I currently own a HTC One M8 and thinking about going to the note 3. Because I love big screens and a decent camera on a phone, none of which the M8 has.
So I just wanna know how you guys are finding it ?

Ive owned this device for almost 6 months now and I love it more today than yesterday.
Seriously though, the only flaw I see on the note 3 is its camera in low light. Other than that, a simple installation of nova launcher and your note 3 would be as smooth as silk. No other issues whatsoever.
I've used many, many Android phones in my time, and the Note 3 is the best. Bar none.

I'm a big htc fan and thought I'd never jump ship but I did to the 2 and now the 3 which I've had for 5 months. I still love it and would buy it again.

I had the s4 for barely a month and I was going crazy at how awful it felt in my hand. Got a good offer to jump to the note 3 and did so in a heartbeat. Dont regret it even one bit! Although still plastic it feels much better. I used nova launcher mostly and recently rooted and jumped to cm11 and the phone works great! I dont game much, a quick session if im bored or a new fun game comes out, but that lasts for only a day or two. I have noticed a slight battery drop on cm11. Its still in "beta" so im not to worried about that. But on touchwizz it could last a long time on H+ data. Just couldnt stand tw, its so ugly!
I'm coming from S4, and camera here is that much better, escpecially night mod! Love it.. And everything else.. Two sim model rocks.. I think for now dual sim note 3 is the best device you can find on market. So go ahead, buy one, fck htc.. i've had M7, and didn't like it.. liked the look, but not their android and camera for example

Been a nexus fan, used to root devices as soon as I got home from the shop. The Knox flag is a major issue for those of us that like to toy around with different ROMs and tweaks, but the device itself is spectacular. I'm very pleased by the build quality, light and quality materials, very, very, very smooth. 8 days uptime and still devouring everything I throw at it. Battery life is more then decent and the overall experience is a joy. Buy it.

The only weakpoint of the Note 3 is the outdated TW version, hope Sammy will bring the S5 TW to other devices too

Are you a bit obsessed with this S5 TW being brought to Note 3 thing ?
I don't like it at all, the S5 TW.
Just sayin.
And to contribute to the thread... Of course, go for the Note 3. I own it since its launch, and I couldn't tell you nothing bad about it. The screen size and the super amoled are perfect. The camera rules too, a bunch of options. And for me, having the Spen (the reason I bought the phone), it's even more of a joy to use the phone.
I'm running a custom stock kitkat rom, visually changed some things with Wanam xposed and I love it.

Lord no, not obsessed. What i meant more is the bloatware that is included with the Sammy roms. Installing Echo rom as we speak with all the S5 UI looks

Hi All,
I want to buy a grand 2 for my wife. Gone through the phone specs, reviews and prices online. And I found that this is a good phone which can be considered a safe buy phone with decent specs (oppo find 5 mini was good too but its a new phone and cant trust it like I can trust samsung)
I have read couple of user opinions on gsmarena that they are having issues such as heating, 3g not working on both sims, lagging etc etc. So i thought of taking the outputs from the xda fraternity.
Can some of you grand 2 owners tell the pros and cons of this phone if you have used it for long enough?
Thanks in advance for your help.

3G can work only in one SIM card and that is by design and not a fault. No noticeable lags unless you have lots of downloads, No heating issues observed. Camera, Music OK, Best of all, Kitkat coming soon. Using it since march.

Buy a nexus5 which is near the price of grand 2 but grand 2 aint bad. I have this phone and i must say its better as a lady phone. No lags. Battery is very good(improved with an update) and kitkat could be in the doors. People who have lags dont actually know how to use the phone very well, like they dont even know the task manager. Or if they are talking about thr mininal lag of touchwiz then its common on every samsung device that has touchwiz but it doesnt bother that much. And no. There is no heating issue. I even use my phone playing a video with speakers while charging and i get minimal heat

I would have gone for nexus 5 itself but in India, its 30000+ INR whereas I am getting brand new grand 2 in 18200 INR. There is a huge monetory difference here

Damn that much? Go for grand2. Kitkat maybe not that far. Unless samsung screws it up. Moto G is good though and is cheaper..

