I'm considering getting a Galaxy Note. I have three options: original international, original ATT, or Galaxy Note 2 (whenever it comes out).
I was leaning toward an international, but ATT 3G is very weak here. LTE coverage is much stronger. I know the international Note is quite a bit better spec-wise though.
I don't want to spend over $500ish, so I'm guessing that will rule out the Note 2.
I would buy a used original, but I have reservations since the stock ROM isn't available straight from Samsung. (I'm spoiled by Nexus phones...)
Any suggestions?

Original International would be better choice
Since Note 2 will not be in your budget I think so stick with option 1 But I am going to buy Note 2 soon

That's a bit steep for me. I hear the screen is even larger than the original, right?
I'm still leaning toward original international. 3g is terrible here though...my Galaxy Nexus practically goes into airplane mode when I'm at work.

Checkout the comparison between note and note 2 here
Thanks for that link. Just to clarify, the international Notes only support HSPA+, right? That comparison lists LTE.

Go for note 1
For me, Samsung "somewhat cheated" on the screen of note 2.. It has a slightly less resolution with a slightly bigger screen size therefore the ppi of note 2 is lower compared to note 1.
720 x 1280 pixels, 5.5 inches (~267 ppi pixel density) = note 2
800 x 1280 pixels, 5.3 inches (~285 ppi pixel density) = note 1
I know its not obvious but I'm pretty sure that the edges of the pixels would be more noticeable if you squint your eyes hard enough.
And for me, the real world difference between these two phones is just the quadcore/dualcore CPUs.
Considering the current market, note1 would give you better bang for your buck.. besides, for me, the dualcore cpu of note1 is enough for my hard gaming and ton of multi-tab browsing. :highfive:
I think ill just hold off for note2 come next year or further down the line if they continue with note3.. for sure note3 would be a big jump compared to note1.
If you will go for note1, wait until note2 fully comes to the market.. for sure the price of note 1 will drop bigtime.. :good:

I noticed the pixel density as well.
I think I'd be fine with the international Note 1. I've been using a Galaxy Nexus, and it seems perfectly fast for the most part. I'd imagine the international Note is pretty quick since it's on ICS now? (It's much better spec wise compared to the Galaxy Nexus or ATT Note, right?)

If you really are not sure if the coverage in your area would give you reliable service on a Gnote 1, try looking for a friend that has one and borrow it for a few hours and give it a spin.. see if its getting reliable coverage at your place..
Im not sure how it is in the USA but here in the Philippines, we dont care about 3g/HSPA+/LTE etc etc.. unless we want to get to the internet.. We never get dropped calls and SMS as long as we got the regular carrier signal.. (is that GSM? not sure how you call it) besides, calls and SMS is the main purpose of having a phone right? LOL
When it comes to performance, IMHO, i cant compare it to an AT&T note since i dont have an idea with that.. I can only testify with my international note1. ICS performance is great! cant compare it to GB tho since i upgraded it immediately to ICS a few hours after i bought it. It lags sometimes when my torrent client is doing some hash checks.. but its no biggie..
I get average 15hrs on a full charge.. regular to heavy use of calls and sms.. when I get to the internet (browsing/downloading/wifi hotspot) i get 6 hours on a full charge..
Im on stock 4.0.4 with notecore v14.1 std in case you want to know...

Still debating whether to stick with a Note. I bought one a few weeks ago, and it seemed somewhat laggy. I was having an unrelated problem, so I returned it.
Do you think the Touchwiz update will help things? What about Jelly Bean?
I'm buying it new, so I'm comparing it to an S3 or Note 2. Still trying to decide if it's a good buy at this point. I really like the hardware build, just not sure about ICS/ Touchwiz.

