Hello guys,
I just wanted to let you know that I've updated my phone, bought a brand new Nexus 4 and kept my Galaxy S2 in the closet
What do you thinks of this update? Worthy?
Here's some stuff I'll probably miss:
Removable battery
Expandable storage (I had 48gb in my S2, so my sd card has no use for now...)
Let me know what do you guys think.
Thank you very much, have a good day ahead.
That's funny, I'm doing the same thing and mine arrives today. I don't think I'll miss that stuff; I am not one to swap batteries, plus I only ever had a 4GB microSD. Perhaps you will get used to being more conservative with space.
Overall though, I think it's a huge update from the Galaxy s2, performance and looks-wise.

I'm sure you will miss some of those things in your s2 but it is actually pretty easy to adapt to not having them. Storage is not an issue if you have WiFi at home. The battery does last for a while on this phone anyway.

I had also S2. Only camera bothers me compared to S2.
@ korockinout13 I guess you are right, funny coincidence though.
@ eqjunkie829 I am quite a conservative person referring to "Storage is not an issue if you have WiFi at home." but I guess I will give it a shot!
Regarding the removable battery I will just miss it because whenever my S2 went buggy/crazy/laggy I just removed it and placed back again (especially when I had bootloops, if you know what I mean haha)
@ grisoxxl Isn't the quality better? Or the videos are just bigger in terms of size (GB)?
Thanks guys!

I have both devices,currently using sgs2. Wifi is so bad on my N4 making it almost unusable.

OT - Rise Against are an amazing band
Anyway, @ OP the N4 is a great device, you'll soon get used to not having those things or will find workarounds. You can simulate a battery pull by holding power down for around 10 seconds. You'll definitely need to manage your storage use quite carefully coming from a 48GB phone but it's not too bad once you do that. The video quality isn't better, it's one of the biggest downsides if you care about camera quality. The N4's camera isn't awful but it's far from being the best either. Regarding the most recent post I have no clue what you mean by WiFi being unstable seeing as mine is fine and it doesn't seem to be a commonly reported issue, but there is a patch to make it faster.
Great choice for an upgrade! and hope your going to love the nexus 4
i exchanged my galaxy s3 for the nexus 4
yes there will be a few things you are going to miss ( for me it was battery, sd slot, camera, )
buttttttt i grew to love this nexus
runs so much better and doesn't give me lag issues out of no where and the battery is amazing for the size of it also with this beast processor running inside this thing.
if you lasted with the s2 for a while im assuming, your going to hold onto this nexus for a while as well
congrats.
Is that an upgrade? I moved from Galaxy S3 i9300 and I say it was totally worth it. I miss USB otg though.
@ Nigeldg I already manage to sort out the store issue I will purchase a wireless sata compatible with android!
@ bodom_hc I want to keep it until Nexus 5 or Galaxy S5 comes out
@ Wololo7 Didn't get you with "Is that an upgrade?"..
Anyway, seems like I will be happy with it.
I went from an S2 to a N4 and I've never looked back. The camera isn't bad only time I've had a drop in quality is in really low light. No SD card doesn't bother me as I only have have basic games on my N4 and use my N7 for my mobile gaming needs.

I've upgraded from S3.
The cons everyone knows... SD card, camera, FM radio, etc. But I'm happy with it.
I also have problems with wifi speeds. When I try SpeedTest I get full speed (50mbps), but when I download something from browser or tapatalk I get a few kb/s. That's weird. Same behavior in nexus 4 and nexus 7. Cyanogen (n4) and Stock (n7).
maybe it is the server of the download service remember not everything is going to give everyone fastest speed

Now that the S6 is out and the whole world saw Samsung take out expandable storage & removable battery in the S6 in favor of design, does anyone think they will do this to the Note 5 as well?
I certainly hope not because this will be the last Samsung I will buy ever again.
If they do it would be like buying a nexus
I think they will drop both, but I hope not.

