Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is a great phone. One review indicated that the phone is an international phone. Not the one I got. My phone's product number indicated it would have been a T-Mobile phone (N910T) (see gsmarena dot com). Regardless, it is fully functional on U.S. networks and operates on the 4G LTE network. What is really nice about the phone is that it has 3GB of RAM and 32 GB internal memory. The most current (more expensive) phones have made incremental improvements for much more money. The phone also has a micro SD slot for additional storage. I bought the 64GB Samsung pro+ micro SD which has a 90MB/second write speed, making use of the phone's faster processor speeds. See J. Yang's November 29, 2015 comparative review on Amazon regarding SD cards. This particular phone has the quad-core Qualcomm 2.7 GHz processor and its operating system is KitKat 4.4. Samsung also made the phone with the octa-core Exynos 7. While I was trying to learn if the Note 4 octa-core was going to work domestically, the last one sold :( :( ! My research indicates the octa-core is slightly faster. My Qualcomm is good. Both run on the current 64-bit system. Searches are reasonably quick. Email interface and settings are great. Downloads and live streams work well. GPS navigation is really good. The only disappointment is that the literature indicates that the Note 4 OS is upgradeable to Marshmallow. After getting the phone, Samsung Best Buy could not find a download, and third party vendors I visited were not familiar with doing the upgrade. The literature indicates Marshmallow enables more apps to operate from the SD card, which would have been a very nice feature and for which I planned in buying that 64GB Samsung Pro + microSD. The phone comes with an excellent earpiece, something I use all the time. It has built-in noise cancellation, and my wife can now hear me when I am driving. There is a real difference for the people on the other end of the call. I also like the fact that the battery can be removed from this phone for replacement or forced shut-down (though I have not had to do either). The charger is a fast charger, and this phone's charging system is noticeably quicker than those on preceding models. This Note 4 also sports a very good camera. It has built-in stabilization and, between its auto-focusing system, megapixels, and lighting, the final outcome is a very high quality image. Last, the S-pen is great. I have actually gone paperless now in some settings. And whenever someone passes on some information about which I need to make a short or temporary note, the S-pen is with me and perfect for pulling out to make the quick note. The one negative of the S-pen is that it creates faint scratches on my Zagg Glass screen protector. I love the Zagg Glass for protecting the screen, and Zagg took care of the issue; but, the S-pen will scratch it. You'll love the phone.

This phone has a great screen and battery life....
