tell you for nothing its a very big upgrade
I bought it after less then 1 year from buying the note 2. Actually 8 months.
I can definitely tell I am NOT sorry fo buying it.
But .. go into the showrooms, play with it and then decide.

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.
-- Sent from the mighty Note 2 --
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.

If you think the bigger screen and longer lasting battery is worth, it then go for it. But remember the note has a weaker camera and isn't full 1080p HD

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.

Seriously? I am reallly considering the Z but lets see.
Holding onto my S4 as most of you suggested. I thought about selling my S4 and the Note 2 I get and get a very cheap phone till thenote 3 is announced then invest into it. I'll let you all know what happens. But for now I have my S4.

Yeah really... I had the Z but it overheats too much and I don't think the camera is better than the S4's camera... and Sony UI doesn't have that small cool features like air view if u like...

I will definitely keep my S4 and will go for Note III when it is launched,
Price of note 2 will drop again when note III is released, so better to stick with your S4 mate
S4 is a Good choice for now my friend Note 2 will loose it's charm once note 3 is released btw in bangalore india it's available at 27500 inr with bill :thumbup:
.
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...!

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.
Hi.
I have the Note 3 with rooted 4.3 version for over a year. I have to upgrade and fresh install of 4.4 because I'm getting issues.
I wanted to ask if it's worth upgrading to the Note 4 regarding the new sensor camera quality and battery. I don't use the S-pen and many other features. Money cost will be around 400 exchanging the Note 3 and its not an issue unless it's not wort it.
Thank you
I upgraded from note 2 and it was worth it.
I don't think note 3 - 4 might be worth it though unless you can give note 3 to family member and get note 4 on contract.
Next year I will give note 4 to family member and get note 5 on contract so that will be worth it but paying full price isn't worth it for me.
Thank you.
I will be paying half of the price of the Note 4.
I hope the camera is well improved to justify the purchase. The screen will be better but also will drain battery.
What and why Samsung you do this?
Until thill now we wait and was happy for new flagship release but now Samsung you just counthing money and sold phone?!
When you release few years ago phone they have new function and beaty now older phone have more choise then new.
When you see Note 4 vs Note 5 you will see more on Note 4 then on Note 5,small difference between this brothers.
I have S1,2,3,4 and then I go on Note line but after Note 5 I ask my self what now to buy when change Note 4???
#OFFICIAL No Note 5 for Europe,one more dissapoiting.
Best regards guys!!!
3000mah battery!!!! Samsung better fire som people!
Well . Thanks samsung for loosing a dedicated costumer!
Agreed. For the first time in 4 years, i missed live stream. Not interested at all. Samsung is just pushing their loyal customers away.

Bad bad and bad nothing new.
For me bigest dissapoiting is displey 518 ppi note 4 515 ppi and battery 3000mah note 4 3200mah,Samsung going down,self touchdown,NOCKOUT.
LG 4 pro looks interesting... They compared to iPhone 6 plus... Which has more memory and with the new iPhone coming out apple could kill Samsung.... And iPhone updates are way faster.. Goodbye Samsung or or may keep my note 4 for another year by then I may get update to 5.1.1...and they thanked loyal fans.... And they listened to what we want?
I agree man
Samsung please leave glass................ use metal or plastic but leave glass
I noticed that for the first time there is no difference in design or materials used for building both the Galaxy S6 & Note 5, same design & same stupid glass.
look to the design of S4 & Note 3 ........... there is a difference
S5 & Note 4 ........... there is a difference
This year I think Samsung missed & made such a stupid step back & it will cost Samsung a lot
Say No For Glass
Agree but Samsung made too many mistakes now like battery etc

Most likely the note 4 will be a rare piece! It will retain its price due to Note 5 epic fail.

Probably not a rare piece, but it just makes the Note 5's value proposition look that much worse!
Note 4s are going for about $300-400 right now and do a whole lot more despite being last year's model; why not just keep buying them? Perhaps Samsung will get the hint when last year's model outsells this year's model by a significant margin.
As for me, I'm not even going to sell mine; I'll just keep rocking it 'til it dies.

Does not really matter, since catering to the sheep gives greater margins than attracting geeks.

You said it.
Suggest Samsung should come up with 3 Note models every year and deliberately tag them officially as below:
Samsung Note Classic
Samsung Note Sheep
Samsung Note Floosy Edge
Never change the Classic model on the core features, yes improve and evolve the design.
For Sheep and Floosy variants, go and fsck yourself and do whatever it takes to keep the drunk suites happy.
If they wanted to carry experiments, they should have done on edge version only. Damn why they don,t realize that note users want bigger battery n microsd.

Because the note users you talk about would probably buy less units than sheep that just don't care about tech specs .

Some more like hole damn department they seriously goof and just got lazy with the note 5 build . Instead they just use galaxy s6 plus mold and just reversed the screen.

Agree with this thread. I have had the note 2, 3, and just bought the 4. Bought the note 4 only because of what they were doing with the 5. Unless they get rid of the glass back I won't buy another one. I love my note phones but don't like the direction they are going now with glass back, non removable battery, and no SD card. If they wanted something premium seems like they could have gone with leather like LG or some other premium material that would at least let the back be removable.
Interested in the LG g4 pro but the display in their LG line doesn't seem to be as vibrant as Samsung's but will have to see what it looks like when it comes out. BUT for now will enjoy my note 4 as long as I can.

You didn't miss anything on the live stream. It was pathetic, almost embarrassing. The only thing worth a mention was the faster wireless charging. It was a real yawn fest.
