Dear XDAs.
Do you really feel that Note 4 is really worth to call as an upgrade from Note 3.
Personally I fear not. It is just another flavor of Note 3 and would like to call it Note 3 Camera Version. But surely not as an Successor to Note 3.
How do you see it.? Lets discuss here.
No it isn't and for that they will not see my money for the first time in since the original galaxy
I had the galaxy s, s2, note, note 2, note 3 but I will skip to note 5 or any other
Not for my money, my Note 3 will serve me well into 2015. Not considering software enhancements, the Note 4 is an incremental evolution (display, camera) slightly longer (not interested). My Note 3 was a considerable bump from my beloved Note 2. I've got plenty of performance, capacity, features to last.

Well considering the rear speaker on my Note 2 sounded much better (louder, fuller) than my Note 3, I'd say if they could use the same formula..I'm game!
That was one of the big disappointments with my Note 3, the speaker was pretty mediocre. Tinny and the volume was just not loud enough compared to the Note 2.

No.
Maybe if it had 4GB of RAM and a 4000mAh, but not this.
Let's see.
Same size screen..yep
Larger device overall..yep
Heavier..yep
USB 3.0...nope
Samsung what were you thinking when you built this...oh wait... You weren't thinking obviously!
Not worth getting...if anything the n4 in some ways went backwards from the N3..

Yeah 4gb of ram with 64bit ..4000mAh would be nice but I think 3800mah lol
Overall I think its a good upgrade but I wish it had the speaker in the same place as the note 3 and atleast a 3400mah battery.
I entered Samsung world from S1, the s2 and s3 and then note 2 and 3. Always had no hesitation to upgrade but this is first time ever I won't upgrade. Samsung has not given me anything special to consider. The reason I am whining on water resistant is that I always felt that phones should have it and was very happy to see it in S5. Samsung was mad to leave it. I don't care about camera as I already have Nikon D7000.
Even if i have to buy, i will buy note edge but that too after 6 months.
I would say Yes, this is a worth upgraded version of Note 3, this is a perfect KitKat device. But this is NOT worthy of being called Note 4!! Android L is right around the corner, and a 64bit+4GB Ram would've been flagship for that flavor... Now somebody else will get that spot.
I'm relieved the speaker is rear firing - hell yeah, hopefully it'll give the sound some more bottom than the Note 3, just like it does on my old Note 2..
Also - have they dropped the scrapbook feature? Hope not, was actually useful...
such difference much wow
i think the only exciting thing is the 16mp ois cam
Alright guys I'm either going up to best buy tomorrow and getting the note 3 for 99 bucks or I'll wait and get the note 4. I am so pissed because I waited and entire effing year for a water resistant note.
I'm posting here because I know a lot of you have the note 3.
First three to reply with a recommendation will make my decision. Thanks in advance!!!

If I didn't have a note 3 and was buying a new device I'd get the N4 of course. Why buy a year old device when u can get the latest.. Makes no sense.
Note 4 for sure.

I dont know!!
i was really excited about this phone for over 2 months but now when i see it I'm in love with the design but whats up with the
rear speaker?? i mean why would they do that?? the most thing i like about the note 3 from the entire galaxy line was the bottom
speaker the sound was amazing but bringing it back to the rear i mean that's just a step back for me. i love the entire galaxy line
I've used most of the galaxy devices but the Only thing i hated was the rear speaker. I wish they would find a better place for the
speaker!!!!

Exactly! This is the only thing that make me so sad today. I dont know what to do now. I hate back firing speaker.
my two biggest disappointments were battery and speaker placement
The speaker on the back I think has something to do with the two mics on the bottom.
As for the battery I would like to know the excuse for that.
I mean since the Note to Note 2 and S3 to S4, the battery increase on samsung phones is just getting smaller.
so, I have ordered a gear 2 neo watch, to work with my note 4 when I get it friday.
during a chat with samsung this morning, they say it works great with the note 4, but I was wondering if anyone is using the Gear 2 or Gear 2 neo watch with the note 4 yet..
I would assume it works fine, since it did work well with the note 3, but would just like to hear anyones experience with it..Am also curious if rooting the phone causes any issues with the watch, and even though its too early, wondering if the watch will work if the phone has a custom rom, either a touch wiz or AOSP/CM rom..
thanks for you input!:good:
Working great.

