SPOILER ALERT: I found this article to be extremely helpful and information. It completely clarified every question I had over Samsung's confusing (and IMO bizarre) decision to release a single phone with chipsets that vary to the degree that one is 64 bit capable and the other is not only still just 32 bit capable but performs (slightly) worse that the clearly superior and more desirable Exynos 5 Ocata 5433 64 bit capable variant even current, solely x86 architecture based Android across the board. This article clarified that decision to the degree that is made absolutely zero sense to is merely "unwise". Despite the info in the article answering that and other seemingly "WTF were they thinking?" questions re: design decisions made re: hardware differences in the two variants leading to variations in specs that further increase the desirability of the variant unavailable in America (i.e. the version I wouldn't even have an option to obtain if I were to "upgrade" via the (by far) most sensible method: T-mobile JUMP. Topics (and a link to an article which I'm about to check out) regarding difference of the perception of concerns related to future-proof-ness of the Qualcomm variant are also addressed. I was surprised by the concluding paragraph, in which they make a recommendation for or against the phone, and won't spoil it, since the clarity provided by the article resulting from the article prior to their conclusion lead me to the opinion completely opposed to theirs, which I again won't "spoil" here be I very much think that

anyone considering buying a Note 4 shouldn't make any decision re the device without be aware here

which I was completely confused by until it was finally completely clarified here.

ON A SEMI-RELATED NOTE: I recently started experimenting with FULL functionality of the S Pen (reinstalling GMD S pen Controls, which I had bought a while ago but never really used.... but as it turns out is freaking awesome. It takes kind of a long time to fully configure it, but as I discovered from getting started, that's actually a good thing because the reason for it is the incredible degree of customization available with the app. Setting that up vs previously using only native Sammy style (as well as getting other apps; Tasker for an example with.... a bit of functionality :rolleyes: ) I've just recently started interacting with my phone completely differently that I had previously, with a goal of completely my configuration to that point that I can control my phone entirely from just drawing a symbol indicating what I want to do on the screen. I seriously mean entirely, obviously toggles, but even stuff like service codes, "hidden menu" modes.... Relevance: just recently, by configuring a new method of interacting with my phone and increasing automation (most recently via NotificationsOff and its unadvertised but majorly welcome appearance in the Tasker task plugins screen edit: I messed this up, the app I'm using to chill syncing out is Force AutoSync, does one thing and does it well. I would like to figure out how to control syncing via Tasker though... I left my error in, because NotificationsOff and it's Tasker integration is sweet and worthy of a mention.. I seem to lose quite a bit less battery life now that my phone only autosyncs, at an interval, only when my cpu freq is lower than what I capped it at when the screen is off :D ) IOW, I feel like just by doing that stuff, and running Tweaked ROM, trading it for a Note 4 would be an instantly noticeable downgrade, and, really, I'm far from "done" with my Note 3, which I'm continually impressed by, obviously has had more dev work than its successor, and I really don't feel like I'm "waiting for whichever OEM puts out the first phone with the 64 bit capable Snapdragon 05 / or preferably but more up in the air Nvidia TEGRA K1 Denver" but really, I don't think I'll really be ready to be done with my Note 3 (that is, trade is for something via JUMP) until I have my choice between top-tear completely 64 bit, Android L.x phones. Note 5 could work, as long as it has those specs. I'm just really glad I came across that article, which was the only place that I had found that specific info, and the answers to the exact questions I had about it, but it really increased my appreciation of my N3, and just how "not done" with it I am. So, check it out if you enjoy making informed decisions :) If a the new shiny is your top priority, then it may be above your head :confused:

Hope you all find this info as helpful as I did!
