[Galaxy Note 4 General] J_Bone:
Any thoughts on community support? I know we (consumers) sometimes focus only on the negatives when our expectations weren't met but with the comments about the 4 not being much of a step up from the 3, do you think this will hurt the support? The 3 seems to have a great base.

I will be coming from the S3, so any phone I get will be a big upgrade for me. Now there seems to be a question about whether the difference in price of buying a 4 instead of a 3 should be considered. The G3 can be had WAY cheap right now as well.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ohbreeeezy:
my reason? my note 1 need to retire
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senseijuan:
Buying it for its amazing hardware

interested on the Quad HD as welll as the 0% to 50% in just 30 minutes super charge fast makes me want to buy it need a fast charging device like Note 4

I don't have even a single note. That's the reason enough ;)

[Galaxy Note 4 General] dr.ketan:
Just buying it bcoz big fan of note series and love to contribute something I can.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] iamkris:
This device is going to be fantastic. Touchwiz has been improving all this time and the note4 can only be better than the note3 IMO.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] IamIrene:
phone too old time to change :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RISHI RAJ:
Hey Doc will we getting exynos version like always? Is it a worthy upgrade from Note 3?What will you do of yours Note 3:D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dr.ketan:
There are two version so likely Samsung will keep same policy and promote exynos for India.

I will go with majority. I regret purchasing exynos last time bcoz of smaller community. Mostly purchasing SD then I will go with it. Regarding worthy update, according specification leaked it shows not much upgraded but as I said above I am fan of note series so will update as soon as available.

If daughter like to keep note3 then will give it to her otherwise will sell it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] aukhan:
I am 100% sure that doc is getting his note4 may be even note edge.

Obviously we will be getting exynos processor no doubt.

In terms of upgrade its sure for an upgrade but as you own note 3 I would suggest you to wait till price drops or if your well enough to bare the expenses you may ho ahead.

I am sure all the n4 features will soon be ported for your device in no time as soon as the sammobile makes the dump available.

So wait for setime and take a wise desicion as I own a note 2 I am surely gonna upgrade to n4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] HDKORP:
Though I want to get the Note 4 or Edge on Day 1, I will most likely wait until the first price drop or BOGO deal comes around. Upgrading from the S3, there are numerous reasons to upgrade the Note line.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RISHI RAJ:
You,yourself are a community :D.Do you have your sources abroad for sd version

---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

Yup,ill definitely wait.Even if I can buy it,I will not coz they drop the prices very early which is very dissapointing
[Galaxy Note 4 General] awilson77584:
I bought (kind of... The US mkt's 2 year indentured servitude plan) my S3 right after the S3 came out reasoning that the specs weren't that different and the S3 had a very low entry price. Now there is an S5 and my S3 (running SlimKat) feels sluggish with the current apps that assume a higher performing device. This time, I'm going for the new device with the best available specs... //smile
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dr.ketan:
I will go this time with SD rather than Exynos as 4G should be there in India before we get Note5. Big obstacle in porting Note4 features will be OS bcoz Note4 should come packed with 4.4.4 and It's difficult to say whether Note2 will get it ever. Regarding features there is no much difference than N3/S5 so I don't think N2 community will miss much. Regarding theming there shouldn't be issue for themer even OS is different.

Lol !

I am planning to buy it from UAE as last time I did for N3. Yes I have friend circle there in UAE too but it's very near to India so not a big issue to make a small weekend holiday trip to UAE and get N4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] aukhan:
Agreed Doc, I wish you can get one for me, If your purchasing from UAE let me know from where so I can inform my cousin to send it over its cheaper as compared to indian market.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dr.ketan:
Sure just remind me when it is available.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ghawyhob:
hey dr

will u buy snapdragon or exyon and what is better
[Galaxy Note 4 General] js0uth:
only reason i would buy this phone is if i was still on the note 2.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] N1NJATH3ORY:
Anyone know the launch date for the GNOTE4 UK ? And any word on pricing ?

