Galaxy Note devices have proven to be the best devices that Samsung have ever created. Even the old ones like Galaxy Note 3 or even Note 2 still remain good phones and are very popular nowadays. But the problem is not with the hardware because if you have a phone with 3 GB of RAM and an quad-core processor you have a beast on your hand. You may upgrade to latest devices with 4 GB of RAM and octa-core processor you won’t notice any change in the performance.
Of course it is more powerful but the problems are related more to the software. Samsung has made some changes on his TouchWiz Android version and one of them is Samsung’s SPCM service.
