I personally think its too big, I'm very happy with the E4GT's screen size, its basically perfect for me.

im getting one the same day it comes out, ive been waiting on this

5 inch screen lol. Really?

My only worry is we will have to wait longer for ICS because they will concentrate on the Note. I don't think I will jump ship. Something better is coming the second quarter.
On my Epic mobile phone.

May have to jump on this. One problem might be slower updates than normal due to the modified version of touchwiz that comes along with having the stylus

I would really love to have this bad boy but not on sprint. I will pass until later in the year to see what comes out on not just sprint but other carriers.
Also if sprint does infact put this out then they better put out the full specs and not try to hide the crippling they do aka E4GT. Sprint better be upfront and honest and not try to pull the wool over any eyes this time.
Cant wait until the true hardware specs comes out. Lets see if sprint uses a 6 year old chip in it like they did the E4GT aka cheaped out.

Holy ****. I'm in. It's been fun guys.

It looks like a version possibly for att has surfaced, but it uses a qualcomm cpu like the tmo gs2, hopefully that is not the case or this would be a downgrade. More display real-estate and pixel density with a lesser cpu, no thanks.
If this turns out to be the exynos, that is going to be a hard decision.

What was the E4GT specs that were different to you? I got what I expected to get. The TV out actually working right was a added bonus that my E4G was suppose to have.

Probably because of the exynos/lte incompatibility. Or is it HSPA+/Exynos incompatibility?

This phone will not sell well here. I have a hard enough time selling the epic touch at best buy because its size.
Actually you know what, if I put the epic, the note, and the iPhone side by side , customers will notice the puny screen on the iphone and go with the gs2 instead

CM9 ICS ROM for Rooted Galaxy Note!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoZ2djKmFxk&feature=uploademail
just saying..................

The next Nexus might be the Galaxy Nexus Plus. Here's the rumored specs.

When it comes to Samsung, they seemingly have a never ending supply of Android devices, blanketing the the smartphone market with phones in every spec, shape, size, and color. I guess that’s why this story makes a lot of sense. It’s been rumored since earlier this year that Samsung could be cooking up a refreshed Galaxy Nexus, to update the aging Nexus’ spec sheet. The boys at SamMobile got their hands on this spec sheet for the Samsung GT-I9260, with a model number fitting the device square between the current Galaxy Nexus (I9250), and the Galaxy S3 (I9300).

}
The spec sheet goes onto to list some upgrades to some the specs that many have felt held back the Galaxy Nexus from true greatness like it’s poor processor, horrible camera sensor, and lack of expandable memory. As you can see from the above spec sheet, an updated 1.5GHz (unspecified processor) A9 processor has been listed and could be the higher-end OMAP 4470 with beefier PowerVR SGX544 GPU. Also listed is an 8MP rear camera with 1.9MP front facing camera which, if bringing along with it an improved camera sensor, could mean drastically better picture quality. The display is also listed as matching that of the Galaxy S3, improving the quality of the original. The most shocking update is the inclusion of an SD card slot, something die-hard Android users have been vocal about the Galaxy Nexus lacking (along with any other new Android device launching without).
Exciting? Most definitely (if true). I guess the next question is, when will this Galaxy Nexus Plus be released and if it’s possible to have too many Nexus phones out at one time? Nah…
http://phandroid.com/2012/08/21/spec...xy-nexus-plus/

I doubt there will be an SD card.

I don't understand why google and apple are doing this knowing that phone companies are offering less and less data with their plans.
I did happen to get a 6gb plan at a good price, but these are few and far between. Many people only have like 1gb of data per month

Give me a quad core, a physical keyboard, and an sdcard slot and i'd ditch my gnex in a minute.

Hope the next Nexus doesnt get SD Card And if this rumors become true, i will not change my nexus just for some little improvemnts =/

I want a Nexus with an LCD like the one from the One X. That's the one thing I really miss from my One X. Well, the camera too.

What if they were to release two Nexuses?
Galaxy Nexus Plus, which is the cheaper model and a more expensive one with better specs?

