Been comparing the s5 to the note 3 I'm still on the fence.
Will anyone be changing to the s5 or would Change of they could?
Also other then size what would be your reasons

i change my note 3 to the m8 soon.
but the note 3 is much better than the s5 imo. bigger screen (no problem, i have big hands), 1 gb more ram (m8 have 2gb to, but there are more pro's for the m8 though), better design. and much cheaper atm
Don't feel the need to upgrade, I love my 3gb of ram, bigger screen and the stylus.
I would however consider upgrading to the note 4 when it will come out... can't go to a smaller screen, note 4 should be a beast by the rumors.

I got the S5 as a secondary phone as the note 3 is just a touch big for some of my shorts pockets.
Both have their pros and cons but if I were to stick with only one, I'd stick with the note 3

Don't mind the looks, build quality and general experience of the M8 but the low res camera is a joke for 2014 and 16GB is not enough with the new Kitkat restrictions on external SD cards! Why are ALL these clowns making 16GB flagships when the external SD card has just been severely limited in use???
I made the same question when I had the Note 2 amd the S4 came.... I downgraded to S4 because the Note2 was big for my jeans pocket but the Note 2 is better than the S4. Now I ordered the Note 3 for the bigger screen and 3gb ram.
I'll jump ship to the Note 4 LOL
going to S5 would be retrocess..

I feel that its just the camera that's one up so no. Even if the note 4 comes out, unless its also water resistant, I don't think I'd trade my note 3 in.
I wouldn't go to the S5.. That would be a downgrade in my eyes.
The Note 3 still has a few advantages over the current crop 2014 smartphones, buying a S5,M8,Z2 is just wasting money I think.
Plus come end of the year, those that sold their Note 3 for a S5,M8,Z2 ect will only be selling it again "at a big loss" when the Note 4 arrives.
So no i won't be buying anything until the Note 4 arrives later on in the year, even then i'll wait until around Christmas time when the price will have dropped, as it did with the Note 3 when i bought it.
Until then I just hope Samsung doesn't now neglect the Note 3, with the lack of updates & fixes like they did with the Note 2.

I hesitated a long time as I wanted to see what competition came up with.
Both X2 and M8 looked nice but the reviews I read didn't convince me.
Last Saturday I couldn't resist and bought my Note 3.
OK the difference isn't that wild with the N2 but I don't regret it; it's like the 2 but far smoother and faster. Also the screen is way nicer.
I'm particularly amazed by the battery. With my 2 I'd be very close to 80% or even lower while my N3 is at 91%
I fear like you that updating will be a mess once Samsung launches the next generation but we'll have to live with that I guess.

I felt confident I wouldn't feel let down by getting the Note 3, and I don't. Even today I'd plump for the Note 3 over the S5, all being equal. The Note 4 will tempt me but I seriously think this is the first phone I will keep for two years. I just don't see any gamechangers or ways to improve on this form factor and hardware anytime soon. Only bigger/better battery upgrades or a jump up in camera would make a big difference.
Short version: hardware is fantastic and so is the software

I held S5 in my hands last weekend. There is no comparison. It looks and feels cheap and small. I'll be keeping my Note 3.
I've got both. I prefer my Note 3.
The S5 is convenient when you need something dust/waterproof. (my N3 could not have survived yesterday's close encounter with a pool. (I hate the smell of chlorine!))
My hands are quite small (glove size 6, female), but I have no issues with the size of the note 3.
Also, as an Intuos user, I very much love the Spen.

If you have a Note 3 then you already have the better phone.
surely , note 3 is still #1
M8 , G2 pro , S5 ... doesn't have the s-pen .
S-pen is the reason then i'm in love with note 3 .
just note 4 can come on top of note 3 .
I have not used the Spen much. It doesn't help much with my use. Maybe someone can post a few tips using the Spen ??

