Good lord, that is pushing it. But, my weak-minded self will buy it day one for a disgustingly inflated price :laugh:

I could see this being accepted, as long as the dimensions of the phone don't increase. I would like to see a titanium bezel to create an edge to edge display.

I agree, the size would be fine with an edge to edge display. I was figuring the next step for 'phablets' would be 6 inches or so. I think I can handle that size to carry around with me, considering (for me) my Nexus 7 is a tad to big to carry with me.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

if the dimension of the phone remains the same with just the screen getting bigger, i'll defintely buy it. but if it gets bigger, idts

Fake...well I would say more just some 'inside speculation'...time will tell if there will be a 6.3 N3 or a note 6.3, but I am pretty sure there will be a N3 and it will be bigger and better.... But for now I am VERY pleased with my N2...:good:

Original note1 is 5.78" x 3.27" with 5.3" inch screen+ bezel (take of the bezel and u have 6.64'' diagonal.)
note 2 is longer 5.95'' x 3.17'' with 5.5'' inch screen + bezel (take of the bezel and u have even bigger diagonal of 6.74 '')
loads of room for bigger screen in both of them.

Without bezel you will just accidentally touch your screen when you dont want it. Thats for sure, there has to be some bezel.
For me bigger phone will be really way to much. GN2 just barely made it, any bigger and you wont be able to reach corners of screen with one hand.

Looks like from more leaks yesterday...8 core with a 6.3 inch screen is coming. I think 6.3 will work if the size of the phone itself can stay close to the N2. Though that is getting VERY close to a tablet size. I can't see them making 'phablets' much bigger or why even make 7 inch tablets?

Too big to be used comfortably, if this turn out to be true with the Note 3, I will look for alternative mobiles with 5.5 inch screen, I am definitely not buying such a thing.

Everyone says they'll buy it now.... wait till its out no one will buy it. Its not logical to have a phone thats 6.3 inches impossible to carry around. Hell people were whining about the size of the note 2. Unless the size of the screen is right the note 3 wont sell a lot, 8 cores or 12 the PHONE is too big to use. Well thats just my opinion
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Whats interesting is that if you measure diagonally the current note 2 from bezel corner to bezel corner its pretty close to 6.3 inches. So maybe theyll leave the size the same. Eliminate the bezel a lot. Add capacitative buttons. Voila . 6.3 screen mimimal bezel and still has buttons somewhere on screen

With a 6.3 inch screen it's a tablet ... 5.5 inch is already too much for some ppl I know...

i used the galaxy tab 7.7 as a phone(yeah, i heard the calls with it up to my face) so 6.3 is more than welcome only if it has a 1080p screen

New SG4 and Note 3 will have screen along side and also foldable screens.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

It will have 1080p screen and by my calculations you WILL be able to fit a 6.2 inch screen with a 2mm bezel on each side so that the Note3 stays as wide as the current one

Well it looks like that 'bigger real estate', concerning screen size, is coming...some love the idea, some hate it. The 'phablet' size is going to increase and Samsung seems to be taking the 7 inch tablet to 8....

Suggestion to Samsung regarding screen size.

I just wanted to say that I dislike the trend of manufacturers making bigger displays. First jump was to 4.3" , then 4.5" and now we see a new HTC with 4.7".
In my opinion. Screen sizes above 4" becomes unpractical.
I love my Samsung Galaxy S. And the 4" is a reasonable size (since its light and slim).
I just want to encourage Samsung not to follow this stupid trend and hope that their future versions (sgs3?) will go back to 4" or even maybe smaller.
I almost agree, I think the sgs2 is just about as big a screen as I would like to see, any larger is impractical. If we wanted a NotePad, we'd buy one

Well technically the Samsung Galaxy Note is known to have 5.3 inches screensize so I guess they already went on the war to make the hybrid between 7 inch tablet and the smartphones.

I won't be buying a tablet, so I'd consider the Samsung Note. yes it's big, but some people carry a tablet and a phone anyway and this is a lot more compact than that option.
Anyway no one has to buy anything they don't like; Samsung is still making phones in different sizes.
Personally although I like 4" when used as a phone, I find it too small for browsing, gps and games. In this regard the note is a nice size. If I don't get a note, I'd be happy up to 4.5" for phone along with big bump in resolution.
They don't make it as 4.3"-4.5" unless most people like them, so as long as they make sgs3 as 4.3" or bigger if they see it sell best then that is their good decision.
You can wait your smaller screen for other phone than samsung galaxy s!

