[Q] Upgrading to a Samsung LTE phone

My current phone is the Samsung Galaxy S3 9300 and am using it here in the Philippines. LTE was just launched today and unfortunately my phone doesn't support LTE. I want to upgrade to an LTE phone that would cost me the least amount of money. Is it ok to just upgrade to the 9305 or would it be wiser to wait for the S4?
I hope you guys can give me advices here. Thanks.

What are their price?

Oh ok You mean there are also two varieties of the new S4? 9500 and 9505? What are the differences of both aside from the latter having LTE support?

nooo, not the i9505, that's the snapdragon version. you need the i9500, which has samsung's eight core exynos, and it supports LTE

What are both of the s3 and s4 prices i mean.
In HK, the I9305 ( samsung galaxy s3 lte) costs around US$500 while galaxy s4 costs around US$756.
In this case, the price difference is US$256.
then you analyse if this is worthy to buy galaxy s4.
The battery is bigger ( volume) in S4 - but we all have portable charger, who cares!
The S4 monitor is bigger ( 0.2inch) then S3 - seriously, not much difference
The S4 monitor can display 1080HD, while S3 can display 720HD- Both are HD. For a big screen, like 50inch TV, you could notice the difference of 1080 and 720. However, come on, we are talking a 4 to 5 inch monitor and you were not an eagle ( with good eye sight), you couldn't notice the difference.
The S4 has more "floating " functions-- hahah, this function is funny, imagine how difficult you place your finger on top of the screen while not touching it while you are on a bus or while you are walking , moving , etc. What a brilliant functions hahaha.
And at the end of the day , will you spend that US$256 to buy the aboe mentioned "pros"?

Wait, which one isn't available in the US/UK?
I thought Samsung usually uses a numbering scheme that means a higher number is better than a lower one? In the case of the S3, i9305 is better than the i9300. Why did it change in S4 (i9500 is better than i9505)?

Good points. I do care a lot about the battery life though. And the S4 is much faster than the S3, right?

Based on what I just read in another thread, the 9500 DOES NOT SUPPORT LTE. Only the 9505 does, so that's one thing to consider when choosing between the two.

so yeah, as I said, should've googled it. It DOES support LTE

That information there is wrong. There are very many people in this forum that already confirmed that there are three variants of the S4. The GT-I9500, the GT-9505, and the SHV-E300S/K.
GT-I9500 - Exynos (Octa-core) CPU, no LTE support
GT-I9505 - Snapdragon 600 (Quad-core), with LTE support
SHV-E300S/K - Exynos (Octa-core) CPU, with LTE support
Here's a long thread on it for your reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2210169

Reasons for buying Note 4

Though, I know there is a war going down either to buy a Note 4 or not. If you decide to buy one, which of the above would be your reason for it.
Let's discuss here.

I may buy it does the processor and the screen resolution. Maybe if it had android L.

As the owner of Samsung Galaxy Note 2 I will buy Note 3. Not a big upgrade if we compare Note 3 with Note 4.
I expected a BIGGER battery (4000mAh), slightly bigger screen (5.9inch), stereo speakers (similar to HTC ONE). Those features are more ESSENTIAL to me than... water resistance.... ?

All of my friends that have a Note 3 love them. I'm moving from my SIII. I want the memory and processor with an SD card slot. I love my Transformer TF700, but it is aging. I'll kill 2 birds with one stone. I fully expect to root it after we understand which changes will add value.

Because I haven't owned a note since the original model.

The only reason I would decide to buy a Note 4 would be for the Gear VR! A Samsung partnership with Oculus?? Awesome! But do I wanna pay 800$+ for a limited Oculus Rift copycat? Not too sure... it is wireless though... that's very cool...

Any thoughts on community support? I know we (consumers) sometimes focus only on the negatives when our expectations weren't met but with the comments about the 4 not being much of a step up from the 3, do you think this will hurt the support? The 3 seems to have a great base.
I will be coming from the S3, so any phone I get will be a big upgrade for me. Now there seems to be a question about whether the difference in price of buying a 4 instead of a 3 should be considered. The G3 can be had WAY cheap right now as well.

my reason? my note 1 need to retire

Buying it for its amazing hardware
interested on the Quad HD as welll as the 0% to 50% in just 30 minutes super charge fast makes me want to buy it need a fast charging device like Note 4

I don't have even a single note. That's the reason enough

arm v8, metal, display

Just buying it bcoz big fan of note series and love to contribute something I can.

This device is going to be fantastic. Touchwiz has been improving all this time and the note4 can only be better than the note3 IMO.

phone too old time to change

Hey Doc will we getting exynos version like always? Is it a worthy upgrade from Note 3?What will you do of yours Note 3
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

There are two version so likely Samsung will keep same policy and promote exynos for India.
I will go with majority. I regret purchasing exynos last time bcoz of smaller community. Mostly purchasing SD then I will go with it. Regarding worthy update, according specification leaked it shows not much upgraded but as I said above I am fan of note series so will update as soon as available.
If daughter like to keep note3 then will give it to her otherwise will sell it.

