lol i kinda disagree on the battery life... i had an iphone 4s and battery was amazing and my take is that it will be even better on the iphone5... and the battery on my gs3 barely makes it through out the day..
I had a 4s battery life was terrible if I abused the phone at most it got was 8 hours barely a work day, my gs3 will do 12 abused the only reason why 4s got great battery life for most people because they didn't acutely use the phone most iPhone users just use it for phone calls because the screen is too tiny to read forums and everything

this is true! i agree with you sir.
For those of us that need a work horse that is constantly adapting and improving, the SG3 is the best choice. The iPhone is the electronic equivalent of a hot chick with a small dog in her purse...sure it may be a mainstream accessory, but eventually the dog gets old and drops a deuce in the purse.
Here's to Android and the furthering development of the SG3!
Most likely sent from a phone....my carrier pigeon is in the shop.
I think most people have forgotten about the S3 having LTE and any iPhone prior to 5 not having LTE. Put both phones on 3G only and then compare them. You still wouldn't get a fair comparison considering the larger screen and extra features the S3 has. If you want the best battery life out of your device keep auto brightness on and turn off LTE.

Why not just say the lesser phone does not have the capabilities of the better phone and leave it at that?
Would you compare a Corvette with 2 cylinders deactivated to a Honda with a V6?
As for battery life, this is such a subjective topic that it can not really be compared. Different people have
vastly different battery stats because every phone is being used differently and they are setup differently.

Today being Christmas I am thankful for this smartphone. Yeah there is always something better coming around the corner, but not to be greedy lets be happy with this awesome device.
Being rooted with a great ROM and cool ICS theme this phone is warp speed fast, with great battery life, and looks so damn cool.
Even compared to my buddies new Nexus, I honestly like this phone a bit better, for numerous reasons.
Merry Christmas

My first Android was the MyTouch 3G, which was very clunky and choppy, and just a couple years later I am holding this awesome Galaxy SII with 4.5" AMOLED screen that is razor thin and very lightweight.
Wow Android has come a long long way compared to those first year devices.

That's very sleek. If it's real it'll be one more reason to give the SG3 a hard look when (if ever) it comes out.
Yea. It looks almost too sleek. Like a touch screen remote or something. Its a serious stretch from what we've seen. But with the advancements this phone is supposed to usher in.....its almost kinda fitting. My OG Epic line is up in October.
Hopefully that's enough time for it to get jerked around by sprint and have a decent rumor on a release date.....

Looks like it could be the real deal tho the invite date is right afaik, the only problem is the US variant won't make it here til sometime end of 3rd or 4th quarter since Sammy didn't let this one out of the cage til September I don't see them dropping another flagship device less than 12 months from the last especially since the epic 2 is coming this summer which is basically our phone with LTE instead of wimax, but most of the specs are very similar otherwise

Honestly I could see them dropping it sooner. While the Epic 2 is known about it's pretty much a refresh of the Epic that is already there and no it's not a Epic Touch it's the Epic with the keyboard so it's the update to that model nothing more and with better specs. I could see Sammy dropping this on everyone if what they said was true about wanting to release it world wide in 1 shot instead of how the GS2 was released where people pretty much had to wait almost a year to get their hands on it (outside of the GSM version)
Also that looks like the back of the phone as many have said in that posting. I tend to agree with it as well but seriously if that really is it....Shut up and take my money please now!!!!

No idea what you are talking about!
Because benchmarks are stupid?
If you want to give any credence to Quadrant then go ahead, but it's about as random as a mouse eating celery while driving down the freeway in a 2013 Mustang GT 500 sky blue with white racing stripes jamming the new Tiesto album in 7.1 surround sound digital speakers with a 2 channel 3000 watt amp powering three 10s and two 12s (yeah, 5 subs is random, deal with it) and part of his ear is missing because he got into a fight with a demonic blender and nearly lost.
And that's actually not even as random as the numbers quadrant gives.
Quadrant serves no useful purpose whatsoever.
They are not stupid, but you can't use it to compare to any other phone (even other Nexus) they work to compare before and after for you phone only. Like run it with STOCK clock and ROM and then flash and overclock to see any change, something like that. Same to check how fast does temp go high, and so on...

