After owning this phone for Six months now I feel that I know it rather well. I have always stayed away from Samsung phones because I felt they were tacky but the Note 4 is great! However the camera is a double edged sword. If you are after a pull out the phone and grab a shot then yes its great, it offers great all round performance although the low light does suffer a little. I just wish that it offered a little more manual shooting. you can set ISO but that's really it.. However I don't know any smart phone that has a fully manual camera. At the end of the day it works and I'm not sure about you but I don't carry my DSLR around 24/7 with me.

I owned the Note 4 and also found it fantastic. However, the Note 5 is even better AND has a full manual mode, which means you can finally adjust shutter speed for stills and video. The latter is a fantastic way of extracting 8mp stills from 4k video when the subject is moving.
To top it off it was also quite a bit cheaper than my Note 4.
