Will you get the new Note or stay with the first?

I personally will stay with my current,because i still feel its quite fast and good enough for a year of its lifespan

for all the presumed specs till now, i don't see any reason to change either

I will invest my money on Note 10.1 instead of upgrading to Note 2.

if the note does not get full jellybean project butter by the end of the year, I will unfortunately part with it.
I'm thinking of a galaxy nexus for now but I'm reluctant because of the lack of SD support. We shall see. But I need project butter. Badly...lol.
Once I have it I be happy to keep my note. I wish I had never seen or heard of project butter sometimes.

first I need to get the money, then I wouldnt mind getting the note2,
but considering thats not likely to happen I will stay with gorgeous note1

Well since the news started about the note 2 amazon warehouse uk has had them second hand for £265! So i picked up my first!

If I can get the Note 2 at a relatively good price / Monthly premium I will consider it, I can then pass my Note 1 on to my misses (its less than 6 months old)
Either way Im not fussed, Im perfectly happy with my Note 1 - I must admit its the best phone ive ever had, Maybe not as powerful, but ive never loved a phone as much as i do with my Note

I will buy Note 2 only if the camera is 12mpx.My Note speed now is great,wont be any difference between 2 or 4 core. The screen will be almost the same imo, so if the camera is still 8mpx its not worth it to buy Note 2

If I wanted to get the Note 2, that means I would have to sell my Note for around £400 or even less, I paid over £600 for my Note. Now, the Note 2 will likely cost around £650 when it is first introduced, if I wait for the price to drop then the Note price will drop too unless I sell it earlier.
Personally, I don't wish to pay for something with a slightly bigger screen size and a very slightly better specification that the Galaxy S3. I never use my Note at full processor capacity, so I don't see the point. Unless the Note 2 has soemthing revolutionary then I might give it thought.

Probably will.
Bigger screen, smaller body. Why not.

I will get it if the screen is bit bigger and also with more added features like the s3

I'm even considering buying a tab 7.0 plus for screen size.. Only thing that stops me it's it has no phone calls speaker so everyone will ear my conversations but yeah I'd get anything with a bigger screen.. In fact I don't know why they don't cross the real boundary of phone and get more into the fields of tablets and come with a 6.3" screen... I think every Note user will feel the call and inevitably get note 2

So you mean we miss you here.

if they issue the note 2 without emmc bug i will probably get, if they dont i wont

Note II is not an upgrade when they are not using the a15 architecture. Also they are still using the Mali 400 gpu correct ? How are you guys seeing the Note II as worthy of an upgrade?

:good:
I feel exactly the same.
And I do have tried for 3 days a 7" tab (the original Galaxy Tab) but it was just a tad too big to fit the places where I usually carry my smartphone. I reckon would it have been 6.5" it would have fit, a real pity.

No such problem anymore! I don't remember if it is the Galaxy Tab 2 7" or the Galaxy Tab 7.7 or even both but they have both a loudspeaker and a regular speaker with the latter and the microphone placed where they normally are in a phone! :victory:
P.S. the G.Tab 7.7 is so gorgeous that from time to time I am tempted to get a bigger bumpack and to give up on carrying my smartphone in my jeans back pocket and jacket pocket like I do sometimes...

Will certainly go for Note 2 if:
1. 2G RAM
2. NFC
3. Better build which can differentiate itself from Note 1
4. LED backlit (preferred but not mandatory)
i dont have a thing for Project Butter because my current GL NoteCore + Kingdroid > whatever butter out there

Any Note users rather wait to see Note 3

Looks good but Personally I would wait to see the Note 3 before spending the bundle they will want for this device out the gate. Then if the Note 3 disappoints, the S4 will be less expensive and development will be in full swing. Then again the Note 3 will have any glitches corrected as well. and possibly the flexible screen

It looks good, but not good enough to remove me from my note 2. I dont see myself using any of the features they advertised. In a way I'm glad because my wallet has been spared, at least till the note 3 comes out.

