Specs have been confirmed and they're exactly like the att note. Hardware wise the s3 out guns the note. But I too find myself asking myself the same thing lol
I've decided to just wait till the end of the year to see what happens. Note 2 and galaxy nexus 2 are suppose to come out. But who knows.

Note2 just around the corner
Forget about the Note, the Note2 is coming out at the end of Augest or early Sept. Why in the hell Tmobile is even bothering with this is beyond me. My guess would be that their so far down the dev cycle with their crap "tmobile apps" that they are just going to move forward and not listen to anyone. There was a poll out a few weeks ago that asked the question
Why do you root your phone
1) To install Custom Roms
2) To remove carrier bloatware
3) both
The results were something like 83% I think for number 2. This shows in the ratings for all of the Tmobile forced bloatware apps in the
play store. With comments like how do I remove this, I don't want this on my phone and I don't even use this why are you making me update it.
etc.
If Tmobile would LISTEN and not install bloatware and make those apps up to the user with links to them in the play store they would have less
bricked phones and warranty issues. Less customer churn and more than anything else they would be able to deploy new phones alot faster.
Its a shame to cause they say they listen to their users but its apparent thats not the case.
They screwed us on the S3 with the dual core deal. From what I heard they were offered the Korean S3 but passed since it was more money and its deployment cycle date was later than the dual core so they felt they would have missed the boat. They also charge more and made it hell of confusing for those wanting to buy it. Like its 329 plus rebate and then $20 payment a month for x months. I mean who comes up with that crap!!! Now their bringing an almost year old phone to market "as new". It really makes zero since. I mean how are people going to feel when they sign a contract for 2 years only to hear the NEW Note2 is coming out weeks later. Samsung will be doing their big promo's and such for the Note2 and you will be holding your what you thought was a new phone in you hand going wtf I just bought this!!! I think its going to cause a fare amount of confusion and could cause some backlash. No one wants to feel taken "Taken" but this is going to cause at least some ill will. The only saving grace is the Note2 will take a month or two to get here state side but still. Every chance Tmobile has had to really stand out from the rest and offer really great phones that are better than what is out there yet they keep dropping the ball. Makes me seriously want to take the new CEO position and really turn the company around cause it doesn't look like anyone with vision is driving the bus.

Definitely S3. You will be disappointed if you choose the Note over the S3.

This is a paradox that will always be there. In November when you get your Nexus, you will want to hold off until April for the S3-Plus or whatever is on the verge of coming out then.
I agree...however if this was a question for a gs2 user I would tell them neither! The s2 rooted with the right rom and kernel is as good if not better than anything out right now. In my opinion, if you're even reading any of these forums and interested in flashing roms and personalization you should move to a nexus device. They get all the newest and coolest stuff first cause that's what Google uses to develop on. So SAVE YOUR MONEY until another bad ass nexus is on the market. It will probably be expensive so everyone do yourself a favor and start saving!

Still rocking my S2, and waiting till my upgrade in December. We'll see what's out then. Nothing worth leaving my S2 for, and Nexus isn't worth leaving T-Mobile for, so. Honestly, I would get the Note, but only because I love big screens, and I work from my phone and my tablet all day.
problem is the note is just a bigger version of your S2 not the note2. It's last year's model from att with a stamp that says T-Mobile and their new "app pack" which is nothing more than you can download for free from the playstore. It's getting upgraded to ICE but I would bet that's as far as it goes due to hardware.

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Ya know, I was a vibrant user, recently upgraded to the t989 and I love it (of course). If you look at the specs on the s3 you're not going to see a huge boost in performance. Slightly different aestethic design to it, a few features that, while pretty cool, are already being provided as mods for the s2, thanks to the brilliant devs here xda.
Another thing to look at is the fact that the s2 has been on the market long enough that its bugs have been worked out and there are endless options for modification.
Last but not least, tmo is offering the s2 for free? Wish we had known that was coming a couple months ago..
If it were my wallet, I'd go with the s2 and use the money on a new BBQ. Good luck with your decision and I hope you enjoy whichever device you go with.

Yes t mobile is having a sale this weekend only with a mail in rebate. I checked it out on the website and called customer service and they confirmed. I might get the s2 and I can always return it next week if I change my mind. Thanks for the help!

