I have a few questions regarding both phones. I have the HTC One right now. Is the difference between the Snapdragon 800 and 600 noticeable? What about the display differences? Which software UI is better and has more features? What about camera software and hardware? Would you recommend upgrading to the G2 or waiting for the next gen of phones?
S800 battery efficient g2 has great standby time screen you could still give to the one ,on software front its no major lag issues ,if you could you can wait for M8☺

Yeah, I can wait for sure. I am in no need for a new phone, but I was just looking to see if the LG G2 is worth the upgrade. The M8 is something that I probably will not buy because HTC is not great with its battery life. I am actually buying an external battery case for it just to cope with the bad battery life.

I have owned both phones. Currently own the G2. There's no noticeable difference between S800 and 600 in day to day usage but there is in gaming since they use different GPUs. Software UI is a matter of preference. I like the look of sense UI better and love blinkfeed but prefer the features LG offers like knock on, slide aside and the customizability. The G2 has definitely the superior camera. I think the HTC One is more fluid though I must say. At this point I would say wait for the next gen, you have a great phone in your possession.

Okay, for the next gen, here are the phones I would look at: Galaxy S5, HTC M8, iPhone 6, Galaxy Note 4. Which one would you go with based off their track record? And could you see Samsung using their 64 bit chipset with 4GB of RAM on the S5 or more likely on the Note IV based off the news reports yesterday?
IMO wait for the next gen. Lg is a fantastic phone but there is no need to upgrade to LG g2 if you already have the one. I think you are better served with waiting until the next gen of phones.

In all honesty, all these 4 devices you mentioned are gonna be insane. I can't wait to see what happens. The Galaxy S5 is gonna be insanely powerful and probably will have that 64bit chipset you're talking about. The HTC M8 is gonna be based off the One but better with better internals. Quality at it's best. The iPhone 6 is expected to have a larger display. I'm really looking forward to that since it's their "major upgrade year". Then the Note 4 which will be the most powerful device of them all but i personally am no longer a fan of HUGE display. You can add on that list the LG G3. I'm currently using the G2 and I love it, eager to see what LG is gonna bring. 2014 is gonna be one heck of a year. If I had to choose a device right now it'll be the Galaxy S5. I think Samsung understand that customers want a phone with a nice design and choice of material. And I think touchwiz is gonna be revamped.

Yeah, I think I would agree with you on the S5. I was thinking that can be my item I buy for myself around my birthday since I could scrap money together by then to put a downpayment w/ T-Mobile USA or someone else. The iPhone needs more RAM to truly take advantage of its current chipset. The Note is impressive, but the device is going to get blown out in a few months.
I got my G2 a few days ago and in very satisfied with it. It's an extreme device for its price. It's crazy to see how fast the development is going but I don't regret getting the g2 so late. Anyway I came from an iPhone 4 so it's a huge upgrade anyway.

Yep. But knowing myself I will own them all.
Samsung MUST succeed with this S5 cause HTC is not playing anymore, they are releasing quality devices from now on. And LG is a great choice for people that don't like Samsung phones so there are more and better choices now then ever before. And the S4 didn't do as good as Samsung anticipated. So they are gonna go big with this S5. It's pretty much a given that it won't be plasticky like before and that performance is gonna be stellar.

My cousin even chose the HTC One over the S4. It just looked like a bigger S3 with a better screen, more bloatware, lag, new software features, etc. I would take a S4 for HTC One trade straight up, but only for resale value, but that's not really something I seek right now since I will probably keep my HTC One regardless of my next phone. I just hope they don't pull the Apple stunt and use the Note III properitary charger and region lock phones. I would also like the S5 to have a good look with metal and still retain the SD card slot. Time will tell in March and then April is the big release month.