Moto G was my first choice. but read few user opinions on gsmarena.com that it is having network issues and people couldnt find proper service for it. Also the warranty replacement was an issue.
So thought of going for a safer bet i.e. grand 2.
However oppo find 5 mini was almost on the same range 20000 INR. But cant trust a phone which hasnt been in market for long time.
I never had an issue with my moto g but there are different moto gs out there that isnt well built too. Im lucky i had a good one. Grand2 aint bad as a choice but the lack of custom development is the problem right now unless we get kitkat and some might get working. Anyway its your wifes phone yo grand2 isnt that bad. Its like another note2 without some specific things. I have this with sview cover and its good for women lol

lol. Last i customized my wife's micromax canvas 2 and thanks to the low quality development going on for that phone, it got even more screwed. So if she allows me to touch her phone to make a call, that would be enough :laugh:
Edit: Just checked out the development and original development sections for grand 2. That land is totally barren. :-\
Maybe people are waiting for official kitkat then start. I bought this coz it had potential specs but damn. Check out galaxy mini or ace2, development there is like freaking huge. Here.. Its like the s duos (worst phone i had).. But lets see and wait if kitkat arrives.. Ill give samsung till july and if they wont then last samsung ever.

I own a 2.5 years old s2 and development for it is still going frantically.
My wife was actually happy to hear that there is no development for this phone and I won't tinker with her phone.
Any news about official kk for this one?
N yeah, bought one already. Gotta get the Sims cut to start using it. It's beautiful :thumbup::beer:

Im quite sure we wont getting kitkat this month. There was just an update available recently and its jelly bean. A god damn jelly bean. Im just happy about the leather back and the thinness of the phone and the size. Even if its large i can easily grip my hand on it for calls and text..
Any unofficial kitkat would do for me but official one would be better since i got n5 already and a couple of phones.. I want to spam samsun with our kitkat update now -.-

In my opinion, dont get those xperia devices. The design looks bad, and C is sluggishdont know with m2 i dont have it. S4 mini is good but one thing is that its mini. Moto g is a good phone with good battery and specs but isnt as large as grand 2. As for grand dont but it since it looks ugly and old now compared to grand2. Grand2 has good battery life and has a big screen and kitkat is on final stages. In my opinion, ill choose between moto g(price battery and performance but not size since its arnd 4.5/4.6 inch and software updates are good), grand2(big screen battery performance and has 5.3inches and kitkat is on its way(maybelast update) and bad thing is its touchwiz)

I was also thinking that only that moto g and grand 2 should be the one amongst them to buy but I am still in a confussion
Moto G
Pros :-
1) Direct from google getting the update the same or the second day
2) have amoled screen
3) battry life
cons :-
1) it is not available in shops(in india) we have to buy it from flipkart
2) smaller screen size
3)don't like the stock androind icons and all
Grand 2
Pros :-
1) Screen size
2) Ram (not matters due to touchwiz)
3) Expandable Memmory
Cons :-
1) Samsung is very late in updates
2) Touchwiz is very laggy and SG Grand 2 lags I heard from my friends
Can any one tell the estimated price of moto g and grand 2 by November, 2014 currently it is
Moto G :- 13999
Grand 2 :- 20,999

You got the moto g price right. However I bought grand 2 in 18.2k in Bangalore.
My wife is using it for over 2 weeks and it's really good. The only issue I found was with the dual sim setting. Even if internet is set for sim2, a simple call on sim1 will automatically switch the whole thing to sim1 and then you will have to manually switch it to sim2. Apart from this stupid bug, it's absolute beauty. No other bugs and no lags at all.

I have never seen it lagging. Apart from the bug I mentioned in my previous post I have no complaints with it. It's actually quite awesome for the price I paid for it.
I have been using it for almost 5 months and completely satisfied. There are not noticeable lags, handles any stuff you throw at it. And most importantly, it has awesome battery backup. If I use it only for calling and messaging, than it provides backup of almost 2-3 days which is hard to get these days considering the fact that display uses too much battery.
Switching from the iPhone 6 to zenfone, I had high hopes. Unfortunately the zenfone did not deliver in terms of performance. Too much lag. Bought the s6 edge and returning the zenfone 2 tomorrow. Can you tell me what was in the box? I see an empty slot in there and can't remember what was in it. And on another note, good bye fam!
And you felt the need to make a thread about this?
Good luck with future endeavors. To find what's in the box, feel free to Google an unboxing video.
Zenfone 2 vs Samsung S6, not at all the same price category.
Anyway, the lag when it happens are mostly related to the current version of Android. Such lag exist also on Samsung S5/S6 with Lollipop...
What lag?

