So I'm thinking of coming over to the N4 but worry that its not much better than the note I have. I'm mainly looking for more speed and RAM (including fully working butter on vanilla android)
I don't use the s pen so that's no worries, and the screen could be a little smaller (I'm not someone who keeps wanting bigger).
I don't have masses of data, 16gb would probably do.
Is the battery life comparable? I get around 4h on WiFi with the lowest screen brightness, airplane mode with web browsing.
It would be interesting to hear from other people who came from the note.
Thanks in advance

I ve got note n7000. Great phone, display, battery, camera. I love it, root-> uninstall stupid apps to get more free RAM and then is fucccccking awesome i used many roms, but stock jelly bean + root is what am i using now

Having had both the Note 1 and Note 2 i can definately say the N4 is waaaaaaaaaay better than the Note 1. I found the Note 1 laggy and battery life was not spectacular, because it only had a dual core cpu and a older gpu off course. The Note 2 is much much better and choosing between both the Note 2 and N4 is hard and is a matter of preference.
But that aside i would gladly swith from the Note 1 to the N4 if it we`re me because of the incredible user xperience in speed, fluidity and customizebility.

Thanks for your opinion. It does lag a bit, especially with CM10 where butter is not fully implemented.
The other main concern I forgot to add was the camera. I don't use the camera a massive amount on the Note 1 but I'd rather not go backwards to the N4. I only ask because the N4 hasn't got great reviews for the camera.
The N4's camera isn't great but it's not awful either. It wouldn't be a huge step back from the Note at all, and the benefits of the N4 are just so much huger that there's no doubting that it's better. As for battery life, it gets me through the day without issues and I expect you can manage around 4 hours of web browsing on the lowest brightness. I get 2 and a half hours of a variety of things on full brightness with WiFi/Mobile data usually on and am left with 20% battery at the end of the day.
OK so camera is probably a sideways, if not slight downgrade but I can deal with that.
The most annoying things about android phones for me is the screen latency, it takes a few m/s to register your finger where as the iphones react to swypes and touches better. Does the n4 come closer to that or is it the same screen latency as the note 1.
I've just score between 7800 and 8400 on antutu. What are you guys getting?

I haven't had latency issues. I get between 18000 and 22000 depending on the ROM/kernel.
im going to but a phone in 1 month but my current choice is nexus 4 but can anyone tell me about your or... nexus 4 performance? and if u can give me games fps? and should i worry about nexus 4 getting old because almost 1 year ago from this phones announce
and does games graphics change in devices (like dark night rises or nova 3 graphics is same on nexus 4 and htc one:?)
I use PA rom with Semaphore kernel and got 21500 on Antutu (not oc). I play now D-Day without any problem. Very smooth.

Performance is brilliant, the Adreno 320 really is a great GPU. You won't find any frame drops because normally it'll remain at almost 60FPS unless thermal throttling is having an effect. The Nexus 4 is nowhere near a year old, dunno where you got that from. It's been just over 7 months since announcement, 6 from the actual release. Certain apps may have 'Tegra 3' enhancements but they're unnoticeable and if you really want them there are some tweaks you can perform to get them. As for the games you mentioned I think the graphics should be the same across all devices.
and battery life in normal use: ever 2 days (3 hours 40m screen)
1 day 12 hours (5hrs screen)
thanks all im going to buy this anyway Google I/O is tommorow i realized if any nexus coming this year it most be tomorrow and thanks a lot!!!
oh and if i overclock it (if) how hot it gets? if u have done and does overclocking decrease phone life? if yes how much:?
i had sensation and i over clocked it to 1.8 for fun just a while my hands got bruned and turned red i redected speed to 1.5!
trust me, nexus 4 is the fastest phone you ever had. no lags at games, totally great multitasking, flawless playing of HD video..
Mine is so fricken fast that I have smoke coming out of it!
Hasn't been a year!! Was released in November

Nexus phones aren't usually announced at Google IO, normally there announced quite late in the year.

