I have the i9500 variant and my friend who has a note 2 asked if I wanted to trade. I know Note 3 is very near so even if I get the Note 2 I'd have to sell it instantly. I am on vacation in India and checked the prices.
Galaxy S4's, new ones cost about 35,000INR. Used ones sell for about 30,000INR.
Note 2's sell for 31,000INR. Used Note 2's sell at about 18,000INR.
I checked how iPhone was doing and saw.
iPhone 4S 16GB, new costs about 25,000 and used costs 20,000.
iPhone 4 16GB, new costs about 37,000INR and used for about 35,000INR.
So I am in a dilemma. I have about $60 worth of accessories with my S4 which I'd obviously giveaway. I do not wanna invest 10,000 more and buy a current highend device. I am eyeing the Xperia Z and Xperia Z Ultra but they say the display isn't nice. And Sony resale/support isn't good. HTC One is nice too but I think its expensive and HTC isn't good with updates.
So what should I do? How much should I sell my Galaxy S4 for? My friends offering me the Note 2 AND 15,000INR. So can anyone tell me how much would a 2 month old used Note 2 sell for?
Should I do it? If so, what should I replace my S4 with. I am thinking to get iPhone 4S and wait till Note 3 is out and sell iPhone 4S for Note 3.
I chose Apple cause they have good resale prices. I am thinking about getting the Nexus 4 too.. are their resale prices good too? betting on Nexus is risky as Google does price cuts wayyy often and there hasn't been a new Nexus in a while.
I need a good temporary phone that will sell well in about 3-4 months.
Opinions?
Note 2 is a bit of a niche phone. A lot of people can't deal with the size so obviously the s4 will have better resale value.
Unless there is a reason you don't want the s4 anymore then I'd just stick with that.

If i were you, id stick to my S 4 till the note 3's up for grabs.price wise, i see the galaxy s 4 price is still high tho it was released few months ago.But its your call mate, decide what suits you best.
I guess I'll keep S4. Note 2 internals are bad too... but for some reason it is tempting.
I do love my S4 though.
Silentrazor why are you even comparing prices? If you have issues with your phone cool.. Why sell your high spec phone for older tech?

Note 2 internals are not bad they are just not as good as the s4. I do understand why you are tempted ... I have both phones and am finding it hard to sell one of them as they are both great. At the end of the day though the s4 is much more popular and will be easier to recuperate money on later.

As long as it gives you what you need... Theres no reason to change your phone...
I would definitely keep the S4. It's a fine device.
Weird that the iPhone 4s sells for less than the 4. Or maybe you got it the other way round.
But anyway, if you like the note 2 it wouldn't be such a bad idea considering he's also paying you cash on top. Personally I prefer the S4 and wouldn't trade for any available phone.

Wait for the Nexus 5, if its anything like the LG G2 looks and the same specs it will be the hottest device around running KLP.
I think you should keep S4 till the next generation. Think about it, you're changing your phone within less than a year!! S4 is still a beast device, so why not hold up with it a little more? I bet your warranty (if not rooted/unlocked) is still there!! Do you want my advice?
Wait for Note IV or something like this
Your device can still keep up with current generation and even further
Also, if you're really going to buy the Note III, sell the device to your friend, get a 50$ cheap one, and then buy the Note III! I think it's better than investing in a good phone and selling it later.

Hello, this is my first post as I have just sold my ip5 and moving over to android. The poor performing maps and siri were the straw that broke this camels back. I don't have the time and confidence that apple may get it up to googles standard, especially not on a device that costs over £500.
I have never owned an android before but would love some advice as to whether my first one should be a nexus 4 or samsung galaxy S3.
I intend to use it for games and photos etc. so performance is a huge factor for me.
Thanks for all advice in advance.
I am selling my galaxy s3 for the nexus. The nexus is faster, smoother, will have better updates and also will have build quality closer to the iPhone.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Um well the Galaxy 3 is an old low end device. Not good at all. The Galaxy S3 however is a different story.
Both are quad core phones. So both should be plenty fast. We can't say the exact performance of the Nexus yet as it hasn't been released and the software is still in beta. The Nexus does cost only half the S3 so that's worth keeping in mind
*samsung Galaxy S3!
Haha Galaxy 3 is a very old android
Get The Nexus.
Wait until the N4 is in shops and then go and see both in person - the issue with posting here is that people are likely to tell you to go for the N4...Personally, I don't like the S3's design - the buttons are too low to be comfortable to use with one hand
Get the nexus
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
The s3 has all the (potential) downsides of he N⁴ covered; removable battery, sd card, bigger storage and LTE. If (one/some of) these are important/crucial to you get the galaxy s3. If not, I'd say go for the N⁴.
P.S. AFAIK the s3 will take better pics, but IMHO the difference isn't big enough to warrant choosing it over the N⁴. This is based off of my memory of reviews, not personal experience.

