Was thinking about Sll ? what do you guys think ?

I think if you want better performance than s1 you should buy htc one x, or sgs3. Nexus 4 is very good think too .
It depends on your budget. Galaxy S II plus is coming soon, that might be a nice upgrade compared to the S plus. But the S III is a very nice phone too, but very expensive...
If you like a big ROM and developer community with the latest android versions, take the nexus 4. Depending on your budget you could think also about a note 2.

When I saw i9100 I wanted to have it, but it was too expensive and I bought i9000. Very good phone but recently I bought S2 and I'm also satisfied. I still have a fondness for S.
Buy something better, e.g S3, if you can afford.

I love a big rom with a crazy dev commun, thats the reason ive become a andriod fanboy
Nexus 4 is best with its 2gb of ram
SII, SIII, N4, Xiaomi MI2. All great choices. I think I'll go for MI2 soon since others are too big IMO
I am a Sprint customer and currently own a Lg Optimus G. I am ready for an upgrade and am gonna go for a 2 year contract, my question is should I go for the previous Note 3 for only $99 ? Or get the new Note 4 for $299 ? I was also considering the G3 but with the problems I had with the Opimus Im not sure if I want to go back to LG, plus the Note seems to offer a lot of cool features I am interested in. Also is there any new news on the Note Edge? Ive only heard of it not seen it. Thanks for any help.
the note 4 is a great phone just go with the latest and greatest! The edge is coming out on the 14th for ATT and i know that because i work for ATT but idk about the other carriers.
If you can wait another 3 to 4 months with upgrading, the Note 4 will probably drop another 150 in price. Honestly the difference in price between the 3 and 4 is not really justified.
You would not be disappointed with either choice but the Note 4 is definately a noticeably better phone. If you're going to keep it for two years, you're probably better off going for the newer phone if you Can afford it.

For me its not even close. Some say the Note 4 isnt enough of an upgrade over the Note 3, for me its a HUGE upgrade over it. The pen alone is far better on the note 4, but even the multitasking and the screen and the feel of the phone, and the faster Android L and so on and so forth... Id say go for the Note 4. Im currently using the Note 3 while my 4 is in the repairshop and I really miss a lot from the Note 4...

The Note Edge looks interesting, how much will it be?
I am thinking I will go with the newer Note 4 or Edge since I will have it for the next 2 years. It just sucks having to spend the extra $200 for it. Will there be a lot of developement for it? And any other phones (Sprint) that I shoyld take a look at before deciding? As I am still nit fully decided.
Note 4 without question, best phone I've had in years
Consider the Huawei Mate 7, and the Nexus 6. They are closer in regard to screen size, but for me they are merely big phones, lacking what makes the note 4 a great phone; spen, multitasking, the screen etc.

We need development? This phone is pretty close to perfect out of the box, it's the first phone I don't feel like I even have to root.
Hey everyone, Ive had a note 2 for 2 years now and samsung honestly has a lot of bloatware, also the phone is really slow now that even the youtube app would take 3-5 seconds to open. Which phone do u think is better and did anyone have the experience of their nexus 5 or 4 getting a lot slower in a matter of a year or two?? Thanks

I ditched my Note 2 Wed night for the Note 4 Developer Edition on VZW. If you are on VZW or ATT and you don't get a develop edition it may be a long time (if ever) for root and/or bootloader unlocking. If tweaking the device is important that will play a huge factor. As for lag...I am running a debloated rom (no knox or bloatware) and I froze S-voice...there is zero lag now, but you need root to do that.
I was down to either the Nexus 6 or N4 DE...whichever one I could buy first. I am not a fanboy of either as both have good and bad points and I am sure I would have been happy with either. My favorite thing about android is that if there is something I don't like or a feature I want, there is almost always a way to make it happen (assuming you have root and an unlocked bootloader). Hope this helps.
My short input: Hardware is better on the Note 4. Software better on the Nexus 6.
I chose the Nexus because I wanted to experience Stock Android. But I believe the Note is a better phone overall.

I had the Note 3 before I upgraded to the Nexus 6. In my opinion the Nexus 6 is beast & fast as all hell! I mean this thing is so fast out of the box without need to use a custom rom or anything like that. I never used the stylus so that's never been any issue for me when deciding to upgrade my device. Also the front facing speakers & the screen clarity is seriously AWESOME!
I haven't used a phone in years where I didn't feel the need to alter it to make it perform as I thought it should. I did root mine because I love using Titanium Backup and certain apps like that. I woudn't go back to my Note 3 for anything after using this! I don't recall being so happy overall with a device!!!
PS: I also feel that you will not notice much of a differance between the Note 2 & 4 but upgrading to the Nexus 6 will be a very new experiance you will enjoy!!!

Thanks everyone!
I bought nexus 6 and my sister bought note 4. My sister loves her note 4 and I am returning my nexus 6. Only Note series has right features for big screen. Nexus 6 is not very pleasant in use.
But it all comes down to what you need must. My sister doesn't care about software upgrades so it's a perfect phone her.
There reason I am returning my nexus 6 because of some issues. Battery life is meh. Its just big. And no led? Really I need to root to get it? That's just stupid. There is always cloud app fc. I mean come on brand new phone and a fc. It has no advantage over any other latest phone except the OS (that too experience some lag).
After using nexus 4 and then nexus 5. I am going back to my one plus one. Half Price and better performance then nexus 6.
Just to answer your question, if Samsung keeps their word go with international or developer edition note 4.