---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 PM ----------

Snapdragon will have more dev support as its most likely to be released Europe and north America, exynos is baddass but most likely it will be only released in Asia. So if you wont true customization get the snapdragon, if your not bothered about mods and stuff get the exynos but be careful with the exynos as that sucker will most likely only support LTE A most countries don't even have true LTE ket alone LTE A...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RMXO:
Besides everything that is listed, I'm getting the Note 4 so I can try it out with the VR once its released.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] birne1234:
I would also upgrade from my s4 to the Note 4 Edge :D

Love the bigger screen and these S features
[Galaxy Note 4 General] godofawesome90:
I've already set aside the funds for a sprint note 4!!! The only downside I see is it's not ip67 water resistant like the s5. I'm guessing it's a little difficult to do seeing there is a port for the s pen whereas the s5 doesn't have one.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] knarfies:
i guess i dont understand why people feel the note 4 is not much of an upgrade from the note 3. Not only does it have a QHD display with over 500 pixels, but the camera is better with OIS, the front camera is bigger and better, some things people may not care about is the fingerprint scanner and heart rate sensor but i heard the fingerprint sensor can help lock down certain apps on your phone like the gallery. thats something i definitely want. We finally get a metal frame on the phone for a "premium" feel since so many people complained about it and now everyones disappointed. Fast charging mode is a huge step forward in technology as i havent heard of anyone incorporating that in their devices as of yet. I was saddened that we dont have water resistance but its not an end all for me. So far from what I've seen, this is a huge step forward for Samsung. They finally took their best features and made them better instead of cramming as much as they can into a device just to say they did. Isnt that what everyone wanted in the first place? Was to prefect an already fantastic phone? HTC front speakers..... i hope never happens. Id rather the money spent on the device go towards other features instead. I probably use my phone speakers 1% of the time as im always paired to one device or another. 64 bit yes, would be cool but ive yet to see any benefits that people have gained by it.

Just my 2 cents
[Galaxy Note 4 General] alpinesun:
I'm up in the air about purchasing. I loved my Note 3 while I had it, but I'm such a root junky I got tired of the locked down and limited dev options so I switched to the M8 when it came out. Now I kind of miss my bigger screen, removable battery, and S Pen; not to mention this new one has an improved camera with optical image stabilization. My M8 can't beat that with a stick. The only other contender is the xperia z3 for its waterproofing... But I believe the Note may be the victor in this phone buying battle.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] barondebxl:
Like MKBHD said, once the Note 4 is released and ppl get to hold the device they will go crazy for it. Until then its gonna be a lot of crying.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mchi5:
My main reason to get the Note 4 is.... It's completely free for me! My employer gives us an allowance yearly for a new phone and mine is up on October 12...perfect timing!

But main reasons I wouldn't upgrade is because the note 3 is still awesome and the best phone I've ever used and still capable of doing everything I need it to, and having to buy all new accessories for the note 4, like cases

[Galaxy Note 4 General] frankgreimes:
Personally I love it but that damn SD 810 - which will for sure be in the S 6 - has me on the verge although I don't think I'll ever need that much power in a smartphone, since I don't see the benefits of 64 bit on my pc yet..

What I love about the phone:

- premium build

- removable battery

- finally an over the top SAmoled QHD screen

- improved S Pen

- Mont Blanc accessoires

Sadly my TF 300 is a bit aging so if I could use this for taking notes at college I think it's worth it. Wanted to buy the TF 701 too but the keyboard connect issues have me very worried so.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tfly212:
Have had the Note II since it came out and I definitely feel like it is wearing down a bit (reacts a little slower, charging can be spotty, battery life isn't quite what it used to be, etc) so I will likely upgrade. I really hope there is some good dev support or at the very least a root exploit early on. I have been spoiled by Beans on my current device.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hello00:
nothing new..waiting for nexus x
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tw1n5nak35:
I like the nice quad display resolution. But I pre ordered my note 3 last year and I'm loving it up until I upgraded to kit kat 4.4.2 from jellybean 4.3. My battery performance does not equal to what I was getting on jelly bean and my signal is worse than before. Early adopters will have to wait for root access unless towelroot will work right off the bat, then recovery and then roms.

But I love my note 3 and I do like what the note4/edge offer. So I might take the leap next year when the note 5 will come out. I will use my note3 till it fails and the performance drops, just like my droid bionic before getting the note 3. It's good to see lot's of users interested or not interested in the phone. It's pretty good geek/nerd conversation. But for me, I'm waiting for note 5 next year :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pego99:
I have a s4 but I want more system memory and I would have gone a s5 but the promised 32 gig model never appeared thanks Samsung I am sure the note 4 will have 32gig and I will get one but I wish the screen size was a little smaller but the ois camera and stylus will be nice
[Galaxy Note 4 General] N1NJATH3ORY:
Why not just pick up a micro sd card ? If you got low storage ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] NeoMorpheus1337:
extra poll entry needed.

Currently have a vzw note 3. Briefly, had a N3 DE.

After the DE fiasco, ( no restore IMG, no updates, horrible warranty, non existent support from Samsung and sky high price), I won't get one, no matter the version.