What is this Galaxy F? F for Five?
My buddy is upgrading his One with a G2. His notification light is very dim, he blew out the speaker on the One without it even being at max volume, and is just tired of all the mistakes HTC keeps making as a company in general.
I feel bad for him, he was a big HTC fan since the days of the EVO 4G, and I know that feeling, coming from an original Droid myself... Having loyalties to Motorola.
But it's the future now and Samsung has a huge advantage in the mobile world at this point, making them the next Apple. Not being a fan of HTC myself, and getting fed up with Motorola time and again... LG was the most logical step to take. And G2 is a beast of a phone. Last time I checked, it even beat out the Note 3 in benchmarks in AnTuTu. And it gets me through an entire day of pretty intense use. All while still having a beautiful display, super thin bezel, awesome features (such as Knock On), and enough third party development to keep my flashing needs satisfied.

Came across this comparison, Nexus 6 is superior in every way except the camera.
Nexus 6 was found to have superior:
Display (qHD)
Battery (3220mAh)
RAM (3GB)
OS (Stock Lollipop, the best!)
Price,
Other features (water resistant, wireless charging, dual speakers)
I really think Nexus 6 will sell better than previous nexus devices. While the camera is still not as good as Note 4 or iPhone 6 Plus, it is still better than most of the devices out there.
Check it out.

They stated the Note 4 and Nexus 6 are a tie when it comes to the display and battery life.
Nexus 6! Game over!!
yeah im not sure about the display..in other comparisons they have stated that the note 4 panel is subtly better, with slightly crisper text and sharper image quality and i even tried to do the comparison myself and the note 4 indeed has a better display

How is TW? Is it really laggy and buggy or is it a bit improved?
Day 2 and I have to say that it's really not that different to the 3. The home key has real lag. I set up both devices exactly the same and ran side by side comparisons of app running time... And most times the Note 3 was faster. Weird. Will keep it for 13 days then return it and wait a week for my nexus 64gb to arrive!

I don't have any lag with the home key. Have you turned off Svoice double tap to activate feature?
These 3 phone plus the note edge are my choices for January when I get my upgrade. I have the note 3 now and I don't feel like the note 4 is worthy of the upgrade. I finally got my hands on the edge at the at&t store. I was so excited to check it out. I left the store thinking it was pretty cool but I was still underwhelmed. So now I am down to the nexus 6 and iPhone 6 plus. At this point I'm really leaning towards the 6 plus (please don't hate). It's a personal preference type of thing.
I used to love the iPhone up to the 4s. Then I couldn't stand small screen size anymore. Fortunately for me they fixed that problem now.
I can't take touchwiz any longer and all the crap Samsung has added into the phones. That's sad to say because I have had the galaxy s, s2, s3, s4 and now the note 3.
I can't wait to check out a nexus 6 to make my final decision. I feel like it is going to be a tough one
Display is a tie? What a great joke. There is a thick chance the author doesn't even own a nexus 6. I wanted to like nexus 6 sooo much, it could've been my dream phone but unfortunately, the screen can only go as bright as 278 nits vs note 4 400+ nits and upto 700 nits in extreme bright light.
So far, note 4 NAND performance is faster. Eg better read and writes. Note 4 battery lasts longer. I think we all should be realistic. How can you call it superior ?

Note 4 display is better.
Battery is the same.
RAM is the same.
OS is irrelevant.
Price is also too close to call.
Front speakers and water resistance is it. Wireless charging is possible on the Note 4.
Do some research before spreading crap.

That's on manual brightness nits don't mean everything there are other factors. All the reviewers say the screen is excellent and easy to read in day light. Gsm arena review display
The note only has faster read times because it is not fully encrypted on Lollipop. Just wait until it gets it. Also the nexus 6 is smoother than the note all around through the operating system and within apps. The battery life is similar.
dont be saying around that the nexus 6 has a very display because thats not true

