Unbelievable! They used the black button again on the black stylus! Didn't they learn their lesson last time from customers?

wow! note 2 is amazing

Let the hack begin
Time for the developers to get the note 2 rom on our mighty note 1. Let's see how
Long it takes:good:

i don't see the point of upgrading mine. nope.

Not that impressive with specs
Will stick with my Note and see how things go till I make the plunge,disappointment for sure.I feel Note -1 will remain unique comparing with this:silly:

The 2gb ram and quad core is hardly of any use.. Except hardcore games. Note 1 is super amazing for everything . also display on note 1 is better ppi and resolution wise. With jelly bean and the note2 features ported to note 1 I'm sure it's gonna be rocking.

I'll wait until it's rooted and plenty stable custom rom.
Thanks for this post,definitely an inspiration to work for more so I can buy this beast

One BIG nothing!
Shame, shame, shame! And, one more word: BLAME! What a sh.ty "upgrade".

wtf is wrong with you people? Its such an amazing device. I'm thinking about getting one by the end of the year and giving my note to wifey.

Comparing it to Nexus 7 is genious ... I want to see it next to first Note.

You're right...the only thig i want from that note 2 it is the battery

Things I like on the Note II
2gb Ram
Bigger Battery
Still not worthy of an upgrade. Plus I think the Note I has better screen resolution than Note II.

Not a big deal, i won't buy it... seems like S3 is better than note2

Video frome TheVerge

I knew they were going to use the s3 design on it, but I was hopping that they will go in another direction.
In my opinion s3 feels so cheap when you hold it, then it feels even cheaper when you are not holding it because of the glossy plastic and greasy fingerprints on it.... I'm gonna stick to my note, maybe note 3 will be better.
I like the hardware on note2, but still...

Can you confirm the LED Notification light? Because RGB Led doesn't exactly say it...

Can't believe no one else has said it.
F*ck the note 2... why halllloooo Samsung galaxy camera!!! Now that is one sexy beast!!!

http://www.samsungmobilepress.com/2012/08/30/Be-Creative,-Be-Expressive-with-the-GALAXY-Note-II

It's the end of one beatiful friendship...
Let's check possible scenario:
1. New one Note 1 in my country is 420 €.
2. I can sell mine for about 300 €, if I was lucky... In perfect condition, btw, with 4-5 cases.
3. New Note 2 will be, IMO, around 600 € plus minus 20 €.
4. So, for 2 Gig of RAM, and better batery (+300 mAh) I'll have to pay +300 €.
5. Let's check the other manufacturers offers, it's about time...

Is that stock note? Filled with bloatware and useless stuff that makes it so slow?
note for the win
I was really considering the One X before i watch this video (even though I don't have a clue what he is saying ) but after seeing this it's like there is a HUGE difference in screen size!!
I was thinking 0.6 wouldn't be that much to lose but it seems it is, damn you Note
Yeah I thought exactly the same but screen size on ONE X seems a lot smaller and I think we are all doomed to wait for Galaxy Note II or so!!!
I still say this phone is going to have major battery complaints.

My Note does everything I want to do, so I'm sticking with it. I buy for usabilty rather than specifications. I'd not be happy ●downgrading● to a smaller screen. Lol.

I'm going to get One X when it is on sale in the UK and sell my Note. As much as I enjoy using the Note the last 5 months and still think the Note's screen and expendable memory is great benefit compared to the One X. I'm mainly changing for the 4.0 software shipped with HTC. Had Samsung kept their promise of ICS update by end of April, I'd be happy with keep on using Note, but I'm starting to get sick with general slowness of Gingerbread.
The pic alone should be sufficient to see how this comparison does not make any sense as all the others comparing the Note with "the rest"...
The Note is THE SOLE AND ONLY ACTUALLY USABLE SMARTPHONE TODAY, the One X is just one of the other countless, useless stupidphones I am no more interested in.
Most concerning part of htc one x is battery.
Does 1800 mAh battery will enough for 4.7inch device?
Note have 2500 mAh
One more thing i suspect is GPS, note have dual support gps + glonass, n thats y mote having marvelous gps fix, hardly i do have read complain about this, i think one x don't have glonass.
No memory card slot also annoying part for one x.
Some positive thing is powerful processor, n preinstalled ICS for htc x.
Overall i do stick with note only, if i explain just one reason, can't compromise screen size anymore.

