[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] .psd:
Got into Best Buy today and played with the display model at the Samsung area, here are my impressions:

- Model number was SM-N910X, it was running the 805

- "Samsung Store Mode" or whatever is enabled and whenever you turn off the display it starts up the advertisements (so no lockscreen test, no screen on time test, no fingerprint scanner test, etc.)

- Not even available in the options

- Closed all apps and ran antutu and geekbench 3

- Remember Samsung Store Mode is on and I don't know what it's doing

- Antutu: 41k

- Geekbench: it was like 7k single core, 16k multi core. That's pretty horrible, right? Hopefully it's just the Store Mode causing skewed results because I thought I saw a video where the US model scored super high

- Based on the fluidity of the UI, I would have expected it to score super high

- The display is outstanding, but I'm not sure why it gets such perfect scores from Display Mate

- My Nexus 5 display is calibrated using Franko Kernel, and it's by far the best looking display I've ever seen. Side by side next to the Note 4 on Basic Screen Mode with max manual brightness, I felt my Nexus 5 had both superior whites as well as color accuracy in general.

- I realize the Note wasn't at max brightness because only enabling auto brightness will achieve that, and the store wasn't bright enough for auto brightness to max out the display so I didn't use auto brightness. Supposedly it's max autobrightness level is brighter than the Nexus 5, but I just can't picture that...

- Display Mate says it's the most color accurate and brightest display they've ever tested on a phone, I highly dispute that as my year old Nexus 5 is both brighter and more color accurate

- The black levels are nice though

- In terms of clarity, it's indistinguishable from the Nexus 5 display.

- I've been drooling over the Note 4's display for 2 weeks. Hands down, my Nexus 5 display is better except for the black levels.

- But the display is still gorgeous!

- My understanding is that the contrast of AMOLED displays makes it so they don't need to be as bright as LCDs to be equally legible, and seeing as this is Samsung's best SAMOLED display ever, and it's been rated as the best display on any smartphone, I'm trusting that it should fair well but I'm reserving final judgement until after a few days of owning it

- The camera shutter is instant without any lag. This is a first for me as far as Android phones go. Even with HDR on, I could snap a picture of my hand and move it as soon as I hit the shutter, and the picture would be clear and sharp because the shutter snapped instantly instead of lagging. This is a huge deal, I'm super impressed and excited about it. I made videos about the problem of android camera shutter lag.

- it felt outstanding to hold!

- it looks incredible

- the feel of the soft touch on the back is great when it gets just slightly warm from holding/using it, very not-slippery but not downright grippy

- I'm a hardcore barebones, minimalist, stock android guy to the core, and believe me I was VERY surprised to find that Touch Wiz was not even remotely offensive to me this time around

- In fact, after watching a ton of videos, and using it in person, Touch Wiz finally seems refined enough and the hardware finally seems powerful enough and beautiful enough that the nerd in me is genuinely excited to learn it's ins and outs!

- This time it seems there are some genuinely useful features, particularly with the stylus since I post in forums a lot

- Pretty sure I can disable a ****load of stuff and have the device running even more smooth

- I'll keep my Nexus 5 for my Stock Android fix

- The speaker is super loud. Like really loud. But it doesn't sound very good at max volume, and it's probably only decent whenever it sounds the best

- Kind of tinny sounding

- The paint on the metal band on the white version looks gross

- I'm sure it looks gross on the gold and pink as well

- Didn't look bad at all on the black model, which I'm looking forward to getting

- My Nexus 5, not a small phone by any standard, felt tiny after holding the Note 4

- The size of the Note 4 didn't bother me. I've pocket tested the iPhone 6+ which is bigger, and it was no problem

- I’ve despised large displays, but I really think the Note 4 doesn’t seem as large as it once seemed. I’m just getting used to bigger phones.

- I love SAMOLED displays and this seems to be the best one ever, and with Samsungs instant shutter lag I’m not sure what the Nexus 6 will bring to the table for me since my Nexus 5 will run L fine.

- Walked away feeling so freaking stoked. I cannot WAIT to walk into the Tmo store and grab myself a black model!!