I am 100% sure that doc is getting his note4 may be even note edge.
Obviously we will be getting exynos processor no doubt.
In terms of upgrade its sure for an upgrade but as you own note 3 I would suggest you to wait till price drops or if your well enough to bare the expenses you may ho ahead.
I am sure all the n4 features will soon be ported for your device in no time as soon as the sammobile makes the dump available.
So wait for setime and take a wise desicion as I own a note 2 I am surely gonna upgrade to n4.

Though I want to get the Note 4 or Edge on Day 1, I will most likely wait until the first price drop or BOGO deal comes around. Upgrading from the S3, there are numerous reasons to upgrade the Note line.

Is Note 4 worth 22k (359$) more than Lg g3?

So Samsung today announced note 4's India launched for 58k ( around 950$) I was looking forward for note 4 but 58k is just tooo much, what do you guys think if Note 4 really worth 22k extra compare to Lg G3?

I seriously think not :/ Was confirmed to get a note 4 but now I am rather swinging towards iphone 6 only coz I need to upgrade within a week and N4 price is surely gona badly drop just like s5 but might take 1-2 months and I cant wait that long, this was really rubbish move from samsung 53k max n I would have got it, but 58k, no ty sammy.

The Lenovo Vibe Z2 pro is offering similar specs for almost half the price.

Just looked at the specs, CPU + Screen Resolution are the same as LG G3, so wouldn't it experience the same lags and throttling?

Does G3 seriously lag? I have had 15-20 minutes with it in a local shop and did not see any kind of lag or so but may be since i am still using the 2 years old Note 2 and new generations phones like M8, S5 are very fast?

I played also with a G3 in the shop, no lag on the home screen. But I just picked that info of the G3 under performing due to the under powered Snapdragon 801 for running a QHD resolution.

I think the note 4 is a way better choice then the G3. I have a G3, it is a very nice phone but from time to time I do get a lag... And coming from a note 3, I really miss my note 3...just my opinion... Hope this helps... BTW the G3 just got a work around the locked bootloader, called bump... So now you can flash twrp on it and flash roms when they come avaliable... But I'm still getting a note 4...

Yeah since the Note 4 was announced on 4th Sep i was following each and every news on Internet and was very sure that i am getting the Note 4, I even gave away 2 invites of One Plus One. 58k for a Samsung phone is like 20 lakh for a Maruti, its good but for 22 lakh i can get a BMW ( apple)

Thats the reason it is being priced higher.. I am ok with it and imho it will sell more this time if they maintained that price cuz it ll totally beat the point of buying an iphone(at least in india where carrying an iphone equals a certain standard of living).. Now u can carry a premium device with actual features and innovations rather than being stuck with a boring and suffocating os just because u needed to show off.
And btw ur comparison is totally wrong here.. A bmw has better everything than a maruti.. While in this case the iPhone is inferior in every way.. If Note is a maruti then iphone is a ct 100 motorcycle priced as a bmw.

that motorcycle comparison is so spot on lol

I tend to disagree about the pricing of NOTE 4 in India, iPhone 16GB costs 53,500 & 64GB 62,500. Apple has a very high brand value & is a status symbol in India. So cost is justified, though Note 4 is better phone overall, Samsung doesn't hold such brand value. So pricing is very bold & likely to drop very soon like the better Galaxy S5

Yes it is worth. I am upgrade from G3 to Note 4 and feeling stunning. Good screen, fast proccessor, stunning battery life. The LG G3 have only good screen but the battery is bad and very laggy because 2K screen in the 801 snapdragon chip.

Thats my point it has a brand value because it is priced higher..At least in India nobody gives a [email protected]#k about the stock value or the worth of the company or that it is an American product. Apple has a name here because they demand a premium for their devices. Direct competition of Note 4 is iphone 6 plus which is being priced at 62500 for the 16gb version. Galaxy Note series has always been a premium segment device. And sammy has enough brand value to price it the way they have. Like i said before,IF and only IF they maintained the same price,then Note 4 will sell more.It will give you the satisfaction of carrying a premium device and keeping ur standards(showing off) in the society at the same time it will be an actual smartphone. And i dont think they ll lower the price too much this time.Since last year it was due to the online retailers that the priced dipped so low.Its all over the news now a days.Sammy,LG,Sony,Htc,etc will all take strict measures to retain the minimum selling prices due to the backlash they faced from the brick and mortar store owners this year.

Fair enough, but Samsung is no Apple and has a very good record on price drop. Day 5 from launch u can expect the a bit 10 % price drop. i am going to wait or get it from Dubai where its priced around 46k

Just goes to show how things are valued in different countries. I think the iPhone is a piece of overpriced crap and the only status I think it implies is that people have no clue how misinformed they are for buying it. But that's me... And I'm so glad Samsung isn't Apple.
Also, if status is what you crave, wouldn't the higher priced item increase the status of the symbol?

