Guys,
Does anyone know where I can get this

Oddly enough, CTC don't have it, although it's listed on their website!

Oddly that doesn't look like a note 4 battery. Maybe its just the display picture?
Anyway, i was in your shoes, asked around everywhere for them,at no avail.
Finally i ordered a couple from amazon, not original Samsung, but it still works great.
So your best bet is to order from amazon or aliexpress.

Ey Guys.
So do you think i should get myself a new Note 4, or wait for Note 6?
Will the note 6 have SD card expansion and removable battery? Otherwise i will not get that either just like the note 5.
Any confirmations, news?

Unless you really want the S-Pen, don't go with the Note series. The Note 6 is not going to reintroduce the SD card and removable battery. Samsung is going the way of Apple. The Note 4 has also been left in the trash in terms of updates, so you will be frustrated with it.
If you are a power user, just abandon the Note series altogether.

I have used Note 2 and Note 4 so far, just for the fact that they had big screens and Beautiful Displays.
Haven't used the Pen That much on either of them, just for some Note 4 Pen features as selecting texts, copying pasting mainly.
I am a power user, meaning a removable Battery is a MUST, and expansion storage also.
I bought like 3 extra Note 4 batteries and those external battery charges for them to swap them whenever the active one is drained. (until my phone was stolen).
So basically i am thinking of buying another Note 4,to take advantage of those batteries and chargers.
And since Note 6 will not reintroduce these necessary features (is it confirmed though?), then note 6 is out of the question also.
What other worthy phones are out there with my needs?
I saw only LG G4, should i go for it, or wait until February for G5?
vegetaleb
G5 will be out in July ;)
S7 and HTC M10 in End April
Yes Note 5 is not following the Note legend, they compromised features for copying Iphone 6+, getting rid of the SD card was a huge mistake.
Even with my 32gb G4 + 64gb SD it's nearly full, I have some 1.5-3gb adult VR movies for the cardboard, so imagine if you are limited by internal memory...
HTC A9 is a good choice too

I'm Sticking with the Note 4!
Anyone knows where can i get the Snapdragon model with LTE in lebanon?

Just a tip for those who have a Note 4 and wish for extreme battery life, try out ZeroLemon.com. They have 10000 mAh batteries. Some users report 17-18 hours of screen-on time, which is jaw-dropping in my opinion.
AVOlio
I have ordered the zerolemon 10k mah batteries for my previous note 4.
Unfortunately i only tried them for a couple of days only (didn't even finish its charging cycle) before my phone was stolen.
Anyway, please if anyone knows where i can get the note 4 LTE snapdragon version in Lebanon let me know.

Ok i called Stars communications 2 times, and in both times they told me they have different models.
First time he told me they sell SM-N910F
second time the guy said they have SM-N910G.
Which one i should go with?
Or should i go with Exynos after all?

Hey. I answered you in your PM but I will answer here in case anyone else wants to know this information. Look for the 910C model if you can find it. It is the most supported model in terms of upgrades. My 910G is still on 4.4.4 for example. If you really don't care about the CPU, go with the 910C.

Hey guys
So I got my note 4 international version, and there's a question I've been wondering since long time.
I don't know if it related to the note 4, or all other smartphones or just the network coverage in the country,
But ever since had both of my note 4's, and even on my note 2 before as I remember,
The mobile data icon in the notification bar at the top always show either H or H+ and sometimes only for brief seconds 3G.
Isn't it supposed to show always 3G in metn? Or is there something wrong in the phone?
Of course when I move to Beirut area it will he 4G,and it does.
But what about 3G, and what is H/H+?
nosense
H and H+ are Hspa and Hspa+, which have higher data rate compared to 3g UMTS, so it's better to have H and H+
Salloum
3G is 3G, H is 3.5G and H+ is 3.9G. LTE is 4G. In my experience though there is almost no difference in Lebanon between all 4. I usually have 4G turned off even in Beirut because the signal isn't very strong and it drains my battery.

I recommend people who are on Note 4 to not swap with G4, this is why:
-There is the BLOD risk (Bootloop of Death) which touch many G4 with serials beginning with 505 and 506, the board get smoked, your phone is dead. Thanks God I didn't get it but it can occur any time.
-Camera with white subject like snow will do pink tint, took some photos during my ski trip the other day and most photos were not good because of uninvited pink tint, this kind of tint was on most phones cameras 7 or so years ago, it's a shame that a 2015 phone still has it.
-Touchscreen problem, it can be light on some and hard on others, mine was light
-Battery was not better than M9 even with MM update, SOT can go down the toilet like 2.5 hours
-Music quality is not good and 3.5mm has very low volume, specially if you use it while doing sports.
Don't get me wrong the G4 is a very good phone but these problems make it not worth to swap a note 4 with it.The BLOD risk alone is frightening.

Good thing that i sticked with the Note 4 for a second time after the first one was stolen.
I simply loved it since the beginning.
Although the only phone that was intriguing me to go towards it away from the note 4 was the G4.
I saw a package offer at class which had included an extra battery, but when i went there to buy, they were out of stock.
So i am still very happy with my second Note 4.

The Note 4 has been the best phone I have ever owned. I'm don't feel the need for another phone until late 2016 or 2017 when Nokia releases its Android phone.

Guys didn't the note 4 have fm radio as well?
