Hi all,
i am looking to buy something new, i recently sold my xperia play and bb playbook, i have had iphones, sgs2 in the past and recently a htc one x but returned it because of build quality issues,
im choosing between either:
g note in white, unlocked with flip case and car dock for £350
or
galaxy s3 on contract which will work out to be just over £600
any advice guys? is the note priced ok? any problems to watch out for? etc..
thanks in advance
My thoughts are: Have you used a G note, its hard to go back to smaller screens, i myself was checking on the htc one x , but it felt so small too. and sg3 have the same sice of screen. As of performance, i hardly ever use even half of the performance in my g note, although i never play games, maybe its there you get use of 4core.
Hell, since i bought my note, i hardly use my laptop =)
You get alot bang for the buck if you ask me.
But, like the rest of us, we all want the newest pieses always =)

Considering all the S3 features that devs are porting over to the Note, as well as all the dev momentum the Note has now, along with the fact that it has a bigger and higher resolution screen than the S3, not to mention the S-Pen, plus the one you're looking at is unlocked and off-contract AND cheaper? Yeah, I think this is a no-brainer. Get the GS3.
Kidding of course! Seriously though, the Note is a beast. Get the Note.
The note has a superior sized screen and most of the GS3 apps etc ported over and working. No brainer springs to mind.

I love my Note. Best feature is its screen. Its great that its so big. But its worst feature is that its screen is so big to hold. Bit of a conpromise.
There are things i can't do with the Note cause its so big. Namely one handed use. The S3 is probably small enough to get my thumb across the screen probably as the biggest phone to allow it. S pen is great sometimes. Web pages with that little extra width is great.
Specs are close enough to ignore. Its all on extra width convenience versus too wide for one hand use. Test the feel and see how you feel. Note versus GS3 plus iPad? ;-)

Urm...easy! The Note is 250 quid cheaper and a great phone if the size suits.
I would definitely say the note!! But isn't asking this question in the Gnote section already answering the question?
No offence.... but asking between the note and an S3 on a note forum is a little silly... clear bias....
In fairness though, I've played with the S3 a bit and I'm not a fan... the phone feels quite cheap material wise and the new touchwhiz still doesn't please me. The screen although lower resolution is slightly better in some areas which is nice... since there aren't many real quad core streamlined applications currently I think its a bit early in the fight to really rule out its power... that being said, for normal day to day use you won't notice any real difference.... I doubt quad core will pay dividends until Jelly Bean....
In the end, the community for the S3 will be fantastic and support will outlive the Note on its name alone...
Personally I'm going to stick with the Note. I prefer the larger screen and the hardware is still up there with the better handsets... the community ROMs are flying and the development community as a whole is fantastically supportive.
I guess the questions you should be asking yourself are:
- Do you want/need a bigger screen?
- Are you willing to wait 6 months to a year for the extra performance to really bare fruit?

I think u should choose note rather than sg3. Note is more big. So u may watch movie on it. In addition.. The note price is more cheap. I also hardly to use my laptop after i buy my note. A developer also porting a sg3 apk on note. Note also is a tablet. Did u see the advertisement? note is the best.

Gnote if you want a larger screen and s3 if you want quad core.
Both are great phones so you can't go wrong.
Else wait 6 months or so for the quad core note 2

so far google has already mentioned that the ICS browser can support quad core. plus, nvidia has been pushing devs to improve support for quad core in their games, and you can leech off that support with chainfire3d.
and also, s3 is running on 32nm tech whereas we're stuck on 45nm tech. even if you dont use the extra processing power of quad core, we still cant compare with the fact that the s3 can shut down inactive cores, and will use less power and produce less heat for the same tasks as a result of the smaller manufacturing process.
so if he uses browsers and plays high quality games, he can take advantage of the processing power now. and if he doesnt, he can take advantage of the improved battery life. dont need to wait 6 months for that.

