Depends on how you look at it.. In some ways , of course it's a step back but all depends on preferences. It still works very well and as a user above stated, that extra gig of ram is a big deal imo. I too am very used to my stylus (on my Note4) so go for it if need a deal.. I assume that's why you wouldn't go to the 4? Because that's a nice step from the S5.

Either way the Note 3 would do you just fine (I had a Note3 as well). It's screen is not as amazing as the 4 and the camera hardware is not as high but plenty good and the stylus writing is not nearly as high res or responsive but still great phone.

I've got to add that I'm rather shocked by the AnTuTu benchmarks of the new HTC One M9. Around 43k and it has a SD810. The Note4 with the 805 gets 50k and the S6, low 50's as well.

Rather odd it would bench that low in comparison.

You might get an old outdated tablet!? (Nexus 7) LOL jk.. The naming HAS to change obviously.. What will the next Nexus *phone* be called? 7 was used up while ago as is 9, for tablets. So the naming method has to change I guess.
[General Topics] MikeyMike01:
The naming scheme is based on screen size. The Nexus 4,5,6,7, and 9 are all named accordingly.
[General Topics] sinkster:
The nexus 4 screen is 4.7" while the nexus 5 is 4.95". The tablets are named closer to their screen size, but the n4 and n5 are just the 4th and 5th iterations of nexus phones.

Ironic (I work part time for DHL in exports and security screening) and just yesterday opened up a package..

A phone that doubles as a tablet... Hahaha.. Held up the 10" box to my head imagining a handset or phone call.. Not that anyone would use it that way.. Speaker or Bluetooth.. But still.. Wow

Either way.. Leads to a problem.. Next iteration of the phone would be... Drum roll please... The Nexus7.. But wait.. That name is already used.. For the 7" tablet..

[General Topics] Iantuition:
I had an S3 before but it got robbed from me. Now I'm trying to pick a new Android (cause using this old iPhone 3GS is hell for so many ****ing reasons). I'd wanted the Note 4 really, really badly, but I'm on AT&T and of course it's not rootable and it looks like it will never be rootable. Thought about the LG G3 but the front-facing camera is distorted.

I guess the question I'm asking is what phone on AT&T would be good for me? Def want there to actually BE a root option LOL. I prefer capacitive buttons, a microSD card, and removable batteries, so that puts the sPhone 6 out of the equation. Also, I have REALLY big hands, so I'd actually prefer a big phone.

[General Topics] DroidinAndStuff:
The GS5 is a huge upgrade from the GS4. I think they will become more appreciated now that Samsung has completely dropped the ball by eliminating the removable battery and micro sd from their 6's and Verizon/ATT has locked the N4's down like gestapo fascists.

I have no idea why some people merely want ext sd card support.

I want at least 2 ext sd slots, whose access do not require removal of the removable battery and I want 2 micro usb ports 90 degrees apart. Maybe I want 3 of each. I can hardly believe people are willing to accept any phone that doesn't have an ext micro sd slot and why more people aren't insisting on two slots. Those reader slots don't even cost fiddy cent.

If I wanted to store my stuff in "the cloud" with people I have no idea who they are or what they are about, well I'd do that and never expect anything of mine to be private at all. I want to be able to remove the battery too and not being able to is manure.
[General Topics] electech13:
See my responses below about options.

I have a Nexus6 as well, can't complain but still on this Note4 as my daily.

This is good too.. I only had use of one for 8 weeks but one of the best phones I have ever used, much to my surprise.

Yep! AT&T is just crazy and too controlling locking their stuff down.

Many have bought a different variant and use on AT&T.

I would do that if I were you but I assume you are stuck to buying from them for subsidy reasons?

S5 is also pretty damn good and has what you need.. I can't go back in screen size though now that I'm used to 5.7"+ and the TW is horrible on it but that's easily fixed with root and rom ;)

---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 PM ----------

Gotta agree with you.

I always want the removable battery and SD. But with people wanting this feature and that feature and increasingly wanting everything to be as thin and compact as humanly possible, well it forces out some other stuff..

The SD slot.. Although cheap takes up valuable real estate in some phones.. But heck I'd love two if them as well just like you. And USB ports..

The removable battery affects the form factor and casing and waterproofing, etc, etc so it's just a long mess..

If it were easy and affordable then OEM's would make the perfect phone with everything (but perfect is very subjective).. But I've longed for a phone that has big screen w/high res, highest end soc, front facing speakers, removable battery, micro usb2 or 3 and micro hdmi , ip67 water proofing, good fingerprint reader... All the bells and whistles in one! All in a nice package of course.. But manufacturers laugh at that and we likely will never see it.. And if so it would be low production custom jobbie that costs a small fortune...

But as you said people "accept" what's out there and buy these other phones, lacking many things and buy them in monster numbers so why will OEM's change?

And the SD stuff.. I'm sure you are aware this started two years back with Google all but forcing OEM's to stop putting SD slot in phones.. They want to in essence, force people to use the(ir) cloud! Thankfully some phones didn't do it and some others are coming back.. Forget the cloud! And the time and data transfers it uses! And as well, for emerging markets it's much more important for them to have Expandable store *locally* on the device as those people can't access the cloud as easily and their connections and data limits are much more restricted..
[General Topics] DroidinAndStuff:
The S5 would be the only choice for me. Active or otherwise. They're rootable and maybe safestrap will work with th S5 soon.

I just sold a ruby S5 Active and it was really a nice device. If I had att service, I'd still have it even though I kinda like the slimmer S5 better.

The S5 feels huge compared to a 3 or 4, both in UI and performance.. My N4 in a otterbox is HUGE and the S5 is about as large as you can go with an otterbox type case and stuff in a man's shirt pocket.

A N3 would be a close call too and market demand for them has seemed to firm up as N4 demand has appeared to soften. I gave 450 for my nearly NIB vzw N4, plus extras with a Neo2.... I've gotten some perfect S5's for 250 or less....

[General Topics] Saiyans:
I've got the LG G2. It's seriously the most amazing phone I've ever owned. It is unmatched in it's screen to body ratio, great internals, good camera, and incredibly low priced! I can't find anything that actually comes close in performance and size (with such a great screen size). The only thing I'd consider is the G4 if they manage to keep it as small as the G2 small.
[General Topics] Planterz:
The current pricing on the G2 is an absolute bargain. I came damn close to buying one, but went with a OnePlus One instead. Part of me still wants to pick one up (for when I want to pocket something smaller), but I can't justify what would be a frivolous expenditure.

The G4 will be closer in size to the G3, having a 5.5" screen and all. Still remarkably compact given its screen size.

I feel the same way.

I do have to give (a little) credit to Sammy and the S6 (Edge). It is pretty damn sweet and they did something drastic (in relation to their norm). I've held both and played with the Edge yesterday.. It really is very nice.. Feels amazing and premium (finally samsung).. It's super thin, although I think that's getting out of hand.. Would rather have thicker phone with bigger battery. The screen is amazing (just like my Note4)..TW is actually bearable lol! And toned down a bit... Runs super fast. The camera is incredible and better then the Note4..i can live without the removable battery I suppose but always want the extra storage options.. So that sucks so if I were to get one would absolutely have to be the 128gb model..

Lastly, it being Exynos will hurt development and that's a big one for me.. But bottom line is its a good phone and I'm sure many will buy it even at the high price and the Edge model turns heads wherever you go.. It really does look good.. Almost partially 3d in a way.. There is depth to everything and the UI does it in a way to make thing move left, right and up or out toward the screen..

5.7"+ just doesn't seem that big to me at all anymore (and never really did mind you).. But then again I'm a big guy with big hands so it's all relative..