Quadcores are overrated. Core to core dual cores are faster. And not very many things are optimized for more cores. Keyboards add bulks and on screen is much faster. And sdcard slot wouldn't be bad but your already living without one...
Sent From My Toro+ via RED Tapatalk

Coming from a Desire HD, the specs of this "Galaxy Nexus Plus" don't look too bad. However they don't seem to be that much of an improvement over the current Nexus. Even so, my next phone will definitely be the next Nexus.
Although I would like one, an SD card slot nearly certainly will not be included.

did anyone notices that this 'Plus' version comes before its successor?
samsung made the advance/plus version of their previous devices after they announce and sell their current flagship (S Advance, S2 Plus) why not on this one?
looks like the 'Real' next Nexus wasn't made by samsung..

just because i dont like sdcards. Personal opnion.

I would love the bump in specs I just hope they keep the on screen buttons. Can't wait to see the design. Also glad Samsung is building the Nexus, I think Sammy makes some sexy looking devices I just wish they would use slightly higher end materials to make their phones. But regardless the Nexus plus (if that is legit) will dominate.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus rocking CNA

The processor in the gnex now runs 4.1 buttery smooth. Compared to my previous Motorola and HTC products I could not be happier, I wont deviate from the nexus line in the future.

In terms of design, it'll probably take cues from the GSIII. I foresee a flat back for the first time ever, and the continuation of on-screen buttons.

Just before the Nexus 7 was released, there was a picture that leaked where people claimed it could be the new nexus 7. All the websites (cnet.com, slashgear, etc) published this rumor even though it was obvious from the pictures that it was a phone and not a tablet. It was an ASUS device, and I had suspected that it could be a nexus phone from ASUS. So maybe there will be other options for the next nexus? My personal request is that the external speaker be loud and crisp. HTC phones always seemed to have WONDERFUL external speakers. I got kind of spoiled from my last few phones in this regard, lol.

"The spec sheet goes onto to list some upgrades to some the specs that many have felt held back the Galaxy Nexus from true greatness like it’s poor processor, horrible camera sensor, and lack of expandable memory."
None of these have held back the GNexus (For me).
Poor Processor - It is on par with most phones out there (Other than the recently released GSIII and One X). I would rather see improvements in the OS before I care about a Quad Core processor (Which Google delivered with JB).
Horrible Camera Sensor - Best camera I have ever used in a phone. I guess people still think more MP equals better quality. The fact that I can snap quick pictures is good enough for me, and unless I blow them up on a 55" screen they look great just viewing from a PC or on my phone / tablet.
Lack of Expandable Memory - I may be a little biased for this one being that I am still on unlimited VZW 4G LTE, but I also have WiFi everywhere I go (Work, Home, basically anywhere I eat, hockey rink), so this doesn't bother me in the least. I have never used the 32GB internal to even half capacity nor have I come close yet with my Nexus 7 16GB. Maybe that is just me, but I still haven't seen too many people argue differently.
I am not saying that the Galaxy Nexus blew me away with it's specs, but being that it is stripped to the core software wise, I don't feel that I need too much in terms of RAM, CPU, etc.

I hope they move to e-IPS or S-IPS LCD.

I doubt any of these "upgrades" would induce a discernible difference in the real world. In fact, I am 99% sure I would not notice any difference in perfomance during everyday use with this Plus version.

Our note 2 next to samsung's newest 'phablets' the "mega"

So I saw this article of size comparisons between phones, most notably the new Samsung phones named "mega" 5.8 and 6.3 respectively.
Does this mean that the note 3 is NOT going to be coming in the 6.3 flavor, and all the fuzz about the samsung bluetooth controller supporting "up-to 6.3" devices was just for this new "mega" phablet?
Look at the pics and tell me what you guys think.

the galaxy note 2 is now officially a normal sized phone LOL but samsung ruined the 2 new phones by putting in dual core processors (we're not in 2011 anymore samsung)

It's more of a midrange note.. it doesn't matter to Samsung how they get their money

Those are small Galaxy Tab 2 - 7 inchers. Not big phones.

