Galaxy S 4 vs Note 3? What is the best for a developer?

    Im about to buy a new smart phone and I can't decide whats best for me. Im a web developer and I also like to blog. (I even spend time learning new languages)

    I already have a PC, a Notebook and a 7 inch Galaxy Tab 2. I tried to blog with the tab but its not working. Its slow.

    I now have several choices...

    1) Buy an S4 and buy a bigger tab later.
    2) Buy a Note 3 if it can be used for blogging and learning stuff better than the tab 2. Is it better?
    3) Stay with a small phone and get a larger tablet. But it might be hard to carry a tab.

    What is the best option for me?

    It sounds like a Note 3 is a sound option. It's going to be much faster than your Tab 2.0 and you may like the stylus support.
    Personally, after going through a couple tablets, I found I just would rather use my laptop for any lengthy typing.
    If you do stick with an S4 (or another smartphone), there are many larger tablets you can dock to a keyboard or hook up to a wireless keyboard. :)

    Also, I moved this to the Device Comparison subforum for further discussion.

    It's a hard one. If you couldn't blog with a Galaxy Tab2 what makes you think a Smartphone/Phablet will be any better?

    IMO? Get a Note 3 for the phone stuff and smaller blogging jobs and get a iPad Mini Retina for blogging in general.

    The biggest problem im having with the tab 2 is the speed. But note 3 is really fast :) Will the size matter?

    Thanks :) But im not planning to do lengthy posts :) The thing is I don't have much time to write now. I spend most of the day writing code... sitting in-front of my pc... Im really tired of sitting. If I can get something to take some of my work away from the desk and into a free places... thats what i really need :D

    PS : Thanks for moving the post. Im really sorry I didn't found that forum when posting :D

    The only reason to get the Galaxy S4 over the Note 3 is if you don't like large phones, even then the Nexus 5 would be a good alternative even if the battery life is rubbish.

    The Galaxy Note 3 is the fastest and most feature rich device available, if you don't mind the size or find the s-pen useful then there is nothing better out for you right now.

    If speed is the question then yes, the Note 3 will be way better. The old Galaxy S2 has better specs than the Tab 2.