I would rather wait for the Note 3 also. By then hopefully we will get the pholed screen and better processor

yh that is my biggest fear regarding the note 3. I simply cannot have the phone any bigger than the note 2

The note 2 has got me spoiled when it comes to screen size.
i wouldnt want to loose .5 on a screen.
I'd rather wait for the note 3. and i wouldnt mind it being a little bigger, as long as its pocketable lol

yes i have the GT-N7000 and i saw the note 2 and its amazing ,, but the release of the s4 yesterday its like ummm;.. its amazing yes but i thing the galaxy note 3 will have alot more features than this ,, i read it could have more powerful CPU than the s4 with 3 GB RAM and a new S-Pen and android key lime pie 5
so yeah here is features ,, im waiting for it
unless i get a note 2 as a gift lol

It's kind of surprising how many people that bought the Note(s) don't use S Pen and S Note. I guess they bought it for the larger/better display. For those that use S Pen/S Note heavilly (I'm one of them) giving them up for the SGS4 just because it's "shinier" is a non-starter. The N3 should be out by the fall and have even more features than the SGS4 and SGS4 owners can help Samsung troubleshoot some of the new features being introduced. Hopefully some of the non-h/w dependent features of the SGS4 will trickle down to the N2 in the meantime. I'd love to have S Voice Drive.

Note 3 over galaxy s4
i have a upgrade comming so ill try the s4..... but doubt it will trump my note2 !

Definitely N3
I had a galaxy S2 and when the s3 came out I chose the Note 1. I do not regret this and having seen the S4, which I think is quite a good phone, I will definitely wait. Because I will get all the benefits of he tech that went into S4 with a bigger screen and S-pen (both of which I love tremendously). I am actually quite excited about N3, especially as I will be going from N1. I am really surprised that no one is challenging Samsung with a Stylus phablet.

When the note 2 came out. It had a lot more features than the s3. Now the s4 is out does it means that note 3 will be a lot better phone? I have the s3. Which i had the note 2

Tried walking around with the note 2 in my pocket.. I am way too skinny, felt like a football pad haha. It is pretty, if i was a bigger dude, I would get one.

If S4 battery, screen are much better than Note 2, I will buy it at the first day. If not I will wait for Note 3.

Flexible screen won't come in a million years.
I'm in favour of the Note 2 design. If they bring that disgusting carbon-fiber-ish design on Note 3, it's a deal breaker.

I had a Galaxy S3, as did my wife. We both have note 2's now (didn't loose money on the switch here so its all good) I really like my note 2 but sadly I don't seem to use the S-Pen and related features as much and neither does she. I guess we've been around android phones that never had those features to fully get used to it. I might be getting the S4 for her and getting rid of her Note 2 as at times I heard her say that she likes the S3 better. I think size does play a role here.
As for myself, unless I find better use of its features I will either switch to the S4 (also depends on development), or wait and see what phones come out. Either way, I'm planning on keeping one of the Note 2's around just incase i want to switch back.

Here I am. the Galaxy S4 just like a mini Note2. Eeeee I donnot feel like changing for it as Note 3 may be better

Note 2 to S4 or no...??

I have the opportunity to upgrade to the S4 and preorder on Verizon tomorrow. Not sure if I should. I know the Note 3 will be out in 8 months or so and have the 8 core processor and be the new flagship phone. I kinda feel lije I want something new right now though. Need someone to sway me....Help!

It comes down to new flagship device now, or new flagship device later. Obviously if you wait, you'll have the Note 3 which will almost assuredly be a better Galaxy S4. On the other hand, shortly after that, the Galaxy S5 or whatever will be out and you'll have a superior device to the Note 3. Really it comes down to if you upgrade multiple times a year, if you don't mind waiting for something better and using that, or if you just want to get the best you can when it arrives and stick with it for awhile.

All S4 features will come to Note 2 eventually (all but IR Blaster).
I would wait for Note 3 or even Note 4. I'm taking the aproach to buy once every 2 Galaxy devices.
My first was an S2 and I'll be getting the S4 soon, then the S6 and so on.
If you like the Note flagship I would advise you to stick with it and do the same.
Unless you have money to spare and like to have the latest flagship always. That's up to you.

only reason i didn't get the note 2 was resolution, but i would rather have the smaller 5 inch 1080 screen than 720 on a rather larger phone.

