I got a note 4 a few weeks ago played with it and realized it wasnt much of a upgrade from the note 3 so i decided to go with the nexus 6..... DUDE!!! the nexus 6 is a beast!!! granted the note 4 has the bells and whistles its still a very sluggish phone while the nexus 6 is snappy as ****.... videos phone calls internet!!! DAMN!!! look i love samsung but note 3 note 4 isnt much of an upgrade considering the price.... Touchwiz sucks period.. I personally hate it... If your on the fence... GET this device!!! it wont disappoint!!!!!!! Ive been with samsung since 09..... do yourself a favor and get it...
Cool story.
Plan to ASAP!
I have both and it's still a tough decision for me.
I have the Note 3 and played with a Note 4 in the store and came to the same conclusion without having to buy it..... It's a side-grade at best.
did you really have to create a thread for this
Sent from Mars
I'm going to have to disagree about the Note 4 being sluggish. I feel my wife's note 4 is just as fast and smooth (or smoother in some cases) than my Nexus 6. I'd still never get one but I think it is a good phone.
Yup. I'm totally enjoying my Nexus 6.
I have both yet, and I feel guilty for keeping them both, but I have been using the Nexus 6 more than the Note 4. Lollipop is probably the reason...

What are you doing with Lollipop that you can't do on TouchWiz?
Also why do we have another Nexus 6 Galaxy Note 4 thread? Also the OP basically said he doesn't own the Note 4 he just "played with it"

I would give the note a serious look but I am too married to the on-screen nav buttons. I'm left handed and I prefer the back button on the left. I think I would like the note but I would hate actually using.

I also don't like touchwiz but that isn't a good enough excuse. It's easy for a stock Samsung phone to have a totally different look and feel. And this is XDA , touch wiz can be fixed.

That's the other nice thing about the on screen buttons. They are customizable. You can't move the buttons or customize them on a Note

He was just asking who here plans on purchasing the Note 2 and, although there isn't much point to it, there isn't any need to get offensive. But, back on topic, I will most definitely not be purchasing the Note 2 (regardless of how much of an improvement it is) as I am on 2-year contract that won't allow me to get an upgraded device for another year at least. Besides, the Note does everything I've wanted in a phone, so what point is there in replacing it? As long as I get Jelly Bean, which this device should be getting, I am happy!
I skipped galaxy s 3 for note 2. So I ll be one of the early sparrow.
But somehow I feel like getting my hands on xiaomi phone 2. Its half the price compared to note 2 or S 3.but not available here. So my choice note 2

There was no official release yet about the actual spec of note 2. I could'nt decide..
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
I'm not buying the note 2 purely because its a waste of cash to upgrade after a year to something slightly better, which I will make no use of...for example, why would I want a quad core phone when my Note runs perfectly fine at 1GHz playing games etc? The battery is a different issue though, I would like the slightly bigger screen size but it won't be that much bigger.
Finally...I won't be buying a Note 2 because there is nothing new in terms of a 'feel good about' factor, just a faster processor and bigger screen will only make me smile for a week or so and then die away ...then what?

Maybe...I'm not sure. I'm trying to sell my current note as of now. Was thinking about picking up a galaxy nexus to be honest.
I don't know. My note is on eBay for now awaiting a good price...lol.
Haven't even decided if I will sell it for real. I guess time will tell.

Or find something better to do with my money for a start.....
i know i should wait, and keep my Galaxy Note for atleast 1 more year. My boss, my wife and everybody that i know think i should wait...!

Anyway now that I don't own a Note I don't think I even should be here in this forum anymore.
Good and better luck to you all.
I'll do what i always do....buy the first used ones showing up....after reading about the early adopters disappointments.
Then use my current phone as a backup and guinea pig for interesting ROMS I normally won't try
I already sold my N7000

How is your poll of different tablets relevant to your question? And judging my your question, I would assume you're either a troll or a retard.
Nokia Lumia for you!
Nexus 4 though, on the cool.
Dude... Are you serious!? No need to be freakin specific, you shouldnt even have asked that question in first place...
If you would have said iPhone 5 or Nexus 4 then I maybe would have thought about it. But iPhone 4S vs Nexus 4...
Of course the Nexus 4. Why? It has a lot better SoC, better screen (the screen on iPhone 4S is TINY) and so on.

iPhone 4s for sure! There's no comparison. Just the fact that you can customize the crap out of it should be reason enough. Not to mention the massive amounts of RAM, the mind numbingly awesometastic screen. Oh and the multitasking! You would be a fool to even consider the N4

You are asking a question in a very biased community, just about everyone here is an android user. this is a development community and iPhone development is a joke. That being said, go with the nexus 4, it is a better deal, and has better specs.

