The Developer Edition of the Verizon Galaxy Note 4 is now available at Samsung's website. It costs $699.99 similar to the 32 GB model but features an unlocked bootloader.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Developer Edition For Verizon Wireless

Users who have not purchased Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and desire to have an unlocked bootloader can choose to select the Developer Edition for Verizon Wireless. According to Samsung's official website, the Galaxy Note 4 Developer Edition for Verizon Wireless costs $699.99 full retail price and features the same software and hardware specifications of the original, except for the unlocked bootloader.

The unlocked bootloader enables access to developer functions such as gaining root access, instalment of customised firmware, use of apps requiring root access and more. Unfortunately, the Galaxy Note 4 Developer Edition for Verizon is not available for any instalment plans and can only be obtained by paying the outright price.

Verizon currently sells the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 original variant at $699.99 full retail price with 32 GB internal storage. Buyers can choose between two instalment plans to obtain the phablet—$299.99 with a two-year contract or $29.16 via Verizon Edge with a two-year contract as well.

The rear camera is also supported by an optical image stabilisation module.
