my mum had one since it came out for 3 years on a contract plan thing, 10 years later and its battery is so stuffed it boot loops when it gets to 10% which is ridiculously quick. but its perfect other than that
It is a genuine phone . I have this phone still for the last 8 years. I just use it.
This Phone is extremely unreliable. As someone who refurbishes broken phones as a hobby, The note 4 is one of the most reliable Samsung phones i have ever repaired. Out of 10 Note 4’s, 8 have infamous eMMC Issues. If you are still using this dinosaur, general symptoms include:
Constant app crashes {ie. Google Maps is not responding}
Random Slowdowns in the basic Android UI with no tasks
Freezing, Especially When Pressing on the Top of the Phone
This will progressively get worse and eventually result into the device no longer booting, rather it doesn’t turn on or it shows “eMMC Write Fail” and will boot no further.
The Camera Is Kinda Cool for 2014 though
Mine has screen burn, but 10 years later its still thriving on. The s5 is the little brother to this phone, mine also surviving 10 years. Samsungs old phones were the best
The storage is the problem for this phone, like it has only 32GB then the software should’ve been on Android 7.0
Also, the Note 4 is the first known smartphone to break 40000 points in AnTuTu benchmark.
Impressive performance for 2014.
PROTIP: Set exposure value +1 to boost the photo and video quality.
The Note 4 unfortunately has a tendency to underexpose photos and videos.
Tapping while recording video thankfully only changes focus, not exposure. On the newer smartphones, the video becoming dark or bright when tapping is highly annoying.
The Note 4 was the ideal camcorder phone at its time. Optically stabilized 4K 2160p and stereo audio, Micro SD support for instant storage expansion. That was a dream in 2014.
I dare to say, the Note 4 was the first smartphone in existence that could replace a camcorder (except if optical zoom is necessary).
Azu10157, 11 Mar 2024That and I was familiar with the softwareFor me it was the 3.5mm jack, Samsung removing it from their higher-end phones meant I had to go to another brand to get it. Well, that's the beauty of Android
AnonD-1147675, 11 Mar 2024I'm curious as to why you went with the S23, is it the software support?That and I was familiar with the software
Azu10157, 11 Mar 2024S23 and S24 are virtually the same. I actually did consider the Asus but ultimately went with S23I'm curious as to why you went with the S23, is it the software support?

AnonD-1147675, 11 Mar 2024was there a problem with S23...?I wanted to keep the phone for a few years but I thought 128GB wouldn't be enough, but considering I never maxed out on space on lower capacity phones I guess I was wrong
Honestly I wish I had thought more about that but considering the pre order for the S24+ was happening at the time I was just impulsive (or compulsive? i forget the word)
Azu10157, 11 Mar 2024Snapdragon yes. I traded in an S23 I got a month prior to the S24+, I miss the small screen lolwas there a problem with S23...?