Or as noted by others, KK update made their notes 3 worse, reception wise.

First and last Note I would get, must likely, will be getting a Moto X.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] naimmkassim:
My reason is only one..the screen..i had a bad experiance on my note 3..it all grey and greenish angle issue..?..hope note 4 got a better screen!!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pego99:
I clearly said system memory. I have a 64gig micro card but that is not system memory.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ar216893:
Well, my reason is I'm upgrading from S4. Actually, I'm upgrading to Xperia z2 but it's product quality and service center in my country make me notwant those anymore. So I go to note 4 because it's metal frame and 64 bit exynoss attract me. If it's not 64bit as said by alot ppl. Then I cancel my upgrade to note 4. Lol
[Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
all of the above poll options! owned note 2 and note 3 and cant wait to own note 4!!!!

i will get the note 4 dev edition if it is locked again which im sure it will be on verizon!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] N1NJATH3ORY:
My bad i didn't realize you said system memory!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] slyjai:
The Galaxy N4 is a beautiful device. I love the added metal and QHD display. It charges up to 50% in 30 minutes from 0% battery, sweet. The s-pen is supposed to be more responsive which is a plus. I love my s5 and the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 with its QHD display, but there is nothing like having a Note. You know it is going to get tons of support from developers. Win Win.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rushless:
If you mean more flash storage I agree, but see zero need for 3gb ram with a 1080p device. S4 has been a good trooper for me.

If I can get a Note 3 for $500 new, I might get that instead of the 4.

Apparently same battery life and performance.

Display is still great.

USB 3

$300 less..... If I can get the 3 for $500....
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mty msi:
I feel the exact same way. I can get a Note 3 for $99 on a 2yr upgrade and I'm sure the Note 4 will be at least $300. Note 4 is definitely a nicer phone than the 3 but I don't think I can justify paying at least 3 times as much for it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] KidCarter93:
I'll be picking up the Note 4 at some point, probably after a few months. As I've already got the Note 3 and am still happy enough with it, I'll probably just wait for a few months (as already mentioned) and then grab one and use it alongside my M7. I can then have my Note 3 purely as a backup in case it's needed.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Strategist:
I think the two big improvements are the camera and screen.

The camera not only has OIS, it has a larger sensor and aperture compared to the Note 3 which should mean better indoors photos and the samples we have seen seem to support this. OIS matters for videos as well and the extra microphones will mean better sound recording. The front camera is also improved.

The Note 4 is probably also the first major phone to get QHD right. The G3 was first

but it had problems with contrast, battery and performance. The GS5 Lte-a got it right and presumably the Note 4 will be similar but with a bigger screen and wider availability. It will perhaps be the best smartphone screen ever by a significant margin.

Beyond that the improved S-pen, faster charging and metal frame should be good.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] subcola:
I will buy note 4 just because I like the newest and the best. I like the screen and 64bit cpu. But if google releases nexus 6 or x whatever it will be called I might go with nexus just because of android L which has 64 bit support. I remember I didn't get kitkat on note 3 until january 2014.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] robzuki:
I can't deal with the locked bootloader on my xperia z1s anymore. Also, Nobody mentioned category 6 lte.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] herpi:
[MENTION=344715]Knarf[/MENTION]les,

Pffff, you really are stimulating me to buy the 4. I have the 3 and till now (starting from the Nokia 9100 hundred years ago) this has been the peferct tool for me.

Never seen a stable phone like this one.

So I will sell my scooter and by the 4.

Huib
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cybermessiah:
Ive had the Note 1 (original Note)..and I think its one of the best phones Samsung ever released. I've thrown every Rom imaginable at it and its now on KK still performing well.

I really feel that often when a company produces a first gen device...they put their all into it and then subsequent gens get cheaper looking...I thought this with the Note 2 and 3...I really thought they look cheaper than the original Note (which in my view was simple and elegant.)

Finally it seems, Sammy has realized that now that the market is so saturated with phones..people are going to start considering more seriously the build quality and construction materials as well as the internal specs....very happy that they upped the build quality of the chassis. Also OIS for the camera, finally! Ive got terribly shaky hands when it comes to taking pics and OIS is a definite must for me.

