Switching from HTC One M8 to the Note 4?

Re: switching from HTC One M8 to the Note 4?

The only one I might have to stretch for is Recents, but I don't use it too much so it's fine for me, and I'm tall so I have long fingers.

The size difference is really only apparent when it's in your pocket, and especially when you're sitting. It doesn't seem much bigger, but once you sit down you can very much feel that little extra width. If I go out to eat for example, sometimes it's uncomfortable enough that I'll just take it out and put it beside me on the table.

I think the speaker is a little louder, but it does distort heavily, and is just in general not good. I really despise it still being on the back. Going back to the restaurant example, if I put it on the table most of the time I won't even hear it, because the table is blocking all the sound. And unlike the M8, the volume for notifications is separate from calls, so if you want to change it for notifications you have to hit the volume key, then the Settings gear, and change it from there which gets really annoying after the first time.

The 910C is the model with the Exynos, so yes. The Snapdragon 805 variant is 910S.

All the Note 4s have the Sony Exmor. Pretty sure the ISOCELL was a rumor and/or was scrapped.

Back in the short S4 days I had, the speaker had a sort of micro bump in the plastic that allowed the sound to not be muffled when posing it on a table, though the case I used was total flat so totally muffled.
The N4 doesn't have this little plastic bump?

it does have the bump, and with it and not using a case it gets louder, in my experience, by placing it on a flat hard surface because of the reflections. obviously if you set it on a big, thick, soft surface, like a blanket on top of a mattress, it's going to get absorbed and you won't really hear anything. but on a table, the speaker is pretty solid as far as phone speakers go
