Galaxy Note 5 vs. Galaxy Note 3: 10 Important Details

Those who bought the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in 2013 will be coming off contract later this year. And one of the more intriguing upgrade options will be the Samsung Galaxy Note 5, a device that is quickly becoming the massive elephant in the room. With Galaxy Note 5 rumors firming up, we want to take a look the most important things Galaxy Note 3 upgraders need to know as we push into summer.

At IFA 2013, Samsung took the stage and announced its third-generation Galaxy Note 3, a device that replaced the Galaxy Note 2 as the company’s flagship. At the time, the Galaxy Note series was one of only a few mainstream big screen smartphone options and many people flocked to it signing new two year contracts in the process.

We’re now almost two years removed from the Galaxy Note 3 release. It’s an exciting time for those that have stuck it out this long because it means that a potential upgrade is near. Devices like the Galaxy Note 4, iPhone 6 Plus and LG G4 are tempting but there’s another device looming on the horizon, a fifth-generation Galaxy Note dubbed Samsung Galaxy Note 5.

For months, we’ve heard stories about the Galaxy Note 5 and what it might offer to upgraders. In the past two weeks we’ve started to see Galaxy Note 5 rumors start to firm up to the point that we now have a pretty vivid picture of an unreleased phone.

The Galaxy Note 5 launch date, Galaxy Note 5 release date and Galaxy Note 5 specs aren’t confirmed but we have some solid leads. With those in mind, we want to take a look at how the Galaxy Note 5 is stacking up with the Galaxy Note 3. Nothing is confirmed until Samsung confirms it but these details will help you start to formulate a plan as we push deeper into July towards the Galaxy Note 5 launch.
