Thats my main question... Cause I really want the Galaxy Note. HUGE 5.3" screen is awesome, but I love the new features coming to the S3, like wireless charging, or taking pictures @ the same time as recording a video. So if some features from the S3 are coming to the Galaxy Note I will get the Galaxy Note cause I love big Screens!

Wireless charging? that require hardware modifications so it is up to you if you want to add that yourself using one of the guides that you can find by searching xda.
About the software, a lot will be ported to the note eventually but don't expect anything to come out of Samsung. They won't be able to sell the new galaxy s3 if you can find most of its features somewhere else ie in the note.

Never going to happen. As the first reply suggests, it would be marketing suicide for the s3 if Samsung gave an older and cheaper product with already brilliantly unique perks (Note) the same software as their latest product (s3).

wireless charging needs hardware mod or something in the backplate to work
So a big no.
Sammobile just posted first S3 rom. Hopefully full TW port should happen soon
Damn... Ok thanks guys that does make sense since tehy do want everyone to move and buy new devices! I hope someone is able to port the Camera over!
You just wait my friend i will do it. Wireless charging for note.

It's happening. Of course not by Samsung directly.There is S3 leaked rom which can be ported to Note.

Question is what kind of wireless charging is on S3. If there's some kind of dock then this is useless.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
from what ive heard
wireless charging is only 6inches in radius
not that fancy ^^
i think most other s3 stuff could be ported to note and nexus

Just though i'd let you all know the galaxy tab successor was just spotted in a pre-wmc add, looks like its 4.0 and a stylus built in! Can't wait to see this develop!

Thats the samsung galaxy tab 2, which has apparently the same specs as our galaxy tab 10.1 (if not lower). Wait for the galaxy note 10.1 for much higher specs, hi res screen etc
Hopefully this will make for an easy port to our device!
I really dont expect samsung to give our tabs ICS soon especially since this newer version has the similar hardware to the original tab 10.1.
I feel like samsung would not want to release ICS for our tabs so they can sell more of the newer version, but maybe I am just a pessimist.

I just dont understand why cant Samsung just update our tab 10.1 to ICS and then lower the price and sell it as low end model. Then release note 10.1 as a successor with higher specs.
99% of us are not going to upgrade to tab 2 anyways. So whats the incentive for releasing a new model with exactly same specs, but with ICS ?

Well it seems like it will have the front facing speakers. I find them ugly though. Ill hope the side speakers come to Canada as they don't have to work around any Apple lawsuits here.

Agree them front speakers look UGLY...
Somehow, in spite of having the same specs, it's gotten thicker (9.7mm vs 8.6mm) and heavier (588g vs. 565g). It also now supports Glonass for GPS and has a MicroSD slot. I wonder if the added bulk is due to moving to a cheaper to build design.
I'm sure all the lawsuits Samsung has been dealing with brought all this about... Also they have to support this tab for 18months per Google rules so we WILL see ICS

I just recently bought a Skyrocket and being that it is SII based, it is a very nice phone. I am still being pulled into the Note though even with the SIII on the horizon. I am looking to hear from the guys who have a Galaxy Note what they think about it and after owning it for a while if they would keep it or trade for something smaller.
Just some FYI, I have been on android since the Aris, I have also owned the, Galaxy S, Thunderbolt, G2x, Moto Droid 2, Sensation, and xoom, all of which have been rooted and ROMed. I consider myself well educated and experienced in android phones.
I've had my note since November and can honestly say there's still not a phone on the horizon I'd trade in my NOTE for. Love it like a baby!

i know the feeling that he has!
After watching that video I feel very much the same.
Not quite with a smartphone but I remember going from my 17" 1280x1024 LCD to a 24" 1920x1200 and it was WOW. After using the 24" and then looking at the 17" I just couldn't look at the smaller screen.
Even though I have not owned a smartphone other than the Note I can not see myself going to a smaller phone.
So my next phone will be another Note hopefully.
I really like it. But it really depends on the person.
So my recommendation is go to a store where they sell them and look at a demo or something.

I still have an SGS II and the wife loves hers. She doesn't want a Note. I love using the Note and I am still amazed at people's surprise when seeing the phone. They don't know what it is. Most people then want one.
I will be buying an International S3 when they start appearing used to see of the mid size screen between the s2 and note will be a good trade off, If so the SGS2 will go on Ebay and the Note will then be relegated to the back up position. If not the S3 will go back on Ebay and I keep the S2 until the Note II.
I don;t find the size prohibitive at all. I am used to using two hands on it and use it like a Notepad. Carrying it in my pockets is easy ( I would not want to put a case on it though).

