I have to return one of them by tomorrow .. i have both a droid turbo and a note 4 before me... on one hand i like not having a push home button on turbo and overall fit in hand etc.. but i can draw pics with an spen and make little lists and keep them on my front page etc... both are good for gaming and movies (bigger screen does look better overall) but trying to text in landscape on a note 4 is a stretch (literally) vs the turbo.. ive been playing with both for about a week now and im stuck dead even... pocket carry goes to turbo but games and media look nicer on the bigger screen.. ughhh im tempted to just give my wife the note 4 and wait for her 2yr to be up in april and maybe get a galaxy s6

Coming from a Galaxy S3, I appreciated some of the Touchwiz-specific apps. But now that I'm on the Turbo, I'm even happier since I don't need to deal with TW at all. The cleaner, faster, "more-stock" interface of the Turbo is so much nicer. That was yet another reason I went away from Sammy this time around (was considering the S5... Note was too big for my tastes).

In my mind bigger is better right up until I find the bulk outweighs the benefits of more screen. I have found where too big is for me and backed off to my ideal size with the Maxx. If I could make friends with a larger device I would definitely go that way and to be honest I find touchwiz is not so horrible as some make it out to be. Certainly in general its too heavy but I think on the Note the value adds make it much more useful than it is on smaller devices where IMO its best kicked to the curb.

The Note 4 is nice if you have need for a super large screen, stylus, and their gimmicky apps (which I guess at that point they aren't gimmicky to you).

Otherwise, no compelling reason. My Turbo is faster than the wife's Note 4 and gets better battery life.
