Hello,
I'm getting rid of my old Nokia n900 and looking into the world of Android devices.
Right now I'm in between Note 2 and Note 3. Regarding KNOX, eFUSE and rooting, which Note should I chose over the other one and why?
Is the Note 2 software-wise on the same level as the Note 3? With custom ROM's it seems to be but that would trigger eFUSE/KNOX and void the guarantee?
Thanks a lot!
Note 2 is better ....Note 3 might have extra features bt u can get them on note 2 by rooting.
Note 2 right now has gr8 on price
And also note 3 is unstable..

i really dont know which place u belong to but i will be referring to india for the time being..
Comparing the phones is not actually the right thing..
Those who have a NOTE 2 dont find it WORTH upgrading to a Note 3..!!
Having said this.. Note 2 costs 26-28 k depending on the place you are located in india..!
Note 3 costs 44-47 K again depending on state to state..!
so the difference is pretty huge..!
Note 2 is getting kitkat which is the latest android version for the time being.. But it is not getting any of the Note 3 features..!
And as far as my eperience goes with samsung KK 4.4.2 will be the last update for Note 2
Note 3 has already got kitkat official now..!
So u will be rooting a Note 2 triggering knox or voding warranty ( if it has 4.3 Out of the box) else u wont trigger knox and find a way around like we all have done here..!
and u will flash Note 3 pack to have a note 3 feel..!
So my take is If u can afford (i could not) Go for a Note 3 directly and stick to it for some time.. For me Note 3 is the only touchwiz phone i have not seen lagging till date..!!
Cheers..!

Thanks for your replies! As I don't own either of them it won't be an upgrade but a start from scratch.
I've found an unused Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with T-Mobile branding for € 250. I guess that's a bargain.
A new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7105 LTE will be € 329 cheapest from a shop, used ones are around € 260 on Ebay.
Looking forward to get that Note 3 - I was looking for a black one and this is white but no questioning for the price.
I think it is a good deal.................. go ahead
Hi
I am an old Note 2 user, but currently on the Blackberry Q10. I am starting to miss a bigger screen and IR blaster so I am now looking at the note 3 and note 3 Neo.
The prices in my country are quite similar for both, only about a 15 usd difference, so that is not an issue:
Is the Neo better when it comes to batterylife? I like the fact that it has what seems to be more of a hybrid cpu with 4 slow cores and 2 fast ones.
Also, does the neo run less hot?
I do not game much, so gaming preformance is not that important to me. However I do multitask a lot, using remote desktop on my phone while wrting messages og wathing a youtube video.
How big SD card does the Neo support? I am often traveling and like to have some series or movies handy.
For 15 USD diff. Go for note 3. The 3gb ram will future proof your device.

$15 difference? That's a no-brainer. Go get the Note 3 :good: :laugh:
If you are tight on budget, wait a little longer and grab Neo 3. It will definitely go cheaper as in rest of the parts of the world, it's falling every day.
Go for note 3
In India note 3 neo is only 470 USD whereas Note 3 is more than 700 USD. So prices will fall for sure in your country too.
The screen and camera are the deal breaker for note 3 neo. It will be not much of an improvement from note 2.

I think its a TAD better on the big brother. Else the sensor seems to be the same. Just the MPs are lower. I compared the image quality of S4, N3 Neo and N3... They were ALMOST same, except for the size of the image (for cropping etc). Even Neo 3 has a wide angle sensor.. captures more view than S4 and N3.
@Phantom3D
As price isn't a factor you can blindly pick up the Note 3 and Neo variant supports max of 64 GB SD card whereas Note 3 supports maximum of 128GB. Neo doesn't run hot but I've heard Note 3 exynos variant with Octa core processor does run a little hot .
At my region there's a huge price difference and hence I picked this one .

Thanks for the help guys, I will buy the Note 3 instead of the Neo.

Does anyone know whether Note 3 Neo has Quick Glance like that of Galaxy S4 and Note 3?
It's supposed to be in the air gestures menu... I didn't use that since note 2 cause its a battery hogger and I doubt it if note 3 neo variant has it

^Incorrect.
^^We do have Air view and Air Command but AIR GESTURE was not made a part of Galaxy Note 3 Neo. So, no quick glance for us.

Thanks for the info bro.I just ask that because I am going to buy Galaxy S4 i9505 or the Note 3 Neo N7505 lte variant. The price of both of them are almost equal . s4 (410$) vs note 3 neo (380$)
Does quick glance consumes alot of battery! Because I really like thay feature alot.
Plus S4 has 2600mah battery and an endurance of 69hours on gsmarena which i think will provide enough juice for a whole day of heavy usage + all gestures on on medium brightness(mid) + data off most of the times.
Quick glance feature is not present in the Note 3 Neo variant and for battery capacity present on it , I doubt battery consumption would impact a lot in any way

I use Note 3 and I'm ok without quick glance. As for the battery related Issue, I won't be surprised because most sensor related processes / Services like smart stay, Smart scroll or sreen diM during call etc will cause battery drain

S4 really has one of the worst battery life. Apart from the gimmicky features which require a lot of power, that 2600mAh has to fire up a 1080p and a bunch of heavy cores. Whereas Note 3 Neo gives 2 days very easily and with heavy use a day and a half at most. Is it for you to decide how much importance does this glance feature give u? I believe not much. You will be done with it in a month or so. But the battery life Neo provides is mammoth.