I am quite comfortable with my more powerful Note 2 over those.
There is no way I can rock over a 6 " phone. I mean miles well just get the Note8.0 and call it a day...
We have to eventually have a boundary, lol!
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

Yes I didn't want to compare the mega phones to ours, as ours has better specs, but I DID want to show what maybe a future note 3 might look like, in the sense that there was a probability that it would be 6.3 inches.
With that said, I used to think that 6.3 was not going to be much bigger than our phones, but looking at the pictures says otherwise. I am a big guy 6'1 and I don't think it would be practical to have such a big phone.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

I hope the Note 3 looks just like that. The 6.3" one. I think it looks awesome.

The manager at T-Mo said that the rumor is that the N3 will be 6.4 almost an inch bigger than the N2. She also said to expect it really soon in a couple of months...

The Note 3 will be 6.5 in with OLED 1080p slim bezel, New s pen input octa core. Final designs and testing being complete. The Note 3 won't just be a bigger S4
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

Depending on price and frequencies, I'd rock one as a small tablet on the TMobile $30 plan (using data only). It's a better price than any tablet plan. Worst case scenario it might work on the AT&T tablet plans. That's my backup if the TMobile plan gets pulled. I dislike voip but I dislike high bills even more.

I have my Nexus 7 got my tablet needs. No need to get any bigger of a phone. I already feel like a meathead walking around while talking on this phone. I couldn't imagine holding the 6.3 or rumored 6.4 Note. Just to big.
With that said, just get a Note, 8.0 that has built in phone capabilities.

It's funny to read all the "omg yura doof" comments...

No bigger for me. I just want faster performance and a better radio.

hopefully next SGS N3 will have bigger battery & better body design. we all know, how android is when it come to power mngmnt. picture of mega phablet on post #1 looks like a SGS N2 that'd been photoshoped. back button inverted. anyway, will display res size 1080p make real difference in daily use for average joe with smartphone ?

I giggle with confusion when people comment about users who talk on "big" devices, I chuckle in dismay when said owners of "big" devices say they "feel funny" talking on such a big device ............
-_-
Walking into a bar I hear "Is that a Note 2..... you're crazy that thing is too big"
In my head I would say .... ".... and you're out of line. ...^_^"...
Instead I did them one even better. ...I continued using my device and completely ignored him, in fact this is the first time I'm making reference to his comment and this was 10/12..... him and others can have a _/.... so many hypocrites and malnourished credulous followers. How do you get off saying a device screen is "too small"... yet later a device is "too big".. those sentiments are fine. ..however you missed the most important piece. . "For you".... get it ? The perfect device for you may not be the same for you. ..perhaps there are individuals who rather talk on a 10.1 in screen, while you prefer a smaller screen, why is either party concerned about the others preference? ??????? Irrelevant. Why voluntarily get a device or partake in something then speak negative and offer complaints, nobody forced you to get this phone. ..^_^
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

Really just makes me want a bigger Note. Now I just can't wait for the Note 3, since the Mega is a bit underpowered
noted for future reference on my Note 2

I prefer the larger screen on the Mega 6.3 but DPI is horrid. 1080P is a must these days. I don't mind the mid tier CPU since I don't game and prefer the longer battery life.

They didn't have a video, but the screen looks ok in the ubergizmo review's pictures.

Anyone jumping to Nexus 5?

Hello!
So now that Nexus 5 is officially available...anyone jumping ship :laugh:
I am thinking but the bigger battery(also replaceable) and bigger screen are making me think twice.
Things going for Nexus 5 are the "updates" ....so thinking and waiting for reviews...
I don't care much for the faster hardware as i usually don't play games much and 16 GB would be enough for me as my usage never exceeds 5 GB.
p.s. just thinking loud and sharing my thoughts ...please don't go ballistic on me

I doubt that I will. There's just not a compelling enough reason, and I bought my LG OG Pro with all it's features and 32GB internal memory, etc. for far less than the N5 16GB model!
No, it's nice, but not worth it.

Nope.. Let's see when Nexus 6 is released.. For now OG Pro is perfect for me.

Dat 5.5" screen + 32gb internal + external SD slot is what's keeping me from the Nexus 5.. Same as with the Nexus 4 and LGOG. My internal is half full and about half of my 64gb card is half full so I definitely need the storage space lol.

I have the F420L, and it makes me sad that there are very few developers working on the OGP and fewer still want anything to do with the F420 variants. The Nexus 5 has great software support from google and the dev community, but its hardware isn't that much better than the OGP to justify purchasing it right away.

