Picked up the s5 today. Love it thanks for the advice

Good choice. Whether you picked the Note 3 or S5... both are top of the line solid devices.

Yeah.. ok... explain.... pretty general statement.

I was just about to post the same thing. Unless you can back that statement sir then generalizing it like that is not useful.

Hello new to the forum here. I'm going tomorrow to purchase a new phone and I'm going to make the move to samsung. I was just wondering what was the better device the note 3 or the s5. Just so you know my background I run a business and am always on the move. Thanks

Well the extra gig of ram on the note and the s-pen is amazing! id get the note 3 but the s5 is also good since it have better camera ect but i prefer the note 3 but thats just me

I've now learned that my AT&T S5 was running a launcher called TouchWiz

Actually, TouchWiz is not a launcher. A launcher is basically just a homescreen interface--very superficial. TouchWiz is coded into the actual operating system and runs much deeper into the system. TouchWiz exists all over Samsung phones and there are parts of it that cannot be changed via launcher.

Welcome to AC
Personally, I'd take the Note 3 if you don't care about the water/dust resistance and the fingerprint scanner on the S5. Those are the only real advantages I see on the S5, and aren't a big deal for me.

I'd say wait for Note 4 (next month?) and we probably have all that and a bag of chips.

Yeah, saw that too late. Words of wisdom for me though. I'm waiting to see what the Note 4 actually delivers when revealed. If I don't like it, will probably get S6 or Note 5. Now, if I didn't already have the S4, I might have to consider other options, but...
