Note 3 is better with sophisticated software Jelly Bean 4.3.
Note 2 noproblem because still use Jelly Bean 4.1.2, My opinion was Jelly Bean 4.1.2 still the best.

I'm no expert but,
Note 3 n9000 apparently has no hardware knox counter, I don't need 4g as 3g is fast enough, I wont ned tovtake 4k videos ever, and the 4+4 core makes sense to me.
that's my opinion anyways.

Note 3 is soo much better n9005

Used note 2 for a whole year, never faced any issue. Moved to note 3 and loving it. No major issues.

Don't forget the camera on the 3.
Don't forget to use commas and periods, either.

Had Note 2, got the note 3. It's awsome. The screen is amazing. No problems with it.

I don't know of any problems on my Note 3.... Just beautiful

People brag about every little thing. In majority these issues doesn't exist

I have used the note 2 for a year and note 3 for a little over a month now. I can tell you with 100% certainty that note 3 is better in every possible way and is definitely worth the price increase from the note 2.

Note 2 or S4

Hello, I'm upgrading soon and would like to know if anyone has experiences with both the Note 2 and S4. I know the spec differences and I'm leaning towards the Note. I would just like opinions of people the have used both. Thanks
Edit: sorry, needs to be moved to q&a section.
Sent from my Jelly Beaned Infuse 4G!

get the S4, so much better than the Note 2, it's faster, better camera, more pocketable, more pixels, better screen, higher ppi, better software, longer battery life and so on.
The only thing Note 2 has is the stylus.

S4 is definitely a better option while doing a direct comparison. Since the price is almost same for both the phones its a pretty valid question.
The are 2 departments in which note 2 excels:
1. Considerably Huge battery
2. Spen with handwriting recognition and a bunch of other features.
So decide accordingly. If u can live without these 2 features go for S4 without hesitating.

Note 2.... Hands down...
10 Months back i was in the same situation as u... but i opted Note 2 and very much satisfied that i made a right choice.
It's been 10 months now but i still don't feel need to upgrade to Note 3 either. This beast really rocks.
Now I've updated it to 4.3 as well, through OTA
S4 is a phone like all other phones, But Note 2 is "Note 2"

Note 2 FOREVER !It's very good

Used to be a S4 owner but i sold it to buy Note 2 and i don't regret.
S4 over Note 2
- better display quality but not a huge difference , our eyes cannot make such a big difference between their ppi's.
- better camera , here you can see the differences.
- newer software ( but honestly i still prefer android 4.3 instead of 4.4 )
Note 2 over S4
- way much better battery , around 6+ hours of screen on with 1h games + 1h talk + 80% of the day wi-fi on
- better gaming , since the display it's bigger
- nicer design
This is my opinion,i hope it will be helpful for you.

Thanks for the input everyone! I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the Note II. I went with my gut on the Infuse and that was a great phone, now I'm going with my gut again on the Note.
:fingers-crossed:

Forever Samsung Note series (N7100-N8000 10.1):good:

Note 2 = improved usability, you have to spen practically a digital agenda
S4 = A modern smartphone
Now if you can buy, buy a note 3, the newest version of note 2 and much better than the S4

A Samsung Note Series is like a black dude.

note 2 obviously
CZ of the 2 gb ram ..it's the the ultimate phone till now...i hope you have grabed one...use for 2-3 months and wait kit kat official update after that unlock the potentials in your device by rooting and putting custom rom

Go with Galaxy S4

Seriously? Please add some context. Both phones are good but they're meant for different people. Well, sort of.
S4 is a more "mainstream" phone. A phone nobody will have problem using. A phone that is "compact" and has all the features necessary and more. It is meant to act as a phone suitable for everybody.
Note 2,different story. Bigger screen, stylus and note taking apps etc. Do the math. Note is basically a phone originally meant to replace paper and pencil. Of course it's much more than that. In fact most of us buy it because it has bigger screen. Also it's kind of less "mainstream" if you ask me. Want to differ from the crowd? Lol just joking.
I got Note not because I have particularly large hands but I still enjoy a big screen and like taking notes etc and act all cool by using the stylus. Joking again, I find the stylus rather useful.
So there you go, pick your side. Note(pun not intented) that S4 Is one generation ahead(year older), but the under-the-hood differences aren't too notable if you ask me. Personally I love big screens. Makes power usage easy and fun. Sure the big screen can be a disadvantage sometimes, can't argue with that.

