Reviews on the S3 so far are positive. As there are problems with the Note+ICS, can I buy the S3. Then, install software such as Premium Suite on it? Does the S pen work on the S3?
No.
No Wacom digitizer means no S-pen. Fingers & capacitance pens would be as close as you get. You could probably load the premium suite on it, but I would assume the software on the s3 is more suited for it.
I just got ICS on my Note, & after doing a hard reset, it seems to be working quite nicely.

Software wise, yes that would be much easier
C-pen
I don't know what it means, but I suspect the S3 is not a fingers-only gadget.
I asked the staff at the Samsung store. He does not know about the C-pen nor
Premium Suite!
For turning the Note into S3 via software, do I need to root?
S3 has nothing to do with S-pen absolutely. It's the matter of hardware.
Sent from my GT-N7000
The C-Pen will just be a capacitive stylus, that would work on any device with a capacitive screen. It is essentially just an extension to your finger and won't have anywhere the precision or capability of the S-Pen.
Essentially, the SIII is a fingers-only device.

Yes, you will need root access but be VERY careful using root access with the current ics kernels because you could end up with a bricked device. I recommend giving the Midnote rom a try, it's full of s3 features. Just make sure you follow the installation instructions to be safe.

Most problems arise from people who flashes a lot. If you use stock rom and do not root or modify sensible system settings, you are mostly safe from bricking anything.
A Note is a Note and the S3 is the S3.
I guess you can't interchangeably turn one over the other.... You can however port some of the niceties of the S3 to the Note.. and it would add up more some cool features on your already powerful NOTE!
However the S3 CAN NEVER BE a Note... The Note was design as a high breed of a cross between a tablet and a phone.. while the S3 is just a plain Smartphone. Yeah, you might say there are more fancy and cool features that the S3 can do that blows the Note away, but given that the Note is a mix of a phone and a tablet... It functions in a dual manner.... You can use it in landscape mode and forget it as a phone, or you can do it the other way...
I never get bored using my Note as it offers an endless and myriad possibilities on what it can offer me... Even though the Note is already a year after its released.. It is still one hell of a PHABLET!.
Something that the S3 could never ever take it away... (I'm sure when all the hyped on S3 would die down... people using it would tantamount to being bored of it).
While on the other hand the NOTE?
well... It still belongs to the top pedestals of cross breeds of tablets and just a plain old boring smartphones.
and oh by the way... did I mention that It still as always attracts attention every time you use it in public?
I'm pretty sure the SPen is too long to fit in the S3.

If you can handle a 5.3" screen. I can't think of any reason you should go for Nexus.
For now Nexus only advantage is ICS, which note will have it anyday soon.

If the GNEX had Gingerbread, it would not warrant a second look. The camera is terrible.
ICS is the only advantage to the GNEX. Outside of that, the Note is superior in every way.
(I used to own a GNEX and sold it for the Note for reference)
Note by far, better processor, memory slot plus 16gb internal, better screen, better camera do I need to go on. .. Only.let down no ics but that will be corrected soon

You are posting this question in the note forum so your asking people that most likely haven't used a nexus.
I've got a note and love the larger screen size plus using expandable sd card storage is a judge plus in my eyes. I use a 64gb cars so have plenty of storage for all i need.
I haven't used a nexus but going on specs alone, screen size and sd storage was more then enough reason for me to go with the note. The stylus is a plus too butt i don't use it heaps so to me its not that important.
The camera on the note is great for a mobile phone and from what I've heard the nexus is not as good.
Apart from ICS on the nexus i don't see anywhere else it beats yhe note unless you want a smaller screen.

I think from the specs of both phones that the Galaxy Note is clearly the flagship for Samsung. Look at all the specs including the digitizer and s pen integration and it is clear that once the Galaxy Note gets ICS, the Nexus will be left behind. I mean the GNote can access the Russian GPS system for goodness sakes...!
I had a Nexus S for a short period of time before returning it and the truth is I like some of the touch wiz and Samsung add ons that the Nexus will not have. To me pure android is plain android. Just my perspective though.
If you can deal with the larger size, I say the Galaxy Note is more advanced, more versatile phone. It is clearly the device of 2011 although the Nexus got most the press.
I traded the Galaxy Nexus for a Note. The GNex is a good phone, but the main selling point was ICS. Once I got past the greatness that is ICS, I realized there just wasn't anything else special about it.

