I got seduced by a Galaxy S3...
I know, I am weak
I saw the younger, sleeker model and my lust got the better of me. I have enjoyed the Note and it has been a real multimedia device, but the combination of Nexus 7 and GS3 means it's time to go to pastures new.
Thanks to all on the Note forum!
aww no way Another sucker for the SGS3 !!
It is an awesome machine tho, I must admit. Good luck on your travels Maybe see you back here when the Note 2 gets released

I brought my Note just a day or so after the S3 was announced. The Note was cheaper and the S-Pen and larger screen are what I wanted more than a quad-core processor, which is quite unnecessary for my usage.
Good luck Joe.
The GS3 is a nice device. Awesome, actually, and there is no denying it is more popular with the general public.
My Note is my niche and my next leap is Note-2 which will be rocking a serious set of upgrades.
Only thing capable of seducing me into leaving my Galaxy Note is the Galaxy Note 2

Same here.
Not to mention that while I'm certainly fond of my toys, I'm not going to dump a perfectly good terminal just to get the latest one.
I got the Note because I broke my Streak.
OTOH, TIL that there actually are people that change their smartphones every six months. (removed my thoughts on that before posting )

I really don't like the design of the 3
Live the note
Hope the note 2 isn't too much like the 3 design

Hope you won't regret it after 2 weeks like i did...had to buy myself another Note. Couldn't stand smaller screen. The S3 is amazing though...
When the S3 was first released I said to myself "not this time Beards. Yes you bought the original S followed by the S2 but when you bought the Note you clearly told yourself you did not need the S3".
All was well until I started receiving blogs in my Inbox..... Then came the TV ads followed by more Online hype.
I was slowly being drawn in.
That was a couple of weeks back.....
Yes, I do miss the larger screen and yes I do miss the Pen but the S3 gives back a lot more in other areas where the Note simply has not got.
I love being able to launch the camera either by pressing and holding the Samsung Lockscreen and twisting it 90 degrees to launch the camera. Or without touching the S3 by simply saying to the S3 "Wake up Galaxy", followed by "Launch Camera" then finally saying "Shoot", or "Capture", or "Cheese".... CLICK. Shot of myself and my Brother taken.
Then there's being able to carry out a screen shot simply by waving the edge of my up righted palm across the screen.
Or how about whilst browsing through my collection of photo's in the much better Gallery App I notice the shots taken have Names shown and by simply taping on that name I can email the photo directly to them from the Gallery App.
There's a lot more but going back to the Lockscreen where I started this reply I really like how Samsung have made it in keeping with WidgetLocker. Granted it's not as good but then again WidgetLocker can't show me a News Ticker scrolling at the base of the screen.
There's loads more reasons... so let me leave it with the Notification Tools at the top now has a scrolling list of items you can either select or un-select.
B.T.W...... I am fortunate.... I still have my Note but it doesn't get the full attention any longer.

I've been really really REALLY tempted to buy the S3 lately. I am getting it for $400 new unlocked. But as much as I am trying to like it over my note, I am unable to do so. Screen is the second biggest factor actually for me. First is everything you mentioned. All these features are really great but stock based. I would most definitely be installing AOSP if I were to buy the S3 so all those features would be gone. And then it would just be a Note with smaller screen and two additional processors in a different casing, wouldn't it?
And the pen.. I was so skeptical of getting the note, now I just can't leave it unless I get the note II..

