[Galaxy Note 4 General] cosinav:
I will most probably upgrade to the note 4 for the sake of having the latest but honestly, I feel it's an incremental upgrade only, nothing significant or revolutionary. However, it is increasingly difficult and competitive for manufacturers to come up with a revolutionary flagship device every year. I mean how many more ideas are not tapped yet given how saturated the smartphone market is? It will be a great upgrade for note 2 users but not substantial for note 3 users, mine is still serving me very well.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Andrewtst:
I like every part of Note 4 compare with Note 3 except the speaker placement. Why oh why Samsung you move the speaker back to back!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Zanr Zij:
Maybe! It depend on N4 battery life
[Galaxy Note 4 General] CLARiiON:
People keep talking about USB 3.0 as if you are going to miss a very important feature.

Uses of USB 3.0 was fast charging and higher data transfer rate.

Guess what, Note 4 can charge fast enough (Adaptive Fast Charging & Quick Charge 2.0).

As for better data transfer, just use a Airdroid, ES File Explorer or tons of other utilities. You guys are acting as if you lost some indispensable feature.

Don't forget using USB 3.0 used to interfere with radio and connector was bulky. Let it go, you guys sound like a broken record.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
like ive said before it cant be worse then the crap speaker on bottom last year on n3
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rushless:
If wanting a one hand friendly device, I would understand, but other than that the Note 4 has a much better display, better performance and about two hours more battery life than the G3. The N3 already is better with performance and battery life. I would pick the N3 over the G3 for same reasons.

I think the G3 display is a power sucking, resource hogging low contrast demon. JMO.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Pat.:
I think Samsung told their design team to make the same size phone with a slightly bigger screen & there was a mix up & they made a slightly bigger phone with the same size screen :D

My contract ends soon but I'm not itching to get the note 4 ....
[Galaxy Note 4 General] iB4STiD:
eh, i'll give the note 4 a shot.. why not ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mchief298:
I believe so. 801 to 805 snapdragon.. Slight performance increase and better thermal management. Better screen quality? Eh. I'll see how the battery lasts with that. Supposedly enhanced S Pen? From what I've read, the note 4 pen is far more responsive and accurate, which is awesome for me. 13mp to 16mp camera with OIS. Hopefully it's better than what the note 3 gave me, with awful stabilization. Better front facing camera for Skype and video chat. It's more than just "incremental"..

Not to mention, the USB 3.0 was just unnecessary bulk imo. So, I'm glad they went back to 2.0.

Also, benchmarks are just numbers. Real world performance is what matters.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] CZ Eddie:
Since I already have a Note 3, I'm struggling to find a genuine reason to upgrade to the Note 4.

I want the brighter screen, but it's not THAT much brighter in real life (based on sunlight tested videos I've seen so far).

I'm disappointed the bezels and weight have grown in size.

The 805 processor won't be super useful until Android 5 is released.

And I won't want to migrate to Android 5 until Xposed Framework and modules are all upgraded to work for it, which will be many, many many months from now. And if ART is the only option, then who knows if it'll ever work.

Plus, we're just months away from cellphones using super chargers where you get a full charge in like 15 minutes.

Motorola is getting ready to announce their first one any day now. I think it's called the "Turbo Charger" or something like that?

And, I really want a 5.5" phone like the G3.

I'd have bought that phone if the screen were brighter and it had a glove-mode available.

Gheez, your 'thanks' count has blown up since the last time I saw your name back on the S4 forums.

You're on ATT like me. I'm assuming you would grab a TMO phone to use on your ATT account since the Note 4 will be bootloader locked?

---------- Post added at 11:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 PM ----------

And the rear speaker... that just pisses me off.

BUT, if a Google Edition N4 is released then I'll jump on that.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] iB4STiD:
yes lol, ive been keeping busy :p.. ya thats the plan btw.. tired of att in alot of ways .. if TMO doesnt pull any crap .. im leaving att and picking up a note 4 :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SaschaHa:
The real world performance seems to be a lot better than on all other previous Note and S devices. No stuttering though the high resolution display.

To my mind the Exynos variant is very interesting because of its 20 nm and the 4+4 architecture.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rushless:
Unless you have plenty of disposable income, it seems the Note 4 is not a big enough jump from the already and still great Note 3 (if paying full price, or above $300 for trade).

