Just switched from iPhone 5, to the Galaxy Note 4, and I can tell you, I'm never going back to the iphone, this phone is a powerhouse and completely love it !
BTW, the Samsungs are nice - but I love using my Nexus 4 (and my wife has a Nexus 5). I enjoy them for the "vanilla" android/pure android experience. Plus they are fun to tweak/mess around with.
No the nexus uses android as it is a google device and google puts the latest android software on the nexus first (since it is a "pure" android experience, no skins or tweaks like other android devices - - unless one is to buy google play edition devices offered at https://play.google.com/store/devices ). Other phones/tablets have to wait until the respective manufacturer releases the update for the new versions of android. I'm currently running 4.4.4 kitkat and android 5 (lollipop) is going to start being available November 3. If I get impatient waiting for the OTA update, then I'll just download it from google and do a quick install.
For info on the latest nexus devices here is a quick link to the nexus 6 https://www.google.com/nexus/6/ and there are links there to the nexus 9 and nexus 5 as well.
I have one. love it. I have a cover and believe it or not it took only 8 days for my kids to smash the screen. I now have shards of glass in my fingers. Dh was attempting to give me a gift cause I have been dealing with my broken I pod for 3 years. sigh. I get nothing nice.
I have an original Note and love it. My eyes bugged out when I saw the clarity of display which was unique a few years ago. Since I do a LOT of reading on my phone, I like the slightly wider screen better than the taller but narrower later models. I read books and newspapers easily on my phone, am able to check facts on wikipedia etc without eyestrain, and it takes great pictures. Enjoy your new gadget!
I found out my neighbors daughter (who is my age) has a note 4. I must say, it is a light phone and the screen seems to be quite nice. She was singing the note 4's praises and saying how happy she is with it.
