Newer batteries perform great at the start, but they eventually hold less after about 3 dozen charge cycles. Give it a year, you're going to have roughly 80% of power hold. That % battery icon indicator on your screen is lying. You'll never going to have the same power hold.
The great thing about the Note 4 is that you can even have extended battery like Zerolemon.

Ive had a plenty of samsung phones over the years starting from s2 ending with note 4 which Ive been using till march this year. What put me off was the fact that samsung became as any other phone maker, reducing usefullness (ir blaster, removable battery, flat screen with proper proportions, physical buttons) with good looks. Its became like a coupe bodied car, nice, but not very usefull. What i liked about note 4 it was fact that it was more like slightly lifted estate car with 4x4 drive and big engine. And it wasnt ugly either, just way more usefull. Since nearly all phone makers are selling more less same things these days, with sealed batteries, metal or glass backs, on screen buttons etc Ive came to a conclusion that there is no reason to stick with samsung anymore, all things Ive valued are gone, so whats the point?

I get over 24 hours at a push with my standard usage pattern. I could barely get 12 for the same with the Note 4. The charging time is pretty much the same but it is slighly faster. Additionally it is water resistant too. That was a feature I have wanted on a phone for ages. I agree it is not important to everyone but is to me. I want to be able to use my phone in the rain and be able to trust it not to fail. The S8 Plus is faster. My Note 4 struggled with my home screen layout and widgets etc. The S8 Plus runs much better with the same things. The bootup and reboot times are considerably faster. The one thing I do agree with you is about the finger print scanner. It is not unusable but is certainly not ideal. Hopefully the Note 8 will resolve that, although I have a feeling the battery will be a problem with the Note 8 due to having to house the S-Pen. Although the original Note 7 managed a similar battery size so we just have to wait and see.

Anonymous, 03 Jun 2017Samsung is very much accused of holding back since galaxy s... moreOh, you're referring to the historical time when commenters on websites complained that Samsung "stuffed too many features in the phones, threw everything in their phones including the kitchen sink, threw a bunch of features in the wall to see what sticks, used "gimmicks", had "paper specs". When you make one person happy, you piss off 10. In the end
Generally speaking, battery life matters, not battery size. Check the GSMarena battery tests and compare them. At 500 plus ppi you've pretty much reached the point of diminishing returns. I can agree with you on the loss of IR.
It's simple, go to the teardowns and check the bill of materials on a Samsung flagship and check it on any other device. Then, see which device costs more to build. If they throw in everything you want to please you and a hundred people, then a thousand people will come to the comment section whining about the $2500 price tag. There is no winning with humans who will always find something to complain about.....unless Apple does it.

It's getting slow and laggy now, was thinking I may have to upgrade, until I ready your comment to "install a clean ROM". I'm not phone-tech savvy, wouldn't know how to do that, or even what it really means. Any site you could point me to that explains it and maybe walks me through how to do that? Thanks.

Anonymous, 02 Jun 2017You do understand that they could merely bundle it with S8+... moreYeah, yeah, they could have. I've never excited about any high-end smartphone until the Note with S Pen - except the Note.5 with no memory expansion.
I've owned the Note7 for over a month, and it had everything. The S Pen was the best that I even kept it to use with my Note 3. The only things that bothered me with the GN7 was the sealed battery, and glass back.

The S Pen is the single most important part of the Galaxy Note. I use it all the time.

Anonymous, 02 Jun 2017Obviosuly I can't speak for all Note users but I have just ... moreSamsung made them irrelevant by making them copies of the S series. That's not by accident, that's by design.
BTW S8 is a downgrade to Note 4.
Similar Screen/pixel density. Similar day photography. In fact it's only better in night photography. Slightly better performance (Exynos 5433 of Note 4 is still comparable to Exynos 8895 in anything but GPU).
*But* no pen (admitably you don't use it, but still), far lesser battery (no capacity to carry spares), far lesser longevity (once battery dies of old age... You're dead), far greater charge time (1 minute to pop in spare vs 90 minutes of quick charging). Far worse fingerprint placement, less wide screen (worse for typing) despite being a bigger device overall, ugly black bars in many apps rendering the screen even smaller than Note 7's in those apps (5.5 inch vs 5.7 inch). No IR
I wonder why people make such a move. Note 4 is possibly the best phone Samsung ever made, moving away from it ought to kill your usability. It is unbelievable how feature packed it is. No other phone is Like Note 4. Buy two new batteries, install a clean ROM and it's faster than S8 with equally excellent screen and far greater autonomy ... People these days

Always having less ram than many flagships (leading to one of the worst ram retention record in any given generation), this year around didn't even another to upgrade the CPU (exynos 8895 ~ Exynos 8890) , removed a bunch of useful stuff that people used and greatly enhanced the experience (remov battery, IR). Always uses relatively small batteries. Left behind in pixel density.
Now compare it with old Samsung (Note 3 and Note 4).
Greatest PPI of its era, most ram, fastest CPU, removable all , IR, pen becoming better each generation by strides ... Samsung used to be on a roll and was selling almost as many high end phones as Apple. Then S6 happened, Apple pulled ahead and Samsung increasingly becomes second rate like HTC and similar has beens...
