It all depends on what you are looking for in a phone

The screen size difference will be very noticeable lol

Android operating system is very easy to use, not as restricted as iOS which is a plus

Can you tell me what you need in a phone?

Just so happens I have a Note 3 on trial so feel free to ask me specifics about it. I haven't used iOS so I can't compare directly.

Hi,

Comparing an iPhone to a Note 3 is like comparing apples to oranges, or tic-tacs to oranges at least (size)

In all seriousness, if you look at the differences in basic terms you have size as the biggest factor. In the hand you have a regular size candy bar iPhone versus a 'phablet' device. When it comes to screens you have a 3.5in display versus the Note 3's 5.7in screen. Then apart from the ability to use an extra memory card with the Note 3 it now becomes a 'what do you want' question. iOS versus Android is just an interface for most folk. Being able to remove the battery and plug in a spare (Note 3) is another nice-to-have but hardly a reason to switch.

What is it that you're after..?

To share my history, I used to own an iPhone 3GS - it was my first smartphone. I liked it alot (there were issues but this isn't the place) but I found iOS quite controlling and no memory card slot. Then I gave Android a go with the Samsung Galaxy S2 and loved it. Bigger screen too at 4.3in. Android really is/was liberating. The S2 was initially just a test device but it was fabulous for 13 months... then I drooled over the Note 3 info when it came out. Not really in the tablet market (yet) the Note 3 seemed a perfect next step. And it was and still is

Jonty.

Here's my progression...

iPhone 4 - HTC Sensation XL - S3 - S4 - Note 3

What you'll notice is an ever increasing desire on my side for more screen real estate. Android is very different to iOS (but at the core, both do the same thing) so the move will likely take some getting used to, as well as the mammoth size difference.

My Note 3 battery is phenomenal... I'm a very heavy phone user - YouTube, netflix, music, Facebook, Twitter... I can easily outlast a full day from 6am - > midnight which I could never do on my previous devices.

It's snappy too! No lag or waiting for anything. Want the internet browser open? Tap the icon and it's there.

While this is the perfect Android device for me, it may not be for you. The HTC One and Sony Z1 are both fantastic choices with some unique features if you fancy a slightly smaller (than Note 3) device.

Pop into an O2 store and you can get a good feel for them all 😉