Really curious about how you went about "trying out the note 4". Because I am really wanting to do this exact thing with both the iPhone 6 Plus and the Note 4 to decide if I'd want to switch to iOS or continue my crapwiz adventure, or try out the N6. I am on verizon and I see they have a $35 restocking fee if you return a product within 14 days. Is their a way around this? How'd you do it? What's your carrier?
From AnandTech who does very thorough objective testing. Traditionally they're pretty rough in their Samsung reviews and fairly "pro" Nexus with value taken in to account in their findings. With pricing similar to other high-end devices the Nexus 6 and 9 can't play the value card anymore.
Battery
The first test is our WiFi web browsing test which loads a set of web pages in a loop with pauses to avoid penalizing phones with faster SoCs than others. In this test we see that the Nexus 6 does perform somewhat poorly. Compared to Samsung's Galaxy Note 4 which has essentially the same specifications on paper, the Nexus 6 lasts 4.27 hours shorter. It is likely that this can be attributed to the display, which may not be as efficient as the latest and greatest AMOLED panel used in the Note 4.
Display
Overall, the Nexus 6 display is quite poor relative to the displays on other smartphones like the Galaxy Note 4, iPhone 6, and HTC One (M7). It's also a definite regression from the display on the Nexus 5, which is concerning given the fact that the Nexus 6 is $300 more expensive. It has been speculated that Motorola is unable to source the latest generation of panels from Samsung Display, which would explain why many of the panel characteristics are similar to previous generation AMOLED panels in the Note 3 and Galaxy S4. Although the efficiency of AMOLED displays when displaying black helps to reduce power usage with features like Ambient Display which wakes up the phone when notifications arrive or it is picked up, I don't believe it's worth the trade-off if it involves such heavy sacrifices in color accuracy and brightness.
Camera
I'm very happy with the improvements Google has made to their camera on the Nexus 6. I no longer feel like Nexus devices will always be a generation behind the competition when it comes to camera quality. Google and Motorola should also congratulate themselves on their white balance algorithm which helped the Nexus 6 to take photos that better reflected how the scenes actually looked in real life. I hope Google will continue to improve their camera software to make the user interface less menu driven, and to improve capture times for photos which is the one area that the Nexus 6 really falls behind its competition.

I went from the 6 Plus to the Note 4 then back to the 6 Plus. Bought the 6 Plus at the Apple Store and the Note 4 at Best Buy. Neither have restocking fees. Even got to keep my $200 Best Buy gift card when I returned the Note. I also have the Nexus on preorder through Motorola with a December 2nd delivery date. This is the first iPhone I've had since the 4. I'm really liking it, but also excited to try the Nexus. [emoji2]

I currently have the 6 Plus. Not bad but Apple was not ready for the big screen. So many apps are big and clunky. I've had a lot of random reboots and the screen isn't all that special.

I went from Note 3 to 4 and the lag and fluidity improvements are quite noticeable. Here's why...
AndreiLux said:
Qualcomm ROMs also have major issues mostly regarding camera - I'm not up to date with it.
They have fixed any discernible delay and lag as far as I can see in the Note 4 (and Alpha). The lag in previous versions were due to the userspace DVFS hooks, and that got totally rewritten in the Alpha and Note 4.
And btw you can just turn off those services and replace the stock keyguard - there goes your lag.

So you're recommending me I go through a retailer to try out these phones, and then just return before the typical 14 day policy? Did you bring it to your carrier to use it? Or did you just use it with wifi? I feel like if you went through your carrier for the service it'd cause more problems.

I was on the Next program with the first iPhone and a 2 year contract with the Note. Both signed through AT&T. Yes, neither retailer have restocking fees. If I would have went through AT&T they would have charged me $35 for the first one and blocked me from returning the Note. I would have been stuck. Went back to the Apple Store for my current 6 Plus.

First if you understand all the Hardware and specs and are taking the time to answer thank you.
The Note 5 is coming with the same chip as the GS6 did. So isn't the Note just basically a GS6 XL with spen? Or is there other differences that are supposedly made to make Note 5 a even better device. I read where the Note 5 set new records on the benchmark, and I know benchmarks don't mean much, but same chip, same version of Android, how is it supposedly most powerful phone out?
Thank you for your time. This stuff is beyond me

The s-devices from Apple always have faster hardware running the same software. To the OP: the note 5 isn't going to be the top performer.