I bet you're right. I have an S3 that I gave up for the Note 2 and when I grab the S3 it feels so small. I realize you really can't replace a Note with anything but a Note. Now that the Mega devices are certain, it's safe to say the Note 3 will remain 5.5" since 5.8 and 6.3 is Mega. I was afraid when N3 talk was bigger. If the S4 features makes its way to N2, I would/could be content. I really dont care about IR Blaster...I use harmony remotes.
Thank you guys

S4 is what I will recommend you. I know you may want to probably wait for note 3 but again you won't have that great resolution of which the critics are talking about. Check out the reviews everywhere.. They are calling it the supernova... If you wait for another 8 months then again you will think that I should wait for S5 which will be due in next 4 months from then.. Don't think too much. Go for s4 and you shall never regret it

The Note 3 will most likely have the same 1080p screen as the S4.

I hope they do what they did with the Note 3 that they did with the S4 in that the screen is improved and larger but the physical size of the phone does not increase. They just reduce the bezel area to get a larger screen size in the same or slightly smaller physical body. I would imagine that other physical improvements will be made with the Note 3 that will only improve the experience. S4 looks awesome but if they take what they have done with the S4 and incorporate it into the Note 3 it really will be the phone to have. Just my thoughts and why I'll be passing on the S4 and staying with the Note 2 until something dramatically better comes out.

Lots of fingers are pointing to the note 3 going 6+ inches. Seems to be getting a bit out of control at that point.

I would say no. I think overall the S4 is slightly better but its definitely not worth the extra money from a note 2, a device that is absolutely phenomenal.

S4 is an upgrade to S3, not the Note II. Note line targets power users who need more screen real estate and battery juice, unlike S4. I didn't go for a Note 2 based on its processor etc. alone, but the whole package. So for me, going for an S4 (or HTC One) is actually a downgrade, personally.
PS, interesting comparison here, despite not being the most objective:

I recently had to decided this too I think note 2 will be too big for practical use, s4 is a nice happy medium in my opinion

Old thread back again, anyway. I have used all the galaxy series, currently I have note 2 which is more than enough for me. Still I will upgrade because of my dirty habit of upgrading the gadgets. I will have problems in adjusting hands 5.5 to 5 inches, but I will get used to it. S4 is good enough to play for next 6 months until note 3 arrives. I am in bit of confusion for note 3. For me 5.5 inch is just more than enough, but 6 inch or 6.3 inch is a deal breaker for me. It will be too big.

Would you say note 2 is too big for every day use e.g commuting one hand use ? Would be great to have ur opinion having used both 5inch and 5.5
Sent from my XT890 using xda app-developers app

obviously note 2 is not great for one handed use. You could theoretically use it with the one handed mode, but it is struggle, especially when you switch between small and large keyboard layouts. It's a fair trade-off for me though, pros by far outweigh the cons, and you get used to the screen fast.

I won't say its toooo big, but yeah its big. Good that I have big hands too, it only sometimes gets irritating but most of the time, its fine, manageable in hands and pocket. For me its the limit, above that would not be a wise decision.

Most of the new gimmicks Sammy have put together for s4 will eventually make its way to note 2. Some leaks about flagship devices of other oems coming in q3 points to s4 getting outdated sooner than one thinks so I'd recommend to wait for note 3

I thought the Note 2 was big until I started using it. It took some time to get used to one-handed use, but it comes. I have small hands. There are some things that require to use two hands where it would be one on most phones. For instance, when I am checking email. If I am in a message and wanna go back to inbox. The back arrow is small in the top left corner. My thumb just wont make it. That's the one I constantly struggle with. Other than that, I love the N2 size. I will never go any bigger. Not even in the slightest.

I know this is an old thread, came across is in Google. But let me chime in here, I am in the same boat, I have the Note 2 but I also have an iPad Mini. I am thinking, do I need a tablet and a phablet?

Note 1 to Note 2

Hi everyone, i have a note 1 right now and i thinking to migrate to note 2. For who do this movement, worth it? how about compare one ho another in battery life, speed of response in general? etc...
Well any help is very welcome...
Thanks in advance!!

Battery Life - Note 2>>>>>Note
Speed, Again Note 2>Note
Display, personally Note 2>>>>>Note (sRGB vs Pentile, end of)
And it's much more comfortable to hold, and the aspect ratio is standard (16:9), so watching movies is more fun with N2.
It's a worthy upgrade, go for it.

Search. There are threads like this already.
And there is no comparison in these phones. Note 2 is WAY better on all points. I suggest looking up comparison videos.

