                  k, 16 Jan 2015S 5 or Note 3 which is a better choice?S5 if you have not owned a Note before. But try to get an LTE/4G version as that has a better signal chip so better speeds on 3g too

                        AnonD-352536, 16 Jan 2015Thank You... Now be friendly! Say should i replace My Note 3 to Galaxy S5?No note3 is a great phone and will get Lolipop soon. The size of the S5 will be small for you after using note 3.
                        Most Note users dont change to anything except Note due to size
                        If you feel like geting a new toy get the note 4 or wait 3 weeks the price of Note 4 will fall by atleast $ 50

                          AnonD-352536, 15 Jan 2015Hello! I'm planning to buy this Phone but want to know some reviews first. 1 Battery Backup ... moreThis smartphone has quad core CPU and powerful GPU with no heatsink or fan its bound to warm up..Under the circumstances with all this horsepower in a small package its a unbelievable feat of engineering that todays smartphone does not go on fire.

                          I see they are starting to have problems with SD810 though..They can only go so far as the GHz is now approaching the limt of even desktop Core I7.

                          I thought Lollipop,Dalvik and Project Volta were supposed to remedy the need for all this horsepower but it seems not..Someone told me its needed for 4K video recording but seems overkill.Maybe future computing will involve dedicated GPU'S to perform different functions.Anyway we all know we love all this tech so bring on quad core 4.0GHz 8GB RAM Adreno 1000 smartphones.

                              2)There are no hanging and heating issues

                              Note:

                              Any Phone hangs only when more apps are opened in back ground

                              use Advanced task killer or battery doctor
                              and use those widgets on home screen and refress every 1/2 hour


                              There is no slow charging usm 3.0 .. is blazing fast
                              when phone is off charging full ups to 100% in 45-50 min

                              when u charge phone while phone is on it full charges 100% in 1 hour 20 min

                              Regarding Heating issues,
                              any phone heats when u use the phone while charging

                              and dont use them under sun light

                              PS : it is best phone available now
                              .. dont think too much

                                Stagemom, 15 Jan 2015The phone has a lot of great features but I dislike that when you take a video, it shows up si... morewould advise user holds the phone sideways ( horizontal ) to get picture and video taken the right way.

                                if you hold phone upright ( vertical ) then when you rotate the phone or play the clip on computer you end up with Vertical video syndrome.
