Future Android User

[Dominick079]

Hello Everyone,

I have been a BlackBerry user for the past 7 years and basically do not like the direction the company is going in so I am going to switch to Android for the first time. I have also been a AT&T customer for the past 7 years and I am eligible for a upgrade but I am undecided on whether to get the upcoming Galaxy S5 or to wait for the eventual release of the Note 4. I wanted to know if there are any rumors on when the Note 4 is suppose to be released and what the specs are rumored to be. I currently have a BlackBerry Z10 and although I have been very happy with the device it is definitely time for a change. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to AC! Glad you decided to try Android. The Galaxy S5 is a pretty nice device (the processor is wicked fast). Whether you decide to wait for the Note 4 or the GS5, I'm sure both will do whatever you want them to do.

Welcome to the AC!

I'm not a note fan so I can't help you there. Lots of nice devices coming out this year.

Are there any rumors on when the Note 4 is supposed to be released? I know the GS5 is coming out in April but didn't hear anything about the Note 4. I was under the impression that the Note's tend to superior to the Galaxy's.

Anything close to the April release date of the Galaxy S5?

You'll probably see the Note 4 around September, maybe October. Just an educated guess though

LG G3 is rumored for May and the HTC One should be coming soon as well

Give the new HTC One a look also. It's one of the more sophisticated Androids out there IMO.

My girlfriend has the current HTC One and it is a beautiful device but it doesn't accept SD cards so I doubt the new HTC One will either.

One max has sd card. One has an sd card, depending on region, but not in the usa

Welcome to Android Central
The GS5 is looking to be like an awesome phone. I'm personally waiting for the Moto X successor.

We really haven't heard much when it comes to Note 4 rumors--probably because the hypebeast has all been about the S5 in the last few months. We'll probably start hearing rumblings about the next Note in the next month, is my guess.

Be cautious about choosing a Samsung device purely for the external SD card support though--there just seem to be a lot of threads describing problems, including cards getting corrupted or being incompatible, or difficulties with playing music files from them.

Welcome to the forums. I see the SD card is pretty important. That said, your options are pretty much Samsungs for the time being, and the HTC Max.

The Note and S line aren't meant to overlap. Each is superior to the other for 6 months after their respective release, at least in terms of specs.

Ok thank you and I will keep that in mind. I will be probably be getting the 32 GB SG5. Have there been issues with the San Disk Ultra 64 GB card in Samsung devices?

There's issues with all sorts of brands. Best thing to do is format the card inside the phone before you begin to save data on there

Yes I like the option to be able to save applications and media files on a SD Card. That was one of my gripes about my BlackBerry Z10 it doesn't allow you to save applications on there and the 16GB internal is sometimes not enough. That's why I will probably purchase the 32 GB version of the SG5 with my San Disk 64 GB should be more than enough lol

You can't store apps on the SD card with Android either

Ok thanks and that's the same thing I did with my Z10 and never had any issues

Oh I was under the impression that you could. Then I am definitely getting the 32 GB version of the S5. Was there a time that you could with the earlier versions of the Android OS? How much internal memory is used up with the Kit Kat 4.4.2? Sorry about all the questions as I am going to be a first time Android user. Been stuck in the BlackBerry twilight zone for 7 years lol