I "upgraded" from a Nexus 4 to the Note 3 because on paper it sounded fantastic (especially the full HD screen). However, the performance of the device is extremely disappointing. There's a real disconnect between swiping the screen and the software responding. A perfect example of this is in the browser(s) scrolling department. I find that it's worse on Chrome that it is with the other browser. Sometimes in mobile rendered pages scrolling if fine. But most of the time, it's very jittery (it's not fluid and pixel perfect smooth). Very bad for the end-user experience.
Another example: the official Engadget app. Scrolling is extremely choppy on the Note 3. I have found that going into the Developer Mode options and turning on "Force GPU rendering" makes scrolling in Engadget very smooth (although it still stutters).
I understand that what I'm describing will be very subjective, and there'll be many "no lag here" type posts. Just writing about my experience with the Galaxy Note 3. Personally, I find it extremely disappointing. I will never buy another Samsung product.
I'm loving every part of my note 3 so far and find everything smooth and responsive. Battery life has been excellent and the screen is a wonder. But it's all opinions and there will never be a phone that is universally liked by every single person.
Hopefully things will improve for you and you start to enjoy using this wonderful device

Yes, that's typical to Samsung, even with 3GB of RAM it's lags more than devices with 2 GB of RAM and that bunch of bloatware makes it work slower and plus KNOX that you can't to restore if it's changes to 0x1 so it's means you will loose your warranty.
What can I say, Samsung is getting worse and worse, I have my first and the last Samsung phone, because with that their stupid policy I won't buy their phones, and I think they will lose their position some day.
Do you have the S800 or Exynos model?

Maybe you could try the iPhone 5S powered by the Samsung manufactured 64 bit chip.doh that's no good then
I have a nexus 4 and upgraded the missus to note 3 and after turning off the s stay s stuff that she would never use( s-pen functionality still left on) it runs like a dream so much so that I would give her my nexus in a flash if she wanted to swap.

I'm assuming they mean "Smart Stay, Smart Pause" etc.
I own Sony xperia x ultra and I confirm that it is is much smoother than Note 3 even that has only 2 GO of RAM. But the note has a charm and other things that made a little lag just not important: sound quality, s planner, smart stay, camera quality. At the moment the Note is the best SMART PHONE on the market. ( I do own S4 and XZU). My dream device is Note 3 with IP67.

I checked out the Note 3 at an AT&T corporate store, and as I posted in one of my threads, it isn't very impressive. Note 1 feels much more premium compared to the Note 3.
There is something about Note 3 which screams "cheap toy!!" - maybe it's the build quality or the weight. Even the software isn't as snappy as it should be. I had to press the "Return"/"Back" and the "Menu" button three or four times sometimes to get it to work. I was very disappointed to see all this mediocrity in a flagship Samsung phone in 2013.
The LG G2 is what we call snappy and in my opinion (and Techno Buffalo's), it is the best Android phone ever in terms of speed and responsiveness. If the LG G2 had a stylus, I would drop the plan to buy the Note 3 in a second. Playing with the Note 3 for about 20 mins unexpectedly made me wonder if it was an upgrade at all over my Note 1, let alone a Note 2, and that's disappointing.

I just got the Note 3 yesterday.
Let me make it clear by saying that I enjoyed every minute of owning the S4.
But I did start a thread saying I'll probably move to the N3 when it's released.
I actually moved from the Note1 to the S4.
I'm moved from the Note 1 to the S4 primarily because of the high-resolution screen and the LTE 4G.
But I was never really comfortable because the screen on the S4 was small something that I felt suffocated , claustrophobic.
My main concern or lets day apprehension was the possible difference in PPI.
I noticed.the ppi difference between the Note2 and Note3 immediately.
Yes it's there with the s4 vs n3 but not as much.
It's mostly there with apps that haven't adapted to the large format I think.
Other than disgustingly terrible battery life, I had no issues with the s4.
I liked the s4 ,was a great interim phone but my heart lies with the large sizes creens.
After using my S4 as primarily a media device I too am tempted by a bigger screen. Having good unlimited data has really brought this phone alive. The N3 is definitely something to consider.

Hope you enjoy your new device. For me personally, the S4 is as big as I'd ever want a daily carry smartphone to be. I'm a big guy, but anything larger than the S4 is just firmly into the Phablet category for me. And the battery life on my S4 has been outstanding with Juice Defender installed.

The delete icon is back on top in the gallery.
For some reason in the previous version they replaced the delete icon with the last used shared icon.
So to delete a picture you'd have to enter menu then find the delete button then press it, then confirm.
Now its an icon on top next to share and last used.
What a relief.
Why would they bury it in the menu settings anyways?

