Note 4 or Note Edge - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
Just wanted to know which one of the Note's you will desire to buy?
I personally like Note Edge. But what's up to you guys. Let's Discuss here.

Note edge for me.
Sent from Galaxy Note 3 (The beauty & beast)

Note edge is something special. So cute.

note edge is a gimmick without real use that will be dropped in upgrades faster than htc desire.
note 4 is not a worthy upgrade, so note 5 or maybe next curved LG if they finally do it right

As the owner of Samsung Galaxy Note 2 I will buy..... Note 3. No need to rush and buy Note 4 which will be very pricey. If we compare Note 3 with Note 4 we have the same battery, the same amount of RAM and internal storage. For those who are confused between Note 4 and Note Edge I would suggest Note 4.

I need to see more video on the note 4 and note edge to make a decision. I may just by the LG G3 and wait till next year note 5

I'm very curious about the note edge... but I'm kinda worried about the extra width of the device, the Note 3 is already pushing it for me being able to fit into my pocket... an extra 4mm of width might not work for me. I'm excited the note 4 is a bit less wide than the note 3, although a tiny bit thicker as that might be perfect for me.
I really like the idea of the edge though... I just wish it wasn't at the expense of form factor, heck I'd even compromise a slightly smaller main screen
the note 4 is 5.7 inches, and the note edge is 5.6, but you get some more pixels with the edge 2560x1600 vs 2560x1440.
I'd really like to see the devices side by side to really know if I'd want it.
If the note edge comes out later than the note 4, i probably won't be able to wait

I'm tempted to buy the Edge just so my iPhone co-workers can drool..but then again the Note 4 would be more practical for me. Oh and that metal frame is so so sexaaayy. Note 4 for me.

This resumed perfectly my feelings. The Note 4 does not seem worthy at all!! But the Note Edge as a "gimmick" might entertain me until the next best thing... I had a Note 2, then a Note 3 from Day 1 release, and I am sooo bored i need something new and innovative! I guess I will keep on waiting for the next AOSP device.

Note 4

Im really curious how the note edge performs in drop tests and scratches in the pocket without flip cover.
Also the notifications that are displayed in the edge works better for me because it wont interrupt me while im fighting in jungle heat and therefore ill not lose the battle.
Note 4 specs > note edge .. just for the specs I think I will go for the note 4 no matter how badly I want something different

I have an Galaxy 3 and I am out of contract. Never had experience with Note series before! Would Note 4 be a good upgrade for me? I need 5.5" or above.

Of the two, the Note Edge has my greater interest. However, as a current HTC One owner, speaker quality is important and I don't believe either device step up to that mark.

Note 4 should have been called note 3s...not much innovation there.
Other than processor, camera and 64 GB int storage same thing.. Right down to the ugly leather look battery cover.
Same size screen and the device is wider and taller? Going backwards there.
Edge is much more interesting to me for sure.

What's the difference between Note 4 and Note Edge?
I thought the only difference is the Screen with edge feature. Is there anything else that makes Note 4 better than Note Edge?

Nor really better unless you want to play VR game.
The edge has that gimmick/innovation screen with a bit more pixel.
decision will be based on if I wanna show off or playing VR. [emoji8]

Note Edge uses plastic for the bezel according to videos online.
Edit: this may be rumor mongering...I saw MKBHDs video and he said metal also. Now im confused.

Any Note users rather wait to see Note 3

Looks good but Personally I would wait to see the Note 3 before spending the bundle they will want for this device out the gate. Then if the Note 3 disappoints, the S4 will be less expensive and development will be in full swing. Then again the Note 3 will have any glitches corrected as well. and possibly the flexible screen
It looks good, but not good enough to remove me from my note 2. I dont see myself using any of the features they advertised. In a way I'm glad because my wallet has been spared, at least till the note 3 comes out.
I would rather wait for the Note 3 also. By then hopefully we will get the pholed screen and better processor

I don't think the Note 3 will have that flexible screen as they recently said they may go to LCDS.
I personally rather have a Note 2 over the s4.

