Many of xda members have definitely upgraded from s4 to note 3. I wanted to have some discussion about their personal experiences about upgrading from s4 to note 3.
Other than just changing model what do you think that what are the features you like to share?
Specifications of both sets are already there on many forums but personal experience is a differnt thing.
Experiances about
1.Touch wiz ui
2. Cammera
3. Personalization
4. Handling a bit big size
5 . speakers
6. Sound quality
And
Any other thing you like to share?

Not exactly S4 but was installing XBMC on my buddy's S3 with a display .2" smaller than S4 but it felt tiny especially using the in-app keyboard compared to Note 2 which I currently own and Note 3 I have on pre-order. Speaking of XBMC, the current stable version is running with no issues on Exynos S3, Note 2, etc. but all versions are unstable with Snapdragon 600 and newer devices with sound and video glitch, instability, crash/hang on launch/exit/app switch, etc. XBMC is one of those can't live without apps once you discover its potential.

Theoretically it seems a bit difficult but practically you find it routine handling. When I switch from S3 to note 2, I was afraid of size but when I got S 4, then it seemed a bit small size.
So size adjustment is a problem till you get the note. One you get it, the problem of size ll be no more

The most important thing for me is that touchwiz is pretty much lag free, on the S4 it was terrible.

s4 is much better or iphone 6 lol
My Galaxy Note 2 was a piece of junk ( had to take the first one back WiFi issues, the second one couldn't even watch a YouTube video without the hour glass popping up every minute, battery life poor) compared to my iPhone 4 until I took a chance and rooted my phone.
Galaxy Note 2 Verizon
Beans ROM v0.10 newest
Perseus Kernel
SD swap
The phone is very fast now I didn't over clock it because it moves so fast when OCing I think its going to blowup.
The battery life is beyond perfect with the Perseus Kernel.
Rooting this phone fixed all of Verizon's drawbacks.

S3. iPhone 5 is good but is extremely limited. S3 just blows everything out of the water.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk HD
The S3 beats the iPhone any day of the week. Take your pick of category. Memory expandability, screen size and quality, battery life and changeability, features of the phone itself, the S3 is hands down the better device. The iPhone 5 is a complete failure, with no innovation of any kind. If Apple does not really go all-in with the iPhone 6, making some seriously impressive improvements, they will loose the market.
Suppose I have to mention that I prefer Android over iOS, as I find Android and both its general UI setup and its freedom of customisability and apps beats iOS any day of the week.
Android is operating system that is not significantly less useful than iOS and it is free and open source software. Why would I not choose android?
That said, the Galaxy S3 is still too expensive for my liking, so I'd go with the next nexus phone perhaps.

Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
First off, get your facts straight. Touchwiz isn't a launcher, it's a framework, a UI if you will. It's more than a pesky easily-replaced launcher.
And it's a matter of personal preference. Some like the Touchwiz UI and some don't. I tend to favor the cleanliness, sleekness, smoothness and intuitiveness of a good aosp rom.

You know what's great? We don't need to have these debates any more. Like TW? Leave your device alone. Like AOSP(ish), buy a GE device or flash the GE ROM. AOSP vs. a skin is like trying to debate which religion is best. There is no right answer and people will go to war defending their individual opinions and biases.
Apex is the best
With the pro version is osum

I will root if my carrier decides to block tethering on the phone.
I will root to remove apps that came with the phone, but I do not want.
I will root to backup all the settings and data on my phone that I normally cant backup if I did not root.
I will root if I want to use a modified kernel to give me better battery life.
I will root to install call recording features that dont come with the phone.
Rooting is much more than just changing the UI... you are also able to change the nuts and bolts of the system to make it work the way you want because sometimes the carrier or samsung itself wont make things the way you like.

Samsung sold 20mil because it's fan base is similar to apple's, they target the same type of consumers. The majority of those who bought an s4 did it for the wrong reasons (there are always exceptions of course). Having the latest galaxy flagship is nearly equal to having the latest iphone nowadays, according to some people's "social standards".
Despite the fact that samsung phone's quality is questionable, sudden death on s3 and note (actually had it on my s3, and believe me it was a really frustrating experience), burn in amoled displays (had it on my galaxy nexus), smearing on s4, and many other problems these phones usually have. of course not to forget samsung's ability to produce lag in a 1.9ghz quad/2gb ram hardware and cheap build quality.. But still these phones sell, just shows you that with good marketing and publicity you can sell anything.

I think everyone should just get a Note 2. Now that is one solid tight phone. Haven't been this satisfied with a phone since chocolate dipped macarons. Great battery life, solid build etc.
I cant believe i'd ever say this, but I was really put off by the S4 on paper, and even more so after playing with it for a while. So much lag everywhere etc.
Troll?
You're asking "why root?" on a site dedicated to development and customization, usually via rooting.
"not rooted or on a rom" then how does the phone work without a rom...?

not joking, huge improvement from Galaxy Note 1 / Galaxy S2
CAT-4 LTE, the removable battery and expandable storage (though the battery life on this thing is so much better than my GNexus that I doubt I'll ever need a second battery) all played a big part.
However if I'm honest, I'd figured I was getting a phablet way back in may but I was torn between the Note 3 or the One Max - I loved the design of the One and yes, the non-removable battery and non-expandable storage were sucky but I figured if they released a bigger version of it, I'd be sold.
Then IFA came and went and HTC announced nothing. Then rumours circulated that it would have a downgraded processor and after seeing the Note 3, I decided I'd waited long enough.
I'm pretty sure the exact moment I made my mind up (And this will sound stupid) was when I seen that it had a USB3 port instead.
I'd planned not to get it but it's just so damn gorgeous looking I couldn't resist. Display, s-pen and battery life are all an improvement over the Note 2 and I have 32gb internal storage now so all good.

my opinion
Samsung galaxy note 3 is an all rounder device..has almost everything..
sony z1 and lg 2 are also very good but lacks some important features..like lg g2 doesn't have external sd and sony z1 display is not as good as Samsung(personal opinion so pls don't start an argument)..and i watched many reviews where they claimed the sony z1 camera is not as good as what sony is claiming..
on the other hand, Samsung has s-pen and unique multitasking features..
in my country lg g2 and sony z1 both are cheaper than gn3..but i still bought gn3 as it has everything i want..and lacks nothing (although ois in camera wud have been a nice addition)

Morning all,
So I recently got a Galaxy Note 3 after owning a Xperia Z1 and Galaxy S4.
My question is compared to those two phones I noticed the Note 3 on Youtube the hd videos seem worse in quality then the other two phones :/
In the meantime I downloaded hd movie trailers to the phone and they seem better and also if I watch ultra hd samples on youtube they r amazing on the screen?
Will the pixel density of this phone make a difference to the quality? The S4 and xperia are 441dpi i think and the note 3 is 386 . . . .
Any insight or help would be great folks