I totally agree with you, The S3 is an amazing piece of kit, no arguing there, But for me, it isnt a patch on my note.
I believe the note2 will have all the s3 features and more, then all the s3 fanboys will be complaining and wanting to come back to the note lol

ARE THESE FEATURE WORTH BUYING OR JUST SAMSUNG GIMMICKS WHICH WE CAN GET SOME TIME LATER ON NOTE 2 ?WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK ABOUT IT ?
Air Gestures: Refers to hand movements made above the phone's display, without coming into contact with the display, that controls the phone. Common gestures include waving your hand over the display to skip a track or waving left and right to switch between open web pages in the browser. These gestures only work with specific Samsung apps.
Air View: Like the stylus on the Galaxy Note 2, you can hover over the display with your finger to view information about certain pieces of content. For example, hovering your finger over an email shows you a longer preview without opening the message; hovering your finger over a date on the calendar shows you a quick view of what to expect on that day.
Drama Shot: Camera feature that shoots 12 photos at once and shows you a time-lapse of all the action in those photos combined into one picture.
Dual Camera: Activates both the rear camera and the front camera, so that the photographer can superimpose himself or herself into the subject of the photo. Samsung gave as an example someone watching football superimposing himself or herself into the game.
Dual Video Call: While video-chatting with someone, you can show them both your face and the view from your rear camera while you chat.
Group Play: Allows multiple Galaxy S4 owners in close proximity to join a private network in which they can, among other things, play a game.
S Health: New app that acts as a fitness tracker and food diary. The Galaxy S4 has a built-in pedometer to count your steps, and you can take photos of your meals each day to keep count of your calories and eating habits. Samsung will also sell a fitness bracelet, a digital scale and fitness belt to measure blood pressure, pulse, glucose levels and weight for those interested.
S Translator: An app in which you can input any of 10 languages and receive a translation, either spoken or in text. Also works to translate text on your email, text messages and a few other Samsung apps.
S Voice Drive: New hands-free function for drivers that allows the driver to operate the phone with his or her voice.
Samsung Adapt Display: The Galaxy S4 "learns" what you are viewing and adjusts the display's brightness accordingly. If the phone senses you are reading an article, for example, it will illuminate from a more muted brightness.
Samsung Adapt Sound: Similar to Adapt Display, your audio can adapt to the content you're listening to (video, music, etc.) and optimize itself to that content.
Samsung Optical Reader: Camera feature that can snap a photo of a business card and import that information into a new contact in your phonebook. Was not working as of demo time, but Samsung reps assured me it would be fixed by the time it shipped to consumers.
Samsung Smart Pause: When watching a video, the front camera can sense when your eyes move away from the screen and pause the video automatically if you aren't looking.
Samsung Smart Scroll: When you are reading an email or article on the web, you can scroll up and down by tilting the device up and down rather than swiping with your finger.
Samsung WatchON: A built-in IR sensor lets you control your television set with your smartphone. Comes with a standard remote and a program guide depending on your cable provider. Can also control certain cable boxes and DVD players.
Share Music: When linked with Group Play, multiple Galaxy S4s can work as surround sound speakers, all playing the same song at once.
Sound & Shot: Allows you to record up to nine seconds of audio at the time of taking each photo.
Story Album: Templates that allow you to create a digital photo journal or scrapbook from a certain event. You can also then order and print out that story album for a fee.
Omg this is exciting I am buying one for sure is there any image of the actual device ??

Agreed, the actual hardware of the s4 isn't that Much better than the Note 2. For my uses the Note 2 is already fast as **** and with plenty 0t battery life. It strikes me that most of the desirable functions of the s4 are software based, and even then I don't think they are exciting enough to make me want to give up the s-pen. It's just too damn handy to be able to use your phone just like a pen & notepad.

Wait, i'm not so expert, but i read about the Octa that works like two separeted Quad. So the point is that S4 is not 2x much powerful, but only for the Ghz of his best Quad... Maybe I'm wrong, but I suppose that will be no problem for the feature that are not requesting the IR sensor or the umidity sensor or something similar.
This air gesture is a pretty old feature which I was using on my old Nokia, it was a 3rd party application that used the front camera to detect the motion of your hands over the screen and swipe photos or pages. Nothing new and certainly not a samsung innovation. Really disappointed as I find it too hyped up.