If it has a 10.1" screen no point in calling it "Note". It's against the basic motivation "all in one ultra portable" behind the "Note". I think it's just a Samsung employee mistyped.

As I know from the last rumors... Tab = with pen
Peter and chaosdefinesorder both have good point but I think it may not come out as well as expected for Samsung. "Note" was on the right path through becoming a real brand icon with some unique features as the name "iPhone" recently is. "Note" is probably the truly first device i-people consider changing their iPhone for. If they use name "Note" for tablets with pen I think they will lose that chance for good. I mean nobody calls iPhone as apple brand phone right? So it's better if Samsung keep "Note" as a brand name for specific highend models with s-pen and tablet-phones upto max 7". And they shall not release various different Samsung devices like 7"version and 5"3' with brand "Note" at the same time. They should release new version only once a year like iPhone does to keep Note brand name as perfection for ultraportable phablets if they wanna keep sales so good as it is now. So when people hear "Note" they will know exactly what it is and can picture it clearly instead of letting them think about it's one of Samsung phones among various different models.

I am pretty sure these will be new tablets with the digitizer pen, hence the name note. No one ever said that note should be just a phone, note name is connected to the pen not the phone.

For me I want the 'phone' size of a Note (I really do not feel it is large at all after a couple of months), and have a good big tablet for home use for playing games & surfing. That may have to spend a lot of time charging, or have some meaty batteries.
for me best phone/tab would be : galaxy note plus
5.3" screen
quad core cpu
1.5 gb ram
12 megapx camera
2x usb ports (for connecting hdmi adapter and other one for charging phone)
better battery

After seeing the s3 all I could think was how quick i'd get the Touchwiz/Default phone mode off it if I owned an one.
Once you use AOKP/AOSP in tablet mode there is literally no going back to that touchwiz mess... Seriously... Touchwiz/Default android phone mode just looks so silly now. WOW.
Also the quadcore while nice isn't enough... and no stylus... still pentile.
Camera app looks interesting - wonder if it can be ported to the note...?
I can't wait for the super hybrid rom for our Note that uses the Galaxy Tab 2 Touchwiz tablet mode framework and features the best of the Galaxy s3 and ICS Galaxy tabs..!

Yeah, SGS3 is a bit of a letdown, but that means that my one month old GNote was and still is the better buy. I can't say that I didn't expect that, it met my expectation just right. I laughed at people who thought that it would include A15 processor and some other crazy things. What I am surprised with, is the pentile matrix of the display, but I guess the techology is not there yet. Well, I guess the next big thing to wait for is GNote2.
Read reviews in other forums and found similar replies
S3 is fugly and let down.
Galaxy Nexus and Wave 3 have the best design in my opinion, this is how S2/Note/S3 should have been.

GS3 Veredict: Pass
I like the design, bluetooth4, the fancy software and NFC, but it doesn't have enough arguments to even remotely consider swapping my Note.
After all it was a minor upgrade to the SGS2. It's a pitty that so much expectation was created - it's a very nice device, but slightly better to what's in the market already.
If I had to choose between the note and the sgs3, definitely the Note.

Don`t get me wrong, the One X isn`t a bad phone at all but the S3 is superior to it.

Both email clients have their advantages over the other. The gs3 is a great phone but:
The screen is nowhere near as readable in bright conditions (and the dark themes are not helping)
The radio on the One X is heaps better. Has more bars and I can make calls where the Samsung drops out.
Haven't quite decided which one to keep and other than the above points the differences are not that not (except the sd card and battery of course)
Don't know why people bag the gs3 design either.....I think it's just fine!
If Samsung had put the best materials in SG3, would not discuss what the best phone. That's my opinion.
Yesterday Ive put galaxy s3 and hox side by side with a friend and now my friend wants too trade, but I still don't Luke Samsung
I don't like the design, the GPS performance and the UI. Still a lover for sense. Inside on an old building ive got 2bars off network and none on samsung. I make a call and didn't work on samsung.
Bluethoot integracion with my fiat works better with hox than samsung. For some reason I can't copy my contacts from samsung to my car, that's kill me.
Htc have much more options for personalization than galaxy s3. Ok we can put cm9 and miui and transforme this phone's completly and turn daily use the same cheat
The things I like on samsung its only 3. Dialer with 3g video call, better camera on video and the back speaker its much better

It will be almost the same as Galaxy S4. You did not notice that Galaxy S2 almost same as Galaxy Note? And Galaxy S3 almost the same thing as Galaxy Note 2. I can't find ANY uniqueness in Galaxy S4 for me.
The s3 and Note 2 are nowhere close to being the same. Maybe looks but inside are not the same.

