Note 4 user here. Not sure what to do when this one dies. The pen is a great feature that hugely expands the uses of the device. I hope Samsung doesn't feel the need to stop producing phones with a pen.

Meh, my experience was the opposite - S2 died quickly, S3 was slow and with bloated software, Note 4 was and still is great. But anecdotes about one or two people's experience don't prove anything.

The only thing in that picture I want is the radio business controller. I would set the dial to BUSINESS and wait for the money to roll in via radio.

I don't see much value in published file hashes when they're hosted on the same site that hosts the files. If someone compromises the download link they're probably in a good position to update the hashes too.
