Neither. Go for a nexus phone. Nexus s/galaxy nexus/nexus 4.

Bought Galaxy Nexus a year ago for the same purpose, worked like a charm for me. I would suggest to go with Nexus too. There are very popular and hacker friendly.

Strictly for hacking/dev-ing, the Nexus 4/Galaxy Nexus. For hacking/dev-ing while retaining a lot of common features (removable battery, expandable storage), Galaxy S3 or Note 2.

Thats right. Nexus is best :thumbup:

IMO ...if cash strapped, any phone will do. Broadens your mind. Just not a Droid Razzr LMAO.

Nexus

Reading & comprehension appear to be mutually exclusive around these parts. I've never heard of a Samsung duos so I'm taking a gander that the OP means an "S" class Samsung with duo (sic) cores.

I think the Galaxy Nexus/Nexus 4 is the best choice, because you get always the newest updates.
When ubuntu phone is released, you can also develop for ubuntu phone.

i would also rather go for a nexus device instead of the 2 other devices, there are plenty of documentations and drivers for them and you can also run ubuntu on it. perfect for hacking around.

The google phones are the path of least resistance for hacking. They make things easier than 3rd parties who don't care about users who want to unlock or root their phones.

Calm down man, jeez.
In that case, Nexus 4 and Note 2, or if price is an issue, Galaxy S3.

buy before 09/30

Hi! I have to buy a tab 10" before the end of this month or at least the the fist week of october (to watch movie, mail, social network and NOT playing games or calling).
Nexus 10 is my choose.
Do you think the new version will be on the market before that date?
do you have suggestion? :fingers-crossed:
Thank you!

Yep, i don't think second edition of nexus 10 can be that good. On the other hand, note 10.1 can be expensive at first.

Well if it's made by Asus I'll definitely pass... The first note was $500 for the 16gb and $550 for the 32gb but they take microsd also so it's a pretty good deal. But the new nexus 10 most likely will be a little cheaper
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4

I don't see what all the note love is about... I never found any of those added bloat features useful and the nexus 10 is $100 cheaper.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 4

I had both nexus 10 and note 10.1 and they both were great devices... There's a few features the note had that people on the nexus and other devices were asking for like the multitasking. So some of that added bloat is useful features

I dont love the look of the note 3...granted easy enough to change the back cover...will have to have it in my hand to say for sure but odds are ill pick it up.
Also curious to see what the nexus 5 will bring.
sent from my S3, S4 or Note2

Right now; my wife & I both want a Note 3

I am extremely intrigued by the recent Nexus 5 rumors. A 5" display in a phone smaller than the Nexus 4? I would love that. 2300mah battery is a bummer though...

Nexus 5

S-PEN for SGS4
Is there something like the S-PEN for Galaxy S4?

I thought the s4 was getting close to the limit of screen/bezel ratio but I guess not. Very intrigued indeed.

Right?? If it comes with at least 32gb of storage and costs $300-$350, I'll almost certainly be getting one.

I would get the LG G2

Won't do the i337 any good.

Would probably have a nexus 5 as my back up, S4 will remain my main phone.

Lol.

The G2 is very nice... but I'm curious to see what comes out between now and March of 2014... For now I'll wait.

I just broke my S3 and am getting a replacement with my protection plan.
I have the choice of Note 2 or S4 ....
what do you think? advice other than screen size please

Well 2 different purposes IMO, but I'll give it a try......
S4 is 1080 p - Note 2 is 720 p
No S-pen obviously for the S4, but with the AIR gestures, you still can hover with your finger to preview things and it has eye detector features such as Smart Stay/Pause/Scroll which I believe are not on Note 2.
Battery life is better on the Note 2, as it has a bigger battery than the S4
That's as far as I know about those 2 beasts
Edit : I just remembered this video ... that Tony Stark guy made a good comparison :

About buying

Hello
A simple question. Is it worth to buy a note 3 now or is it better to wait for xperia z 2? I mean is note 3 still a fast phone?
Maybe note 3 isbecoming a bit old now or?
sent from my stone Note N7000

A bit old? Lol... This ain't Apple son... The Note 3 is still very powerfull and fast and it will be for a long time yet.

Note 3...almost guaranteed to have better battery life. Z2 is quite chunky even tho note 3 is bigger it is slimmer with better screen ratio compared to borders. Its not water resistant but. Xperia will take my money when battery is better and design isnt so chunky.

What! you have not done no research on the Note 3
The note 3 will still be faster than most phones in a years time.

Yes i look at many many reviews. But i think it is more realistic to ask people using phone in real and not only in benchmarks.

Depends on your needs
Note 3
-------------
Removable battery
S Pen
Bigger battery
Z2
------------
Water and dust proof
Faster processor
Better build quality
_______________
If you're into rooting and custom Roms. Samsung is much more fun as builds are released often.
I using note 3 it's very fast and it's constantly on power saver which limits the cpu.
If you need 4K video be sure to get the 4G model N9005
I wish the build quality was better though. For a flagship device it doesn't have the premium feel of an iPhone or HTC

I personally think you should go with the note 3 I had the z1 and yes build quality is amazing with Sony but with major updates Sony pretty much makes a train wreck out of the phones

This phone is amazing! The s5 has a little better cpu as the z2 but 3gb of ram in the note make it kinda future proof, it will be around for a lot of time as one of the best on its field.

Funny thing is I love the LG I have currently, I bought it sim free and I've only had it about a month but it's so good that I want that speed and smoothness on an even bigger screen so I ordered the Note 3 yesterday. When it arrives I'll sell the LG G2.
I can't wait till the N3 arrives, I've previously had the Note and Note 2 and the Note 3 looks like a step up.

Did anyone come from Note 3?

Did anyone leave the note 3 for the M8?

I sold my Note 3 to pay for the M8, yes. Had the Note 2 before that, too.

I left it for the M8. No regrets, the note was just too big.

Sold mine on Swappa. Got less than what I wanted, but it's all good. I definitely got my money's worth out of my Note 3. There just wasn't anything too remarkably different from the Note 2 and Note 3. I like trying different phones. I swap between this and my Moto X. I should be good now until I get the new X coming out later in the year, now. I am taking a break from Samsung products

Man I would love to get rid of my note 3 for the m8... just can't afford it.

I got the M8 off contract for $600 and sold my Note 3 for about $150 less than that. So for the 6 months I used the Note 3, i definitely got my money's worth (I bought the Note 3 on contract pricing).

Same here, I went gs3 to note 2 to sg4 to note 3 now to m8...couldn't be happier. I wanted to use the s pen more, just didn't find it was all that functional. Really love the idea of it, but I rarely took notes with it and other than that, really just kept it in the phone.

I'm thinking of making a mass thread called "what phone did you come from and how does it compare?". I just love conversations like this on xda XD
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

Yeah I came from the note 3 and I still have it until I decide which I like better. Part of me misses the size as it's hard to get used to smaller size. I'm having issues typing but I'm sure that will get easier. I will say this phone feels so much nicer in the hand. Anybody tried that light bright case yet?
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

I have the "light brite" case. It's actually really nice.I'm used to using the sview case but I like this case much better just for the different look it has. The flap is a little annoying but I figure it will get worn in and be a little better awhile