Yeah that sounds likely :-\
Btw... Am I the only one who is disappointet by the lack of HDR video?
patience guys......most of the software features on s4 are going to come to the note2..(as confirmed by the top guns at samsung)....but need to wait for the updates..4.2.2
At the first impulse, I wouldn't mind selling my Note 2 and getting an S4, mostly because I think I wouldn't miss the extra screen size (0.5" now) and I would like the decrease in chassis size/weight. Also I'd really like to have an IR emitter to be able to control the TV and other devices.
The other features are mostly software, not a big step up from what I have in the N2.
However, I think I would miss the SPen - I got really used to it and don't consider it a useless gadget anymore. It is great. Extra precision compared to any fingers and a screen that is always clean and shiny.
Plus I finally stopped thinking about battery and plugging in and charging. With the S2 I got an extended huge 2700mAh battery and even that could not compare to the Note2's battery. I now use the device fully from when I get up at 0730 till 1am and when I go to sleep it is usually still around 55% battery. I don't want to go back to a puny battery...
Note 3 will have same spec like S4 with more big screen, battery n S pen..thats for sure if following its history..

Flagship Phones from Galaxy series (S 3, Note 2) to get new software features
In an interview with PC Mag, Samsung VP of Portfolio Planning, Nick DiCarlo revealed that most of software features found on the Galaxy S4 will make their way to the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note 2 via firmware updates.
Features like the S Translator, S Health, the new S Voice Drive and basically any new software that you can find in Samsung’s Galaxy S4 and isn’t dependent on the new hardware and sensors should be available to the rest of the company’s high-end devices soon.
Whoa this just blasts iphone 5 away. It looks like apple will have to keep up with their 5s.

The s4 would be good for those who have note1 and s3 below (or made the mistake of buying an iPhone 5).
The more i look at it i think it's a Note 2 mini on steroids.

I love my note 2 but I'm going to change my wife s3 to s4 which looks better in my opinion. I'll wait for note 3. I hope that size will stay pretty same just screen will be stretched like3 on s4 form 5.5 to max 6!

After reading more than 1 person complaining about stuff from the Note 3 that's missing on the Note 4. Although I've never used the Note 3 it occurred to me that I don't have stuff that I had on the Note 2. There was a 2 month time frame where I was using the LG G3, so I can't recall everything, but I know the Note 2 had different home screens based on what you're doing. For example, if you plug in headphones it brought up a screen for related apps.
I can't believe that that's not on the Note 4. What other things have been removed since the Note 2, and for the sake of interest, the Note 3?

Being an avid user of the Note series for last many years I went ahead and got myself a Note 5....I knew there were going to be some hardware related compromises (no IR port, no micro SD, no removable battery) but still made the jump looking forward to newer tech and software experience.
Well within a couple of days of using it I have been forced by Samsung to go back to Note 4 as the Note 5 is a real disappointment in many respects on usage front too.
Here is my list of disappointing aspects of note 5...things which Note 4 has and for whatever reason Samsung decided to omit from Note 5.....I think they really messed up this time around and will see a dive in sales unless they do something to fix this mess soon....may be Note 5S????
HARDWARE RELATED OMISSIONS
1. No IR Port
2. No Micro SD Card
3. No removeable battery
SOFTWARE RELATED OMISSIONS
1. Dialer - does not find contacts that are there in the phone book....when I use smart dial to look for them.
2. Dialer - shows all contacts matching the smart dial combo in alphabetical order not frequent ones first....note 4 showed frequent ones first.
3. Alarm - snooze had many options - how many minutes how many times....this only has 5 minutes 3 times
4. Email - Emails had option not to show any previews and only show sender and subject in Note 4....this has no such option
5. Email - were segregated date wise in Note 4....here they are all clubbed together
6. SMS - names with similar ending digits in the number are getting mixed up....Eg: someone with number 1234567890 and someone with number 2234567890 are showing as same contact
7. Facebook calendar doesn't sync....Note 4 used to sync facebook contact bdays to my calendar. this doesn't.
8. Bloomberg for business not working....keeps force closing
9. S-Health step count not showing on lock screen - it used to show in Note 4
Many others...
SAMSUNG - please fix all of the above ASAP else your note 5 is going to be a massive flop.....everyone looking to upgrade from note 4 to note 5 please consider above list and then decide what you wish to do.

