It wasn't even close. The Note 4 is obviously the more quality product. The Turbo just looks tired and boring in a side by side comparison.
I really, really wanted to fall in love with the Turbo. On paper it's a beast. The screen doesn't get bright enough, the top mounted speaker is just OK... about on par with the mediocre speaker on the S5 and the camera is slow to respond. I guess I'll be waiting for either the S6 or M9 to get my smartphone lust fired up again. Until then I'll stick with the S5 a damn fine all around performer with some clear cut flaws. If the N4 wasn't so darn big I'd snap it up in a second. It's one incredibly impressive piece of technology with a drop dead display and SOTA camera.
