Ok guys, this is all opinionated of course, but I think that a lot of people (including myself) are a bit frustrated with the announcement of the Note 4, mainly for the lack of changes.
I put together a list comparing Note 2 to Note 3, which was a HUGE upgrade, and compared it to Note 3 to 4. As you can see, the two lists are very different when put next to each other:
note 2 vs note 3:
SD800 WAAY Faster than Exynos 1.6ghz
bigger screen
1080p vs 720p, better colors, 40% brighter
completely new features like air command, USB 3, multi vision, air gesture, able to use S-pen with capacitive buttons
from S4: IR blaster, glove mode,
better camera with new features, 4k video, slomo
Design completely new, new back, flatter front, sides that mimic a notebook
32gb storage, more ram, bigger battery,
taller, thinner, lighter; new integrated camera w/flash, cleaner look; speaker on bottom
LTE Advanced, 802.11ac
gorilla glass 3 vs gorilla glass 2
accessories: s-view cover, gear, wireless charging back, wireless s-view
note 4:
SD 805 (super fast gpu (good for 4k, better thermal design = better battery life), 2x memory bandwidth, faster cpu (15%), much better image processor, up to 300mbps let-a)
same size screen
2.5k vs 1080p, adaptive display, possibly super dimming mode (unknown), "basic" mode to get true RGB color accuracy in Note4
16mp cam with ois, 3.7mp ffc with 120 degree wide angle; side-touch “button”
Design similar; new metal sides, no stitching on back, camera is now split from flash module for heart rate sensor, like note 2, curved edged (2.5d) glass like note 2, small cuts in metal frame like iphone's antenna, black phone speaker grill, ffc moved more to corner, larger home button, edge matches color of phone's front & back
new features: 30 minute super charging, s-pen 2x sensitive, MHL3
From S5:Fingerprint reader, heart-rate sensor, ultra power-saving mode, multitasking button replaces menu button
completely new features: UV+SP02 sensors, fast-charging, bring content from one app to another with s-pen, select multiple items with s-pen like a mouse, pop-up screen, split-screen w/multiple apps, use heart rate sensor for selfies
same storage options, same RAM, battery 20 Mah more but 7.5% better; same integrated microsd/microsim module as note3, not in note 2
dimensions: narrower and thinner, but taller and heavier (N3: 5.95" x 3.12" x 0.33” in, 5.93 oz N4: 6.04" x 3.09" x 0.32” in, 6.21 oz)
speaker on back, camera and flash in 2 different components
LTE-A 300 mbps vs 150 on n3, 802.11ac with MIMO, bluetooth 4.1
same gorilla glass 3 as n3, 2.5d curved edge glass from note 2
like note 3, 3 mics, but improved in note 4; can focus on sound coming from one or two directions
accessories gear vr, Swarovski backs, montblanc pens+cases, samsung ruggedized note4 case, gear s, wireless charging back, wireless s-view
design negatives: taller, heavier, speaker on back; REMOVED: USB3, temperature & Humidity sensor
missing features: From S5: waterproof, ISOCELL BSI sensor, super-dimming unknown at this point; no dual-tone flash like iphone, speaker on back like Note2, not 64bit if snapdragon
unknown:super-dimming mode, PWM for screen dimming which was in note2 and 3, if signal is as good as note2 because note3 signal was worse
sensors (from samsung website):
Note 3:
Gesture, Accelerometer, Geo-magnetic, Gyroscope, RGB, Proximity, Barometer, Temperature & Humidity, Hall Sensor
Note 2:
Accelerometer, RGB Light, Digital Compass, Proximity, Gyro, Barometer
Note 4:
Gesture, Accelerometer, Geo-magnetic, Gyroscope, RGB,IR-LED Proximity, Barometer, Hall Sensor, Finger Scanner, UV, Heart Rate Monitoring, SpO2
I think after compiling this list, I've realized I can overlook some minor things like USB3 (even tho it was STUPID FAST!), sensors and a few other details. At the end of the day, I remember why I pick Samsung: Best-in-class screen, which is one of the biggest things about a pone, top-notch hardware, super fast, great (although sometimes useless) features, geek-friendly when it comes to expandability, removable battery/memory, customizable, etc.
That waterproof omission is going to sting tho :crying: Really was looking forward to underwater pics without a "bag", or shower-browsing online!
The lack of USB3, Isocell sensor and speaker moved to the back are all a step back, but with all these other improvements, I'm sure you wouldn't even notice it much.
Your right, the screen is being given no love, and your right, it is super important. This should be the best smartphone screen ever. Paired with the latest processor, and great S pen features, I'm in. I just hope that there is no lag like everyone said about the G3
Thanks for putting this up. I think you should add that while the Note 4 rolled back to USB2, it was upgraded from MHL 2 to 3. Too many tech sites that do comparisons forget to mention this.
The Note 3 is USB3 MHL2.
The Note 4 is USB2 MHL3.

added to new features portion. Thanks!
My utter frustration is moving the speaker to the back.
No word yet if the sound is better on the N4 then on the N3.
My only complain is move speaker to back.
No waterproof is better if Samsung can't make slim bezel for waterproof phone, see how thick and ugly the bezel in S5.
Thanks Samsung not implement waterproof in Note 4.
I had use few waterproof Sony phone like Z and Z Ultra, waterproof is real gimmick as it won't last long and troublesome on those flip cover on nearly every single port. Please don't add in until you can give slim bezel design on it. Waterproof is real unnecessary.