all the software related issues you having can be easily corrected by instaling different messaging or dialer app
for this you going back to note 4 ... doesnt make sense .... didnt u likes the amazing metal and glass build and sleek looks and smooth software of note 5 ?
software can be easily correccted or we can use different apps but hardware is what we have to live with and infront of note 5, the note 4 looks like a brick and plastic toy and note 4's older touchwiz is laggy and outdated

Cannot argue on the quality of the note 5 hardware at all.... It is impressive. However I am not a fan of third party apps when it comes to core apps such as dialer or messaging. I hope Samsung fixes these issues with an update.

you mentioned you going back to note 4, so you already sold note 5 ? and where did u buy it from in first place
Its not good .. "new functions" where ? Samsung removed important functions from Note 5... for me its over with next note. My last note is 4 or maybe 6 if Samsung add back MircoSD slot and IR .
Some of the software issues you mention are irritating but not deal breakers to me. I do agree that the note 4 email and alarm apps were better (for example, marking a group of emails as unread is 2 steps when it used to be one), and some apps, like this XDA app don't allow me to create a new thread (or I just can't figure out where to find it) but so far the device itself is so much faster to me.

i got my note 5 on the official release date and been using it for 3 days now. I came from the original note one, the finish on note 5 and the hardware and update are no complaint.
However, i have to agree with anshkhanna saying he wanted to go back to an older version.
i also expect a new phone which i can do pretty much all the customization right out of the box, but unfortunately, it wasnt exactly the case.
i'm satisfied with the interface of my note 1, the only problem is the hardware limitation and the phone is running extremely slow.
I had two problems and see if you guys are help me to solve.
1. i copied the photos from the old phone to storage/DCIM, but the "Gallery app" can't see any of them.
2. i can't setup a custom ringtone (i was successful at first and worked for about a day, then, the ringtone changed back to default). and when i select it, the system said "unable to see as ringtone". i tried mp3, wma, ogg, none of them work, and the file can be played properly.
Help pls.

Cannot argue on the quality of the note 5 hardware at all.... It is impressive. However I am not a fan of third party apps when it comes to core apps such as dialer or messaging. I hope Samsung fixes these issues with an update.

all the software related issues you having can be easily corrected by instaling different messaging or dialer app
for this you going back to note 4 ... doesnt make sense .... didnt u likes the amazing metal and glass build and sleek looks and smooth software of note 5 ?
software can be easily correccted or we can use different apps but hardware is what we have to live with and infront of note 5, the note 4 looks like a brick and plastic toy and note 4's older touchwiz is laggy and outdated

You sound like a Samsung employee...... Or an ex-iPhone fanboy that got the feeling their hand wanted back since you switched sides.

U got it all wrong.... Never used iPhone and not fan boy of anything just appreciate good tech... Unlike you, who instead of discussion wants to talk nonsense, read responses from other guys including OP who are discussion in mature way
Whose employee are you?

How dare he share his opinion? Must be a fan boy for certain.

It's so funny. I had my note 4 for a while now and had totally forgotten it had an ir blaster until reading the multiple complaints on these threads about how the note 5 didn't have one.

My last few Samsung phones had it and the only time I ever used it was to mess with people at bars and other public places.
At home it's just a lot easier to use my regular remotes.
TL; DR

Man I'm getting old. I had to Google that. Funny.
Might i Add some more features :
1. No more resizing windows, like with Spen
2. No more multi windows
3. Dialer cannot search groups
4. Gallery doesn't look in cloud drives for photos
5. All icons get smaller like favorites in email or messaging
6. App draw doesn't scroll 360 only one way then back.
7. Samsung account backup and restore gone (cant back up rejections lists etc..)
That's what i found having the phone fore three days.
It doesn't even seem to have a stylus built-in.
How does it compare to Note series from Samsung?