Once ics comes out the soft keys will be gone, so it will just fill in. So generally same size but less bezel and wasted space.
Think Tony Starks phone as eventual endpoint. Probably not see through though.

I just wish I will have enough money saved around April, May 2012 (my contract ends then) to get the Galaxy Note which in my opinion is a marvel, the only problem would be finding a leather pocket type case for it but for my usual use of mostly browsing and chatting and some video watching along with casual gaming it will be quite nice at 5.3" yet for phone calls I think I will have to get a BT headset to feel comfortable.
I absolutely LOVE this trend, That's long been one of my biggest wishes regarding smartphones!
I even tried to replace my then smartphone with the Galaxy Tab but it didn't fit the fanny pack that I *always* use. A 5.5"/6" smartphone would be ideal for me and I will definitely change my Galaxy S for the Galaxy Note as soon as it's out and off its peak launch price!
I think we'll see 4.5" in a similar size as the SGS with a much smaller bezel in the near future. I've seen R&D on more digitizers that will reduce the need for space on the one side (right now top or bottom has the digitizer support stick out 1/4" or so from the screen).
I agree 5" could even work with a headset, I use the wired one that came with my SGS it's fine. It wouldn't be for everybody but my pocket could hold a 5" device with a small bezel (and preferably a rounded back) just fine.
No **** jokes yet? I am impressed.
I prefer the screen size of the S II. A lot of times the screen of galaxy S just feels a little too small.

I hope that they make a 4" and the 5.3". Between the two, the person should be able to choose. And hopefully the hardware is the same that you don't lose out by buying the screen. You can charge extra for the extra screen space but don't cheap out on the processor etc.
well for me ill stay till the new phone tht has rumored news of 4.5'' ,2ghz quadcore,very slim.i started wiv nokia the brick phone wiv antenna an tht was some dream phone those times everyone likd it tht way(no hightek)but i an all moved we never stickd to one piece atleast in my case..so its all abt style an future..may b soon wll use some holograph chip instead of touch phones
Agree with op, ideally I'd like a sgsIII which is same size as orig sgs, but with a screen the full size of phone. Shame it won't happen.......

6" sounds about right, as long as they can minimize dimension increases by using a smaller bezel. In bed at night when reading ebooks or browsing the web, I hold the phone between my thumb and middle finger, pinching from top to bottom (large hands), and can barely do it with the Note, so don't want any larger height. Also, the weight's about at the limit for tiring my fingers over extended reading periods.
I'd be inclined for it to go somewhat smaller at 5"
and also change the res to 1280x720, cutting 10% off the width.
Are you guys crazy? Here's the size of an 5,7". It's looks so much bigger than 5,3! :0

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Huge bezels on that e-reader make a big difference, but on second thought holding my fingers up to my screen making it 6 inches loss pretty big. I think 5.5" is more reasonably possible without increasing outside dimensions too much.
Yeah, ANYTHING bigger than 5'' is too big and will not fit in the pockets, it's pointless.
The BIGGEST size phone I'd buy is 5.5'' as something larger will not fit in my pockets & is therefore useless to me.
I like a device similar to the Note which is a balance between a smart phone & a tablet both in one.
It MUST fit in my pocket. The Note just about fits so people that are happy with a 6'' device will find it difficult fitting it in MOST of their clothes!
I think the Note is physically about as big as you can get before crossing into the Tablet space.
The niche of the Note is pockatable phone tablet.
The line is very narrow.
The Note is probably pushing the limits already. I bet the largest demographic for the Note is men... Because we're comfortable with the size. Most women wont be.

+ 1 It fits in my pocket, but it's tight, and difficult to get out if I'm not standing up. Just a hair smaller would help, but still bigger than the nexus.
I would go 5.5 inches at the most. I am pretty happy with the screen size. I'd love a 5.5 inch version, the same physical size but with smaller Bezels, mated to a quad core CPU, LTE, NFC, and a 4000mah battery. Also, a notification light would rock.

