Can all questions about buying phones or a comparison between phones be posted in here please?
This is just an idea so it makes these forums easier to deal with.

S3 is better but Samsung note is also pretty good.

Like among others get a Galaxy Nexus preferably 2nd hand and cheap, then save the rest of your money because 2013 is the era of the Tegra 4 and Exynos 5250 phones another performance leap from this year's phones but remarkably more expensive as well but it's upto you in the end.

of course....samsung galaxy nexus....

I have the Galaxy S3 and am happy with it but The Galaxy note 2 should be out in about a month and is gonna be a BEAST. I'm thinkung about getting that and handibg the s3 off to my wife.
YouTube has plenty of video reviews on the Galaxy s2 and s3, both great devices, the note 2 specs are unconfirmed rumors at this point but will be impressive.
Samsung Galaxy SIII (SPH-L710)

Galaxy S2 with ICS Neat Rom is quite good.

S2 is suitable

samsung galaxy siii mini

I second the S2. large volume means a pretty good market and it meets all your specs. It's also pretty mainstream, so good active development too.

Nexus 4
Buy Nexus 4 :fingers-crossed:

Share Personal experience about features of note 3 over s4.....

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.

I think the note is in a different category. Galaxy s series is still it's flagship.
I moved to the note series mainly because the screen and because they get the better hardware.

Yes usually note is always a bit improved version of S series with a bigger size.......

But is the Note 3 ergonomic enough for day to day handling when compared to the S4?

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.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk now Free

coming from the s4 i really dont miss it.. the experience on the note3 is just alot smoother to me and having the pen saves alot of time when i have to sign anything when im not in the office..

Knox is past. See this link
