Hello everyone
Long story short, I decided to upgrade and went with an M9 (or three), and each one had a different problem. All of them suffered from light leaks, the last one stuck pixel too. The camera is poor, so I am weighing my options. Coming from a G3, my obvious choice would be a G4 but...BUT !
I have managed to find the Exynos variant of the Note 4 for about 378 pounds, brand new and sealed. My question is (for current users) - would you consider it future proof? Is it still snappy, good, and a good investement for another year or so? Would you recommend it over the G4?
Many thanks
Well, I was in the same boat as you: Wanted to upgrade from my G3 because I had the 2GB variant, it was a lagfest with launcher redraws and apps closing all the time. AOSP had good performance but also had bugs and the camera sucked.
So I found the Exynos Note 4 for a good prince in my area and decided to take the plunge even though I never owned a samsung phone before, and bought it based on the interest I had on the Note II back then and some superficial reviews I've had read about it.
I have absolutely no regrets whatsoever, the Note 4 definitely feels like an upgrade from the G3. It's faster, the screen has better colors and contrast, better visibility in the sun, and touchwiz came a long way from the old days where it was regarded as one of the worst manufacturer skins to android. The note 4 has many features that amazed me, including the best one-hand mode implementation so far.
I say go with it, you won't be disappointed.

If you have a choice NEVER go for exynos ESPECIALLY if you want to root/flash roms later on. If you are fine with stock rom then it doesn't matter which you go for. Just know that stock is a little laggy no matter which variant you go for.
I hated the lag and finally installed CM and am not looking back, you can get SPEN functionality on AOSP roms now too so not really an issue. CM FLIES on note 4, so fast!!!!

Maybe I should've worded my post differently. The snapdragon isn't available in my area, so there was no option of choosing variants. Exynos has no aosp, but SimplRom is pretty fast and yet has all the built in spen functionality.

Welcome to the family my brothers
I have the Exynos version & it's great
I recently got a Note 4 N910C, which is the Exynos model for the EU and I can honestly say that I love it.
I seek a kind advice, I currently have a 2GB G3 and i am looking to upgrade (as i wont have an opportunity to do that in future) Been deciding between an iphone 6plus and note 4, or basically any other big phone. So should i go for a note 4 or a different device? My main concern is if the note will be a solid choise for about 2 years or so.

Get the exynos, the CPU will be cooler therefore you will have no underclock due to high temps like 4 core snapdragon. Also a dev here (sorry i dont remember his name) is working on CM for our phone with exynos chip. But i really don't feel like i need to change the stock samsung rom so bad, some guys here are drowning on a teaspoon of water. Note 4 is one of the best phones atm, go for it.

an so what ?
it is burning !!
snapdargon 810 i crap !
First if you understand all the Hardware and specs and are taking the time to answer thank you.
The Note 5 is coming with the same chip as the GS6 did. So isn't the Note just basically a GS6 XL with spen? Or is there other differences that are supposedly made to make Note 5 a even better device. I read where the Note 5 set new records on the benchmark, and I know benchmarks don't mean much, but same chip, same version of Android, how is it supposedly most powerful phone out?
Thank you for your time. This stuff is beyond me

Maybe they write optimized code and run it only on note 5 so it will seem faster.. Apple seems to be doing this for years and releasing new phones with 'S' [emoji13]

The s-devices from Apple always have faster hardware running the same software. To the OP: the note 5 isn't going to be the top performer.
They already announced it had the highest benchmark by a big amount

The note 5? Should be the same as the s6 as it's running the same soc and same nand.
Note series was always around the SPen , it's the only one in market that have a powerful real function-able input tool like the SPen.
My guess is Samsung will target the Note series lovers with the Premium materials - leather feel before now glass - and using the new successful SOC and Camera sensors used in S6 and S6 Egde . The Exynos this year was the best and S6 & S6 Edge was the fastest ever due to the new Exynos , Imagine boosting this processor to higher frequency with extra 1GB of RAM
Due to the design , we all say that it's just a big S6 with SPen so Samsung for sure and as always will add a new way to use the SPen and Note Features.
As a user for Note 2 , Note 3 and Note 4 for sure i will miss the Memory card option. Smallest internal memory size shall be 64GB since there is no option for SD Cards. although i am not that interested in the Note 5.
Although the amazing hardware Samsung uses in their Flagships , the device will always feel slow !! and this drive me crazy,
3GB or 4GB of RAM and the free are only lessa than 700MB !!! so the device sometimes feels lagy and this isn't acceptable , comparing to LG , LG does a great job optimizing it's software so the device always feels great in daily usage.
I had S6 Edge. Loved it. That thing was snappy as hell. For some reason it lagged bad on Internet. No idea if that was a RAM issue or something else. I loved the phone but having grown accustomed to bigger screens, and having eyesore that has progressively worsened, I felt like I was always straining to read anything. So I bought LG G4 and I know the Sammy guys in here will call me stupid, but it is overall the BEST phone I've ever had. It's not as snappy as the Edge was in transitions, but it's not leggy either. On the Internet it is always responsive & fast. It's big enough, the display is beautiful. The leather backs are cool. I love it. I wish lg would bring a Note type device to Verizon, but they won't.
I'm going back to Note 5. But to me Note has always one upped the Galaxy of the same year. The Note 3 upped the gs4, the Note 4 destroyed the gs5...now they just are making a bigger Galaxy not a better one. I was expecting the 7422. Unless they announce something tomorrow that differs from gs6 besides cosmetic, I'm going to look at the Moto X, maybe stick with G4. I hate Apple and this screams Apple. The Note series has never been the IPhone S series.
I'm sure some guys are going to tell me I'm stupid and why, thank you in advance for that, but that's the way it all looks to me.

