3 gigs of RAM?
I was thinking of keeping the Note 2 for a while but this is a game changer.
If it really has 3 gigs of ram, and the screen is larger without making the body much larger, especially making too much wider (I had some trouble with the original note...) I think I'll buy it Maybe... haha. I love my note 2 soooo much!
I'll watch the size first. But i bet no FM radio too.

If the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will have an octa-core processor, I will have no doubt of buying it. :highfive:
Yo!!!! Am definitely upgrading to note 3!!
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
nope.
they are just assumptions.
note 3 will probably come out in september and there are 3 full months, samsung can change anything in that time.
the current assumptions are as follows-
5.99" screen probably 2xxx by 1xxx resolution
13mp camera
octa-core @ 2ghz or snap dragon 800 and @ 2+ ghz
3 gigs of ram.
that's all that has been most rumoured yet
What about the battery ? 4000mah?
Im hoping for snapdragon 800 @2.3ghz

Don't know mate, but to me it's not a huge upgrade! I mean if you look back, Note to Note 2 had 100% upgrade, so in that sense Note 3 should have 4 GB RAM.
Anyway, I'm quite happy with 2 GB so far, haven't seen any apps get closed or anything, yet.

I really hope it does come with the snap dragon 800
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
The most interesting rumor I read was that of a 3x optical zoom on the camera. Don't forget, the note 2 was supposed to have a 13 mp camera originally but they couldn't get a good enough supply so stepped it down to match the s2's camera.
3 GB RAM is nice - but not particularly important for me. But what really intrigues me is the battery - hope they pack 4000mah battery now, that'd make me seriously tempted And since it's FHD it's likely to be pentile.
What really worries me though, is the thinner bezels making the OLED more prone to cracking - I mean I never thought anyone would report S4 having cracked OLEDs by just keeping it in pockets - having gorilla glass and all that. I really suspect this is due to thinner bezels.
5.99 is a real mistake. ...i am glad because that way i wont spend money
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2
I skipped s4 because I already have monster note 2 in my hands. I am very ery happy with it, now I am very much excited for note 3. I really believe that Samsung will bring their A+ device for note 3.

The super pls screen is actually a beautiful screen. Best out right now imho. But the 8.9 using the same screen will increase ppi making the screen look even more crisp. Can't wait for the next generation of tabs

The store manager sold it to me. He said that they opened it to look at it then returned it to the box. I didn't see any more on display or in the cage.
Considering how imminent the next generation tabs will appear, I see little to no point to buy this. It's just a waste of money to get a Tegra 2 based tab at this moment.
Does 20 more ppi really make much of a difference...?

Not true. Higher DPI forces your eye muscles to contract more tightly to focus on the smaller text. This causes greater eye strain for any age. We have evolved not to look at such small concentrated areas which is why humans get eye strain to being with.
Other than going blind for using it (are you kidding me- should I call you Dr. 5th) I hope you enjoy your tab mate. When the 10.1 and 8.9 were introduced I wanted the 8.9 but did not have the patience to wait. Good luck to ya.

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.

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.

Things I like on the Note II

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!!!

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...

I went to the store and compared my note 1 to a note 2 - nothing great about the note 2 at all. Really no more real estate just slightly taller - so worthless to me - than even lesser resolution. So I will wait. Glad they announced this because bigger really does help me - as a prof / researcher / grad chair on a multi campus university - I can do so much with the Note. A little bigger is even better. Best thing about announcing the Note 3 - vaporware or not - is I do not have to keep thinking about getting the Note 2. I have a reason to be happy with my Note 1 and wait. Peace of mine.
for me it really depends.
if it's nearly as large as the nexus 7, then no. I won't buy it. if it's only a little larger than the current note 1/2 and the bezel is tiny. then I might consider it.

If rumours are correct, and the screen size is the very slightest bit smaller, would you sell your note 3 for a Galaxy s5.
The reason I ask this is because on my other thread for kit Kat btu being delayed and us being shafted, would the s5 get the latest next update?
And if the screen is brighter, and better looking, and 4k video recording etc etc, would you sacrifice a slightly smaller screen for the s5 if it turns out better? Or do we stick with the note 3 for great battery life?

P.S: If S5 comes with QHD resolution, 400+ dpi, at least 5.3 inch display, 3gb of ram, a GREAT OIS on camera, better sound quality and 60fps 4k record. It will be nice, if i have the money i totally change it.

No, I'd be much more likely to wait for the Note 4, and if rumors are true, the recent Google talks toward a less modified UI would be a great thing. By then, we are likely to have even better camera optics. I'll wait and be happy with what I've got.
Can't see going to a smaller screen.
I will not be downgrading to a s5 - lol
There is a reason why Note phones come out with iphones in the fall, and the note4 will b better than s5.
Also, I just got my N3, just rooted it, and haven't even scratched the surface yet as far as what it can do, only a fool would give it up this early.
(the s5 is for the s3 owners what want to use their eligible upgrade).
well Not really
surely it will have better specs but it will be small for me
also the new update or new TouchWiz will be ported by our great devs anyway so let's wait for note 4

Besides, the S4 hasn't had any love from Samsung... The note 3 has had KK released to most of Europe but only Russia has had it for the S4.
Note all the way
IMO i would wait for some time after s5 is released for the Note 4. Might be the same specs, just better, also with Spen.
No way, S5 not for me.
- smaller screen
- less battery life
- no s pen
- will it have 3gb ram? with all the samsung bloat, we need as much ram as we can get
It doesn't matter to me if the S5 will have a better design, most of us put some kind of protection over our expensive devices so you never see the design anyway.
I'll wait for the Note 4 in September which will have all the features of the S5 but with.
5.9" QHD screen
64bit Snapdragon 810
4GB of ram
Plus a updated version of the new Touchwiz, but with less bloat hopefully
Android 4.5 or 5.0 64bit version
Let put it this way the Note 4 will be a beast of a phone, making the S5 look very underpowered.
No S pen, thank you very much... Still I will be following the whole event on 24 to see what Samsung will put.
