I have been using a Note 4 since it was released and I totally love the device. But since the Note 5 arrived, I've felt like upgrading since its the new device in the series.
But I'm having doubts because of the lower battery life non-removable battery and no SD card features. I don't know if there are any other good features which was there in Note 4 but have been removed from Note 5. What do you guys think? Please let me know if any of you have upgraded from Note 4 to 5.

Hi Guys,
Need your advice, my orginal Note is having issues amd I think its time to let it go.
but I am confused abt the replacement device.
I prefer to stick with Android due to customizations and flexibility it offers.
Nexus 5 :
Pros:
Price = 400 USD
GOOGLE device so updates always available
Cons:
Non removable Battery.
No expandabable memory
Screen small as compared to Note 3.
Samsung Note 3:
Pros:
Better Camera
Big screen size
S Pen and Suite
Removable Battery.
Expandabable memory
Cons:
Double the Price of nexus 5 : USD 800
and after the issues I had with Original Note, I am sort of scared of Note 3.
Android updates always delayed
I suggest the Nexus 5.
"Size isnt everything."
I suggest Note 3, S-Pen, bigger screen...

They're both good, but in my opinion The note 3 is a bit overpriced like all Samsung phones.
The nexus 5 is a all days phone, good specs and Cheap for a nowadays phone (E.G Iphone 5S ~$800 Samsung GS4 ~$600 LG G2 ~$600)
The note 3 is a little bit overpriced in my opinion though since the specs are not that better than the nexus 5, The only thing that it has is Expandable memory and Better camera.
No competition.. go for the nexus 5..the screen is brilliant.. awesome gaming performance.. and yes.. you will have both official and unofficial ROM support for the next 3 years atleast.
Note 3, because it's a more common and premium device, you would get a lot of options on custom roms compared to nexus 5..
Though, I would say nexus is a great phone too. And the Roms availability is not bad for nexus !
Ofcourse, Nexus.. brilliant performance.. brilliant screen..
You will not have to wait for updates.. for so long & almost half price of note 3..

This is obviously not true, The nexus series has got much more option on C-Roms than the Note 3, since the Nexus Has always the first android , That means the Source code of the nexus 5 becomes earlier available than the Note 3 Code, Which means that the Developers has more time to create a Rom.
Even when you compare the Development Section of the Nexus 5 and the note 3, The nexus 5 has lot more Roms
note 3
I prefer note 3,,,,,,
Im in the same boat.
Gs3 is flakin out on me so im gonna upgrade. I just bought the note 8 about a month ago on the next plan. Having serious buyers remorse now because I would have picked up the Note 3. Im on the fence on either the nexus 5 or the note 3. I love the note 8, being an artist its a great tool but I like the idea of saving the money choosing the nexus . Im also considering the Moto G for price and using it as a phone and using my note 8 as a tab.
Any thoughts?
Hi Guys
yesterday i buyed a galaxy s6 and not the edge
used my note 3 for almost 2 years and i really liked the note 3
there are some strange options on the galaxy s6
i cant see a optiom to turn on multi screen
and there is no alfabetic option in the app drawer.
beside this everything is very stable and fast the battery charges very fast
Dont expect a huge upgrade from note 3 to galaxy s6

Your Title should be I have bought a Galaxy S6
The International version of the S6 and S6 Edge don't have an alphabetic sorting option, the USA variants do. You can use Apex or Nova for the customisation options.
Most Note users wouldn't downgrade to the S-Line anyway. The S6 is aimed at Non-Samsung users, not us. We're using a Note for the Spen and the big screen. Neither of which can be found on the S6.

Exactly this. I come to the end of my contract and have the option of getting the S6 but the only reason I would get it is to sell it again for nice profit. Note 3 running 5.1 (Temasek) is perfect for me... a Note 5 Edge might tempt me away.
Honestly, a qHD display is hardly noticeable on the S6, plus battery life would suck....
basicly

The note 5 would be a big s6

maybe they would put a sd slot into it

Umm, no. The S7 will be a small Note 5. Not the other way around.
Don't really expect great upgrade to Note 5....
Coz from my observation: Note 3 is based on S4, only the SoC is different.
Note 4 is based on S5.
From what samdung offer to S6, I don't really expect big thing with Note 5...
Note 3 is more than best in my opinion.
I use the crappy Exynos version, I might buy another Note 3 with the Snapdragon version instead of upgrading to Note 5.
I really hope Samsung keep the expandable storage and removable battery with the Note 5. If not, its no big deal but it would make a lot of difference when it comes to decision between the LG G Note or the Note 5. LG have come a long a way from their older devices....very powerful influence in the mobile tech world, severely underrated.

The Note 4 is reaction to user complaints from the backslash they got from the ugly S5. Note 4 - metal, not polycarbonate. The S6 is based on the Note 4, and the Note 3 is way more angular than the S4 to bear any resemblance.
Otherwise, the N9005 is great, Samsung stepped up their SoC game only recently with the last two Exynos processors.

Not the design, I mean the features included like sensors and smart-software....
And by minor upgrade I mean: only screen res and SoC is upgraded, nothing more...
I'm looking to find a solution for my phone - it's a SN9000 Samsung Note 3 by Rogers, and it's been acting really nasty the last 5 months - super slow, laggy, battery life is crap (I bought new ones too!).
Now I'm debating which route I should go - do I root the Note 3? or Do I just buy a Note 5? I'm not really blown away by the Note 5 to be perfectly honest, and feel that maybe a Rom or two could significantly improve my phone's performance to what I would expect from a Note 5? - Am I off in my thinking here?
I'd love some advice on the matter!
TYA!
i got a note 3 samsung sometimes arrive at 87 degrees
,don´t know what to do what do may change for another rom what do you recomend please thanks
Two questions today.
Can I use CM13 ROMs built for the Note 4 with the Note Edge? The two phones have the same SoC so shouldn't a Note Edge Kernel + Note 4 ROM work? I don't care about the Edge features.
Second, I need to buy a replacement battery because the phone dies at like 30% battery. Can I buy the Note 4 battery that is 3220Mah? Will it fit and work?
Thanks!
Note Edge custom Kernel (Mickey's) + Note 4 ROM is a working combination if you don't want Edge features.
You must buy a battery which is made for Note Edge.
No you cant. Note 4 and Note edge has a different battery size.
I Have the note 5. Should i trade it with the note edge??
The only thing i hate about note 5 is micro sd card expansion. Although note 5 is great phone and it has thin bezels the lack of sd card still kills me. I have a rom with full samsung s8 support.
How is battery life on the note edge compared to note 5? Are the edge features really usefull?
The Note Edge is great, but now at the end of the software update cycle (though personally I find its LP themed software more functional than the new one in many cases).
If you're happy with the Note 5 except for the sd card, why not look at the Dual Sim version? The second slot can be used as an sd card slot.

I am not much annoyed about sd slot,
But some times i tink more storage is better.
I have no lag or battery problems with the note 5.
The only thing bothers me about note edge that i heard reports about such issues. I want a confirmation about this.

Honestly, the note edge is coming close to the end of its cycle (in terms of updates), while the Note 5 should be on android 7. Also if you have the Canadian version of the Note edge (Sm-915w8), it's just terrible in terms of getting updates and security patches. Hope this helps you out:good:
