I have the same temptation because i know for a fact that if you are looking for just a phone that just works as a phone and offers the bigger screen for browsing and media then you can't go wrong with iPhone 6+ and thats about it. However if you are looking for more than just a phone then Note 3/4 will offer powerful multitasking, and spen that comes handy when a pen is needed. I own a note 3 and i have been using it for one year now. Its a damn powerful device. Can you f****ing connect a 1 TB hard drive directly to a phone? Note 3 can. When you are stuck and you are looking for a pen to take a note or a phone number. But again i do have to give credit to apple's customer service and uniqueness. What i hate about Samsung is having different models and different specs for the same phone which i really hate. I feel so jealous when i walk in a mall and i see apple store where they offer support. Samsung on the other hand are extremely bad service and the lack of spell check on the fly are two main things that Samsung is missing. IPhone is just a pc of mind, you know what you are getting. Note or samsung not really. Because things sometimes work and sometimes does not like the gestures they offer. Even the new multi select feature i am sure it will work on some apps and other apps will not be supported. Things like that. I just hope that Samsung learn from apple on the way they deliver something fully functional.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] papakaliati:
Well sorry, but they are not. They offer a hell of more options, that for sure, but for someone that wants their phones to work, and that doesn't include just casual users, it also includes ex power users , like myself that just don't have the time any more to spent hours on finding and testing new firmwares and want their phones just to work.

But i can't do that namely on Note, because i find the UI hideous, so i am trapped on spending those endless rooting and testing and testing again.

And concerning the apps, thats the most important factor on a smartphone, iOs is years ahead. Its surprising how much better the same applications look on iOs than on Android...

They just offer different experiences.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] darthmaul40:
I can agree with your line of thinking. I went to look at the I - phone 6 Plus and although I thought in some areas it would work more consistently I could not give up the use of my S-Pen which I love. I have been in meetings at work and suddenly realised that I should be taking notes and I am able to do them right then and there with the S-Pen and because it I do it with the handwriting recognition people are so fascinated. So for now I will stick with the Note series (probably Note-EDGE) but I do think that Samsung could learn more about how the whole package works together much better.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] aleksandardespotovikj:
1+ for Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nabobcoffee:
I can't agree more. I can't remember the amount of hours/days just to try different look or different ROMs. And that's one thing that is tempting me to switch. But i will have to wait and try the new UI and 4.4.4. but my only concern is that the iPhone doesn't deserve this price tag due to the simplicity. But again because i am a power user i will always try to jailbreak the iphone lol and then i am back in that endless loop.

i agree on that , i use so many time flashing and upgrading and removing all the bloatware just to make it clean as hell and all over that i lose my warrenty , i live here in dk and we never get update we do but it take so long for them to add the update. iphone u simply update the phone and done ! i just wished they make a google edition note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 General] han4mi:
You guys should check out the full size photos, which are available for download. The note 4 camera blows the iPhone's one away! Especially can see the difference when it comes to color and detail!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] saifullah90:
hardware note 4 kicks all smartphones ass , but we are talking about the software that is a big down for me
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BerndM14:
Software - Can be fixed with new updates that are rolled out and improved easily.

Hardware - Well you're stuck until they either release a new 6s or 6ss or 6mega(s)++infinity or you keep on dragging butt with crap hardware.

:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] saifullah90:
yes but thats the problem , they never fix there software only when the release a new device, how many time did samsung updated there touchwizz or other stock software? never thats the problem
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BerndM14:
How often did Apple update their hardware specs?

They released the first Iphone with a 3.5" screen, they only upraded that with the Iphone 5 and pushed it to a whopping 4" :eek:

If anything the only hardware changes they make are "minor" to say the least, they build a nonsense OS to work on crap Hardware. Where as Samsung on other hand has crap UI to run on excellent hardware. They can at least improve that aspect, Apple on the other can't. Why should they? They have a blatantly illiterate consumer base that buys in accordance to 1 of 2 criteria.

1) How popular would I be if I bought this vs an Android device?

2) How patriotic would I be?

I'd rather have the hardware and get software to run on it than have software and not have the hardware to run it on! :rolleyes:

But seeing as you only point out the software issue of Samsung(minor in the least) and not the hardware issue of Apple it seems you already made up your mind as to which device you want as you clearly only prefer to consciously find fault with 1 and not the other.