Really I just want something faster and 4g and a better camera. What's your opinions on how the s2 performs in these categories?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
s3 is a great phone and you should upgrade if you're on the vibrant. I could not justify upgrading from an s2 to an s3 this seems like just an incremental upgrade imo. But from the vibrant the s3 will be a huge improvement.
Honestly the one S if anything seems like the most exciting device(I know I will get flamed). If you can get around not having an SD card(I cant right now but I can see myself giving it up in the future.) I would go with that.
Metal, honestly, the s2 really meets your needs as far as what you're looking for, camera is crystal clear, even with flash in poor lighting. The phone is super responsive, never lags for me and has 4g. Certainly not trying to talk you out of the s3 tho, just saying my experience with the s2 has been very positive.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
The specs of the SII vs SIII aren't too far off. They'll both perform very well (with the slight improvements going to the SIII of course). The one area that is tempting/makes me jealous about the SIII is the screen resolution. That sucker is very crisp, and makes our screen seem rather low-res.
However, having said that the SII sounds like it will meet your needs. It has a fantastic camera, and very high speeds. I'm also not sure if the SIII supports full 42mb/s like the SII does (because of the talk of a unified model), so it may be slower but if someone has more knowledge perhaps they can correct me.
When it comes down to it, it depends if you think it's worth the $200 difference. For me, I'd probably take an SII and call it a day.

Don't mean to high jack the thread, but..
How's many current S2 owners are jumping ship to the S3??
Just wondering because for the ones that are, we are gonna need to stick together and start a bounty for TDJ and Eugene when we get there.
Gotta have them on board.

I am not going for s3. May be i will go for next nexus or note 2 when they availble.
There is nothing new in sgs3 I mean this time Samsung did not introduced any thing first time. Many companies already released their phones with HD screen and with quad core processor.
I am expecting something unseen from Samsung but this time they did not.

For those that think its just incremental upgrade, I think not. S4 processor is greatly improved over the S3. It has improvements in battery life and power. See this website of various benchmarks and phone comparisons

The thing about this is ... if u get an s2 or s3 are u gonna run it stock... answer is probably not so next question is do u like touchwiz enough to keep it... reason for asking is that if u plan on running cm9, or aokp then the difference between the two is minimal I'd say the s3 obviously is gonna outperform the s2 but in day to day use on cm9 and aokp I'd say u wouldn't really be able to tell the difference.

I couldn't agree more. Of course the S3 is faster, but I honestly can't think of applications or situations in which the SII fails me. Sure maybe it will be 2ms faster to load the Homescreen, but we're not talking about noticeable differences. Until software catches up and creates more demanding apps (or perhaps they're out and I just don't want to use them yet), there will not be much differentiation.
I don't see the point of performing an upgrade simply for upgrade's sake. I have a desktop that's aged quite well. The processor is nearly 5.5 years old, and the graphics cards are 4 years old. There are computers that can run laps around mine, but in the end it doesn't matter because all of the programs and games I play run nearly flawlessly at max or near max settings. Sorry if that's OT, but it's the same concept.

Right, I think the question is will it get the full 42mb/s.
I see conflicting information regarding what type of 4g speeds this thing will get (I mean HSPA+ 21 or 42mb/s). Some sites say there will be a T-Mo version, and it may have the fastest quadcore while other carriers get slower ones, and then others say the phone will be unified.
Does anyone have a recent trustworthy link regarding this issue?
The s2 is great. I'd stock with it if I didn't have an upgrade available. But since I do, I'm getting the gs3. The variety of cases alone makes it better for me as I like to use multiple cases and swap them frequently.

Why not wait until the upgrade means more to you? It's not like you lose the upgrade, and it takes 2 additional years to get another.
Well I received a call from a VZW supervisor asking how has my experience been with the Nexus. I stated that it has locked up a few times but the main thing that upsets me has been the update times. They apologize and say they can send me an S3 if I would like that. I gladly said yes. This is what she said " we are calling customers with the nexus that have been with VZW for more than 10 years because we have received many complaints. We value our customers and want to take care of you." What do you guys think about this

probably the international S3
I downgraded from an S3 to a GNexus and let me tell you, that phone is terrible. Its too big and yet it feels like cardboard ready to break at any second. The build quality was **** and the volume buttons felt like they would pop out any second. On top of that the Touchwiz that comes with is on par with low-budget LG phones. I mean the thing wouldn't stop trying to upload my photos to G+ even after i told it 50 times to stop. You can't get rid of the "Wi-Fi available" bull**** and the whole top of notification bar is ful of other retarded **** that I never used, you literally have like 1/2 of the notifications filled with useless crap. The keyboard is also modified to **** it comes with swype which has autocorrect but if you get tired of swype and go back to normal keyboard it suddenly loses its auto-correct. Overall I hated the phone and i'm glad I got the GNexus.
I feel like they may be doing this to try and get rid of nexus updates altogether by offering s3 they can just say Samsung is your problem with the nexus one it hits aosp it really shouldn't take much time to get to the end user I think Verizon is tired of supporting this phone.

