Suggestion for a new phone. - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a galaxy Note and IPhone 5, need to replace the Note. So, my budget is about 30,000INR or roughly 480$. I was thinking about the LG G2, Xperia Z2 or 1+1. I pretty much want the G2 but still... [emoji14] Also, I'm dicey about the 1+1 due to CyanogenMod being banned in India.
If there is any other phone which I missed, I'll be glad to check it out too.
Any help is appreciated guys

i suggest you Meizu MX4 PRO...

the galaxy s4 is also a nice option(around 18000 right now on amazon.in)

[Q] Galaxy S5 mini or Galaxy note 3 neo ?

Hello Everyone ,
i have a little question
I had already a samsung galaxy s4 value edition, and I have already solded , and now i want a buy a another smartphone
which is the best? Samsung galaxy note 3 neo or Samsung galaxy s5 mini ( Finger print i love it hihi but check this comment from another member for finger print http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55297050&postcount=4 his say isn't fluid ) , or i buy again s4 value edtion
Sorry for my bad english
Purchase the the mini s5. :good:
I have no problems with fingerprint.
Runs very well. :good:
In addition, we need here in the mini forum every man.
Maybe you're a dev and can make good Roms for us... :fingers-crossed:
Purchase the S5 mini brother ! :highfive:
thank you very much , i have another question , for battery life is it good ? I await the opinions of other people and i I'll buy
I recommend Note 3 Neo because it has the s-pen which is great, it's bigger than S5 mini with 1 inch and it's more performance. You need to thing two times before you buy one of these phone. Note 3 neo is performance, but s5 mini has a fingerprint sensor and it is water resistence.

Ok the battery is only 2100mAh and the Neo has 3100 mAh.
My phone is now running 17 hours and I still have 68%.
I make some phone calls, internet and email.
But you have to decide now.
The mini has some features that the neo has not.
Fingerprint, Heart Rate Monitor, Waterproof ...
@ Radu27
Yes S-Pen is good.I also have a Galaxy Note 2. :good:
The two phones are very different. We got both in our family. The note neo is the big one which you can use best with both hands. The S-pen is a goodie but is not often used. The display is very good and the os works fluid.
The S5 mini is my new favorite. It's perfect to use with one hand, very fast and got an very sharp and detailed display! The fingerprint sensor never got any problem.
You have to decide between a business phone (used with 2 hands) with the pen (writing or painting) or a small one which you can carry with your trousers and write with one hand!
So, I hope this will be helpful. Excuse my English.
I strongly disagree with the guy above about the S5 minis display. It's soooo far from sharp and detailed as it gets. The 720p resolution just doesn't do it on this phone. It's impossible to read small fonts and read Web pages without zooming. Unfortunately a deal breaker for me!

Tab S or Tab Pro?

The Tab S and Tab Pro are pretty close minus a few spec differences. My main question though, will the Tab Pro get more support due to it having a Snapdragon processor vs the eyxnos? Is it worth sticking it out with the Tab S and see where development leads to? I know the Eyxnos chips are harder and have less devs working on them due to this (from what I have read, source files, coding, etc).
here here here here here here and here are threads on Pro vs S
i should add i had a 10.1 Pro and bought a 10.5 S and Pro was sold next day.

What about development though? Will this device get more or does the eyxnos chip scare away devs?
Funny,
Everybody with a Tab Pro are worried it is an orphaned device because all of Samsung's energy is going into the S. I'd like to see sales numbers for both.
My main concern really is development, it can take a ok/good/great device and make it completely amazing.
Root makes these tablets amazing. The development community hasn't embraced these tabs but we still have root and now xposed makes most custom roms null and void. So if you're adament on flashing stuff then you might want to look elsewhere.... We'll there is the upcoming Nexus.

I had a pro 8.4 and sold it to get a S 8.4. Love the S. Best tablet o ever used.
Part of it is a question of value. The Tab Pro is selling now for $200 refurbished. The Tab S is selling closer to $330. They have around the same performance (tab pro has a little bit of edge). But the tab S has an AMOLED screen and a thinner/lighter body.
If it's performance at any cost you want, then wait for the Dell Venue 7840 (uses tab s screen with 64 bit intel processor) or a Snapdragon 810 processor. Maybe get NVidia's Shield as it's the only tablet today with a 2014 ARM processor. More likely, wait for HTC's Nexus tablet
If form matters most, then the tab s (and don't sleep on the official samsung case, which is the first oem case to displace roocase as my go-to).
If value and compatibility matters most, then the tab pro. Having a Snapdragon 800 means that advances in Nexus 5, 7 and other android device kernels may make it's way into future development. According to Qualcomm the Snapdragon 800/801 is in the Nexus 5, LG G Pro 2, G Flex, G2& G3, HTC M8 & E8, OnePlus One, Samsung Galaxy Note 2014 LTE, Tab Pro, Tab S LTE, Note 3, S5 & S5A & Alpha US, Xperia Z Ultra, Z1, Z1C, Z2, Z3 & Z3C, Amazon's Kindle HDX and Fire, Asus's Padfone and Motorola X 2014.

also would like to add that if convenience of superior cross product integration is important to you like your tablet blending with your TV's (Samsung's) and your Phone (Samsung) then leaving Sammy for another manufacturer takes that away.
i stick with the best Sammy has to offer in all those items because i really like the cross platform software Sammy offers.

