No Note 5 for me. Note 5 went backwards when they dropped the SD card slot and removable battery.
Plus there is NO improvement with the screen size and resolution. What is the point of Note 5???
I'll wait until 2016 and see what is out there... meanwhile, I'm very happy with my Note 4.
Mine is a one of a kind Note 4... won't see another like this one... custom paint!

Btw, for those who may still want to get a Note 4, ask for the SM-N910T3 variant if you are with TMobile. It's the latest one, I had the N910T during launch, this newer one seems faster, with the latest Android 5.1.1 out of the box.

Thanks

Re: Traded my S5 for a Note 4 last week!

Congrats! Enjoy!

Got mine on the 18th. Loving it, with a few minor annoyances that be overcome over time (think root). Still in testing phase so I'm just dealing with the ads and the extSD limitations until then. Rockin' Apex Launcher Pro, carried over from Note 3, and everything is smooth and fast. Another Beast of a device from Samsung. Everyone was right, IMO, when they said the N4 was the best one yet. Very happy here. :D

No IR blaster is no biggy since I never used it.
Note 4 has an IR Blaster, on the top right.

I'd say go ahead and update if you can update to 5.1.1 :)

I got mine from EE (UK), a refurbished good-as-new unit. A very good phone overall and certainly an upgrade from my Windows HTC 8X.

But I'm 'slightly' disappointed with the camera I have to say. Low light pictures can have a substantial amount of noise/blurring at times, video also seems rather choppy whether filming in 4k 1080p or even 1080p 60 fps.

Battery life seems reasonable, gonna have to get a secondary though.

What Android version is it on? And for battery life, go to Settings -Power Saving -Restrict Performance and tick CPU only. It barely affects the overall performance of the phone.

Update to 5.1.1 if available for your network.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try it out.
I'm on 5.0.1 right now. Don't know when/if I'll get the upgrade but I'm not desperate for it so no biggie.

Move to 5.1.1 the improvement is massive. You will feel like you are using a different, better phone.

I got mine a couple of weeks ago. I originally got a Droid Turbo, but traded it in for the Note 4. I love the phone.

1. It has every feature I want.
2. Samsung has a certain voodoo that they do to give the user a better experience, from the keyboard to little surprises.
3. Removable battery and SD card. This is bittersweet since this nice flexibility may be on the way out. I may keep my phone for longer because of this, like how people kept their old Lenovos because of the keyboard.
4. The size is sometimes an impediment.
5. My wife has the same phone in white. I took the manly black while she got the white. We match telephonically, which is the basis of any good marriage.
6. There are annoyances like the bluetooth popup and volume warning.

I've read about a problem with the Note 5's s-pen, but don't know how wide spread it is. Has anyone developed a problem with their s-pen breaking? I don't know the difference between the s-pens in Note 5 or Note 4, but it's been said that the Note 5's pen is very cheaply made, and mostly plastic. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.:p