Note 2 over S4 anytime even if my eyes are closed ......dying to see what note 3 has got in it ..
$ PLZ HIT THANKS BUTTON ....IF HELPED U ANYHOW $
next phone will be a note 3, closer to 6 inch the better.

yh that is my biggest fear regarding the note 3. I simply cannot have the phone any bigger than the note 2
The note 2 has got me spoiled when it comes to screen size.
i wouldnt want to loose .5 on a screen.
I'd rather wait for the note 3. and i wouldnt mind it being a little bigger, as long as its pocketable lol
yes i have the GT-N7000 and i saw the note 2 and its amazing ,, but the release of the s4 yesterday its like ummm;.. its amazing yes but i thing the galaxy note 3 will have alot more features than this ,, i read it could have more powerful CPU than the s4 with 3 GB RAM and a new S-Pen and android key lime pie 5
so yeah here is features ,, im waiting for it
unless i get a note 2 as a gift lol
It's kind of surprising how many people that bought the Note(s) don't use S Pen and S Note. I guess they bought it for the larger/better display. For those that use S Pen/S Note heavilly (I'm one of them) giving them up for the SGS4 just because it's "shinier" is a non-starter. The N3 should be out by the fall and have even more features than the SGS4 and SGS4 owners can help Samsung troubleshoot some of the new features being introduced. Hopefully some of the non-h/w dependent features of the SGS4 will trickle down to the N2 in the meantime. I'd love to have S Voice Drive.
Note 3 over galaxy s4
i have a upgrade comming so ill try the s4..... but doubt it will trump my note2 !
Definitely N3
I had a galaxy S2 and when the s3 came out I chose the Note 1. I do not regret this and having seen the S4, which I think is quite a good phone, I will definitely wait. Because I will get all the benefits of he tech that went into S4 with a bigger screen and S-pen (both of which I love tremendously). I am actually quite excited about N3, especially as I will be going from N1. I am really surprised that no one is challenging Samsung with a Stylus phablet.
When the note 2 came out. It had a lot more features than the s3. Now the s4 is out does it means that note 3 will be a lot better phone? I have the s3. Which i had the note 2
Tried walking around with the note 2 in my pocket.. I am way too skinny, felt like a football pad haha. It is pretty, if i was a bigger dude, I would get one.
If S4 battery, screen are much better than Note 2, I will buy it at the first day. If not I will wait for Note 3.

Flexible screen won't come in a million years.
I'm in favour of the Note 2 design. If they bring that disgusting carbon-fiber-ish design on Note 3, it's a deal breaker.
I had a Galaxy S3, as did my wife. We both have note 2's now (didn't loose money on the switch here so its all good) I really like my note 2 but sadly I don't seem to use the S-Pen and related features as much and neither does she. I guess we've been around android phones that never had those features to fully get used to it. I might be getting the S4 for her and getting rid of her Note 2 as at times I heard her say that she likes the S3 better. I think size does play a role here.
As for myself, unless I find better use of its features I will either switch to the S4 (also depends on development), or wait and see what phones come out. Either way, I'm planning on keeping one of the Note 2's around just incase i want to switch back.
Here I am. the Galaxy S4 just like a mini Note2. Eeeee I donnot feel like changing for it as Note 3 may be better

Note 2 to S4 or no...??