I would get the N4, unless you can wait 6 months for the new one to release. nothing beats the $337 in US with tax and shipping.
thanks i saw a lot of movies in my phone
i will get the n4 ^_^
even if new nexus announce in 6 months i will sell it
anyway i had a note-n7000 it was dualcore 1.4 it was completely horrible even weren't able to load its own touchwis it lag a lot and also had a lot of problems while my sensation whitout over cloack(1.2) had no problem and were running n.o.v.a 3 and ashphalt whitout any problem or lags but just load some apps slowly

anyway as im going to buy this soon can u give me some good roms
Of course I can, good ROMs are all here
i mean best theres almsot mroe than 50 roms! and my net is limited and speed is 25kb! so can download one only
Paranoid Android is the best one, IMHO
Also the N4 is going to smoke your Sensation and Note together.
I went from the Galaxy S3 to Nexus 4 and the speed increase is amazing, double the Antutu score and feels way less laggy than my T999
I bought the note 3 to replace the note 2.
I have not yet sold the note 2 and have been testing both phones simultaneously to determine for myself if the upgrade is worth it.
Note 2 setup: stock ( leaked android 4.3) , a few apps installed
Note 3 setup: stock (Android 4.3), same apps as installed on note 2
Benchmarks Apps:
Note 3 beats Note 2 in all I have tried.
Real world use/Apps:
I have run several applications (multiple times ). Some are .....
Browers: chrome, default browser,
Snote
Gmail
Youtube
Speedtest
maps
Camera
Google now
etc...
In several cases, the note 2 is slightly faster than note 3 ( yes, this is not a typo)
Not by much...... but note 2 in "real world use/applications" seems ever so slightly faster than note 3.
In multi-tasking/split window, I run CPU-Z side by side with the chrome browser.
This was to monitor the 4 cpu cores during browser benchmarks.
I tried the following browser benchmark tests....
1. browsermark - rightware.com
2. sunspider
In both tests, the note 2 out-performed the note 3. -----------update: {may have been due to thermal throtling}
I have searched the net and surprisingly, no one else seems to have noticed/reported this.
Can someone else with both phones verify this?
note 3: SM-N900 ( 1.9Ghz) - Octa-core
note 2: GT-N7100 (1.6Ghz) - Quad-core
Update:
I've run the online browser benchmarks a couple more times after some hours of rest.
Sunspider 1.0 scores {firefox}:
note 2: [ 664.4ms]........note 3: [ 414.8ms]
Benchmarks are consistently showing note 3 as faster than note 2.
Real world use shows little to no difference.
I don't think that a few seconds make a difference between two smartphones as daily driver. So I don't think the note 3 is worth the upgrade at least for what I heard. Thanks for sharing!

I dont have the Note 3, but I have just seen a video of the "famous" LG G2, with the S800, running some top games with FPS meter enabled, and I'm proud to say than my "old" Note 2 has the same performance, and in some games is even better! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16TAbUkAHlU
Benchmarks are the most useless thing that happened to mobile phones. And you can prove it with your own Note 2. Flash an AOSP rom and run a benchmark like 3DMark, you'll get a better result than in stock TouchWiz. So, this means that games should run better on AOSP, right? Then run some game. They will lag WAY more on AOSP roms than in stock roms. Benchmarks aren't a good indicator of anything.
In conclusion, I think phone specs are evolving, that's for sure, but the improvement between generations, like Note 2 -> Note 3, are little in terms of performance, it's not worth the huge amount of money they cost.
Maybe most apps are optimized for 720p rather than 1080p.

Thats so interesting. .I wouldnt ever expect that and first time hearing it. No i feel a sense to apprach note 3 performance suspected.
If you proove this with a video screenshots and some benchmark test you would do a revolution i guess..

More and more I believe that with top of the line smartphones like these, upgrading is necessary only every two years. I had the S2 before this and it's really when I began to feel the slouch in newer games that I decided to upgrade.