By now, the Note 4 for me, will be a nice upgrade coming from the original Note..though I will miss the Aspect ratio of the Note 1 (which is more true to tablet form). Still...cant wait :good::good:

Yep.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pierrekid:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] nick2k:
i currently have the Note 2. i figure it's time to upgrade (which it will be). plus that Gear VR is just too damn sexy.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SaschaHa:
To the question if 64 bit or not. Look at this: https://translate.google.com/transl...23/4912030/1/rv/samsung-galaxy-note-4-review/

Exynos 5433 is ARM v7 and still 32 bit. All old graphics which suggest that its A57 and A53 based (64 bit) are fakes or lack of knowledge. Galaxy Alpha with Exynos 5430 is still 32 bit, so we can suppose the 5433 to be 32 bit as well but with only a few changes.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Magnesus:
Exynos 5433 is almost certainly 64-bit A57+A53. Someone found in another thread that its part number is the same as code number of 64-bit ARM. It will use armv7 probably because it will use 32-bit Android at least for now.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Att.Fan1982:
I currently have the note 2 as a backup device and use the note 3 with my gear 2 as my daily driver. I plan on buying the note edge with the gear s but won't do so until a stable root method and roms are released for the devices. I want the note edge simply because of the side display. I see that being so useful and an appealing/show off feature ☺
[Galaxy Note 4 General] AndroidNoob22:
The only reasons I need for upgrade can be hardware upgrades and mainly screen, the screen of Note 3 was not that good (in my opinion) the screen had an bad yellowish hue (thought a screen defect at first but even after 7 replacements I got the same thing so had to live with it) and those red used to turn orange even with a slight angle shift, and not to that mention purple smearing :3 just hope this has got better in the Note 4's display and I am on for an upgrade :cool:. *fingers crossed*
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nlanter95:
I've wanted a Note since the first one came out and my contract just ended a couple months ago :victory:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BoBBBBBBBO:
I sold my Note 2 just about a month ago and I'm so looking forward to buy the Note 4. My reasons are:

Note 2: 720p display, plastic build, 8MP Camera, 3100 mAh battery, 2GB RAM.

Note 4: 2k display, metal build, 16MP Camera with OIS, 3220 mAh battery, 3GB RAM.

I just still don't know which version of the Note 4 to get, the Exynos or the Snapdragon 805..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SaschaHa:
Can't see any difference in sharpness between my Note 2's Camera photos and Note 4 photos. To my mind 100% crops from Note 2 looks even better than them from S5 or Note 4. Seems to me that Samsung created a new algorithm for saving jpg files (with more compression and less quality). What's your opinion?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
Gear VR. The other things definitely don't hurt, but I really want a wireless oculus rift. :good:;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] vampyren:
Exactly this!

And your point about the speakers is so true, i hate it when people keep talking about that as if its a good thing! It takes space and its not that useful. I also use headphones pretty much all the time (in the bus, train, work etc).

I will be getting the Note4 myself (to be released in Sweden OCT 5th). It like the regular one more then the edge, i thin edge is cool but not practical in the day to day use and when holding it. Also the VR only works with the regular version.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] joelteixeira:
It's an amazing upgrade, some ppl just can't stop whining and crying right after a release. But for one, I wouldn't mind to get the front speakers. ✌
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
+100000000000 for better front speakers!:good:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Jammol:
I think a lot of people complain about it not being an upgrade because they just purchased the previous model less than a year ago, so they find it hard(because it is expensive), to pay another $600+ on a new phone when the one they have is probably only a few months old.

Most people just need to stop trying to keep up with the Jones.

Is the Note 3 still a bad ass phone....hell yes.

Is the Note 4 a worthy upgrade for someone who can afford it.....hell yes.

Is the Note 4 worth the money for someone who has a Note 3 and not enough money to just splurge on get the Note 4.....Hell NO!

Leave the Jones alone with their money!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jasonleb1:
The screen, camera, SPen, etc were all reasons I've always wanted a Note but the new build will be the real reason I will finally pull the trigger (as long as it comes out before the Mate 7). I could never stand the craptastic plastic Samsung used but with that no longer being an issue there isn't anything holding me back.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rushless:
I think it is perspective. If due an upgrade, or have the money to splurge, have at it :)

If not due for and upgrade, already have a N3 and/or have to pay full price, makes complete sense to whine and cry. I am jealous already, since will either keep my S4 and buy an Alienware 13 in November, or get the Note 4.

Seems keeping my S4 and getting the Alienware 13 is a better package option than just a Note 4. The Note 4 should cost only $100 less than the starting price of the A 13..... The N4 sure looks purtee though :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] knarfies:
I guess that makes sense. Maybe I've just been spoiled with always doing the EIP payments with tmobile and then selling my devices for the amount i still owed after a year and getting the newer model. now with the jump program, i dont have to spend the time trying to sell my devices. i just give them back. Definitely love tmobile for this.
