alot quicker to me. I love it. All the forums I post on has tapatalk. I actually tend to post on forums due to tapatalk being an option.

It's better for browsing, but I've found that replying to threads is awful in tapatalk.
Setting up my N4 and so far it rocks. Even with all the bloatware from Samsung and TMO, this sucks is fast and haven't experienced any lag so far. Feels and looks like a premium device, hopefully sales will skyrocket for Samsung again with the N4. I'm very impressed with it and believe it's Samsung's best device so far.
My only gripe is if I want to root now or wait until there's TWRP recovery and do it. Not really worried about tripping KNOX since it doesn't void your warranty if you do. It just doesn't allow you to take advantage of KNOX features which I plan to test out to see if its worth it or not.

I tried it. It can't open in multi window pop up or split multi window. Probably got to wait for an update, pretty sure users will make noise about it.
Are you sure about knox not voiding your manufacturers warranty? I've looked online about this and I have seen posts where people have had their faulty phones refused to be fixed by Samsung due to knox being tripped...
I worked for Samsung tech support, tablets and laptops mostly
I've never saw a case of warranty denied because of Knox; i advised to restore the phone after I setup the device for service but mainly so they backup any important data and not claim nobody told then everything would be erased; if device was able to perform of course.Great phone and what a difference between it and my former S4
It runs really smooth, I can finally play videos at 1080p @ 60fps. Played Asphalt 8 for a bit. I'm not use to seeing that game not dropping frames, so it was too fast in comparison to my S4. Battery life is insanely good, in comparison to my S4. But it's still too soon to see how it is in general. I've been slowly downloading all my apps, so I'm still not in regular use mode. I'm liking the S-Pen more than I thought I would, but I still have to learn a lot about it.
That QHD screen, completely worth it to me . I haven't played much with the camera yet, but well, it's a new toy, plenty of time to play with it
Definitely worth the money to me, unlike last year which I was a bit upset with the S4 after I saw the Note 3.

can some one with the note 4 test some benchmarks on it and post the scores here so i can see if it performs much better then the note 3 i got now ? i am talking about the snapdragon 805 version.
I'm so jealous of all these glowing reviews. I cancelled my pre-order with Verizon so I can get it thru Best Buy with the $200 discount. I can't wait, I'm getting the white variant this time around.
I only ran Antutu Once. I have the S805 version
Antutu: 46,484
Geekbench
Single Core: 1,103
Multi Core: 3,231
Is your Note 4 the Snapdragon or Exynos version ???
Interesting result ... Pretty much identical to my Galaxy Alpha results
Antutu ..... 48396
Sunspider
Default browser ....448 ms
Chrome .... 678.4 ms
Of course Antutu is being pushed at QHD compared to 720p so that's still quite some power in the Note 4
These two new devices Alpha & Note 4 really do show Samsung is doing a good job both aesthetically and in its powerful hardware.

Those are snapdragon results.....others posted similar on actual android forums...the phone has plenty of power
Thanks guys.
Cool. If I hadn't gone off phablets - the note 4 would most certainly be a must buy over all other big devices - however I must say I am more than happy with the Galaxy Alpha

There is defiantly one thing you benefit from the size of the Alpha. And that's using the fingerprint sensor. The finger print sensor on the Note works great, but the phone is too big to just flip out and swipe my thumb without being conscious not to drop it. I think it's as accurate as iPhone's touch ID, but I hope Samsung eliminates the need to swipe and we could just rely on touching the home button with future phones.
I always thought the fingerprint thing was just a gimmick when it came out on the iPhone. Since I got the 6+ and its the first device I used it with I have definitely changed my mind in that regard.I need a passcode on my phone due to work encryption and it is such a nice little featue versus a passcode everytime and it works 100% of the time and super quick.
I havent messed with the Samsung one yet but would think they get to a point where its a finger lay versus a swipe as its much more seamless.
Glad to read you folks are liking it, now you know why I cannot stay away from Best Buy to try it especially since the Play Store is available on a demo. RR3 looked great and ran real smooth.
Friday cannot come soon enough.

I am sure this has been answered time and time again. With the best buy offer, do you just bring them your old phone and they knock $200 off the price of the phone? For example, could I buy it outright from best buy for ~$600? I have t-mobile and it doesn't show the unlocked phone on best buys website.