Seconded, especially if we're talking off-contract.
Like others I am buying the N4 (currently have S3) and will likely be selling my S3 shortly after.
The S3 is a VERY nice phone, I almost have no complaints about the phone itself. For me the problem is myself, I get bored and want a new phone. Add in the amount of dev for a Nexus device compared to an AT&T locked phone, and getting updates first, I'm sold. Then tell me its only $350 vs the $550 I paid for the S3... well gee
I am actually taking a detour in between to try out the Note II or maybe even a Lumia 920 this Friday when they hit AT&T stores, but again just out of boredom / I'll make a little money on it (buying @ upgrade price and sell) and possibly to try out WP8 just for something different.
Nexus 4 IMHO :good:
Dude, we can't tell you what to buy. It's your choice.
If you don't mind Samsung's touch wiz and you want/need micro SD, removable battery, bigger screen, or 4g, by all means, go with Galaxy
If you want stock Android, up to date software and hardware, and you want that "nexus" experience, nexus 4 will suit you very well

Nexus 4 has google experience but no LTE, extSD
Samsung tends to have LTE and extSD...but based on the article the S4 will match Verizon Droid DNA 440ppi, but OLED so even better than Droid DNA...that's going to be one kickass phone to have. Downside is probably have to wait for 4 months (until CES 2013) and no google experience.
Worth the waiting?
440ppi overrated?
If you need/want to replace your phone now, get the Nexus 4. If you're planning on waiting at least six months, you'll probably want to look for something else, phone hardware is constantly being one-upped by the newest release.
Are you honestly asking if you should get a phone that won't be released for another 6+ months?
Good luck with that.
Are you able to get it at upgrade price? If not then is LTE (if you have at&t. If you have T-Mobile you may be waiting for a while to get LTE) and expandable storage worth an extra $300+. If you can afford to pay the difference than it's up to your preference

the nexus4 is $299 right now with no contract
the s4 will most likely be in the $600+ range when it comes out and by then the n4 could see a $50 price drop...

I don't see why people label phones based on their price. Do you honestly think any of today's phones are worth what they cost? HECK NO.
Google did something extreme here. They offered a FLAGSHIP unlocked device for a REASONABLE price which is something that hasn't been done. I don't care what you say, no Galaxy phone is worth $600. It's an EXTREME price markup. And no, a higher markup doesn't mean the phone is higher quality (plastic junk that is the current S III).
s3 > nexus 4 in terms of build quality and probably everything else
obviously s4 will blow nexus 4 out of water
I have no money to buy the Galaxy S4 T_T
I think it will be too expensive!
The Nexus 4 is better.
Sorry about my bad English!
Stupid comparison, comparing the nexus 4 to a phone that isn't arriving til summer 2013 based on their past 3 galaxy phones and their release dates.
You might aswell ask Galaxy s4 vs Nexus 5 as that's the same timeframe difference!

N4 or S4 that's a good question !
I wanted N4 now to replace my sgs2, but we may need to wait a month to get it, and rumors around the s4 are growing fast since the coming out of iphone 5 and nexus 4 ! It could be presented in january but more likely in february (in any case sooner than usual).
What we know : samsung as developped a thinner 64gb drive and more powerfull, getting its exynos 5 quadcore ready and mali t658, invested 1billions in oled fhd screens, referenced recently a 4"99 screen with 441ppp, they are now ok with induction charging, and we also know samsung is going to realese the s4 quicker (february). Forgot the flexible screen for early 2013, I don't know how they can integrate it in a fonctionnal daily use.
Also, adreno 320 is one of the first compatible with next opengl es 3.0, wich 2 year old mali 400 is not !
I can imagine the mali t658 if realesed will give a huge kick in the ass of adreno 320
So nexus 4 350 coins in a month for best performance of the year, or wait 2 months for s4 announcement of a product that will kick everybody's ass... that's a good question.
I've been dispointed by samsung this year : 1go ram in s3, mali 400 and low resolution in note 2, I really hope they gonna be perfect in 2013 !!
(Not the point here but have you seen their screens for 2013 ?? Transparent, flexible, high resolution oled etc... )
Last point, if we all die on december 21th, just get a N4 ^^

I sense a strong amount of fanboyism and biasm. Also not sure why you're posting here if you're already completely dismissing the device. This is coming from someone who owned a plasticky S3 and well aware of its build quality, as well as owning the SII, Note and Nexus and various other Samsung.

