Droid Turbo vs. Note 4

What are your thoughts? I have had the Turbo about a month, but have 10 days to return it. I have been really thinking about the Note 4 as a substitute, but I am hoping that some of you may have opinions on the two devices.

If Verizon were to Ever announce a Nexus 6 in the next 10 days I'd do that.

Any thoughts on the two devices for a long time Android user?

Where'd you buy the Turbo from that you have over a month to return it? I'd take the Note 4 if you don't mind the size. Best Android screen and camera by far.

Long story that involves a lot of work from a number of corporate stores that took great care of MW when I needed a new phone asap.

Well if you do return it. Go to the same person that got you the phone if possible. Don't make their efforts worthless. Good luck!

That's the plan at the moment.

I love the turbo, but the battery isn't as awesome as one would hope. Full day no issues, however the the Note seems more refined...

I'd say it definitely is. But it's a big phone. Hold it before you buy it.

I like the Note better overall but the keyboard on the Turbo is far better than the Note 4 one. I'll type in very obvious words like "am" and it'll change it to at for no reason. It's really annoyong (meanwhile I typed that wrong and it didn't fix it). Turbo has a better battery life but they both fast charge so at that point the battery life doesn't matter as much. I like the Turbo's size better as the Note 4 with a case is really heavy. The fact that you can expand the memory and replace the battery are what pushed me towards the Note. On top of that, camera wise you can't even compare. The Turbo's camera is shit.

I just got the Note 4 yesterday from a verizon corporate store and I have until January 15 to return/exchange. So if the Nexus 6 comes out I may switch.

it depends on what your expectations are from a phone.

Is it true you can't use data while on a call with the turbo? If so that's a deal breaker. I'm due for an upgrade and I want a Nexus 6 or a note 4. I'm beginning to become concerned that Verizon isn't getting the Nexus 6. No news on a release date and it's been out a while and I believe every carrier but Verizon has it. Nothing about the turbo besides the battery stands out to me.

That used to be true. The most recent update have us VoLTE and data/calls.