I have stored worrying about benchmarks because all people say is the phones cheat the score. I would rather see just see real world performance. And like a PC a higher clock speed and more cores does not mean better performance.

note 2 to 3 not compelling upgrade
very useful, thanks.
I was considering upgrading when Note 3 prices fall, maybe early 2014. But now I am far from sure especially with Samsung's stupid region locking.
Reasons to upgrade:
IR emitter for TV remote control. Vaguely useful, perhaps in bars and restaurants when their TVs are turned up too loud so's I can turn them off or down!
USB3. Possible good for faster charging off computer and occasionally dumping in a load of music files.
802.11ac. Maybe I'll upgrade one day at home?
Display. Reports suggest it's easier to read outdoors.
Reasons I was considering not upgrading:
Note2 can support all the note3 software. We just have to wait for Samsung to release it. Or androiders to kang the note3 rom.
Am happy with 720p display. I have quite good eyesight, with corrected vision (short sighted) and I never feel my Note2 needs more pixels on the screen. A better sensor in the camera for low light would be nice but the camera is good for casual shots.
Camera already good enough.
NFC antenna. I like the NFC antenna not being part of the battery so I can use Anker third party battery which gives as good as OEM battery.
S-Pen already good enough fine. I got used to the only minor nuisance that the off-screen capacitive buttons couldn't sense the pen.
CPU already fast enough.
802.11ac wifi. I don't have anything which supports super high speed wifi. I'd end up buying an 11ac access point, then would want to upgrade my laptop wifi card too.
Besides, 802.11a/n is faster than my broadband at home. And at work we don't even have 802.11a.
I too have the Note 2 (international) and the AT&T Note 3... I can say that if you don't have an upgrade available it definitely IS NOT worth paying full retail price for the phone. I signed a new 2 year agreement to get it for $288.88 and I can turn around and sell my Note 2 for $350-400 easily making my money back...
The pros with the Note 3 are that the screen is absolutely beautiful! Besides the S4 this is the most amazing screen I have ever seen with my own eyes. Next, comes the software. There's a lot of new small changes that make things easier to use, however most of these things will be coming to a Note 2 via an update. If you're into aesthetics then this device looks more "premium" over a Note 2 and I almost don't want to cover it with a case.
As far as performance goes, you can notice it slightly. Apps open faster, but it could be due to the increase in screen sensitivity also. TouchWiz eats up over 1 gig of ram leaving a little more than 1 gig free for user apps. On my note 2 with my custom rom I would use about 600mb of ram leaving a litle more than 1 gig free also. No improvements here.
Some buggy things I've noticed so far is that my text vibration is very weak compared to others such as email. Also every app gives me a vibration alert even if I turned it off.
There's a lot of bloat on here even for a carrier phone. Most of it is from Samsung it seems.
Besides the few "pros" I see with the Note 3, I would not recommend anyone to purchase it over a Note 2 unless you have an upgrade you can use. Especially an AT&T one with a locked bootloader, which forces you to keep all these useless apps running on your phone.

Leaked 4.3 is not final. Also I hope you flashed Wanam or such 4.3 based ROMs, not just 4.3 as it is. Either way pretty sure it's Touchwizlag.

this very well note 3, but I see exorbitant price
There is nothing worth here to give up $450 to trade in my Note II ($850-$400), mine is so fast and so optimised for my needs that will skip the Note 3 for the next one, for me that's the end of the story.

Hi guys!I gotta one question about performance for games on SGS 2 and SGS 3 for those people who had both phones.
Is Samsung Galaxy S 3 so much better and faster when running new and HD games?
Which phone uses more RAM?
I gotta feeling that SGS 2 is more stable because of RAM...Is that true?
P.S I am going to buy one of those 2 phones and I love playing games,so that is the reason I posted this question.
Hey there.I'm not a HD Games player but I'm a former S2 user and actual S3 user and I can say the S3 is much better. Even with 4.3 update ram ussage is good,no lag.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Agree with poster above.
Btw 4.3 update made even bigger difference between those two. SGS3 got 50% bump in performance and know one thing: unused RAM is wasted RAM. That means,no matter how full your RAM is,phone should be always stable. I always have to 100 mb free when multitasking and phone is as fast as it should be (+6 and more apps).
Galaxy S3 all the ways.
One question though, why do you and buy a phone which is kind of dead already? I don't deny the fact that s2 was a great phone but it's too old now. Go for a s3, it has better dev support
I hav got both S2 and S3..but ill say one thing abt hd gaming, if u planning for playing games then go for s3 as because it has more better config than s2..but on s2, asphalt 8 runs smooth as butter and better than s3.. but with other games such as gta san andreas, zero hour, dead trigger, etc, s3 performs much better..so go for s3.

