3. note 3
4. Other android phone
5. Other phone?
Id intended to wait 2 years until I upgraded but 1gb of ram is working out to be ridiculously low and basically, while ideally id love to change to wp8 I'm addicted to android.... I'm waiting to see what the final specs of the note 3 and nexus 5 will be, and choose between the two. I'm thinking note 3 is the strongest contender as it will most likely be a powerhouse but pure android is tempting too

it's not been released yet
The Google Note 3

Note 3
I`am thinking of Note3 as everybody, but still waiting for Motorola X phone.
And hoping for phone with IP67 (water and dust proof), big battery and possibilities above S3 AND most important - with dock station with i can use my phone as home computer.
Hopefully soon an Oppo Find 5 or it's follow-up by the end of this year.
It's screen, sound and UI create the ultimate user-experience I honestly find unmatched by any other phone.
The only reason it's probably unknown to you is it's lack of marketing in comparison to the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4.
It's something you guys should really check out! :good:

Bought a Galaxy Note 8 3g, now this is a big phone!
Hello. Long time Android & XDA user here.
My old Motorola Atrix 4G is finally starting to die. So I decided to go out and start looking at a new phones.
Phones im considering:
1. Samsung Galaxy Note 2
2. Samsung Galaxy S4
3. Samsung Galaxy S4 Active
Now a liitle about me. Im a computer tech, I know a good bit about linux and windows OS. I sometimes for my job have to remote into servers to fix issues. Mainly Windows servers. Because of this I am already testing the Galaxy Note 2. I like the big screen and battery. But it is big. Maybe too big?
I also would and have flashed my previous phones to better roms so I would say a strong development community for the phone is a must. The more roms (stable) the better in my option.
I like the S4 because of the camera and the S4 Active for the "water resistant" & dust proof. I also like the IR blaster, something the note 2 lacks and the higher processor power.
My question at the end of the day is im looking for a phone that:
A. Has good remote desktop resolution
B. Good development community for roms
C. Maybe IR blaster
D. Resonable battery life
Im thinking the S4 Active but how stable is it compared to the S4?
Thanks for any feedback!
Dimitri
I'd definitely wait for the note 3 over the note 2.

They'll announce it in a couple weeks. No idea about availability but I wouldn't think it would be long after
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The active is nothing to write home about. It is garbage to many people and a failure on Samsung's part.
My wife has the Note 2. Huge screen. Not too big for the hands, fast and reliable, but bulky in an otter box. She is completely stock.
I have the S4. I was lucky enough to get it shipped directly from AT&T with MDL so I am able to flash all the ROMs I want from both The AT&T and T-Mobile forums. If i were to have gotten MF3, I would only be able to root.

That is entirely up to you. I personally love the S4. It smokes every phone out there and will probably continue to do so for the next year.

Too be completely honest go with a nexus 4 or the nexus 5 when it comes out. The s4 doesn't feel that much powerful. I still get lag and such. I came from a 1core family phones both Inspire and Infuse, but I jsut am not feeling it. If you want support you better get a T-mobile phone that has an unlocked bootloader because the s4 along with the note 3 has a locked bootloader.

I don't have any lag. Disabled animations and debloat as well as a few things like greenify help a huge amount. Android is made to customize. It is up to the user to do so.
The S4 is the top dog. Much better than the N4 on every aspect. Even on stock with locked bootloaders, the S4 destroys it.

I'm on a custom rom but I still don't feel it. The amoled screen really sucks. I always have it on full brightness but I can't see it outside at all. The battery life works for me as I have three other batteries. The camera is only good on TW as are other phones.

Do yourself a favor (if you haven't already done so) and read the "pinned" threads in the general and Q & A sections. It doesn't matter how much you know or don't know already, those threads contain information that needs to be known for this specific model phone.
I hope you enjoy the phone and I think you made a great choice. Good luck.
I know this is a biased crowd, and I'm a bit biased myself coming from a note 2 and note before that. I was 100% sold on the note 3 until I read that review of the HTC. Anyone have any insight on the subject?

Go for the Note 3. Trust me.

I was thinking about max since I'm using HTC one at the moment but I don't think I can live with a phablet without spen.
Can't wait to get my note 3.

I'm not so biased I made my choice on what I buy from experience at work (phone repair) I wouldn't take an HTC anything unless it was free
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I just read the "latest" leaked spec sheet and it stated that the max will ship will the snapdragon 600 instead of the previously stated 800,which is disappointing and pushed me back to the note 3.
I don't use the spen nearly as much as I thought I would so no biggie there, and I do like the idea of a fingerprint reader and the build quality.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 4
I've been using the HTC one since launch and it's a great phone, but the build quality isn't as good as I thought. There are gaps in the construction. The non removable battery is a downer also.

Hi all.. I've had my nexus 4 for quite some time now and loved it..but it's time to upgrade.
Before I got the N4 I was always upgrading to the newest phone but this one stuck with me. A bit too long lol.
I am debating between the s5 and g3.. Will be on t mobile.
Have any of you switched from the n4 to either? Opinions?
Thanks

Had chance to test both of them,.. Lg G3 i would choose,.. Regardless if u r planning to use original rom or custom rom. It feels more confident than Samsung, and another thing, spare parts are around 30% cheaper, at least in my country.

Both phones feel very solid. I liked the display on the g3 more but what I hated about it is the volume rocker is on the back of the phone...dumbest thing ever IMO.

I just bought my first Android device coming from a long line of Windows phones. I've handled my friends Galaxy S4s and saw the S5 in store. I ended up purchasing the G3. I gotta say its a slick device.

Have you gotten used to the buttons on the back? I feel like I'll hate that feature so much.

They took a little to get used to, but they don't bother me. I kinda like how the sides are smooth.
MAY i recommend oppo find 7a if you crave more battery life OR the find7 if you want high performance and more sharp screen on expense of less battery life ? in either case its removable so no worries , its a solid build which kicks lg g3's ass
I really want this device But I am a huge flashaholic hence why I have a nexus 6 now and gave my note 4 to wife. But do think there will be enough interest here? I was looking at the T-Mobile s6 edge forum and there is 1 rom lol. Just hoping this phone will get some more mainstream developers. What do you think? Will that stop you from buying this phone? All interest is seems to be in note 5 camp now.

You already answered your own question. If you want development you have to go with the masses which is the nexus 6.
