It is a shame that , my samsung s6 edge is slowing down ,
i just got my note 5 , and try to make it a decent gift for my mom
and you know what , this southern lady refused to accept it and said :" my nexus 4 is smooth ,better then this lagggyiiiiiiiii note 5"
i bought nexus 4 for my mom like 3 years ago , it still goes smoothly even better than iPhone 6
i check out the System and what ? Original Android is better than anything else !!!!!!!!
fxxk the iPhone by pure edition android phone produced by Google is quite simple and easy
i wish google will find out that you still can make a thousand B Profits by selling real android phone

I haven't removed any bloat since I got my phone, i'm running it 100% stock so I can point out and laugh at these idiots trying to talk about how slow the phone is with all the bloat, well at least on the AT&T version there is pretty much no slow downs at all, this phone really is a workhorse. 6 days of use and it's not crashed or hard locked, it hasn't force closed an application while I was trying to use it, and it hasn't even done more than a slight hiccup when I first got it out of the box.
For the first 2-3 hours my phone was downloading apps and updates and installing everything so it was a bit slow during the first 2-3 hour time period. But ever since that all finished it has been flawless.
Yeah I don't know where anyone saying lag. Lag is non existence on the note 5 Verizon version.

I was very impressed by how lag free the Note 5 is after reinstalling the apps I had on my note 4. So far Samsung has produced a beast of a phone here!

This is a good point. If the story from OP is at all true its surely because his mom signed in, then it started auto downloading all of her apps, and it was laggy while it was installing 120 apps so she said she didn't like it. Other than that there is no chance this is even remotely true. I just went from a Nexus 6, which is leagues faster than the N4, to the Note 5 and its a huge improvement. I was not very impressed by the N6. Was quite slow right from the start. I went to that from the M8 and it felt slow out of the box compared to that. The Note 5 is the only phone I've used that impressed me more than the M8.
my note 4 was lag free when i first got it but i started noticing lag after a couple weeks of use..tw cause much of a slowdown
Lol the nexus 4 was the biggest piece of **** I've ever owned. You sir and your alleged mom are full of it. Does she have kik by any chance? ?
Absolutely no lag on the Note 5.

I am happy about note 5, but TBH my Nexus 6 even with dev. preview was smoother. 90% I am smooth sailing however sometimes I have hiccups like text message not showing up til like 30 seconds after the fact and a few force close every now and then. Nothing to complain about, I mean Nexus does have the stupid multi task bug where you switch between apps and and only half the screen shows up

W trust me, fastest phone ive ever used. I didnt even lower my animation down to .5 like i usually do.
Wouldn't surprise me the nexus 4 holding up so well. Nexus lack features, don't have the top tier specs but they "just work" even gnex ran pretty smooth on LP considering it's age and no more official support I say it held it's a lot better than other phones of that time

I agree. I've only had the phone for about 2 days but it is easily the fastest phone I've ever used. Noticeably faster than my wife's S6 which I thought was very fast. Hopefully it will stay that way.

I'm switching to T-Mobile in a few more days when my contract ends and was wondering on which phone to get. Would the Nexus 4 be a better choice then the Galaxy S4?

Depends on what you want. The downsides to the N4 are the camera, lack of expandable storage/removable battery and fragility of the glass back. Everything else on the N4 is a plus. The GS4 is better in most ways in terms of hardware but it feels awful in the hand and TouchWiz actually makes it lag despite having a Snapdragon 600. Personally, I'd choose the N4 since I don't feel there's anything on the GS4 that makes it worth hundreds of pounds/dollars more than the N4. It ultimately comes down to your own opinion though, nobody can decide for you.

