Definitely worth it.

You have the international S3, right. I had that one.
It will be a huge step up. Battery, screen, memory, camera, stock software are much much better.

For battery alone its worth the upgrade

If you have the option, pick Snapdragon. Much more dev support and CM is coming sooner or later.
Exynos has no development at the moment...:silly:
I just upgraded from S3 to S5 last week
Still got a stupid grin on me face now
Enjoy your s5

I see they're a lot of roms that were available for the s3 (slim bean, carbon, liquid etc.) available on the i9505 that aren't available for the i9500... Anyone know when this might change?
Cheers

If somebody steps up to develop, which might never happen. Since the veterans swear not to touch any Exynos device ever again.
S3 has lots of roms mainly bec. Steve from cm was working on it before and suddenly gave up, yeah that's right he gave up bec. of Exynos. The rest was history.
If you bought an exynos device and was hoping for AOSP support, you're gonna have a bad time

Well can't complain too much, my s3 i9300 went caput (a white screen everywhere EXCEPT for download mode), and managed to swing an s4 for just 50us brand new.... Long story.
Was running a miui rom on the s3... I plan on starting a thread to see if I an fix it when I get the chance.

Hello. Long time Android & XDA user here.
My old Motorola Atrix 4G is finally starting to die. So I decided to go out and start looking at a new phones.
Phones im considering:
1. Samsung Galaxy Note 2
2. Samsung Galaxy S4
3. Samsung Galaxy S4 Active
Now a liitle about me. Im a computer tech, I know a good bit about linux and windows OS. I sometimes for my job have to remote into servers to fix issues. Mainly Windows servers. Because of this I am already testing the Galaxy Note 2. I like the big screen and battery. But it is big. Maybe too big?
I also would and have flashed my previous phones to better roms so I would say a strong development community for the phone is a must. The more roms (stable) the better in my option.
I like the S4 because of the camera and the S4 Active for the "water resistant" & dust proof. I also like the IR blaster, something the note 2 lacks and the higher processor power.
My question at the end of the day is im looking for a phone that:
A. Has good remote desktop resolution
B. Good development community for roms
C. Maybe IR blaster
D. Resonable battery life
Im thinking the S4 Active but how stable is it compared to the S4?
Thanks for any feedback!
Dimitri
I'd definitely wait for the note 3 over the note 2.

They'll announce it in a couple weeks. No idea about availability but I wouldn't think it would be long after
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The active is nothing to write home about. It is garbage to many people and a failure on Samsung's part.
My wife has the Note 2. Huge screen. Not too big for the hands, fast and reliable, but bulky in an otter box. She is completely stock.
I have the S4. I was lucky enough to get it shipped directly from AT&T with MDL so I am able to flash all the ROMs I want from both The AT&T and T-Mobile forums. If i were to have gotten MF3, I would only be able to root.

That is entirely up to you. I personally love the S4. It smokes every phone out there and will probably continue to do so for the next year.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Too be completely honest go with a nexus 4 or the nexus 5 when it comes out. The s4 doesn't feel that much powerful. I still get lag and such. I came from a 1core family phones both Inspire and Infuse, but I jsut am not feeling it. If you want support you better get a T-mobile phone that has an unlocked bootloader because the s4 along with the note 3 has a locked bootloader.

I don't have any lag. Disabled animations and debloat as well as a few things like greenify help a huge amount. Android is made to customize. It is up to the user to do so.
The S4 is the top dog. Much better than the N4 on every aspect. Even on stock with locked bootloaders, the S4 destroys it.

I'm on a custom rom but I still don't feel it. The amoled screen really sucks. I always have it on full brightness but I can't see it outside at all. The battery life works for me as I have three other batteries. The camera is only good on TW as are other phones.

Do yourself a favor (if you haven't already done so) and read the "pinned" threads in the general and Q & A sections. It doesn't matter how much you know or don't know already, those threads contain information that needs to be known for this specific model phone.
I hope you enjoy the phone and I think you made a great choice. Good luck.
Hey guys am having a hard time making a decision over which variant of note 3 to buy, note really concerned about 3G or 4G, am only looking forward to buying the one with more support on XDA. Pls need your opinion on this.

Snapdragon version definitely

Snapdragon pretty much always has better dev support here.
snapdragon but samsung always releases new firmware and sources first on their exynos devices before snapdragon. I would go for an exynos because it is easier for me to tweak with perseus kernel and has better memory management. gets hot but the processor and gpu are easier to manipulate. Snapdragon is cool though. byt then again, thats just me ranting about
I really can't believe I did a early upgrade to the note 3 from a s3 and I can do more with my old s3 the my new note 3 I got just yesterday I'm really upset about the fact that I'm still on stock modded tw which is really sad I'm really starting to dislike the tw ui so when I got my new phone the note 3 I was hopping to try something new their so many custom firmware out their that I would love to see on my phone that I can't try this is such a let down now I'm stuck paying on a phone I really don't want at this point so on that note I think I'm going to keep using my old s3 less of everything but so much more to do with it this is just a sad morning for me....!!!

Had it for 2 days now, I think is pretty much the same as in KK, maybe a little better... No noticeable difference for me.
today samsung stil is giving old updates to phones no lollipop for s5 omg what is wrong with them to give the update to 2 countries and stop updating
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Free mobile app
Maybe Samsung did read XDA Forums after releaseing the bugged / not that good Lolipop build. And decided to do some more testing before they release in other areas. LOL
i don't know what is wrong with them even today the galaxy s4 gpe version get's lollipop
