Coming from Note 3?

Hello, current N3 owner and thinking about trying out the G3. Curious if any of you who have the phone came from the Note. If so, what are your thoughts? I like my Note alot but always like change. Thanks

Im a note 2 owner and its a fun device. I hate vanilla android and love touchwiz etc... Lg home is more vanilla than touch wiz that would be my silly gripe. I find the size almost perfect. Camera is great battery life is about the same as my note 2. I never used the s pen so i dont miss this function.

Thanks, same here on the S-Pen... I think the size will be perfect as sometimes I find my N3 just a tad too big.
Also came from the note 2. I loved the device, but I do prefer a more vanilla, or less convoluted experience than Touch whiz. The tw features that I actually used and where useful to me are present on the g3. The camera is night and day compared to the note 2. Takes great more natural looking shots than the s5 imo. I did use the s-pen when I remembered it was there... It was always more of a novelty to me. I could no longer justify the price tag that the note 4 is sure to come with when the g3 has the size and features I actually use, and your able to get them for a steal on contact at $99. I've loved the non Samsung/touch whiz change.
I'm sure the note 4 will not disappoint, but the g3 has been an excellent experience so far.
I had the note 2 and 3 .... This was something to play with till the note 4 comes out

Okay...
Yeah at 99.00 this phone is a steal and the note 4 will undoubtedly be the 349.00 price which is a lot. If the note 4 gets the so called retina scan feature i still doubt id get one.

I had note 2 & loved it, but was a bit disappointed in the # of roms to flash, got nexus 5 in Feb & missed the extra real estate something fierce. I'm thinking of note 3, LG, or HTC one max. I see there's no root for this yet. When is the note 4 supposed to come out anyway

I traded my note 3 for this brand new LG G3 off craigslist and a few things stand out. The battery last longer and the display is beautiful and the camera is sick with the instant focus. I hate when a phone have issues trying to focus or just not fast at doing it. Couldn't believe it has the same screen size as the note but yet feels smaller which is awesome. The sound is from the external speaker a little louder and crisper too. Its a good phone from LG.

It's a black note 3 on sprint. I never looked to see if they had a unlock method. I just bought the phone to mess around with it. I own many devices. It is in mint condition. I already have a gold g3. I always like to have two of the devices I mainly use. If really interested then pm me and we will work out the trade.

Looks like if you can get sprint to internationally unlock it there is a domestic unlock for it. I will research more for you.

I am coming from a Note 2. I am not at all disappointed with the phone, except the battery. I take it off the charger at 5am and can't seem to get past 3pm no matter my settings. I am also disappointed with development. I understand it's got limitations with boot loader, but the S2 and GN2 had root and custom ROMS within days of release. If I would have read more into development with LG phones, I would have waited for the GN4.

You might get yourself up to speed. Things have changed since the Note 2. Have you seen the development for the Note 3? Expect worse for the N4! Pray for safestrap let alone root for the N4!
Another thing ive come to enjoy on this vs the note 2 you can add themes to individual message threads which although no big deal none of my other phones stock messaging had that feature

Best Feature to buy Samsung Galaxy Note 7

What is the best selling point that you feel very convincing for you to buy?
Let us discuss here... Poll your best reasons.
Even as a long time Note User (Note3-Note5) I liked the s7 Edge's design enough to lose my s pen to switch over to it. Now that the Note7 is here, I'm ready to jump back into the S Pen....
To answer your question the "glance" feature (yes I know its just software and available on note5 with custom rom) but that is just so incredible. I can't wait to use that for multitasking.
Also, the iris scanner combined with password entry and hiding apps just because you aren't the one looking at the phone is pretty tight!
Thats an easy one.
Ext sd card support.
Thats the main reason im ditching my note 5 and going note 7.

The "glance" feature isn't always on display, its an s pen feature which let's you switch back and forth between different apps very easily just by hovering with the s pen.

I would agree that if you have an S7 edge and dont need the Spen not much point in buying one.
But for those who dont have an S7 edge and are in the market for a new device (like myself) the fact that the note is a copy is quite irrelevant.
Perhaps you didnt consider that?

Perhaps you didn't consider the $400 price difference. If that spen is worth $400 extra then I hope you really use it 24/7. I personally use it the first weeks only then I rarely use it. It is good to have there but for me bigger battery was a must.

$400 doesnt mean much to me honestly,not trying to sound like an ass but its just not a big deal on my end.
Im not a fan of the edge screen at all and if they had not toned it down on the note 7 i would not be buying one so thats the main reason Id go note over S7 edge.
I dont use the Spen alot either lol...bigger battery would have been nice for sure but as it is its 500 mah more than my note 5 so for me its a bonus.

I am trying to look at the bigger picture here and consider any customer in the market but if I like the device $400 is not a problem for me either. These manufacturers have broken our balls with such small upgrades and even after so many years we still don't have a perfect device. They hold back on hardware upgrades on purpose just so that users can have another reason next year to buy the new flagship. It is annoying. I still am convinced that the S7 Edge is Samsung's best phone this year. Performance wise and battery wise.

Yes it is, but I usually buy device after it becomes kind of old, after 6 month, so price reduces around 30%..
I used note 2 for almost 3 years, and i never felt to buy another phone, because it was fast with custom rom, I was able to play any game, I upgraded to note 5 just for the sake of camera.
So maybe I will buy note 7 after few months.

If you need a waterproofed Note, you're using it wrong. Going from a Note 4 to the 7. The 5 wasn't for me. The addition of the SD did it for me and believe it or not the gif creator.

Not a great review. A lot of detail and words but little understanding that the Note 7 is greater than the sum of the parts. The Note 7 will be a massive sales hit because of the complete package not becuase of a specific hardware feature or design feature. This reductionist approach to reviews looks very authoritative but does not reflect how people really use devices or how the users discovers different and clever applications for the Notes's unique features.

Are you sure?
In Europe, Samsung declared not to distribute the note 5, cause people just purchased a note to have bigger display.
Even if I hated these considerations, I must admit I know many note 4/3 owners with untouched spen.
So the reviewers probably aren't so far from truth...
