I couldn't find a comparison between the S4 and N6 camera. Does anyone know how the two compare? I currently have the Galaxy S4 and was wondering if the Camera on the N6 is superior or rather the same.
S4 just by having better software. But the nexus take better pictures than the note 3 . I felt the s4 camera was night and day versus the note 3. Nexus camera is really good the s4 was great. But I haven't had the s4 since it was released so I I'm not sure how good it is now but back then I loved it. For some reason hdr on the nexus looks fantastic so for me if they just add more options in that camera app then it would be on par with the note 4. The stock app just seems dated.
Has anyone else used both phones? Id like to get several opinions
I've used both phones. The S4 camera looks like a VGA compared to the Nexus 6. Its also super slow, I can't stand using the S4's camera. I had one sitting in my bookshelf for s few weeks while I was selling it in eBay and I was not impressed with the S4 and its camera. The Note 3 took better pictures, but the Nexus is still better run my opinion.

So I am looking for a new tablet and I read that some people are not impressed with the nexus 9. I have always been a fan of the quality of samsung though. They seem to have a premium feel to it.
So my question si this? Is the Tab S 10.5" Still a very good choice? Even over the specs of the Nexus 9?
I would never get the first 64bit tablet. Let other suckers live through the year of bugs its going to cause with apps.
Tab pro: OLED screen. Also bigger screen if that's what you want.
Tab con: samsung bloat ware. Can't root without voiding warranty.
Nexus pro: it's a nexus. Pure android. Lollipop on day one. Better processor.
Nexus con: Ars and android police, the two reviews I've seen so far, are lukewarm. Built not great, lousy camera.
The tab built feels fine to me. I got it for the OLED screen. Ideal tablet would be tab body and screen with snap dragon or tegra cpu and nexus software.
Tab S with CyanogenMod, it flies...
Nexus 9.this tablet lags.
I noticed that the price of the 10.5 Tab S dipped down to $400 last night on Amazon. I was mildly tempted, but the lack of updates when I owned the original Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy Player 4.0 burned me enough to want to avoid Samsung if I can. Also, the hardware buttons are a turn off if they stay illuminated like they did on my Galaxy Player and I would prefer a 4:3 aspect ratio.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/general/hot-t2929315
i would check out the link above user are reporting that there nexus 9 the back is getting hot
i was thinking about getting nexus 9 but now am passing am now planing on getting ipad air 2 or samsung S 10.5 i may get the samsung S 10.5
Yeah reading more reviews the nexus 9 is just not good for the money. Disappointing.
Samsung has sold over 60 million Galaxy Note devices over the past three years.
What is the main reason why you prefer the Galaxy Note? Please vote and leave comments.
It's my first Note. When I saw the first Note I was like "Hell no, that phone is way too big" I thought my s3 was big enough. Flash forward 3 years after going from a 5.2" s5 to a 5.5" LG G3 and then the 5.5 yet slightly bigger OnePlus one the 5.7" Note 4 wasn't much of a stretch. I was contemplating the Nexus 6 but I felt that in terms of Phablet the Note 4 had so much more to offer for an extra 100$. So far I do have a couple of gripes but they're all software related therefore fixable. I was going to keep it as my backup device but after finding out all it can do I had a change of heart and decided to keep it as my daily driver. Note 4 FTW :good:
Went from Note 2 to Note 3, then OnePlus One, now the Note 4. OnePlus is a fine phone, especially for the price, but once you've integrated the s-pen into your daily life it's hard to go back. Every other "phablet" is a big phone and nothing more. The Note series delivers a lot of extra functionality that sets it apart and makes it more than just a big phone.
I only can choose 1 reason, but actually I've got more than 1 :
1. I like the design
2. I like the big screen & S pen
3. It came out in second half of the year, so it will get fastest update rather than other samsung phones, or it will get latest if google released the new android faster than usual
(Samsung is #1 choices in my city, great availability, great service center, and so on)
4. It has latest SoC, best specs on sheet
5. I have try them in SES in my city, and I can use a lot of its features
i have loved the first note and it only made sense to me to upgrade every year with the note series ( would have broken it with then note 4 if the edge was available lol)

Multitasking.
Great screens.
S-Pen (more with Note 4 than Note 3 tbh).
Design and quality feel (more so with the Note 4 than the Note 3).
Build quality.
Camera.
Loved my Note 2, and when sprint decided to release the Note 3 non sparked i had to go elsewhere (principalities) but I'm so happy to be back in the Note family. I actually don't use the spen as much as i should but this phone is so much more then that for me. A quality device with excellent specs! And works great with my Tab S!

Note 1 - initially for screen size and performance
Note 2 - for the stylus note taking plus other Note features
Note 10.1 - Business functions with multi Windows and Note taking
Note 8 - wanted more portable Note 10 and better speed
Note 3 - really good stylus functions and multi windows. Also Wolfson sound card.
Note 10.1 2014 - replacement for my Note 10.1
Note 4 - looking to replace my Note 10.1 2014 but did not work out so looking forward to the 10.1 2015 device. Really like power and using Knox for business security

Doesn't Note 8 have the same CPU&GPU as Note 10.1?
Anyway, my Note 10.1 is very fast. The problem with it was Samsung for some reason released it with buggy firmware and all reviewers put into their reviews that it lags like hell - while the first update fix that problem altogether, the reviews stayed.
PS. And of course you have to keep some GBs free on the sdcard because otherwise it will slow down considerably. It is a known issue of most mobile devices caused by poor flash memory, I hope we will see SSDs in tablets soon.