Looks like its you who needs to use iOS for some more time :silly: Ever tried opening a few tabs in safari, leaving the app for a while and coming back to it again? Its so frustrating to see all the tabs reload all over again!! And thats just one example. Use a wallpaper like typo clock (I think its called something like that). It updates after a few seconds of waking the device. Kinda pointless of having it as a wallpaper in that case IMO.
Just because iOS is better coded, doesn't mean 'RAM does not matter'. Every OS needs RAM to perform optimally. As they say, 'you can never have enough RAM'

I don't know why people keep saying this. Many of us here have had/ still have both iOS and Android devices. Heck, many (including me) have even had WP7/7.5 devices for some time. Just because we are on Android forums, doesn't mean we aren't on MacRumors or WPCentral. Yeah, some do talk through their asses about OSes they have never used, but some also give informed opinions. The final choice, of course, is OP's to make

Well, actually you DID
So you use it PLENTY and have never opened more than 2 tabs at once
RAM was one among the few examples I pointed out to show that the iPhone 4s is inferior to the N4. Now had the OP asked about the iP5, i would have told him it is a graphical powerhouse. And that the choice between the two would be tough. But you can't say a phone that has 512MB ram compared to the one that has 2gigs isn't a disadvantage. Even apart from the RAM, the 4s in hardware wise inferior to the N4 (which is to be expected coz its a year old phone after all).
As for the software, well, thats personal opinion territory right there

with a link to the Premium Suite video and that's it.

Honestly? Look - I'm not a big Samsung fan - they definitely have some seriously wonky business practices - moreso since I'm in Canada and they can't get their act together up here and decide if we're their favourite country or we're just a joke... and no one carries accessories for their products up here anyway - but here's the thing...
I own a ton of Samsung computer products because as much as it annoys me these two facts keep drawing me back...
1. They may be annoying - but the only real alternative left is Apple.
2. They are the ONLY company that makes damn near *exactly* what I want. Apple doesn't. Asus gets close - but then keeps blowing it. Microsoft.. please. Acer - how is life in 2008?
Samsung is the new Sony. They're Apple with a sense of weirdness that makes their products interesting instead of always being about fash and status.
So, like I said elsewhere - I may not like them much - but there really isn't anything better to jump to.
" Microsoft.. please. Acer - how is life in 2008?"
Very funny!
All true, and exactly how I feel re: other manufacturers. Others get close, sometimes, but never quite there.
And to the poster who is going to return his Note for a Nexus because JB hasn't arrived yet - go get a life. Borrow one, steal one, heck buy one. Seriously. Get a little perspective.

Lol I don't know why you're acting like they've done something wrong to you. In there announcements they said the Note 10.1 will get Jelly Bean in Q4, So unless it's January 2013 there is no point wasting your time getting frustrated.
If I was you I would look at the Nexus 10 forums first lol, all they are doing is saying maybe we should return it and get a Note 10.1.
I'm seeing a lot of this "the grass looks greener on the other side"
Anyway my Nexus 10 comes next week :fingers-crossed:

I returned my Nexus 10 as I'm happier with the Note 10.1. Also, much happier with the new Note II addition compared to Nexus 10 especially since it has JB to tide me over until it comes to Note 10.1. Once you go Note it's hard to go back to a consumption only tablet.
Seriously, if you want JB that bad, spend an hour and update to the German release and stop whining.

Though I myself will go with a nexus device next time. Better prices and open source drivers so you can run any rom without having battery/performance issue's. (As you maybe know aosp roms on n7100 have ****ty battery life in comparison to a stock Samsung rom. Samsung roms also run games better because of it)

eFUSE has also been used in PS3 and XBOX360 and they couldn't break it.
Unlike the flash counter that Triangle Away resets, this eFuse – assuming that’s what the Knox indicator is actually marking – is a once-and-done deal and should be impossible to revert.