Not much difference. The major ones are pen, more ram and bigger battery.
That's not a bug. That's the normal behavior of TW since 5.1.1 (ar least for S6 and S6 Edge).
The last version of TW is eating a lot of RAM and to prevent lags and freezes (that were occuring on S6 with 5.0), Samsung has decided to systematically kills apps in background to free RAM.

The s6 has had that since 5.0. Atleast mine did
And yes sites are stating Samsung is purposely killing apps to keep the phone speedy.
What's the point of 4gbs tho if you still can multitask because everything has to reload

on my windows laptop with 4GB of ram i can open 5 - 8 REAL apps not mobile apps and chrome with +15 tabs without hiccup , heck even my 3 years old Note 2 with 2GB ram and 4.4.2 can keep like 10 apps open at least

My wife's international Galaxy S6 still has the issue and that was released in what, April?.
Eventually is a relative term and who knows if they'll actually fix it.
Edit: Maybe eventually isn't relative as much as it is a completely open ended time frame. Bugs don't always get worked out as quickly as we hope.

Touchwiz. Other lollipop based devices are not aggressively killing apps. Nexus 6 you can routinely have a good dozen or more apps in the background and they won't refresh.
Likewise even Moto X has around 8-9 and has half the ram of the Note 5 and 50% less than the S6
HTC M9 - similar story to the Nexus 6 regarding backgrounded apps
Sony Z3 - same story again.
M9 is running a heavily skinned OS and Z3 has a less heavily but still skinned take too. Yet none of these devices have ram management issues and all of them are performing better in multitasking and are running Lollipop
This is Touchwiz. What's more unfathomable is why with the Note 5 it can't run any more apps in the background than the S6/S6E despite that extra 1Gb of ram. Again it's another case of Samsungs excellent hardware and muscle power being heavily compromised by a skin that whilst given a lick of paint - is under the hood still a terrible bloated by legacy code, utter resource hog.
The disappointment is simple, imagine how fast these devices would be running a different manufacturers skin or stock. It's a shame Samsung have made no attempts here to fix this, and as they HAVE NOT ACKNOWLEDGED the Ram issue officially in any shape or form - to presume they are going to ever fix it is just wishful thinking unfortunately.
It's obvious at this time that they have modified the default behaviour. It's not like the RAM is fully utilized, there is free RAM but the background processes are removed memory. Only thing I can think about - battery. And right now I can think that this is completely intentional from Samsung. The default android behaviour is to keep them in memory, so they should have changed it. Don't think there will be a 'fix' as such from Samsung.
Did some searching and apparently there is a partial fix for S6 at least using build.prop editing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6/general/s6-ram-management-discussion-t3128229
There are other threads saying that similar changes in a Note 4 running 5.0 also work. So, as long as the device can be rooted, there does seem to be some relief. Is that right or am I missing something.
Still not sure that I want to get a Note 5. Would appreciate any comments.
I own the S6 Edge and the two things I absolutely hate about it are the battery life and the terrible memory management. So I figured I would get the Note 5 because it has a little bigger battery, so should be some what better in that regard and I thought surely, as long as the S6 has been out, and the Note 5 comes with 4gb of ram, surely they got the memory management issue figured out?? Seriously Samsung?? I don't want to get into the IOSvsAndroid debate cause I love Android and Google but I also own an iPhone 6 Plus that has a whopping 1gb of ram and I can have several apps open in the background, switch back and forth between them and not have to reload any of them. I know nobody really cares what I do or my opinion but I honestly think I'm done with Samsung for awhile and that sucks because they make amazing hardware.

This is precisely why, on my Note 4, I've remained on KitKat.
What is the use of heavy multi-tasking if, every time you go back to a previously opened app, it reboots? How do you copy from email for example, to a document that you're preparing to scan and send, and refer to information on the web at the same time?
May as well buy any other phone out there, what's the difference? What's the point of the Note Series?
It bugs me no end.

