Worth to get Note 4 now?

[nexusRAGER]

Or should wait to get S6? will the price difference be huge?

The s6 price is already out. Definitely higher than note 4 street price which is lower now.

cause my dad is unsure of which to get. his S3 is about to die soon and was keen to get the note 4 but S6 registration just started.. His worried S6 might cost alot more for recontact

Get note 4 cos S6 will drop faster after 3 mths.

After ppl realise having sd card and remover batt still better.

ic. If it is a matter of price, Just pre register lo. No harm. Later when price is out then decide whether to take or not.

nexus didi thought you using iPhone?

Is still a nice phone especially I like the Snapdragon processor.

It is debatable.. The snapdragon 805 is the best of the 32bit Snapdragon processors but it will always remain at 32 bit.
In many aspects. There are improvements over the 801 and 800.

It wouldnt make much difference short term wise in terms of os upgrades but in the long run ans since lolipop is 64bit compatible.. It would be brought into question

But if one just wants a phone that is the best good right now - look no further - the S6 is debatable due to lack of micro sd card slot and the Flex2 (SD810,2gb lddr4) is an alternative competitor but i would still go for the Note 4 if i have both to choose from

Sure. Unless you need you need to run 64 bit specific program or you do carry a phone that use more then 3.6G memory. This is future, not right now. At this moment you are just paying 64 bits technology and sitting there for something to happen eg ram upgrade?

Do not mix up ram size with additional storage. Eg, you can have a pc with 3G of ram but 500G of hard disk. To many people, Phone with 16G is good enough and 32G and more is good. Trend is these storage space is supposely to into cloud. If you lost your phone. You data is still accessible.

To me, I always prefer SD as I find it is easy to move my data in case I change to a new phone. But these may become a history.

If you still can get s4 LTE+ version from teleco. It will be a nice replacement to S3. Price is good too.

Agreed. Phones with micro sd slots are getting extinct. I guess it could be similar in direction by google who doesnt exactly like micro sd or expendable memory and as such have over the years reduced the functionality of micro sd cards.. Apps cant be installed on expendable memory etc and also prominently not found in their nexus series of phone.

In aspects of ram and ram management which i agree that with the amount of ram now .. It wouldn't do much difference now (32 or 64 bit) owing to the amt of available ram.

However apart from ram, Lolipop is designed and optimised for 64 bit processors.. As we know since lolipop, all phones now run on ART by default instead of Dalvik...

Previously on kitkat, we are able to choose which we would prefer with Dalvik as default. (or toggle it via developers option)

ART on kitkat generally improves battery life and performance of apps not to mention smoothness.

Android run time (ART) in android L is optimised for 64 bit processors. With a 64 bit processor it would improve app performance without any dev doing any optimisation.. And quicker if they optimise it.

And that's the big difference between a 32 bit and 64 bit processor right now on android - on lolipop. The coding is optimised to run better on 64 bit irregardless of ram.

Stylus or no stylus?
Battery remove or not?
Memory card slot or not?
Size big or small?

Once it's answer.. pretty obvious which one u preferred.

Well for me is just go for the phone you like and need.

One month later you sure debate yourself should you go for S6 or wait for Note 5.

For me, technology is always moving. Get something your wallet can sustain and something you like is good enough.

I guess that is provided the application also takes advantage of ART. Like I say, if either you pay and wait or wait then pay, and hopefully at a cheaper price.

Yes, you are right. Is a timing and if timing is right. You will get value for money.
Technology never end.

Yes. Good suggestion. I suspect both Note 4 and S5 may be last series of removable battery. Seem the new A3, A5, A7 and now S6 all has internal battery.

ART is by default used on all android apps!
Anw
it is a good time to get the note 4 now - with prices now at about S$800 range.

If you read the wot, it actually does say that it

With Lollipop, Dalvik is dead. It's been replaced with a completely new runtime called "ART," the "Android RunTime." ART debuted in KitKat as an experimental option, but now in Lollipop it's the only option.

on Android Devices running Lolipop.

and as per what I have said in an earlier post, Dalvik is used in Kitkat and earlier as default but ART was an option in Kitkat

Yes, it also say application need to re complied to enjoy it. ART is a new runtime complier. As far I know. When you start to use Lollipo, some application will no longer run as ART is the only option.
