I can't decide which one to get... I'm mostly concerned about the battery life and camera.
Has anyone used both phones ? What is the battery life and camera like on the note 4 compared to the lg g4 and which one is less laggy?, I'm interested in the exynos version of note 4...
I only have the Snapdragon version of the Note 4. The battery performance is comparable, but I havent had the G4 long enough, nor do I have root to fully debloat the G4. I say its fairly even as of now.
Camera on the G4 spanks the Note 4. Note really worth the comparison especially in low light.
I like the Note 4 build quality better.
I agree with on every point there, the G4 is not really a huge improvement over the Note 4.
I have not really had chance to play with the camera much but hope to this weekend.
Hopefully we will get root for this device soon

Depends on your choice... I really like the note 4 due to the exceptional battery I get... Around 5.5 6hrs of sot.... But I hate the fingerprint scanner and camera is good.... With the lg g4... You get a better camera and almost same battery .... But the camera is very good... Won't replace my DSLR anytime soon.... ?
im most likely trading in my note 4 , cant stand not having root, and most likely LG G4 will be rooted; - also i dont really like the two-handed design, i'd rather get a lil smaller and i think ill be able to one-hand it.
Tough one. With the G4 you have a better camera but in saying that the Note 4s is excellent anyway. Battery life with the Note 4 is better and it has a more powerful GPU than the G4 perhaps leading to poorer framerates in games and stutter in UI on the G4. The Note 4 also has Gorilla Glass 4 Vs GG3 on the G4. If you want a top class camera then the G4 is your phone, otherwise there's really not much difference.
I am exactly in the same boat....
But as I read all around, battery life is really bad on the G4, I think I will order a Note 4 on Monday.

i was thinking on taking the note 4 but i got to this conclusions:
features:
first g4 got FM radio note 4 does not.
second the note 4 got kind of finger print sensor not really good one but he has that and the S pen which for me is useless.
Winner : note 4
Price:
in my country the note 4 is about 50$ more expansive than the G4 not the leather version its not much but the g4 is still cheaper...
Winner: g4
Build/premium feel:
the gorilla glass number does not really matter if you end up putting a good glass screen protector on it and lg claims that the slim arc design is more durable, dont know if that is true.
the premium feeling - if you are like me you are going to put your phone in a case so it does not really matter how it feels.
Winner: tie
multimedia:
as it appears to be G4 camera is better but as you said they both good,speaker almost the same preformance,screen its tricky but i am not going to say that the note 4 does not look good i just dont like the amoled color approach.
Winner: some say the headphone sound on the note4 is better so this is a: tie
interface:
if there is anything that i hate about touchwiz and i know its stupid its the appdrawer there is no simple search button (i know you can search but i just want a button on top just like HTC Sony and LG)
touchwiz is still laggy LG ux 4 is really nice some handful features in my opinion
Winner: g4
handling and operating:
after holding the g flex2 and the note 4 today i can tell you for sure that the note 4 is not a comfy phone at all (not to hold or to operate)
the holding - every phone with a curved back will be always more comfortable to hold than a flat one.
the operating - the screen 5.5 vs 5.7 not that much diffrence but... the flex got onscreen buttons while the note 4 does not... so flex is somthing like 5.2 without the buttons so.. 5.2 vs 5.7 it is a big diffrence ,so it is much easier to reach the buttons on the g4 than on the note 4 and you can hide them on any app you like on settings...
and another point that it might just be me but...(i dont know how to decribe so just ,you know listen to the story)with the note 4 your are surfing on chrome moving between pages press back go to another website press recent apps button go to check emails again rencet button back to chrome want to check the wether click home button and than ahhhhhhh its a physical button why? why do i suddenly need to add more pressure , it just ruins the user experience, and it's like that in all Samsung devices why they didnt just go with touch buttons all the way..
Winner: g4
benchmark(SD 805 VERSION):
note 4 benchmarks are slightly better in the gpu department only which is where the g4 is more efficient this is why he almost never gets hot..
but on reality the note 4 still suffers from touchwiz lags as the g4 on the reviews fly with out a problem
Winner : g4
updates:
i think you can count on LG in that department because they want to prove things.. and because the note 4 is almost half year old if not older i am not counting on fast updates.
Winner : g4
battery life :
from the battery thread i got this the g4 got better battery life than G3/S6 and avarge SOT is 4-6 hours which is pretty decent and it will last you a full day under moderate use and got better and from what i read the note 4 SOT is 6-8 (running on KK) it is more but if you really want that 2 hours more SOT you can get a future zerolemon or mugen power extended battery(with the same dimensions of the original one ) you might be getting a closer to same SOT as the note 4 .
any way in my country you are getting a free extra battery and a battery charger free with the phone so....
Winner: note4
(i do think that the g4 will get an update to polish things up)
summary:
g4:8
note4:4
so i will be going to get the g4
sorry for my bad english i hope i helped in anyway...