Even ChainFire says it's impossible. When he says something, better to listen to him.

After KNOX crap, I lost my all desire to buy another Samsung again.

ahahahahhahahahahahaha I know but what can we do my friend.. we have to wait until developers come with some rom for us .... be patient era for Note 3 just started
Guys. .. It's just that warranty is void on rooting and flashing roms. .. No triangle away. . That's all. . It doesn't mean there won't be roms or it is the end. .. Just that it is scary to buy an expensive phone and lose warranty...
But if you buy a phone in one country and use it in another country. . You don't have warranty. . Similar

Samsung finished for me. Knox, flash counter check recovery if is original check kernel check root who they think are they? I'll buy 600 euros device the price of a laptop full of advertising and crap spying software why? to don't loose them ads? No not any more.
Also the device i have now has insane chip, i gave 535 euros and anytime is possible to not boot again. Enough with samsung, sony maybe htc or nexus i don't know but sure not Samsung again.

Well people don't root there phones just to install custom roms , root is quite important to some people especially here on XDA , also i didn't really see much difference between my wifes note 3 and my note 2 .
samsung cmpletely redefined the meaning of 'security' with knox - they 'secured' their interests not ours.
what a crafty brain that designed knox ! i salute it :good:
the same key that locks doors also unlocks it ....

What phone is everyone coming from that has decided to move to the S5? I'm on an S3 now and still debating if I want to use my upgrade on this phone or wait and see what the note4 I'd gonna be like or some other phone. Still on the fence here.

I have the S3 also. I'm debating the S5, but at the end of the day I think that I want a phone that's smaller than the note. The S5 doesn't have all of the features that I want (namely the larger internal memory), but I think it will be the best option out there. I'm also on the fence, but not sure I could wait until the note 4 comes along.
I'm on the Moto X, and I have my upgrade June 1. I'm at a toss up between the S5, M8, or waiting to see the X2 or Nexus 6. But I hate waiting...

I'm coming from an M7. I used to love HTC but this phone really upset me. Horrible signal (4G basically doesn't work and a SIM swap didn't help), not-so-good camera, and other slow down issues that really annoy me. I've had every HTC phone on Sprint since the Hero and none have disappointed me as much as this one TBH. I wanted an S4 last time but went M7 instead and now I'm just gonna switch over for the S5. Mine's cracked and a replacement would be $200 so I'd rather spend less and get an S5.
Im on the HTC Evo3D still and looking to upgrade and was looking at the One (M8) But the more I look at the S5 the more I like it. My mom has the S4 and being a bit of an HTC guy, I really like her S4. Plus I like the fact that the S5 looks to have an SD card slot as where the One doesnt. Not sure what to do just yet but in about 3 weeks I will be looking to upgrade to something newer. So far the S5 is in the lead. If it gets root right away, then im all in!

I'm coming from the S2. It has been a great phone, but 3 years is a long time and it's starting to show need of retirement. Can't wait to see this beast.

The m8 actually does have a micro SD card slot up to 128 gb.

Coming from the s3 myself. I was hoping for more competition but I don't see anything else out there as good.
I don't like the sizes getting bigger and think the s3 size is right for me but there just isn't other choices in that range.

I'm sure there will be an S5 mini, or the Moto X is the same size I think.
Just upgraded to the HTC one max and it's pretty nice. There's not much development though. I'm getting the s5 for its waterproof feature and because it looks like the most balanced phone at the moment.

The S2 has been a beast and really stood the test of time I think, but my charging port finally gave out on me 2 weeks ago so i've been forced to make a decision so im jumping ship in hopes that the S5 has the same great community the S2 has had. I just hope i dont end up regretting it, for example locked boot loader keeping us from asop and etc. or maybe i shouldve opted for the note3... hmm.. too late now!
I sure will miss this versatile little phone!

The S3 and S4 are very similar in size and if I recall the S4 might be a bit smaller.
And the biggest thing that is putting me on the fence- Sprint Spark sucks if you depend on using data while on a call. This is kinda a huge deal to me and almost makes the S4 (Non-Triband) a better phone. But at the same time- S5 is kick ass other than that. It has the best battery life of any Android phone due to algorithms. But I may buy a S5 to get Framily plan- I know it sucks but it is something.
