As title says, I'm glad that I returned the LG g3 and waited for the note 4. The g3 isn't horrible, but I'm way happier with the note 4.
So for those of you who switched from LG G3 to Note 4 what are your thoughts/ feelings about TouchWiz? Still with the switch? I'm a former Apple FanBoy but have been rockin my Nexus 4 for the last year and a half and really considering the LG G3. But keep hearing great things about the Note 4. I love the stock android on my Nexus 4 and not a fan of touchwiz or bloatware. I hear the G3 has very little. Just wondering whether the TouchWiz is that much of an issue for those of you switch to Note 4. Thanks!
I'd avoid the G3. The screen is poor,dull and washed out. It's slow and lags a lot with high battery drain and it feels underpowered. The Note 4 is much better,Touchwiz has improved a lot and it feels much less bloated and faster. The battery on the N4 is excellent and the low powered SAMOLED really excels compared to the G3. So really, summing up changing the N4 for the G3 would be a mistake.So for those of you who switched from LG G3 to Note 4 what are your thoughts/ feelings about TouchWiz? Still with the switch?

You said it, main reason the note 4 wins for me is the software. Saturated colors or not, note 4 sticks out for me. For the price point the g3 is at, it's a decent phone, but the note 3 is better and worth the extra $100 to me. I was just pointing out that a phones launcher such as touchwiz, shouldn't be the determining factor on getting a phone, not with good 3rd party launchers on the market.I got the G3 the day it came out and used it until the Note 4 dropped and now my GF has it and I have to disagree with some of these comments. The G3 is a fantastic device to me. Edged out by the Note 4 mainly because I like Samsung's software. The G3's screen is amazing and is probably the most accurate when it comes to true color. It isn't as vibrant and oversaturated as Samsungs which ppl had a hard time adjusting to, but definitely one of the best displays out there when it comes to true color.
I agree with the other 2. The g3 would be a good phone but does have the flaws listed above, it did feel like it was rushed out. As far as touchwiz, it is a big improvement over earlier versions, but I'm a nova user and nova goes on all my phones including the g3. I like the features nova offers like gestures, I like my swipe up to get settings, swipe down for notification bar, double tap to shut screen off, which all is customizable. I like that I can change icon size, change label color, icon theme, scroll dock, and more. So for me nova is worth every penny I paid for it, there is a free version with less options. The nice thing about nova or any third party launcher is no matter what phone you get you don't have to learn a new launcher, throw nova on and you feel at home again.
With that said, the note 4 just feels more polished to me, runs smoother and I feel the faster chip pays off on the note 4. But it is more money so you have to decide if it's worth the extra cash, for me it was.
Here is a picture of my
Home screen showing my icon pack, smaller icons, label colors. Nova all the way.

Thank you.Like your home screen, which icon pack is that? I run Nova as well, absolutely the best launcher, imo.