galaxy s3 has 4.8inch screen with 16:9 ratio. so its more or less the same size as our screen except not as wide (or tall if you're looking at it widescreen). movies are generally encoded at 16:9 or 2.35:1. ie. its going to look more or less the same on either screen since 16:9 movies will have black bars on our notes and 2.35:1 movies will have black bars on both devices.
Ill be honest and realistic here.
If you are a "normal" user and like to mess around with your device a bit, and want the fastest, most powerful device for average use, like games here and there, phone calls, sms, etc, get the S3.
If you "love" to mess around with your device(like me) want the biggest and most badass screen, big battery "device" not only phone, get the note. For me, my note is my personal game system, communication device, a mini laptop if you may, that also happens to make calls and texts, and its the perfect device for me.
Hi all, I was all set on getting the Nexus 4 to replace my Gnex but in a way I was a tad disappointed. I wanted a better camera, more battery life and storage, however, the camera seems only a little better, the battery life is similar and the storage is the same.
I had my trigger finger over the buy button but I could not buy one.
I also have a Nexus 7 but really I didn't use it to its potential.
So I'm buying a Note 2, and a 64 Gb SD Card.
OK its not Vanilla Android, which I love, but I assume you'll be able to use a ROM or theme to make TW on here look like the Vanilla Android system?
Anyway, it ticks a lot of boxes. Big enough to use as a casual tablet device, anywhere and everywhere. Excellent battery life, the same camera as SGS3 (which is reportedly better than N4), excellent DAC for music listening, great, and huge screen.
Is there anyone else who has consolidated their devices this way, and are you enjoying your Notes?
My brother did, he sold his Galaxy S3 and Nexus 7 and is loving the Galaxy Note 2.
I sold my HTC One X and bought the device for an extra cash. It's worth every penny, the battery life is top notch, I never worry about my battery life throughout the day!
We both also bought the 64GB Micro SD Card from Sandisk and using the internal2sdcard mod in the application forum. So technically my phone is a 64gb with 12gb sd card haha!
Sold my GNEX and Nexus 7 and got the Note II (international). It's a great convergence device.
I plan on replacing both my DX2 and my Xoom with the Note 2. I don't really use the tablet much as it is, so I'm selling it to offset the cost of the 64gb card and an SGP Valentinus case.
I have a GS3 and a Nexus7, but wanted to have an 'all in one device'. Some like to have both, I personally like to have just one device that can do it all..the Note 2 I purchased does the trick for me...LOVE IT...:good:
I sold my htc sensation xe & note 1 in order to get note 2..never regret..i always do research & make sure the device im going to get is far better than the one i own.. i also not really do like to keep a smartphone as a collection since smartphone is an electronic item & electronic item life span is short especially when u keep it not using it for a long time can cause damage..learn from experience

Looks like I wont regret doing the swap.
Some times I think I might miss vanilla android, but I suppose like my old S2 there will be themes to make it look better (whether baked into a ROM or otherwise)?
I came from the HOX and SGT 8.9 to the Note 2. I'm happy(ish) with the Note but it's size is something I'm happy with at home but wish it was slightly smaller when I'm out and about.
Personally I think the HTC DNA might be the perfect device but then there's the non-removable battery...for all these devices improve, there's still not a perfect one out there.
For now, I've made my choice; I'm fed up with the expense of changing phones so I'm gonna keep this one for a while. At least until next year.
Oh, and the stylus. That's just weird.

The Note 2 has what the DNA doesn't, except the smaller size. But, it's so lovable that most people will probably get used to the size.
The stylus is one of the major features of this phone. It strengthens the tablet part about phone and tablet. I use the stylus in almost every chance I get haha ~
I had a Galaxy Nexus and a Xoom 10" Wi-Fi.
I sold the Galaxy Nexus to buy my Note 2.
I've not used my Xoom since. I considered selling it, but i won't get enough money for it to be worth it, so i'm keeping it to use on plane journeys.
Gave my Nexus 7 to the wife and my Galaxy Nexus to my daughter. My GN2 replaced those 2 devices perfectly.

