Anonymous, 11 Jan 2019Hi is there any problem after you update the phone ?No, no lags at all. Once I got the update I just did a full factpry reset so that the old system files will be cleared. Still solid!
Sadly, I had the chance to grab a cheap Note 9 deal and I gladly passed the phone along to a relative. It's definitely a worth-while phone I had for 4 years.

Got the same update for Galaxy Note Edge N915K. It's a Kernel patch, not an Android update.

Got an update for my SM-N910C (UAE region) this week and it's around 330MB. It didn't change my Android Security patch version (still August 2017) but the Kernel and software version has changed. Might be only a few minor fixes and updates from Samsung themselves.
Did not encounter any slowdown though. So yeah, still going strong. Cheers!!

I can't help but feel it's an I phone copy. Slow the phone down and the battery last longer.

I've tested it and I got 1 hour 30 mins charging time again along with around 5 hours Screentime on heavy use, while the longest I got was 15 hours. still crazy for a phone I got 4 years ago. And its still relevant with Android Marshmallow, 16MP and 4k video. I've got nothing to ask anymore from this phone it had served me well.
I just saw the Note 9 today and its a very tempting upgrade if the price was no objection lol.

If it were stored well it might last for more than a year, you might keep up until 2020 unless something breaks or your favorite apps drop support for your android version.

It's an EB-BN910BBE battery pack and bought it for PHP 1,900 or around USD 50. The tag on the pack says July 2017 so it's still fresh I guess. Looking forward to squeeze another year or so before switching!

Anonymous, 06 Aug 2018You're so right.... :(The only thing better is an LG V20.
Faster 4G-LTE, faster processor, faster gpu, better camera, bigger battery (also removable).

I have a Note 4 running in pristine manner, with the last update before this latest update came along. I dont have battery issues, freezes or anything that bothers me. In short, my Note 4 works well.
There are a lot of people still on Note 4 for lots of good reasons, I wouldnt put it past Samsung to try it on with us and send out an update to slow down or wreck our great Note 4 to force an upgrade.