I just traded in my note 4 for t mobile g4. I'm not going to lie, the note is an awesome phone. I was personally just not a fan of touchwiz. It has some nice functionality and the spen is sweet but there was a lot of lag and it was just a hair to big whereas the g4 is a perfect size and fits my hands. Either way you can't go wrong, both are great phones. I think if I didn't have jump1 with T-Mobile I would have definitely stuck with the note....

The question I personally have to ask myself is as I already have the Note 4 is it worth the extra £500 for a G4. The answer i find is, no its not. The G4 just doesn't have a massive advantage over the Note 4. If it was a brand new purchase I'd have to seriously consider a G4 but there's just not enough for me to shell out another £500 for a G4 when I already have a phone which is pretty much on par.

if you already have it than absolutely no! i on the other hand using HTC Desire now...and its about time i will switch to another phone.
and since you already have note 4 do you think my comparison is correct?
Basically I am at peace with my decision to go with the g4 but it would not hurt to hear another opinion

I think youll do great with the G4, its a great phone and theres nothing much that the Note 4 can do better as long as you dont need a stylus and a root method is found for the G4 which im sure it will.

Why everybody want the root? What can it makes different?
Also the note 4 is a older phone, so if you dont have the note 4 , go for the G4

With root you can do a lot. I couldn't live without apps like Viper4Android or disable certain apps and services that cause battery drain and monitor what is causing the drain. You can also install Ad blockers, debloat your Rom and ultimately with an unlocked bootloader install new Roms and kernels. Root (and an unlocked bootloader) is a fairly vital function for most advanced Android users.

not to mention Xprivacy is crucial too!!! - love root, need root, its ashame companies are taking it away from us for "security" reasons, BS...i rooted my original Droid, still own it, and never had any "security" issues, only security issues is google cant steal my info as easily...
I have had the Note 4 since launch and is my favorite device purchased to date. Got to mess with the G4 last week and really like it. Overall, I prefer the Note 4 for three key reasons. Much better battery life (over two hours SOT, based on all reviews that compared), no nav bar and the Gear VR integration. Even without Gear VR I would prefer the Note 4, but if the Note 4 was not an option, the G4 would be my second choice since the S6 with no battery or sd option IMO is too Apple-like. The G4 would be a better option to me.
Speaking of VR, I wonder how the slight curve will impact VR set usage? Seems it could cause an ever so slight hourglass shaped distortion (maybe not enough to bug?).
hopefully my g4 gets here Wednesday and i can do a comparison against note 4 and g4

Battery life is significantly better on the Note 4, but if carrying a spare battery or not out all day, no harm no foul.
Added: Based on Anandtech and other tech reviews, the display is not as power efficient as the Note display, so not sure how the battery life can be improved much on the G4. It does not seem to be
a case of rogue apps burning in the background, but per reviews mainly to do with the display tech. It is MUCH better than the G3's, but still apparently just as power thirsty.
The display is the biggest weight for power of average usage for devices.

I'm always in the market for the latest and greatest tech and had every flagship last year. Aside from the S6 which is a no-go for me due to the no sd slot and removable battery, the Note 4 (IMO) can't really be beaten at the moment. That will probably change later this year though. The only thing that would tempt me to the G4 is the camera but with its other downsides like locked bootloader, poorer battery and subpar GPU, it's just not enough.

Unless the Note 5 has a 4K display (for Gear VR use) and still has battery and sd options, I will happily stick with the Note 4. That presumes of course a 4K display is somehow power efficient (perhaps 4K mode for Gear VR and 1440p for everything else). I think though that Samsung is going to lose marketshare to the G4 and will mainly impact the S6. Really think Samsung screwed up with the S6 and actual sales appears to support this. Key differentiaion was the battery and sd option, but Samsung KILLED it and likely their chance of market improvement.
If only the G4 had the same power efficiency as the Note 4 display, it would be about "perfect". Not rooting or tweaking is going to help the display.
I have my Note 4 and I thought of selling it and getting OnePlus 3. The only concern is the battery for me as I tend to use the phone a lot for emails, music, and other things for school.
I just want to get more opinions before i make the move. Also i am trying to stay away from samsung roms eventhought i read that there are some issues with OP3 roms. Well they always have some issues with roms i guess.
It's hard to tell if the battery is good or not but so far from the reviews I've read and watched , it's average and not so great. An average battery is a deal breaker for me, some users will say it charges really fast but I'm not always next to a plug. That's the same argument made for the galaxy s6 which had a terrible battery.
i do not understand how you can even think about that, changing note4 for this upper-mid telephone... note4 is still a beast phone...
Well the battery life is a deal breaker that is the only reason why I got Note 4, and Note 4 has wayy more things inside. But just thought of changing that's why I am asking for opinions here. I just wish Samsung roms were a bit better especially those from T Mobile US.
Oh damn, I had to get rid of the Note 4. It was so so laggy and it'd heat up to 75-80C. TW was horrible on it. Unusable. Battery was terrible too.
OnePlus 3 is a much much better phone in terms of everything. I'm currently on a 6P and I'm moving to OP3.
I guess it's not worth,
Since you use the note4, I'm afraid you can not get used to the display of OP3 cuz it's 1080p

