I'm going to replace my Note 4 with ?

I need to replace my Samsung Note 4. I like the features of this phone, it has a great camera and storage can be added with a micro sd card. Is there a comparable phone that you would recommend? Thanks in advance. dreamer.

  • I still have 3 Samsung Note 4 on different networks. The main reason I resist upgrading is that it has built-in IR, so can control all my wireless devices, including legacy models. Came in handy at work when I forget to bring the remote for our new ceiling mounted Panasonic laser projectors in our conference rooms, as the Medialon touchscreen control was still being installed. Took less than a minute to add Panasonic to my Android remote app, which gave full operation/setup control. I've been told that Samsung dropped IR in smartphones due to complaints of people changing the channels at sport bars/restaurants? Though don't know if this is true?

    I also like the fact that you can easily replace the battery, and have added internal wireless charging pads to all my Note 4. Just drop the Note 4 in a wireless charging cradle at home/work.

    The Note 4 processor/screen res. are both still fairly comparable to newer models. So personally, not motivated to upgrade mine.
  • I recently replaced my Note 4 with the Note 10+. I like it. Figure out what you want and hope there's a July 4th sale.

  • I would say stick to the Note also.If your carrier is T Mobile you might get a good deal, or if you switch to them you get a good deal. I have a Note 9 for a year and a half, and their already offering me $500 dollar off on a new phone.
  • If you’ve had good results with the Note 4, suggest you buy the newest version of the same phone.
  • If you want another phone with the stylus the other alternatives are
    Samsung note 8 9 or 10 or 10+
    LG stylo 3 , 4, or 5
    Motorola motoG stylus.
    And I think Huwaei or another chinese maker has some too.
