Black Samsung Galaxy Note 4 sells out ahead of UK release
With the Galaxy Note 4 UK release date set to be held this Friday, October 17, Samsung has already listed the black rendition of the handset as ‘sold out’.

Despite the Note 4 price having been set at a premium £629, it does not appear this lofty fee is perturbing phablet fans.
Unveiled during IFA 2014 last month, the Note 4 is Samsung’s latest oversized, stylus-packing handset.
Running a 5.7-inch QHD display with a stunning 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution, the Note 4’s specs sheet is further enhanced by a 2.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor and 3GB of RAM.
With a 16-megapixel OIS camera on the rear, the phone’s features list is rounded off by Google’s Android 4.4 KitKat OS topped with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI and a new metal edged design.
Samsung is not alone in its stock woes either, the iPhone 6 has been hit by availability restraints since launch.
Many configurations of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are still listed online alongside 3-4 week dispatch times.
