For folks who make informed decisions, this post would certainly help them decide whether they should upgrade to Samsung Galaxy S4 from Samsung Galaxy Note 2
5 reasons Not to Upgrade to Samsung Galaxy S4 from Galaxy Note 2
- Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has better battery life

- S-pen is not available in Samsung Galaxy S4

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has best battery life in Smartphone industry as of today, beats Samsung Galaxy S4 in this department. The 3100 mAh battery in Note 2 lasts for 1.5 days of moderate usage that is pretty impressive, while Galaxy S4 lasts for a day. For me in today's world battery life is one of the most important aspects to look out for before buying a Smartphone. I mean, no matter how "Smart" is your phone, it is useless if it dies down while you still outside working. You can surely increase the battery life of Android phone by 30% using some simple techniques.
Much hyped Exynos 5 Octacore is a great processor, but in real life the difference in performance is not even noticeable. Same is true If you using the US version, the Quadcore processor with increased clock speed does not change the performance of the device too drastically.
The main reason why I decided to buy Samsung Galaxy Note 2 was the S-Pen and S-Note features. I take note while I am working, surfing web and during lectures. It has replaced my usual pen and paper! I think this feature has become an essential part of my lifestyle. Just because of this reason every time I change ROM on my Galaxy Note 2, I revert back to Touchwiz UI. Samsung Galaxy S4 does not come with S-Pen
The display resolution might not be as good as Samsung Galaxy S4, but the screen on Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is still one of the best in business. The massive 5.5 inch display is great for media consumption and I love every minute of watching YouTube videos and surfing the web on it.
If you haven't upgraded already, there is absolutely no reason why you should do it now. Samsung Galaxy Note 3 launch is rumored to be coming in next few months. Galaxy Note 3 is expected to have 5.9 inch Super Amoled, Octacore processor, 13 megapixel camera and even larger battery! So, enjoy your Note 2 for few more months and your patience will bear a sweet fruit. Though Galaxy Note 3 will not have metal frame or metallic design. If rumors are to be believed Samsung Galaxy Note 3 might get launched on 6th of September.
Personally, I am not upgrading to Samsung Galaxy S4 and will rather wait for the launch of Samsung Galaxy Note 3. For those, who are still not convinced and really want to get Samsung Galaxy S4 no matter what, here are:
The Top 3 reasons why you should go ahead with the Upgrade
- Samsung Galaxy S4 has better camera
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has a great camera, but Galaxy s4 has much better shooter. 13 megapixel rear camera with Galaxy Camera UI is absolutely awesome. Though Note 2 might get the Galaxy Camera UI in future software updates, it will still be 8 megapixel. - Samsung Galaxy S4 has better display resolution
The full HD display of Samsung Galaxy S4 is sharper and crispier, the smaller size and higher resolution gives it a pixel density of 441 as compared to 227 Pixel per inch found on Samsung Galaxy Note 2. - The Form Factor
Well if you have Note 2 and regret your decision, because it is little too big for your hands, go for the upgrade, as Note 3 is going to be bigger (at least in terms of screen size).
