It took awhile for me to take the leap with lack of removable battery and memory. I think it was worth it this 64 gb should hold up for few months. This Verizon unlimited data I use like crazy lol

Was about to go on my third G4 then Sprint said that they are having so many problems with them they are swapping them out with an S6 for free. My wife couldn't have been happier. I got the Note 5 and she got the S6.

Yeah I was told that by a Verizon rep that a lot of the G4s were going back also (touchscreen issues mostly). The managing storage is just something I'll have to get used to. Plus the Note 5's battery KILLS the g4s.

I dumped my G4 for the Note 5 also. The G4 was overheating where I had a weak cell signal and battery would tank. The Note 5 has been absolutely perfect, the best Android I've owned.

If it's the battery with cradle, I'll gladly take it off your hands. Just let me know how much you want for it?

I own a G4 currently, but I completely understand why you went to the Note 5.

You will be more than satisfied with it. I played with one and it's awesome.

Yeah I mean I think g4 wins on camera but Note 5 is right behind it by like a hair.

Picture quality, maybe but the note 5 camera is easier to activate with double clicking the home button and it takes shots quicker in less than ideal situations

I'd say it's about the same in speed of launching camera, G4 had double tapping volume key to launch its app also.

In theory it's suppose to be as fast, but I can say that when I had my G4 it was not nearly as reliable as the S6 double tap. When it worked for me it was as fast but sometimes I found myself double tapping two or three times just to get it to work. With the S6 it worked the first time every time. I got rid of my G4 a few months ago so maybe it's been addressed with a software update.

I'd love to have the Note 5 but I'm not a fan of the glass backs and no microSD bugs me. I like LG a lot but their phones have never "wow-ed" me. Of course, neither has a Samsung, but the latest Samsung phones are a far cry from the Samsung of old.
