Hi guys, I have the S3 i9300 right now and was looking at the Note 2. Can someone else who has made the jump comment on it? Do you regret it at all?

Regrets? Hell no.
Theres so many amazing things about the note 2 but I dont feel like writing for years. But the S3 is also great so either way youre in good position.

I changed my S III for Note 2 also. The only feature that i am missing in S III now is the smaller more handy size against the punch of stylus & new features is not comparable to the S III. It is all about your needs!
I have both the s3 and Note2 in front of me right now, I will be keeping both for the forseeable future, not sure if I will use the s3 much now, but I like to have the option.

Yes, it does. Once you select the languages that you want, you can switch between them by long pressing the space bar.
Why
Sorry for the thread jack.
To the guys who've upgraded.
What do you like more about the Note compared to the S3
I've currently got the OG Note and can get the Note 2 or S3 tomorrow, but I'm not sure if there is such a big difference compared to the S3 as there was with the OG note and the S2?

I'm sure Apple fanboy will say otherwise, but I'm not one. The question is why the US get it so late. This is what we get to have a kimchi company making a better phone. But yea the screen will be significantly better, a non-pentile AMOLED. I'm glad I waited instead of trying to get GS3 earlier.

Seriously? I managed to pull off 4 days out of my S3 with light usage (45min screen on), are you telling me Note 2 has it even better?

Yes.
The battery on Note II is huge! You can easily get 15 hours with very heavy use!
Been using both for the last week its not the same phone note II is a much more creative phone but it is to me a little too big!
The battery is a little bit better but not that much better maybe it will improve with custom rom and kernel

If you can handle the size and forking out more cash then yes otherwise no.
The only major criticism I have against the note 2 is the screen sharpness, the text just doesnt look as crisp as it doescon the S3.
Everything else is better, faster and smoother on the note 2.
Should I get the
- Samsung Galaxy Note 2
- Samsung Galaxy S 3
or
Wait for Galaxy note 3.. or wait for Galaxy S4 ?
I'm not sure when the GN3 and GS4 are coming out.. so I dont know if I even should wait.
I really need and want a phone right now as my other android phone's screen is pretty cracked.
I dont mind the size.. so Idk which one I should get..
Does the Note2 have as much development as the SGS3? I'm into the whole dev kinda thing.. im not here to buy a phone to keep it stock.
-----> I will thank everyone's posts <-------
The Galaxy S4 won't be out for at least several months and the Note 2 is only a couple of months old, so the Note 3 is a way off yet.
As far as development goes, check out the development section of the Note 2 forum, it's very active. Having said that, the stock software on the Note 2 is pretty good, especially if you want to take advantage of the S-Pen.

Anyone else?

I am in the same shoes as you... Almost. I currently have an S3 and just bought the Note 2 also. I am contemplating if I should keep the Note 2 and sell the S3 or just return the Note 2 and preserve my upgrade for the S4 or N3.
I don't know why you would want one or the other but let me tell you what motivates me. I want the Fastest phone, best battery life. The Note 2 does that. The thing I didn't count on was actually coming to a conclusion that a 5.5 inch screen wasn't too big.
So it depends what floats your boat.

If I do sell one it will be the S3 and it will be in the next 3 days most likely. My 14 days is up on the Note on Saturday so I have to make a decision by then. I will pm you if I decide to sell the S3.

I had a S2 first before i bought my new note2, all in all it depend on what you wish for. We can answer or decide for you which is better. Thing that you have too keep in mind and ask your self are. 1. Will you be confortable having a big phone?, if not a S3 seems perfectly. My case , everybody seems to have a laugh at my big phone, some like it a lot, others find it just too much. But when i put on a show with it, they are like damnnnn.
The only problem with the note is when you have it, you most likely never would go back to a smaller phone again.you will feel strange having a S3, or 2 in hand.
im coming from the s3 which is a great phone but you wont regret note 2 bro its AWESOME:highfive::highfive:
Got both and whole heartedly recommend the Note 2
Go for the note 2 !! you wont regret it :good::good::good:
Coming from my s2 which is still very good. The galaxy note 2 is amazing an makes my old phone look slow. Better battery life faster in all aspects download ing etc. Once u use one u won't want to swap. Big or not it still the best phablet on the market.