I would just wait another month and get S5 (almost as big as note 2, much better performance, but no stylus.... )

Almost as big as note 2?
Note 2 is 5.5"

Deciding galaxy s5 or note 3

I like that it's easier to use than the note 3 because of its size. battery life is about the same as the note 3 and I don't really notice a slow down compared to the 3gb of ram on the note 3

worth buying?

Hi guys,
Please help with the following: i have now a note N7000, and i want to change it.
I can choose between Galaxy S4 I9505 and Note 3 N9005.
I'm thinking of S4 I9505, because i want a smaller device, having N7000 and buying N9005 is still big
Is S4 I9505 worth in 2014, because is almost a year old phone?
Thank you!

S4 would be better in 2015 as well the processor is just very fine clocked at 1.9ghz this is amazingly fast than n7000 and yeah the only differences between note 3 and s4 are
1)s-pen
2)latest processor is always fast thus considering note 3 a lil faster than s4 but you wont notice it!
3)and yeah better battery backup on note 3 as it has a 3200mah battery where as s4 2600
4)s4 i personally feel better not always u would use s pen and its lighter than note 3 and slim as well this 130gms will make u feel like u have nothing in your pocket lol at times while riding i used to check my pocket thinking it fell somewhere[emoji6]
But its a personal choice buy the one which is convenient for you!

Note 4 or Note 5?

Hello every happy note owner... I am planning to buy a new smartphone.. i have two smartphone in my mind.. 1) note 4 or 2) note 5.
I saw a thread about the zerolemon for the note 4 10000mah and 500gb sd card.. For me is the battery important.. does the note 5 have good battery or would you buy note 4 with the zerolemon? i need honest opinion.. And does the note 4 can handle every app and game fluid? i love heavy games.. Modern combat and nfs no limit and so on.. Thx in advance

Get the Note 4. Note 5 is junk.
Sent from my SM-N900 using Tapatalk

I had the option to choose either, but I chose Note 4. It has removable back and SD Card which makes it a real Note. You can say the camera on the Note 5 is %30 better. I already have NFS No Limits, and going through tabs in game is laggy, but I think it is the game's problem, because the gameplay (when racing) has %0 lags. There are also Note 5 ports if you are willing to ROOT it.
I am really happy with it.

In my opinion the note 5 is a fashion tool much more expensive, no ext sd card, no removable battery, but very pretty a few better things than the note 4 but not much. The Note 4, removable battery, ext sd card, ir blaster and has a professional look, performance is excelent on the note 4 and if for you battery is the most import, get the note 4 and buy a zerolemon thing. This is my personal opinion!

The Note 5 has the better hardware no question about that, you just have to ask yourself if better performance is worth giving up a swappable battery and external sd-slot for? Personally I would pick the Note 5 over the Note 4 at this point as it is bound to get Marshmellow faster.

Look at this and make your own decision. It all depends on your personal preference

I have played around with the Note 5. I'm keeping my Note 4. I personally do t feel the Note 5 is worth upgrading to.
Note 4 using Taptalk

Fact is that note 4 does support.. sd card.. Removable battery.. ir blaser.. These 3 things are very important to me.. my question was that if the note 5 is really faster alot. I am talking about real life performance and not stupid antutu benchmarks. thx for everyone who replied to help me out

The Note 5 is the newer phone, so naturally it's faster. BUT, we are basically at a point where the performance in flagships is a none issue in real life. The Note 4 does not lag as does the Note 5. I have yet to find a game which the N4 under clocked to 1496 Mhz won't handle.
Plus the development for N4 is quiet a bit further, so you are able to get overclockable kernels, CM, MIUI and all the N5 Software Features. For me Battery and SD are not that important and i chose the N4 none the less. I like to let devices mature a bit concerning Development. That way you get all the fixes from devs for things Sammy screwed up :good:

Note 5 is junk
Note 5 is junk, why must remove IR blaser in note 5?
For me Removable battery and IR blaser is very important and isn't important benchmarks for me when Note 4 is fast enough.

Note 4 still the best for me

Well i dont use my phone for 2-3 years but i always buy a phone that i "could" use for that long ...after all i am spending heck lot of money on it recently i had the option to buy a note 5 or 4...i went for note 4 because of 1)REMOVEABLE BATTERY it does not have a built in expiry date like note 5 or galaxy s6...and its not easy to replace the battery on these phones 2) SD CARD i suggest you go for a NOTE 4 its called Android King for a reason !
