This phone is more like a tablet and or computer than any other phone I have seen. The screen is amazing to watch shows, movies, Netflix, and sports on. The battery lasts for days and can pop out. There is not much this phone cannot do. The power, display, battery life, and durability are unmatched by any other phone on the market. I would highly recommend this phone to anyone.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable
Cons: Too big
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not bad

I used android for years, switched to an iPhone 4s after having a galaxy nexus, a galaxy 3 and then a note 2 (in order).
In my opinion and for what I do. The iPhone was and is an excellent device. There is no question, all of those phones were better phones with more power and capability than an iPhone. And as typical of androids they almost always are. However, I phones are better and tend to be used more and loved longer with more people staying with apple products because of the ease of use factor. They just work. No need for fancy gimmicks when it works.
This note 4 that I have is close. Its as good of an android device as I've ever seen. I wish there was as much back end support for the devices. My iPhone 4s was still getting updated to the newest os the second it was available for every other iPhone. You don't have that with android, you wait and wait and wait. That needs to be fixed.
In the end, I do like this note 4. I've always been a fan of Samsung android phones. I think they're the best Android has, even better than what Google can do on its own. It's got great features and great tutorials. Its snappy and powerful and handles everything I throw at it. Good phone.
I don't love it tho, I loved my iPhone and may return to a newer model of that. I may also try the note 5. In the end, it's the details that matter to the end user, to me. It's not how much it can do, it's not the spen, wasn't siRI or ios that I loved, it was the simplicity. It never slowed down, always fluid. It didn't do as much sure, but what it did do was perfect. The screen wasn't huge, but it was crisp. Didn't have 3 gigs of ram, but it was always snappy. It just worked, the way you wanted it to, the way you thought it should.
Your close Samsung, close. The hardware is better, it's the fine details of the software you need to up. You don't need to do everything, just do what you do better than everyone else. I don't need all those settings, I just need it to do what it's supposed to.
Oh and battery life. Yeah... terrible. I got a used note 4, bought new batteries and new chargers (Samsung oem batteries and chsrgers) it's not them, it's your software. Toooooooo much going on to keep the battery up. That's one of those things the iPhone does well, it's battery, even smaller than yours on the new 6s just lasts forever. I've got some friends with the 6s and 6 plus, we ran them side by side and their battery just never quit where I had to recharge after an hour of heavy heavy use, they were still at 70 percent running the same apps on roughly the same size screen. I have to recharge at least once during the day, they have to recharge after work.
Your getting there!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The phone has an issue with battery and how much it actually states you have keft before needing a charge
I love my Note 4. I replaced a Note 2 for this phone. I love the larger screen. I have such a hard time reading other people's phone who have smaller screens. My vision isn't great, and maybe that's why, but I thoroughly enjoy the larger size.
I like the thumbprint password feature.
I like that I can open (and close) multiple windows at a time and can switch between them. The back button at the bottom of the phone is especially useful.
I don't currently use the S Pen, so I cannot review that feature.
Pros: Bright display
I would recommend this to a friend!
