A Little Help?

[recDNA]

Hi! I have a Note 3. Pictcure quality is not a big deal to me. I am on VZW. Can someone enumerate reasons I would want to buy a note 4? In what ways ia it better than note 3. What does 4 do that my old 3 does not? Thanks!

First, a quick hardware comparison:

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - Phone specs comparison

Big beats: The Note 4 has a higher-resolution screen, a higher-resolution pair of cameras, optical image stabilization on the camera, a better/faster processor set, better noise cancellation, a fingerprint scanner.

In addition to those, there are improvements in S-Pen and its features, and of course it will get Android upgrades for a year longer since it's a year newer.


The Note 3 is still an excellent phone. If none of the above improvements excite you, I'd wait until the Note 5 comes out and choose between that or a (by then) greatly-reduced-price Note 4.

natehoy covered the key differences/improvements well. I'm also on Verizon, and have as good as or better than coverage compared to the Note 3 - if that's an important factor for you. Mileage will vary for coverage based upon many factors, but overall its been good.

Thanks for your help and suggestions! Note 5 will only have 1 radio like all new android phones. This means in 3g vzw has no simultaneous voice and data. N4 the last with 2 radios

Does the note 4 have Qi ? I wish somebody discounted brand new vzw note 4. I have unlimited data so I pay full price for phones. Vzw charges full price even for older model phones. They never go on sale and I do not trust used phones.
