I have an iPhone 4S and am at the store now. The Samsung note 3 looks far superior. What say you get big?

I have an iPhone 5S and am an accomplished amateur bodybuilder.

are you crazy, the s3 is a plastic phone cheap build and its loaded with gimmicks and bloat ware you must not like quality products to choose that over the iphone.

Galaxy Note 3 is a solid phone, top of the line specs and the S-Pen is nice, if you actually have a need for it. The Galaxy S4 is also nice, although it doesn't have top of the line specs. The Galaxy S5 is being announced this month, so if you can wait, I'd say wait to see what's coming.

I went with the LG G2 a few months back, which is a great phone (similar specs to the GN3). And even though it's loaded with LG's "enhancements", they can all be turned off, then it's like stock Android!

He's asking about the Note 3, not the Galaxy S3. The Note 3, while being made of plastic, actually has really good build quality.

You don't always need a metal phone to get a premium build.

I have the Note @ and it is great. I've dropped it and not had a problem, note 3 is similar. Plus you get more phone for less compared to an iphone.

The correct answer is: What do you want your phone to do, and does the physical size of the phone matter?

The Note 3 isn't even comparable vs the iphone 5..
The Note3 is one best phones right now.
Others to consider are:
Oppo n1
Lg g2
Sony xperia z1
Samsung S4

i just got myself a sony xperia z1. i don't know shit about phones, but it seems to be pretty good... waterproof, dustproof, good components (or so it seems at least)

Post on getbig, and no, it's how you use it.

Neither, Nexus 5. But I'd probably wait a month for the Galaxy S5 next month.

ok my bad, but the note 3 should not be compared to the iphone 5 the note 3 is more of a tablet and its very big and a lot harder to carry around while the iphone 5 fits easily into your pocket. try putting the note 3 in a tight jeans its not going to work.

Did you actually read what I said? I said Galaxy Note 3 not S3. I still stand with my opinion. The Note 3 is widely considered better than any Iphone. Google it lol.

who does that nowadays(tight jeans wtf!!), it's 2014 not 1998!!

I would wait for s5 but oppo find5, s4, xperia z1, lg g2 are good choices, however if you ~~have micropenis~~ are not accustomed handling large phones chose Iphone 5!

A man who work hard on his body in the gym would put on a tight jeans to show off his ass and legs, no homo for those of you getting ideas.

I've had the Samsung Galaxy S3 for over a year now.

Here are the pros:

(1) I've dropped it well over 100 times (it has no case) and the phone looks and functions like new, albeit with a few minor scratches around the corner.

(2) The screen size is perfect and the quality of the colors is excellent.

(3) I can do anything that I was previously able to do with my Iphone 4.

(4) It has a removable battery, which allows me to keep an extra one at the office, in case I need to swipe it.

Here are the cons:

(1) The battery life sucks. I can get a full 100% charge and if I am not careful to turn off certain settings while out (WiFi search etc.) I can get home by the end of the day with about 10% or less battery.

No phone is perfect, but after going through every Iphone model with the exception of the 5 (which my partner has), I'd say the Samsung Galaxy S3 is a sound investment. I can only imagine that the Samsung Galaxy S4 or note 3 are better.

Listen, I have an Ipad Air and it's not exactly blowing me away after all the hype. It's not bad or anything. It just isn't as amazing as implied. I wonder if I buy the Iphone5s, I'll feel the same. Also, on Safari, the youtube previews that people post on here don't fucking show on the ipad. You just get an empty space where the video window should be. I've tried looking for something to sort it out in settings but no joy.

So, my answer would be the galaxy note for extra screen real estate and it probably shows the youtube previews on my favorite muscleman site.

My iPhone 5 does all I need it to do and I like the size.

Have a S4 and 4s and S4 is superior in every way except if you're trying to pick up gay dudes at Starbucks in which case the 4s will work better.

TrueGrit · « **Reply #23 on:** February 13, 2014, 04:19:42 PM »

Does anyone know what I'm talking about with the youtube preview thing?

Yes. Sometimes when I click on threads(have an iPhone) it's just the yellow page with no script or anything. It only does it sometimes, but it really pisses me off when I catch a glimpse of the YouTube box, then when the page fully loads, it goes blank.
