Better camera(quality and details of the picture): Nexus 4 vs galaxy s1 (i9000), n4 vs s3, n4 vs note 2 (can you rate each 1 to 10 10 as highest quality and detail of picture)
SCreen/display: Nexus 4 vs note 2's display? (which is sharper and which is pleasing to use for games and videos?)

Note 3 vs Note 4 Display

Yes, I know my Note 3 is 1080p and the Note 4 is QHD.
However, I went to Best Buy today and placed my Note 3 side by side with the Note 4, I had a very hard time seeing difference.
I was expecting to be blown away by the QHD like when I compared side by side with Note 2 (720p) and Note 3.
Anyone have similar experience?
Is beyond 1080p not discernable?

I guess it depends. I can still see pixels on a 1080p screen on my S5. I couldn't on the Note 4.

did you try the sample movies on the note 4? thats the money right there. 4k video to show off the screen. the home screens are very pretty, but you'll definitely notice the difference watching a movie in 4k

It doesn't have much difference as far as i think it can be only judge by viewing HD videos on both phones..

They claim that Samsung achieved an outstanding color balance on Note 4 as opposed to any other phone they had out there. QHD vs HD is somwhat of a gimmick in my book though.

That is exactly when I see too. I do not see any difference in that small screen. I see a big difference on a 720p vs 1 080p on my 120" wall painted screen. I cant wait for 4K projector with real 4k content on my big screen.

This may be irrelevant but i got a question. I use to have the note 3 and now on g3...when I went to compare screen with note 4, the colors looked like they were BLEEDING out. Do you get that sense between the note 3 and the note 4? I'm assuming my eyes are now use to the screen of the g3 that the saturation of the samsung devices pop out more than they actually do.

I could see a difference in crispness or sharpness of images. I was impressed.

Screen on the Note 4 is a lot more vibrant and accurate. There's no oversharpening like on the G3.

I was pleasantly surprised with the N4 display compared to the three. Seemed brighter and crisper. I was surprisingly not impressed with the LG G3 screen. I though the brightness was down.

G3's screen isn't much good plus it suffers from oversharpening

I've been playing with google cardboard lately on my Note 3, and using the VR headest kindof magnifies the pixels, and the resolution at even the Note 3's 1080P actually looks pretty bad (Its blocky, and the pen-tile screen becomes visible, reds look awful.). The extra PPI on the Note 4 should help with that. Something to think about if you are going to try out VR on your phone. Occulus Rift is using a Note 4 screen for their DK2 for these very reasons.

DK2 uses the note 3 screen actually. I have one. After playing it you get used to It unless you read tiny text which can happen in a game like elite dangerous. Still the experience is awesome on the note 3 screen and I bet the note 4 screen will be pretty good as well

Oh my bad, you are absolutely right, I meant the new prototype occulus connect.
See the keynote here, John Carmack talks a LOT about how good the Note 4 screen is during this keynote and also the future of samsung displays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqzpAbK9qFk

Its Time to Sell Your Note 5

mate, How About Camera video Recording?
I watched lot of videos on youtube and sound like S7 edge with 12 Megapixel is better than Note with 16 megapixel? What do you think?
For me Camera is most imported.

Don't use camera recording so don't know but every day use not worth s7 edge

My wife has the S7 edge and I have the note 5. The S7 edge camera is definitely better but not by miles. I will say the Note 5 is much smoother. When messing with the wife's phone it has an occasional hiccup. I never get hiccups on the Note 5.

I like Note 5 features Like S Pen, i'm thinking about Replacing Note 5 Camera Lens with S7 Edge.

This is only under low light-levels that this advantage is evident. I still prefer the Note5 for daily use

MP make no difference in quality and probably virtually impossible to replace the actual lens let alone swap it with an s7 lens plus alot more than a lens goes into quality. You can put a $10k lens on a $100 camera but doesn't mean you're gonna have $10k quality pics lol

I have both s-series and note-series phones i.e.S6 edge+, s7 edge and note 4-5..But as per my personal experience note series rocks over s-series...m using note 5 as my daily driver with nought port rom which is running buttery smooth than official nougat of s7edge...Battery life is bit less but compared to differences i.e.note5 with 3000mAh and s7edge with 3600mAh we can't just compare both phones straight enough but getting 4hrs of SOT which is enough for me..:laugh:

He is saying about the News flashes on sammobile and gsmarena about samsung is going to sell refurbished Note 7 with bit decreased battery size for safety purpose..But samsung haven't officially confirmed the news so it might be in rumours mill..You can check those forums for more information about Refurbished Note 7..

the Note 7 is discontinued anything being sold under that name now is a refurb of the original model with a different battery. The Note 8 as of right now is an unconfirmed rumor (if anyone can confirm it please I would love a new model as I do love the note series of phones) what is being released in April is the S8

Camera issues /better camera than a Galaxy Note 4?

I have changed my mind so many times between s8+ and OP5. I was set on s8+ but then read they break very easily which is a big no no for me as i do drop my phone a lot and have 2 young children who will get hold of it and drop it. 2 obvious issues with the OP5 are the jello screen and bad camera. Those who have it is the camera really that bad? and is it better than a Note 4 camera which i currently have.

i don't think it is , and plus it will get better with Updates all along ...

Google Pixel 4 vs Google Pixel 5

Have any of you gone from the GP4 to the GP5? If so, do you like it better? I miss the finger print unlock on my GP2XL

I have moved from 4 to 5. A couple of days later I have go back to 4. Because of gaming and camera. 4 have a lot better overall performance especially for gaming and in camera zooming.