My problem with Note 4 is that I can not get a stable CM12 rom. For me they all have some small problem or something that is not working well. As for display I dont really mind. I dont think I will notice the difference after using OnePlus 3 for few days.
I had a Note 4 until I drove over it about 2 months ago, and was waiting for the OP3 until I got a new phone. So far I would say it is better for me than the note. When I bought the Note, I wanted lots of battery life, expandable storage etc. Now, I carry a power brick whenever I travel and don't need expandable storage. I like the fact that it's slightly smaller, it's also much thinner and looks better in my opinion.
The screen on the OP3 really is excellent, I can't honestly tell the difference between the OP3 and Note 4 screen, despite the difference in resolution. The OP3 is also much faster than the note 4 was out of the box.
I would say: don't upgrade if you are a heavy user and cannot charge during the day. However, if you can charge, even for a few minutes (DASH!), I would upgrade. If you have the money without selling the Note 4, you could always buy the OP3 and compare the phones, OnePlus offer 15 day returns on their phones.
I ordered the phone. I wlll get it by 30th of June. I will let you know how how i feel about the phone when i get it.
Ooo, btw thanks for convincing me spend more money ahahah
How are you satisfied with the change from Note 4 to OnePlus 3 after 2 month? Thanks!

So I've been looking at getting a Note tablet. I see a lot of people say the 10.1 2014 Edition is better than The Tab A 10.1. My worry though is buying a ~3-4 year old tablet. How likely am I to get a battery that still has life in it? How common is the battery seating issue? I also see aftermarket batteries are a crap shoot. Are these all correct assumptions, or could I get a good Note 2014 off Swappa and not have to worry about charging issues? Thanks
All valid concerns.
I had the same questions, then tried out a friends Tab A. It was much better than expected. The only spec significantly lower than 2014 is the screen resolution. Personally I think that's okay, as the 2014 resolution IMO was too much for the processor and slowed down the tablet. Also I don't like the dimensions and portrait default in Tab A, but that's subjective. No IR sensor.
Other than that, it has a mid range processor, but two generations newer, so evens out. It has nougat (much smoother than Lollipop and supports newer apps), and everything else pretty much the same. For normal use (browsing, video, spen notes, Office etc), I don't think you will see any difference.
Maybe try it out at a store and decide?

All my issues with this piece of hardware begin on probably physical issues on my flash memory or it doesn't work well on root, probably my unit was damaged in someway. Either way i do not recommend this tablet, it have nice specs i mean even today i'm struggling to find a worthy replacement with pen features (i think i might go with the lenovo yoga book even if i'm risking another gadget that doesn't have a huge dev support). But if you like to root, remove bloat and do a little tweaking i would rather look for a device that have a huge dev community on XDA. All we have now on this tablet here is a 5.0 official and 6.0-7.0 AOSP-cyanogen variants, i mean they are OK but they lack all the S-Pen features and the solutions aren't on par with OEM support.

I have a mint condition 10.1 2014 tablet for sale. Just ha ENT put it on swappa yet. It's the wifi model, screen protector been on since day one, has a fintie case on it and has been rooted running mostly stick rom. Message if interested.
I bought the same tablet but with lte option. Good tablets.

For me its the perfect one less the official support.
-3GB ram
-Good screen (300ppi)
-Good battery capacity
-SPen
-Good quality
-Good camera
-etc
My sister have the Tab A and.... I hate the screen (poor resolution) and its slower than mine

Thanks, I just went with the Tab A 10.1 as I found a locked one on Ebay for $150 and just bypassed the lock.
I was too worried with the battery life and problems with aftermarket batteries. Looks like it was a smart choice.

I'm in the same boat. Win10 tab is a much better dollar / performance deal than the android tablets.. but android has better tablet style apps..
Also remember folks that there are two Tab A's - one with pen and 3gb ram and the cheaper one with 2gb ram and no pen.
Hello folks, i still rock the galaxy s5 and wanted to buy this phone a year ago, but changed my mind.
Now I want to buy a new smartphone again, one with long battery life. However all the other properties of the Lenovo P2 seem to weak to me (especially the camera, it is atrocious). I just wanted to know, whether there is an alternative, A BETTER alternative to this phone? A more recent one? I just want to survive a day without charging even after 2-3 years of use (like with this phone). I am also ready to pay several hundreds, if not up to $1500 for a phone of that kind. Any suggestions?