Should have same battery life and performance. I only really see the display being the difference, but I find the Note 3 display great already.

As far as better thermals for the gpu per Anandtech, the heat is the same as the 800/801 since pushing to a lot more pixels.

This is the same silicon fab as the S600, 800 and 801. 28nm.

Seems best to wait for the 64bit 20nm devices next year. Note 3 still stands up well.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mchi5:
You forgot the optic image stabilization. . May not sound like much but any improvement in picture quality I'm all for.

I want to see and play with the Note 4 in person before I decide to get it but I'll likely end up getting it
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Delakit:
The proper question - and this was posted in the wrong section too - would be "Do YOU THINK." Opinions don't beget facts. However, regardless of how delusional one might be, the Note 4 IS an upgrade.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Dan1909:
The whole "do you think" part of the question is obviously implied, and really doesn't need to be stated.

If it did, then everything we post, everything we write, every message we send would need to have a declaration that it's out opinion. But we don't write that, as it goes without saying.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] :
I think the two biggest reasons to upgrade can't be appreciated till the phone is held. I had the g3 and everyone said the QHD display wouldn't make a difference but it did you could see the extra quality although it was very dim and sucked battery life.

The two reasons which will effect most people will be the QHD display and the feel of the phone I don't care what anyone says you can't beat picking up a metal phone on a cold day and feeling the cold of the metal. The back speaker is also an improvement for me because the amount of time my fingers covered to speaker on the bottom of the note 3 was very frustrating
[Galaxy Note 4 General] LBJM:
Yes it does, if you are switching from Android to IOS any self respecting geek would laugh at that. You are going from an Open system to a locked down walled garden with so many limitations. Samsung's commercial calling the iPhone users wall huggers is so funny. Non user replaceable batteries just don't make sense on something that's supposed to be portable, if Samsung can make the S5 water resistant and still have a user replaceable battery it proves Apple is just being lazy. Not making the the note 4 not meet an exceed the S5 and note 3 is Samsung being lazy. It's a non upgrade just based on my prior sentence. In my opinion it's not even an upgrade over the note 2 with a zerolemon battery. I own both the note 2 and note 3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] barondebxl:
So what phone I get next is your business? Okay then. You're just gonna have to deal with it.

There's a good chance that I have owned more android phones that you ever did. But thankfully I like tech in general and like trying different things. As of now I'm using a windows phone then ill jump to IOS and then ill get the note 4 or nexus 6. That's the beauty if being open minded and not be silly fanboyish.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] theorioles33:
I just hope the camera is better which it sounds like it is. I loved my Note 3 but ended up selling it when I got the OnePlus One. I wouldn't have sold it if the Note 4 wasn't around the corner though. The OnePlus is an awesome device regardless of its price. Takes great pics too. I couldn't take a decent pic for the life of me with the Note 3. I tried everything. Could user error but I take awesome pics with the 1+. I am looking forward to having my beast again. I'm the person that upgrades every year regardless if its worth it or not. I just like having the latest and I have nothing better to spend my money on. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] LBJM:
It sounds to me like you have an addiction. Why are you buying so many phones? Microsoft has a history of poor support for their OSes, I wouldn't touch their garbage. You should probably get a HTC M8 instead of a nexus 6, my galaxy nexus was a disappointment in terms of battery life. I heard you can dual boot Android and WP with it. Owning more phones is not an achievement unless you are counting credit card points. This goes back to a prior user says your opinion didn't count and it seems like you did not even enjoy your note 3 to begin with.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] barondebxl:
Once again, none of your business. But I can tell you what I'm wearing today or who I'm having sex with if you wanna know details.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Megaflop666:
Okay, let's bring the maturity level back up in here. Who cares who has owned the most phones or who has done what.

This thread was laid out for people to express their opinion on the Note 4 vs the Note 3. If you want to discuss your clothes or sex, goto facebook, if you want to discuss your choice to go iOS, head on over to an apple forum, other than that, let's quit the stupid bickering before the mods come shut down this thread.

We all have an opinion and we're entitled to it when someone asks like was done here.

