I'm been offered one of these devices to test and I've got to choose just one which is a doggonee shame, so here is my question to you guys.
Which one of these devices would you recommend for testing?
I'm like a kid in a candy store looking forward to testing either way.

Well considering the Note 3 has been out a while and plenty tested, then I suggest the S5.
Unless you mean the note 4

Seems like some good especially the camera additions mixed with some gimmick like the hand scroll feature. Hope to see some of these make it in to the note 2

I am not impressed just yet. I will have to see it in person first. As I have stated before, I am waiting for the Note 3. One good thing about the GS4, is that we note users will get all of the innovations of the GS4 plus more!!!

I would like a note 2 really bad but I may just wait for the note 3. That big screen is the thing that makes me want to sell my S3 right now.

I dont think its worth giving up the Note 2 for but if you have a update and are going to get it thats the way to go
Thats what I did im keeping my Note 2 and upgrading to the S4. Keeping the Note for backup device and for work purposes
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
I got a upgrade a few days back. Choose the Note2 over the S4. Had a S3, Best buy gave me $268 for it. I could have left the store with the S4 for total $4.78 after my trade in , tax and best buy reward points. But I wanted the larger Note2 indtead and dont regret it.

You could be right but also Google I/O is this month may 15 so we could get it after that.

Some people say that there's more power in the s4 so that's why they're heading to the s4. Others are going for the smaller size cause they can't handle the note. And others have bought into the special features

My Choice
My Epic 4G died a few days ago and I had an upgrade. I chose the Note 2 over the S4. Battery life, bigger screen (to make up for the loss of my keyboard) and SPen plus other things that I cant put into words sold me. I used both side by side and just loved the Note2. When we get 4.2.2 I think that will make the note 2 even more awesome...IMHO. Now I have TWRP on it and trying out ROMs...Loving the Note 2. :good:

Try synergy. Best rom imohop. I have flashed at least a 100 on my S3. Since I bought the note 2 this is the only rom for this phone. It is stock on speed, but I themed it with a seperate program and have it just the way I like it.

S4 is beast man who ever said it looks like the s3 in every way can suck it. It dont. It has so many wicked features that we wont get. The screen is so much crisp you can right away tell. 13meg Camera comes in handy in low light litteraly

I don't think the megapixels have much to do with low light as the quality of the sensor itself and f.stop and aperture. I'd much rather a lower MP with better sensor and F.stop than all the megapixels in the world.
But i get your point nonetheless.
Just got my S4 today coming from the Note2 and I have to say I don't miss the Note2 one bit this device is world class
It is amazing. One word wow

What was your problem with the note2? I had a chance to pick up the S4 cheaper than the note2 but choose it because of size which fits me perfectly.

Hey guys I'm getting a new device in a few months. And my choice is weather the nexus 4 or the galaxy s4. So I'm wondering would you reccomend the s4 and if possible tell me some of the features you like about it. Even though I'll be building/flashing custom ROMs/kernel on what ever device I get I would still like to know some of the features you guys like so I can decide on which device to get

Tough to answer right now, in the next few months a few more new phones should be out. The Note 3, the nexus 5, the Moto X, maybe the LG G2, who knows what else...
Today? If your looking for the most powerful device in TMo's current lineup, price be damned, then the S4. If your on a budget, the Nexus 4 is just fine.
Note 3. I'll be getting it when it comes out and keeping my s4

Price doesn't matter much. Because my dad told me if I get good grade after my first trimester back at school he will buy me any phone I want. Since every one else in my family upgraded and I'm stuck with my olld sgs vibrant. And if the new nexus is out by then than I'll problebly get that bit I've been lookin at the s4 and the n4

S4 because it can be a higher powered nexus device if you want it to me. I converted my s4 to a s4 Google play edition and I'm on 4.3 and will get updates just as nexus devices do...

Depending on provider be careful which S4 you get.... I have the Verizon S4 and the latest OTA has the device locked down like fort Knox.
No custom roms or root at the moment. I would say the Moto X (which I also have) is very similar to your gnex.
You may want to hold out and see what drops in the coming months.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
I agree with bajasur. Just wait another month or so and see what's coming out. We might still have hope of the nexus 5 on Verizon. I'm just waiting on the word from Google to see what the plans for the N5 are going to be. If not I would go with the S4 as my next phone. The moto x looks nice and it is close to vanilla android but the camera really disappoints me. I would say check both forums and see what they have going on there.

N5 would be nice on vzw I love the screen on the s4 its phenominal i have a n4 for my work phone and its "ok" im not allowed to root or rom it though.
If the next Nexus doesn't come to big red, I'm going for the Note 3. I love my Gnex and I love the nexus community, but it's starting to get long in the tooth.
Will be a great hand-me-down to my girlfriend, though! Her LG Lucid makes me throw up in my mouth when I use it.
My Galaxy Nexus died, so I opted for the S4 Google Play Edition. It's as close as you can get to a Nexus phone that has a removable battery and microSD card slot. I'm really pleased with the choice. I am keeping it stock, though I've rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, and installed CWM recovery.
If I were in your position, I'd probably wait to see what the Nexus 5 looks like before buying a new phone. But if you want to act now, the S4 GPE is a great phone.

Nexus 5 will be faster than any android devices except for the ones who share the same class of SoC !
Nexus 5 has already been said to out perform the S4 an note 3 plus every other android device so you may want to wait for tha, the S5 will be out early 2014 anyway.
I'm going to grab the Nexus 5. I'd go for the Moto X but it's battery life and CPU won't give it the two year lifespan I need from a phone.
Another vote for Moto X. But I'd wait to see what the next nexus looks like.

Def not worth getting the N3 now on contract. Personally I couldn't downgrade to a smaller screen (S5). I might just buy the N3 used. I'm DEFINITELY upgrading to the N4.

I am in the same boat and have decided to just wait on the Note 4. The battery flap on the S5 ruins it for me for some reason.
I already have most all of the Note 3 features on my Note 2 so there is no real reason to upgrade to that one either.
Thanks for your input everyone. I think I'll be waiting for the Note 4 as well. I also don't see myself downgrading to a smaller screen since I've had the Note 2. I kind of like the attention it gets when I pull it out. Cough cough lol