I own the international note with ics 4.0.3 and I too experience significant lag. Having recently jumped ship from the iphone, the lag is noticeable and occasionally bothersome. Not just on the touch wiz but also in apps like Chrome when scrolling. In fact I can't even scroll down a forum page of this xda app without it going choppy.
I'm going to upgrade to the Note2 when it is released, as the reviews say it runs very smooth.
I think a lot of it has to do with Jelly Bean but also the quad core helps too. I think the note1 will smoothen out a bit once jelly bean comes out for it but who knows how long that will take. Surely Samsung will drag their heels on it as they won't want to lose sales of the note2, from people like me.

My note is very fast. No lag no nothing. Probably the same as the notes of other members around here that "wasted" more than a few days testing different rom and kernel combinations and trying to f8nd the perfrct one. Its like painting a masterpiece. You get a piece of empty space that can become a great thing. Thats the beauty of android in my oppinion. The Note is really a great device.

Are you happy with your nexus 4 ? with the performance, build quality, feel, ect...
Imho the only dissapointment is the build quality. Seems good at first, feels solid and glass makes it cool, but later all those squeaking sounds start coming. Drives me nuts lol
Also I read that it does not have any impact zones AT ALL.
for the price I paid (after Google's recent price drop), I am very happy with the phone. I paid $570 new for my Galaxy S4, so I had higher expectations for that phone given the price.
Couldn't be happier!

I'll probably never be buying another non-Nexus device again. Would I love more battery life? Of course. Would I love if the speaker didn't suck and had a horrible location? You bet. But overall this device is absolutely amazing and I have no qualms.

my only gripe with this phone is the lack of cases compared to the Galaxy S3 or S4. I wish cases like the UAG or Speck Candyshell were available.
More than content, less than ecstatic.
My wishlist
LTE (official LTE)
Better battery life
non-glass back (always freaking out)
Better accessories
What I'm afraid of from the next nexus is
marginally better battery life. (would like considerably more)
always a lack of quality accessories as well. (story of the Nexus' life)
Yup.. Love it so much I'm skipping the next Nexus iteration just like I skipped the Galaxy Nexus before upgrading my Nexus S
Maybe there are phones with changeable battery's, maybe they have micro SD card slots, tones of cool Android features and better accessories... Maybe even they take awesome photos!? Who knows... Dunno. I got my Nexus...

I'm one of those who recently purchased the N4 due to the price drop. I gotta say its the best android phone I've used in stock form. Even compared to a GS4.
Since I just bought it, I might skip the N5.
This phone feels real nice as well. (No case)
Waiting for those creaks you speak of though.

Now the pricing for the OnePlus One has been confirmed ($299/€269 16GB, $349/€299 64GB) who here is tempted to jump ship?
I love the sh*t out of my N5 but I'm sick of trying to get good battery life out of it. I think the 3100 mAh in the OnePlus One will remove that hassle/concern from my life. Opinions?
Hell no way . N5 is good enough for me !

No love for t-mobile so I'll have to pass. Would've bought it too.
Not sure whether this will come to India.
But if it does, at a good pricing (similar to USD or maybe slightly more), I am surely going to regret buying Nexus 5 just a few weeks ago.
Anyway. I am not switching devices for next 2 years or so. I love my Nexus 5 quite a lot.
I read about it on engadget this morning. I didn't see anything about the speakers but my first thought was TAKE MY MONEY then i remembered.... I don't have any money.
as much as I shy away from cyanogen mod, this phone is beautiful.

If CyanogenMod gives more updates for the OnePlus One than Google for the N5, then the OnePlus One is a huge win.
$350 for a better camera, 64gb storage, 3gb ram, larger screen, and capacitive buttons - too tempting. If SlimKat will officially support this device I'll sell my N5 for this.

I think the trade off from slow wireless charging to quick charge technology is a great trade off. 0 to 75 percent in about 30 minutes on a 3100mah battery like the find 7s quick charge.

I have an option between S6 (128gb) or Nexus 6 (32GB), what would you get? Either phone will be free, I am just not sure what to get. I currently use a Note 4 and really have been disappointed by constant freezing and bad Bluetooth connectivity. It always seems that my Samsung phones slow down over time and I don't know if I should even consider the s6.
Any suggestions?

