I had a Note 1, and I initially had zero intention on getting an Note 2, until I played with one. Now that I have a Note 2, I really don't think I need the Note 3 . . . . but I haven't had it in my hands yet.
Who's going to upgrade from the 2 to to 3, and if you are, what features are pushing you to do it?
I'm still on the fence. The 1080p screen is really the only thing that's tempting me at the moment.

I have a feeling history will repeat itself for you
On the fence, no complaints about my note 2, but I do feel bored of it... First world problems. I am eager to see what the note 3 is like in person as well as the nexus 5.

I'm the same. Have had the Note 2 just about a year now, and kind of feel like I need to upgrade just to get something new. Plus I really like the look of the window flip cover and the leather textured back. I'm probably gonna hold off at least until the Nexus 5 gets announced though, plus there doesn't seem to be a way to get one on AT&T that isn't bootloader locked yet.
I am upgrading for 2 main reasons the full HD screen and for the 32 gig built in memory ( the update to put apps on sd card will be useful as well). I am constantly swapping apps around on my note 2 because we never got the ipdate to move apps to sd. Plus I am a tech junkie.
My Tech Junkie factor will probably be the big reason for me to do it . . . Does anyone know of any stores I can walk into any time soon to get my hands on it and decide if I want to pre-order or not?
Right now I'm playing around with an LG G2 which has similar internal specs compared to the Note 3. Just the performance alone is enough for me to upgrade from my Note 2. I will be returning the G2 by the 4th of October to maximize my $35.00 14 day rental of the phone from Verizon. I will get the Note 3 when it's available. The G2 is a nice phone, but I want the larger screen.
dont know if my 2 cents counts but i traded the note 2 for an s4 and wish i would have kept the note 2 but note 3 all the way now. Bigger better, screen, ram and processor have me sold alone

Pretty much on the same boat. Never should have sold my n2 for the s4. The s4 is going away now, can't wait to get the note 3.

yeah my s4 has been gone for a few weeks now. glad to get rid of it lol but this bionic im on is just as bad haha and cant wait for the note 3! better be awesome!
Upgrading here from Note 2 .. I have ZERO problems with it.. but Note 3 is just tempting .. upgraded everything even the Weight of the device ..
I cant let go of this habit of changing devices .. or you know what .. Ill call it a hobby and carry on.
The device will be sold in our markets from the 25th.. there is even a countdown timer in the Samsung shop ..
Most likely upgrading because of the screen and the "leather" back, but not immediately when released. I'd rather wait for a month longer for the price to drop quite a bit, and it will drop.

By how much do you think? I'm debating canceling my pre order if it's substantial enough.
I'm upgrading from the note 2 to the note 3 because 1. More space! 2. Faster GPU! 3.faster CPU 4. Better camera 5. More RAM. That is all .
I don't care for the spen. I have never taken mine out from the note 2.
I take alot of pictures so the upgraded camera will be a welcomed addition. I almost brought the Nokia 1020 just for its 46mp camera

Agree on the camera. I would upgrade from my Note 2 on all of the above in fact except for Knox. Not sure I want a locked down device, or to lose my warranty on day one! If you can't flash, what's the point? I'm waiting a while to see how this shakes out...