So i ended up getting the note 4, is there any way to get rid of all the bloatware and make the software just like the nexus phones? Have the roots came out yet?
Should've bought the nexus 6. Smh...
Although the Note 4 is ready to hold in the hand, the Nexus 6 is better in my opinion because there is no TouchWiz installed on it

Thats its only advantage tho, a lot of ppl say the battery life is not so good, my note 2 still has more battery life than some new phones.

Think that's a question for the note 4 forum...no one in the nexus 6 forum will have this issue.[emoji41]

ur right, and i cant move it!
I currently have a Note 4 on Verizon and I'm thinking of giving it to my daughter and getting the Nexus 6. As you know Verizon tries to lock down anything they can and the developers are having a hard time rooting the note. Much less unlocking the bootloader. I got the note because I thought I would use the pen feature a lot. But I rarely ever use it and I ready miss having root and am going though rom flashing withdraws. Anyway, I guess my question is has anybody else switch from the Note 4 and regretted it?
Thanks
Some people prefer the Note 4 and some prefer the Nexus 6. That will always be the case. Presumably you know the differences between the phones and you also know what you want, so really - asking this question of other people isn't going to help you.

Please refer to question #20.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3106029
I've had the Note 2, Note 3, and then the Note 4, which I returned after 2 days and got the Droid Turbo....which is now sitting in my desk drawer because I couldn't deal with the lack of Root. Picked up the Nexus last week and haven't been happier with a phone. Love the device. The Turbo is now my emergency backup phone if needed. I was using the Pen often but not often enough to worry about it, and I still have my Note Pro 12.2 if I REALLY needed to write something on (Digital) Paper.

I think you just answered your own question. The Nexus line will always be a hackers dream. Easy to root and customize. Follow your heart.
But here's a forum where someone asked that very question and got 45 responses. http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...-their-note-4-n6-happy-they-did-new-post.html
I have both and the only things I miss on the note 4 are:
External SD card support
battery life/ removable battery
Camera
That said I knew all that would happen before buying the nexus but bought it anyway because its awesome.
Haven't looked at my note 4 since I got the nexus lol.
current devices: Nexus 6, Note 4, 3, 2, S3, OneX+
Nexus 6.
That is all.

That was the exact same reasons I was thinking when I made the switch. Don't miss the note 4 at all really.. And of course the ability to root and ROM what else can be said lol

The boot loader on my note 4 isn't locked so rooting and flashing was never an issue for me but the nexus 6 was just too good not to buy lol..I fought the urge long and hard but caved eventually haha.

Nexus 6 doesn`t have KNOX and bloatware, that are reasons enough imo
Do you guys think it's a good switch? Coming from an s5, rooted custom as always. Will I be happy?

Had S4 for a while, was happy, but wanted bigger screen. Read some reviews and comparisons, watched some YouTube clips. Max Lee got his opinion on YouTube, should know him if you've been custom for a while.
S4 is older so there are a lot more custom ROMs, N4 is getting there.
Had it for about 2 months, I like it better than S4.
She always asks if I'm happy to see her or my note 4 is in my pocket
BTW when I first removed the battery cover, on the back side of it, it says, "You will be happy"! Good luck:good:
Good switch...but will you be happy...we can't decide or make such judgement for you.
You'll be happy for a few months, that is until the note 5 comes out. If I was you I'd wait it out a few more months and pick up a note 5 instead.
I'd be afraid if I wait for the 5 that they are gonna do what they did to the s6
Sent from my Galaxy S5 using Tapatalk
I'd also say wait. Then you'd have options, 5 or 4. And if it be still N4, then might find a better deal on it, stores or public getting rid of their obsolete N4
if note 5 becomes the s6...the note 4 will be on deals
Not sure about the galaxy 5 but I just came over from the M8 and I'm blown away by it, very happy I made the switch!
Note 4 is good to go and will be the one i keep for a while, easy to root, lots of customizations out there, and from all i have read and heard, the note 5 will be like the S6, no sd card or removable battery...but you never know...regardless, this thing is a beast and will be a fast phone that will get updated for a while.
Note 4 is wack! Completely wack! Either that or me and the 2 other people I know that personally have the phone all got lemons! I for real can't stand all the bugs and weird crap that my note 4 has a does. I'm getting another phone this week that's just my personal opinion. My note 3 was 100 times better.
It's a good switch.
We have the most roms
I switched yesterday, already rooted the same night and twrp, no hiccups. I like it better so far
Sent from my Galaxy S5 using Tapatalk
I own a Note 4 and absolutely love it.. TouchWiz still sucks and STILL makes it lag though but once I flashed an AOSP ROM on it holy f*ck does it fly with ZERO hiccups and now I can make the speaker volume even louder using FauxSound. Couldn't be more happy.. Either get a Note 4 or just wait til October for Note 5. Personally I'd probably wait but like another user said they might not include removable battery/SD card in the Note 5 but hey, in that case if you really wanted those features and they dont include them just get the Note 4 in October anyway, up to you.. That's what I would do though :good:

Funny I haven't had a single problem with mine yet, what bugs do you speak of?
Ditto. How could note 3 possibly b better than N4?
Wait for the note 5 to come out then if you care about saving money get the note 4 if not get the note 5. If you want a big screen that gives more freedom then just get a nexus or lg g4, they are on stock and dont have useless features like the s pen.

IMO the Note 4 is the best device made to date. No other comes close. The S-Pen is the most powerful tool for any Smart Phone made. I've had every top of the line device, nothing even comes close. Just my opinion.
