Awesome phone. Using for 4 years, worked perfect, until I had issue with the charging connector, but you can expect that to wear out after so many charge plug in/outs, tried to replace whole module and due to inexperience damaged the screen.
Battery lasted for the day, not great, but this is what you get using android. Had to replace it after 2 years of usage.
Screen is great, response good. Due to increase in app resource demand you might notice it getting bit slower within time, but I consider it acceptable considering i being 4 years old.
Haven't had any big issues. Had screen frozen few times, but overall nothing major, that couldn't be fixed in minutes. Would buy another predecessor with same build quality.

Grand prime pro 2018, 02 Jan 2019Am aslo planning to buy one best phone great feature Yes, it is replaceable battery, the last note series to replace battery, nte 4 n910t it is for t mobile, but unlocked, you will have no problem to use with any network worldwide, but if you buy note 4 n910f global version is better, maybe £20 more expensive.but buy from a seller which has one year guarantee for the mobile, do not buy with three months guarantee, good luck.

For about 4 years my note4 worked perfectly. Then serious problems started like fast battery drain, staying in start-up loop, uncontrolable on/off behaviour. I tried to solve it with a new battery, factory reset and other internet advices, unfortunately without success. A local mobile phone repair service told me that they had several customers with exactly the same problem. They said that the motherboard was probably damaged and that it would cost more to repair it than to by a new device. Sad situation, because I like the device a lot and would prefer to continue to use it, if possible.

Jaycee, 28 Dec 2018Hi, I'm considering on rooting my Note 4 to get the newest ... moreHello. I'll answer your major questions as best I can.
1) Yes, you are correct about TouchWiz, at least regarding the major ROMs currently available. I was never a big pen user anyway, and I personally never liked TouchWiz, so no big loss for me, but you need to know this going in. Since all android phones are capacitive anyway, your touch pen will still work. I just used my S-pen with my phone, and thus far no problems - but again, I wouldn't say that the pen is "officially" supported (that is, developed specifically with that pen in mind).
2) I am not running the latest version of Android. I prefer to run the STABLEST late version - and right now, Android Pie ain't it. Lineage OS and Resurrection Remix (which is actually based on Lineage OS) are both focused on Android 8.1, and of the two RR is the more stable. So nah, not gonna jump to Pie until one of these two reputable ROMs supports it, and I would suggest you do the same.
3) I touched on this in the first point, but my S-pen does still seem to work. You just aren't going to get the functionality that is specific to TouchWiz. But the gains in performance and the fact that my phone now truly works like an Android phone and is no longer an overbloated Samsung product (that btw is no longer officially updated or supported by the manufacturer) is totally worth it.
Yes, I am loving my Note 4 with Resurrection Remix; it's smooth like butter. The Note 4 is still a fine piece of phone engineering, with excellent internals and build quality and I'd put it up against many new phones now. I highly recommend trying out RR if you feel comfortable doing that (backup your phone first of course, read carefully, etc.).
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Does this takes out TouchWiz interface? Is your note 9 running pure Android? If yes, the S-Pen works fine or have the entire phone lost functions?

FYI, this phone can be upgraded far beyond Android 6. Just dug an old Note 4 (N910W8 variant) I had stored away. Rooted it and flashed with the latest Resurrection Remix ROM, and installed the Viper4Android sound kit. Runs AMAZINGLY on Android 8.1. Further proof that the phone manufacturers are lying to us all about obsolescence (and why they further handicapped phones by eliminating removable battery and the 3.5 mm headphone jack).
