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.

Thank.. Have you rooted your phone? Mine is stock and is laying like hell now... I will now keep this until note 4 and if note 4 doesn't have interesting features over present one I will stick to this also

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:
So my brother is trying to trade with me his lg g2 with a lot of accessories for my note 3 and I just dont know I f I should. Any advice from you guys? I like my note 3 and the fact that the g2 doesnt have external storage and the battery is not removable is what's holding me back. Also I enjoy my bigger screen and spen as well. Hus phone is a lot newer looking cosmeticaly. I have a few scratches on the silver bezel but the rest of the phone is great.
Any advice would be apreciated.
Just that...:banghead:

Don't do it.
If you enjoy the big screen, Spen, MicroSD and removable battery, why the hell would you give it up for a device that doesn't have any of those? It's not as if software tweaks can fix those on a device that doesn't have them.
i hope your not serious
Keep note

In my opinion keep the note 3 . First reason battery life.
Second: capacity on storage and on tasks handling.

Good choice
Hi All, i m going to buy note 4 tomorrow. i want to know that whether it has battery drain issues in lollipop. as battery is my first priority in mobile phone. i previously has note 3 but After lollipop update i drains terribly fast even on standby so i had to sell it... whats situation with note 4?? and how is the sound quality of note 4?? thanksssss
get a 910u taiwan version. least problematic.
Ok if you are going to buy Note 4 don't update to Lollipop now, it is full with bugs and Samsung even doesn't care about solving Note 4 issues.
I just got Note 4 few days back & I feel sorry that I update to Lollipop
Wait for note 5

I have the International Unlocked N910C Exynos model, rooted, running Simplite Rom which is the lightest Rom available, plus after rooted you can remove and disable all useless apps and services you don't need to use, that's all I did, the results are 1.5 day and 6hrs SOT(screen on time), for me this is more than enough, I know a lot of people will suggest waiting for the Note 5, but just think about the price, the Note 4 is almost a year old and still between $650+ - $750,(depending on the market) I didn't want to wait for the Note 5 cuz I know it will be around if not more than $1k, also, at least the Exynos model its almost the same as the new Galaxy S6, same CPU except our chip was build in 20nm and the new on in 14 nm, we also have almost the same camera, overall the Note 4 still an excellent device, maybe you have enough $$$ or not, but I will stick to my Note 4 and if I like something about the Note 5 I just wait to be ported, like I was running a Note 4 Rom ported on my Note 2, well I hope you decide to meet your needs, but this device its beyond awesome, god bless, cheers:fingers-crossed:

I purchased the N910C Exynos variant, and upgraded to Lollipop out of the box. I've had no problems with battery life, regularly getting 5-6 hours of screen on time, with 10-20% battery left at the end of the day. Just follow the standard advice for taking care of battery usage and be careful what apps you have running in the background. The Exynos variant has a Wolfson DAC, so it's great for listening to music - I finally parted company with my trusty Sony Walkman as the music playback on the Note 4 was so good. Can't speak for the audio on the Snapdragon variant though as it has different circuitry.

Hi guys
My father bought an galaxy s6 edge and told me that if I wanted to have it he would change it with my note 4,I don't know what to do is the change worth it or should I keep my phone ?
My phone is rooted I won't root the s6 edge
If you are having to ask then my 1st assumption is that you do not have any use for the larger screen and SPen? So I would say yes, go ahead and swap

Not really both phone have there pros and cons the I'm not using the s-pen that much but I love the screen because I watch all my series and movies from my phone. I will probably keep my phone but another question performance is not that much different with both phones or?

A friend of mine has a S6 Edge, and it is a bit faster than the Note 4, but not by much.
Its certainly not enough to swap. His Note 4 was stolen at gunpoint during an attempted carjacking. He got the S6 Edge to try out while waiting for the Note5, but he is hating the S6 Edge battery life, he says it is rubbish compare to what his Note 4 could achieve.
Is your Note 4 lagging? If so, maybe try do a hard reset, see how you feel after that then decide.
IMO, the Note 4 is a far better allround device than the S6 Edge.

S6 is way faster to open apps and smoothness seems to be better. I suppose game will be a lot better on S6.
On the other side, S6 has a RAM managment problem and apps in background are killed agressively by the system. Battery life is also far better on the Note 4.

Thanks for both of your answers I will probably stick with my note 4. It is not laggy I'm really satisfied with it's performance. One last question it is not an important aspect for me only asking out of curiosity the camera of the s6 edge is a little bit better then the note 4 right?

Yep. Camera in the S6 Edge is a step better than the Note 4, although they both use the same IMX240 Sensor.
Sent from my GALAXY Note 4 via Tapatalk
Night shot will be significantly better on S6 but in good light both are comparable.
Note that camera software is better on S6 with RAW support and more manual control.
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 ?
