Reviews on the S3 so far are positive. As there are problems with the Note+ICS, can I buy the S3. Then, install software such as Premium Suite on it? Does the S pen work on the S3?
No.
No Wacom digitizer means no S-pen. Fingers & capacitance pens would be as close as you get. You could probably load the premium suite on it, but I would assume the software on the s3 is more suited for it.
I just got ICS on my Note, & after doing a hard reset, it seems to be working quite nicely.
You may be able to possibly turn a galaxy note into an S3

Software wise, yes that would be much easier
C-pen
I don't know what it means, but I suspect the S3 is not a fingers-only gadget.
I asked the staff at the Samsung store. He does not know about the C-pen nor
Premium Suite!
For turning the Note into S3 via software, do I need to root?
S3 has nothing to do with S-pen absolutely. It's the matter of hardware.

The C-Pen will just be a capacitive stylus, that would work on any device with a capacitive screen. It is essentially just an extension to your finger and won't have anywhere the precision or capability of the S-Pen.
Essentially, the SIII is a fingers-only device.

Yes, you will need root access but be VERY careful using root access with the current ics kernels because you could end up with a bricked device. I recommend giving the Midnote rom a try, it's full of s3 features. Just make sure you follow the installation instructions to be safe.

Most problems arise from people who flashes a lot. If you use stock rom and do not root or modify sensible system settings, you are mostly safe from bricking anything.
A Note is a Note and the S3 is the S3.
I guess you can't interchangeably turn one over the other.... You can however port some of the niceties of the S3 to the Note.. and it would add up more some cool features on your already powerful NOTE!
However the S3 CAN NEVER BE a Note... The Note was design as a high breed of a cross between a tablet and a phone.. while the S3 is just a plain Smartphone. Yeah, you might say there are more fancy and cool features that the S3 can do that blows the Note away, but given that the Note is a mix of a phone and a tablet... It functions in a dual manner.... You can use it in landscape mode and forget it as a phone, or you can do it the other way...
I never get bored using my Note as it offers an endless and myriad possibilities on what it can offer me... Even though the Note is already a year after its released.. It is still one hell of a PHABLET!.
Something that the S3 could never ever take it away... (I'm sure when all the hyped on S3 would die down... people using it would tantamount to being bored of it).
While on the other hand the NOTE?
well... It still belongs to the top pedestals of cross breeds of tablets and just a plain old boring smartphones.
and oh by the way... did I mention that It still as always attracts attention every time you use it in public?
I'm pretty sure the SPen is too long to fit in the S3.

Hi,
I looked at the function in galaxy note 10.1, and I really like the S note function. I have a question, is there any possibility tht s note will work on my galaxy tab 10.1 gt-p7510??
I hope that someone can.port the feature to our gtab 10.1 too.
TQ.

Anyway if the 6.3 has a stylus and the specs of the SIV then I will definitely get it.

I guess that's true for people that only bought the Note(s) for the larger display. For those that actually use S Pen/S Note (I think there are about 10 of us ) we'll all wait for the N3. And God I hope the latest rumor is true and its got a 5.9" display. Based on the bigger display and smaller form factor of the SGS4 I'd love a Note with a bigger display that's no bigger than the N2. And Samsung’s already released a 5" phonblet called the Galaxy Grand in certain markets. The Note 8 tablet hasn't even hit retail yet so it's not like their giving up on the Note franchise.
And Mega's have "GT-i" prefixes so they won't have styli or S Note.
The fact that these guys will be separate from the Note series is "proven" by their rumored model numbers, which are said to be GT-I9152 for the 5.8" one and GT-I9200 for the 6.3" one.http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sams...ega-5.8-and-6.3-variants-in-the-works_id41450
Why not Giga or Tera or Penta?
whats so Mega about it?
13megapixels camera? like the camera is exclusive...
it doesnt make sense
Anyway all of that are still speculations.
I am not very optimistic about what they will do, when I look what happened with my 7.7 Tab and maybe the low market share of the Note ( about 2%).
I hope they will still offer a phablet with the spen in future. The name or if the product code is GT-I instead of GT-N doesn't really matter.

i think the mega series could be the mid-range devices with bigger displays, something close to the ace series. (something dual core with a decent camera, not for heavy users i guess)

For using this devices, i must now "enlarge my fingers"
Hello, I'm wondering which phone I should buy: the n7105/i317m, or the i9500/i9505.
The screen is bigger on the Note, and the S-Pen is nice, but the S4 has 1080p vs 720. Can you use the S-Pen on the S 4?
Which CPU/GPU is better?
Exynos Quad with Mali400-MP, Exynos Octa with PowerVR SGX 544mp3, or Snapdragon 600 Quad Krait 300 w/Adreno 320?
Is there a different CPU on the i317m?
I know both S4 GPUs are better than the note's, but is the difference very noticeable?
Currently I have an S II LTE i727r, which is pretty old. Which one has better AOSP/CM support? Will I be able to use the S-Pen/S4 features under a CM or AOSP rom?
Sorry about all the questions, I just want to know all of the facts before I buy anything. I would be buying unlocked/no contract from Canada.
Thanks in advance.

You can use anything on the screen of the S4! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEdLhRzGi-U
I don't believe you can use the S-Pen on the S4, but then again I don't think you really need to. Thanks to air view, any of your 10 fingers can function as an S-Pen. Some features will carry down to the Note II, but there will also be features that won't. I'm not sure what those are, but if I had to guess, dual recording might be one of them. As far as the octacore vs the Snapdrag600, it depends. The Snapdragon variant supports LTE, but the Exynos does not. However, the Exynos is a bit better as far as processing power, audio, and battery is concerned. If you live in an area with LTE, I'd personally go with the 600, otherwise you'd probably be better off with the Exynos.
The Galaxy S4 will have a superior CPU/GPU. I don't know how reliable this video is, but it's the quickest I could find:

I've had the Note 1 and Note 2, and while the S-Pen is pretty cool and works wonderfully, I find myself never using it again after a few days with the phone. I have a Note 2 right now and can't wait for my S4 to get here! Better screen, better camera, better processor, better features...I definitely think it's worth the upgrade.
Maybe on 3Q of 2013, Because the note was announced September 2011 and the note 2 was announced august 2012.