Different sizes is going to be big flop concept. Just a couple of variants like s4 is enough, screen size should be same. What I am expecting that note 3 will have smoothness from note 2 and features from s4. In short, it will be a Job Finished of what it would have been in the s4.

Galaxy S3 and Note2 are the same, inside to. Same exynos 4212 q core chip. only big diference i se is S-pen and screen size. and only 1 gig ram in S3 3g version 2 gig in 4G verersion.
But one exiting thing with S4 4G (I9505) version is Snapdragon chipset, same as s4 google edition, and i thing i saw someone making dual boot google edition and samsung stock rom
I'm going to go out on a limb here and gamble, and say the Note 3 will have at least 2 sizes,and be different to the s4,if you think about it, the mega is not too different to the s4, so I can't see a big presentation showing this, could you see them showing a mega with only a few different things to the mega! Not me, this isn't going to be a apple presentation with only a few differences like the iPhone 3, then the 3s, then the iphone 4, then the 4s.

As long as they don't follow the idiots copying Apple's worst ideas like frigging integrated batteries, no expandable storage with small or very expensive internal memory and scrap metal cases I would buy a Mega-sized Note III the day it's available even if NOTHING but the display size changes from the Note II.
I don't think they will change the battery, and memory card slot, that would be suicidal, by the way the one thing that will stop me getting this phone, AND I mean the only reason is if it has the same flash player as the s4, awful experience, the note 2 has the best internet experience, even the HTC one, built in flash player is awful, I use a football streaming website and only the note 2 it plays smooth, no lag or stuttering, all from the default browser, not chrome, and I tested the mega as well, and same thing, so the s4, mega and HTC one, all have awful flash player experience.

Try SopCast. I have many third party channels in my country, and can see all football matches. Works perfect with Note 2 and S4.

Just a couple of variants like s4 is enough, screen size should be same.

Actually, I already lost count of the S4 variants. One comes out every week I do hope Samsung refrains from this on the Note 3. But I do agree that 2 variants is more than enough. Screen size will certainly increase. That, is almost certain. It would be suicidal not to when the competition will be releasing phablets with screens around 6".

Right on! :good: I played with the Huawei Ascend Mate a bit last weekend and loved its 6.1" screen. I also realized that moving from 5.5" to 5.7" will be irrelevant. I'll have to move to 6" to notice any real world difference.

Phone Arena does it again! Yet another utterly pointless, irrelevant and totally devoid of any new info "leak".
I dont understand why ppl think the Note 3 will come in 3 sizes???? Why in the world would samsung do that? I dont think it makes any sense. I do however believe that it'll come in at least 2 variants, 1 snapdragon 800 version and 1 exynos 5 octa 2nd gen version. I also think that it'll be either a 5.7 inch or 5.9 inch display but most likely 5.7 inch due to all the latest rumors. Samsung needs to leave some room for future notes. If they release a note 6.4 like the Z ultra, next year it'll have to be bigger otherwise it'll be a downgrade in size. Bigger than 6.4 inch is a tablet period so 5.7-5.9 inch is pretty cool.
All the note 3 needs to do ( in my opinion) to be a worthy upgrade to the best mobile device ever ( note 2 of course) is to have a flawless performance and even more cooler and useful tricks with the Spen, have a 1000% lag free experience ( not like the S4 when it launched), slimmer and have less bezel all around with amazing battery life. I also HOPE that samsung ditches the stupid features like smart pause and smart scroll that are honestly gimmicky ( who really scrolls up and down a web page with their eyes...) and give us more very useful features like multi-window. Last but not least, please Samsung, ditch the S4, S4 mini, galaxy mega 6.3 design and introduce us to something more exciting, different and less predictable.
Just need to say that the scrolling the website, is not a gimmick, you will use it and not even realise after a while,
It's a shame that there is so much space wasted on the bezel, I would prefer Samsung on the home button, than above, and also it would be mad for them not to release a 6" size, version, could we see a notification home button like the G pro, phone,

It definitely is a gimmick. I had the S4 and never used it. Its much easier to scroll down the page with your fingers...Also i think 5.7 inches is perfect.
Did it work for you 100%?
