and measures the ambient temperature and humidity.

Subjectively, Samsung's fingerprint scanner performs at the same level as Apple's. But I cannot claim the truth in the first instance.

Menu. Interface and navigation

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comes with Android 4.4.4 operating system and TouchWiz shell. The software can be "updated over the air".

As in the case with here, the settings menu is made in the form of shortcuts, the appearance of which evokes memories of the deceased Symbian. In the main menu, application icons look familiar.

The Galaxy Note 4 has a multi-window mode, when two windows can be placed on one screen at once, for example, a browser or web browser, as well as a photo gallery below it. In addition, there is an S-Pen function that allows you to take notes, write reminders by hand, and also embed individual pictures from the screen into an edited letter, message or document.

The keyboard has an additional row with numbers - this allows you not to switch the layout if you need to enter them. In addition, the keyboard itself has large gaps between the buttons, which is comfortable when typing. Swipe mode is also implemented. The keyboard and screen can be reduced in size for single-handed operation.

When you use the stylus, a circular menu appears on the screen, offering four pen modes: contextual commands, smart selection, image cropping, and writing on screenshot. Management with the stylus has become smoother, without jerks and "freezes". The S Note service has also been updated, syncing with the pre-installed Evernote, creating notes both by hand and using the virtual keyboard, and can convert handwritten text to editable (Snap Note). For example, you can take a picture of a note on paper and then edit it.

Travel lovers will love the "S Translator" application, which will become an indispensable assistant. It provides instant translation of words, letters, messages and chats in different languages, and also supports voice input.

In S Health, you can measure your heart rate, run a pedometer, enter food data and admire the number of calories consumed, build a training program for running, walking, cycling or hiking with setting an end goal. For all parameters, detailed statistics are displayed, you can add photos of the area during a workout or pictures of the food you consume.

For everyone who monitors their health, this application will be extremely useful. It completely replaces all paid counterparts from third-party manufacturers. Curiously, Samsung removed the ability to measure temperature and humidity levels from S Health.

But FM radio was not introduced into the device, leaving a music player for music lovers, which is replete with functions without changes. Video can be viewed frame-by-frame, a large number of audio and video codecs are supported. The S Voice system has improved, but the set of commands it recognizes is still inferior to Siri in the iPhone.

In general, the number of installed applications has increased in the system. On the one hand, this somewhat “overloads” the system, on the other hand, it provides maximum functionality right out of the box (a separate material can be devoted to this). There were no bugs in the work of applications.

Camera. Photo and video capabilities

The camera has traditionally been a strong point of Samsung smartphones, and the Galaxy Note 4 is no exception. The device takes excellent photos, the quality is quite comparable with the pictures taken by some not the cheapest “digital camera”. Recorded video is good. It looks great on the phone screen, and looks good on the computer.

It uses a 16 megapixel camera, the maximum image resolution is 5312 x 2988, video is 3840 x 2160 (UHD). Sony module and proprietary ISOCELL technology are used. At the same time, there are all the familiar functions, including selective focus (after the shot is taken, you can change it and “blur” the desired area, while you don’t have to reshoot the object again). HDR Mode, Panorama, Selective AF, Virtual Tour, Post Effect), including shooting modes.

The main functional improvements relate to the front camera (3.7 megapixels, lens with aperture F 1.9): panoramic selfies with a viewing angle of up to 120 degrees and automatic shooting when blinking / smiling. Noisy groups of friends will be pleased with this Korean innovation.

Memory and speed

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is powered by Samsung's latest SoC, Exynos 5 Octa 5433, based on the 20nm process technology. The octa-core processor here has 4 Cortex-A15 cores operating at up to 1.8 GHz, as well as 4 Cortex-A7 cores, the maximum operating frequency of which is 1.3 GHz. The graphics core of the SoC is the Mali-T760 GPU, clocked at 700 MHz.

In hardware, there is also a second version of the Note 4 - a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 with a frequency of 2.7 GHz, with Adreno 420.

During the test, I did not notice any glitches and slowdowns at all. Everything works smartly. But usually, for Android smartphones (in particular Samsung), slowdowns begin after a while, when the device is clogged with data. Initially, Note 4 is one of the most powerful smartphones right now. What is important, even in games and other resource-intensive tasks, the smartphone heats up quite moderately.

