hi,

wondered if anyone can help with any advice. I am due an upgrade and currently have the note 1. I had an iphone 4s a few years ago but i couldnt take to it after having android. i sold it after a few months and got the note which i have really liked. i love the huge screen but i have recently ordered an ipad air in favour of the tab 3 10.1 or note 10.1. a few i have spoke to say that ipad over tablet everytime but not always iphone over android. anyone offer their experience?

thanks

    If you love huge screens, don't get an iphone. The Note 3 would get my vote but you need to choose what you like. Every phone will have its fans. Why only a choice of two?

    These are the 2 that i would go for purely based on having used them before. a friend had iphone 5 and i was impessed with that. A relative recently got the nexus 5 and neither they or I like it much.

    What didn't you like about the N5? The Note will be similar in lots of ways

    i think its the fact that having used samsung for a few years now you get used to the set up and placement of things and how to work them.

    Note 3 does everything for me and the battery life is awesome.

    I was not a big fan of samsung B4 but now im

    Personally I'd get the iPhone as iOS is just a nicer experience overall in my opinion, unless there is something g specifically about the Note 3 you need or want.

    My Nexus 5 is terrible to be honest. Poor sound quality, especially from the external speakers. Its an excellent portable computer, but a terrible phone and media player due to the speakers.

    I'm probably going to swap it for a moto 4g unless the iphone 6 appeals.

    Note 3 is big no way around that and even bigger with a case on .
