Some issues but overall a quality phone
I purchased this phone used so I wasn't expecting a perfect product. The phone has major autofocus issues making the camera almost unusable. Looking online though, it appears there are many NEW phones that also have this issue, so be wary. There are also spots on the lens so I'm thinking that any dirt that has gotten under the protective glass is what is throwing off the autofocus. For 3 dollars, you can purchase a kit that will allow you to remove the old glass, clean off the lens, then install new glass so I will be doing this to see if this improves the camera.
The battery life also has some issues but, with light use and some careful monitoring, you can still get through the day.
The screen is beautiful and the phone is very fast making it excellent for browsing, gaming, and multitasking. The speakers are loud and the quality of sound is great, making me question why I bothered purchasing a mini bluetooth speaker to go along with it.
Overall, the camera issue is an annoyance but feels salvageable and the rest of the user experience is so positive that it makes the phone totally worth the $280 I spent on it.Read full review...

Better than the Note 2....but.....
I am impressed with the quality of the screen and the size. The pre-loaded apps are useful and not useful. Just like any phone, this one has a lot of bloat software. The camera has good images when it focuses on images with distance. If you do deposit checks by phone it is not ideal. The camera more often then not doesn't focus on close images at all. Overall, I would recommend this phone if you are looking for a refurbished phone with decent options. A better camera which focuses closeup would improve it.Read full review...

Note4 Verizon
Great picture, sound, and a generous 5.7 display with very qualified photography and editing capabilities. If you sketch as I do, the stylus and editing programs provide a digital sketch pad that you can zoom into for high detail work then zoom out for overall additions. Unlike notes priir to/after the 4, this one allows purchase and easy quick battery swaps for endless use. I don't use any of the Samsung specific apps with exception to the keyboard, which is customizable (it's like wallpaper for.ylur keyboard background). With expansion for memory and battery, anyone whim uses their mobile devices for all tasks, this is the handset to get. Sufficed to say that even with new gen. models, this still holds its own to this day. Did I mention that the battery isn't sealed in and can be swapoed out in monents? Get a thick glass protector and case to protect the lightweight aluminum frame and large screen and get to businessRead full review...

Last Great Samsung
In my opinion, this is the last great Samsung phone. I love that I am able to have an external memory card, and removable battery. I understand that the new Samsungs have fast charging, but I am not always able to be around a phone charger/wall jack for power. I carry an extra battery with me when I travel, and I am able to do everything I need, and simply swap the battery out when power is low.
While I understand that the Note 7 will have the expandable memory, I wish Samsung would listen to its consumers and allow us the choice to have an open back so we can rapidly change our batteries!Read full review...

It'a pretty good phone.
I've had other Samsungs in the past so there are no particular surprises here (good or bad). It's large by design with a very nice large screen. Performance is pretty good, but there are definitely times where some apps seem to lag a bit. However, some of that could be poor data/network performance. My Verizon coverage isn't the best. Battery life isn't great - I get less than a days use. However, this has been a pattern for me over the years and may also be related to my less than stellar network coverage. Overall this Note 4 and the Galaxy line have worked well for me and multiple family members over the years.Read full review...

Great value for someone who needs a good smartphone!
It shipped with two batteries and a screen protector was installed. I was thinking that the 2nd battery was used. If it was used I cant tell. It appears that it is a new or like new battery and I think the other battery was new! So with my two batteries and my other two batteries from my previous phone I am in pretty good shape. I also use a battery power case, so I am loaded for bear so to speak with my phone. It was a really good value!!!!Read full review...

Good for the price
I purchased a used phone so I knew the product wouldn't be 100% perfect. Few marks on it, looks almost brand new. The battery life is manageable. Can't use it as often as i would like. The screen and camera (front & back) are excellent. Nice clean pics. Overall satisfied with my purchase.Read full review...

