The NOTE line gets released at the worst time I tell you.

When the OG was released, it had Android 2.3 where Android 4.0 was available on the Gnex. And its guts are more powerful too, sadder was the fact the update took a LONG time.

The next year the NOTE II was released with 4.1, and 4.2 was available shortly after... like previously which took Samsung many months to roll out the decimal update.

Fast-forward two years, the NOTE 3 is about to debut and it will certainly come with 4.3 However, in the same period Android will make a generation leap to version 5.0. And again the NOTE 3 will probably be more powerful and feature-packed than the Nexus 4/Moto X
