Pros: S pen, really fast charging, large battery, great cameras, great screen, multi-tasking, removable battery, removable storage
Cons: Rear facing speaker, freezing apps (probably due to the app)
As someone who works in IT, I try to be open to lots of different types of technology and brands. I see and read lots of different reviews for various types of phones, and this one has a lot to love. I can understand people's fondness for certain ecosystems, and I tend to favor Android for the available customization. My previous phone was a Galaxy S4. The feature I've come to appreciate the most on the Note 4 is the fast charging. I'm a heavy user and with my previous phone battery life was a big problem. This phone (with a larger battery) charges completely in just over an hour. I'll likely get a spare battery in the future anyway (I love being able to swap it out), but being able to stay really active with my phone is fundamental to me enjoying all the other many features of the phone. After two months, I anticipate having this phone for multiple years.

It's fast, It's perfect size, and my favorite part is being able to pop in a spare battery and having full charge immediately on the go! I'm a huge power user, I'm always on my phone and also use navigation app everyday while driving. (I'm on Sprint, so I don't have data and voice at same time while driving, sadly! ). I also take tons of pictures (dogs, kids, everything! ) and I am so glad I can put a huge sd card in this to store them on and have them physically on my phone because I don't always have good service (again I'm on Sprint! ) and the cloud or Dropbox can be slow. The camera takes great pictures, even in the dark! I love the Samsung calendar on this phone, especially the widget. I just can't recommend this phone enough!

I enjoy this phone because I can do so much with it. The camera is very high quality so it takes great pix and videos. The stylus allows me to select and attach things from Web pages and the battery life is nice too. This phone is not for someone looking for something dainty. This is a full blown phablet. I can easily slip it into my front pocket and not feel it's a nuisance. I highly recommend the phone over any iPhone.

This is my first phablet device & Samsung destroyed everything out with this baby! Everything from the large vibrant quad hd screen, fast quad core processor & the phenomenal large capacity & quick charging battery makes me a note fan from here on out. Even the note pen is great for small detail games & apps that your fingers would normally cover comes in very handy. The only con I can honestly say about this phone is the vibrate feature is very much on the soft side which can make it hard to feel in a holster or pocket. Other than that, which is very minimal, this is easily the best phone out.

Easy to use, large enough screen that wearing glasses is optional. I love the S Pen & how my notes change to clear, crisp script. I use this function to jot down info during a business meeting, speaking with a colleague & anytime I only have a few minutes to capture "important items needed to remember", business contact info or various info that's too much info to memorize and a pad a paper w/pen is inconvenient.
Also, the apps are excellent that were preloaded. A great surprise. . The camera is also meets my expectations and then some. I now take a photo, log on to CVS, upload my photo & pick up the photos in no time. I have received many compliments at work around my new photos I continue to bring each week.
Overall, a must have phone for Android Lovers. I had the iPhone 5 and switched back to Android. I have not regretted the choice at all. The initial cost was a bit high even with upgrades but once I utilized the phone and spent time going through the 1001 applications, the $$$ was worth it.

I've had my Galaxy Note 4 for about 6 months now and this product never ceases to amaze me!
It has a ton of features, some of which I am still finding out about. Picture quality is the best I've seen yet on a camera phone. It is a little big, but you get used to that after a while. I can still fit it in most of the pockets in my clothes.
The battery power is excellent whether I'm on Wi-Fi or mobile data! I use my phone heavily for various things (ex. gameplay, movies, calls etc.) throughout the day and after work I still have anywhere from 20%-30% power without ever recharging when I start with 100% power in the morning. I don't even carry my charger around with me anymore!
I'm coming from a Galaxy 3 which wasn't a bad phone itself (I'd probably still have it if my digitizer hadn't gone out in my screen). The Galaxy Note 4 does everything it did but bigger, better, and faster(whenever you can take full advantage of Sprint's spotty service). It's just like a laptop or a tablet, only with the Note 4, you can text and make calls.
The only real negatives have with this phone, and really these are more Sprint service issues, are you can't talk and surf simultaneously and the company's spotty mobile data and almost non existent 4G LTE service.

Upgraded to the Note 4 from the Note 2, quite honestly was still fairly happy with the 2 but the battery was on its way out and the Best Buy promo price was cheaper then a new battery, and after reading about the 5's specs I decided I didn't want to wait for it. the 4 has very snappy response, pretty good battery life and a beautiful screen. The camera is also pretty good, if you're looking for a phablet sized phone can't go wrong with the Note 4. Sadly samsung has ruined the line up by taking away the sd card and removable battery on the note 5 much like they did to the s6.

The Note 4 has really good battery life and charges fast especially with the adaptive fast charger it comes with. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a crystal clear screen and camera. However I do wish more of the hand motions and air gesture features carried over from the Galaxy S4 on this phone and the rest of the more recent Samsung products, but don't forget you're not limited to those features with this phone there are pen and hand motions and gestures that work great. The phone is fast and gets the job done! Overall it's a solid phone with nice metal accents around the body of it! I highly recommend it!

I was hesitant to purchase this phone because of it's size. I had originally balked at the ideal of having a "phablet" but after spending some time with several other phones, I kept going back to this one. The screen is outstanding, and is the obvious feature that brings this phone some "wow" factor. For me though, the camera, and battery life are what really stand out. My previous phone, the HTC One (M7) suffered from the "pink hue" issue on all of the photos I took, no matter the lighting conditions. The camera on the Note 4 takes much better images. The real shocker for me though was battery life. I'm a heavy user, and I'd find myself plugging my M7 in around lunch time at work with a battery life around 30%. With the Note 4, I usually find myself at home after work with a battery life of 30% or greater without having plugged the phone in all day.

Been using an S2 for several years now and its a great phone, but this one beats it hands down. Great volume, clear speech, lightning fast touch screen and all the bells and whistles you could ever need. Battery life is more than doubled from my S2 (and it has a new battery). I've looked at some of the "newer" phone models out there but all-in-all except for Edge Screens and larger memory none are that much greater than this Note 4 and their prices are MUCH MUCH higher than this offer. All I can say is "Get you one before this offer expires". Samsung has a current glut of phones and Sprint is looking to either obtain new customers or tie their old customers (like me)15 years)) to an extended Contract (two years). The combination of 'want to get rid of and want to get' is too good to miss. This deal is too good to turn down. I highly recommend this phone, especially at the price: $1.00 plus State Sales Tax (my Florida tax was $.07). If you are just "replacing" an older model phone and it was already with Sprint then there is NO CHARGE to transfer your phone to this one and you keep your phone number, contacts and apps.
I just read over this review and I sound like a salesman, believe me, I'm not. I'm 66 years old, retired, and always looking for a bargain. $1.07 for a $500+ "Flagship" phone that is less than a one year old model design (Release Date Aug. 2014) is indeed a bargain! Its like buying a brand new one year old $80K luxury car for $171.20.

Honestly, there are so many great things about this phone that I can't name them all. I love the size, being able to use the pen-which makes playing games and screen shots way easier, being able to have multiple screens open at once, and the volume because I'm a music junkie! I know my review isn't very helpful but the phone is awesome!

Although I enjoy the new features, I miss some of the applications the Notes 2 had that the Notes 4 does not have. I'm still learning about my new phone and all it has to offer but no complaints thus far. Awesome camera, fast service and dual screens are cool.The clarity of watching movies is also amazing and the screen size being a big plus! I cant believe its so light weight. The extra battery with self charger is cherry on the top! I am never without power. Great product Samsung. Love my Notes 4..still saying no to iPhones!