It looks like the Note 3 is better under sunlight.
What I hate with Note 3 is the high price and the fact that you need 2 hands for everything on it,apart the big screen it has nothing better
Note III isn't that "BIG" change from S4 i don't own the device but i didn't get "i must get it" since 4.3 update gets most of the "features i've seen" on the note III the new browser etc,
and if you wan't more note III features well, we can use the apps from the leak
also stock browser have been better, new thing is bad, loading pages isn't going as it once used to
I had a play around with a Note 3 a couple of days ago and I came to the same conclusion that I did with the Note 2 before it. Namely that it's too big to be practical as a mobile phone and too small to be a tablet. And that's coming from someone with big hands.
It looks lovely but it's not for me, the S4 at 5" is the perfect size for a mobile phone. And the screen looks smoother due to the increased DPI.
One thing that does interest me is the bootloader. Does it come with Knox by default?

Well with the Galaxy S5 only a few months away now, as i don't believe it launch in January more like late March early April, who plans on changing from the Note 3 to the S5?
Rumors so far for the S5 are
5.25" QHD 2K screen with over 500ppi
3GB of Ram
Snapdragon 805 chipset
32GB as standard
16mp camera with OIS maybe
4K video without any limits
Premium body instead of plastic
If these specs turn out to be true, would you be tempted or will you hang on for the Note 4 in September?

For me to switch the S5 has to be different in a lot of ways. Preferably better looking, and now after having a 5.7inch screen... going back to something smaller won't cut it for me right now.
I went from S3 > HTC One and avoided the S4 because it wasn't much different to the S3 looks wise
No way..never going bk to a smaller screen

Ahaaa yep i saw it last day..
Well the "competitor" is a dumb! a homosex should have more possibilities than him!! Ahaha
Anyway she is so "beatch"!
Merry christmas
I could not go back to a smaller screen. Nor will I give up my Spen.
- The metal casing rumour has already been killed by Sammobile&DigiTimes: Nobody is producing them. And it would make no marketing sense to heed the wishes of a few over the purchases of millions. Wishful thinking, the Note 3 was also 'certain' to have a metal case. Mine doesn't, does yours?
- It's just going to be an 2.5Ghz S800, not an S805.
- No curved display either.
Other than the screen, battery and spen, the specs are identical to the Note 3. As much as I would like 2K on my phone, imagine the battery drain on the by default much smaller battery, and lag. The Galaxy S lineup has always lagged. Adding 2K will only make matters worse...
Now i have mini 2 for almost one year and really i like it it have NFC but i wish Samsung release ics or jb for it so i can use NFC for beam beam and now i'm on cm10.1 kitkat soon but i'll gonna buy Nexus 6 i think when it released really i love nexus family

I agree that increasing the resolution and ppi could cause lags. IMO it is not productive at all. We already cannot see pixels, and my Note 3 screen shows exactly same area, if I open an excel sheet, or a map, or a book, as my i9305 S3 with 1280x720 screen.
I do not agree that Galaxy S lineup laggs. That's maybe true, but the reason is Touchwiz. Your own fault if you stick to it. I am running CM on my S3, and it flies. With CM 11 I don't think there is any difference compared to iPhone. Well maybe just sometimes .

Haha same here, I will never use a smaller phone again.
My colleague bought a S4, I thought it was a S4 mini.

I could not go back to a small screen size!
Anything below 5.7 inch can go **** itself.
Now, give me a galaxy mega with note 3 specs and you have yourself a very happy customer.
No way!
Note 3 with S Pen, the best of the best.

After seen Note 4 episode, i feel Apple will give big damage to sales of note 4, if someone want samsung note only why they will buy expencive note 4 when note 3 will be available in half price of that, also iphone is coming with bigger screen, i predict tough year for samsung sale.

I doubt that iPhone will have better camera.. Also iPhone could never achieve what note 3 and note 4 can, with Samsung office options, including S Pen
sent from note3
I am not a fan of iPhone but i don't feel break through between note 3 & note 4, so max s- pen fan will go for note 3 because of price & definitely some crowd who like iphone but because of small screen came to samsung will go for Iphone i guess.

iPhone wont be a threat to Note 4 only if Samsung manages to keep the price almost same as or below Note 3 and well lets wait and see what Apple has to offer coz since past 1-2 years phone upgrades haven't been anything extra ordinary as there's nothing much left to surprise, so lets just wait and see.

I have never liked iPhones
Even if will be having bigger screen
I never like The iOS and its UI
Its not because of I am Android fanboy
Android its genuinely better in my opinion.
And I was expecting 4 GB RAM and idk if it has x64 bit support.