Haha, I like how everyone is trying to avoid the question by giving an unrelated answer. Sorry this is coming off a bit negative BigMike but Samsung have poor development and software support ecosystem and they have shown it clearly in the past. Samsung owners will be lucky if they have more then 2 updates for their devices or support for more then 6 months. The company is out there just to make money from quick sales of hardware. Be warn and don't expect too much from Samsung if you're planning on getting any of their galaxy or tab variation devices. To answer your question in short format is neither devices will have any better development in the future from Samsung.

I don't think he means development by Samsung. I believe he is referring to custom roms.
My first and last samsung tablet was 7.7 after then i bought only ipad and nexus tabs , my latest tablet was iPad mini RETINA i sold it 2 days ago and i bought TAB S 8.4 / man i cant believe this tablet is for samsung it is awesome i love it wow
Tab pro has whiter screen ...., tab s has yellow white!
Tab pro has Snapdragon and 2gb ram but it' s more powerful than exynos and 3gb of tab s!
Although i already bought tab s, if could return in time i was gonna choose tab pro and saved some money!
Tab s has lags & hiccups everywhere!

my Tab S 10.5 is far superior to my Tab Pro 10.1 when it comes to performance. the difference is HUGE. both are the Best Buy Wifi Versions
Why choose tab pro, just go for tab s
100 percent i recomend Tab S
Definitely take Tab S. The screen is awesome, especially when you watch movies or HD pictures in dark room besides, Tab S is slimmer and lighter.

At the moment I'm personally using Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and I have a White Tab Pro 12.2 and a Black Tab Pro 12.2 .
Then pro has a really nice back with stiches which looks really nice but I prefer the Tab S as it looks nice with the gold around it. It is also slimmer and lighter. The pro uses LCD technology while the tab s uses AMOLED. Amoled gives better colours and consumes less power. The tab pro has usb3 while tab s has usb2 which is strange. Personally i think the winner is Galaxy Tab S. Processor wise dont listen to people saying Exynos is bad as its not. If you debloat your tablet it will work smooth without lag and also exynos uses less power so battery will last longer.
I had the Tab Pro 10.1 WiFi version and Tab S is "out for delivery" right now... I sure hope as hell that Tab S is better, because the Pro was pretty bad.
I was recently thinking about selling my Tab S and get the Tab Pro since its a lot cheaper. Plus I thought it had a lot of dev support. However when I compared the specs, it didnt make sense to sacrifice on screen technology, less ram and a larger device to save a few bucks. I got Tab S for 299 when I gave bestbuy a crappy old android tablet for 100 off towards Tab S. Then I looked into Tab Pro forums. Yes they have a few more roms but its not like its getting nexus level love over there. I am sticking with Tab S for now. I got a heavy debloated rom on Skyhigh kernel. Its alot better than stock. Tried Aosp port for a little while which was excellent for daily use but no Netflix was a dealbreaker for me. With time I hope to see more support for this tab.

Zuk z1 is not that good for me and Redmi note 3 doesn't have ROMs like my g2 had! So any other option?and phone must be 4g *
Xiaomi phones have a dedicated forum so their xda presence is limited. Also I started using roms because vanilla was too simple for me. Even the stock miui has some good features. But THE best phone would be an One Plus. May be you can get second hand in this price.
Yeah buts its now become very old I mean its been now 3 years from release of one plus one !
Finally got my Redmi note 4 (Mido) thanks for ur replies!
Lenovo Moto Z Play. Best for battery.
Moto X 2014 Is a great phone overall besides the battery.
Edit: Damn, It's an old post xD

change to s10?

Good to all .. my last samsung was the s3 mini .. Since that time I never had my samsung, I changed to sony ... right now I have a compact xz2, but I like this samsung ... would it be worth the change? in my country is 825 dollars the black version .. I did not see elsewhere that this at that price ..
I also have the option to buy MI 9 ..
I find this samsung very interesting
Opinions is good price? Thank you
You are the only person who can decide if it's worth a change. I have a Pixel 3 XL, but I upgraded to it for a better screen, more RAM, and better battery. I think it'll be a good phone and I'm excited for it, however.

Imo, u can never go wrong with a new Samsung phone. I have a S9+ that works perfectly fine but I am upgrading to the S10+ because I can afford it and because I want more memory, storage, bigger display, bigger battery, and a better camera than I have right now.
I'll be getting it for my reasons. You should try a few demo's, etc. to assist in your decision making process...
