I have been able to upgrade for a couple years, so when I finally did so I chose the Galaxy Note 4 due to the larger screen size, it is heavier the the S3 or ipkone, it works pretty much the same as the Galaxy 3 but the OS isn't as user friendly as Galaxy 3, it will take time to get use to getting around the phone. My biggest issue was with Negative color, it is an accessibility tool for low vision users, the issue is, when negative colors is being used, it also inverts the camera colors, with help an easy way was found to toggle Negative Colors on and off.
Point blank; The phone has minor issues, but then again, what phone doesn't? I have run into a few minor software issues such as touchwiz crashing and the phone randomly freezing and restarting (mainly when I am swapping to google hangouts from another app) but overall, this phone does EXACTLY what I bought it for. Productivity, plain and simple. This phone has the power to multi-task every app I have thrown at it (and I game and read manga A LOT). I love the pen and it's super handy to just write down a note on the go while talking on the phone if I need information (the Wacom digitizer in the screen is very responsive). The size is also perfect for me. I will probably never go back to a phone smaller than this size ever again. This is the most comfortable typing experience I have ever had on a phone (NO MORE FAT FINGERING!) and I enjoy the fingerprint sensor for the added security, although, I do wish it was just a touch and done sensor rather than a swipe since it sometimes isn't the most accurate but I still enjoy it none-the-less. I also love the aesthetics of the phone. I bought the black one with the leather-styled back cover and I like the way it feels (however I still use a case because I am paranoid about cracking the screen). Overall if you are wanting a daily powerhouse that will literally last you all day (the battery is awesome) while doing any and everything you want it to, then this is the phone for you.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable
Cons: fingerprint sensor could be more accurate
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love everything about this phone. Can do just about anything with this phone, and Samsung is a grand I trust for great quality in their phones.
Everything electonic i buy samsung...Samsung is by far the best!! The Samsung note 4 is the best phone I've ever owned and I have had many phones....I love the screen size and the width....I'm really not sure what all the hype is about certain other phones...I personally can't stand them.....I can't wait til I'm able to get an upgrade so I can get the note 5 or 6. Sadly, though, I still have to wait a year, but maybe with a new tablet it will make time go by faster!
This is the best phone I have had. The screen, and functions are great. Thought about the Note 5, but really wanted the SD Card ability and removable battery. I have been very pleased with the performance. Thanks Samsung for making a great phone.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: can be tough to handle with 1 hand
I would recommend this to a friend!
