Hello, I have an option of getting either of those phones and would not mind a bigger size of G pro. I have galaxy S3 right now. Anybody switched from G Pro to S4 and happy about it?

Check this thread out. This guy has had the S4, One and OG Pro and does a really nice comparison.
I have the OG Pro and love it. My girlfriend has the S4 and she loves that. I personally thought the S4 felt very light and delicate and like the solid feel of the OG Pro.

I have a galaxy s4 and have a friend who wants it. He has a note 2 and his wife has a optimus G pro. He wants to trade one of them for the s4. Was thinking about it but does anybody know anything about the other devices. Or are they going to be a bad trade.

Bro trust me keep the s4... I have had the note 2 and the optimus s4 way better

1080p screen is key. I wouldn't touch the Note, but would definitely consider the G Pro.
I agree with tmushtare. Keep the GS4. I have had all three phones as well. The GS4 is superior to the Note II & O-G Pro, + has a higher resale value than the other 2.
The OG pro is nice I was considering it when I bought my S4 ( I had the optimus G) and have had the Note 2.. The only thing I see as better about either is the 5+ inch screen... But for me the 5" screen is the sweet spot.. I get awesome battery life on my S4 and its a good size for my big fingers but it's not so big that I have trouble using it one handed.. Love my S4

I had the HTC One, OG pro, Note 2 and now S4. I had both the I9500 and now the the I9505. To make a long story short keep the S4 or get the Gpro if you like bigger screen. You cant go wrong with either phone seriously but know that the gpro development is pretty much non existent right now . As far as the note 2 it is an incredible device but the Note 3 is right around the corner. I would say keep the S4 for the time being and see what the note 3 is about in a short couple of months.

Thanks for all the replys. I have defiantly have exclude the note 2. Somebody said the gpro had support here but doesn't anymore. If I got it could u root and run custom ROMs?

The G pro development section is a ghost town compared to the s4.. Take a look at the forums and see for yourself lol

I haven't checked any other sites but if any site were to have ROMs and mods and whatnot for OG Pro it would be xda and I just checked again so I don't eat my words there isn't one ROM there in fact there's only like 10 topics in the development section
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
OK I took a look and gpro doesn't have that much in it. So if u just run stock then the gpro would be OK. Think I'll stick with the s4. Thanks everybody.

Now if we can get a bootloader unlock for the s4 we would be set.

I tried this G pro when my s4 was stolen. It's heavy to me but 5.5 inch screen. It seemed a tad bit slower not much than s4. I've mainly owned either Samsung or LG devices so I'm used to the difference between them. I just felt less comfortable carrying the Pro. I would definitely use it at home but not out & about. The storage is great 32gb internal with additional sd storage.
Hello everyone,I been thinking of getting a brand new nexus 4 for my samsung galaxy s4 i9500, my question is what do you think about the nexus 4? Im mean is it worth it?ive never used any of nexus series before, always bought samsung products.

Unlike the i9505,no stable AOSP roms for the i9500 ..touch wiz is just pain..
I've got the I9505 and the Nexus 4. In terms of development the Nexus device will always be a step ahead due to being a stock android phone. Crazy amount of roms and kernels. I find the N4 faster and smoother in day to day operation as it optimises the software perfectly. The Galaxy bare in mind has better camera, expandable storage, bigger screen, 1080p not that big a difference, removable battery.
Down to you I'm happy with both devices. But use my Galaxy as a daily driver due to better camera and such.

Sweet, i hear the i9505 is better than the i9500 in terms of the battery and no heating issues, not to mention how many custom roms and kernels available.I would have bought the i9505 if i had any idea about which version is better so now im left the i9500 , im not gonna buy a new s4 since im not planning on spending that much of money but think im going to buy me a nexus 4 and just use the 2 phones for different purposes, just a quick question, black or white nexus?
Black one for sure. It's a sexy device. It just works so well. The speed on custom roms like Rasbean is great. Plus you get the latest software updates to android. The roms are better than the GE of the roms as Google upload a version for developers to tweak so you get many more custom roms based on their sources or CM etc. If it had a better camera and that it'd be my main device Nexus 5 should be great.

Thought it was going to build by LG again, based on the G2 but without the Snapdragon 800 to keep the price lower. Aah well, we`ll see .

Yea , its what i heard too, but oh well motorola is fine also.
I have both. I9505 and nexus 4. Believe me, the nexus 4 is much more enjoyable to use, tiny little things in nexus 4 like navbar, curved screen edge makes using quickcontrols in aosp browser really much better where as in s4 it's harder to trigger thr quickcontrols since the screen is not level with the bezel.
The feel of holding the nexus 4 is much better than s4 with its plastic back, felt sticky and lots of sweat on s4.
And the most awesome in nexus 4 is the vibration feel when you type, it's softer and deep, i really cant explain it and you have to feel it yourself.
Other than three i mention above, galaxy s4 wins hands down.

Hello everyone, I'm new here and I currently hold a iPhone 5(lets not hate...) anyways I'm with AT&T and would like to stay here. Im interested in picking up a new Note 3 but it looks like theres not a lot going on with the AT&T model so any recommendations to get the AT&T model vs Tmobile vs other options?

Any particular reason you prefer the LG G2?
It has more dev activity and is the perfect size especially for someone coming from a iphone

Thanks for the input, I have been messing around some on my friends Note 2 and I'm comfortable with its size. the G2 would be a tad bit smaller and Note a bit larger. either way there all similar. One reason I'm tired of the iPhone is its small.

I am upgrading phone and am torn between the two. If it was you, which would you get?
G2
G2 since the pro is too big for me. Anyway it is better for you to wait for the G Pro 2, if you choose the pro.

You've pretty much just answered your own question. If you want Vanilla Android get a Nexus.

+1 Grab the Nexus 5. I myself prefer that AOSP look over anything else.

My next device will be a sony. They are so good with development on Android. I would get a nexus after my note but going down in screen size isn't gonna happen.
I should have gotten that ultra haha. I don't use my camera for flash anyways
dont forget the thanks button if I helped out!!
But I worked with G2 , such a comfortable phone. Nexus camera is poor! But the design is perfect. Z Ultra is the biggest and lovely. But I have xperia sola and t and SP , they have poor quality on screen and camera. I really dont know
Btw the cm is for all phones right now exept my f**cking Note 3 exynos

Thread Closed.
This has nothing to do with this forum at all, this forum is here to ask questions and get help with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
Asking what you would buy instead of the Note 3 Exynos doesn't excuse the thread.
Thank you.