They're all great products if exploited properly
I chose Top Performance and Multitasking e.g. the smoothness and speed of UI, 3GB RAM, Snapdragon 805 and incredible battery performance.
But I must admit, the disappointing Galaxy S5, the metal frame of Note 4 , its jaw dropping 5.7inch display and the fact Samsung made its Note series its premium range, all had me wanting this beast to
The awesome screen is the primary reason. I liked the firm factor of my prior LG G3 better BUT not the display.
.Note 4 is much better from my experience. Also tried the IP6 Plus for 2 weeks but my sidebyside comparison for a few days says the N4 is much better screen...especially for reading Kindle books / magazines.

Then it definitely would be the most popular choice, but it is interesting to understand the primary reason
Regarding the big screen vote - it is a surprise for me because there are many different devices with big screens and high resolution now.

Well I can't single out one reason. I love the size of the screen with its great display, great performance, and the SPen! Hard to single anything out. Compared to the other phones of this caliber I'd say the SPen helped to stick out. Plus I'm not a fan of Droids, iPhones and LG phones for various reasons.
Sadly, I think the multitasking is just not as good as it should be w/o root. It only supports a few apps, so that's out! :/
All I need for it to be perfect is root :good: okay, and maybe waterproofing and 64-bit processor but really that's just being spoiled

Was rereading the thread and noticed your comment in brackets. Why do you think S-Pen is better in Note 4 rather than in Note 3?

Better sensitivity so it flows better on the screen. Also, text marking and functions like smart select.

L Camera allows you to record [email protected] - also the camera is better then the S4 (my wife had it). The only camera that might be better is the Note 4 and the iPhones.

thanks, the thing is i had a galaxy s2, and now s4, and i am tired of TW, its not bad, but after some time it looks dated, i have now cm12 on my s4 and i am loving it, sure, its not as smooth as the nexus 6, but it looks refreshing and new....
Hi with the new note 7 out soon was looking at it spec wise and price £650 plus and coming from nexus 6p was looking at Note 5 n920c is it worth as can get it at £350
Get Note 4.
why bruce ?
note 5 is damn good I bought last week only however i suggest you to wait for a week for note 7 and then take your decision.
After latest update, performance and camera is very close to note 5. Plus may be last note truly designed for power user - removable storage, interchangeable battery, IR blaster. Unlocked bootloader, Note-off screen, ui almost identical to n5, no fragile glass back, qhd, gear vr... and priced lower than n5.
What you guys think now since note 7 has been announced. Me personally it looks like a s7 edge with a pen and an expensive one at that.
Definitely an accurate assessment of it being s7 with spen but it was not an iteration of the n5 in that it added features rather than subtracted. I'm impressed with the water resistance more than anything else but I still have some reservations about it deserving to take the place of my trusty n4 due to the non removable battery and no ir blaster. I may just but a new battery and wait to see what the next Gen has to offer.
I'm a longtime Note 2 user. I love it. But cameras have advanced so much since its release, I'm considering a newer Note for sharper no-flash photos and better low-light pictures. I'm curious whether the Note 3's enough of an upgrade (with a Note 7 ROM) or if I should spend the extra and get a Note 4.
Obviously the Note 7 would have the best camera, but we know that's not an option. Note 5 would be next-best, but I like removable batteries and expandable storage. So, Note 3 or 4.
I can look at comparison videos all day, but it's different with custom ROMs. Can someone say if the Note 4 camera makes a big enough improvement to skip the Note 3?
Also, is the Note 3 the only Note with an IR blaster? Or just the first?
Any other notable differences?
I don't mind screen ppi or nits. Mainly looking for everyday-user differences like camera quality, unique features on the 3/4, or anything else you consider important when deciding which to get if I'm coming from a Note 2. Thanks for any answers!

Note 3 vs note 4
Camera
Rear13 front2 vs rear16 front3.2
Screen quality
1080p. Vs. 1440 2k
Note 3 no heart rate aensor but note 4 does
Battery 3200 vs 3220
Note 3 snapdragon 801 2.2 ghz vs note 4 805 2.7 ghz
In my opinion the biggest difference between note 3 and note 4 is screen quality note4 2k screen is amazing.once you hold note 4 for couple of days then go back to note 3 you will definitely feel the difference.
The note 4 has the IR blaster as well, i am not sure about the note 5
I gave up the note 3 to my wife after buying the note 4... I will have to say that note 3 is a trouble free phone!!
If you get the 4, make sure it''s either new with warranty or recertified with full warranty, because some issues exist with the note 4.
Good luck!
No pen window

One other thing is that the Note 3 has the pen window like the Note 2, but it went away with the note 4. I used it alot. Was one of my favorite features. Might be something to consider if you use that alot.

What issues have you had?
Also, how's the camera compared to Note 3? Is it a lot better in low light, for example, kids playing indoors or similar settings of low-light activity?

That's great to know! Thanks. I wonder if it came back in any custom ROMs. I could live without it, but I used it pretty often, too. Once DN4 ROM came along though (and other Note 4/5/7 ROMs since then; it was just the first of its kind), I quickly got used to resizing and minimizing apps like newer Notes. Works wonders for multitasking!
Note 4 > Note 3

It's rumored that the motherboard goes out after a couple years but No one will nail that down!
The camera is awesome note 3 won't compare to that and screen resolution but as said my wife's note 3 chugs along while I'm resetting and fixing my note 4