Wait for note 3.

Or Note 4.. or 5.
Or keep waiting. No idea why people keep saying this. Pick a good phone that suits your needs. If you keep waiting for "better", you'll just end up waiting forever. N2 should be good for a good few years to run everything that's thrown at it IMO.

Well it will be out soon and im sure his note 1 will do till then if he hss to get 2 year contract? If its not a 2 year contract then yes note 2 big jump

Out soon? It's at least a few months away from now. And the development etc. takes a while to start off and same with good stable phone firmware etc.
Specwise, Note II itself is good enough for a good 2 years IMO.

People don't realise early adopters are the ones who end up waiting and testing their devices to find something close to stable, not to mention the hardware related bugs as with SDS. We only recently started seeing aosp/cm ROMs for the Note 2 that are close to usability and the note 2 was released in 2012. Unless you're a developer I suggest you get the Note 2 for now. And if you aren't on contract get the Note 3 when its at least 4-5months after its release; that gives you atleast 9-10 months to enjoy your note 2.

It's probably 5 to 6 months away.
If I were planning on taking out another two year contract to get a free phone, I'd probably be inclined to wait. As it is, I tend to get a free upgrade every two years, and sell it to buy something new after a year.
I bought a Note in October 2011, and got a free upgrade to the Note 2 in October 2012 - I expect to be able to buy a Note 3 this October.
As to firmware, I never had the need to use anything other than stock on my Note 2. Assuming Samsung can maintain that quality, I guess the Note 3 would be the same (for me personally).

Dave

I had the Note1 for a year and then moved to Note2 and I can tell that the difference is HUGE! Note2 is the first mobile phone that satisfies me at 100%. Note2 is narrower than Note1 so it seems smaller even being bigger than Note1. Proportions are better. The touch is very pleasant, S3-style, is very, very fast, the battery lasts longer, and the notifications LED is a big improvement to me. It's also the first phone that has healed my flashaholic condition! now with stock rom, perseus kernel and a couple of mods I'm happy!
Don't think twice, it's a big improvement!
EDIT: Only two things: Maybe the camera is slightly better in Note1, and in my opinion it's the maximum size i'm willing to carry daily with me.

One thing i think is clear. Samsung are close to release a new version of his devices every year. And we can decide when change it. I think that Will be a moment that the specifications of a device complain us in the most of it and then we can stay with it for a long time. Trught the distance, Windows xp was in some time the first really stable operation system from ms. Has a lot of years working and for me is enough and is working in all my pc's with no problem and with no need to upgrade it.
Note 1 is great in general, i think the only thing to be perfect will be when i dont need to have the battery icon in the top bar (jeje) and no lag at all in general.
At least is what i think.
Thanks for the answers...

The difference is bigger.
You can wait to the note 3, but when samsung release it they be much more spensive than the 2.

I was disappointed with the Note II display being smaller - one or two apps displayed noticeably less on the screen. Otherwise, the Note II is much better. I'm getting a Note 8 as my next phone.

I'm actually thankful that they made it less wider - and even Note II is sometimes a tad awkward to hold. Can't imagine how awful it would have been with the original Note. Plus the aspect ratio is more standard with Note II, which means movies etc. fit perfect on N2. And it's still 5.3'' vs 5.5'' right? So not sure why you'd say that.

As there are fewer pixels, some apps display differently. E.g. Google Reader lacks the "Mark All Read" button on the Note II, but showed it on the Note, which is tiresome. (Of course Google are abandoning that app, so its's no longer relevant, but there are other examples too). And I did not find the Note awkward to hold at all - and I do not have big hands.

Not convinced by Note 3 and keeping S4?

Ok I have seen numerous people in my country selling their S4 to get the Note 3.
I have a One and still can't decide between S4 and Note 3,but when I see so much people running away from S4 and going to Note 3 I wonder if XDA real intelligent users will do?

I personally wouldn't choose Note 3 or any Note.
Why?
Because of size. The size of Note 3 is for a limited market.

Really happy with my S4, the screen seemed really big at first (coming from a Sensation with a 4.3" screen), but now I've gotten used to it, I think its the perfect size and wouldn't want to go bigger (already have a Nexus 7, so not much point) or smaller for that matter. Dont really fancy the back on the Note 3 either, although Im sure its probably easily swapped out.

stick with s4,save ur money for future alien invasion

Note series are for a small niche market. You will have less ROM and less developers supporting it. Less user means less developers. I rather upgrade to a Nexus 5.