I also feel waterproofing is a gimmick and while this doesn't reflect every phone. A few people I know who have the Z1/2 and S4 active/S5 have issues with the water proofing whenever water touches their phones from freezing, to switching off, to black screens, to unresponsive buttons.

The note 4 when back to using a usb2.0? What the funk ? I really loved the extra fast charging of the note 3. I'm not sure what the MHL is and how it affects charging speeds but they advertised fast charging on the note 4, so we'll see.
I had Note 2 but bought S4 and then Note 3 came out and its seems no diffrent from S4 cus of the 1080p screen , so i waited for 2K and now Note 4 has it so its a 100% buy from me !
I always found that the N3 screen looked fuzzy I couldn't live with it.
The fact the screen is Qhd is reason enough for me give the N4 a chance.

Backward compatible with MHL 1 and MHL 2
Latest HDCP 2.2 content protection
Enhanced 7.1 surround sound with Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD
Connector agnostic – uses as few as five pins
Support for simultaneous multiple displays
The MHL Experience
Home Theater – 4K Movie-Theater Picture Quality
Watch all of your favorite content in 4K movie-theater picture quality from your smartphone to your TV or home theater system. Stop, rewind, pause and play all of your content using the TV's remote control.
Mobile Games – Zero Lag

that's too bad...what about taking pics under-water? The Note 4 has that virtual button on it's side for taking pics. If it were waterproof, I doubt the button would work, because it's most likely capacitive. But does the touchscreen work well enough to hit the camera capture button? Or you can probably use the volume button to capture a picture, so would that work? Or does it freeze up completely?

Well 4k support is a big deal now that people are starting to buy 4K TV's to output to and content providors like netflix support streaming 4k (but probably not yet on mobile, that I don't know)

Newer Z1, Z2 or Z3 yes for taken under water as got shutter button. Previous model can only via time record.
Also remember due to the S Pen, really hard to do waterproof, if do then it will be troublesome in taken out the S Pen.

Lack of IP67 is my biggest issue with the Note 4. I also thought that it's because of the S Pen, but after reading Samsung response on the issue, I'm not sure anymore. Here's what they said when asked by Android Authority:
Unlike the Galaxy S5, the Note 4 isn’t waterproof – when we asked Samsung’s reps why, they said the Note 4 is for people interested in being productive and creative on the go, while the Galaxy S5 is a more generalist device

Same. I could buy their reasoning for the larger bezels on the S5 due to waterproofing, but why would the Note 4 be larger now if it doesn't even include that?
Missing water proof feature too! Maybe there will come some 3rd party cases for N4 that makes it water proof for short times. The difference in S5 is the existence of a cover for the Micro USB port and a little "strip" in the back cover.
Water proof features are what other manufacturers came up with to try to offer something..ANYTHING... to attempt to steal some of Samsung customers because they couldn't do it on the tech side of things. Forget waterproofing, as it a point of sale gimmick which fails because it needs stupid little blanking plugs ETC.
So far the biggest thing I see on the Note4 that might make my life loads easier is the fast charge which is a really handy feature.

How do you waterproof a phone with an S pen? I can understand the disappointment some feel but it wasn't a feature I was seeking on a Note device.

This is a two part question.
Firstly does anyone know if there is a way to calibrate the s-pen. Mine seems ever so slightly off when writing as I would with a normal pen (on a slight angle).
I also have the bamboo feel but that is even worse (around 2-3 mm off).
Next question is are there any other s-pen out that like the bamboo feel? I like the bigger size of it as it's more comfortable for writing with but accuracy seems to be the issue with some third part pens. I'm surprised there issue nothing from Samsung already for the note 5. I understand there are the pen holder or the bt pen but those are for older devices so I'm not sure how accurate they are or compatible.

Can you make sure that there is no cover when trying, as magnetic covers or even flip covers cause the S-pen to be inaccurate.
in older models, magnet closure cases made a huge difference.
Hello; I am not sure if anyone had such problem about note5 spen. . I can't use with spen whole screen..i mean at the middle of one side is not seen by spen although I can write that side with my finger..how can i solve this problem? Thank you anybody who responses!!

Try typing in *#0*# in your dialer. This will bring up the integrated hardware test. There should be one for S-Pen (not touch) and try it on that screen. If it does not pass the test, then you are probably looking at a hardware failure/malfunction.
Broke my S pen when my phone fell. Any good sites to get a replacement?
Try spen with eraser.

Good information to know just in case .... one never knows when 'Ol Murphy will decide to put his most famous law into action. ... " Anything that can go wrong usually will."
I know this is an old post, but I am trying to find a gold s-pen. Samsung doesn't sell them on their site. To get mine warranties will take over a month. I have seen them on Amazon but really no where else. Wondering if anyone has tried them and any issues. Where do you recommend?

