[Galaxy Note 4 General] NLS:
100% the feature I miss is water resistance.

1) Major competition does it. (Z series, HTC etc., even iPhone 6 is expected to have IP rating).

2) Samsung already does it for premium series (S5). They know how to do it.

3) It is somehow starting to be an "expected" feature (esp. for high-end).

4) Doesn't mean you want to swim with it, but why not? I used my Tablet Z for underwater photos. Why not? One more "consolidation" that will happen anyway eventually (smartphones already consolidated/replaced MANY other devices).

5) There are ACCIDENTS (glass spills etc.). The wealth of methods to try and dry your phone out there in the Internet, is an indication that it worries people and sh*t DOES happen (more than you believe, people that are lucky).

6) Rain. Why not out in the rain? Why not used directly on a RAM mount on my bike/motorcycle?

7) What "does it" for me more, is that they know they could have done it, but they wanted a bit less internal competition (to S5). I don't like when "handling" the consumer is so obvious.

Now for other things...

- They could have stereo speakers (even badly placed), but not major for me, as if I want hi-fi audio, I would connect wired or wireless speakers.

- USB3 I don't even care. I would see the speed difference only if I want to move blue-ray movies or something.

I rarely connect to sync (I sync over the air). USB3 for me is just a brag feature.

- I don't care for 4GB RAM (3GB are plenty already) and I understand high-end 8XX x64 CPU are not ready (only mid-range 6XX series).

- I don't care much about the octa-core (as it is). There must be a reason they will use it in limited production (Korea only?). Probably they are still debugging the thing.

- I don't even mind the plastic rear cover... Because it is removable. So nobody stops custom covers that look/feel better. There is already a Swarovski cover announced.

- Camera is ok. Sony Xperia 20MP doesn't have OIS. Would like 20MP but 16MP is fine. Already better than my digital camera. :P I prefer good lenses and good size CCD. More important then MP (but not to the point that 4MP are enough stupid HTC).

But all the above said, actually Note 4 is the most complete device out there, whether you realize it or not. So I cannot go as far as say "disappointed". It has almost everything everybody else has. Each one of the competition and all of them together. So, missing a couple of things, is forgivable.

If someone has Note 3, he can skip 4. But that is pretty normal. Same with Sony Xperia Z3 and Z2. You don't have to follow EVERY generation.

That said, N4 is WAY MORE of the upgrade N3 owners say (...so they keep their device and feel ok about it - natural consumer reaction). Hardware differences are significant in every level.

Since I mentioned Z3, if it was closer in specs with Note 4, I would definitely move there. Z4 maybe (in March?). Or whoever comes first with x64.

I still have Note 1 and thinking if I should move to N4 or wait for the next Xperia or Note with x64 (NOT because "I need x64", but because I keep my devices for a couple of years and I would be like "yesterday" from day 1 if I move to a new 32 bit device).

If N4 was water resistant I wouldn't hold back at all even with the above mentioned. Would be in line for pre-order.