Got my new device last night.
Utterly over the moon so far. Unbelievably fast, ridiculously big and colourful screen, and just an all round great device. Heck, even the Samsung keyboard seems up there with Swiftkey my previous favourite keyboard (it seems uncanny at guessing what I'm going to write next).
Only downside is TouchWiz is, in places, still a little aesthetically challenged, but I'll change that with some of the themes posted on these very forums to make it look a little more "Vanilla" like.
I like my Note II and 13" MBA combo so much that my iPad gets little use, so I sold it last week.:good:
I got 30 days with my note2 and i got some decisions to make. Anyone else using the Note2 thinking of getting the Nexus4?

I'm in the same boat. I only have 14 days to make my decision though. I really like the note 2, but I like the idea of not being on contract with T-Mobile hence my conundrum with Nexus 4. What are your thoughts?

I think the note's size is a little much but if moving to the Nexus4 would mean going backwards as far as performance I wouldnt be happy with that either. I may just end up getting the Nexus4 on top lol.
I don't ownt he Note 2 or plan to buy one. Ever. But if I bought one, it would have been because I wanted a screen that size so I wouldn't trade it for the Nexus 4.
I don't think so...
I have AT&T Note ii and I have Nexus 4 16GB on the way. But I am buying Nexus 4 just to see how it is and then give it to my dad in India. There are multiple reasons for sticking with Note ii.
1) Removable MicroSD slot
2) Awesome Battery Life and Removable Battery
3) LTE Speeds (I use team viewer a lot to help my family and friends with their PCs and I am youtube junkie. Also s-pen helps a lot with team viewer and gotomypc apps.)
4) Every custom UI has its drawbacks and its positives. I feel like TouchWiz has improved a lottt and it has amazing new features which I use a lot on Note ii, like smart stay,smart rotation, smart alert, direct call, turn over to mute, palm swipe to capture screen shot and many more...
5) S-Pen is just amazing feature. I love to note down things immediately and also taking notes in the meeting. I love playing draw something too. :silly:
6) Big size and screen is negative for someone, but for me, I just love the big screen. It can be cumbersome to use it with one hand sometimes, but rest of the times while watching youtube videos and pictures and browsing, the experience is just stellar.
I have nexus 7 and I gotta tell you, for my own test, stock android doesn't cut it. I have to do many extra things to customize it. Though, it is just my opinion. Plenty of people love the stock android.
I dont know why people keep comparing them, ones a tablet that makes calls and ones a phone
I sold off my Note 2 to get the Nexus 4.
The size of the Note didn't bother me too much, I was still able to carry/bring it everywhere like a regular phone. The problems I had with it mostly laid with Touchwiz. I've only owned Nexus devices, I've had every single one of them (even if I only kept the Gnex for 6 months. **** verizon). I just really didn't like the looks of it, it's not visually appealing at all. Then we get to the s-pen. It certainly is a cool feature, but I'm no artist, I rarely need to edit spreadsheets on a mobile device. So it was mostly going unused for me. Plus the cost, I would rather pay half the price of the Note to have a device thats still quite high end. The $710 pricetag of the Note (with tax) really put a dent in my fun moneys.
My overall experience with the Note just solidified that I'll likely never own a Samsung cell phone, unless they make another Nexus.

If the note was unlocked I would keep it over the nex 4 any day... The nex 4 seems awesome but a note 2 is an amassing device.. Of I could get an unlocked one for around the same price I would love to get one..
Just curious, how much did you sell the note for and was it unlocked?

Note II to a Nexus 4 would be a huge downgrade.
Problem with touchwiz? Unlock and install vanilla android on it and problem solved.
I could never give up my Note II the screen size is amazing, camera is amazing and there hasn't been any major issues that I have heard. I think the Nexus as amazing as it is isn't quite at the same level as the Note.