I agree - if it was exact 720p it would be narrower - the LG Nitro HD is only 68 mm wide, barely wider than the Atrix 2.
Anything 70 mm wide or less would be much easier to handle one-handed. The 83 mm width of my Note is quite daunting. I love everything else about it, or I would switch to the Nitro HD. If SG II HD LTE would only come with S-Pen, it would be my dream device ATM.
So screen size of 4.5" to 5", with 1280x720, would be the sweet spot for me!
I am used to the HTC 4.3 phone for about 2 years and switching to Galaxy Note is not problematic for me at all. I love the beautiful screen and the size is also an upgrade and moving toward a small Tablet territory. I like to read and watch video and also surf the net. This size appear quite good for those. I would not mind having a slightly bigger screen up to 6 inches as long as it as thin and remain fairly portable.
This Galaxy Note is so good that it is a mini version of the Tablet. It serves my needs for the time being and remain portable and still function as a phone - 2 very big pluses for this device. I can skip getting a tablet now.
I like big screen & i think this is the biggest it should be for note. If too big, it will be pain in the ass to carry every way..haha..
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

Will there be an 8.9" or 10" version?

To me, 720p is a phone res, and 1280x800 is barely bigger with a 3" bigger screen. I'd be willing to pay $100 more for a bigger res and a slightly bigger screen. Any rumors in the works about thid? All my googling just talks about the 7 since it's huge news now.

Rumors of a 10" version have started to surface as of today.

Nothing more than digitimes rumors. I wouldn't hold off.
Still, I share exactly the same sentiment, so I do hope they end up making one sometime.
10 inches is a bit too big for me. Heck it is verging on laptop screen sizes at that point. 7 inches is nice to hold in the hand but still big enough for comfortable viewing.

I worry A LOT about its size because according to the most recent rumors it will have a 5.7" display while even the previously rumored 5.99" one disappointed me...
I think these rumors will turn out to be accurate seeing how Samsung recently made the S4's display slightly bigger than the SIII's while actually making the device itself "SMALLER".
I really hope they will offer at least 2 display sizes: a 6.3" one like the Mega (which I can't buy because of its too low specs ) and a smaller one which I really don't care what it will be...

A mobile phone should be the largest size possible which fits where I have *always* kept/carried my mobile phones/smartphones. 7" tablets are too big but not by much (a couple of years ago I tried the original Galaxy Tab 7" as soon as it came out but returned it), a Mega 6.3" would be more or less the perfect size for me. Eventually we will get there, I know it.
I have *always* wanted something like the Mega 6.3", even when people gawked at the first 4" smartphones or, later on, were saying that 4.3"/4.5" were "just too much"...
I think the market will coalesce around a couple of "standard" sizes: 5" and 6.5" (of course with small bezels, light, thin etc)

5.5 IMO is a bit too big to do certain one handed operatins, and anything larger then that would just be over kill.

I am not interested in one handed operation in the slightest. I have always found "irritating" trying to operate touch screen mobile devices one handed, even when smartphones had less than 4" displays.
Large displays may be "overkill" if you look at it (and use it) as a "mobile phone", I see it (and use it) as a "pocket computer" because, well, it is.

Sent From An Incognegro Galaxy Note 2
7 inch tablet and 6.5 inch phone may have almost the same screen size but ease of handling and using it is not comparable because in most cases phones have very small bezel while tablets have wide one. As stated before if Note 3 has 6 inch screen and is still not much bigger than Note 2 then there is no problem with handling, it would be even easier than Note 2 to use. All that aside, personally I have used 2 hands approach since I got Note 2, the only gripe I have with it is I can't answer phone with one finger without serious stretching... I think it would not be hard to code answering (or not) mechanism that looks like Pie control in shape but from right or left down corner, or even better when phone is ringing and you touch the screen, then from that point sliding left answers the phone, right denies the call (with sliding directions to be configured as you like).
Forgot to mention I have big hands, so this is why it wouldn't be a problem, unlike someone with average sized hands,

Just been holding the Samsung mega 6.3, it's a great size, kind of thinking if the note 3 is not even 6 it will be quite disappointing, when you hold it in your hands and realise the thinness, it's not a big deal at all, I say 6.3 all the way.