I hope not, too.
But, if the Note line is supposed to be for power users and the S line for normal users, then they should be smart and not ditch the expandable storage and removable battery.
The Note series isn't been pushed for its design aspects as much as its feature set. The Note series is also very business orientated and because of that the removable battery is a seriously important feature. bringing an extra battery is a must for most business users who are away from the office a lot or travel and such. There would be no point in removing the MicroSD slot if they still have a removable battery,
Now of course Samsung don't want to brand the Note series that way, but ultimately a large phone such as the Note would see no benefit from a premium design such as the S6 as the general population aren't going to go for phones much bigger than the S6 and as such removing features for such a thing would be counter productive.
At least I hope so. If Samsung remove the MicroSD slot from the Note series, I will stick with the Note 4 for as long as possible and then move to another company. Samsung can scream all of the nonsense they what, copying Apple's greed for storage strangled devices is nothing short of pathetic. If your going that route, then 64GB better be the standard. Why bother advertising 2k display here, 4K camera there, if people don't have the storage to deal with higher size content.
I hope Samsung thinks in the same way for Note 5. Otherwise I will be moving to iPhone 6S plus

Yeah and for one I'd be seriously tempted to choose the Nexus. The N6 is a pretty sweet phone, the only reason I don't have one is that it's not as good as the Note 4. Removable battery and micro sd slot being 2/3 of the reasons I have the Note 4 instead.
If they do then bye ? Samsung

Yup, and of course feedback. The thing is though that samsung has the ability to do both, but in order to improve their margins they have gone the Apple route, a route which I think they will stay on as long as it brings in greater profits, which is going to be the case due to the S6 actually being quite awesome in comparison to the rest of the phones out there.
Note 5 will keep both because its designed for power users on the go. The S6 is more for the mainstream crowed like Iphones sheeple.
If they do it's bye bye Samsung for me too after Captivate, S3, Note 2, Note 4.
If s6 sales fail then they wont.
I know I wont buy a pjone without microsd.
I think Samsung will first see how people react to the S6 once on the market and base their decision around that for their next phones (including Note 5). However, I hate to say that I think non-removable batteries and nonexpandible storage are the future (as much as I hate it). Google is really encouraging these kinds of features and many companies may follow in their footsteps.
I read somewhere a day ago that the 32GB S6 will have expandible storage. The slot is under a flap cover that's on the top of the phone instead of under the cover. There's another dlot on the sidr of the phone for the sim. That was not officially confirmed though, and I think the people discussing it were only basing it on the photos and hands-on footages. But they all see one distinct slot, a distinct flap covering something, and a micro USB port on the phone. I'd confirm it myself, but I can't tell based on images, what version of the S6 I'm looking at.

I have a feeling the S6 will actually be a big hit with consumers. It's visually appealing and has great specs. Most mainstream users don't swap out batteries or load up large SD cards. With 64GB versions to be sold I expect the S6 will do very well, although I'm hoping that Samsung leaves the SD card and replaceable battery in the Note 5. That would help distinguish their mainstream S6 from the power-user Note model. As it stood before, the Note was simply a more powerful version of the S6 with an S-Pen..
S6 pre orders have already smashed records and launch is sill a few weeks away. Like it or not, these sales figures will have an influence on Samsung's design team going forward. In other words don't be surprised if the Note 5 has a solid glass or possibly metal back.
It would be OK with me if they made sure higher storage options are available and not to hard to find. Android is making it tough for OEMs to have ext storage. I know I needed root to access mine the way I wanted to.
Either way I am not worried because the note 4 is the last device for awhile.
http://phandroid.com/2015/03/09/galaxy-s6-pre-orders/
According to Korea Times, Samsung has confirmed that a combined 20 million+ units of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge have been pre-ordered. More specifically, the Samsung Galaxy S6 commands an overwhelming majority of that number with 15 million units, while the Edge variant accounts for about 5 million. Well, if you don’t recall, Apple’s iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus pre-sales were pegged at a whopping 4 million.

This does not bode well for the Note 5. We have to constantly let Samsung know on their Facebook page that they SHOULD NOT get rid of expandable storage or removable battery.

I'm not going to even bother do that. I will just not buy it.
That should send the message.
So if note 5 has no external storage and no removable battery then no one that want these features should buy it.
Then I bet note 6 will have whatever we want.
If they removed either, I would not by their product and have to look for an alternative from one of their competitors.
If this is true, I see myself passing.

Personally I don't need a larger battery or a glass back. I do need my removable batter and micro SD slot.
Samsung is just trying to pad it's bottom line now. They're not selling like they used to do to with their premium prices. Now they're trying to make it up by changing premium prices for memory. Too bad Samsung screwed itself when they went after their own American team when they had that ultra successful marketing campaign.

Lol :laugh: I don't think any of us are *****ing about the "stylus". In fact we expect and want that feature to stay.
The part that is ruining it for many of us (at least myself), is the part where they are leaning towards a permanent battery and NO microSD. :cyclops:
Will you upgrade your Note 4 to a Note 8? What? There's not a Note 8? Well there's no Note 5 either...