It's quite absurd that note 3 has it and note 2 has it while note 3 neo variant doesn't.

One of the few things which separate us from the Big Brother!
S4 had pretty good battery life considering previous year flagships!
Also Neo's battery life is almost double that of S4 u can say..

Say what?
This is what is Quick Galnce in case you're confused

There's an app on play store which gives same functionality in case someone is missing it

Right.. I confused it with Air view !
note 3 neo duos doesn't have Quick Glance
If there isn't quick glance OK Note 3 Neo, why there is quick glance option in settings of Note 3 Neo's Lollipop??
(Settings-sounds and notifications-notification access)
I have turned it on but i can see any difference...
If someone knows!

Dear companion, we have a non-flagship device and it hurts to mention that.
Flagship owners have always been treated as princes even in non-samsung big brands, against us.
However, our device is complex and it definitely is supposed to take time
Hope for good! Wait for a week or two.
Do hit Thanks if i helped, and spread Cheers!
I'll start. I have a P30 Pro. Was thinking of going for this phone. Its very nice looking indeed. But as hard as it is I'll hold off.
I need a new chipset not just a current one overclocked.
Coming from Note 9 just needed an upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+]
Hi, coming from Samsung Galaxy Note 9, just pre-order the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+, 12gb, 512gb. Media Markt told me the phone would come on the 23 August. Portugal.
All the best to you.
I am going to stick with my One Plus 7 pro. 90hz display and 12gb of ram. Timely updates and super fast OS.

Have to agree. No point if you have this already.
Note 10 is a bigger s10 overclocked. With a pen and better camera I'm sure. Just not enough
But Jesus look how pretty is it!
Eventually i will get one, as soon as the prices drop a bit..... My Note8 just came from warranty and is new, although i bought it almost 2 years ago.
Coming from an almost complete "note" usage i am looking for a reason to buy this one...... Don't mind cameras i need it for work and seems that all is the same but the looks and processor speed......
Coming from PT where these "toys" are too expensive....

We seem to end up in the same forums. ?
I ordered the Note 10+ in Aurora Glow last night.
Same ordered aura white in the morning:laugh:
Got $600 for my Note9 plus another $200 store credit. Ordered a 512GB Note10+. I wonder why that size is only available in two colors (black and white). Could it be ceramic back like the S10+? That would be awesome if true.
I'm disappointed that the Samsung rugged case isn't going to ship until after Labor Day. Looks like I will have to pick up a cheap TPU in the meantime. Amazon has a bunch in stock now. Of course I'm not going to get the case that would be here tomorrow and have to wait two weeks to put a phone in it.

Curious about One Plus 7.. having stayed on Samsung scene for almost 8 years... I'm too used to rooting/tweaking/flashing etc.
How does the One Plus 7 stand regarding those? How is the dev. community for it? Do you know?

I was Note fan and never swayed until the note 7. I bought an axon 7 to replace the note 7. Went back to note with the note 8 cause of the great price they gave the note 7 owners. Sold note 8 a year later and got the OnePlus 6T. Sold the 6T and now have the 7 Pro. Let me tell you I have gotten around 6 firmware updates since the phone came out. Constantly improving the phone with the latest August security patch. The phone is just plain fast and beautiful. The dev community is very active and the phone is simple to root and flash roms. It has a 6.7 inch screen with quad hd.
Coming from a Nexus 6p that I ruined while changing my battery for the third time a few weeks ago (totally my fault). Using a Samsung SM-T825 and a novelty android small phone
(but with security updates) while waiting for my 10+. My last note was a Note 4 (bricked a few years ago, yeah I am kind of clumsy) . I did buy a Huawei mate 20 pro end of last year but got a refund due to the screen turning green.
I will be visiting often for accessories reviews and advices.
Giving up my AT&T note 9 for the note 10+ 512g aura black. Placed order through bestbuy this morning for a better deal. Sort of mad that at&t didn't include aura blue in the line up. Smh
trading in S10+, used to have a note and missed the pen. Ordered through Samsung as they are having a trade-in special & other free goodies.
Ordered the Note 10+, 256 GB, Aura Glow through Best Buy. Trading in my S10+.

Yes, yes we do! I thought the aura glow was a little odd in certain light so I went with the blue

I had a OnePlus 7 Pro, it was ok but nothing too exciting. Screen was nice but extreme curves killed it for me! Missed my S10+ and Pixel so I went back to those! Hope the Note 10 puts my S10 out of business!

The Aura Glow is different so I decided to give it a go, worst case scenario I'll dbrand skin it. Not to mention it'll be in a Pitaka case so there's that as well.
I completely agree with you about the OnePlus 7 Pro, ok but nothing to exciting. While I like the screen size of the 7 Pro the in hand feel of it killed it for me. It's a little to thick and heavy for my taste. The Note 10+ has a bigger screen, lighter and thinner than the 7 Pro.
Note 10+

Same here, just because for $540 (after tax) I've got the Note 10+ trading back the note 9, and extra (free) wireless charger and a battery pack.
The reason to spend the money - one stupid reason (on top of the fair price). I have the Samsung watch and I travel 10 days per month, and sometimes forget my watch charger.. What makes my watch a wearable brick.
I hope I won't get disappointed with reception. If it is par with the note 9, I will be a happy camper.
