I travel just about every week of the year for work and this phone has been fantastic for keeping up with emails, reviewing documents on the go (big screen helps a lot, though not as good as a laptop or tablet), surfing the net and streaming video. Moreover, it takes beautiful photographs! Whenever in a group setting and all the Apple phones come out and we all take the group photo with all the phones, all my Apple friends like my phone's picture the best and ask me to send it to them. One constructive criticism is all the bloatware that comes with the phone and you cannot uninstall. Samsung, please let the owner's of your phones decide what software apps they need or don't need and let them delete/uninstall the apps they don't want or need! All-in-all, I have been extremely happy with this phone.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

The note 4 is amazing from what I've seen. 5.7 QuadHD Super emoled. Best display in the market. Even better than the lg g3. I can't wait till it comes out
Ladies and gents the galaxy 4 has arrived, and I must say it is worth every penny. This phone is the perfect companion to your everyday life. The productivity features are amazing the design, build, quality is superb! I would recommend visiting your local retailer to test this work of art out.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, functionality, great battery life
Cons: small speaker, no matching color in box accessories
I would recommend this to a friend!

Some nice featrures but also significant irritations produce a mixed result thus far

There are some nice features such as the excellent screen. The battery life has been good thus far. I also like how there are less carrier limitations than on the Note 3. The side menu is useful for one-handed use. Also, the processor is faster and thus most screen transitions are smoother. This is the first US based Samsung phone I have used that supports the "Find my phone" feature and its re-activation lock. The fingerprint scanner works well and I like private mode. While it is not Knox (which consumers should get to use, especially on such an expensive phone)
However, there are also some disappointments and a few irritations. Chief among these thus far is that the back button is smaller than the Note 2 or 3. So one must press EAXACTLY on the back symbol to activate that function. The Samsung employee in the Samsung experience shop said this was because people complained that the button was getting accidentally touched and triggered. I could not disagree more. I strongly feel that Samsung over-corrected, or should have a setting if it really is part of the capacitive display.
Another problem is that it adopts the new flat UI scheme that all phones seems to be converging on. In my opinion this is ugly, childish, un-professional and cheap looking. The Note 3 had better looking software. The Note 4 changes sensors; the pulse oximeter and UV sensor are marginally useful and the pedometer function does not work correctly without a wearable device. It counts 2 to 5x the actual number of steps I take. The Note 3 had a thermometer and hygrometer which worked when the phone was set down for a few minutes; these were removed to have a metal side band so it could look more stylish and presumably to compete with the company's main competitor.
No phone sold by and made expressly for a carrier can get a 5 star review since that is a corrupt business practice in my opinion, and I thus rated the Note 3 a 4 star. The Note 4 has some nice features and its nice to see google wallet and find my phone work, but the overall experience is average due to the sacrifices made for design and the smaller back button. I am thus not sure if I would recommend it or not.
Pros: Bright display, google wallet support, camera, improved stylus
Cons: Did not meet expectations, back button too small, expensive