why does it matter so much to you? because people like to have fun with their devices. no one believes that these benchmarks are the end all. but some do enjoy benchmarking their devices. if you dont like them , ignore them. id rather know why people like you would rather that people not benchmark their devices.. how does this affect you directly and personally? just ignore these threads and dont read or post in them. personally, i suspect that youre feeling inadequate with a slow device :silly:
its as easy as.. if you dont believe in Christianity, dont go to church. but dont stand in front of everyone yelling that theres no god. thats just rude.
---------- Post added at 06:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------
just to make something clear.. to the average person these benchmarks mean nothing. but to a kernel developer(for example) they show just how the changes they made affect the device. and one specific benchmark does not hold the answer. but using many different benchmarks is like a goldmine of information. plus, some people find it fun, thrilling, just to see how and what they can do to make their devices faster.

Quadrant scores used alongside other numbers do paint an overall picture and can be quite useful finding bottle necks and does tell you if a change to code had the desired effect.
You can catch when a change not relating to performance turns up to have an undesired side effect afterall.
Just don't depend on a single benchmark and use several and the data gained is quite useful.

I am coming from a HTC Evo 4g. I loved that phone but it was time to upgrade. I got my note 2 on release day and I absolutly love this phone!!!! The camera is much better than the Evos. The only thing im starting to wonder about it can i deal with the size of this phone for the next 2 years. I currently have a body glove on it, which doesnt add much bulk to it, but somtimes i feel like im going to drop the phone when im using it with one hand. I just cant seem to get a good grip on the phone when using one hand and I have large hands.
Dude please stop talking so dirty.

I actually find it too big- I figure if I am paying 299 for a phone then i better not have any doubts about it and the size is giving me doubts. I am prety sure i am going to return it this week and either get the lg nexus 4 or wait for that exynos 5250 samsung device coming out soon.

I understand it is supposed to be a big phone. But sometimes i get nervous i might drop it when trying to do something with it one handed. Specifically trying to drop down the notifiation menu. Seeing as how I already sold my old phone, ill be keeping this phone for at least 9 more days and ill see if I can live with it. If not ill most likely get the gs3

Im a girl and I dont think its too big.
Lol why are these people scared of the phone being too big, it's like buying a Lamborghini and saying, man, this goes too fast,lol

plus you can set the keyboard and phone pad to the left or to the right to help with one handed use.
Why do you need to ask others if it's too big. Only you can answer that question. Everybody will have their own different opinions and in the end you'll still have to make up your own mind. Is it too big for you?
Another question comes to mind. When people buy skinny jeans to go with their iPhone, do they feel the need to poll the public if they look too tight? People who buy/wear skinny jeans should expect them to be tight. (I call them nut huggers... hence why people tend to wear them low). Anyways, if you buy a big phone its a big phone. simple. My gf has a big (.)(.) and a big ( ! ) but I knew that going into the relationship. Thats what I like so I went for i and I'm happy.
To wrap this up, only you can make that decision bro. You dont need to ask for others' opinions because we all have different taste and use our phones differently. This is why people should not just follow what other people think because you end up with a phone based on what others think whe. makingng your decision.. Thats the wrong way to decide. Personally I dont think its too big. it's supposed to be big for a reason. I'd keep it.

Haha nice. I've actually seen more women with the note then men. I bought my phone from a girl actually...
OP, people are buying it because its big. That's like saying "hey, does the galaxy mini seem small?"

too big
I think it's too big to be a cell phone and too small as a tablet :laugh:
I haven't actually held a Note II yet, but do plan on going into a store here soon and playing with the demo and possibly purchasing it.... BUT I did mess around with a Note I and almost bought it until I caught wind of the GNII.... I can honestly say that phone seemed like it was built for my hands.

I bought a humvee to go along with my note 2. Perhaps that car would be suitable for your phone

Came from the Evo OG and Evo LTE (see where I'm going) I personally like the bigger size.....great cross between a tablet and a phone. Only had it 2 days and really impressed with this operating system and tweaks so far. :good:
