I am buying a Galaxy Note 4 on Friday. This will be my first ever Samsung phone.
I've previously avoided them due to the extra software, but this time around the combination of hardware was just too much. I really like phones that feature capacitive buttons because I think it's much more efficient, and that really reduces the number of high end flagship phones a lot.
I wish the phone were slightly smaller, but I'll manage.
What about the rest of you? Is this is your first Samsung phone? (poll in thread, please vote)
Not my first, just upgraded from S4 GT-i9506. Picked up my new Note 4 today and I'm already loving it
I've stuck with samsung as I think keeping SDCard support, unlocked bootloader (although now with the new KNOX it voids warranty) and replaceable battery are worth the extra (albeit small due to my carrier) bloatware added to their devices and all the bloat can be removed (depending on your carrier).
Previously I had the Galaxy 5 (not the S5) and the Galaxy S3
No, moved on from GS3. Won't be rooting it for at least a year I guess so don't care about knox counter, most unwanted bloatware can be disabled unlike the GS3 at the beginning, so yeah, having fun with N4 so far.
I've seen the light. Ditching my iphone. I just want the freedom of android and the superior hardware of the Note.
From Samsung Galaxy S2 which was my first smartphone to Samsung Galaxy note 4.
There is something about Samsung electronics as a whole that appeal to me.
My TV is a sammy and my next one will be as well...
SIII was my first Samsung phone
I got an S2 around the time the S4 came out. Untill now i really liked my s2's screen as the colours and blacks were a lot better compared to other phones like iphone and most lcd screens
now i finally got my note 4 and every morning when i wake up i'm like wow its amazing
Its the first one i actually paid myself so its a yes and a no to me
Had a tmobile camera samsung phone back in 2001 or 2002. Then had numerous other phones. And the Galaxy S1, Note 2, Note 4.
Nope had Samsung Epic 4G before.
I600 Blackjack
I900 Omnia
I9000 Galaxy S
P6800 Galaxy Tab 7.7 (yes I used a tablet as my phone for 2 years)
Note 4

No, I had a S2, S3 and have a Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) besides my new Note 4.
I'm not a Samsung fanboy though, I really hate their update politics and I'm not a fan of their bloatware. Touchwiz is okay though.
On the other hand I like their hardware and of course the stylus that comes along with the Note series.
The Samsung service in Germany is also pretty good.
First Samsung phone, yes, but I have Note 10.1 tablet and it's quite great even for his age. I wrote hundreds of pages on it.
It's not my first Samsung, but it is my first note. my first Samsung was the Reality u820
Nope, I had a Galaxy s2 first then a Galaxy s4 after that, both phones lasted perfectly until upgrade time, including great battery life and Android updates.
First smartphone was a nokia n8.?
later i had a HTC Desire and HTC one x
I wanted a fast phone with sd and removable battery and choose for note 4
I like it very much and it's my best and fastest phone ever

Started with the Captive -> S2 -> Note 1, S3, Note3, S4, and now Note 4
Nope, upgraded from my GS4 32GB I9500 3weeks ago to my metal beauty Note 4
Also had S2 16GB and S3 32GB, so its in no way my 1st Samsung, and if the Note 5 is even better than this awesome thing then I wont be leaving Samsung anytime soon.
HTC WFS - Nexus 4 - Nexus 5 - Note 4
Ive had the S2, S3, S4, Note 3 and Note 4. S3 being the weakest link, Note 4 being the strongest.
Just never liked the design on the S3 in comparison to the others. Too organic for my taste. Like the Nexus 6.

How is the Nexus 5 on battery life for a LIGHT user? Many text messages, not many phone calls and I don't use data. If I do stuff on my phone, it is on WiFi. If that.

For a light user I think it's ok, I use it all day, usually without wifi, and i manage to use it until evening.
But it's still new.

Looking at getting the G4 to replace my Note 4. Anyone else here a former Note 4 owner? Thoughts?
i had a note 4 . I like this phone better the screen on the lg is amazing. I will also note that I currently use my nexus 6 because I hate not having root.
Came from the note 4.. Now that we have root this phone is great
I came from a note 4 as well, besides the random touch issues the G4 beats the Note 4 by good amount. Battery life is starting to get better now it's settled in and the screen/sound is really nice.
kinda miss this fella just booted it up and i miss that HUGE display the lg g4 was supposed to be a hold over till the note 5 but they ****ed that up so im thinking of going back to it for awhile
Now that I am a full week in I have to say I really like the G4, I have been able to customize what I want and although I haven't tried the root process yet I just got 48616 64 bit Antutu benchmark so I am pleased.
Back on my note 4 with the rooted 5.1.1 man it flys
Note with the 5.1.1 update is night and day fast as lighting love it and looking to get the s6 edge plus or moto style. Tried the g4 and found it to small coming from a nexus 6 so i took it back and got the note 4 .

Battery Life for real.
None so far...............

Now that the much anticipated Samsung device was launched and because we've had in the past Note 3 to Note 5 and Note 3 to Note 7 ported roms, will this Note 3 to Note 8 be possible? I surely hope so bc this would bring a sense of fresh air into my Note 7 AHEM Note 3 xD

Maybe better to ask this in the Galaxy Note 3 forum Dev's here won't be porting it to a Note 3.
But an answer to your question, Yes it sure will be possible. providing the Note 3 dev's have not left you to buy the Note 8
I'm sure someone will get to work on it as soon as the system dump is available shortly after release day.

i just waiting just like you for that new.rom
Actually, believe it or not I'm missing Action memo and personally liked old S-note much better. And frankly I don't see much software difference between N7 and N8, so you may be little disappointed.
two simple ways to do this.
1. Download the rom from: www.note8roms/downloads/note3/bootloaderunlocker/simfreeunlocktool
2. Go buy a Note 8
Edit: I just realized you dont need step 1 after all