I have the opportunity to upgrade to the S4 and preorder on Verizon tomorrow. Not sure if I should. I know the Note 3 will be out in 8 months or so and have the 8 core processor and be the new flagship phone. I kinda feel lije I want something new right now though. Need someone to sway me....Help!
It comes down to new flagship device now, or new flagship device later. Obviously if you wait, you'll have the Note 3 which will almost assuredly be a better Galaxy S4. On the other hand, shortly after that, the Galaxy S5 or whatever will be out and you'll have a superior device to the Note 3. Really it comes down to if you upgrade multiple times a year, if you don't mind waiting for something better and using that, or if you just want to get the best you can when it arrives and stick with it for awhile.
All S4 features will come to Note 2 eventually (all but IR Blaster).
I would wait for Note 3 or even Note 4. I'm taking the aproach to buy once every 2 Galaxy devices.
My first was an S2 and I'll be getting the S4 soon, then the S6 and so on.
If you like the Note flagship I would advise you to stick with it and do the same.
Unless you have money to spare and like to have the latest flagship always. That's up to you.
only reason i didn't get the note 2 was resolution, but i would rather have the smaller 5 inch 1080 screen than 720 on a rather larger phone.

I bet you're right. I have an S3 that I gave up for the Note 2 and when I grab the S3 it feels so small. I realize you really can't replace a Note with anything but a Note. Now that the Mega devices are certain, it's safe to say the Note 3 will remain 5.5" since 5.8 and 6.3 is Mega. I was afraid when N3 talk was bigger. If the S4 features makes its way to N2, I would/could be content. I really dont care about IR Blaster...I use harmony remotes.
Thank you guys
S4 is what I will recommend you. I know you may want to probably wait for note 3 but again you won't have that great resolution of which the critics are talking about. Check out the reviews everywhere.. They are calling it the supernova... If you wait for another 8 months then again you will think that I should wait for S5 which will be due in next 4 months from then.. Don't think too much. Go for s4 and you shall never regret it

The Note 3 will most likely have the same 1080p screen as the S4.
I hope they do what they did with the Note 3 that they did with the S4 in that the screen is improved and larger but the physical size of the phone does not increase. They just reduce the bezel area to get a larger screen size in the same or slightly smaller physical body. I would imagine that other physical improvements will be made with the Note 3 that will only improve the experience. S4 looks awesome but if they take what they have done with the S4 and incorporate it into the Note 3 it really will be the phone to have. Just my thoughts and why I'll be passing on the S4 and staying with the Note 2 until something dramatically better comes out.
Lots of fingers are pointing to the note 3 going 6+ inches. Seems to be getting a bit out of control at that point.

I would say no. I think overall the S4 is slightly better but its definitely not worth the extra money from a note 2, a device that is absolutely phenomenal.

S4 is an upgrade to S3, not the Note II. Note line targets power users who need more screen real estate and battery juice, unlike S4. I didn't go for a Note 2 based on its processor etc. alone, but the whole package. So for me, going for an S4 (or HTC One) is actually a downgrade, personally.
PS, interesting comparison here, despite not being the most objective:

I recently had to decided this too I think note 2 will be too big for practical use, s4 is a nice happy medium in my opinion

Old thread back again, anyway. I have used all the galaxy series, currently I have note 2 which is more than enough for me. Still I will upgrade because of my dirty habit of upgrading the gadgets. I will have problems in adjusting hands 5.5 to 5 inches, but I will get used to it. S4 is good enough to play for next 6 months until note 3 arrives. I am in bit of confusion for note 3. For me 5.5 inch is just more than enough, but 6 inch or 6.3 inch is a deal breaker for me. It will be too big.

Would you say note 2 is too big for every day use e.g commuting one hand use ? Would be great to have ur opinion having used both 5inch and 5.5
Sent from my XT890 using xda app-developers app
obviously note 2 is not great for one handed use. You could theoretically use it with the one handed mode, but it is struggle, especially when you switch between small and large keyboard layouts. It's a fair trade-off for me though, pros by far outweigh the cons, and you get used to the screen fast.

