The screen is drop-dead gorgeous (5.7" SAMOLED 2K display), the battery life is pretty dead on with what I was loving with the iPhone 6 Plus, and the camera is noticeably better than any phone I've ever had. It's super-fast (no surprise there) and the Note features are really nice. I like having a stylus on something that big, and the popup/split windows are great, even if only some apps support it. I'm glad they did away with the USB 3 port, and the metal edges are a really nice upgrade over the plastic of the Note 3.
It wasn't too long ago that I thought "phablets" were dumb. I was comfortable with a 4.7" screen (still probably the largest single-hand phone screen I'm comfortable with) and a tablet, and I saw clear differences in their uses. The Note 3 started to change that for me, but it still felt incomplete on some levels. The iPhone 6 Plus really solidified the place for a phablet for me, enough so that I even did away with my small tablet. But with that much screen, a grid of icons always feels a waste (something I've thought from day-one with the iPad). Android just makes better use of larger screens, and phablets have hit a point of maturity in Android that just wasn't really there even 6 months ago. Samsung really nailed it with the Note 4 (even if there's still a lot of touchwiz crap I could do without), and I'm very happy with it.
On a side note, I also got a Gear 2 Neo when I traded phones. I set it up and used it for all of about 15 minutes before I went back to my Pebble. Having already had a Gear 2 before, I quickly remembered why I prefer the Pebble or Android Wear devices. It's just a bit clumsy to navigate, and I need media controls and notifications to take center stage. Samsung has their watches geared (no pun intended) around different ideals. It's just a preference thing. I'll probably put that watch up on Craigslist in the next day or so and I'll definitely be getting a Moto 360 watch this week, as I really love the interface of Android Wear, the watch is gorgeous, and I was going to get a fitness tracker anyway. :)