The Note 3 is too small to be a tablet and too big to be a phone. No regrets about buying the S4 and I will be keeping it, especially given that I only use CWM and never change my ROM via Odin or Kies so still have the non-Knox bootloader, unlike the Note 3.
This will be my last Samsung device however. I'm not being told I can't root my device by anyone.
There should be another option in the poll:-
I am keeping my S4 but this will be the final Samsung phone I will be buying.

S4 for now, until S5/ Note 4
this is EXACTLY what was going through my mind. I live in India and would get the exynos variantof Note3 if I had to get it.
now think it in the terms of the previous iteration by Sammy. The end user experience using a Note 2 was much much much better than the S3, but the gap diminished to a minuscule aperture in the case of S4 / Note 3 combo.
The hand recognition for S4,much manageable size is a good case for me to put any idea to get the Note 3, to rest.
There was a very weak thought through my mind to get the Note 3 cause of the supposedly HMP and core migration, but the Note 3 is in the same boat as the S4. higher clock speed is a "meh" .lol.
cannot say the same thing about the Snapdragon variant market though. for me, Note 3 is a good upgrade for the "Note" users. For those S3 or other flagship users who are wanting to upgrade, I think S4 is a "saner" choice.
Here in India, there is a price difference of around 11,000 INR. I don't think a leather looking plastic back panel is worth the price. :cyclops:

keeping S4 and choose between Nexus 5 or S5

i m definitely keeping my s4 as i have an old bootloader but i was actually considering to purchase a note 3 because i wanted a bigger screen and a better battery. Thankfully Samsung ****ed up the note 3 and this made my decision easier so as the soup nazi from seinfeld would say : no more Samsung for you.
Currently i m waiting for the nexus 5 and i have heard about the htc one max so let s wait and see the users reviews before rushing into another device .

i m definitely keeping my s4 as i have an old bootloader but i was actually considering to purchase a note 3 because i wanted a bigger screen and a better battery. Thankfully Samsung ****ed up the note 3 and this made my decision easier so as the soup nazi from seinfeld would say : no more Samsung for you.
Currently i m waiting for the nexus 5 and i have heard about the htc one max so let s wait and see the users reviews before rushing into another device .

I would suggest not going for note series just coz of its size.after sometime it feels my hands felt uncomfortable holding it while talking.

I do own S4 and N3 and I can tell that is a big difference between them. If you get comfortable with the size of note go with him. It's a way better product. By the way...I don't think that the note 3 will be less developed, Samsung will sell milions of them and there is a lot of people who just love the form factor and the abilities of the note series. I will keep anyday Note 3.

for the average user I'd say the note of any kind is great as where I am many like to watch movies on it etc. but for myself and the many others on XDA, we like customization. I had a note 2 but sold if off for the s4. at first I thought it was a mistake but now i think its for the better. development wasn't that great on the note 2 forums and aosp roms don't really support the device much. the s4 seems to have more variety interms of hybrid tw roms as well as custom aosp roms and kernel support.

I have both and truly the SG Note 3 is simply a bigger screen S4 with a pen.
That said, I really like the bigger screen, and the pen makes life so much easier. But then again, I'm a bloke with big hands and the S4 keyboard is just a little too small for them. Allbmyvtxts lookvlike this.....

Like someone said,you can use the Note 3 for some minutes but holding it in your hand while walking for example is not a good idea because it's not ergonomic,if they had chose rounded borders instead of cubic a la S2 it would have been way better.
I had an S2 and ended swapping it with Sensation just because of that

Try G2

I just had the S4 a month ago and I'm EXTREMELY satisfied. Though I'd certainly would love to have a Note 3. Next year I might switch to the next iteration of the Note. The Galaxy line has vastly improved (also the Android platform and Android OEMs in general) so next year would probably be a great time to upgrade.

I would love to have Note 3 but i think its too big for my hands. :laugh:

I always wonder if I would find the note 3 too big for everyday use, Im quite tall and can palm a basketball with ease but somehow I feel it would still feel big and I would not get used to as people say they do.
