I haven't used the Note 3 so can't compare. The screen on the 4 is incredible, DisplayMate ( www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_Note4_ShootOut_1.htm ) do in depth testing and say that it has the best screen of any other phone out there. I think it has 3 gig ram - but it looks like 2 gig is used already without having much else open. I haven't noticed any of the awful lag that people claim to have - I think they are just being over critical. I don't know how much I'll use the s-pen or multi window stuff much but it's cool to have it there if i want it. The camera is great in bright light, but a bit grainy in the dark. I think the thing that impresses me the most is the battery life - i have 1 day 9 hours on one charge with 14% left - reading news, texting and calling a little but, but not constantly. It also feels like a quality piece of kit in your hand thanks to the metal frame around the edge - it's got sharp edges so you feel that you have a secure grip on the thing.

Did I say it has a good screen?

You can always wait for the next one, then the next one and never end up being happy. I was erring over this and the nexus 6 then plumped for the note as I couldn't wait. The day after I found out the nexus is up for pre order... To be honest, I'm extremely happy I went with the Note. If you buy it off contract, you can always get the next model next year - after all, Samsung have a rocket up their butts to change things due to poor sales.

I think most manufacturers will now make phablets to compete so the whole market could change, but hey, who knows

It made a right mess of my nexus 5. Flippin awful. Notifications from Viber and Whatsapp making the screen strobe and completely crash. Mute all sounds has gone..

Luckily, my spanky new Galaxy note 4 arrived on thursday morning so the nexus has been retired to the cupboard where old phones go to die. I hope Samsung do a good job of making it work properly.

I wouldn't buy a clone phone - it will probably come preinstalled with some nice privacy issues on top of the poor spec and substandard components as Mev rightly mentioned.

I't just not worth the risk in my eyes.

I would say try a load of them, you might find some don't suit where some will. Sometimes a combination of them can be even better than just one alone. Although saying that, I liked DV the best out of the ones I'd tried.

As Perpetua says, DV aniseed can knock your socks off - and it's lovely tasting too I used to mix it 5% aniseed and 5% liquorice and it was strong........ hmm. maybe i need to get some more....

Cool ideas

I once taped a bottle of juice to a reciprocating saws blade to give it a good shake - worked very well until the tape broke, the bottle flew off and it took 5 minutes to find again

Does this cover the whole thing slightly better?: www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/regulation/consumer-contracts-regulations

I think the original link is for the old distance selling regs that have been surpassed by the above thing.. I could be very wrong though, i did just have a cider
