The only real benefit of the note 3 is the international edition has all the bands. The build quality and design of the note 4 is way better and tbh I'm not really bothered if one phone opens an app 0.3 seconds faster than another. I also have no interest whatsoever in roms apart from the official global rom.

I'm looking to replace my Samsung Note 4 (faulty mobo) - has anyone got any suggestions for phones with removable batteries? That's a must and severely limits my options.

Another Note 4? I'm currently on the Note 4, and coming up for an upgrade, but literally nothing on the market takes my fancy. Premium or chinese special, none seem to be worth the move.

I don't see an advantage of a removable battery, even none removable batteries can be replaced

The g5 does allow that, but that price bracket atm is insane.

Plasticky lol.
Have a black one in my hand and it has a high build quality. Just as solid as the wifes iphone 6 plus. I had a redmi note 3 which was a poor build quality imo as it creaked and flexed due to plastic top and bottom but this is all alloy and is
Solid.

I had an update around a week ago to the version im on now. It seems to be a little quicker at opening apps, but the major difference is the battery usage. Lasts a lot longer now than it did before the update.

I was looking to flash one of these more recent versions - have you noticed any difference since the older one from around march I think?
Fingers crossed you dont encounter any issues mate. Which security patch are you running?

If you look for threads centring around lag and reboots, you should find plenty. Just out of interest, what version are you running, Lollipop or MM?

Thanks for the info. I'll have a look around the net for info on this as i hadn't heard anything about it until your comment. Cheers.

Not likely after reading that the mobo failure has been around since the upgrade to MM earlier in the year. Something in the MM screwed things up and once it's done, it's done. People have tried with all kinds of ROM,s (stock, modded stock-based and custom) to no avail. I bought mine used and was really happy this week, but there's no way I'll buy another knowing there's a very good chance the same could happen.
The closest thing I've seen was the LG G5 but it's out of my price range.
