If you're looking to use it for more than 2 years I'd get the Z5. Note 4s tend to die around the 2 year mark.

I thought about that as well but then after research I found out that the Note 4 is supported buy many customs roms while the z5 lacks that

[Q] Too late to buy the N7000?

Hey guys!
Do you think it's too late for me to buy the galaxy note n7000 (international version)?
I know that the N7100 (Galaxy Note 2) has been released and will launch mid-October~mid-November..
It even has pre-orders started on UK sites such as clove.co.uk and handtec.co.uk
I'm just wondering if you think it's a waste of money to buy the n7000 right now as opposed to paying 200 more dollars and buying the N7100.
I did the math and the Note n7000 in brand new is $540 at expansys-usa.com
and the Note 2 N7100 in brand new is $740 at clove.co.uk, handtec.co.uk...
Do you think I should go with the original or the new one?
ALSO!!!!!
******Do you guys know if the original note N7000 will have an update along with Jellybean such as the airview, new camera update and other features from the N7100?
I think u should wait for note 2 if u have more money better hardwear and yes note 1 wilk have jelly bean update i think in nov likr in a month and half so its all ur choice
Development-wise, I'd say go for the original note. If you look at our forum here, we have ripe roms, kernels, mods, and tweaks what not that are sure to cater to everyone's tastes. That, plus It'll take a while for development to start with the note2. And if you'll have a look at azrienoch's latest vid, (if what he says does come through, which I really do hope does not) things aren't so rosy.

the new note won't get airview and won't get camera updates making it faster cause there are hardware improvements required for those updates.. You better buy the note 2
if you ask me this is just the right time to buy note if you find with reasonable price. because note just got a decent rom LRT. has enough hardware power and versus note 2 for me i prefer 1280 * 800 over 1280 * 720. but dont forget my reasonable price requirement. here in Turkey they still sell it from 880 USD.

if money is not an issue, I'd say you go for the Note 2. Clearly... it has all the best and right features that the original one has yet to get. Hardware wise.. the original one isn't even comparable enough (we'll unless you overclock it, but still.. it has a limitation to it). Software part.. the new Note 2 has the official stock TW JB 4.1 installed already... Something that all of us here using the original one is still yearning to use and experience. Yeah there are a lot of custom JB Roms out there... but nothing still beats the official JB that Samsung has released already for the new Note.
So yeah, Go for the Note 2.. that is the best recommendation I can offer you.
P.S. Don't ask for any ETA updates when Samsung will release the official JB, co'z it's anybody's guess when they're going to release it. It might be this next month.. or next year.. who knows.....
Its already been launced in India y'day and estore price $758 (offering free bluetooth headset)
But usally in open market you should get 15-20 $ less to it.
Indian user may get some benefit by raising Rs value to $ since 1wk, i think its at least 2.5Rs / $ in last 5 days. ultimately make cheaper Rs1500 or more.
Back to topic
In my point of view, Note 2 is worth to spend 200$ extra
I agree, You should ideally hang out for the Note 2 if you can afford it
Thats not to say the Note 1 is becoming obsolete ! The Note 1 is still an awesome device with plenty of life left in it.
And if you can get it for a great price, then you wouldnt regret it !
Im going to get the Note 2 and give the Note 1 to my misses. (she thinks she's getting the Note 2 because its her time for a renewal ! my my my, How wrong is she ! lol )
It's too early to buy the N7000. After the launch of the N7100 prices N7000 will decline significantly. If $ 200 is not a problem I would advise to buy N7100.
I got my Galaxy Note 2 weeks ago and very happy with it, The reason I didn't wait for the Note II is that I don't really need all the new features of the Note II.
As I said before my Note serves all my needs and also the new apps added in the latest ICS 4.0.4 makes the Note alot better and smoother.
At the end it is personal preferences.

Oh note ll is priced around 40K in india or around 750$... Its too costly right now

The Note is still worth it's money. If the Note 2 is too expensive for you then go for a Note. You won't be disappointed.

Right
Once jellybean will added to note 1, then you can't say 200$ is worth to pay for note 2.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
For me the only disadvantage of the Note is the burn in problem. And that has not been solved with the Note 2. Ok there is quad core, nfc and lte. I don't need those but I cannot speak for you.

Any guesses about price
Should be around 58 k
Well if they wanna stay and track and dont want their note 4 to face the same situation as S5.. They must price it for 42k max.. And a sd 805 is a must.. But exynos is better too
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Doesn't seem a much awaited upgrade to the note 3,Samsung could have thrown in all the hardware and really gone for the kill.Slight larger screen,64bit processor,larger battery,4gb ram,Metal and probably a new design.
If anything now they wanna do,is to keep the price around 45,000rs
Happy with Note 3.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 using XDA app.
A5777, smartphone market is saturated enough, no oem can give big upgrades in a few months time, the phone already has metal and better design than previous versions, note 3 users may not find it substantial but for the rest of the world it's worth every penny. Hope they keep the price reasonable
Lets not blame nd find faults wid the SoC dis time... Lets b happy whateva version v get nd discuss how to improve the user experience in either of the versions...
Sme of the features of S-pen r quite useful coz thts wht a pen is supposed to do... Whereas the gimmicks on the fone continue... Ram needed to b upgraded...
well we getting a 64 bit SOC exynos with 4g LTE... this is what I have heard..
and yep exynos is better than SD always.. just cause of less samsung documentation and half baked sources exynos fails....
but for a normal user both the SOCs are awesome

There wasn’t much buzz about Samsung Galaxy
Note 4 in India except among geeks and rich
people. After all the Samsung Galaxy Note series
is usually very overpriced and there isn’t anything
very innovative about the phone to make it worth
its price. Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is not too
different but it does seem to have some not so
useful yet very cool features that might just make
spending the humongous amount seem cool if not
worthwhile.
Samsung says that the Note 4 will be available
globally in October in four colours -- Black,
White, Pink and Gold. Sources within Samsung
said that India was likely to be among the first
countries where the Note 4 would go on sale.
For now there is no word on the price of the
device but we expect it to cost around Rs
50,000.

The note series is not just for geeks and rich people,its for anyone who want more productivity from their smart phones,my note 3 is my first note and i would not like to ever get back to any smart phone,which doesn't has a function like S pen and all the features of the note 3.yes its priced on a higher side,Which is on par with all flagship devices of other companies and its way better and cheaper than the FRUIT company

Help on buying new device

Hi. After two (tragic) years with Xperia SP, i'm deciding to sell it to buy my first flagship device this week. Currently, I have three options: Xperia Z3, Oneplus One or Zenfone 2 4gb. What do you guys think is the best of these three, considering the price and development support? TIA

Asus Zenfone 2 uses Intel chipset so as of now very little development support. Otherwise it is best & cheapest option.
Amongst 1+1 and Z3 I would definetely choose Z3 anyday.
Thanks for the reply. Any thoughts about LG G3?

Ofcourse LG G3 is an excellent choice but it has 1 bad flaw .. it is the battery
However, the another features are fantastic . contains a good camera , software and design
But in my opinion , The Z3 is the best choice of them

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