It really depends on what your looking for. The Nexus is obviously easier to root and unlock the bootloader and such, but the S4 has better specs. i would get the HTC One

I've owned the gs4..just bought the n4 and to my surprise the n4 is faster and feels more fluent despite specs..it feels more premium..gs4 beats it everywhere else..
Granted the GS4 has better specs. My brother in law just got one on Verizon. Looks great, but the feel isn't as solid as the N4 IMO. Also no wireless charging is a negative for me at this point, because I bought a few of the wireless pads already lol.
N4 definitely feels more fluid and smooth. I feel like the n4 will "work" better than s4 in terms of development. But s4 beats it everywhere else. Speaking about n4 downfall.... I'm running out of space..Lol

Girlfriends got a GS4.
I used to have a GS3.
Just recently moved to N4 after getting tired of turning all my Galaxy phones into nexii and i don't miss a thing about the S3. The only thing I can give to the S4 is the 13MP camera that its got on the back but other than that I'm Nexus all the way. Feels way more fluid plus Touchwiz is pure rubbish in my opinion. Even my girlfriend wants me to root her S4 after seeing my Nexus in action.
It's all about what's a dealbreaker for you. For me it was the screen, i got tired of the saturation on AMOLED screens where whites looked like blues and yellows compared to the N4.
Cheers
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I would either get GS4 GE or Mi 2S
Id get the gs4.. It has expandable storage, removable battery, better camera, screen plus its made of polycarbonate which is an amazing material. Processors also faster and alot of the samsung software is excellent. I used to hate touchwiz but nowadays it is actually a feature and not a con imho.
The N4 is cheaper though and as others have stated, it feels nice in the hand, is better looking and has wireless charging. For me however, GS4>N4 and i would trade my N4 for one any day if i could cover the difference.
Youll be happy with whichever one you get

If you're getting it on contract and don't care for price i would recommend the gs4 just cause its newer and has better hardware but still the n4 is smoother as I've used both. If it were me I would get the one over both though or the one Google edition

I am on S2. Found the N4 fm retailer at 360 euro and the S4 at 485 euro..
Should I go for the Nexus?
Appreciate insight..
p.s. my biggest concern is lack of expandable storage and nexus bugs as reported here in xda (S4 bugs too)
If I had the cash I'll definitely go for the S4, better in every aspect except updates. But looking at Sammy's update history, they are the fastest one second to Google.

N4 for sure. It just feels great in the hands. I hate all the bells and whistles that the G4 comes with and would end up making it pure vanilla anyways. Unless they were the exact same price i wouldn't consider the G4. A lot of my storage is in the cloud and I save game saves on dropbox. Therefore i just uninstall games when i get bored with them. I don't see a use to having 300 apps installed just because you can and all my music is with google music so its all streaming.

I second the "bells and whistles"! Same thing with my S2.. I ended up with custom rom (rootbox) - to avoid all the bloat - which is very close to stock android with some extra feats..
I believe I will take the plunge for Nexus 4 in the end.. A colleague of mine got it and is reaaaally fluid (he kept it stock-unrooted). And if you think abt it you may not even need rooting it at all..

The N4 is awesome and youll be surprised how happy and comfortable it is on stock rooted or unrooted.
The next nexus should be out within 5 months so it really depends on how desperate you are for a new phone. The N4 is really nice but whats the N5. Who knows. with tech these days the next big thing is always around the corner, you can never catch it.
Has anyone noticed a considerable lag continuing even after Samsung's most recent Firmware Update for the Note 4? Some users and commentators are praising the Note 4 for its lightning speeds and no lag, but somehow I cannot say the same. I have serious lags in most any operation of the Note 4, but especially in the Camera.
Is it also normal, that there is static when the speaker is turned up?