Can you actually do that?! If so, please point at the thread!!!
I wouldn't. The quality of Note 2 is significantly better, components used are better, internal design is better and what you get with Nexus 4 is a slightly faster CPU (which is slower after it throttles down) and official vanilla Android. I mean, it's a great phone for its price that I'm considering getting but it's not as good as the Note 2 overall. If you don't care about timely updates to official Android for the next 2 years or so as much as about hardware quality I'd keep the Note 2.
i have both. the nexus 4 is a solid phone but doesnt compare with the note 2. the note 2 is quicker ( regardless of benchmarks), samsung have done a top job with this version of touchwiz & the screen quality seems more vivid plus the additional size makes everything a pleasure:good:
Not really amused by the Nexus 4, I want a Note 2 now.
I have n4 would rather had note II but didnt have note II money. Nexus is fast. Its one the the best phones out and great price.
I don't want a phablet, I was happy to give up using a stylus once capacitive screens came out and there is no way in hell I'd pay $600 for an android device. N4 is an easy choice and if I already had the Note II I'd sell it, buy a N4 and have $300 ready for next year when the N5 comes out.
600 dollars for a big piece of touchwiz plastic. No thank you. N4 is good for me and then some.
Already have..... I took it back after using it for 10 days, got me 2 nexus and $89 back.
I've been using my Nexus for a day already and I don't miss the note.

Hello,
I know what your thinking we have exhausted this conversation so why go over old grounds. However its been almost a week since the nexus 10 has been released so i want to know if opinions have changed.
I have read a lot about the Nexus 10 including things about how good the screen quality is but at the same time people have also complained about the battery issue, light leakage, no micro sd card etc. So my question is........is the nexus 10 still better than the Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 especially with these issues.
I have played around with the Note and I can't see any issues with quality of screen and I think the user interface looks much better, more exciting, more user friendly than the nexus 10 . Which in my view looks a little dull based on the videos i have seen (its lacking character) Do nexus users agree?
Is there a lot of difference in the quality of screen when the screen is only a 10.1 and would having more pixel only matter if the screen was bigger.
I am still undecided between the two and currently my mind is saying Nexus but my heart is saying Samsung note. If I go with my heart, part of me is saying I may regret it.
Can someone who now actually owns a Nexus 10 please help with my dilemma.
On paper the Nexus 10 should be a gazillion times better so I would try and get a perfect nexus 10 or wait until Samsung uses that display and A15 on their own tablet, which can't be that far off.
Samsung might use their AMOLED panel instead though so it might be quite different from the Nexus 10's screen.
Im having both at the moment (will return the Note soon tho). The built quality of the nexus is faaaarrrrrr superior than the Note (yes, it's that far). The Nexus feels really really good in hands, very sturdy like you know it's an expensive device once you see it in person. The Note, on the other hand, looks very cheap thanks to its plastic body (I almost feel ashamed holding it in my class haha). However, the Note doesn't have light bleed while my Nexus does (well, I requested a replacement already). and if you don't know, the Note have 7000 mAh battery while the Nexus is 9000 mAh. SO if you are Ok with the Note's battery, you will be pleased with the nexus's (from my personal experience, the Note's battery is very average).
Also, Sorry to say, Touchwiz sucks. Im not sure while you prefer it to pure android. It laaaagggss. The Note is a powerful device but its software needs more work.
For summary, no the Note is not any bettery. actually it's worse in every aspects except the Spen and expandable storage.
Here's a quick test you can do. Go to your nearest electronics retailer and look at iPads with Retina, then go look at the Note 10.1 (and an iPad 2 if you can find one).
While you're at it, play with an HTC One X or LG Optimus G, then go look at a HTC Sensation or Galaxy S2 or just about any other 2011 phone.
Obviously, I'm asking you to contrast the resolution differences between those units above. I think just a few minutes doing that should convince you why the Note 10.1 falls short of the N10 in quite a few areas. What has been seen can't be unseen, really, and the leap from 1280x800 to 2560x1600 is huge.
While you're out there comparing, also look at the Android version number on the Note 10.1...and realize that you'll be looking at that same version number for quite some time. Samsung does not support tablet updates at anywhere near the speed they do for the phone lineup. My Tab 8.9 was a great tablet this time last year, but it's still running last year's OS too. It won't see official 4.1/4.2, let alone the next version. That's typical Samsung tablet updates.
The only reason I'd recommend the Note over the N10 is if you really need the S-Pen, and can't live without removable storage.
Two months ago, I would have recommended the Note over any other Android tablet, so it's not that I dislike it. It's just that Samsung is making something much better now, AND it's being directly supported by Google.
I have only used dumb-phones until now and plan to get a smartphone.
I did a little surfing and found Adreno 320 is better than Mali 400 GPU and Qualcomm Snapdragons are better than Samsung Exynos, right?
But in real world they say Note 2 is considered better phone than Nexus 4. I don't understand this.
Different phones top in different benchmarks, and still some things like display quality are not considered in benchmarks i guess, right?
Now I haven't used any smartphone before, and the I would be using it for gaming or watching videos/movies only most of the time as I'm a student.
Which of these phones that I mentioned (all in 23-29,000 INR range) are better than others in reality?
Those who have used these phones or are techsavy might be able to guide me in making the right choice
Just found S3 in India has different specs than in US, Canada etc.
India: 1.4 Ghz Quad-core Exynos 4412,Mali-400,1GB
US: 1.5 Ghz Dual-core Snapdragon, Adreno 225,2GB
It really depends on your priorities.
You should take by consideration the battery capacity, camera, and other features.
Nexus 4 is not a champion in the last two, its camera relatively sucks, and the battery is not very impressive (for me it's pretty good actually). One of the main advantages of the Nexus 4 is the fast updates compared to other phones. Anything with quad-cores and 2 GB of RAM is more than enough.
HTC One X on the other hand is getting old, even though it has a great look, and a polished UI (Sense 5), and amazing sound (comes with beats audio, and believe me it does make a difference!)
GS3 is a champion, but is getting old too, and soon will run out of updates. Good camera though, and pretty fast.
Note 2 is full-featured, not really a phone though, pretty huge for a one, packs lots of great assets from S-Pen to better camera (than N4). I'd suggest you try it.
Xperia ZL is not a flagship like the others, but has a good look, and great specs. Don't expect fast updates from Sony though.
Note that all those phones are relatively recent, so you won't notice any big differences in the daily performance. And don't forget that you'll eventually buy a cover for your phone, so the size/design won't actually matter.
My advice? Go for the cheapest! you'll end up bricking it anyway if you stick around xda

