Not a true benefit:

Especially considering the loss of low-light capability. Nevertheless, the S6E+ still has a very good camera.

Couple quick concepts I'm confused about followed by an idea.
I want to install an S6 edge camera sensor into my Note 4.
I understand we don't have permanent root access on the note 4 because the bootloader is locked.
There is a developer version of the note 4 that can be purchased for a different price. Is it possible to turn a retail phone into a developer edition phone by flashing something?
Can I use the kingroot superSU method to get temporary root access?
Using the temporary root access can I port the Galaxy S6 camera application to my note 4? I read the porting thread here, but wasn't sure if it was only for developer phones or tmobile rooted phones.
Replacement S6 edge camera sensor: New users can't post links
Can I open my phone and replace the note 4 camera sensor with the S6 camera sensor? Using the S6 edge camera sensor, will it be fully functional and effectively "driven" by the ported S6 camera app? In my mind the camera app is the "driver" and I liken this to flashing a nvidia gaming GPU to think it's a workstation GPU and installing workstation drivers to gain new features. Is that a good way of understanding this?

"The Galaxy S6 edge uses the same 16MP image sensor as the Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge, the Sony IMX240. The S6 edge upgrades the rest of the camera hardware with a new lens, which has an f/1.9 aperture. This lets 34% more light in than the old f/2.2 aperture and also makes bokeh in macro shots look much better."
I guess since it's just a new lens, the phone will never know the difference unless the software is specifically designed to compensate for an f/2.2 aperture. I bought the OEM s6 edge camera module from ebay for $20.00 I'm going to swap it in and see how it goes. I'll post pictures.
Finally, with the temporary root tools available can I do this process? Or next time I boot my phone the camera app won't work because I've lost root access.
Did anyone here upgrade from S6 to OP3 and tested camera between them? Which one is better?
Please don’t delete this topic it’s fair warning!
I hate to be right sometimes but as I told long ago after years of testing it turns out that the best camera of Samsung was in S6 / S6Edge+. Test it yourself. Hold S6 in one hand and for example S8 in the other and take a photo in good light. Then zoom it on the phone and you will see that S6 has better details, no artificial brightener while for example S8 has it.
S6 has 16 Mpix and all flagships that came after had 12 Mpix rear camera.
I’ve tested S6 Edge Plus vs. S7 / S8 / S8+, Note8, S9, S9+ and…
only S9+ finally beat S6. (look how Samsung did bad for us from Sep2015 till March2018)
I wish I had NOT sale my S6 and bought a newer one
If You don't believe me? Ask XDA members who has S6 and a later Galaxy S model (but not S9+)
This is a Warning for You don't sell your S6!!!! or sell only if you can afford to buy S9+.
I did the wrong thing so I Warn you no to make the same mistake that I did

Android Pie and OneUI for Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus Discussion
Lets discuss if Android Pie OneUI will get to the S6 Edge Plus.
possibly only through roms which i don't think it will be possible as this device might be old to cope up with the newer hardware in 2019. But we can only hope right

Seriously doubt it. There has been no new development for this device in ages.