I too was wondering about S-Pen functionality, but I suspect that it's probably not compatible.
Only reason is sometimes I do like to write notes with the S-Pen, and it's still hard and inaccurate to write with fingers.
I'd get the GS4. Love the s-pen feature on my galaxy note. BUT the real trick is the next note rootable? If not I'd get the s4 since chainfire and the gang figured out a way on how to root the damn thing. Personally I'd wait for the note 3 since i love the big screen. If you need a phone in your case and need the spen get the note 2 used on ebay.

Note. 3 will have plastic oled says sammobile
Personally, absolutely note. Battery life, Screen size and S Pen - I could afford to miss the latter, but not the other two. I guess most Note II users would only upgrade with N3, since they'd have most likely bought it for those three aspects in the first place. In love with this damn phone.

They say a lot of stuff, these "rumors" are hardly reliable. I'd be happy if that's the case though. Just hope they don't make it way too large and compromise on the battery life (if possible, add some extra mAh )
On a side note, the e300 will have octa with LTE.

It will be almost the same as Galaxy S4. You did not notice that Galaxy S2 almost same as Galaxy Note? And Galaxy S3 almost the same thing as Galaxy Note 2. I can't find ANY uniqueness in Galaxy S4 for me.
The s3 and Note 2 are nowhere close to being the same. Maybe looks but inside are not the same.
I wonder if we will see something really amazing, exclusive to the note 3? Thinking back the note 2 had the air view first, any ideas? And does anyone think 2 or 3 different sizes? Very exciting
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Different sizes is going to be big flop concept. Just a couple of variants like s4 is enough, screen size should be same. What I am expecting that note 3 will have smoothness from note 2 and features from s4. In short, it will be a Job Finished of what it would have been in the s4.
You are right

Galaxy S3 and Note2 are the same, inside to. Same exynos 4212 q core chip. only big diference i se is S-pen and screen size. and only 1 gig ram in S3 3g version 2 gig in 4G verersion.
But one exiting thing with S4 4G (I9505) version is Snapdragon chipset, same as s4 google edition, and i thing i saw someone making dual boot google edition and samsung stock rom
I'm going to go out on a limb here and gamble, and say the Note 3 will have at least 2 sizes,and be different to the s4,if you think about it, the mega is not too different to the s4, so I can't see a big presentation showing this, could you see them showing a mega with only a few different things to the mega! Not me, this isn't going to be a apple presentation with only a few differences like the iPhone 3, then the 3s, then the iphone 4, then the 4s.

As long as they don't follow the idiots copying Apple's worst ideas like frigging integrated batteries, no expandable storage with small or very expensive internal memory and scrap metal cases I would buy a Mega-sized Note III the day it's available even if NOTHING but the display size changes from the Note II.
I don't think they will change the battery, and memory card slot, that would be suicidal, by the way the one thing that will stop me getting this phone, AND I mean the only reason is if it has the same flash player as the s4, awful experience, the note 2 has the best internet experience, even the HTC one, built in flash player is awful, I use a football streaming website and only the note 2 it plays smooth, no lag or stuttering, all from the default browser, not chrome, and I tested the mega as well, and same thing, so the s4, mega and HTC one, all have awful flash player experience.

Actually, I already lost count of the S4 variants. One comes out every week I do hope Samsung refrains from this on the Note 3. But I do agree that 2 variants is more than enough. Screen size will certainly increase. That, is almost certain. It would be suicidal not to when the competition will be releasing phablets with screens around 6".

Right on! :good: I played with the Huawei Ascend Mate a bit last weekend and loved its 6.1" screen. I also realized that moving from 5.5" to 5.7" will be irrelevant. I'll have to move to 6" to notice any real world difference.

Phone Arena does it again! Yet another utterly pointless, irrelevant and totally devoid of any new info "leak".
I dont understand why ppl think the Note 3 will come in 3 sizes???? Why in the world would samsung do that? I dont think it makes any sense. I do however believe that it'll come in at least 2 variants, 1 snapdragon 800 version and 1 exynos 5 octa 2nd gen version. I also think that it'll be either a 5.7 inch or 5.9 inch display but most likely 5.7 inch due to all the latest rumors. Samsung needs to leave some room for future notes. If they release a note 6.4 like the Z ultra, next year it'll have to be bigger otherwise it'll be a downgrade in size. Bigger than 6.4 inch is a tablet period so 5.7-5.9 inch is pretty cool.
All the note 3 needs to do ( in my opinion) to be a worthy upgrade to the best mobile device ever ( note 2 of course) is to have a flawless performance and even more cooler and useful tricks with the Spen, have a 1000% lag free experience ( not like the S4 when it launched), slimmer and have less bezel all around with amazing battery life. I also HOPE that samsung ditches the stupid features like smart pause and smart scroll that are honestly gimmicky ( who really scrolls up and down a web page with their eyes...) and give us more very useful features like multi-window. Last but not least, please Samsung, ditch the S4, S4 mini, galaxy mega 6.3 design and introduce us to something more exciting, different and less predictable.
Just need to say that the scrolling the website, is not a gimmick, you will use it and not even realise after a while,
It's a shame that there is so much space wasted on the bezel, I would prefer Samsung on the home button, than above, and also it would be mad for them not to release a 6" size, version, could we see a notification home button like the G pro, phone,
