Note 3 user here. I would love a Note 5 but cannot justify paying full price to keep my vzw udp. My note 3 works very well but I've noticed signal used to be better.
Note 3 is still good phone. I was gona buy note 5. But paying that amount of money for a phone without sd card slot and non removable battey i decided to stay with my trusted note 3. Signal on my note 3 goes up and down. Depending on weather which is really bad were i live. But most times signal is fine.
I bought a note 3 when it came out. Loved it. Had the Note 2 but the Note 3 was a big leap. Note 4 came out and I didn't think there was enough there to justify me buying it. So I eagerly awaited the Note 5 thinking it would be the one, especially seeing the build quality of the s6. I had concerns about the possibility that the battery would be built in but I had high hopes. Then as everyone knows it came out and there was a bit of a hoo-ha about built in battery AND no SD card. But as I hadn't bought a new phone for 2 years I thought I'd probably get it. And then... not for sale in Europe. So for the last couple of months I have been looking at buying it from abroad but not committing.
And then... dark lord note 5 rom. After 2 years with Note 3 I decided to root my phone for the first time and last night I put the Note 5/s6 edge plus rom on... and I have never been so glad I didn't spend 500 quid on a note 5. I have EVERYTHING a note 5 has except for stuff related to hardware AND I have a replaceable battery and SD card. My Note 3 has been given a new life.
So basically yes... Note 3 is definitely still worth buying.
Yeah. I was a little apprehensive about rooting my phone. Firstly because the only time I rooted was on the original Samsung Galaxy S all those years ago. And it wasn't a good experience. And secondly I did use Knox for work.
But I just spent my time researching trying to make sense of all the rooting jargon and I tried it. And it worked thankfully. It was definitely heart in the mouth stuff last night hoping I wasn't bricking my phone but it all worked out swimmingly.
Seems you did a great job. You should be proud of yourself. I would probably end up with a bricked phone. So i will leave it for now. Enjoy note 5 s6edge in note 3 my friend.
I donated my Note 3 to my wife and sold her Note 2, then bought a Note 4. I like the Note 4 but can't say I would do the same again, the Note 3 is a solid phone
I too have been looking at the Note 5, looks a nice phone, the lack of SD card and fixed battery are a let down but I think a 64gb model would do easily for me, also I have usually around 60% of battery left at the end of each day so that wouldn't be an issue either, it's just pulling the trigger, is it worth the upgrade over my Note 4 don't think so tbh.
