I went from a note 3 to an s7. Like you I never really utilized the stylus, and even though I had 3 extra batteries for my note, I'm still mostly ok with the tradeoff.

The size of the phones is nearly identical.

As you mention, the only thing that I dislike is not having a hardware menu key.. but it's worth looking into as a decent replacement phone.

The one thing I want to replace my Note 3 is a Note 3 that I can put custom roms on (like Cyan).

The problem with the S7 is Samsung isn't as friendly for the ROM tools. The S3 doesn't let me use TWRP so I have to either use Stock or CWM. I've never really liked CWM for some reason.

I'd pay good money for an upgraded Note 3 with TWRP capability.

Thanks but I wanted an even larger screen, about 6.5" or so. I'm just not motivated to switch to a phone the same size.

I have big hands/pockets so why not use them?
