I have the Note 5 and my son has the Note 4. We are on AT&T.
Haven't seen any issue on LTE but have noticed that I do get better wifi reception on the Note 5.
My wifi has split channel 2.4/5.0 ghz.

I'm still trying to decide on which has better reception.
One thing that I know for sure is that the signal indicator usually favors the Note 4.
At home my Note 5 has 1 bar, while the Note 4 has 3. But I haven't notice any lost calls or texts that I am aware of.
Once a week I go to a location that has really bad service and I do notice some drop off in call quality.
Not sure if it was an isolated case or not, I should have a better idea next time I go.

I am on the fence my self that's the reason i keep asking questions. I have had the note 2 , note 3 , note 4 , the note 4 is not a bad phone but i am always thinking about something better. You know how it is you want the best reception , best sound , fastest phone and so on.:confused:

I am thinking about the note 5. My wife had the Note 2 and it really struggled with a signal inside a building. Would you say its gotten better with the Note 3, Note4, and Note5?

I think the Note 4 is the best of the ones i have had but i think my wife's S 5 has better reception than my Note 4.

My note 5 turns off the cell radio for no reason at random times. Only fix is to restart my device

It has been two weeks since a post here so you have more time with your Note 5 to compare to the Note 4 reception so please post.
