Samsung Galaxy Note 4 announced (goodnight sweet iPhone)

[mr4wdTRD]

Just posted in the S&T section about this. It's really cool. and thats coming from a serious iphone fan. but its still not cool enough for me to switch again.

Literally, the only reason i switched to android before was screen size... it was a disaster. Between bloatware, slow downs, crashes, and horrific battery life, ill never buy another android again. And with the iphone 6 addressing the screen size problem, ill happily upgrade.

LOL @ thinking the iPhone is even slightly relevant anymore. They fell behind the game with the Galaxy s3


I got the s3 the day it came out, then skipped the s4 and got the note 3 the day it came out... Will use my Note 3 until the Note 5

Note 3 has been very stable even with all the games my son downloads on it.
Also, got 2 days on battery pretty easily.

How long ago did you try Android and with what phone?

I support both iPhones and Android at work. The vast majority of the issues that I have are with the iPhone users.

I am not an Android fanboy. I actually have an iPad mini and love it. But IMO, when it comes to phones Android > iOS

i dont remember the date. but it was when the S3 was released.

exactly. the issue is the users, not the phone itself. Most iphone users are the type that are generally technologically illiterate.

might as well buy a little laptop....

can you get phone service on a Galaxy Tab 10.1?

why didn't you crack your phone to improve the OS?

[Ace Thedics]

Correction: walking around with a headset/-phone connected to their man purse.

happy?


And yes, im not fully Autistic like most miscers so I still talk to people on my phone.

you sound awfully prissy ITT

That's not even needed anymore, and I would have to agree, the S3 was a laggy, bloated POS with terrible battery life. My Note 3 charges up to full instantly and has given me 0 problems since buying it in Feb. No slowdown, no nothing. Currently have an iPhone 4s as well.

if by "crack" you mean root. i did.

that doesnt change the horrific battery life, crashes, or the fireball in my pocket when using LTE.

Good thing there are tons of different android phones to choose from that are better than the one iphone available.

Also strong manlets complaining about the size of their pockets.

I am a samsung s4 user and i am very happy with this device. Will stick with samsung! Wish note 4 was water resistant!

I didn't have good luck with my S3 battery either. But with my Note 3 I can get 2 days on a full charge.

im not denying that there arent viable options in the android phone market now. but that doesnt change the bad taste i have now for them.

I bought Ford and Dodge trucks in the past, had bad luck, and bought toyota. never had a problem. so why switch? im just buying what i know works for me.

LOL Obviously a troll post to get a rise out of people. Don’t ever bring up iphone as it is obsolete and has been for a while now.

[hardgainer1337]

does it have functions like calling and text msgs?

[Pinn]

Note 3 owner checking in. Awesome device!

the notes are really good phones. dont they have a 3000+mah battery though? that makes a big difference.

[brent89]

This phone is not in the iphone level tho. It's way way way better the iphone or any phone. The iphone would be against the S5. The note series is for people who basically want a full computer in a tiny package. It's like putting a Ferrari against a BMW. Both very nice, but the Ferrari is miles ahead

the iphone is not obsolete. if it was, it wouldnt sell as well as it does.

in no way am i trolling. im simply stating my personal experience.

i even complimented this new note, so where do you get "trolling" from? im not here to convince anyone which one is better, or they shouldnt buy one or the other.

[jason_bh]

Yeah, they have a 3200 battery. First Android phone where I was really impressed with the battery.

yes that's what I meant lol IDK why I said crack.

some of those probs still happen with the iphone though.

I just went on a 2 week vacation and used my mom's iphone 5 a lot.

Sure, it did crash much less often than my 4yo EVO 4G (lulz) and overall, the interface was smoother, but I still don't feel like I'm missing so much by having a 4yo phone.

I did notice the iphone 5 getting hotter than my EVO tho. Also, the battery wasn't that much better. We used it one day to take pictures and it was dead by 2pm.

[rocketfish]

although I bash iphone (only for good reasons tho) I do own an iPad for my son. He had an android tablet, but the educational games for kids are terrible on there and there are very few compared to iPad. That Android tablet was sold.

Androids are GOAT on phones especially if you're getting a top tier phone. You simply cannot go wrong with the S5 features or the new note 4.

Apple are GOAT on tablets due to their ipad app store being really good for all ages. (toddlers to adults)

[weightsb4dates]

mirin new note 4, gf has the note 3 and its pretty bad ass, may be picking this up, probably gonna wait till spring tho and see the htc one m8 successor

sure, some experience that on iphones. i personally havent. in fact, i've not even crashed once even with the latest jailbreak. so either im really lucky, or its actually pretty stable. pretty fortunate because in the past after JB it crashed quite a bit.

i can honestly say though, without bias, none of my iphones ever got warm, let alone hot when using them.

iOS7 on my iphone 5 seems to drain the battery quick. im generally around 15-27% by 5pm with heavy use. that sucks.

[digitalchi]

mirin pen...thats about it

[jason_bh]

I can certainly understand where people would like to stay with the iPhone over the variety that is available out there. The reasons IMO would be aesthetics of the iPhone, simplicity, and they are heavily invested in the App Store. But the reason shouldn't be that Android phones are inferior to the iPhone. That's just not the case any more.

Having said that, I like having both an Android and iPad. Best of both worlds.

honestly, the ONLY reason. ONLY reason..... is imessage. my entire family uses iphones so sending full res photos and vids of my daughter is easy. there isnt a solution other than upload and sending a link from an android decive that satisfies that. and when you have technologically illiterate family members who cant even click a link its annoying.

anyways, gym time. ill check back later.
