I have been looking into Samsung devices, both tablets and phones. I bought a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition but even though I like a lot of things about it (especially the S-Pen) it has some pretty serious battery issues (dropped 15% between midnight and 9 this morning while idle); something keeps it awake, even with all stock apps (18h awake out of 20h total and 1h screen on time). I have also read a LOT of battery issue reports on other Samsung tablets as well, including the new Tab S.
So I was wondering if the Note series of phones have any major issues that people here have witnessed. I don't think there is enough difference between the Note 3 and Note 4 to justify the 4's extra cost to me. I wanted an iPhone 6+ but my eyes have never been all that good and I have had a lot of trouble reading the thin fonts ever since iOS 7 (and yes, I know about the settings to change to larger fonts, bold, higher contrast, etc). I currently have an LG G2 and the browsers (both the default and chrome) have settings that make reading enjoyable; I MUCH prefer reading websites such as MacRumors on my LG G2 over my iPad Mini 2 (which I love in every other way).
