Just bought this phone for my wife. Now thinking whether to root it or just official update.
Any advise?
Never used Samsung before. But I believe if I root it, can unroot it easily for warranty claim just in case, right?

any reason for rooting? and the way you put it... it seems like you're into custom roms (mention of "official update")?

unlike iphones, rooting not required on android to install third party apps. you just need to enable the function (under SECURITY).

i've used my note for more than a year now without the need to root. unless you (your wife, actually) need something that is currently not on the phone (like Note 3 features), otherwise, no need to root.

been using custom roms more than 2 yrs. faster update and im OK with AOSP. even my sensation is running on 4.4.2 now.
need the root access to install apps from black market. medical related apps cost $29.99.