I intend to buy a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and i found out that there are two variants
one with snapdragon processor and the other with a different one
i want to know which is better ?
in regards to performance , battery and system updates\support here ?
also what is the model number of it?
Don't go for snapdragon, I own the device from past 3 months, had vary high expectations, but it's completely useless, tried everything, every rom, every mod, experience comes nowhere near to what I had with HTC m8, after marshmallow , user interface is quite smooth, but gaming is still bad, I just posted another question about dvfs , read that, u'll understand. .

To be honest I am not sure exynos version would be any better, better go for Note 5

The very first question is your operator(carrier). What bands of LTE does it use?
You should find out this first and then you can choose which variant covers all the bands for your operator.
The last possibility is that if more than one variant satisfy your operator, you can choose the model you like.
I think in this case you can go for either, Exynos has as good support as SD variant if not better.

i've compared between them on phonearena and Note 4 is supposed to be better, and even my current xperia Z2 is better.
i've seen your post about dvfs , what i understood is that they decrease the performance to decrease the temperature resulting from the snapdragon. so is this fixed in note 5? or just guessing ?
if you care about system updates ...........keep away from Samsung

both note 4 and xperia z2 are better than the One M8.
i don't know how you misunderstood!
When I was going to buy mine I was all set for "F" variant and had no plan to buy "C" variant but..... I bought "C" model instead of "F". Then later, I read few reviews of both SOC's compared their performance, battery life and benchmarks.
This is the conclusion of my finding: "You will get a little more battery life on "F" variant with less cpu performance and with "C" variant slightly less battery but more cpu performance."
Guess what? I am more then happy with my decision and totally enjoying N910C performance.

Don't go for reviews on tech sites, check the real life usage reviews here on xda, best way would be to go in specific device forum & check the que-answer section, search for things like gaming performance & yes M8 if far too better than I have ever used, reason being simple, their sense UI is best, I am not a fan of any specific brand, but I always praise what is true, as for Note 5 , that thing is built upon exynos with 14mm cpu, very responsive & fast, no stuters in games like on note 4, rest you should check by visiting the local stores , manually check them...my guess is, since Samsung was in hurry to rush QHD for Note 4 , but SD805 isn't powerful enough to handle QHD gaming with their resourcehungry Touchwiz on top, it throttles very badly, but with Note 5 , they were ready

Nope, not a joke, as I said earlier M8 is much better than Note 4 that I have, atlest better than SD805 version, & yes I still own both devices, M8 not showing any sign of slowing down even after around 2 years, perfect device for anyone who wants 5" screen , next thing, audio quality of note 4 comes nowhere near M8 , both speakers & headphones, it completely crushes the note 4 , but again I like Note 4 for its Camera & Screen , perfect for me, but ever since I owned it, I am regularly fixing it everyday, it's been 2 years never had to root the m8, trust me, still unrooted, flawless experience, but the moment I bought Note 4, the first thing that I did was to root it, or should I say had to root it, tried everything , every custom rom, fluidity is no where near to M8 & as I said earlier I still own both devices, I am not making any false assumption.
Sense is better than TouchWiz undoubtedly, but I am finding tremendously hard to believe that M8 is that much better than Note 4 LOL! In fact Note 4, with a custom kernel and with different governor other than stock, is one of the smoothest Samsung I have ever used! Obviously Note 5 will be better, but not all are okay with glassy greasy puddle of mess.

As you said "smoothest samsung", try to get your hands on M8 someday & u'll understand why I am so much irritated with Note 4, I bought the device with same expectations & yes with custom roms & kernels it gets smooth, but nowhere near to M8, trust me,I have both devices sitting right besides me. The only reason I still have note 4 is the screen size, 5" is too small for me & I like colors on Amoled, also note 5 is still overpriced for now & I certainly don't like to waste my hard earned money, sInce my brother will be going to dubai this week, i'll get note 5 from there...price difference is around 18000.

True that, I have an m9 which leaves my note 4 in the dust. I've heard that HTC's are almost the fastest android devices around, second only to nexuses.

Well, I had nexus 5 also, bought it after reading so many praises of the device everywhere, had to sell it within a week, cheap build quality, worst audio through headphones, also I would prefer Sense UI over vanilla android any day, didn't notice any speed difference between N5 & M8..