It began with the intervieuw of an official samsung employee in the korea times when iphone 5 came out. But you're right nobody knows, it could be next week, it could be never ! it is not because apple is lost since steve jobs'death that samsung has to bring new products every 6 months !!
Also s3 isn't > N4, look at ram, gpu, opengl es 3.0 support for next gen, plastics...:good:
I love my Galaxy S3 as it handles all the stuff that i want. But after S4 is launched i am knda confused whether to upgrade to Galaxy S4 as it is worth it or not? so what are your opinions about that?
Right now I honestly don't think so. It has a lot of cool features, but most of them are software related. The phone isn't a big enough jump from the s3 (for me) hardware wise to justify paying full retail for it.
Says on CNET that software features will also come to the S3. I guess we just have to wait unless someone can adapt the S4 rom to the S3.
AW: Worth Upgrading From Galaxy S3
If you got some cash to burn and want to always have the latest and greatest I think it is worth.
If none of these things apply to you then keep the S3. I take care of a S2 and apart from the screen resolution it is still cool.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Nope, not worth the upgrade.
Same question here, I'll wait for the reviews before deciding whether to upgrade or no.
Isn't really a jaw dropping Samsung Flagship Device
Well for me, it definitely was not a surprise to have a glimpse of the Galaxy S4 at that, much melodramatic, musical event.
As far as the design is concerned, iPhone 5 and HTC One are definitely ahead of the S4.
Body Casing: The Galaxy S4 is crafted from poly-carbonated material while the OmniBalance design with which the Sony Xperia Z is equipped seems more attractive.
Display: The S4 has a 441 ppi display which lags behind the HTC One display which stands at 468 ppi. Even the resolution is matchable with the HTC flagship phone!
Samsung Hub: Sorry for this mate too. Nothing's better than the BlackBerry Hub, at least for now.
So overall, this phone is not the supreme king of the smartphones which exist today. I would say that at this moment, this was not required and the Sony, HTC and BlackBerry flagship devices are definitely a better option for you.
I'm thinking of selling my galaxy note 2 to buy an s4 is it worth it. I love the note 2 but I also like having the latest phones. I have an s2 still and love it. I'm always changing ROMs as i do with my note and have had no problem with them at all hmmm decisions decicions ?

Design is subjective, and after owning the beautiful, and well built Nexus 4, I have to admit that I'm missing the plastic I had on my Galaxy Nexus. My Galaxy Nexus survived countless drops, and still looks almost new. I've been extremely lucky with my Nexus 4.
PPI means nothing. They both have 1920x1080 displays, the SGS4 simply has a larger 4.99" panel while the HTC One has a 4.7" panel.
The international version is ahead of both the HTC One and iPhone 5 with its Exynos 5 Octa, and more importantly its PowerVR SGX544MP3 GPU that's clocked at 533mhz.
It is really not worth upgrading at all - software things are coming to SGS4 - nothing new.
Hardware - also nothing :\
Buy a new computer/TV or something or wait till the next galaxy. Try HTC maybe (something different).
Im only upgrading because I have a Verizon SIII and I'm leaving the US in 3 weeks. I'm gonna need an international version although the VZW SIII works overseas.

If you have the $$$ and dont care how much you spend I'd say go for it. I'm pretty content with my GS3 so I'll hold off upgrading for now
For people like me with a 2011 phone, I'd say it is definitely worth upgrading to. But for people with HTC one x/s3/other top phones of 2012 just wait until something better comes out at CES 2014

Depends on your carrier. If I was a betting man, I'm betting the radio on the Verizon one sucks so I'd be more likely to pick the DNA. That being said if by some miracle after more than one useless Samsung phone on Verizon e.g. Galaxy Nexus, if the receiver/antenna is actually fixed I would consider it as the PDA side of their phone is great. If you are on another carrier besides Verizon the phone might work well. It seems like Samsung hates Verizon for some reason.
If there already was a giant thread on this I do apologize but I couldn't find it.
Anyway I currently have a Note II but don't use any of the S-Pen features and actually came to dislike the size of the phone. So if there is anyone out there that did make the switch: is it worth selling this Note and buying the S4 outright?

There are some people that swear the Note 2 is better. I have both in my home. Used both side by side for days. Just the size of the Note 2 alone makes me gag. I love my S4. No comparison in my OPINION. That's just me. Just the fluidity and functions alone are so much better. The screen is absolutely brilliant. Once custom roms come along it'll be nuff said.