I had a Note 4 and it was awesome, no problems. I went to the Nexus 6 because I wanted an unlocked phone and more timely updates, while my fiance went to the Galaxy S 6.
The Nexus is the clear winner if you want a large phone and like to tinker. But if you want a smaller phone, that is probably a better, faster, higher quality device, the Galaxy is the winner.

Yes the Galaxy S6 has a serious RAM issue that hasn`t even been adressed in the newest 5.1.1 update. Besides that its a breeze to use vanilla android over Touchwizz, bloatware and KNOX. The S6 camera and screen are great though but for the rest the Nexus 6 is the phone to have imo

My Note 4 was great for about 4 months and its been issue after issue since then. I thought about rooting and flashing a rom but Sprint Note 4 doesn't have that many options when it comes to custom roms. I got my wife the S6 and she loves it but all she does is take pictures and text but I am looking to get back into rooting and flashing so looks like the Nexus 6 should be my choice.

I just got my nexus 6 today and love it. My LG G2 was great but the digitizer got the "ghost strip" or whatever you call it when you cant touch part of the screen. Im told a LOT of the phones from LG do that and every model so far from g2 to g4 from what att wireless says. Anyway. Im no samsung fan and i like vanilla. I went with this because i didnt want a Qualcom 810 or 820. Ill wait till Qualcomm or Mediatek comes out in a phone supposedly with the decicores.

I purchased an S6 Edge thinking that it might replace my Nexus 6. I ended up selling the S6 Edge and am happily back to my Nexus 6. The S6 definitely has an advantage in the camera department, maybe build quality (if you like glass), and screen clarity and brightness. The problem with the S6 Edge in my opinion was the amount of real world lag there was with the phone. I figured with the Octacore processor and higher memory the phone would be smooth but that was not the case for me. I even reinstalled firmware, rooted and debloated all unnecessary apps but even then it didn't feel as smooth as the Nexus 6. I don't think the lag was solved with the updated 5.1.1 update either. I also forgot to add that the battery life on the S6 was not good either. These were just my findings so take it for what it's worth.
If you are big on storage space and an amazing camera, with a small we yet more crisp and beautiful screen, go with the S6.the camera is far superior in all aspects.
If you want freedom, a large yet still pretty screen (but not nearly as nice as the S6) and the ability to easily flash and tweak, with a solid vanilla experience, go with the N6.

I am not huge on storage and could easily get by with the 32gb N6. Camera is not a big deal for me since I don't take many pictures but I definitely agree that it has a beautiful screen.
Overall, sounds like the Nexus will be the phone for me. I don't mind the size since I already have a Note 4 and I simply miss stock Android... Can't wait, should have it by mid July.

Get the 128gb s6 sell it and get a nexus 6. Go drink beers with the profit.
If you want an iphone running android then s6 is for you. It got cralpy memory management, you cannot multitask by switching between recent apps. Nexus 6 feels smoother and snappier too. Screen is big advantage of s6 over nexus 6 and so is the camera. So is up to you what you value most.

I also debated about getting the s6 or the n6. But when I discovered the freedom with vanilla android I became hooked. In terms of camera: I don't use it so much, only for snapchat. Internal memory: no problem. So nexus 6 IMO

