By default, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is too big for one-handed use for most people. Thankfully you can customize it to allow your thumb to reach across the entire screen.
In Settings, tap Display and wallpaper under Quick Settings, and select One-handed operation.

In either hand, quickly drag your thumb from the edge of the screen to the center and back again. The screen shrinks down for one handed use. Adjust the screen size by tapping the upper left corner and adjusting the size to fit your thumb reach. You'll now have easy access to options like volume control, back, home, and recent apps.