That's why I try to use multiple Windows's at once on my s6. That's the only way to be productive with this bug. Not only that but browsing on chrome is worth than on my iPhone that has 1gb of ram.
I love the Galaxy phones, but I'm not sure if it's worth the upgrade right now.
I remember reading something about the Edge Plus having a fix for the ram, off of sammobile awhile back
Insane
Currently on the OnePlus... Really debating whether I should go for the Note 5. Seriously changing my mind now.
Is it simply a matter of the app reloading when you open it? Or is there a specific limit of how many apps can be in the background before the issue presents itself?

It's clearly intentional - and Samsung NEVER acknowledged the ram issue on the S6 / S6 Edge. I know I was one of the original authors of the threads that sparked the reports. Samsung posted a generic Facebook response to the issue but it was so generic it was a cut and paste answer for anyone having an issue with software. This was picked up by same media who reported on our threads as 'an official acknowledgment' however it was not anything of the such.
Samsung has not mentioned anything about the ram issue officially - and the fact it persists in the Note 5 / S6 Edge Plus despite an additional 1gb - means it's unlikely it will ever be fixed.

The issue I've had with the S6 Edge is reloading the app when you open it. It's gotten a tiny bit better with an update but still no where near acceptable for an $800 flagship that has 3gb of ram in the S6 and 4gb for the Note 5 & S6 Edge+

I didn't bother watching the video, all I'm going to say is wait until you have the phone in hand and get to try it yourself before passing judgement. If you don't like the performance you have 2 weeks to return for a refund. I'm one of the individuals that wanted the 5X to have 3GB RAM, but less because its actually needed at this point and more for future proofing. The N5 is still a smooth running excellent phone at 2 years old, I'm not sure the same will be said of the 5X in 2017, but I'm still looking forward to having a nexus again.
I thought the nexus 6 compared well to the note 5. Hard to believe that was stock marshmallow and not the dev preview. The lag and black screens that happen before launching apps don't happen on my Nex5 while on 6.0. My Nex5 I think was almost as fast as the note 5.

Ram has nothing to do with what you saw in this video.
The note 5 has the best processor of 2015... (1.9ghz 14nm chip). This is why its so much faster than the nexus 6 which uses a much older 28nm chip.
So should I be scared of an SD808 vs the big brother SD810??

SD810 allows for EIS, the smart burst feature, and slo-mo @ 240fps on the 6P. If you don't care about that stuff then SD808 is fine
I consider it to be the fact the Nexus 6 is probably stock so the device has encryption enabled. So it isn't really a fair comparison. I would like to see the Note 5 encryption enabled then done again.

That note 5 has the fastest soc out there and the fastest ufs storage of any android phone, so it'll have no trouble launching apps quickly, the amount of ram has nothing to do with this.
Why are you even trying to compare this to the 5x? The 5x has a slower cpu, slower storage, slower ddr3 ram... of course it'll be slower, doesn't matter if it has the latest os either. You want the fastest phone out there? Its called the s6/note5.

Just flashed 6.0 on my n5 and its gone... finally.

Not necessarily. There's videos clearly showing the Note 5 needing to reload apps after 6-7 while a phone like the LG G4 doesn't.

Its still a bug, some people on the nexus 5 didn't experience it, some did, nothing could explain that. The note 5 clearly has it, my friends asus zenfone 2 and nexus 7 doesn't have it, go figure.

It's not a bug for the Note 5. All a person needs to do for the Note 5 is change some things a viola never happens again. It requires root and Samsung just has their memory management too aggressive.

Well this was definitely surprising.
Enjoy the results.. Something to show to anyone that doubts the 808.

1 Second slower than the Note 5 on lap 2.
Samsung with its 'top of the line' processor should be way faster for the price difference.
Therefore the LG G4 is the true winner.

Also the extremely poor Ram management on the Note 5 and S6. Google it, it's a known issue.

The Note 5 finished before the LG G4. That's the objective result. You stating the LG G4 is the true winner is subjective.
Oneplus set an aggressive throttle because of the rumors, change that throttle file and you will see op2 winning g4. Proved by me. In the latest update they change it a little bit so it won't throttle that fast. Should win g4 easily with that

6 months later its improved. There is more free ram available.
You still will get apps being closed but not as bad as at launch.
There will always be a benchmark which fits your needs.
Samsung has excellent cpus, the exynos ones are smoking the snapdragons for breakfast.
Too bad the note 5 is manufactured by Samsung and has no sdcard slot and removeable battery.
Also amoled is something I will never buy again. Looks amazing at full brightness but white turns yellow if lower.
As seen on my S4. After 18 months even on max brightness white is shown as yellow. Looks like the wall from a smoker that smokes a lot at home.
Disgusting.
Not to mention the N4 costs at the cheapest online store more than 50% more than the G4.
Also its being shipped with 5.1.1. so according to Samsungs update politics it should get MM Q4 2016
If they do not encounter some strange critical bugs which could delay the release to provide best user experience lol.