Another upgrade over here. The N2 has been the best phone I could ask for but more screen is always welcome. And if history repeats N3 will get even better battery life than N2! Had N1 (LTE and int'l) and N2 (i317m) so the N3 int'l will be a real treat.
The S4 is on Craigslist tonight.
5 months ago, i was talking with my wife and said i won't upgrade to note 3 when it is come out..
when i see note 3 now with more feature and more power.. so tempting...
The reasons i probably upgrade:
- screen 1080p
-3GB ram i know i don't need it lol
- more features..
- design a lot better then note 2...
now the only problem is.. i can't decide which one to get.. exynos or snapdragon when i want to get it..
Last, i was expecting bigger battery tho.. maybe 3,600 mAh.. but it is still the same.. so another one that influence my decision is have to wait for review about battery life.
I am upgrading just for the screen. My gf got the s4 and the screen is amazing. I have much better than average near sight but cant see past 30ft for my life, but I can see the pixels on my note 2. No one else i know can see them but all i see is jaggies and boxes. So I am looking forward to the screen,
Some other bonuses is the cpu. After seeing a review of the lg2 and knowing it has very similar performance, i cant wait to get my hands on a device that fast. Also the lg2 has been getting better battery life than the note 2 with only a 3,000mah battery. So there might be a good increase in battery life for the note 3.
And last is the software. It can be done on the note 2 but you know samsung will not add the features to the note 2. I use multiple windows a lot and am looking forward to use more than one app at one. AND THE NOTE 2 CAN DO THIS! I have had 2 of the same apps open before by opening one app then in the other window open a file with the same app and it works no problem, but i would like this to be easier.
I pre-ordered mine and now have to wait 3 weeks
Upgrading from Note 2. More RAM. More cpu poerr. Biegger screen. Better technology.
i have bought this phone after using note 2 almost 1 year..
ejoyed a lot note 2 and its feature i love the note 3 specification and its hardware...
but as i am indian user i have exonys cheap version and its vary bad that the system is pretty close for development and not as powerful as qualcomm precessor.....
now i want to move on..
please comment whether to sell note 3,wait for note 4 or buy lg g3 or htc m8...

I'd wait for the note 4, especially if you use s pen a lot.
Even I’m a Indian user and using the exonys N9000 International version since long. Its true that exonys one has little heating issues and very slight performance difference than Snapdragon but like Snapdragon the exonys one is equal powerful I think. Worldwide people using the international model N9000, Not only Indian.
I could go for N9005 Snapdragon version over ebay easily but to stick with the warranty, regional updates etc I didn’t look for it.
About the heating issue, I use a leather flip cover and unless when its charging and excessive Wifi Theater I never ever feel any heat.
For me its not only the processor the phone itself is incomparable to any any other phone in the market right now. Its software is great, the spen is exceptional, I would never leave this phone unless something better that that, of course that would be Note 4.

Welcome! No I never rooted and don’t want to do ever due to warranty and other reason, unless its extremely required. Improper rooting drains the device. Many user facing issues due to this as far as I know.. The stock phone itself has all best features require for a business phone. Try to avoid aftermarket apps as less as possible and it will perform awesome. For me it work 50% like a PC for work when I’m on the go.
Note 4 will definitely be way to better than Note 3, like the difference between Note 2 and 3. But for me Note 3 has everything I need for my work support and others. I really appreciate this device.

I swapped mine for an Nexus 5 then moved to the HTC M8. NO regrets at all. - The Note 3 is a beast of a device, whether you want to sell it or not only you can decide. Weigh up the PROS and CONS of selling it on or keeping it. Then decide what to do. No one can make that decision for you I'm afraid

i have decided to wait for few months..:victory::victory:
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.

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.

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.

