Hi guys,
Apologies if this is the wrong thread but wasn't sure where to post this.
Quick question....
I currently have the s10e. Is it worth upgrading to the note 10, s20 or s20+?
Main things for me are battery life, portability and performance, not bothered about the camera as I hardly ever use it.
Thanks

The phone is beautiful, the screen is gorgeous, performance is top notch. Is it however worth upgrading from the Note? I don't think so. From an older device like the Desire which I had.. sure, but there's just no point if you already have a note
edit: also, look at this
oops nm he posted the link above

If note is doing the job and you're using the spen, prefer the bigger screen then don't get s3.

For me, as an owner of both, and author of the internet's best Note review, reasons to upgrade to the S3 from the Note would be:
If the screen size is not very important to you
If you really value SQ - between the Wolfson,Apt-X, and limited USB DAC support the S3 completely outdoes the Note
If you're an avid gamer and can really benefit from the much improved GPU
If you value smoothness of operation very highly, the S3 significantly outperforms the Note here
If NFC/Android Beam would be very valuable to you
If full exFAT support is important to you
If the S-pen isn't a drawcard at all
It isn't the most clear cut decision in my books, depends on what experiences you value most in the phone.
I have had my S3 for over a year and love it but it's starting to get slow and lag/become unresponsive randomly for no reason so I think it's time for an upgrade.
I'm not sure what I should upgrade to. I was thinking either the Galaxy S4 or a Note. Not sure if the Note will be too big, so I'm going to have a look at one tomorrow at the shops.
Is the S4 a big improvement from the S3? How does the note compare? Anything else I should look at?
I only really use my phone for work (lots of calls, emails and messages) and of course for Candy Crush! I also use the camera a fair bit for work.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks
Could you give some info on your s3? Rooted, custom ROM, kernel etc.
Me Gusta!
Hi mate,
Android v 4.1.2
Perseus kernel
Omega v38
The S4 would be a big improvement depending on what you are going to do on your phone. For processing owner it should be a good improvement.

Yeah I think I'll upgrade to the S4. I looked at the Note yesterday and it was just too big...
Hi guys,
I'm a long term Android user, but I'm trying to convince my gf to make the switch from Apple to Android.
She currently has an Iphone 4s and is very happy with it except it has ground to a halt as the apple updates have taken up all the storage space.
So she loves the looks of the s6 edge but i've seen really mixed results about the battery life, I don't want her to have a bad experience and then brand android with this issue.
Is the battery really bad?
Many thanks,
Andy

I would wait from marshmallow to roll out from the galaxy s6 because there are several problems such as bad ram management and poor battery life. There are ways to get around these issues; ex. Package disabler pro. The app allows you to disable bloat and increase the battery but these issues shouldn't be here in the first place. I would wait the I'll marshmallow so you can see if the issues are resolved and then buy it. I am using package disabler pro and I average 4:30-5:30 screen on time.

Hi Andy, the battery is not bad! I have since one month a galaxy s6 edge and the battery lasts me so 24 to 36 hours! Lg Markus
Thanks guys, we're really impressed with the phone but the screen on battery life is shocking. Which apps should I disable with the package disabler?
Is it just stock Samsung ones?
Hi folks
I am about to purchase this Galaxy S3 tab, if the owners of this device can tell me how is the performance going. I will be playing on it as well as working using VPN and RDP to my computer at work and do some stuff, surely won't be hammering the device but want to know if it will be rough to do this on it or not. I will be replacing my Nexus 9 worst tablet ever, majorly lags in games and performance in general is bad.
The other thing, does anyone know if custom roms will be out to this tablet soon or eventually?
Thanks all
I bought mine also to replace my Nexus 9, totally agree, worst tablet ever.
The tab s3 is far superior in every way.

S3 performance is excellent. No problem working on my PC (VPN+Jump) or gaming on trips.
However, battery could be better (my SOT around 8h, but sleeps exceptionally well)

I think the high price-point of this device really hurts our chances for seeing custom roms (smaller user base/not really worth the effort from ROM devs)
Should I go for this device over the Note 9S? It has an AMOLED display with significantly higher maximum brightness, faster charging, better water resistance and stereo speakers. However, these factors are mostly negligible to me.
The only thing keeping me aloof from purchasing is performance. I'm not a gamer but I wouldn't be happy if the phone became sluggish after 2 years of use. Snapdragon 678 isn't really that convincing. What do you think? You can suggest another alternative below $180 too (no Huawei or Mediatek-powered phones because I would like to install a custom ROM)
