Hi, I searched the internet to find that there are two phones I can buy which are in my range: Galaxy grand and galaxy note. I have to choose one of them. Please tell me which one I should buy and why.. some points like larger screen, s pen, 1.4 GHz processor are making me want to buy the note. The websites on first page of google also tell that note is better, but I want to know what you guys think?
I will buy used phone, as prices of new ones are almost double.
What is the average battery life of these mobiles? Not the standby time which they say on the features list, but the average usage time as experienced by the users. Are there any hardware related problems which many users generally face? Should the fact that note is one year older bother me?
If anyone is reading from Pakistan, I would love to take a look if you suggest me another phone with second-hand price around 23,000 to 29,000 PKR, having more than 4.3 inch screen, at least 8 mp camera, jelly bean and at least 1.2 GHz processor?
I currently have HTC sensation so I don't want to switch to an HTC device.
Thanks.
Note 1 is way better
Note has better gpu than grand
Grand has poor diaplay compared to note..
Spen is unique abt note..
Camera too also is better of note..
I compared both devices in real lifre I feel note better
So I bought note = better..
Both devices will get 4.2.2 as last update (thogh not officially confirmed)
Battery back of note is good..
Its good in playing games..
Note has way better development than grand..
All roms exists for note..

Thanks, what's the battery life in hours? Sensation's life is around 6 hours with normal use and games and heavy browsers drain whole battery in maximum one hour. I will be highly inclined towards one phone if it has much more battery life in comparison.

Just a little update:
Thanks again for all your help, I have purchased Note 1 as suggested by all
Last question is, Is it true that Note does not have blinking LED lights for notifications?
Yes its true. But you can use NoLed.. Search for it..

Note 3 that is the phone I want

I loved my Note 2 but it was just to big. Using it everyday was fine but having somewhere to put it was a pain. Go to a game and try to put it in your front pocket and set down was impossible. I found myself holding it all the time which sucked. The S4 has been the perfect size to use it in the real world if you're active. Just my two cents...
I love my S4 but am also do for an upgrade and will be getting Note 3 when it drops.

Came from the S3 to the S4 too. Loved my S3 and the S4 is just the next step up. Great phone, perfect size, awesome screen. The note 3 is a pretty sweet phone too. It's up to you if the hugeness of the note is an issue or not.

Currently on the s4 no plans if getting the note 3
I would get the note 3
That snapdragon 800 is awesome
And the increase in size will make it feel newer longer

I am staying with my s4 waiting on s5 so whatever the note 3 has now will be the past and old by the time the new galaxy s5 comes out anyways its part of marketing scheme new features better hardware etc..
Also don't want to bigger then this 5inch screen its just right for me but everyone has there own preference. Battery life is great on stock kernel with custom roms.

There is a sticky thread to discuss upgrading
I experience something interesting after updating to kitkat.
Yesterday morning, I found my Nexus 7 with the update notification. Battery was at 55%, so I have installed the update. I left the Nexus 7 at 50% (updated to kitkat). When I returned home in the evening, the battery was at 47%.
Previously, My nexus 7 could loose from 10-25% in 12 hours of standby.
I just charged up the tablet, to see if the second charge is similar (or if it was a battery calibration glitch).
Battery life while using was similar as before.
Don't tell me that you created a new thread just to tell us how unpredictable battery can be after OTA ?
I'm getting poor battery life as well trying to figure out whats causing it

Im on latest purity with a65 and never got such bad drain. Watching YouTube for 1hour took 30%

Thread closed as battery life depends on users' usage.
I have recently bought a new original battery of note from Samsung but I'm scared how long will it survive and prevent my phone from flickering that's why I'm confused whether to sell phone or not please advice me how many months my battery will prevent flickering thanks

That's easy: wait until it starts flickering again and then buy again a new battery. Count the months and you'll know.
If you really sell your device it would protect us from questions like this one
Thanks will try that as battery is too expensive

Some threads are just too butt-clenching for the ordinary Joe.

Depends entirely on the battery and your use. I would say 5 - 25months.

He wasn't asking about the Note nor a Lollipop to Kit Kat comparison.
