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.

Thank you.
Anyone else?
I will Thank everyone who answers me
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

Hi guys,
I have Galaxy Note 2 and i like it and all. Don't think it's too big either, i like the size, i like the phone in general.. but..
I am pretty much broke and want to sell it off, I never really use the S-pen anyway either. Can you guys suggest another phone for me? I had an galaxy S2, and i really like that one too! Or should I go for something else?
Hope i posted in the correct forum

Not sure if you can wait. If so maybe wait a bit to see what is coming . Gs4 is around the corner and the xperia phobe are nolice as well.
At the moment, for the larger screen the droid dna is probably the best option. Then there is always nexus 4

The s2 or nexus 4. Should be similar in price for good condition.

s2 is the cheapest choice it goes around 130 eu secondhand of course
Perhaps a controversial suggestion in these forums; but how about a Nokia Lumia 620? It does a much better job of being a phone than my Note 2. I use my Note 2 basically as my laptop...I wouldn't consider using it as my phone though given its size, price & complexity.
I also find that some of the core apps on the Lumia have no equal in the Android sphere (Nokia Drive works completely offline; Nokia Music is completely free - and you can store about 12 hours worth of offline music).
If only Android were a little more user friendly...

I vote for the Nexus 4. You're getting a great processor, and a guaranteed updates for a while. dollar for dollar / euro for euro, it can't be beat. If I were on a budget, I'd consider that... for 3 seconds... and buy it. But make sure you get a case! Some people who have dropped it have complained of shattering it. But I don't doubt that wouldn't happen with the Note 2 or any other device.
NEXUS 4 #FTW (that's cheaper than 400 bucks)
For cheap nothings better than nexus 4.
If you can afford or for everyone else buy xperia z or wait for s4

Im going to upgrade to a nexus 4 next week, i have a galaxy nexus that's in like new condition. I would like to keep it as a backup, but i feel that it would be a waste to have it just stashed away as a backup phone. What do you guys think? i looked on ebay and they seem to selling for around $200.

should definitely keep it as a back up you know just in case and plus in the future you might want to use it to try out Ubuntu phone OS, at least that's what i would do

Now that the whole Ubuntu thing is out finally for gnex an is just a non functioning demo I guess its safe to ditch the gnex as that was the only reason ppl held back on upgrading an getting a new phone or the fact their gnex wasn't that old, my iPhone 5 jailbroken with evasi0n on iOS 6.1.2 will get me by till the 2013 nexus arrives.

The nexus is selling for around 250. But I would still keep it. It is still a solid phone

I say sell it !! Reason behind that is simple, it would always remain a comparison between the nexus 4 and galaxy nexus IF U keep it !!
Else you dont have an option .. Haha

Still undecided , I will wait a few weeks and see how I like my nexus 4 if I don't have any issues with the nexus 4. My gnex is going.

I personally would sell it, to have a little extra money, but that's me.
In an ideal world, I'd keep it around as a toy, or perhaps to use as a media player. Hell, you could even use MHL with it to output it to your TV as a sort of wireless streaming media player.
I know someone asked this question once but the answer he got wasn't solid.
Okay so currently I am a MyTouch 4g user, and I plan of going in for a galaxy Nexus. where I live, selling of fake products is what they do best.
So I was wondering if I could get solid methods or ways of checking if the device is original. Like the MyTouch 4g, I opened terminal emulator and check the Emmc chip type since there were just two types, so if the phone had a different one than the two, I could know it was fake.
So pls send in your ideas.
Thanks

Never heard of a fake android phone myself. Where are you planning on buying it that you would be worried? The galaxy Nexus is a year and a half old, I doubt anyone would bother making a fake anymore.

Flash factory image (or any gnex rom) on it. If it works, its real. If it doesn't, its fake.

There are several Chinese manufactured android phones on the market,and they have the android os on it which support android apps but aren't original.
They normally lack the original features like they may say it 16 gig internal but its actually 30 mb,and all that.

And how can I tell the person I am buying the phone from to allow me to root, and flash a Rom before buying it. He won't agree. Lol.

I didn't even know they make a fake galaxy nexus....
So....
How about doing the opposite, go in to the store and tell them you want to buy a fake galaxy nexus... if they take the bait and show you one then at least you'll know what it looks like, ask them you explain what makes it fake and afterwards ask to see a real one.

I am not saying I have seen a fake galaxy nexus but I have seen a Chinese nexus 1 and a Chinese s3 mini and Chinese galaxy s duos. And they all run android, but they are Chinese , the use android 2.3 and rename it to android 4.0 and the internal memory is really small although u would see 16 gig or 32gig and to top it up it has multi-touch.

Hey guys I'm getting a new device in a few months. And my choice is weather the nexus 4 or the galaxy s4. So I'm wondering would you reccomend the s4 and if possible tell me some of the features you like about it. Even though I'll be building/flashing custom ROMs/kernel on what ever device I get I would still like to know some of the features you guys like so I can decide on which device to get

Tough to answer right now, in the next few months a few more new phones should be out. The Note 3, the nexus 5, the Moto X, maybe the LG G2, who knows what else...
Today? If your looking for the most powerful device in TMo's current lineup, price be damned, then the S4. If your on a budget, the Nexus 4 is just fine.
Note 3. I'll be getting it when it comes out and keeping my s4

Price doesn't matter much. Because my dad told me if I get good grade after my first trimester back at school he will buy me any phone I want. Since every one else in my family upgraded and I'm stuck with my olld sgs vibrant. And if the new nexus is out by then than I'll problebly get that bit I've been lookin at the s4 and the n4
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
S4 because it can be a higher powered nexus device if you want it to me. I converted my s4 to a s4 Google play edition and I'm on 4.3 and will get updates just as nexus devices do...