I think it would be noticeable if you were moving, say, from 3.5" to 3.7". From 5.5" to 5.7" I'm not so sure it makes much difference. With the Mega 6.3", Samsung proved that the Note 2 bezel can fit a bigger screen without increasing it's size. I believe 5.7" is doable with the current bezel size and 6" with a minor increase in size. Maybe just a couple of millimeters more in width and height.

I had the S3 and the S4, you definitely can notice the difference between the 2 phones in use. It won't be a HUGE difference from 5.5 to 5.7 but it'll be noticeable. Same with the Galaxy S2, I had the I9100 that had a 4.3 inch display and also had the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 which had a 4.5 inch display. You could definitely tell the difference.
I think 5.7 inches would be perfect in order to keep a decent amount of ppi with a 1080P panel. 6+ inches would be too big, in my opinion

Have you gotten used to the size of your ONE?

After almost a year of using my ONE, I don't think I'll be able to go back to phones smaller than a 5.5 inch screen. At first when I got my phone, I found it to be too big for my smallish hands but I got used to it quickly. Now if I were to upgrade to another phone, I think I would consider the size of Samsung Note or even Google Nexus 6 being my ABSOLUTE limit.
How about you? Is 5.5 inches your limit? Are you looking to downsize or get a phone with a bigger screen?

Yea, I was helping someone with their Samsung Galaxy 4 phone and during that whole time I was wishing the screen was bigger .
Android is Always About New Opportunities and I'll always be interested with whatever is to come
I don't think I would want to go bigger than 5.5, it's nice having a big screen but a bit pointless to go to 6", especially for me as I have a 7" tablet. I think anywhere between 5-5.5 is the sweet spot, probably 5.2.
LOL, I know what you mean. Everytime I pickup my GF's S4, I can't believe how small it is. I don't remember it being that small when I was using it. That said, I don't think I'd want to go much bigger than 5.5". Maybe 6", but I'm not sure. That's one of the thinks I love about Android though, there is always someone willing to try something to see how it works in the market so we can push the boundaries and experiment.
Yeah, even My Nexus 4 feels so tiny. I picked up my Nokia E52 from the abyss of my bag and bam, it was microscopic Fascination how technology changes so fast.
Well, i look down at my friends iPhone 4's and ask if it's a toy.
I've got used to it very quickly. After a couple of weeks I've noticed how small my Xperia Z was. Bigger screens are just much better for reading
I love the screen size now. Had a S3 Mini before and it now feels tiny.
Finally i am able to read ebooks properly on my phone!
But i think that the screen size of the Nexus 6 would be my absolute maximum, not bigger than that.
The only thing that i would like to see is some progress in the stock launcher/Google launcher.
As Screens get bigger i think gesturres are even more important. For example Nova/Apex launcher, swipe down on screen and open Notifications.
Why isnt this implemented in stock launcher?
Big screens are addictive, I had an og droid and liked it, then got a galaxy nexus and thought it was the perfect sized screen, then got a droid maxx and thought 5' was actually perfect, now I have a one plus and of course 5.5 is perfect. I see a trend emerging. No freakishly large hands are required. Just about an hour of practice.

I find it to be the perfect size.
I prefer the 5.7" Note 4 but it's definitely not bad

I enjoy the screen size when using the phone, but I still find the phone too big for carrying around. I have my M7 here and, while it would benefit from a slightly bigger screen, it feels so much better in the hand and doesn't take up nearly as much space in the pocket.
I'm enjoying my OPO, but would probably prefer a 5" phone, with minimal bezels, for use on the go and have a 7-8" tablet at home/office.

Or keep the 5.5 screen with smaller top and bottom bezels. That is one of my issues with the phone. It could have been great with those bezels smaller. I still love this phone though.

After almost a year of using my ONE, I don't think I'll be able to go back to phones smaller than a 5.5 inch screen. At first when I got my phone, I found it to be too big for my smallish hands but I got used to it quickly. Now if I were to upgrade to another phone, I think I would consider the size of Samsung Note or even Google Nexus 6 being my ABSOLUTE limit.
How about you? Is 5.5 inches your limit? Are you looking to downsize or get a phone with a bigger screen?

I got used but the next one will be smaller anyway.