RAM here is 3 GB, as in Note 3. The amount of internal memory is 32 GB, it can be expanded with microSD cards by another 128 GB.

Communication options

In addition to the standard connection to a computer via microUSB 2.0, the Galaxy Note 4 supports Bluetooth 4.0. Bluetooth allows you to wirelessly connect peripherals such as A2DP/AVRCP stereo headsets. When connected via USB, the device is charged.

When connected to a USB port, there are several connection options: Media, Charge Only, MTP. In MTP mode, the device is perfectly picked up without additional drivers, you can copy the necessary data.

Note 4 works in Wi-Fi networks of a/ac/b/g/n (2.4/5 GHz) standards and can distribute Wi-Fi. The smartphone works without problems in mobile communication networks GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900, HSPA+ 850/900/1900/2100. Supports 4G+/LTE-A Cat.4 (150/50 Mbps).

Additional options include NFC and an infrared sensor.

Navigation is carried out using GPS, Russian GLONASS and Chinese Beidou.

Working time

Samsung has done a great job to ensure a satisfactory battery life of a smartphone with such powerful hardware and a large screen. On the one hand, there is a 3220 mAh battery here. On the other hand, there are optimization algorithms. With an average load, a full charge lasts for one and a half to two days, this is comparable to Note 3 or slightly worse. The smartphone plays video at maximum brightness with active Wi-Fi for almost 12 hours (Note 3 had 14 hours).

The Korean company Samsung annually pleases its customers with excellent models. The first smartphones of the Galaxy Note line were released as an experiment. However, their debut was so successful that it was decided to introduce the second generation. Flagship devices enjoyed increased consumer demand. The developers have tried to implement all innovative technologies as much as possible, thanks to which the gadgets of this line have become leaders in sales.

In the fall of 2014, the company introduced an updated device - Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Features, reviews and owner reviews of this model will be described in detail in this article. The developers did not deviate from the planned plan and implemented a number of popular technical innovations in Note 4. This is what made the devices of this line a key product. So, it's time to take a closer look at the features of the Galaxy Note 4 smartphone.

Design

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4, the specifications and photos of which are provided in our article, is a smartphone that is quite similar in appearance to its predecessor, the Note 3. Some buyers assure that it is almost impossible to find differences with a cursory examination. However, this does not mean that the new model is completely devoid of originality.

It should be noted right away that the device is a flagship, so the quality of the case material is quite high. During operation, the coating does not scratch at all, does not accumulate fingerprints. Most of the body is made of plastic. A metal frame runs around the entire perimeter. It not only increases the level of strength, but also performs a decorative role.

As for the dimensions, they are quite expected, as for devices with a large touch screen. The case height reaches 154 mm. The width indicator is optimally selected and is 79 mm. You can’t call this gadget thick - its thickness does not exceed 8.5 mm. But the phone looks rather bulky. The reason for this was the features of the case - right angles. Although, according to users, this is not a disadvantage.

On the front panel, all elements are located in the same way as in previous generations. For protection purposes, a special Gorilla Glass 3 glass was used. The control panel has one oval-shaped mechanical button, the other two are touch-sensitive. The lock key is displayed on the right side face, the volume rocker is on the left. At the top end there is an infrared transmitter, an additional microphone and a headphone jack. The microUSB port is located at the bottom. The plug is not provided, but this is not a significant disadvantage. On both sides it is surrounded by microphone holes. Here, closer to the right side face is the stylus.

Screen

Did users in the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 surprise with the screen characteristic? We can safely say yes! Compared to its predecessors, its quality has been greatly improved. The diagonal size is 5.7ʺ. At its core, the developers used a Super AMOLED matrix.

The display resolution has been increased, users can now enjoy Quad HD (2560 × 1440 px). Color reproduction is highly accurate, viewing angles are wide.

In their reviews, the owners of the gadget noticed that even with prolonged interaction with the screen, the eyes practically do not get tired. The resolution of the display also deserves laudatory odes. In this model, it is 515 ppi. According to experts, all screens that have more than 400 screens can be written down in the category of the best. A clear image is guaranteed under any operating conditions, including in bright sunlight.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Camera Review: Specifications and Reviews

The flagship models of the Korean manufacturer can easily compete with cameras. The Note 4 device has two optics modules. The main camera, located on the rear side, is equipped with a 16-megapixel sensor. It is based on Isocell technology. There is a flash.