I think your biggest problem is Sprint, not the phones you have
I would have told the CSR that I'll take a phone I can unlock and do whatever I want with over one that they locked down. Tell them to call back when they're offering the developer edition, which will likely never actually see the light of day.
Have you guys tried Jellybean? Do it and then tell me you hate the Nexus...you won't. It's buttery smooth with Franco's kernel and battery life is great. I had an Epic Touch and it was a great phone, but you can't give those things away...they made millions of them and that $99 bogo special doesn't help resale. I put $100 with mine and traded for a 4s and sold it for $400. People are having problems getting $200 for the Epic. Traded another 4s for an Evo lte then for my Nexus. Lte is a good phone but feels like its gonna break in half, plus I had a 1.15 hboot. Nexus' camera isn't the greatest, but it's a phone camera remember...I would however trade my Nexus for an S3

well if i get the option to change my nex for an S3 id go for it, and flash cm10 (i know you guys are gonna say cm10 is not the same on the nex than on any other phone) but id jus enjoy the slighly better hardware for a bit until the next nexus(es) come out in november, then id be back in the nexus line again
If this is true its not a good sign. If they decide not to carry the next nexus I will likely be moving on. Honestly I would have told them no. To me the s3 is not really much of an upgrade. The only advantage is the processor and camera.

sprint's been doing good with 4g rollout and 3g speeds in san antonio, so i may pick it up. 5.5" is huge though!! (that's not what she said)
Bigger screen with the same resolution as the S3, pass.
Bigger screen is nice in bed watching youtube and movies, but you could have a tablet instead, and keep a phone for calling and stuff.
Phone has nice specs but with S3 and a 7" tablet w/pen functions I don't need it. I can see how a device like this could really catch on in the business community though. Wish I could put it in the hands of all my field techs but the cost of data plans is still too high.
I want to see what the lower dpi screens about. Also probably won't get cm10 for note 2 and even if we do probably won't get the s-pen working. I might pass and keep the s3.

Ditto here. My mom just got the S4, despite my protestations. She doesn't even know how to use half the features on her old phone. I tried to talk her into getting the S3 for 1/4 of the price, but she wouldn't listen.
My upgrade is up Oct 1 and I plan to get whatever is best at that time but nothing as large as the note 3. I think a 5" screen size is perfect for an all around device. Possibly the LG Optimus G2 or Motorola X. Still waiting for news on both.
I skipped the S3 b/c I think it wasn't a major-enough upgrade. But I got the S4 right when the preorders went live. I'll be using my upgrade for the S5 when it comes out, most likely. Kept my S2 as my backup phone and mom & wifey's still rocking the S2.
Im going to get my s4 tomorrow but im still torn between that and the note 2....

Great news on the design, but no removeable battery is pretty much a deal breaker. How does Samsung not realize what their best features are? Seriously, the removable battery and SD card slot are the core design features that separates their product from the crap Apple puts out.

Had this phone for about a year and a half. Don't see myself upgrading anytime soon. This phone has not lagged once on me and I have not seen either S3 or s4 as upgrade-worthy

I like how right after the article it has a link that says "Innovation Is Still At Apple's Core" sure it is... the only thing they've done since Jobs died is copy Android features.

my contract ends in october so if the g5 is reported to be within 6 months of that ill probably go with it, if not then ill probably get a s4 or htc one
So I read earlier today this phone, despite lasting less time than other smart phones before its time, is coming to an end. Will devs jump ship too? Will we be seeing any unofficial key lime once it launches? Maybe 4.2 tw ROMs?
I understand s4 is out now, but hardware wise it isn't too drastically different right? Or should I just swap this in like everybody else?

I wouldnt say it at end of life.
This is still one if the best phones out there. And besides, I seriously doubt theyll stop selling the s3 before the s2?

Yeah, And the S2 still there getting updates. And I think I read somewhere that even though is out of the shelves it will still get updates
Im still seeing it on shelves.
Maybe not at tmobile, but saw one 3 days ago at walmart.

Only two devices I would give my S3 up for, the note 3 or the next nexus device (as long as it isn't made by LG and the back isn't glass). Until then, I'm perfectly happy keeping my S3.

The S3 is one of the best selling phones so I doubt we'll see it abandoned any time soon. I'm sure we'll see a keylime pie release. I remember when the s2 was supposed to end at ICS but it seems to run JB just fine. I wouldn't even be surprised if it also gets keylime though it would probably be an unofficial release.