On my 32GB Nexus 6, I have 1,200 pics, several 1080P @60fps video clips, about 300 MP3 songs, and some work files, my apps, and I still have 12GB free.
I guess that SD storage just isn't as important to me as it used to be, unless you just want to carry your entire music and video library around with you all the time...
My 64GB Nexus 6 has no storage issues, but it frequently moves pictures+video off-phone, anyway.
Even on stock, it's been fast, smooth and practically bug-free since purchase. There were maybe 2 or 3 times that I had to reboot the phone due to a weird hang situation.
I've seen the S6 and although I like Samsung "vivid" displays, the Nexus 6 feels far more realistic and easier on my eyes, while remaining quite crisp.
My pictures with the Nexus 6 have been good to terrific, with the average being around very good/great territory, so I'm quite happy with its camera using the stock app.
I love the Nexus 6 size, especially for these aging eyes. Never going smaller. Ever. So long as I can afford not to downsize.
Apple owners still gawk at my phone. I'm not making that up - I get "wow"-toned questions from them in public places.
Holding onto this phone for awhile, no hurry to get the latest tech, etc. That, and it's become an implicit part of so much I do without consciously thinking about how I communicate, organize, research, etc. My prior phones were all good tools, but this is organically fitting into my lifestyle.
- ooofest
I have both. Other than the cameras and potentially the build quality, there's not much that I miss from the S6. However, I do miss the camera so dearly.
Screen is definitely sharper due to the higher PPI, and also it's brighter and better colour reproduction but keep in mind that the N6 screen isn't half bad.
The reason I sticked to using my N6 majority of the time is due to what many have mentioned - Memory problem. The phone itself is snappy. Touchwiz has toned down a lot and I actually do enjoy it. However that occasional lag drives me absolutely nuts. That 3 seconds wait between taps kills it.
Got my Nexus 6 already....loving it so far!

5X has a better camera, 5X has a better screen, 5X has a fingerprint scanner, 5X will get Android N officially from Google, 5X has a better battery life, 5X has USB Type-C and 5X has better speakers.
It is true though that Nexus 5 should be faster on Apps that do not utilize hexa-core CPUs.
As above, the camera is great, I don't need to take a proper one with me now, low light amazes me
The screen is nice, the n5 was brighter.
the fingerprint scanner is nice and convenient, power button is barely used, security is another subject with fingerprints,
The 5x has one speaker and thats par,
Battery life is great with display on, I guess that's what makes the display drain better than the n5
The nexus5x may take a while with os and kernel improvements to really get the benefits from 6 cores,the 2 big cores help with apps loading, takes little time to reload browser unlike the n5 did
I would say its an upgrade for me, glad I got it,I haven't looked back
For the lazy ones click HERE!
I think N5X is a good device overall (not at European prices though), but is not absolutely better than the original N5: it's less comfortable to hold with one hand, lacks wireless charging and its performances are often lower than the older model because of the disk encryption. What's more, I also find the 3.5mm jack on the lower edge a design flaw.
On the other hand, better camera and fingerprint sensor are welcome additions.
Wrapping up, I think the newer device is not worth buying, as long as the older N5 is supported by Google.

Less usable RAM thanks to 64 bit OS. Less user available storage.
Arguably crappier SOC if you are a gamer.
Other than that, its an upgrade.
No OIS, so I think it is a downgrade. The different with and without OIS is really large, especially for indoor.

its true less ram and storage but that didnt put me off, the specs on paper is not great, i could of gotten oneplus 2 but its not just the hardware that counts but the software. whats the point in having a high spec unit if OS optimization is bad (not aimed at oneplus), touchwiz is an example.

I am not a N5x owner and I bought my N5 only two months ago and I'm really enjoying it but I'm sure 5x is better, only that it is not what you expect to be after two years of tech development.
Nexus 5 had been build with very few compromises while 5x isn't built to be a flasgship and I think who own a N5 shouldn't buy a 5x only because it will not give the same feeling that unboxing a Nexus 5 gave you.
Conversely I suggest to who has never own a N5, but a previous nexus like 4 (I owned it too), to buy it but only at the right price. In Italy, where I actually live and at the moment I'm writing, a Nexus 5x 32GB costs 429€, I don't know if it's too much, you can tell, but the same shop offers a Galaxy S6 32GB at the same price. I like nexus world, just think that I sold a S6 flat to buy a N5 but I had 300 euro in the change and I will have never exchanged with a 5x at par, I'm not crazy, it's just not worth so much or as much as a S6
I was looking at one here in Australia but they are $300 more than I paid for my Nexus 5 and didn't seem like it was worth the extra money.

I think that the nexus 5x is a good upgrade over the five, And it's a good phone too. But considering the price, I can get better in that segment (I live in India) and I'd practically not buy the 5x.