Good luck with your Iphone 6.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] electrofryed:
Which supports my statement. If I want an app that serves a certain function, I can just create one on the open platform that android provides. I don't need to ask master apple for permission. Although it's still nice to see apple changed their mind about competing with the Note 2. Lol

[Galaxy Note 4 General] apprentice:
This is the only time I will give Apple praise (as I hate the company so much) but they do seem to offer better product launches and they do customer service better than Samsung. I love Samsung products but have been treated very badly by the staff at the Experience Store in Westfield London and their estore customer service team over the past few months. If I wasn't so impressed by the phones they produce I would've ditched Samsung in favour of another Android device. Samsung could learn from Apple in this regard. As for their software it's not perfect but they do have some clever innovations.

Get the Xperia Z3 (5'2") or the Z3 Compact (4'6"). It has a very good design and construction materials as the iPhone, the best hardware you could get nowadays and the beneficts of Android, wich for me is far better than iOS. All of them would be a good choice because are excellent phones, but I would choose the Sony.

My personal opinion, apple realized they staying behind, built a phone which spec wise is as same as nexus 4 and still call them the elite phone lol. BC they made of metals don't make em the best haha makes em more fragile and also I don't see ios 8change at all same crap same concept and "widgets" and "apple pay" lol stuff that android already has since ever lol. That said I think apple is a copy cat trying to pretend been the big dogs when they just chihuahas.

By the way lol how is it that apparently apple made news on CNN.com the most displayed device In att.com and perhaps other retailers lol what about Samsung galaxy note 4? In att there is no main page pre order add or anything is all about that iPhone 6. I guess I can say the iphone may suck in specs but sure bought out the retailers and news channels. IDumbies unite!!!

[Galaxy Note 4 General] jaouni:
Dude, thats exactly what happened with me, but instead of a sister, it was a friend of mine. Don't get me wrong, the iP6 is cool, but will never match up to the Note 4. Apple is still a toddler when it comes to big phones, and the reachability thing is a complete joke....

P.s. kudos to Samsung for making Apple copy them, the even copied Sam's website graphics, alongside the screen sizes and the placement of the power button.....

[Galaxy Note 4 General] gavinfabl:
I think we are all wise to the fact that these big ticket websites probably got a freebie iPhone etc... And even if they didn't then they are on the honeymoon period possibly Also, no reviewer would want to slate a product too much. Just think of futures phone releases and not being able to get your next freebie.

However, despite all the above, and over the top celebrations, I do think there is something really lovely about the new iPhones and the Plus. Even if you dont agree with me it doesnt matter, simply Samsung now has a harder job to drive and produce something even better. Competition is a good thing.

I have ordered both phones. The Note 4 and Plus. I currently use a LG G3 and adore it. So good for my tastes. Ultimately, I will move on to the newer tech, so I will have to decide between the Note 4 and Plus, and in my life there are major pluses and minuses for both devices.

I must admit, that before seeing the iPhone 6 Plus, the Note 4 was my next phone. Now I am sitting on the fence until I have both in my hand :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] 2xbass:
I'm currently a Nexus 5 user and looking at the Note 4. I love Android but I do have Mac and an iPod Touch. I just spent a bit of time with the iPhone 6 Plus and I have to admit it's nice but I still think generally iOS sucked compared to Android especially in the customization department.

Did he just say his note 2 was not able to get him through the day? I call BS!

If this is your only source for consumer info, please step into the present and embrace the many benefits of modern technology.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] nabobcoffee:
Samsung is always outdated in terms of OS updates. I own the note 3 and one of the main business feature is the google spell check (just like word where the mistake is underline by red line) which does not exist in any of the Samsung devices. I love my note 3 but what i really hate is the email app and the spell check feature that i mentioned. If Samsung can pay attention to the software bugs and the missing of the key features i would have just not even considered to switch to iPhone. I have not tried an iphone but whenever i ask the following question to some who owns an apple the answer is no. 1. Can you transfer media files without using itunes? Answer:no. 2. Can you send media/song in whatsapp to anyone? Answer: no. 3. Can i connect the phone to external flash drive to backup or transfer files on the fly? Answer : no. So again not sure why apple chose to ignore those basic features. honestly those companies work together and they share what features can each one own. Both are playing a game of chess where it will end in draw. I hate the innovation when the basics are left behind. Lets be honest about this. Give me what you like but dont take away the basic functionality like the email app ****ed app and the spell check and music crappy player and so many builtin apps that i had to leave behind and purchase 3rd party. I was temptrd to run and buy the note 4 but if the basics are not addressed then **** it. Productivity is not just injecting new features rather than fixing and enhancing the basics. i use my phone mainly for email, browsing the net and chatting (whatever app) so i wish that Samsung start from there. I.e. email app.. the samsung correct feature doesn't not work the same way like it does in other apps. Don't me wrong reader i love the note series i had note 2 and now note 3 for one year. But i bet that all of us here are tempted to try out the iphone because of the basics Samsung always misses. i don't want to go into details but i hate it when we start comparing phones by their specs lol. I want someone to compare the usability of their builtin apps not the specs.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gtalum:
I'm prepping my flame-retardant suit for this one. :D