I won't say its toooo big, but yeah its big. Good that I have big hands too, it only sometimes gets irritating but most of the time, its fine, manageable in hands and pocket. For me its the limit, above that would not be a wise decision.
Most of the new gimmicks Sammy have put together for s4 will eventually make its way to note 2. Some leaks about flagship devices of other oems coming in q3 points to s4 getting outdated sooner than one thinks so I'd recommend to wait for note 3

I thought the Note 2 was big until I started using it. It took some time to get used to one-handed use, but it comes. I have small hands. There are some things that require to use two hands where it would be one on most phones. For instance, when I am checking email. If I am in a message and wanna go back to inbox. The back arrow is small in the top left corner. My thumb just wont make it. That's the one I constantly struggle with. Other than that, I love the N2 size. I will never go any bigger. Not even in the slightest.
I know this is an old thread, came across is in Google. But let me chime in here, I am in the same boat, I have the Note 2 but I also have an iPad Mini. I am thinking, do I need a tablet and a phablet?

Note 3 or wiat for S5?

Hello i was wonderig if i should jump in and get the note 3 which would be my first note device or wait for the S5. As of now i have a S4, and well spec wise the note 3 and S4 is pretty close. Input would be great thanks in advanced.

I said the same thing when the s4 came out and just decided to wait for the Note 3.
I had the Note 2 and the s4 was just too small for my liking. Cant go back to "small" screens.
s5 will more than likely have more/better features than Note 3 (no s-pen or those features though) but if you're going to wait for the s5, why note wait a couple months and get the Note 4?
Its all down to preference and what'd you'd like out of your phone.
Do you want a note size device or S sized device? I can't see them making the S much bigger or it could canabilize Note sales. Also specs will be better on the S5.
I think you'll always be waiting.. because when the S5 come out the Note 4 will be around the corner and whatever else HTC or LG device that might come out
If size isn't a issue you have no problem get the Note 3..The s5 won't come out in January if you listening to that rumor
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk now Free
There is always something better right around the corner. Larger screen and device or smaller screen and device? That should answer your question.
Honestly, The Note 3 is damn near everything you Could want. It's excellent, I'd get it. It'll still be great this time next year.
sEnt from thE noTe 3
Every time you wait, there will always be something newer/better on the horizon. The St will not have the S-pen so if you want that you need something from the Note line... but as long as you're waiting, I'm sure there will be a Note 4 next year.

NOTE 4 VS S6....again

hey guys, i have a question, i am planning to get a new phone, the only real choices are the galaxy S6 and NOTE 4, i have a galaxy S4 right now, i like the S6 a lot, but i prefer something with a bigger screen and battery, the NOTE 4 on the other hand is cool too, but, it has the old TW, which i am already bored of, so the question is, will the NOTE 4 get the refreshed TW from the S6 soon or is it only after the NOTE 5 is released?? and what do you recommend?? THANKS
I think Note 4 will get Note 5 tw probably next year.Both phones fall in different category.You have to set your own priorities.Processor & gpu wise S6.Screen,Battery & S pen for Note 4

the thing is, because i am using an S4 right now the S6 doesnt feel much of an upgrade in terms of screen size, the NOTE 4 on the other hand feels really something special with that big screen....its a really tough one...in terms of performance the S6 has the edge but still its not that of a difference...basically the only reason to get the S6 is the new software....

Hi, I am glad you are looking into buying a new Samsung device! I think you should purchase the Galaxy S6. I own both devices, however the Galaxy S6 is simply just better. Even with a smaller battery pack, I was able to squeeze out 3-4 hrs more compared to the Galaxy Note 4. I used it to play some games, browse the web, and basic call functions. The S6 runs way faster compared to the Note 4 (device restart time, application launch time and application switching time). One last thing, S6 runs noticeably cooler than the Note 4 as well.
To answer your question, Samsung flagship devices will receive one TW version newer than the one that was released when the device was announced.

i do prefer bigger screen, but at the same time the S6 is faster in the day to day tasks, almost no lag, the problem with samsung phones is the updates, the NOTE 4 will get the S6 new ui next year, and lollipop for the NOTE 4 is not staple enough from what i heard, so its better to have something already optimized with lollipop unlike the NOTE 4....so if i get the NOTE 4 i will be stuck with KK for a while...and again its ui is not as fast/smooth as the S6....i have to make a sacrifice...

