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.

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

Hey guys, you might have seen my grumpy threads lately. I have a Note 3 that I really like but it has come o my knowledge that the camera on this thing is horrendous at low light. I have tried playing around with settings and while there are sligth improvements, I cant say I am fully satisfied
I was wondering for those of y'all hthat have had a Note 2 (I never did), is the camera better and worth it enough to return the Note 3 and get a 2 off of eBay. With all the new features of the Note 3, does it outweigh the features of the Note 2.
Buying a 2 off of eBay would mean having unlocked AT&T one cause I've heard the Tmobile Note 2s earlier batch have no LTE ...using an AT&T Note 2 on a T mob network might mean no 4.3 updates for me?
What does the Note 3 have going for it that make it despite the camera a better phone than the Note 2 and would y'all go back to a Note 2 despite camera?
I'm not too much a power user but I appreciate multitasking and takign NOTES and doodling which is why I splurged on the Note 3. It has made a huge difference in my life already.

The Note 3 is better than Note 2 in every sense possible. CPU, GPU, Camera, Screen, RAM, Sensors, S-Pen, design, some might argue battery. But personally, I just up to 9hrs screen on time. So I'll add battery to the list too. Bottom line, DO NOT go back to Note 2. If you want a low light performer, htc one is the way to go. Cheers.

I returned the Note 3 and I am trying the Note 2. Gonna experiment heavily for the next couple of days and if I don't see a big difference then it's back to Note 3. I'm already missing the native Action Memo and improved S pen.
I don't agree on the camera part yet. And it has to be a Note device because I cannot go back to using a bunch of paper for notes. I'm too disorganized for that
@stanley08
I agree with everything you said except for the camera and design.
Camera
More megapixels doesn't make a camera better. And if your priorities are low light, more MP can actually be a bad thing. I haven't been too thrilled with the camera on my note 3, but I think my expectations have become a little high. So if I was solely going for a good camera, I wouldn't choose the note 3 over the note 2.
Design
I definitely think the note 3's design looks a lot better than than the note 2's! no contest for me.
But as far as usability goes I think I'll give the nod to the note 2. The bigger bezels, the rounded corners and pebble shape all felt more comfortable in the hand than the note 3's sexier shape with thinner bezels.
@edo101
I myself was in a similar position albeit before I upgraded from my ancient 3gs.?
I had the note 2 in my sights for a while and by the time I'd saved the cash needed, the note 3 was out. Luckily I had the cash for either but didn't want to buy the note 3 just because it was the latest and greatest.
It was the look that tipped the scales for me(quite ironic, considering what I wrote above), the IR blaster, Air Command (this has been ported over, if you do get a note 2, search for: note 3 apps for note 2 thread) and scrapbooker(which I thought I'd use all the time to bookmark things of interest. But I still just take screen shots lol).
My Reasons to keep the Note 3 would be; The screen, IR Blaster, Battery Life, more guts (better internals), 4G & newer OS and more future support from Samsung (which might not necessarily be a good thing).

I needed to update my post. I am trying the Note 2. I really shoudl go and buy the note 3 from that store since i can afford to and try both simultaneously. I don't know why and i didn't expect it but the Note 3 camera has really turned me off. In the past I have never had to worry about having steady hands and constantly fidgeting with settings to get a decent indoor shot.
I do like the UI of Note 3 but I can already tell the Note 2 has a better camera. I SINCERELY MISS Air Command so I'm gonna have to look at a way to make it available on my note 2.
Now I bought the ntoe 2 locally for 460 tax included but I'm thinking of returning it if I am satisfied and getting one of off ebay for 350 max save a little money and not feel as bad. (I'd root it and hopefully get the Air command) then wait it out for a better camera on Note 4 I hope. does that sound like a good plan?
Oh and any insight on which version of Note 2 I should get, AT&T or Tmbile version. I am currently on MetroPCS which runs off of TMobile
The Note 2 has 4G LTE, I just miss the Note 3's UI (the screen I can manage lol) and the UI (especially camera UI) and AIR COMMAND
Everyone entitled to his own opinion I guess
But for me Note 3 is generally ALOT better than Note 2. However, I change my phones every 5 to 6 months and would be getting the next best thing soon so I don't really dwell on phones.
It's important to get what works better for u.

I can't do that without contract lol. And Sammy has spoiled me with the pen. Its made life soo much easier for a disorganized mess like me so I am sticking with Note line until someone makes an alternative (hopefully from nexus line for obvious reasons).
But man the Note 3 as perfect (especially that lovely pen and screen) but that friggin camera man.
I had the note 2 and found the camera better. But I also found the battety life and wifi better on my note 2.plus I get random reboots on note 3 .

The only thing in note 2 camera that i like, is the capture field, is more wider. The note 3 camera is more narrow, so to capture more field in note 3 you need to step back more than note 2.

I guess I know the reason(but not exactly sure) why note3 got weird slow camera behaviour because the same problem actually appeared on gs4 as well. I've PMed you and asked for some questions, please check it out.
I had the note 2 and now I have the note 3. I miss the fireworks and night mode. At nightime the note 2 was way better in my opinion. Plus on note 3 less battery life and loads more crapware. And poor wifi.

I had the note 2 before, and I have to say that the 2 typical hardware problems remained:
Camera is crap on low light
low wifi and hsdpa signal
I think thats really sad on a phone like that.... if i want to make pictures at a party with barely light, i sometimes wish my old iphone 4 back with iOS you can't do so much, but the things you can do, you can do in perfection.... who needs 12MP on a blurry picture?
it's really not that difficult to look for a camera modul that is appropriate to a 800$ phone, instead of developing more and more additional funtions that no one uses until it's a complete sw-chaos
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.

Also the Edge has a smaller 3,000mah battery.
Just curious, I might trade in my S5 for a Note 4 around Christmas break when highschool finishes for me, yay.
I'm probably willing to only pay 100 to 150 extra + trade in for the device though.
What are you guys' reasons for moving to the Note 4 or not moving to the Note 4?
I honestly don't like the Samsung s series I've been a huge fan of note series.
Only phone I don't own was note 3 currently own note2 I am for sure upgrading to note 4 no doubt about it.
Reasons would be obvious currently I own note 2
It has got a better hardware
16mp OIS which I was looking forward for I wanted the Samsung guys to upgrade the can which they did this time I am happy I wanted a more better but satisfied with this .
Spen improved a lot multi tasking which I am a huge fan of on note series.
Apart from this its less gimiciky and more productive as compared to s5

I am moving from S5 to Note 4, bigger screen, better battery, hopefully better performance am not totally happy with my s5s performance.
I'm thinking of making the move as well, mostly for the OIS camera and larger screen. Hoping for a dual sim version though....
Definitely going back to Note series, never S again.
I went from note3 to the S5, felt like a downgrade, biggest mistake :/
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

the thing is i always use the phone for at least 18 months...so if i get an S6 or NOTE 4 there will be no going back for me....but from what i know you can use the device for two weeks then return it and get something else...so i am planning to get the S6 first...then in two weeks period i can change it to NOTE 4 if i feel that the screen is small....obviously the NOTE 5 will have the best of both worlds...but its coming only after 6-7 months...and thats a long time

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.

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.

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 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...

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