If that would have been the case I would be using an apple device but I don't because I know they are way overpriced for the value they provide. The problem with samsung is different though 800$ around 49k was good price for the note.
Anyway samsung is on destructive path with rise of Chinese players in India and Their bad pricing and availability mess

From bad to worse! Note 5 not available in Europe!

Just watched the unpacked and it was all a bit MEH.
Samsung say they won't even release the note 5 in Europe so it has got even worse!

The S6 Edge plus is now available for pre-register on Samsung UK but no sign of the Note 5 so even if you wanted one you can't LOL!

Samsung really are going downhill, lack of support for the Note 4 now this, if you want a Phablet this year better to wait for the Moto X style or the Nexus both 5.7" and both will get superb support.

Around £600+ for the 32GB version i would guess.

I'm starting to think Samsung is attempting to bankrupt themselves...
"Marketing reasons". According to Tweakers, the reason is "Because Europeans haven't been using the stylus for years". Their market research team is comprised of morons, it seems.
Either that, or they're postponing it for Europe until the Snapdragon is available...

This is utterly stupid. I honestly hope this fails big time.

Africa 404 not found ...

Note 4 the last of the greats
I think we can now finally say the Note 4 was the last of Samsung's best products.
Its bad enough that the Note 5 has been stripped of major features like MicroSD and IR Blaster, but they then go on to not make it available globally and force the crap S6 Edge+ on us.
I am truly disappointed. I have no idea where to go now from Samsung, maybe to Motorola or Sony, but none of their products match up to the Note 4.

They've amended their statement pretty quickly...
Samsung now says they won't release it in the EU this year, but that they "will look at further opportunities to launch the Galaxy Note 5 in other markets based on individual market situations"
Which makes a tiny bit of sense, because they don't have much to fear from Apple in the EU. Apple's market share is only 12% here.
I'm starting to suspect a Note 5+ to be released alongside the S7 in April, with an S820. Europe's Note devices have always been Snapdragons, with the Exynos models being the models for less advanced markets. Considering the S6+ today, it's not a big leap to expect a Note 5+.

I really don't understand where you get your numbers from. It had 220mah less than a note 4 however has more efficient processor more efficient software and more efficient screen, the note 4 lasts roughly 5 hours SOT with less efficient hw. Yes the note 5 will be a pile of crap but don't try and make out it will be a bigger pile of crap than the note 4, I think android M will make it an absolute beast as well if they focus properly on their new phones. What I don't understand is, will the s6 edge plus be considered a flagship over the edge? And be considered first for updates or will they job it out like the note 4?

Shame that the best features for power users are being removed from the Note 5.... No removable battery, no MIcroSD slot, no IR blaster..... Also shame that it won't be available in Europe.
I wonder what is Samsung thinking?

So, what did we get this year?
1. No SD Card slot.
2. No IR Blaster.
3. No removable battery.
4. Smaller battery.
5. The Note 5 will Not get to Europe.
Good job Samsung, you know how to satisfy your customers.

After 6 months the battery won't hold a charge nearly as well; I have two batteries and the original is clearly a lot worse already (bought my phone i January). With the new battery I get around 7 hours of SoT (see the battery thread), and with the old one I get around 5 1/2. The Note 4 definitely isn't a pile of crap, but samsung are actively trying to make it worse than it is by not releasing updates and making sure we have the latest touchwiz etc. The Note 5 is a complete joke.

Come to Israel Next week they are giving 200 people who sign up a Note 5 with a charging cradle.
They assume it will cost 940 euros.

940euros? That's insane considering it isn't much of an upgrade from the Note 4. I paid ~530€ for my Note 4 and it came with an external battery (3500mAh).

Will samsung ship the updated galaxy note 7 with nougat 7.0?

Im curious, since samsung officially announce the galaxy note 7 recall.
Will we get nougat 7.0 installed in updated note 7?
Keeping my fingers crossed but i doubt they will do it!
Still going to keep my fingers crossed lol

Highly doubt it since it has to go through carriers first. But sure I'm optimistic!?

I'm going to say no as well.. They are too focused on correcting issues without creating new ones in the process, plus like the previous poster said it has to go through the carriers as well.

No. And I surely hope not. They didn't promise 7.x until Nov. I'd like my Note 7 replaced way before then.

Yes it's been confirmed.

I am pretty sure he was being sarcastic. Samsung is already expecting to loose close to a billion dollars because of the recall. I don't think they are going to give away 600 million worth in watches away for free.

I would hope not, if you enjoy root on your device going to a newer build could always introduce an unknown factor. It's always best to know what the update has in terms of fixes and patches before having it installed.

Will get iPhone 7! At this point Android unable to flash is not much better than iOS. TouchWiz will always be terrible and laggy

There hasn't been a single software update for the TMO variant yet so I'm going to say that we have as much a chance of seeing 7.0 as we do it being the Exynos version.