yes you can't have everything, but I guess you already know what you want to get... just enjoy it, and I know you want to upgrade after a few months when Note 5 or S7 arrives. Just like myself, look at my signature... I only had my S4 a few months back, and I bought a Note 3, then now a Note 4

I always die a little bit inside when I hear people moaning about performance. S6 is faster, yeah theoretically it is.. but practically it isn't. The software on the S6 is optimized better than the Note 4 lollipop update(Its just ****). And another thing is, multitasking works way better on a bigger screen than the S6. But its your choice. I think you're choosing wrong if you're going to judge on software.

the optimizations are the reason the S6 is faster...thats the trouble with samsung...once the phone is released they do not optimize the software for it...my S4 with lollipop is ****...lags..hangs...thats the trouble...the NOTE 4 will have the same issue...about the multitasking...i dont care that much...the only plus with the note 4 screen is the size...easier to read and better for watching movies....
No lag here on the Note 4

I was interested in the S6 but when I found out no microSD .... it was out of the picture.
I got the Note 4 on 4.4.4 and I have yet to see any lag .... if you think the Note 4 lags you must be very picky indeed.

believe me i am not the one that discovered the word "lag", many people said it lags, lets ignore the lag thing, i wanna ask you, do you prefer to have the latest and greatest UI or stick with the old one? the hall thing is, i have a galaxy S4 right now, and i have a rom that ported from the NOTE 4, so if i get the NOTE 4 i wont have the feeling of something new in terms of UI....the new TW on the S6 looks better than every other TW...its more refind, smooth animations...if you dont call it lag then you call it delay instead...its the same thing
Have u played with the S'Pen ? Did u like it? or was it just a novelty thing? If u really enjoyed using it, i think u should get the Note 4. the S6 screen is 5" approx. The Note4 is not far from 6". And true, the S6 is a beast to run, but it has to cuz its got the latest n greatest in it, tho u'll be paying a premium for it. Unlike the Note4, its a beast still, just a Yr behind the S6. Why not get the cheaper Note4, with its huge screen, then wait for the Note5? By then it will be King Phablet and be running true 64bit Lollipop optimized to the maxxx hehe. Naw, either is good

S6 edge vs note 4

Hi guys
My father bought an galaxy s6 edge and told me that if I wanted to have it he would change it with my note 4,I don't know what to do is the change worth it or should I keep my phone ?
My phone is rooted I won't root the s6 edge
If you are having to ask then my 1st assumption is that you do not have any use for the larger screen and SPen? So I would say yes, go ahead and swap

Not really both phone have there pros and cons the I'm not using the s-pen that much but I love the screen because I watch all my series and movies from my phone. I will probably keep my phone but another question performance is not that much different with both phones or?

A friend of mine has a S6 Edge, and it is a bit faster than the Note 4, but not by much.
Its certainly not enough to swap. His Note 4 was stolen at gunpoint during an attempted carjacking. He got the S6 Edge to try out while waiting for the Note5, but he is hating the S6 Edge battery life, he says it is rubbish compare to what his Note 4 could achieve.
Is your Note 4 lagging? If so, maybe try do a hard reset, see how you feel after that then decide.
IMO, the Note 4 is a far better allround device than the S6 Edge.

S6 is way faster to open apps and smoothness seems to be better. I suppose game will be a lot better on S6.
On the other side, S6 has a RAM managment problem and apps in background are killed agressively by the system. Battery life is also far better on the Note 4.

Thanks for both of your answers I will probably stick with my note 4. It is not laggy I'm really satisfied with it's performance. One last question it is not an important aspect for me only asking out of curiosity the camera of the s6 edge is a little bit better then the note 4 right?

Yep. Camera in the S6 Edge is a step better than the Note 4, although they both use the same IMX240 Sensor.

Night shot will be significantly better on S6 but in good light both are comparable.
Note that camera software is better on S6 with RAW support and more manual control.