This model has the function of optical stabilization Smart OIS. Thanks to it, users can get high quality pictures. The maximum photo resolution is 5312 × 2988 px. It is possible to work in video mode. Movies are recorded in UHD (3840 × 2160) quality.

The resolution of the front camera is less than the main one - only 3.7 megapixels. But users claim that the selfie is of high quality. It is possible to shoot in wide angle (120°).

After reading a large number of reviews, it's safe to say that the optics of the Galaxy Note 4 received high marks. All owners were satisfied with the implemented settings options and image quality.

Performance

The feature of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 would be incomplete if you do not consider its hardware. The N910S model is based on a Qualcomm quad-core chipset. Each compute module in the Snapdragon 805 processor is capable of overclocking at maximum load up to 2700 MHz. The chipset is paired with an Adreno 420 graphics accelerator.

It is also worth considering the possibility of modifying the N910C. It is intended for the Russian market. The domestic user will enjoy the work of the processor of its own production - Exynos 5 Octa 5433. It is based on eight computing modules, half of them Cortex-A57, the rest - Cortex-A53. The former are able to increase the frequency up to 1900 MHz, the latter - up to 1300 MHz. Video card type - GPU Mali-T760. Implemented support for LTE Cat4.

Specifications Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is limited not only to the description of the processor. An important indicator of performance is the amount of RAM. If you focus only on it, then the Korean gadget has practically no competitors.

The developers were able to implement three gigabytes of "RAM". The size of the integrated memory also did not upset buyers. It is 32 GB. According to most, this is enough for a full-fledged job. But some users noticed that not all storage will be available. About 10 GB of internal memory is already taken up by system files. But this did not upset the owners, as the device has the ability to work with external drives.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4: battery characteristics

An equally important criterion when choosing a smartphone is battery life. The Note 4 has a 3220 milliamp per hour battery. By studying the characteristics declared by the manufacturer, you can be sure that one charge is enough for the following:

• 16 hours of continuous talk;
• about 50 hours of work in the music player mode;
• 10 hours of video viewing;
• 850 hours in standby mode.

The owners in their reviews assure that with an average load of 100% charge is enough for two days of work. And this is a pretty good result.

Today we have on review, perhaps, one of the most interesting smartphones - Samsung Galaxy Note 4. I want to hold the device in my hands for a long time, study and show it, and also recommend it to all lovers of large screens and multifunctionality. Many users will, of course, end up with the current Note 4, because the phablet has no special competitors.

According to the external characteristics of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, some changes have been made. For example, it has become slightly larger and correspondingly heavier due to the partially metal body. The flip side of this is damage resistance.

On the back side, there is a design under the skin, which in fact is only specially processed plastic. It is worth noting that the back of the younger model looked more like leather due to a special feature in the form of stitching with threads. Here everything is rough and unskillful. But in general, despite the savings, the device looks solid.

Note 4 has a removable cover, which is often missing in modern smartphones. You can safely get the battery if you suddenly need it, which you can’t do with a monolith.

The gadget feels the continuity of generations of Samsung, but at the same time there are new notes. These include, for example, a certain texture on the front panel. The peculiarity of this texture does not allow to accurately highlight the touch buttons and the notification LED.

On the front panel, there is a front camera, sensors, a speaker grill and a small notification LED at the top. Below are two touch buttons: on the right - "Back", on the left - "Applications", and the central physical button "Home", which has a built-in fingerprint sensor, that is, a fingerprint sensor. It is not suitable for unlocking. The scanner is very difficult to hit, and it does not work quickly.

On the right side, you can find the power button, the “pen” (the main feature of the flagship), two microphones, and a Micro USB connector are hidden below. The stylus has become more sensitive. And also simplified the options that you can call with it. Now active notes (so-called quick notes) are synchronized when saved and remain in S-Note. The pen has become a little more comfortable and began to recognize even more clicks than before. You can: draw, write, edit, mark, etc. As a result, Note 4 turns into not just a smartphone, but a real working tool!

On the left side is a double volume rocker. It now looks a little different thanks to a small notch in the middle. Pressing the volume is now much more convenient.

At the top end there is a small rise, behind which there is a headphone and headset jack, an infrared port and another microphone. The infrared port was retained, but the Smart Remote application now has “glitches” and problems. You need to specifically download additional addons for it to work properly.

