Planning to turn in my Galaxy S4 and and trade it to a Note 3 for a minimal fee. I have checked the specs and it seems that the Note has similar specs to the S4 except for the screen size, stylus pen and faster processor so would the Note 3 really be an improvement to the S4 or insignificant?
To be honestly it is worth to upgrade it since note 3 have better screen 5.7inch and their hardware spec is much more better than s4. With an note 3 you able to run custom Rom such as n5 port s7edge port or even n7 port to makes you enjoy your note 3 in life. I been using s4 9505 for 3 years and 2 years for note 3 n9005 international ver for both device I can give a thumb on it.
After my s4 retire I continue using my n9005 as my daily driver and I found is much better to use in multitasking rather than s4 .I bet it's about the screen resolution difference as the bigger screen give you more convenience when you are running multitasking.

I recently bought a Note 2 but I can still swap for another phone. I cannot decide between the Note 3 and S4. Obviously the Note 3 is more powerful and has the S Pen, but it's also $100 more than the S4.
Is there any reason anyone prefers the S4 over the Note 3?
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?
I am really hesitated which one to get,
The note is elegant tablet with the s-pen which I like too much and it is equivalent to note 3 mobile (big note 3).
The tab s is expected to be released in markets within the coming few days, the best resolution and color saturation ever produced in a tablet, it is equivalent to s5 mobile (big s5) and equipped with finger print security, thinner and lighter than note.
Hardware and software are almost similar from all aspects.
Actually I can say that the main difference is the absence of s-pen in the tab s, other differences are not major
Really appreciate opinions and advices. Thanks

Are you going to use spen and note apps? If yes go for note. If no go for tab s.
Hi Guys

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

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...
Galaxy note 4 (exynos) or Galaxy S6, what's your choice?:fingers-crossed:
The Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S6 have both come a long way from past Galaxy flagships, all of which felt about as expensive as a pack of crisps. As both have QHD resolution screens, the S6 has a higher pixels per inch rating, because Note 4 is having larger screen. The Galaxy S6's fingerprint scanner is superior however, and no longer requires an annoying swipe to work. Instead, it handles in a similar fashion to the iPhone 6's Touch ID home button, which is able to scan your digits with a simple, more convenient tap.The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 does have a few important bits the Galaxy S6 lacks, though. First, there’s the S Pen. This is a pressure sensitive stylus that is the Note series’s USP. Even more important to some is the microSD slot. So, it depends on you what is your requirement .
galaxy s6
I think the galaxy s6 is better because its newer.
Galaxy Note 4.
Note 4 has larger screen and it is cheaper than S6.

To some extent yes S6 is better but according to me it depends on user which one is better according to his requirements because for someone looking for large screen phone Note 4 may be better choice and if someone is looking for decent size screen, handy phone for him S6 is better.