Maybe check out the Samsung M30/A50 or even the upcoming A90 the specs seem promising but it's still too soon to say anything about developer support.
Good battery and camera doesn't add these days. At least It looks like this. If you really find device that meets these requirements let me know. I'm interested too.
Honor note 10, Mi max 3, Galaxy M30, Mate 20, or just wait for the Mi max 4.
Hey guys, just cracked the hell out of my note 20 screen and looking to switch phones to either the 9 pro or the Google pixel I know this might be a bias forum to post one xD but I despise Samsung because they make it so hard to root and the things you do with it are extremely limited just wondering how the 9 pro is if it's easy to root, a good phone etc etc how close it is to the newer one coming out and if I should wait or not I appreciate any input ^_^
It is the easiest phone to root at the market. Go for it. It's worth it.

i am also looking to buy new phone but... i read it has a lot of over heating.. issues
currently i have 7 Pro
Great device my 9 Pro, easy to root, no overheating, fast, etc...
Take it for a spin...
I love my 9 Pro. It does get "warm" sometimes and my 6T never did. It doesn't seem to affect the phone in anyway. I think it's a good phone.
Anyone know if the tmobile/sprint version of it will be anymore locked down or hard to root?
I have a new OP9Pro , un rooted. I have significant overheating issues and I live in the Northeast USA. Example:
Spent 2 hours in the 70-80 degree sun yesterday. Phone went into overheat mode like 30 times. Had no choice. Thinking of just buying another OP7Pro TBH, I still miss the Moment case with the leather strap! (I also still have some cam add-ons). Anyhow, maybe rooting makes all the difference, but this is just really sad. the phone is just too thin IMO... :|
Yes because you need to Sim unlock the phone before rooting and meet all the requirements, plus you need to apply for an unlock token.

I never had heat issue with 7 pro. But i am not a heavy user.
8 pro does not heat up not even charging wireless. Wireless charger have ventilation.
Decide what phone is best for you. You da Boss!

70 to 80 degrees heat is the worst thing you can do to a battery. When the device goes into overheat mode, I think that's a good advancement to protect the device from heat. Such high temperatures significantly shorten the battery life.
For me, this is not an argument against the Oneplus 9 pro. Unless I have misunderstood something....
Regarding the heating issue: I never had it, but I am also not a heavy user. With a custom kernel (e.g. Omega), the issue is off the table anyway. System updates should also improve this, but the latter is just a guess.

Hey guys, just cracked the hell out of my note 20 screen and looking to switch phones to either the 9 pro or the Google pixel I know this might be a bias forum to post one xD but I despise Samsung because they make it so hard to root and the things you do with it are extremely limited just wondering how the 9 pro is if it's easy to root, a good phone etc etc how close it is to the newer one coming out and if I should wait or not I appreciate any input ^_^

If root is the most important point, then go for it. Alternatively, maybe Xiaomi, although I don't really know how easy these devices can be rooted. Just have a look at the corresponding forums.
From my point of view, it is still unclear whether the Magisk project will be continued in the long term, which could possibly be an issue with Android 12.
The Oneplus 9 pro is a very good all-rounder, clearly a flagship. However, there are now interesting competitors in terms of price/performance, especially if you can do without root.
Samsung is not bad either. I mean, all the junk that Samsung offers can simply be debloated.
After using Oneplus for many years and a short break with a Huawei P40 pro, I have returned to Oneplus. I have to say, apart from Huawei's story, I was very positively surprised by the phone.
Nevertheless, Oneplus is the only alternative for me. Root and the complete package. Maybe a bit overpriced compared to the competition, but price stability and good resale value when it comes down to it.

I'm going to buy the phone in full so I should have it unlocked by default, but would that effect my ability to root it? And how hard is it to get that stuff?
Do you need very good battery life and best photos possible? Cause if you do, then I would recommend buying pixel. My wife's pixel 4a 5g lasts 3 days with 8-10h of sot with tons of apps (including social) running in background.
Photos are great too.
If you are more into quick charging and about 1,5 days battery life with 4-6h sot, and very good but not best photos, then op 9 pro is for you.
Op beats pixel in game and overall performance. It has more premium feel. But during everyday use in case it is not that obvious.

Right, but my old OP7Pro never had any issues with overheating... like... Never... :| I just thought it it kinda sucks - even on the dash of my car it overheats just from the sun in like 10 minutes... The 7 never did that either. :| Maybe I'm just whiny, but I only bought this 9Pro because my 7pro was recently smashed on both sides.

He's talking 70-80 farenheit, not celcius. That's 21-26c for you.
my first phone was the oneplus 5t, 6t, 7 pro today the 9 pro I like oneplus unlocked phones, no carrier bloatware easy to
use, easy to setup and lot of great features
