When I saw Iphone 6 Instead of it I want to try the android phone and note 4 is the top of cream so I start with this model. First impressions is great. you can watch YouTube and text at the same time. Or any other applications can be used with split screen. If you dont have enough battery you can turn it in to black and white and with ultra power saving mode it can go for a long time. It takes a while to get used to it after 5 years of iphone experience, but I like it. My only concern is I could not able to find how to put restrictions to apps that are using a lot of personal information. If you dont let them you can not use the app. Anyways I will get used to it and learn about it sooner.
There are too many good features to go through them all but a couple I like are the text while driving option and the messaging and texting platforms. Also the alarms, timer and stopwatch are better than other phones I've used.
Couple of things I don't like. It takes two steps to access my local wi-fi at home but five steps if I want to access the mobile network. Too many steps. There is also a flashlight option but only if you are in easy mode.
The phone contact list needs a lot of help. If you have a lot of contacts you are going to be scrolling a lot. Also trying to message someone or add someone is not very user friendly.
Not really impressed with the pen. Complicated to use. I mostly use it for typing on the small keyboard. The gestures are pretty useless as is the fingerprint screen lock. For reading your print ten times it would rarely open the screen.
So there are things I like and things I don't but I do know there is no phone that pleases everyone. There are more things I like than don't like and if some one wants to tackle the steep learning curve it would be a great phone for a more experienced user.
Pros: Realistic color, screen size, readability
Cons: navigation, expensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

Professional design and fectures and performance,
∆Display: is amazing and bright, can't beat the 1440p AMOLED display
∆features: love the S-pen and all the added stuff for it, also the camera, wow what a camera with 16MP with OIS, and don't forget that IR blaster at top,
∆proformace: the Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor is awesome, would of been nice to see the snapdragon 810 at work on the inside but ether way its snappy and fast! And gaming is beautiful on it.
∆design: the new metal frame all the way a round is great and feels amazing, the hole phone is solid and feels good in the hands,
∆battery: 3220mAh battery...enough said, the battery life is amazing last for awhile even if gaming or multitasking
