[Q] Worth to Upgrade from Note 2 to Note 3?

I need advice from u guys, is it really sensible to loose money what we spend on Note 2 & buy Note 3?

nope :laugh:

I'm upgrading only because I have an upgrade to burn but if I didn't, I'd be perfectly happy with the Note 2 for another year.

If you have enough money then its worth or else nope.

Easy answer is NO....! If your buying it simm free £650 they have got to be joking..! If your due a free upgrade then go for it...!

Wow. I'm surprised no one asked that question. Wait. They did. This forum's only four pages long. Would it have been hard to find these threads?

[Q] Where did you buy your Note 3 N9005?

It is been half a year since the note 3 release.
I have been thinking of buying a Note 3 for my old man. He got bigger hands than mine so a big phone might just suit him as well.
Just want to know where could I buy a note 3 N9005 in the U.S. for a safe and reasonable price?
I already check on amazon and it is about $580( price+shipping).
Maybe you guys have a better idea where to get one.
I am looking for a unlocked note 3 because my old man would travel to Asia every now and then.
Thank you for your information.

What would you do

So I currently have a note 2 and I'm debating if I should buy a note 3 of the classifieds or wait for the note 4. I'm new to the note 3 forums and not sure if the note 3 can be rooted and unlocked. The way Samsung is going, idk if the note 4 will be unlock able or even rooted. So idk what to do. My note 2 is starting to get real beat up and I don't know which route I should go. Any input would help. Thanks in advance!!!

wait for note 4

wait for note 4
it will be 64 bit and 4 GB ram
and we always find a way to root our phone.

Those specs are speculated as no official info on the N4 has been released, and the only leaked info (which was a pic of a manufacturer's spec list which could be easily faked) actually shows 3gb ram.
We won't know anything until Samsung announces the N4 in September as expected, and given Verizon's recent track record the N4 may be out for a while before a method for root is found.

it will definitely have 4 GB ram as Android L will support it
and its better to wait for a better phone than regret later.

I don't disagree with you there, September is not that far away.

[Q] To Note or not to Note!

Hi good people of the world. I have a question about actually getting this device or not. I'm from the UK and we have mainly have 24 month contracts.
I've basically got the Note 2, with CM. I'm very happy with it, but I've been looking at the Note 4 Vs Googles Nexus 6?
I have put together a collection of research on the Note 4.

Have I missed anything out? I've researched many of the top sites. Has anyone actually got this phone yet? I'd love your contribution.
Boom!

Will Note 3 get Android L update?

Hi guys,
I am about to buy a Galaxy Note 3, will be getting one within next 2-3 days. I am choosing this over the S5. But S5 is the newer device, so it will get more updates from Samsung I am sure, but will the Note 3 get Android L update which is coming soon?
Thanks in advance.

@devilsdouble I dont think it will get in next few days but months.

With the specs on the Note 3? If it doesn't then there's something wrong.

if it's not with official way, it will be with custom roms....

Yes not before 2015 after completing 4.4.4 update for all variants

Thanks guys. I wasn't expecting a quick update, if it comes in early 2015 then it is more than okay for me. But the question is will Samsung support this device till then?
Oh I have another important query. I was thinking about getting the N9005 model, the Snapdragon variant. It is not officially available here in my country, so I won't be getting any warranty, that's all right by me, but I have seen a topic called "regional lock" in General section, I wonder what that is! If I get a N9005 won't I be able to use it here? What the heck is this regional lock? Isn't there a way around of that bloody thing?
