I'm thinking of upgrading my Galaxy S3 (running Android 4.3) to a Note 4, almost entirely because I like the idea of the larger screen. Will it 'feel' like an upgrade in perfomance speed too?
I'm thinking of buying my Note 4 from Ebay, but I have a couple of technical questions.
1. GSM Arena says my S3 processor (CPU) is "Quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A9" and the Note 4 CPU is "Quad-core 2.7 GHz Krait 450 (SM-N910S) Quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 & Quad-core 1.9 GHz Cortex-A57 (SM-N910C)". Does this mean the S3 has one CPU and the Note 4 has THREE? Or are these three alternative models and I have to know which I need and to be sure of which I am buying on Ebay?
2. GSM Arena also says the Note 4 operating system is " v4.4.4 (KitKat), v5.0.1 (Lollipop), upgradable to v5.1.1". Does that mean some models are v4.4.4 and some other versions of the Note 4 are v5.0.1 upgradable to v5.1.1? If so, I'll not want to buy a 4.4.4 one, or if I get one running that is that too definitely upgradable to v5.1.1?
3. And finally is there anything else I should be wary of version-wise if buying a Note 4 for use here in the UK?
Thank you very much indeed if anyone can help with these questions before I take the plunge.