Note 4 vs iPhone 6+ is a reasonable question. I'm making the same choice, though still leaning toward the Note 4. I'm on AT&T, and have no desire to change carriers for a variety of reasons. I also have no desire to pay full price for a phone, so if I get the Note 4 it will almost certainly be locked down. Without root, the Note 4 loses one big advantage over the 6+.

What still keeps me in the Note 4 camp is widgets, multitasking (real widgets and real multitasking, not the gimped versions of those on iPhone 6+), the ability to customize and choose launchers, the screen, the camera, and the removable battery and external memory. It also helps that I don't want to lose what i've paid for in the Android ecosystem. I already went through that once when I transitioned from my iPhone 3G to my Inspire 4G waaaay back in 2011.

That said I played with a 6 Plus in the AT&T store on Saturday when we went to pick up a 6 for my wife ($100 net for a 64 GB, after trading in my wife's 4S), and it is a beautiful device. The interface is well thought out, reducing the stretching I do to use my Note 2. If they'd had one in stock I might have bought one.

Don't get me wrong. I have a Note 2 and it's simply the best smartphone I've ever owned. I hope the Note 4 can meet my expectations from that.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Bruce lee roy:
If it weren't for s pen and it's general utility, I would not have note (most likely nexus). I don't understand why anyone would get note simply for real estate; there seems to be so many other options out there for general consumer. Perhaps apple is right choice for you if all you require is larger screen, simplicity, and basic functions.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gtalum:
Who else combines the screen real estate with the computing power, screen quality, camera, and battery life of the Note series? From what I can see every other phone has some serious compromise involved, which is why I keep coming back around to the Note 4 in my decision-making process.

I haven't touched my S-Pen since maybe the first month that I had my Note 2. Even without the S-Pen it's the best device I've ever owned.

---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------

I should add that I might consider the new Nexus, but if it's based on Moto X and has the same tiny battery it will be a nonstarter. The best device in the world is useless if I can't get through a full day on a charge.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Bruce lee roy:
Oneplus one, acer liquid s2, iPhone 6 plus, lg g3, g2, xperia ultra, note 8, one max... to name a few. And realize often phones outperform the note or are on par because of enhanced software, pen functionality, and tw in general- making "computing power" a moot point.

If I were you, I'd definitely be considering nexus 5 or moto 360.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Squirrel_Master:
What Samsung (and others) needs to do is not allow so much control from individual carriers. I'm sure there's behind the scenes "stuff" going on but this would eliminate some of the delay to their customers.

We live in a "I want it now" day and age and many people will jump ship because that's what Apple offers. I personally don't mind waiting because I prefer what Android offers but can you imagine if Samsung or Android phones in general had concrete release dates for let's say Android L? We're starting to see more devices beyond the Nexus series that offer simple non bloat builds. It only makes sense that these would be faster to push to devices.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gtalum:
None of those phones shares the raw computing power (Snapdragon 805) or display quality (best screen ever made, as tested by DisplayMate) of the Note 4. In fact the OnePlus One likely wears screens that didn't meet the standards for the Oppo Find, hence all of the screen issues with that phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Bruce lee roy:
That's because these are phones that, unlike note 4, have already been released. Hard to compare unreleased phone. After n4 is released I'm sure competitors will eventually update their lines as well. For relevance I was comparing to note 3.

For $250 off contact, who cares... throw it away and buy another.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] saifullah90:
but what's matter apple do i will always be an android guys and i will clearly do a Rom for the Note 4 :P
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gtalum:
Thanks, but I'm not comfortable just "throwing away" $250 on a whim. ;)

That's why I agonize over my smartphone upgrade every two years. :D

I think it will be ok. The iPhones are thinner than the Note 4, and the Note 4's metal edges are straight rather than curved. Both of those factors will add to its rigidity.