The smartphone received a huge number of sensors: ultraviolet radiation (in summer it can be relevant), earthly magnetism and light, pulse, blood oxygenation. How the latter works remains a mystery. The principle of operation of the remaining sensors is simple. One has only to place a finger on the sensor, the red light will light up and it will start working. During this, you can not move and speak to obtain accurate data.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is assembled well - nothing creaks or “plays”, as it should be with a smartphone from an A-class company. This quality is a clear improvement over the previous version.

Screen

The Note 4 has a very beautiful 5.7-inch screen. This is the optimal value, a little and a lot. The peculiarity of this display is that, unlike the Note 3, it is, as it were, above the surface with a pleasant roundness, and is not recessed as before. The display is hidden under the Gorillas Class 3, which does not bulge even when pressed hard.

Resolution - 2560 by 1440 pixels, that is, Cloud HD-screen. The resolution is huge, but it is rather just a tribute to modern fashion. Users are not sure whether such a resolution is really needed, because the eye ceases to distinguish the presence of graininess already from 2000 points. The dot density is 515 ppi.

The smartphone uses a Super Amolled Plus matrix, but as soon as you tilt the device to the side, the white color appears greenish, which is most likely due to the large thickness of the glass. There is a special very convenient mode for reading. In general, I would like to note that it has become very comfortable to read on Note 4 at any time of the day.

Processor, OS and autonomy

The phone has a Samsung Exynos 5410 processor, which is octa-core and runs at 1.9 GHz. Exynos 5410 is a 64-bit processor. The Samsung Note 4 has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Plus, you can expand the internal memory using MicroSD.

In any game you will not get any lags, only, for example, in GTA at maximum settings, and then, this is most likely an optimization problem.

The device is controlled by Android 4.4.4, which, unfortunately, has some lags. They are very small, but nevertheless they are sometimes present. Double-clicking launches the S-Voice assistant. Everything on the menu is quite simple, and you can organize it completely for yourself.

The Samsung Note 4 has a 3220 mAh battery that supports fast charging technology. But despite its presence, it is worth remembering that it “kills” the battery faster. Wireless charging is also possible. In general, the charge holds well, but not as much as we would like. On the day of the phone, in principle, enough.

Sound

I would like to note, as mentioned earlier, the sound in this device. Interesting new "chips" appeared in the recorder. There are several modes:

• Standard, that is, clicked and recorded the sound.
• Voice note, where the flagship recognizes the recorded voice and translates it into text. A very handy feature for some people.
• Interview mode. You are interviewing or negotiating face to face. The sound will be recorded in high quality both in front and behind, so that both speakers will be clearly heard in the end on the recording.
• Meeting mode. It is possible to record up to 8 people with the ability to turn off various sources.

Camera

The camera on the Samsung Note 4 is slightly larger than the previous model: the main one is 16 megapixels, the front one is 3.7 megapixels. She is now one of the best on the market, perhaps second only to the iPhone, but bypasses all the others. Tsvetosila - 2.2. The Note 4 works much better with light - the colors are better, lighter and clearer. Detailing has improved compared to the previous version.

A wide-angle lens is installed in the front camera, which is capable of taking wide-angle selfies.

Video is recorded in 720p up to 120fps, Full HD up to 60fps, 2K and 4K at 30fps. And now there is optical stabilization. It's just fantastic!

Results

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is an elegant smartphone with a number of interesting features that are given us not only by the shell from the Korean company, but to a greater extent by the stylus itself. By purchasing this phone, you will receive:

• Great screen.
• Great camera.
• There are many sensors that can measure a number of very rare indicators.
• A stylus that is extremely pleasant and convenient to use.

Video

Samsung, when introducing the flagship Galaxy S5 for each market, added an additional index to the model number of the device, so that it was immediately clear for which country and which operator this or that model was intended. So, for example, the Galaxy Note 4 for AT&T received the model number SM-N910A, for T-Mobile it is already SM-N910T, and the international version of the phablet is already with the model number SM-N910F, and so on. Naturally, given the huge number of countries and regions where Samsung releases its devices, this can lead to some confusion, but we offer you a detailed breakdown of all known Galaxy Note 4 model numbers, indicating the installed processor, country of sale, and type of communication supported.

There are over 20 different models in total, so even some countries will have multiple models available, so this list will be quite helpful and informative. You will immediately understand which model can be ordered in the online store if you do not want to overpay from a local retailer.
