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

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.

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

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!

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.