i think u r new to samsung ...its one of the most lagging phones it will start to lag within 3-6 months if u r lucky it won't lag for 12-15 months (25-30% chances) my friend has s6 edge it started to lag within 3 mnths...... zf2 is way better in pricing and support for updates...
u r takin a big risk by buying sammy ...... i have used note edge and so far the worst flagship
my opinion is this for sammy
btw , 5.1.1 was on the way u could have waited for a while...
Pfffff, if you think the ZenFone 2 is laggy, then wait until you start using Touchwiz. That is where Lag Central is at.

Don't understand the need some have to troll like this. Don't like the phone and getting another? Fine. No need to post in the phone's forum about it.
Ok folks,
The OP said he gave up and farewell. There's no need to keep this thread going. Not to mention we have more than enough phone comparison threads on this website.

like the title says, i am currently owning the Galaxy S5 , my question is ,
is the Note 4 worth getting when i have a s5 ? i would like to experience the Note phone as i never had one before and i like the spen thingie looks cool.
did anyone here had a s5 and jumped to the Note 4 ?
i dont really want to get the S6 nor the Note 5 mainly due to no Removable back for battery swapping and the use of msd.
yesterday i had sell my s5 for a note 4! it is really better for performance battery camera everything! for me is it a good option!!!

awesome thanks, but how much extra did you pay on top of it ? i think if i sell my s5 in the city here i would barely get 200$ for trade in and would need to pay about 250$ for getting the note 4.
my biggest question is the screen bro,
how is the screen in your eyes??? i saw the note 4 screen from a friend and i didnt like it like MY eyes hurt from looking at it , as it is a QHD display will you get used to it ?? its sooo sharp ,
thanks for the feedback
I sold together with the gear neo 2 so I did not pay anything. an affair!
the screen is much larger of s5, MUCH! and everything is very clear ..sharp! the best display for me. the brightness is very high, to not have problems I keep it to less than half !! if you can buy it!
the memory is 32 gb ..i have 32 micro sd therefore at the top with removably battery!

nice , i am thinking of getting the 910F variant so i can have CM installed on it
thanks for the feedback, so in your opinion it is defintely worth it and it is much better than the s5 in everything ?:fingers-crossed:
I've had s5 for a year and I think it is much better. pictures at night for example are really the best.It is reactive with the TouchWiz !!! good buy!
ps i have 910F european version!
I didn't have an S5 but I did upgrade from a Note 3 to the Note 4.
In my opinion the Note 4 is a fantastic phone- the camera is superb and the screen is face-meltingly awesome.
However, just it can be laggy at times- I'm pretty sure it's a common issue amongst Note 4 users (I have lag and I'm running SimplRom- which in my experience gives the smallest amount of lag in comparison to other custom ROMs I've tried).
The battery life is pretty good too.
Personally I'd make the upgrade but just be warned- there is a fair amount of lag.
Perhaps have a look at review videos etc on YouTube? There's bound to be a comparison video somewhere.
Good luck!

and i think you should try CyanogenMod if you own a QualComm Note, the n910f < CM will give you zero lags bro , TW lag is in every Samsung phone XD

Hmm, difference in performance from your S5 to a SD Note 4 will be very minor. Specially because the display has a higher resolution.
Quite frankly, official 5.1.1 by Sammy is looking glorious. Phone is so ridiculously fast that I find myself playing of opening and closing apps.
I used CM variants at my S3 for 2~3 years straight, but apart from the cleaner look I honestly don't miss anything about it.
If you're dead set on using CM then the 910F is going to achieve daily driver level much sooner, but the 910C is a better device.

