Apparently the Note 4 is free with a new 2-year contract at AT&T, and I'm eligible to upgrade as of 2 months ago. I know I'll still have to pay the tax though. Although paying for the Note 5 isn't really a big problem, the lower cost of the Note 4 is enticing.
I looked into the two some more at GSM Arena (doing a compare). For the most part, they are the same, except when it comes to Platform (CPU, GPU, Chipset, and OS Version). The Note 5 appears to have some newer hardware and the potential to upgrade to a new OS after Lollipop (which might be the last OS for Note 4). I am wondering if those differences are significant enough to warrant the extra cost of the Note 5.

Then of course there's the missing expandable memory and fixed battery in the Note 5, which is a big turn off but something I suppose I could live with.
Sort of undecided (but leaning towards the Note 4) at this point and hoping some previous Note 4 owners that are current Note 5 owners could offer any input.
Thanks!
