Note 3 to Note 5? Thoughts,

[recDNA]

Hey all, my N3 is about to be replaced by Asurion, and they have offered me the option of N4 or N5. So I am just looking for anyone who has experience, of going from N3 to N5 direct? And if there was a preference to which phone they like the best - N3, N4 or N5?
I am hesitant to go to N5, as it has no memory card option, and they refuse to give me the 64 GB N5.
I am posting this in N4 and N5 threads, hopefully, I can get some feedback, thanks.

One warning... If you want simultaneous voice and data you must enable advanced calling (not sure of jargon) and some claim it causes problems (battery life? I don't remember the problem).

If you enable that option and drive from a lte zone to a 3G zone (which I do every day) if you are on the phone the call is dropped.

If you are in a 3G zone simultaneous voice and data does not work at all. These things are of no consequence if you are never out of 4G range.

Go with the Note 4. Removable battery and sd card FTW

Note 3 to Note 4 or Note 4 to Note 5, is one thing, note 3 to note 5 is a no brainer, IMO

So, Asurion was actually kind enough to send me a Note 4 and 5, so I am actually "test driving" the N5 this week, and do love the streamlined everything...Note 5 battery is better than 3 (not a huge surprise), and the phone is super fast. the only issue I still have is, space, so I am still trying to figure out what to do with my movies, songs, and other work files, but if I keep the N5, I may have to get an OTG adapter for my 64 GB micro sd card, from the Note 3.
I will try out the Note 4 next week...and report back...I have a feeling, if it is close to the same speed as Note 5, I may stick with the 4. Let's see what happens.

Didn't even make it to the N4, loved N5 so much that I stayed. I did the smart switch from 3to5 and have about 4 Gigs leftover, and once I clean up some of the pics and vids, I may end up with more space. I did order an OTG card, so that I can use my 64GB Class 10 card on the phone, if needed.
So thanks to everyone for their help, I appreciate it.