The note 5? Should be the same as the s6 as it's running the same soc and same nand.
Note series was always around the SPen , it's the only one in market that have a powerful real function-able input tool like the SPen.
My guess is Samsung will target the Note series lovers with the Premium materials - leather feel before now glass - and using the new successful SOC and Camera sensors used in S6 and S6 Egde . The Exynos this year was the best and S6 & S6 Edge was the fastest ever due to the new Exynos , Imagine boosting this processor to higher frequency with extra 1GB of RAM
Due to the design , we all say that it's just a big S6 with SPen so Samsung for sure and as always will add a new way to use the SPen and Note Features.
As a user for Note 2 , Note 3 and Note 4 for sure i will miss the Memory card option. Smallest internal memory size shall be 64GB since there is no option for SD Cards. although i am not that interested in the Note 5.
Although the amazing hardware Samsung uses in their Flagships , the device will always feel slow !! and this drive me crazy,
3GB or 4GB of RAM and the free are only lessa than 700MB !!! so the device sometimes feels lagy and this isn't acceptable , comparing to LG , LG does a great job optimizing it's software so the device always feels great in daily usage.
I had S6 Edge. Loved it. That thing was snappy as hell. For some reason it lagged bad on Internet. No idea if that was a RAM issue or something else. I loved the phone but having grown accustomed to bigger screens, and having eyesore that has progressively worsened, I felt like I was always straining to read anything. So I bought LG G4 and I know the Sammy guys in here will call me stupid, but it is overall the BEST phone I've ever had. It's not as snappy as the Edge was in transitions, but it's not leggy either. On the Internet it is always responsive & fast. It's big enough, the display is beautiful. The leather backs are cool. I love it. I wish lg would bring a Note type device to Verizon, but they won't.
I'm going back to Note 5. But to me Note has always one upped the Galaxy of the same year. The Note 3 upped the gs4, the Note 4 destroyed the gs5...now they just are making a bigger Galaxy not a better one. I was expecting the 7422. Unless they announce something tomorrow that differs from gs6 besides cosmetic, I'm going to look at the Moto X, maybe stick with G4. I hate Apple and this screams Apple. The Note series has never been the IPhone S series.
I'm sure some guys are going to tell me I'm stupid and why, thank you in advance for that, but that's the way it all looks to me.

Not much difference. The major ones are pen, more ram and bigger battery.
In this video we match the Note 5 against the LG G4 in an all out brawl to the death. The first round tests the phones ability to launch apps while the second round tests multitasking performance. I was very much surprised by the results. The Note 5 has to reload every app in the second round while I found the on screen buttons of the LG G4 to be a bit cumbersome for the purposes of this test. Jumping to the homescreen to launch the next app was much easier with the Note 5's physical button. Which phone has performed better for you?

The E+ is basically the same device with two curves on the screen and no SPen. .. and this test was done with the S6 vs the G4 with the exact same results. I see it as a non-issue really on both ends, with that being said... tomorrow I'm moving to the Note 5 simply because the S pen appeals to me and would be helpful to have. Otherwise, I've been mostly happy with my G4 and will likely miss it.

Made the same move. But from the note 4 to nexus 6 to G4. Awesome devices the last two. I love the g4. Very awesome device.... ? and I got it for 25% the price of the note 4. Samsung, In my very personal opinion, is inflated and overrated.
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
Yea thats samsungs thing. I downloaded a background process limitor from the Play Store on my LG G Pad 7 because it only had 1gb of memory and playing a heavy game like Terraria would result in my launcher and background apps like sidebar closing out all the time. The app would let me adjust the amount of apps were open before closing others.
I am sure the Samsung users could increase this software limit and easily beat the G4. However Samsung does this also for battery savings.
Is anyone jumping from their S7 Edge to the Note 7?
If so or if not, what are your reasons behind it?

The only way I would is if my S7 Edge was still within return policy. Otherwise I cannot see how anyone could logically justify paying the full price for a Note 7 if they already have an S7 Edge.

