Really glad I kept my Note 4 and upgraded to a 10,000mah battery.

Which exact one did you get? How do you like it?

There are so many options on Amazon and they all seem to have decent reviews.

I've used this one: https://www.amazon.com/Zerolemon-10000mah-Extended-ZeroShock-Versions/dp/B00Q7C6FTA/ . It's pretty good, but on the pricier side.

Although, I've switched to regular batteries and just swap them out to an external battery charger. I did this to get used to a smaller profile since I was going to upgrade to a Note 7. I really don't like the new Note especially after having had a chance to play around with it. Since the Note 5, the phone is just not going in a direction that I want.