No guarantee it works right on non stockish roms. Rooting stock is fine
you have a note 3 or note 4?
thanks again!

I had both. Switched from Note 3 to Note 4
Yours will be new so no issues, but if you ever switch phones, anytime the gear manager is resynced or your gear watch is re-paired, the watch erases itself and re-configures. Fortunately NOT that big of a deal with the watch.

I hit thanks by accident. I have the note 3 and the note 4. My gear 2 neo is working fine with both devices.
i wont have the phone until Friday, but am hoping to get the watch Thursday. can I play with it for a day before the phone comes, or just leave it alone until I have the phone so I dont confuse or mess up the initial config before the note 4 is here?
thanks
can't do much on the watch without the phone really. Well, you can tell time... hahahaha
what kind of range do you guys get between the phone and the watch?
I have read everything from 3 feet to 300 feet!
thanks

Honestly, probably around 25 to 30 feet.
Rarely more than 30 ft, less if walls in between. Mine disconnects and reconnects as I move in and out of range.
thanks; as long as it re-connects automatically when in range, I am fine with that.
Anyone coming from a Note 4 kinda regret it. I mean i do a little bit but only becuase of the camera
I regret not ordering it sooner.
I have zero regrets. The Note is cool in it's own right. But this phone is blazing fast and without the carrier non-sense. Also the camera for me is decent so I have no complaints.
I traded in my Note. I was sick of the lag of the recent app start after a week. Getting my Nexus either tomorrow or Thursday!

I was kinda annoyed about the yellow screen. I fixed this issue today and everything looks good and colors are way better that note 4 now. The camera is okay but the note 4 is amazing camera.

Coming from m8/Nexus 5, I miss having a plethora or ROM options. Aosp/CM, GPE, Sense, Mini etc. I also miss having SD card for the m8. I just really wanted a big phone which is why I got the Nexus 6. I am just waiting for Xaomi to update mini to 5.0. Which Hugo says they are working on it so hopefully in 6 months or less
Oh I don't have that problem least I don't think I do Lol

Glad that you don't have that issue. It's very annoying. screen has so many issue as burn in and pinkish tint when you lower the brightness.
Yeah the pink I noticed but that is fixable
Nope! But I've had the phone for an hour at this point - just ran to AT&T and picked it up, switched from the LG G3. I love it so far. I guess my screen is warm (yellow?) but I can't tell too much. Iunno. Ready for developers to start releasing ROMs!

installed ElementalX kernel it has a color control and also installed Trickster MOD from the play store. Setup my RGB and all is running very well.
I was gonna get the Note 4, but I wanted the pure Android experience and Nexus 6 has almost the identical hardware to Note 4, so I thought to my self with all that power Nexus 6 is bound to run faster and better. No regrets, lovin it.
I kinda regret not going with the Note 4 because the Note seems to have a sturdier build than the N6. Warning to all, this is not the phone you walk around with naked.
I have both the note 4 and Nexus 6. My note 4 is a dust collector now. Yes the camera is better on the note 4 but the Nexis is a beast!

Awesome...going to do that right now. Thanks
Coming from a G3 which I still own I have no regrets. I've had 3 G3's and I loved them all and I kept one and my Nexus. Before those I had a Note 3 and this is leaps and bounds better than the Note 3 and my wife's S5
There's an article talking about a "new" note 4 that has the ability to combine 3 cell freq to combine to 300mpbs lte. Compared to our current note 4 which combines 2 signals.
Is that going to be something we can add? Or is that a hardware thing?