Nah, very happy with the S7 Edge, the best phone I've ever owned. I enjoyed the stylus on my Note 3, but not to the point where I'd bother with the extra expense of another upgrade only 4-5 months into a 24 month contract. Also, thanks to Vodafone messing me around at the start of the contract in March I have a deal I'd never get on the Note 7, paying only £75 a month for two S7 Edge phones (one for me and one for the wife) with unlimited mins/texts and 15gb of data a month per phone. With 2x Spotify premium accounts thrown in for free.
Besides, the differences in terms of hardware is negligible and this forum has already started introducing roms based upon the Note 7. From what I can see, the stylus and Type-C USB are the only real differences under the hood.
sounds like entering funny (sorry but I think iris scanning is funny and will not have health/radiation certificate for eyes) space station with low fuel (3500mah) and many other problems (possibly battery drain, bad firmwares, questionable IP68 and Gorilla Glass, camera problems -like pink dots in HDR on, bad front camera quality) by paying 850€ to the ticket. Definitely stay in S7 Edge and wait Nougat...
It has an iris scanner (wich needs you to swipe the screen first and then calibrate and then whatever the f..) (wich doesnt work in the dark) (fingerprint - max 2 seconds / iris scanner - 4-5 seconds *you need light.) and a stylus. Thats an s7 edge with those 2 things. The stylus is ok for drawing. Period. If you have a hand to hold it you have fingers.
Perfromance - s7 scored 140k benchmark points when it was first released. Note 7 scored 144k. It has a newer software but with android nougat we will have the same software with little changes.
Is note 7 better? Yes.
Do i feel the urge to change my s7 with a note 7?
No,because im not that guy wich films both phones at 240f/s to see that one is faster by 2 nanoseconds.
Phones should be changed at every 2 years. Maybe once a year if it really has "a gallaxy of possibilities" more than the older phone has.
Changing my phone from 5 to 5 months? For a stylus? NOPE.
If 1.2k $ were my lunch money yea i'd change it,but as it isn't..no.
I really dont feel the need for a better phone. I feel the need of 2k games and apps,wich actual gameplay and funny stuff i like. Even with my Grand Prime all the apps were buttery smooth...more or less. Grand prime has a 20k points on antutu,my personal s7 has 134k. If i dont feel that difference i wont feel a 10k points difference.
Again - note 7 is a beast. I'd buy it if i had a flip phone,but i have the s7 edge. It doesnt worth the upgrade.
Why change.
Same soc
Same ram size.
No performance improvement only more bloatware because of the pen.

No performance improvement only more bloatware because of the pen.

Had I not got the 7Edge a few months back ... yes, I probably would buy the Note.
As is, there is minimal difference so I won't spend to much thought on it.
The phone I keep an eye out for now is the LG V20. - It's the only one of interest for me for now. Lack of weather proofing could be a deal breaker though.
had the g3 once..will never own an lg phone ever again..

cause I'm asking why u talk about a LG phone on the note 7 thread :v
I'm thinking about it. I got my s7e free. Reason I'm thinking about it besides the nice little improvements is
1: the screen size. I came from an LG V10
2: More internal memory
3: iris scanner actually sounds awesome. I'd mostly use the fingerprint sensor more for unlocking but Samsung is said to be working with banks to incorporate it with mobile banking.
I actually think the pen looks cool but not exactly sure how much I'd use it. USB type c also looks bad ass but could be a pain not having a ton of them laying around.
@QBerto I believe he was talking about LG in response to the comment above his.
@hello00 The G4 and V10 we're tons better. Don't know about the G5 but seemed like they were in the right direction.

The screen size difference between the Note 7 and S7 Edge really isn't worth the upgrade. I came from a Note 3 (same screen size as the Note 7 at 5.7") and I barely noticed the difference.
If I didn't have JOD probably not. Since I do why not. The monthly price is a little more by a few dollars I think,and I get the pen back. Not to mention the blue color.

well I'm quoting u because I can then :v
To tell you the truth:
My biggest mistake was selling my S6 Edge+
The S7 Edge display is - in my opinion - more disturbing than helping. Good phone yes but the curved display is making more mistakes than it is helpful.
Just my opinion. If the S7 - NOT EDGE - would be availibe in 5.5" or 5.7" I would change to asap.
CU
lienot
might consider it if t-mobile throws in a BOGO on the notes, like with the s7 edges, where i got additional 2 gear vrs and 2 year of netflix.