Just gone from the desire hd to the note 2. Wouldnt ever go back to a smaller screened phone again. Even the girlfriends S3 looks tiny compared to the note 2 but after a few days you get so used to it, you couldnt use anything smaller. The iphone looks miniscule compared aswell. Have to laugh everytime I see one

I hear the Note 4 will be awesome. Why not wait for it? There will always be a better phone on the horizon.
You could just buy the Note2 now, sell it as soon as the Note3 comes out and you will have most of the Note3 paid for.
Lol at the sarcasm. Umm I recently got it and love every bit of it, and don't see any chance of regretting in the futures. I tend to regret if there are issues or anything I am unhappy with, but NONE so far

You never going to get anywhere playing the "waiting game" with Android.. most def with HTC.. HTC One X, V,S den One X+ and now a Droid DNA, HTC J Butterfly.. and a rumored HTC Deluxe aka GSM DNA
Its always going to be a better phone than the current version..
Lets say you wait another year... and the Note 3 doesn't have what you expected..

Get the Note 2. When you get bored, then get the Note 3. :victory:
if they do a note III. There might be something completely different in 12 months!
my personal opinion would be get note 2 now.
because its still new, holds value pretty well, but once we are in 2013, i would consider S4.
to be honest I change phone roughly every 2 years, and I just get the one that I will be happy with, that's future proof ish (eg. LTE) for 2 years.
Note 6 is the best! Full 1080p 3D screen, and the screen is FOLDABLE!
I'd wait!

Impressive trolling.
Do your research, make your mind up and stop expecting to be spoonfed. You give no info as to what your needs are, hence any advice from others is almost as pointless as your question.
This is a dev forum, not halp-me-no-know-wot-I-want-me-5-years-old.com.

Yes order the note 3 here,

Good luck & hope they make a good job of making it
i heard about the note 20 , it will include features such as teleportation, transoformation with a hit of a button, 100000mah battery 10 inch screen multiple quad cores in one and many other impressive features
Quad cores? Man who is your source? It has kilo-cores : 1024 cores

The Note2 is the best phone available today. I have used mine extensively for work and play, lots of travel and there is nothing that compares. My wife has an iPhne and my old GS2, and they both look like dinosaurs.

forgot to mention i didn't want to spend too much on this and plus i wouldn't consider the s4 because of smaller screen
If you don't want to spend to much go for the Note 2, it will get updated to the next android version plus is still a good phone overall. But if the big screen is a problem for you, look other brands like LG or HTC both have good phones. I will suggest other than the note the Nexus 4 but thats just my opinion.

For me pros of note 2 are: 2 gb ram,smoothness,touchwiz features like multiwindow..
Cons are looks like s3(i prefer rectangular shape like note 1 and s2),screen si not full HD.
How are the roms on this section of xda? that's a killer for me.....i'd like a vibrant community with plenty of ROM's and mods to offer
i like the oppo find 5 though

I don't like to much custom ROMs but I have flashed Paranoid and CM 10.1 Nightlies but none of them was good to me. So I use Android Rev. I think you could find great ROMs but I think there is not too many like in the Galaxy Y forum

Laggy device? I would hardly go that far...I played with a 5 for a day or so and a g2 note 3 and a few others, as much as I love nexus devices the note 3 and the 5 are neck and neck..kitkat does add some fluidity to the 5 but in no way shape or form does it blow the note 3 out of the water..

TouchWiz devices usually start to lag after a new flagship comes out (the old one will be updated with a newer system but the features will quickly bog the phone down), e.g. Galaxy S3 with Android 4.2 and 4.3.

I moved on from my Sprint Galaxy Nexus to a Nexus 5, I'm on T-Mobile now.
By the way, to anyone wondering which phone they should get?
Nothing compares to the Nexus 5.
Switching to T-Mobile and getting a Nexus 5 after work today. I can't wait.
I would love to switch to a Nexus 5 on T-Mobile. But from what I hear from other T-Mobile users in my area is the network coverage sucks. The people I work with have to go outside to make a call.

According to the coverage map, my area is pretty good. But isn't T-mobile going through some stuff to boost their network? I thought there was some news about them buying towers or something from Verizon. I can't remember. It can't be any worse than AT&T was in my area when I was on that.

Well it depends on your setup and eyes. But simple things like flicking around the home screen, scrolling in widgets lag on the note 3 but not on the nexus 5 if you put them side by side.
Then again the note 3 I seen might be a different variant from yours, which also probably comes with a different regional software too.

I'm still considering this one myself, did it take you a long time to get used to the extra device width? I'm thinking it might put quite a bit of extra strain on your thumb when using it single-handed.

I have no issues with it. I like how it feels. But if that's something you may have an issue with, I'd suggest going into a store where they have it on display and check it out in person.

Battery life is fine for me. Compared to the galaxy nexus, its a lot better. I can get through a whole day easily with the Nexus 5. Something I couldn't do with the gnex. Everyone's going to have a different experience though.
