I love this phone...it has every feature that I want plus some extras like fingerprint recognition which works great. I was going to wait fore the note 5 but I'm glad I got the 4...I have heard rumors that it may take the way of the s6 which I think would be a grave mistake. I like having access to the battery and the micro SD card which the s6 has neither!!!!
I like that is has all the features but it is very big. I did want something a little bigger than the Samsung galaxy s111 but this is by far double the size. I think I want to go back down a notch. But the battery life is amazing. I have not complaints.
This is my first Android phone after using a different operating system phone for the past ten years. The screen is bright and clear this really comes across when reviewing photos, which are just awesome. The stylus comes with replacement tips, which you will need because you will want to use it all the time. It is instantly responsive, even changing ink width with change in applied pressure. The outside is not cluttered with buttons and the overall look is very sleek. The back-cover has a leather-grain pattern which helps me hold onto the phone better. Some people have said that the phone is large, but I don't think so because I have long fingers, so it is the perfect size for me. As a singer, I keep my digital sheet music on the phone, and I don't have any trouble reading it. Overall, I LOVE this phone. I wish I had switched sooner. The ONLY thing that bothers me about this phone is that the overall color scheme cannot be changed without downloading an extra app (unless I just haven't figured out how). I don't like when the colors on my phone change, but I am willing to put up with that because I don't believe that there is another phone on the market that fits my lifestyle more perfectly than this phone.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, stylus, great camera, looks elegant but not showy, multiple windows!, multiple text imput methods, lots of possible adjustments for personalized sett, pick your own font, great sound
Cons: too much bloatware, can get hot fast when watching videos, unchangeable menu colors
I would recommend this to a friend!

i find it esay to use and the all the options are there at hand. it play well with the samsung level headphones. i like it so much i purchased the 10.1 2014 edition.
I upgraded from a Galaxy S4. My new phone takes fantastic pictures. I do not even use a camera anymore. The screen is big enough that I can check my e-mail and Facebook without a problem.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color

I love having a phone that let's me feel like I am in control. This phone not only let's me change the wallpaper, lockscreen, and add widgets, but has many more customizable options. I love being able to change my messaging wallpaper, contact pictures, and even fonts. This is my favorite phone yet!
