Should I buy an S4 or Note 8?

I already have an iPhone 5 and have been using "iDevices" for a while. I now want to experience the Android side of things. I'm planning on buying either a Galaxy S4 or a Note 8. I will be using whichever device along with my iPhone and will be taken with me to most places I go. Which would give me a more enjoyable experience?

Added (1). I can easily afford both btw although buying the Note 8 would obviously save me some money: P

Samsung galaxy note 8.
i've got 1 and love it i had a S4 and gave it back to Many Problems and brought a Samsung galaxy note 2

I'd get the S4 if you can. What's your budget?

S4 is an excellent device also is HTC One coming from an iphone to a Android platform will require a small learning curve. I would suggest go to a store and spend time on the S4 and see how you like it. Having a removable battery is great and you can disable some of the gimmicky features on the S4 to save battery life. I say s4 over the Note

I think that basically depends on your usage. If you need a smartPHONE, which can also carry out plenty of tasks in a small-sized package, then you'd better go for S4. If you need a TABLET, which can also double up as a phone, but does many tablet based functions such as drawing, planning, e-mailing etc., then go for Note 8.0.

In your case, you already have an iPhone 5. I suggest you get the Note 8.0 because you can get the best of both worlds: the mobility of a smartphone, and the efficiency of a tablet. Also, you indeed save some money!

  • Should i buy the note 3 or the iphone 5s? I want to get a new phone but after like 6 months so i can have the right money to get what i want. So which phone should i choose!
  • Should I buy the Note 3 or iPhone 5c? I'll be purchasing my first phone ever this, Friday and I'm so excited! HOWEVER, I'm torn between the Note 3 and the 5C. So I need help on picking one. Please explain why you think either phone is the best choice.
  • Should I buy the new iPhone 5, or wait until November for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2? I'm really tempted to get the iphone 5 right now, because I really want to switch out of my blackberry. I've never used an android phone, and I'm sick of the apple ios. The ios is too simple and plain. I was going to get the galaxy note but then I heard rumors of the Samsung Galaxy note 2. Should I risk getting the iPhone 5 and not regret it or wait 1 and a half months for the Galaxy Note 2?
  • Should I buy Samsung Galaxy Note 2 or iPhone 5? I can't decide. I was thinking of buying iPhone 5 but I was quite disappointed with it as the screen is longer instead of wider. Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has a wide screen and I can do different tasks with it. Despite that, I've always use iPhone and I don't really hope changing another brand.