Exactly. I chose the note 4 edge over the s6 with those specific features in mind. I've been buying Samsung for a few generations now, but if the Note 5 is anything like the one in the article, I'll have to look at the next LG G-series.
Not unless they give me an SD card slot. I will definitely be going else where. Maybe lg. I kinda miss my g3.
I feel like this accessory can alleviate many storage hungry users, myself included. Rumors that they could be getting rid of the removable battery is a huge downside for me as I've purchased Samsung's OEM battery charger for the past two generations of the Note line. It's just way too nice to go from 0% to 100% instantly.

I would love to carry that around with me at all time. Problem solved. I'm sold.
I'm honestly done with Samsung. I upgraded to a Galaxy Note 4 from a Nexus 5, and I miss my Nexus 5. The stock rom on the Note 4 is crap, and the only AOSP I've tried (CM12.1) is missing features that stock Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 Android has (namely, HD Voice, WiFi calling, and call recording.)
The worst part of all is that I'm stuck with a faulty USB port that doesn't charge reliably, and Samsung refuses to fix it because I rooted my phone. Meanwhile, Google doesn't care if you root your phone.
**** Samsung, never buying another Samsung phone again.
As much as the stylus is somewhat useful to me... I can do without it. SD card and removable battery=no deal. I'll grab the G4 or Gwhatever is next. Screw this bullsh!t...

If it didn't have the glass back, I would upgrade.
It looks like either wait for the Note 6, or get an iPhone 6+. Yes, yes, I know. But I've used a few of them and they are really nice phones. But if the Note 5 is what the article says, then no - I will not upgrade to it.
Glass back. Stupid.

Ummm....actually...this is kind of awkward...but yeah, there is a Note 8. Its a downgrade though.

Nope, not carrying around attachments with me to access storage. Its a money grab from Samsung now. MSD cards are now coming out in 200gb and 512gb sizes. Before we know it 128gb cards will be hitting $40 (they're already as low as $80). You mean to tell me you would rather pay more for a set amount of storage determined by a manufacture and streaming cloud services? Wake up!
S6 sales aren't panning out as expected and Samsung has been miss firing since the S5 flopped and with the S6 series they keep on flooding the market with variation after variation. At some point Samsung will have to self-center and get back to what made them a hit in the first place.
Looking to upgrade to the NOTE 5. But not sure if it would be worth it yet. I do like the display and that is usually the biggest reason for me. NOTE 4 display still looks hot and roms for note 5 are starting to roll out. What do you think?
Depends. Do you value expandable storage, removable battery, and IR? If so then the note 5 would not be a good upgrade. I personally think the note 4 is still a top of the line device, its not even a year old yet. IMO the note 5 feels more like a sidegrade than an upgrade.
Do it battery sucks on the note 4 I get anywhere from 3-3 1/2 hours I'm upgrading to the note 5 cuz honestly the lack of sd storage and non removable battery actually sounds like a plus right now

Battery life depends on the user . 6hr sot is wishful thinking if you use your phone. If you don't do alot on your phone then i can see that but why would you buy a note . I rather get that new Huawei nexus at half the price. Anything over a 1,000 is just wasted money if you have a note 4 ,the note 5 is better but not 1,000 better no way.

i actually have to agree here, i upgraded to the note 5 for a total of 3 weeks, and i found that i REALLY missed having 140gb of storage on my device.
not to mention the ir remote for my tv and some other ir devices. im not sure how you getting 3h of battery life on the device though... i have CM12 on my n910w8 and i get home to a decent 35% at the end of the day with med heavy use. i can see if you are using gps then 3h would seem about right. i cant think of any other ways of how one would drain the battery so quickly.
I think people should start saying they "updated" to the 5 instead of "upgrading." We all know not all updates are upgrades. Lollipop 5.0.x is an example of that. It doesn't just extend to software either.

Honestly without the SD Card and the battery makes it feel too much like the iPhone. If Galaxy phones are your thing go with the note 5, but at this point I would just get the iPhone. Samsung's trying so hard to COPY the iPhone why not just the original thing? lol
Really disappointed in the note 5, a lot of spen problems from what i hear as well.
Note 5 has no IR blaster - that I can live without. But no external microSD card and no removable battery? Sorry those are deal killers for me, I will not buy one because of this. Yes it would be nice to have the faster processor and the 4gig RAM instead of 3GIG rRAM does make it tempting ..plus it does have a better camera too. But these things ...at least for me...do not out weigh my need for microSD card and removable battery - so it's just not worth spending the money on it.