I Upgraded to the S4 from the Note 2. The issues i had with the note were that even with its size i still could not use it as an e-reader/tablet like i wanted too, i also did not use the spen nearly as much as it was made for. With that said i had no reason to stay with a larger device. On top of the screen and camera on the S4 i am able to carry it much more comfortable in my pocket because of the lightweight slim frame.
Thanks guys, the unfortunate thing is I'm on Verizon and I'm probably going to be looking at a couple months before they can crack the bootloader and custom ROMs are actually available.

I have a brand new note 2 barely used interested in a trade?
I sold my 7 month old Note 2 & bought this AT&T I337. I love the S4, but I wish I'd got one that doesn't have the locked bootloader.
I switched from the note 2. The only reason i really did it was because someone offered me $400 for my note 2. I had an upgrade so I pocketed $200. Other than that.. I don't think the upgrade is really significant. Especially when the note 2 gets most of the S4 functions.
I feel it's not viable because of the high price.. in India is quoted at Rs.49990 nearly 800 USD .UNLOCKED... way too expensive... think Samsung has got the pricing absolutely wrong this time... 40k should have made me think off an upgrade.....

It depends on whether it has features which one really needs and which cannot be found on NoteII. Maybe you look at it from that angle.
Just wait till its available (25Th September on wards), 49900/- is the MRP should be available or around 47.5k give it lill more time till October end and u should be able ti buy it for 42/43k, most of the online store are selling sony Z1 for 43k where as its available for 40700/- locally.
Personally I won't be updating this time around. The only features which really grabbed me are the new note taking ones but I don't even use my note 2 for that. I have a note 8.0 which is much better for the purpose. Phone calls, texting and email work just fine on the note 2 and battery life is great so no reason to upgrade until note 4.

No. Maybe N5 or N6. I have my N2 for 6 months.

No, Note at All
Actually I am very happy with note 2.
Who will go for 49000 INR mobile phone.
Rather I may buy another Note 2 for my wife because I can get it at 28000 INR only.
Practically there is no app in the Google Play that could not be run perfectly on Note 2
I was going to but my dad just got an s4 and I've been setting it up for him. And honestly most of the new features are pointless and possible battery hogs.
Granted there's 1 or 2 i would like. But unless I can get it for say 50 quid plus my phone? I don't see the point.

That's just the launch date price and in store price. I buy my phones off of Amazon.es, since I'm here in Spain. They go down in price really quickly. The note 2 was 700 euros when it launched last year, in October (mid october) I bought it online for 540. Which is 160 euros off the list price in stores. 8 months later in store it was still 700 euros.
I think stores have to get more competitive or else they will lose more clients. I can't beat lower prices, free 2-3 day shipping and being able to buy stuff from home. I still go out and buy stuff, but really expensive stuff is a lot cheaper online. I found my current house thanks to a listing online! haha.
Back to the topic: I am thinking of the Note 3 as an update to my Note 2, but not this month or maybe even next. November? December? January? I love my Note 2. But I am also eyeing the Sony Xperia Z1 as well was waiting for the Nexus 5. After we get some proper reviews I'll think about it. But I honestly think that 550 is a good deal for the Note 3. I refuse to pay more than 550 for any mobile phone (unlocked of course). So just wait a few days or weeks or maybe even a month and you'll see the price drop quickly, especially online due to competition with other online retailers.
So... Are you going to buy it ?
For battery the LG g2 is also nice!

I dont think I ll buy another samsung device. Note 2 is to keep untill it fries itself. And then moving back to HTC whatever they might have then.

No I dont see any reason why I should
Just wait for the JB 4.3 update for your Note 2....then you will have a note 3...except for the tacky plastic simulated leather case. Admittedly, it may not run as fast as the Note 3....but it will do everything the note 3 can do....why waste your money if you have a N2?:fingers-crossed:

I feel it's not viable because of the high price.. in India is quoted at Rs.49990 nearly 800 USD .UNLOCKED... way too expensive... think Samsung has got the pricing absolutely wrong this time... 40k should have made me think off an upgrade.....

Actually I am very happy with note 2.
Who will go for 49000 INR mobile phone.
Rather I may buy another Note 2 for my wife because I can get it at 28000 INR only.
Practically there is no app in the Google Play that could not be run perfectly on Note 2

Think it's good idea to wait for 4.3 then decide.. till then the process of Note 3n would have also cooled down... but samsung is delaying the software upgrades for all phones..it's very bad....

not me
yeah i prefer the looks of the note 2 more than the note 3.. i just want the update for my note 2 and hopefully some features from the note 3..
and then of topic the galaxy gear, do i need it? no.. do i want it? yes.. but both gear and note 3 prices were out today in finland so the note 3 will go for 750€ and the gear for 350€ and that is just too much for me , so will have to wait and hope the prices will drop fast