OK, I figured that (hardware dependent) not that I'm complaining, I'm getting 30mbps down with T-mobile wideband LTE, and I've seen 70 down - I'm sure once it get's a little more popular or T-mobile increases coverage in my area our speeds will increase. But I thought I'd ask.
THANKS FOR THE QUICK REPLIES GUYS.
So I just came from note 4 and note edge curious anyone start to (had note 4 and note edge each 1 week of use)
Feel like me? Kinda miss the kidnapper lol
So i m loving the smooth stock experience very smooth however
The note 4 and edge seem to have a bit of the sexiness with them ?
Gonna give this 1 week trial I would probably settle with the note edge if
This don't go well ..lol
Anyone?
I came from Note 4 after 2 months of usage, so far quite like the nexus 6. Battery seems to be better for me with Nexus 6. I use everything at full blast by the way, no power saver or reduce stuff

I switched from an AT&T Branded Note 4 to the Nexus 6, so far I don't miss much, I rarely used the S Pen, the Oxygen Sensor even less, and my Gear Live has a Heart Rate Monitor. I think the Nexus 6 looks pretty sexy myself The Nexus 6 from T-Mobile comes unlocked and bloat free, and is easily bootloader unlocked and rooted, two things the AT&T Note 4 still can't do.
Today is my first day with nexus 6 at work so far smooth ass response and loving it ..I'm in wall street so texted and a lot of emails and messages been 2 hours it is 93%
Is this another epic Note 4 vs Nexus 6 thread in disguise?
Call in the boys @regime2008 @TonyM77 @pierrekid
would like to see what more of you guys have to say.. Im trying to decide which phone out of the N6 Note 4 and one plus one
Went from Nexus 5, gave the Nexus 6 a shot, and ultimately settled on the Note 4 (while keeping the Nexus 5 because it's still an amazing phone and I didn't want to give up on pure Google goodness )
I won't drag this thread into another "which phone is better" banter, just answering your question. Nexus 6 holds it own, Note 4 has a few bells and whistles that may or may not appeal. I've been a Nexus guy for years, and had never ventured into the Note series, so I decided to hold one of each for a while.
After running a SlimLP build on the Note 4, I can say that both the Nexus 6 and this one run Lollipop amazingly. At the end of the day, you can't go wrong w/ either purchase.
I came from note 4 after 2 weeks usage/experience. I had all note series. The only thing I miss is multi window. N6 is very speedy and yes 6' screen is so nice...
P.s I miss also Samsung keyboard with numeric row.

No its actually a legitimate thread ...so far NEXUS 6 is smooth and sexy
I mean you gotta love the way lollipop animate when you touch something
Its more smoother than my iPhone 6 plus holy cow.
Point of it is that note edge or note 4 is also best of the best
So it is confusing since I have 13 days left to play with it.
I do rmemeber tho yesterday when I was watching you tube I was watching 2k
And that's when I know and smile when you hear the stereo speakers and the big ass
Screen doing its thing the nexus way....
Also keep in mind also that note4 will get lollipop it could be sick ..and solve the touchwiz thing anyway 13 days to go
Thoughts?
Coming from the note 4 after a few months. Now 1 week into the Nexus and I love it. Knowing what I know now the nexus would be my first choice. Since I can't compare the two without people getting butthurt, I'll just say there is nothing i miss about the Note 4.

Coming from a note is totaly fine. However maybe its better to wait sucking lollipop first on the note 4 before comparing or pick another device. Snappys will run way smoother but if your on exynos, you wil enjoy more 64bts and full ART runtime as well. Besides that, its already time for next generation 810 soon. So therefore its worth waiting a while more to..
And no, im not gonna bash on the nexus 6 anymore, we had our fun..so did the nexus fanclub and finaly had the thread closed
I realy dont know what to pick coming from a note but the nexus 6...

If i had to pick today, the oneplus one 100% is the perfect phone for in between snappy 805 and 810. If you like buy a expensive note or nexus at this time....waste of money, better a 270 euro phone for now, wait a few months and get yourself that awesome snappy 810. The oneplus one is fast enough while waiting, running CM rom. Most 'bang for buck' phone ever...

my first android device was when i got the At&t note edge two weeks ago...after having it two days and realizing no root, no lollipop = nexus 6 for me.