I can't believe i'm saying this but i have been using a Galaxy Note 4 for two weeks and i have never experienced even the tiny bit of lag. You should try disabling apps you are not using, disable sync etc. If nothing works you should try factory reseting your phone.
I'm using a tmobile note 4 on the latest anj4 firmware and my phone is almost unusable.
There's so much keyboard lag regardless of what keyboard I use.
Scrolling sometimes just completely stops until I actually pick up the s pen from the display.
I actually had a Samsung rep at best buy look at it and he couldn't believe how bad it was. I sent it to Samsung but of course since I had rooted it they said it was my fault.
I've been rooting and roming phones since the captivate and have never had an issue.
My note 4 has been like this from day 1, I bought it new from eBay which was my mistake. Now I'm basically stuck with it and at time's the lag is so bad I want to throw it out of the window.
Mine is definitely hardware defective. I have a Lumia 520 that runs smoother to be honest.
I guess the only way I can get any money back from it is to sell it for parts I suppose.

no lags here, its the fastest android phone ive ever used and much faster and smoother than my sony z ultra!

Me too very fast... I use Nova
No lag what so ever....
My Note 4 is blazing fast, the most smooth android phone i ever use. My previous android phone is HTC One M8.
Lag? No way Note 4 is lag.
I just bought a squaretrade warranty last night. Hoping they can fix it or replace it.
Anyone have experience using squaretrade?
I am so frustrated with the note 4...... The lack of a root at this point is a big part of it.
So, with Samsung cutting out the SD card and removable battery I am thinking of going to another manufacturer.
I think I am going to put this on Swappa with a bunch of accessories and that plus some should be able to get me a new phone.
Its only made worse with the S6 already rooted.......
Sometimes these phones make me want to scream!
They're all just about cutting those things out.

You should also consider changing carriers since Verizon is doing it's best to block root on all their phones. The HTC M9 is still blocked and unable to root.
I cant do that. I just switched from AT&T. I got too much of a sweetheart deal to switch with a plan that I got onto.

Bailed on my N4. It is a great device but a waste without root. Picked up a Nexus from VZW, had it rooted in 5 min when I got home. For what it lacks, being rooted / unlocked makes up for. Best part is Beans just showed up with a rom. I'd never buy another locked down phone again....

For what it's worth, yes. The camera and screen are better on the N4, but not overwhelmingly so. The battery is a struggle though. I used the ultra savings mode a lot. But I've found that with the custom kernels, I manage. One big thing for me was that this phone (N6) is way smoother and more responsive. Having no touchwiz crap really shows a difference..

Just figured i would throw in my short time with the N6 , but it was a great phone and i wish i could have kept it cause the un-rooted note 4 sucks
I'm done buying phones the provider will not let customers root. Whoever it is locking things down, they've gotten the last dollar from me they will ever have. I'll go back to a flip phone or maybe dump them altogether. No freedom, no phone. Verizon, Samsung, whoever. They can't offer enough features to make me wear their chain. I'm generally easy going, but I don't want to be their patsy and herded down their way of thinking about a phone.

I could never switch to an iphone. If you upset with the note 4 being "locked down", the iphone is even worse! The note 4 isn't unstable at all. It has a few issues but that's android related and just about every phone running our version of android are experiencing the same issues.
The S6 doesn't have a micro sd slot fyi.

If you ask here people say get the Nexus 6P. If you ask Note 5 forum, people say get the Note 5. End of the day it is up to you what you give more priority to. Both phones are great.

No have not owned a Note 5 but do own a 64gb S6. Don't like TW and the S6 is starting to stutter and lag. The battery life as well has been awful from the start. I have an OPO as well and it was a decent device (good battery life).
Frost looks great, those chamfered edges really pop and its not nearly as slippery as a glass device. I'm a Nexus guy though....I like using the UI the way Google intended and being first in line for updates.
Good luck man, I have heard good things about the Note 5 so I'm sure you can't go wrong either way.

Lmfao.. Search is my friend... LmFao.. Honestly I went straight to the 6p section checked in q & a didn't see anything so that's why I posted it.. I am using the tapatalk app so not sure if it's different from Web or xda app..
I could see why note 5 section says stay with note 5 and 6p say the same.. I'm a big Sammy fan boy but my heating issues and some tw limitations have me curious.. I've also never owned a nexus.. The lack of mp and iso, but I've read great reviews about this device

Haha is okay. If you are a big Sammy fanboy and have used tw most of the time then chances are you won't like the Nexus 6P. But tell us more, how do you use your device? What is important to you when purchasing a phone?