Not brand new but overall good
OK so this phone is obviously not new. It has small dings and scratches on the outside. However, it was not pre owned as the imei has never been registered. And it works like new. Which were the two most important factors to me. Don't care much about the cosmetics as long as the damages are only minor, which they are. All in all its a good buy and for the price point, tough to beat. This phone is amazing and I am overall a satisfied customer.Read full review...

Still a Very Good Phone - 2017
The Galaxy Note 4 still a good phone to buy at 2017. With Marshmallows 6.0.1 the phone work fast and even has Google Assistant now. Just press and hold the home button to launch GS. Very good camera, beautiful 5.7 Super AMOLED display, SD card slot, removable battery, S Pen, IR blaster for remote control and more... This is really a great phone with internal hardware that still give you a pleasant experience. I really don't have any complain with this phone. If you buy one in very good condition you will have a beautiful phone that will work fast and reliable 99% of the time. Just watch some reviews videos from YouTube and you will see that the majority of people that use it is happy with the Note 4. The best thing is that you can find a good condition N4 for around ~$200. If you looking for a cheap but very good phone, this is one of the best options even if is used. I love my Note 4 and you might love it too.Read full review...

Grand daddy of Smart phones
I owned a Note 2 when it first came out. Year plus later I damaged the screen. I reviewed other smart phones before replacing it. Decided to go with something different. HTC M one 8. Owned this for several months. Just never could feel the same level of comfort. Web surfing not as convenient. Letters were not as sharp on web sites. Extremely poor camera. Camera was a total surprise, because I knew going in Camera was not a strength of that phone. But when went places (Grand canyon) and saw pictures coming out pathetic, it was disappointing. Still I was just going to keep the M8.
Recently I saw one of my nephews tinkering with his Note 4. Note 4 appeared way faster and way crisper. I ordered one on EBay. Absolutely no regrets. Best smart phone I have owned so far.
Disclaimer: I have not owned any apple phones so far.Read full review...

Awesome screen with replaceable battery
If you want an Android phone with a bigger screen and replaceable battery, this is a great option. At this point (May 2016) the Note 4 is a good value. If you can find one that is in excellent condition, it's basically the same as the Note 5, but significantly cheaper. It also has a replaceable battery, unlike the 5. The battery life is quite good, but it is still the weak link in the system if you use your phone a lot.
The phone has a physical "home" button, and touch "back" and "view all open Apps" buttons below the screen. I was disappointed there's no longer a "menu" button as on my old Droid, but all the aps seem to have a good menu button in-screen, so I don't miss it too much. You can do a split screen with two apps, which is also very nice.
And the screen...oh the screen! This is the moneymaker for this phone. It is glorious. It's big (2-3/4" w x 4-7/8"h), and clear. I can't even see the individual pixels. You will never go back to a smaller screen again, but this is probably about as big as is practical. It fits in my hip pockets, but it sticks out the top. It also fits in the generous breast pocket of my coveralls, but there is no room to spare. But for actually using it, it's great. I have medium sized hands, and I have to work to reach the left side of the keyboard when typing one-handed, but I don't notice it much anymore. And typing two-handed is a breeze. The haptic feedback is great, and the keyboard finally has the numbers above the QUERTY row, all the time. You get special characters with a long hold of the keys, which saves having to go to the special character keyboard. The Swype text input feature works really well, but it takes some practice to get faster than typing just because it's a different input style.
The S-pen is a solid feature; I haven't used mine a lot, but it feels like magic watching the cursor appear as you hover over the screen. Handwriting recognition is pretty good, if you want to be able to have some tablet-like functionality it would probably be great for drawing and such.
As a phone, it works great. When you pull up contacts or recent calls, a swipe to the right will dial the person immediately, without having to go through another confirmation. It doesn't feel weird holding such a big phone to your ear; it's not like talking on a tablet.
If you're considering getting a phone with a bigger screen, just do it. You will wonder how you ever lived without it, and really, we spend a bit of time on our phones, so you may as well have the biggest screen you can practically haul around. This is an awesome specimen.Read full review...