Is the Note 4 an upgrade over the Note 3? nah, it's Samsung trying to get a bunch of money before the end of the fiscal year. Is it better than a lot of the phones out there? Hell yes it is, ijunk 6 doesn't even come close, Nexus needs to bring better game with the 6, LG is getting close but needs to step up, and so on down the line... but over the Note 3? Nah, not an upgrade.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
well, I skipped the note 3 after the note 2, because it didn't seem that much better to me at the time.

for someone like me, it IS an upgrade, going to the 4 after having a 2.

I doubt I would bother with a note 4 if I had a working note 3, but I like to try something different each time, and not get the "same" phone twice in a row

Hell, if someone gave me a Iphone 6+ for free, I would use it, and jailbreak it just to see what it could do.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sanjsrik:
If you skipped the Note 3, yes, going to the 4 is an upgrade.

Ioved my note 3 but the speaker on that phone really sucked IMO. When someone offered to trade me a HK edition M8 i jumped on it. The sound on this phone is amazing. Both the display and design are stunning. I have 3 lines all upgrade eligible. Ill have to wait and see it in person before i pull trigger.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] sanjsrik:
Planned obsolescence

Actually, what you're talking about is planned obsolescence and it doesn't hold water, your theory, that is. Planned obsolescence means that they make things that will break down, run out, and so on. It started just before world war 2 in germany where there was a conglomerate of light bulb manufacturers who actually took light bulbs from 2500 usable hours and downgraded them to 1000 usable hours and had a secret pact that if anyone made lightbulbs that lasted longer than 1000 hours, they'd be fined.

You can make a product, but there will ALWAYS be room for improvement. What everyone seems to be complaining about is that Samsung released a product that doesn't have any real "upgrade" feel to it:

* the screen is the same size

* the battery is minimally better

* no real processor upgrade

* no UI or OS improvements that make it stand out

Samsung had the opportunity to make this a real competitor to the new iPhone, that was what everyone was expecting, instead, it really is a letdown and it fell flat on its face because it doesn't deliver any of the "new" wow technology that was expected.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] fatboypup:
Said no1 ever
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
So, samsung "should have"

reduced their screen size/resolution/pixel count

changed their interface to a bunch of icons in rows

lowered the ram to 1 gig

introduced a keyboard that Swipes

changed their camera housing so it now sticks out of the back, making it impossible for the phone to lie flat

made a UI that you can turn to landscape

These are some of the "new wow" technologies that Apple just made a big deal about..

I guess if Samsung would have "regressed" a few years, then yes, they would then be a competitor to the Ibone 6
[Galaxy Note 4 General] schlepprock:
Apples to oranges bro.. I'm not talking planned obsolescence, so it breaks, we're talking about amenities and features.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
you sir are on crack
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sanjsrik:
Do you actually see your justifications for spending another $700 on a device that is minimally an "upgrade"? LOL, I'm guessing new tires on a car make it a new car.

This is just too much of a pointless debate to make a difference. I'm not getting a Note 4, if you are, good for you. I don't put a stripe on a car and say it's a new car. I'm unsubscribing from this thread.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
hahaha well when you sell the old note 3 for $595 so technically its only $150 ish once you figure in tax so yes its worth every penny thank you

new tires on a car make it a new car? that is like putting on a new case and saying you have a new phone. you are smoking something. the right comparison would be a model year 2014 car model and then a new 2015 car model with slight upgrades and yes its worth more money it happens every year. they dont make the car perfect the next year. baby steps. you have a lot to learn
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:

Anybody that pays $595 for a used N3 that lists for $599 new is nuts.

Average eBay price for a used mint N3 is less than $400. This will go lower as the N4 gets closer to release.

Depends on the build quality for me. My Samsung N3 is so **** I wish I never brought.

In terms of upgrades from N3 to N4 there ain't that much in it. Higher res and spen upgrades.

CPU upgrade is minimal (was expecting 64bit process)

Still no LED flash but at least they put a OIS on the camera (about f***ing time Samsung)

3GB ram and same battery

At the mo I can't see myself spend another $1000 on a Note

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Curious D:
Hi. I was wondering if there was a program that can link to the Bluetooth headset to give the time. I don't have Voicedialer or MS Voice Command. It seems that the headset can do voice dial with the current voice recognition for my 8125. I was wondering if there was a program or a way to state "Time" and have it give the time. Or perhaps instead of the beep that precedes giving the voice entry could be changed to give the time.

(I'm not much into wearing watches and have used my phone as a watch. However, pulling out the 8125 isn't as easy as my old flip phone).