Not really. Had my white (unbranded) OGP for only a month and loving it (looks and speed). The N5 just looks too plain for my taste and in white it doesn't look any better; Zebra complex.

Obviously just can't tolerate LG's late updates.

I really do miss the various roms I had on my S4. In addition, some kernels allow you to have 2 roms installed!
Mainly I miss development, and I sorta like how it looks (N5).
I am planning on buying one, then I will sell whatever I don't like :angel:

Would get an N5 if I didn't get the G Pro recently. I was coming from an Nexus 4. The 2300 battery might be an issue on the Nexus 5.

Well, I took G Pro for his big screen, perfect for watching tvshows and movies... so my answer is : no
Micro-SD slot is mandatory for me, or at least, 64gb internal memory !

I finally received my LG Optimus G Pro today, so all my previous comments have been based on speculation. I finally have had the chance to really use the device.
While I did enjoy the stock UI more than I anticipated, I ended up with CyanogenMod installed, which is what I had planned to do with the device. Coming from AMOLED devices in the past, I am extremely impressed with the LG's screen. I much prefer it, so for me, IPS is my new default standard. The color is far more balanced and reading on it (which I do quite a lot of) isn't as taxing on the eyes.
The sum of its parts makes the LG OG Pro the unsung gem in the smartphone world, IMO. I'm extremely pleased that I sold my S4 and even with the extras, such as the AT&T case that activates the phone when flipped open and sleeps the screen when closed (works fine on CM, btw) a dual USB car charger and some screen protectors, I still have $150 left over from the sale of my S4, and I doubled my internal storage capacity in the process.
If this device had a fully unlockable bootloader, I don't think I'd ever sell it. The S4 has cheap plastic trim, but it looks to me like the OG Pro has real metal. The camera shutter and flash works faster on the OG Pro than the S4.
All in all, there's not much compelling me to look at the N5. It costs more and gives me less of what I wanted.

Actually in my opinion there is no reason to jump to Nexus 5 until Dev support continues for this phone....saying that anyone has any estimates/predictions as how long will Cyanogen support will continue foe this nice phone? :highfive:

I don't see any reason why it would stop being supported. With Loki, we can continue to work around the bootloader, so I don't see any problem with future development, but there may be a major change in something that screws that up. If/when the bootloader is patched to prevent the Loki exploit from working, and if the bootloader is tied to major functions on the device, as it is in Samdung's S4, then we could have a problem.

S4 is the perfect phone.

I was using my buddies note 3, and it was way too uncomfortable to use, and the pixel density, and speakers sucked.
S4 is like an iPhone (size and usability wise), mixed with a note (bigger than iPhone).
Perfect phone. Never gonna buy another one.

The portal has leaked images and specs. Apparently, it'll be running the Snapdragon 810 that Samsung just scrapped for the S6 in favor of it's Exynos chipset.
I've got my eye on it

Asus Zen2 looks mighty interesting.
I'm considering this for my next phone, hopefully some dev will take a shine to it and concoct something.

Agreed. Still my daily driver. Definitely love the screen size to phone size ratio..perfect! Developers are still active for this phone (Thanks!). Looking forward to the S6, but it's hard to let go of this phone!

It is the perfect phone
I completely agree. I bought the S4 in 2013 (M919) and lost it. I waited for the S5 and seeing it was crap, I bought the S4 again.
Recently I broke the screen and thought I'd check out other phones.
After filtering my constraints :
- 5 inch max cause I use the phone one handed
- Micro SD
- Physical buttons
- Removable battery
- Full HD display
GSM Arena phone finder returned just one result. The S4
Guess this phone is going to be with me for a long time.

This phone has everything you need, man. Every time I think about upgrading I find some downside that makes me remember why I shelled out so much for the S4 in the first place; this phone has top notch specs that'll last for YEARS as long as you take care of it. I still have the original battery and charger, and I've only had to change screen protectors twice in almost two years. If I were to take off the Otterbox and screen protector, you wouldn't be able to spot the difference between my used S4 and a new one right out of the box.
I'm in no rush to upgrade. I think the only reason that I have anyway is to change it up and try something new. Pound for pound the S4 still holds it's own against current flagships.