This made me chuckle.. In all honesty I'd go for a nexus 4 there's not a reason not to go for it
think about it.. S3 is getting old and thus will stop being supported by newer android updates.. The note 2s downside is the size many people hate the size and its uncomfortable in the pocket put a case on it and its not only big but its bulky.
Sony has never had great support by android and usually gets left behind quite early after release... The nexus 4 shatters the s3 I had a s3 and its not on the level of the n4 and its obvious when using it.. Id say ur only choice is nexus 4 or note 2 between the phones listed.. IMO nexus 4 is one of the best phones out even right now.. Do some more research and you'll find your own choice :good:
Forgot about the HTC Onex.. HTC is a great manufacturer and makes top quality devices but it also doesn't compare with nexus 4.. My T-Mobile s2 was neck and neck with the htc Onex

forget one X. totally outdated, even xperia ZL others are way better in that range.
1st you have to decide what size you are comfortable with.
Phablet size - Note 2, G pro
Phone size - N4, S3(23k) - higher range, N5 (30k)
If you choose any of above you wont be making bad decision. All are good performer in real life with couple of adv and dis adv with all.
so 1st go to some store and actually hold and decide size phablet or phone later we can discuss choice among those
I love my nexus 4, faster than anything, google support, i bought this phone in nov 2013, quite expensive from flipkart at 24500 INR, but still satisfied, s3 looks like grand and all cheap models of samsung, samsung actually sucks with its touchwiz laggy utility, note 2 is so big, its actually not a phone it is a tab, nexus 4 is comparatively small in size yet powerful, looks great with a bumper cover, i have a white one, after a lot of research i bought this phone and its great