Totally agreed, i has tried my frend.sg3. It really different level in terms of smoothness and speed if compare to our note.
But it is not fair to put the comparison in between note and sg3, since sg3 is quadcore handset.
Im glad you owned a new sg3, for me i will wait for note 2, since the new comming note.confirmed will have better performance in every aspect than sg3 for sure. No doubt at all.

if the note 2 comes i will sell the s3 and buy Note 2
( a lunatic android fan huh )
Definitely going to wait for note 2! The idea of going back to a smaller display is out of the question. I don't think that the slightly lag on my note will drive me to buy s3.

Same here sold my note and got HTC One X but i bought it back and sold the HTC One X.
I really am looking forward to note 2 but due to Samsung's lack in the ICS update on time I probably will switch brands. I mean I will still keep my note and use it for my media like movies TV shows and books (continue using it as a mini tablet) but when its time for an upgrade I probably will just get another phone just not from samsung, unless of course the NOTE 2 has a incredible feature that makes be forget about this entire ICS 'update disaster' from Samsung.

I'll be damn tempted by the GS3 once it has a strong dev community AOSP backing. I like what's going on in terms of AOSP for the Note (especially CM9), but if I can't use my pen, I may as well have a smaller phone (I'm not getting the Nexus because it doesn't have a card slot).

I have a very one time heavy decision. My very rare chance for getting a phone. I'm currently have a galaxy s2 ig100g. Is it worth upgrade to note 3? Or I should wait for newer model? Any recommendation.
Sent from my GT-I9100G using Tapatalk
From the S2 the upgrade will be something similar to when you bought your first smartphone. The massive increase in power and functionality will definitely be a night and day difference for you.
In my opinion, if you are able to afford to get the Note 3 go for it. There will always be something better coming out next year and if you keep waiting you'll end up never getting anything. The Note 3 however hit a really sweet spot with getting quite a lot right, so it's a great choice for purchasing.

I think that the S5 will be equally desirable as the note 3 when it comes out in april-ish.
The screen size, battery life, and stylus make the note 2 as good as this gen phones.
Note 3 is a whole generation ahead IMO
I came from S2 to note 3, never looked back. s pen is good once you get use to it.

i upgraded from GS2 to GN3, its an amazing device and it would be worthy upgrade. if you have to wait for new device then you have to wait for ever. upgrade and enjoy.
Same here. My previous phone was S2. I decided to upgrade to Note 3 mainly because I want to feel how the s-pen works and will I be able to maximize my daily usage with the phone's features. Definitely a 100% go for me if you want to upgrade from S2. I am enjoying immensely the Note 3's features, s-pen, bigger screen. It's like a totally new phone to me!! Go for it! :good:

Me! I'm not a Note3 user, and I'm currently not so happy with my phone. When I looked at the leaked specs, I thought "this is paradise" and, well... [emoji16]
I need you guys' opinions on switching from a phone to a phablet. Can you kindly give me any?
:superhyped:
N9005 might be my last Samsung. We are nearly 10 months after launch and AOSP roms like CM have only just reached a more or less stable phase. I can only imagine Samsung will do anything it can to make AOSP development more difficult in the future.
For the moment I am fine just as my N3 is
Note 4 will see the struggle with Android 5 AND eventually (on some models, not all) with 64-bit Android 5 so I am in no big hurry to pay premium money for being basically a beta-tester.
But you can understand my position better if I say that my N9005 is still on rooted knox-0 stock 4.3 heavily optimized with xposed and similar stuff.
If I do upgrade it MIGHT be on Note 5, and only if there is no truly-open premium alternative.
Not sure yet...

I don't see how that's Samsung's problem. When we decide to root and flash different recoveries, kernels, ROMS and modems we know we are taking a risk of potentially messing up our phones. The fact that you are having that issue after doing all of those things is not Samsung's fault.
As for the Note 4, i'm probably going to go with the next version of the Galaxy Mega 6.3 if Samsung bumps up the specs a bit. I know they want to keep it as a mid-range device, but it has to be more useable than the current Galaxy Mega.
It's a shame reading that so many people ate unsatisfied with their phones.
Personally I absolutely love the Note 3. I have had it since it was released and it is absolutely perfect for me. There art many positive surprises. The screen in direct sunlight, battery life and how tough and water resistant it is. With my previous phones I was always discovering small problems. With the note I am constantly experiencing small advantages. It was the same story with the note 2.
If a new one will come out though I am not sure if I can resist buying it

Care to elaborate....
I would maybe wait for the Note 4 instead of buying it on release day.
If there was a bigger flagship phone from any other company I might decide to go for it.
Even though I haven't tripped KNOX and on the latest C-RoM, I might want to try something new later. Samsung is just doing the same thing over and over again. Samesung.
Not only Samsung every company is doing same thing. But note series is having more spices. And I am satisfied customer of note series. I am not a big fan of cm or mui because I love pen and camera feature. And my note 3 is fast and better than any other phone..