He basically put down some specs and display comparison. He has that the one x, has that outsticking camera is a minus for the phone since it more likely gonna scratch. He also said that the screen viewing angle is almost edge on edge but NOTE is slightly better. Both are fast phones. Also his conclusion is the HTC one x is a great phone smaller better pocketable but the Note is still the slightly better all around phone. But the size can be a issue with some. And I didn't translate it word for word just a short version.
Samsung Note
Ketan words made me remember some wise words:
Someone said: "Size don't matter".
Well, either this person had a small penis or didn't had a galaxy note.
I'm going to ask my Austrian friend to watch and translate the video.

Yeah, that's almost right - sorry, i do not own the phone, that was a hands-on with pre-series and i cannot make another english version.
Big update in the first post
i put some other comparison pics in the first post, also another video (but that one is more focused on the one x, only a short note comparison)

Samsung Galaxy SIV or Galaxy Note 2

Please selece the one you would like in the future.
what are the fantasy specs of each?
I don't think specs matter. It's about about screen size. Take a loot at what's happening with S3 and Note. S3 is supposed to be a lot faster thanks to 4 cores, but still lots of people are choosing Note. Big screen > faster CPU.
This is such a stupid thread. I do not want either of them unless the specs are officially revealed by Samsung.

This is false, and I will tell you why: right now the note has reached sales of 7 million while the galaxy s3 had 9 million pre orders... I think if you give it another 6 months (current life of note) it will further destroy the note in sales. Faster CPU > bigger screen for 'lots' of people, especially when it has the fame of the s2 behind it.

This is 2 different devices for 2 different type of people...
How do You know that there will be Note 2? Why would they build it? What they can improve on it? Where comes the trend of Galaxy 2, Galaxy 3, Note, Note 2? Is it because of Iphone? I don't think that Samsung will build Note 2 in near future, certainly not in 6 months or by end of this year. Current Note will be here for at least 2 years. Remember my words...

Obviously Note 2 will have bigger screen than SGS4...otherwise there would be no point in making those two separate devices, would it ?
I would take the Note 1 over the s4 anyway

What if Samsung pay heed to all of the feedback from people that think the Note is too big and make the Note 2 smaller...?
Maybe they'll put a 4.8" or 5" screen in it... and the main differentiator will be the stylus.
All of this speculation is useless. Until we have specs, making a decision, or some bold statement that one device will be better than the other, is foolish.

A SGN user, here, Really love the BIG screen SGN has, my next phone will be another note.
Plus with the success of SGN, I doubt the next phone screen size will be smaller than 5.3"
I'd like Galaxy note 5 but sgs 8 looks also nice. And don't forget iphone 6...

I'm sure the Note 3 will crush them both! Hopefully it has a super thin, rollable 10" screen, which folds into a match box.

Twisted, since you have the International Note 2, what speeds are you getting? My International Note 1, is averaging 6 down, but my SIII is getting 60 down. I'm in North Dallas area. I'm itching to buy the International, but will probably wait for the LTE.

exactly man.
you forgot how many problems you got with the widgets, when is not covering full screen ? Looking ugly and fake ?
you forgot how many problems we got before with "non optimized" resolution ?
Galaxy note 2 much more smarter. Resolution is optimized for everything. Plus it brings more FPS for us.
And the icons it just a launcher. It will be hacked later.
I created loads of folders now I can find eveything on home screen and set other screens just for show and widgets

[Q] Worth exchanging my Nexus 5 and 150euros for the Note 3?