For what it is worth...
I have both a NOTE 3 and a NOTE 5
The 5 I only bought recently and the Stylus hole was blocked and there was some weird other stylus somehow wedged into it.
The previous owner knew he was selling me a duffer but there we go.
Anyway, I managed to get it out and I bought a new stylus for it, but the bloody thing was not quite right... It was something like about 1.5mm off down and right. I am very very good with sizes and so trust me, its more than 1mm but not quite 2mm but thats by the sideways... I just assumed that the bloody thing needs calibrating to this stylus.
Anyway, it was some time later that I thought... Why not try the note 3 and 5 styluses on each other... They both work just fine, but guess what? It was not the screen that needed calibrating at all? - the stylus is to blame.
The Note 5 stylus is wonky just the same on the Note 3 and the Note 3 Stylus is perfect on the Note 5
If only I could swap them over?
But there you go... Maybe its a new stylus or a replacement stylus you should be looking for and not a calibration of the screen?
yeah mines a few mm's off as well. its very annoying.
There is also a waycom test in the integrated hardware test menu (this would be good for seeing how your s-pen registers on the screen)
Also you may want to try another N5 s-pen (if you know someone that has one see how it does, the one you have may have a defect)
You can take off the cover on the button of the spen and there's a tuning adjuster under it. Factory is set to be off a little.

I tried Note 4 stylus on Note 5 and it felt like a Note 7 stylus on Note 7. Note 5 stylus is useless. in comparison.
So stupid that companies still make Note cases with friggin battery clips on them. But then again there seems to be a fair amount of people who buy these Note devices but rarely use the S-Pen which is bizarre to me.
I've just switched to a Galaxy Note 8 from a Note 5 and, to my displeasure, I find that the 8's S Pen has somewhat lower sensitivity, i.e. I need to press it harder to make a click on the UI or draw a line.
I compared three S Pens, one from the Note 8 and two from the Note 5 (one original and one replacement). I did some tests on both of the phones with all the three pens, and I've tried the 8's pen tips with the 5's pens (they're compatible this way, but not the other way around).
That convinced me that the 8's S Pen is less sensitive. For example, please find attached a test when I tried to fill a line with strokes in an image editor with minimal pressure (you know, like a pencil stroke), and you can see that the 5's pen let me do that easier and smoother.
As the tests went the same on both phones, it's definitely the pens that are different.
I'd say the difference is considerable, as with my habits from the Note 5 S Pen I often fail to click a UI element with the 8's pen (it does not react on that little pressure which was enough with the 5's pen).
Have you experienced the same, or is it just my unit? If you have a Note 5's S Pen near at hand, I'd appreciate if you tried it.
Does it make sense to try and find a replacement S Pen for Note 8 or do I just have to deal with it?
I have a note, a note 3, a note 4, a note 7 and now a note 8, The s pen of the note 8 is by far, superior in every aspect to its predecessors
I don't think so. When compare to my old Note 4 N910C. I think the sensitivity of the S-Pen on both devices are similar
I have been using a tab3 pen and a statler pencil, work awesome. Both are available on Amazon. I just dont like how small the spen has become and for extended use the small size cramps my hands. That said , the note 8 spen seem to be as sensitive as the other 2, I usually dont press to hard , I am using a film type screen protector and dont want to leave marks on it. Only have had trouble with some crap nibs off of Amazon that I bought for the tab3 (I keep breaking them somehow).

I had this issue too. Try infinite painter, it works like normal in it.
Hello friends:
Hope to find a solution to this problem...
So... a friend asked me to check her phone (Galaxy Note 9) because the S pen wasn't working properly. It was possible to use the commands when pressing the S pen button, but whenever I tried to use the S pen to navigate through the screen it was completely useless, the screen doesn't responded to the S pen.
I have a Galaxy Note 8 and I tried the Galaxy Note 9's S pen on it and worked as charm.
I did try these solutions:
1.- Soft Reset
2.- Reboot in Safe Mode
3.- Reset S Pen
None of them worked
HELP!!! I really wanted to impress my friend she's georgeus AF!!
Try the instructions here https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01001835/#change-the-s-pen-color
As a side note, don't rely on fixing her s-pen to impress her, this could just lead to you becoming tech support for her.
Just be you and you'll be fine.
Of course, if being tech support for people is your thing, then go get your girl!
Does Note9 have a screen protector on? Some cheap quality screen protectors/films cause this issue. Also, check if she already has a S pen in the note! (she might be testing your tech skills) default Note setting will not allow you to use second pen if one is already in the Note
I already tried to reset the S pen, it didn´t work

Hey go to display settings and enable touch sensitivity. Just try doing so :fingers-crossed:
if note 9 is in a protective case, remove it. magnet case cause problems with s pen functionality.
Go to a test mode and try again. If not working then there is a problem with digitizer and possibly service required. Try hard reset before sending for repair

Exactly,
The magnet is the problem, also wit a cutter you can remove the magnet from the case