I agree with you. As the owner of Samsung Galaxy Note 2 I will buy Note 3 instead of Note 4. It will be much more cheaper while the specs are almost the same.
Having in mind Samsung Galaxy Note 4, I expected a BIGGER battery (4000mAh), slightly bigger screen (5.9inch), stereo speakers (similar to HTC ONE). ?
Yes note 2, s2 , s3 owner will definitely prefer Note 3 because of price.

I feel Samsung is becoming a joke tbh. The design is almost the same and hardware wise it wont be running circles around the note 3. I guess it's bye bye Samsung for me in the future. I was hoping for an sd805 soc. Closed source exynos means no cm for it. Can't live w/o it.
Note 4 is a Note 3+
It was expected it wont be a huge difference
And the price is insane for a note 4
You have to wait 2 years if you want a real upgrade
For example
S3 to S5
Note 2 to note 4
And yes iphone will blow the note 4 away
With power of the cpu and the hardware
Cant go around this fact
Highly disappointed expected more so I would have a reason to upgrade good thing LG make great phones so I'll wait for the gflex2

This is first time I feel that Samsung has placed a suicide bomb in their department. Note series users always upgraded because Samsung provided something extra and special. I am afraid it is lacking in note 4. Hence most people , perhaps 90% are saying they won't upgrade from Note 3. This is indeed failure for Samsung.
One after one new model producing by sammy, which make them confused, mixed bag of different models in flagship model, nothing new, note 4 is mixture of S5 & alfa.

Samsung must think note users are moronic iPhone users that will line up to throw away our money at the same product just because they added two more features to it. Well my note 3 is still kicking. I'll be looking for lg to redden themselves with the next lg flex they come out with. Thanks for the note 2 and 3 Samsung but it definitely looks like I'm skipping out on the note 4

We Note 3 users......be ready.....for crazy updates full of bugs, once Note 4 launched.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
Lol still note 3 is big upgrade for note 2 users
About the price, yes. note 4 should not be more expensive than note 3, if Samsung want to stay in race. but about the features of note 4, I'm kinda pleased. yes it's not that much a big update to note 3, but this is the case in every companies updates these days. after just one year, we should not waiting to see a revolution!
specially I'm pleased with new touchwiz UI which is way more modern and lighter than current version. multi tasking is much more useful now
I wont trade my note 3 for note 4 of course. just waiting for great devs to start porting it's rom maybe!
BTW the new iphone would have it's own buyers and the note 4 also! the Android and IOS users are separated widely since release of ICS and I don't think that there would be too many migrating users...

after launch of NOTE 4,Within a week time Devs will bring ROM with same Touch wiz UI I believe.
New touchwiz is crap. Hate it. Settings menu is awfull. I saw it on S5. Cant stand all the new icons like bubbles
Note 3 rooted knox 1, my last Samsuck crap. I want freedom. Stay away from Samsuck!
god i hope your wrong i think apple r crapple as i call em r just the most god awful phones . i work with phones and trouble shooting r doing anything with i phones is the pits
What a bunch of cry babies. You people need to understand that new phones these days do not have much to improve on, except perhaps for some software features. What did you expect? Snapdragon 1000? 6gb ram? They added what was available at today's standards.
Better build quality, a few more gimmicks and a sick ui. It's a win.
Samsung reveled two brand new phones the SGN4 and the SGN Edge. The only thing that pushes me to buy one of these phones is the feature that turns a picture into an editable text. It will be a huge PLUS in University in my opinion.
The hardware is exactly the same on both devices. But one has the little curved display. Which do you think is best? Should i make the step and buy the "unsual" smartphone or the "usual" one?
Im switching from an old laggy Galaxy S3 . For daily phone/message use i will have my iPhone 4 small and practical phone. I feel more comfortable calling and texting with iOS .
So whats your opinion guys? I believe that the Edge version will not sell as many as the note 4, and maybe rooting wont be so easy on this device.

When I would choose then I would choose the Note Edge because I wanna try it out.
But it's also much money and maybe that edge stuff is really annoying and all your money will be wasted for a bad feature.
If you have enough money to sell your Edge in case if you don't like it and buy a Note 4 than you should go for the Edge.
November/December will my HTC One M8 arrive !
As ive seen the note edge specs differs from note 4 ... note 4 seems to have greater cpu and bigger battery..