I found this guy that wants to exchange his note 3 for my nexus 5 but i will have to add 150euros cash along with the nexus 5.
Do you think it is worth ? I love the pure android on the nexus 5 , but i love bigger screens. Also no bloatware is amazing on the nexus.
Can i make a note 3 really something near the nexus 5 (talking about software)(bloatware,etc)
I think it depends on you. You can remove bloatware. You can even load GEL on the phone like I did. But does what you're losing from nexus 5 matter more or less than what you're gaining with note 3?
To me, s pen, bigger screen, nicer camera, better speakers, and longer battery matter more. I won't get Android first but I have a nexus 10 for that.
My 2 cents. Just to tease you, Iattached photo of note 3 with GEL.

It looks very clean. Nice ! I love OTA updates , and the material and build of the nexus 5 , i just love it. But the big screen and better camera really turns me on !! I'm so confused.
My philosophy is that OTA is nice but along with being first comes bugs. And no matter how much people trash touchwiz, it's the most popular. If people are still buying it, really isn't that bad. It also adds elements to OS you don't get with Vanilla Android. My buddy has one and just like the HTC One I ogle the hell out if the build. But this Black Note 3 is tremendously nicer in hand than my old note 2, so it's not as bad. At the end of the day they all have cases on them. Note 3 does feel nice though.

The camera, to me, is phenomenal. There's a thread with samples in it, but the camera on my phone definitely trumps my point and shoot now. No reason to have a point and shoot when your phone has a camera like this. It's definitely better than the Nexus 5's camera.

Who has an S5 and is getting a Note 4?

Don't know for you guys, but the Note 4 is probably the phone i've been waiting for for years. If these picture turn out to be true, i'm pulling the trigger on that one. Metal frame, 2K display, 4K recording, IOS, 3GB RAM, 32GB of storage minimum...yup, that most likely is my dream phone. I know this phone looks like a giant S2, but the S2 is the galaxy phone i liked the design the most.
Because of my carriers flexible upgrade policies, i've been upgrading phone every 6 months for the S and note line respectively, but after seeing this Note, I'm almost certain I will keep it until the next Note comes out, unless the S6 will be ever more beastly of course!!:fingers-crossed:
There are a few features I hope this phone will have, most of all, stereo speakers. I can see one speaker grill on the bottom, i hope there is another one on top. Besides that, i would not spit on integrated wireless charging. I mean waiting a few months and paying an additional 70$ for a wireless charging back and pad is a bit ridiculous. I also hope they make a few features better, such as fingerprint sensor, which i dont use because i think it's such a drag to swipe your finger on the button, i honestly hope they go for the same idea apple did with their 5S

The Note line have always been the real Samsug flasgships since release. Don`t know if i`ll get it though, i`ll wait for the Nexus 6 probably
ill be getting a note 4. i had a note 3 before i got the s5 and gave the n3 to my brother.
very often do i almost feel like trading him phones but the better camera and added water and dust resistance keep me from doing it. the note 4 is supposed to offer water and dust resistance, a better screen, and a better camera. (among other great things like more ram than the s5 and a better processor)
i miss stable asop roms, the s-pen, and the size of the screen of the note3. but i hope dev support for the note 4 will be just as strong as the note 3 and s5 has been.
I think I will buy. But will wait some time to see if there be any bugs. I'll let people to test it for me )). And then i'll decide what to do. But I agree that Note line is true flagship phone.
Yep, just got the S5 as a temporary phone, sold my Note 2 and will go for the Note 4 as soon it's released, actually, the Battery of my 2 year old Note 2 lasted longer then the S5 (8+ hours actual screen on time) and I really miss the bigger display. So yes I will go for the Note4 for sure
S5 is Really bad for aosp, i think never buy Samsung anymore.
Most def getting the note 4!!