Well I've had the s2 s3 s4 s5 s6 now note 5..i did have an opo which the screen was crap compared to Sammy..
Personally I dont use very many tw apps.. My launcher is usually nova I use solid explorer and chrome.. When purchasing a phone external SD and battery are important as is the camera.. Nowadays extSdCard and battery seem to be a thing of the past so a great camera is good cause I have a soon to be 3 yr old and capturing moments are important..
I like sms time stamps for each message no matter how close or far apart the times are in between.. I love to root and theme my phone with center clock and 3minit... I use to be a huge aosp supporter but honestly Sammy screens is what make me a fan boy..

Honestly, the 6p is a fantastic phone. My favorite phone to date, but I've grown to prefer pure Android over TW, Sense, etc. If you really like TW then I say try to figure out your heating issue and stick with the note 5. Try turning the display to basic, the other settings seem to be pretty taxing on the phone. The note has 2 huge advantages over the 6p imo: the camera software and one handed mode.

Video recording is nothing special on the Nexus 6p. Also screen is awesome but if you hold it side by side against the Note 5 you will want the Note 5. Eye gets used though, so if you already use nova on your Note 5 and apps from the Playstore to substitute Samsung's own apps you might like the phone. I say try it, you have 15 days to return it. Usually Nexus devices are for those people that know how to tweak their phone and prefer minimalistic style.

I currently have a 32gb black sapphire note 5 from tmobile which I love a lot.. If I had to be honest with myself I'd have to say my battery heats up from time to time and all the Knox bs drives me crazy.. I have been considering getting the 6p and giving my mom my note 5 so it stays in house and I can always switch back to it and give my mom the 6p.. I'm wondering for those who have it if the jump is truly worth it..
I've read about the 6p bending and the sound quality not being so great and sounds muffled etc.. Also someone mentioned it heats up as well.. Can anyone help with any feedback before I make the plunge??...

Yes sir Mr Sammy fan boy #1... I'll never get 6p it's boring ? I hate the ui blah blah blah..

I Have both phones and they are both beasts. I find that thanks to the lighter touchwiz and the combination of exynos and 4gb of RAM the note 5 is as snappy and lag free as the Nexus 6P. I give the Note 5 the edge on the camera side and the N6P for the battery. It all comes down to what you need. If you absolutely love the note 5 camera you're going to miss it. If you are familiar and appreciate the stock android experience of the nexus line then by all means get it. Best nexus phone by far you will not regret it.

I agree the N6P has the best battery life since my OPO definitely a plus.
20 minutes later my SIM is back again in my S8. Heading to the store to return the 8 plus. Would never make this mistake again.

Everyone is talking about the bionic a11 chip and really whats the point of having a speedy chip with slow animation and scrolling, .IOS 11 is really bad. when u use it u really appreciate android much more. Having the IOS slow stock animation in the 8 plus actually makes the S8 look/feel much faster. Apps open faster cause of this. Keeping my s8 maybe until S9
cool story bro
i did this mistake 3 times with iphones
i will not do it anymore
seriously: tried 3 times and 3 times completely disliked no customization of iphone at all
cannot even have "message delivered" confirmation on SMS
I am issues iphone5 For work. Cannot stand it.

I have a new Note 8 (Just sold the S8+) but bought an Apple Watch series 3 GPS only. I have an old iPhone 6+ to be able to setup the watch. I going to use this watch standalone.
I will not put my SIM back in the iPh6+ just to use the watch.
It was the Galaxy S7 Edge that drew me away from iPhone. I have both iPhone and Samsung phones over the years but remember how much I can't stand iOS and iphones now after using them for watch setup.
UGH! The Note 8 for me is now the best phone ever. My S8+ was fantastic too but I missed the stylus and features that went with it.