i see.. well i like CM alot, i had the Exynos S5 900h and i swapped it with a QualComm 900f, i really dont want to do that again, since the 910c is a Exynos based model, i think there isnt much of a difference personally.. cause i know this from owning the exynos/qualcomm based s5's.
how much do you like the Note 4 ? is it a very fun phone , like more fun than the smaller displays e.g s3/s4/s5 etc. the ones ranging from 4.7'' - 5'' etc. ?
oh and one more thing, how long will it take me to get used to the sharpness of the n4 screen ? the qhd is the thing that hurts my eyes, when i looked at the one from my relative his n4 hurt my eyes, it is non fake , he has the 910h < exynos one.
will my eyes adapt to the huge sharp screen in a matter of days ?
i'm considering switching from my note 4 to the OP2 what are your recommendations ? can i have user reviews about battery and overheating issues (if there's any) ?
I've only had the device for a day and I played a few games and there was no overheating. A little lag in the game but not much. Battery is better than the Note 4. That is for sure! I've owned the Note 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The OPT does have better battery life than the Note 4 and 5. If i remember right the Note 2 and 3 had amazing battery life.
I will also say this. The Note 5 is faster than the OPT and the camera is better and so is the fingerprint reader software. I hate touchwiz and I mean I really hate it. I said NO MORE SAMSUNGS after the Note 4 but I had to get on Tmobile's Jump plan so I got a Note 5 and I'm impressed with the SW now. Still not stuck but not horrible anymore.
I hope someone answers you but man you have got a lot of reading to do. Same boat as u. torn between op2 and moto. Best of luck.
Interesting
Well, i will be giving a neutral answer.
1. If you owned a note 4(which u already are), dont waste your money and give that OPT invite to others(if you have one)
2. Regarding your question about overheating issue and battery life, i assure you(well unless you get your hand-on an oxygenOS 2.0.0) there is no overheating issue at all(except you play a 3D HD game like implosion for 1hour+ which temperature will be at 48°c). For battery life, i get a decent SOT of 3h45min ~4h30min for average usage such as facebook, watching youtube, spotify, and waze with some occasion wifi hotspot.

Thank you for the answer.
i also had note 1,2,mega,s4,s5, note3,4, and NOT planing to go on note 5 cuz i hate tw and got bored of it so after sammy removed removable battery and extended storage i also said byebye samsung after the note 4. Might as well get something new and different. The HTC m9+ is way out of my budget. And since i saw the OPT i fell in love for it but i had few doubts about the sd810.
thank you alot your answer helped me very much

If you haven't played with the S6 or Note 5. You should. You might be a little surprised by TW now. I guess it's the theming engine coupled with the speed. Check it out on a friends phone if you can. Not at the store.

I dont really know very much about oxygen os lol but im glad to hear that no overheating issues, as for gaming i dont spend more than 10-15 minutes on a game, mostly fb, instagram, calling, whatsapp.......
and as for the invite i dont have one but there is a merchant in my country getting some so im gonna buy from him the 4gb ram 64gb model,
and mate i simply got bored of same tw over and over if there was a cm rom for my varient i wouldnt consider changing my phone.
if you have anyother comments and some things to tell me about the OPT please do as my decision is almost made
Thanks alot for replying

I guess so. The new moto pure has a terrible battery life from what I read so. Although I will miss the touch less control of the x. I want something that can go well for at least a day and somewhat endure for a couple of years. Although the nexus 6 is quite large. Guess it is op2 then. Will get it through oppomart I guess
This is my recent history.
OnePlus One 1 month.
OnePlus Two 2 weeks.
Both OPO & OPT running hot (OPO is hottest).
OPT is equipped with a better battery, and stand-out from the affordable crowd. The thing is, why you want to switch from Note 4? Any particular reason? I guess the Note 4 has all the features one would want. The 16GB version of OPT is way cheaper than Note 5 ot Edge 6. The choise is yours

Do not trust Oppomart.
I buy two time from oppomart first time they sent me a new phone, second time a used phone, I sent back and they stole me 400 euro on refound.
“I’m sorry the packet arrived empty are you sure you put the phone inside?”
Come on!
I buy from aliexpress and pandawill, it never happen something like this.
To be honest with you, the OPT is not ready yet! but dont get me wrong is a good thing,i got it 2 weeks ago,bit laggy, some bugs and some heat on stock Oxygen 2.02.
But here is the thing! If you using AK kernel you get a different phone! no heating anymore, decent battery life much snappier UI,an He is still in beta stage!
Thats why I love OP, couse you dont get the best of everything out the box, you have to "treat" it to make better for you.
Thats why you can see lots of bad reviews, and they right, you can buy an apple which out the box, everything is smooth and working, but please ,its too boring for us "modders".
If you dont mind to digging forums for make the phone better step by step, and trying different kernels,roms every week than go for it, if you wanna settle with something which is settled,than buy samsung or moto.
Never settle!