It's always a good idea to buy a Note 4, provided that you absolutely need the Spen. If you don't, then maybe you should look for something else.
But if you intend to use the Spen extensively, then Note 4 looks even better than the Note 5. For a relatively affordable price, you get replaceable battery, memory slot and you can install a Note 5 rom, making it absolutely the same in the software sector. The Note 5 has a much more capable hardware on paper, but probably you won't notice that in everyday use and in most situtations.
The deciding factor is the Spen. Do you need it? If yes, get it. If you don't, look for something else.

How is note 4 camera. Do you guys recommend to buy note 4?
Note 4 is the best phone I have ever owned it's still competing with today's flagship especially with root and unlocked bootloader the battery is amazing camera is high quality and I have never ran out of space with a 128gb SD card and 32gb on board memory I would suggest if you get the note 4 get the snapdragon variant. But like other have said if you don't use the spen you can get a on paper better phone with the same price range, but that note 4 amoled screen is very hard to compare to.

Note 4 at 30k is still the best phone out there, end of story. One Plus 2 nice, but only the camera is better. I myself was confused between X Style and Note 4, ended up with the latter, glad I did. Motorola would win in terms of software only, that's it. For Note 4 you only compromise with the software, TW (it's not that bad anyway), and get quite a lot of other this which other phones can't even dream about providing.
Go for it.

You won't find a more full featured phone in that price range that will compare with a note 4, and the spen is just a topping on the cake that makes it that much more useful. There are a bunch of amazing Roms that ported the note 5 features and cleaned up touchwiz to the point where it actually is a great Ui the only phone I would think of getting instead of a note 4 is the new nexus.

You have mentioned nothing about the Spen. You also had Note 2 and 3, but it was easy for you to shift to OPT.
I think it's obvious that you do not have a great need for the most stand out feature of the Notes. In that case, you should probably go for another phone, there are so many good phones out there these days.

You can get even better devices. Note 4 surely is great one I myself use note 4 but after what sammy did with 6.0.1 i think note 4 users should use a ported rom to do justice with the hardware. So in comparison to that there are many devices. Htc one me camera just go and look at the camera of that device. Hence my point of view. If you didnt like it then talk respectfully.

Yah man I'm surprised you even mentioned the iPhone in that post that was pretty sad to bring up iPhone in a XDA forum. And I'm pretty sure the YU is a Indian company I'm not sure the band's will work here or at least have issues in the USA or Europe.

Hahaha yupp iPhone sucks i say it too but as i said to the other guy i gave him the choices on price range. And yes YU is an Indian company but I saw people around me using it and it is good enough i mean given the liberty to do anything with the device, few tweaks would make it a good one. And the model was different its going to launch in this week with flagship specs. So he can keep it to compare the models you know.

Don't go for note 4. I've been using for 1 and a half year and I regret it. I don't want to change to note 5 and wait for another year for note 6 or note 7 edge (whatever they want to call it).
P's. It's a Korean company and not an us, europe or whatever your country coming from.
To OP, just go to the shop and try both. Better to try yourself then asking other people.
I just picked up a used N901F for a ludicrously cheap price and I'm going to give it a week or so to see how it compares to my N9005 with daily use before I decide if I keep it or not. The biggest issue will be battery life as the Note 3 rocked in that department! I travel a lot so I need battery life and stability so I'm a little hesitant to go down the custom ROM route (didn't have too many issues with my HTC HD2 in that respect) so I've rooted it stuck TWRP and xposed on, installed most of my old apps and gsam battery monitor to keep an eye on what's going on with the battery.
This is my first time using MM - any apps/features you guys recommend either specifically on the Note 4 or even MM in general?
You can go for Note 4, eyes closed, great phone.
Seriously, that's a very funny post, Yu and other phones compared with Samsung, and that too a Galaxy Note phone. I live in India too, and I too do see ghatiya (rubbish) phones being used nowadays, LeEco, Lyf, Xioami etc., those could never be compared with a Samsung or brands like that at first place! Also just by seeing a phone, that too used by other people, you can't conclude a decision, let alone recommending it to someone!!! Weird!
Note4life only note 6 next!!!
N-910F
I'd honestly say that the Note 4 is a excellent device even by today's standards. I've seen some retailers sell it at a much lower price than when I purchased mine last year.
