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!