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!
I thought I'd post a thread for my fellow S6 users planning to move to the N5X.
I had the S6 with me since the launch day itself. I was hoping that due the popularity of the S lineup there could be CM support just like S3 had.
After almost 9 months of waiting I finally gave up.
Yes there is CM for S6 but it is no where near stability. Without a maintainer there wont be any. Samsung will never release sources for exynos.
These facts however cold they maybe are straight forward facts. The CM source we have has a lot of work to be done, and I am not talking about 2 or 3 lines of code. Hals need to be written from scratch and tested. I believe in open source mindset. If I have paid almost 800 usd for a piece of hardware I should have the right to put whatever software I want.
So finally I moved to the 5X.
1) The build does not feel cheap, its lighter than the s6 yet sturdy and does not feel fragile.
2) The power button is not as tactile as the one on the S6.
3) Display is really good. 1080 is enough and I have to try really hard to see the difference between fhd and qhd. This is my first IPS LCD phone all others have been amoleds and I am pleased to say that the display on N5X is really subtle on the eyes.
4) Camera is very good, almost close to the s6. The cam app is not that great but I am using manual camera so it dont matter.
5) BATTERY LIFE! N5X only loses 1% charge over night. Doze is just amazing. I am almost getting 6 to 6.5 hrs of SOT over a 1.5 to 2 days of usage. I'm pretty sure I can push it to 8hrs of SOT.
6) Fingerprint scanner is faster than the S6. and the positioning is more natural.
7) The front speaker is really good. I can hold the phone without worrying about blocking the speaker.
8) Fast charging is pretty much the same as S6.
9) Earpiece quality and clarity are 2x better than the one on S6 imo.
10) The phone does not throttle or heat up even on heavy use. SD 808 is just working fine.
So if you are planning to move on to 5X or 6P, I would say go for it.
P.S. I am not here to badmouth our beloved S6. I love the phone, but the software just doesn't live up. Stock android is 100% better than touchwiz when user experience is concerned.
Are your comparisons based on the s6 on lollipop or marshmallow? Cos a lot of the things have improved a hell of a lot on marshmallow for s6 and that's just beta and not final version. The 6p yes, 5x nahh
No front physical home button, no care.
I had a N4 and N7 (2012 & 2013). Meh.
Wider, taller and thicker. The 2 extra mm in width is especially noticeable in the hand--at least it was when I held it. The S6 is pretty much the limit for me in terms of size. But the worst thing about the NX5 is onboard memory. 32g max. That is the ultimate deal breaker. I keep a lot of music on my phone and like to store locally whatever movies I buy from the Play store or videos I watch from Amazon Prime so I don't need a connection to watch. Plus, it drains far less battery than streaming. A 10-episode series on Prime is like 11g by itself. Come on, get with the times and at least provide the option of 64g model.

Moral of the story: Don't buy a Samsung product (especially with an Exynos SoC) unless you're willing to live with TW. Things have changed since 2012.

I wish we had codeworkx working on S6. Samsung is being a real pain in the a s s. I do understand that their code has some really vital info that could help it's competitors but they can at least provide the basic documentation for the exynos soc.

That makes no business sense. Probably fewer than a few percent of users want to flash custom ROMs, and encouraging them to do so by releasing full sources only increases costly warranty claims. They've totally snubbed the development community, so it's time for us to either be content with TW or move on, IMO.

You guys over exagerate quite alot..stock rom especially with marshmallow is fast and smooth...im getting between 5.30-6 hours sot...
Nexus 5x is a inferior product compared to the s6...even the nexus 6p is not on par with the s6...the only one which is going to be worth getting in my opinion is the upcoming s7..and im going to get the s7 exynos variant not the snapdragon one.. simply because it will be faster.

I never said that S6 was a slow phone. It's about what's opensource and what's not. Touchwiz on the S6 is the best I've seen on a samsung device. But the way samsung heavily modifies aosp and does not tell us is very unfair. Look at sony, they got their custom timescape UI, but still they support AOSP and provide the right sources.

not happening in 3-4months,i think we can expect first stable build(with few bugs) in late 2016
the devs are doing it for fun,they can stop developing whenever they feel like and like OP said no "maintainer" so we cant expect a totally stable build
i wish samsung makes marshmallow tw as good as stock

by 3-4 months google will announce Android N release. Then there will be another reason to wait for samsung to release some source.
If you want development, the S6 shouldn't even be in contention. We buy the S6 for premium build and the built in tech like fprint scanner, IR Blaster, Heart Rate Monitor and crazy gorgeous screen.
Even with that ****ty CM, half the tech built in will not work properly so why buy the S6 hoping for CM?

To the OP, any issues with the reported lag on the 5x? I'm looking elsewhere from my s6 because even on that "premium" phone, I get lag opening hangouts and even at times typing. I never had any problems on my previous original nexus 5.
I'm really stuck in this same move myself. I bought a s6 when my nexus 5died because it was the best hardware around. Little did I know that the monster of a processor would be gimped by poor ram management. I bought a 5x during the holidays and I really enjoy the stock Android and solid battery life.
Then they came out with the marshmallow beta and fixed most of my reservations - ran management, keyboard killing, fingerprint sensor speed, and standby drain. The mm build is competitive in enjoyment, at least until the next nexus comes out.

I would be running a Nexus 6P if I didn't think that the SD810 was a step backward from the Exynos!

Hardcore nexus and flashaholic user here since g1days. S6 is my first samsung. I had nexus 4, nexus 5, OPO, Nexus 6 most recently. 6 was nice but too bulky.
I'm really enjoying the stock samsung experience. Getting 4.5 hours SOT. Fast charge is super nice and I love spay and ir blaster remote. I run action launcher. I'm officially a reformed flashaholic.
Camera on this phone is excellent.

I'm flasholic since i9000/9003. Last hardware running on cm was klte. Really like the layer theme and so on but after using new tw on s6, my bad behaviour gone slowly. And after trying beta 6.0 tw I send the resignation letter to bug hunter division. I guess I already too old for bug fighting.

I have a s6 and just bought a nexus 6 , thats a great phone and cheaper than the 5x , keeping both , as they both have thier plus and minus , use my s6 with the gear vr and that is cool to watch movies , so plan to keep the s6 after the s7 is out for the vr side.

Hi guys I'm currently use oneplus two temporary... Im from note 3(sold it). I love galaxy note series camera and specially display... So i need to know should i stick with ONEPLUS two or should i buy note 4?
I know n4 is 2014 and OP2 is 2015. Apart from internals im not satisfied with battery, charging and camera of OPT.... I need good development, good performance most importantly good battery life.... So what you think guys??? Please font suggest other phones... Just need good honest opinion.

I use n910c, love screen, battery, perfomance, spen, perfect phone, but i like stock os, before i have oneplus one, loved it, because has stock os and a lot custom roms. Thinking now about oneplus two
Around 4 months ago I've been invited to buy an oneplus2.. I bought it straight away thinking that it was much better than my note4. After all those months where I had both phones my primary device is still the note4. The main reason has been the lack of a sdcard slot on the oneplus2.. I do flash too many ROMs and I prefer to do it clean, so copying all my music and important files every time bothered me a lot.
I had no problem with battery life with both phones... Regarding the note4 camera is good with TW ROMs but not so good with cm based ROMs (yet). Note4 has good development, but the oneplus2 is getting better and better every day.
I personally don't like the samsung stock touchwiz, but if you don't mind it you may be ok buying the N910C (exynos) version.. if not go for the N910F (snapdragon) that has more development (if I'm not wrong).
The note4 is a really good phone.. probably the best I ever owned.. but I would think twice before buying a 2 years old phone... just my opinion. You probably won't regret if you buy it, but it is always a 2 years old phone.. so have a look here at our development section and do some research and make your decision.
In the end I can just tell you, from my personal experience, that the note4 (N910F) is an amazing device.
Cheers
stay with your oneplus 2 and wait the note 6 if u can (mainly due 2 sd-card support ) and u will feel much of difference

Yeah, that's what I would recommend. However if you want a removable battery and a microSDCard slot then I recommend getting the Note 4. As that is probably the best phone of 2014!
Im using both now, the op 2 is better in camera and definitely performNce ehen you install the right software, the note 4 just has a better display and the pen ofc i installed cm based rom cuz tw lagged like ****, and still no official mm hahaha, and about sd card i dont care, both got enough for thr average user so i would stay on op2 and wait for op3 or note 6

You are kidding right? The OP2 has crappy camera sensor when compared to the Note 4 16MP ISOCELL sensor.
Nope, Pictures with Oneplus camera are even a bit better, only the speed of taking photos are better with the note 4, its just my opinion; im on Oxygenos 3.0 and on note 4 on TW 6.0.1 now

I've stayed off CM as the camera was nowhere near as good as the TouchWiz camera when I ran it for a few weeks.
Aftermarket camera apps couldn't compete with the TW camera either.
