Big problem!!

I have a big problem. I'm in the market for a new phone. I want the galaxy note 2, however on black friday Sam's club is having 96 cent deal on Galaxy s 3. I'm still leaning toward the note 2, however, How do I not pass up the 96 cent Galaxy S 3? I hate my life.

really?
you hate your life because .... you have the option of a cheap S3 or a note2?? wow talk about first world problems ...

Buy the galaxy s3, then sell it (before using it) add some money and buy the note 2

96 cents for a phone is crazy... id say go for that. its barely a buck... and yeah ure a moron at the same time .

There is absolutely nothing wrong with getting the galaxy S3. The Note 2 is basically a the Galaxy S3 on steroids. If your getting the S3 through a US carrier, your getting a toned down version of the Quad, International S3.
Heres some factors you might want to consider:
1) Financial: If you have an extra $200 to spend, then by all means spend it on a Note 2 (better build quality and performance). If money is tight, get the S3, which is still a beast and no slouch by any means. That extra $200 can be used to get a great case, pay the cell bill, etc
2) Size: Do you prefer a more "portable" devices such as the S3, which is easier to use for 1-Handed Operations and doesn't bulge out of your pants/jeans as much. If size is of no concern, then get the Note 2 which is not as 1-Handed friendly and takes up 1 whole side of your pocket in your jeans/pants.
3) Battery Life: The Note 2 will probably get you through the day with moderate to heavy use without dying on you. The S3 might need a charge before the day is over. The Note 2's battery is just a juggernaut.
Basically, it's like getting a helicopter (S3) or getting a apache helicopter (Note 2).

Nothing made sense until you mentioned the apache helicopter
But what you said is true. Both great, can't really go wrong.

Go for the S3 and sell it toward a Note 2

Get the american S3 and you can run CM10 flawlessy on it as opposed to the international S3 and Gnote1 and 2 which will never run it well.

Everyone should have a Note II

First world problems?

Man I can say about monetary issues, but note 2 is a clear winner, if ur ok with size, its a beast the best thing to happen to smartphones after the hd2

Sg3 over note 2?

I posted this over on the note 2 section and someone thought I should put this on here too. Sg3 with jelly bean for $99 or note 2 for $289. It's an upgradable line. Difference of 190 bucks. Opinions are welcomed.

The Note 2 is a beast. Yea they're very similar but using both, I can definitely feel the quad core performance advantage on the Note 2. Side by side I could also tell a distinct difference in the brightness and saturation of the screen. And probably the biggest difference is the battery. You can literally go days on one charge with heavy use. The GS3, not so much. If you're into phablets, def go with the Note 2.

I had Note 2 to play around with for a couple of weeks and I've owned SGS3 since July. I thought the Note 2 was solid but it was just too darn big for my liking. That was pretty much the only issue I had with the Note 2. I love how big the Note 2 screen is and all but I hated walking around with it in my pants pocket.

These two posts hit my experience with the Note 2 right on the head.
Like X_Fact0r, I've had the S3 since July. I decided to give the Note 2 a try and while it's a GREAT phone, I just couldn't get past the size. If someone has already had the S3, it feels like the Note 2 is just a S3 on steroids. For me, it wasn't worth the nearly $700 off-contract price to feel like I was just getting a bigger screen and I returned it. I also didn't think I'd use the S-Pen very much, although if I'd kept it for good, I may have found that it was really useful.
Add to that how good the development is for the S3, and I just decided to stick with it. But I'm not bashing the Note 2 at all. It worked flawlessly and if you don't mind having a small tablet in your pocket, it's a great choice. But I LOVE my S3, so I stuck with it.

Very interesting to see how the S3 people feel about this as opposed to the Note II users.
Mainly it looks like it's just a size issue here. And for the Note II guys, they thought the same until they put it to good use; multi-tasking and such.
I'd like to hear from more people.. For the sake of knowing.
& thanks OP for posting over here as well.

I played with one at best buy and it honestly I say gs3. Not to get all Apple but it was difficult to use one handed which is nice about the gs3 is that it is perfect size just pushing the boundaries of comfort. Also the price tag IMO is inexcusable. The note II might be a better phone but with the gs3 I feel you are getting your monies worth for what we pay. The note II did seem more durable than the sgs3 issue solved with a d30 case though

I am sure had I owned one I would change my opinion and adapted to the size...still I say gs3

To me the Note 2 is a better phone. Size, pen, battery life and quad core are awesome!
For the money an S3 for 99 is a great deal. For instance if a Note 2 user would offer me their Note 2 if I gave them my S3 and $200 I would keep the S3.
Pretty much that is why I still have the S3 today

That's exactly what it was for me. I'd gotten into the "bigger is better" mentality, but I found it was just too big for my tastes.
The odd thing, and this was just my experience, was that I expected with the quad core hype it would be the smoothest phone I could find. I actually ended up having some unexpected lag. This was just with the stock launcher, but it was still there. It must have just been an aberration, though.
My S3 is smooth as silk.

I'll take the s3 over n2 any day.

I have the GS III, my wife has the Note II. For me the size of the GS III is perfect, just on that edge of being too big. The note 2 however is just too big for my tastes, but then again my wife drops hers in her purse, so carrying it is not an issue. If I want a bigger screen I bust out my transformer tablet, or even worse my toshiba laptop.
But I do like both devices for what they are and what they are capable of doing. Now if your a BIT of an artist always looking for a canvas, then the note 2 is more for you. Just not for me. I love my GS III, that is until the next shiny thing that comes along...oh look a penny....

I have both, S3 from July and Note 2 from Nov. I like note 2 better.

I played with the note recently and I honestly don't think I could get over the size of that thing. I put it to my ear and it was like I literally had a book to my ear.

I've had my S3 since July, and now I wish I had waited for the Note 2 before signing up for a contract. I wonder if I can sell my S3 for $300 and pay the difference for a Note 2 at retail price. I don't mind the size. If anything is worth doing or achieving for you, then there's no reason to be embarrassed.

my GF has the GS3 and I have the note 2... I literally have spotify streaming music for 10 hrs per day on average... surf ebay and craigslist apps constantly at the same time... play videos and use the multiview ability all the time... sounds silly but its useful with whatsapp! I never turn anything off! I have wifi, BT, NFC, all motion, all samsung, no power saving, basically zero concern for battery draw and after 18 hours of constant use... I end my days with around 20% battery remaining! The GS3 is nothing close. Plus the raw power and freakish speed of the GN2 is unreal! I can scroll any list no matter the length at maximum speed and never induce even one shutter... wicked fast! So yeah... I'm sticking with the Note2.

I have a s3, 2 note 2s. s3 is a better bang for your buck but note 2 destroy s3 in

[Q] Note 2 or S4

Hi All
At the moment I am using HTC Sensation but am due for upgrade (3UK) Dont like HTc at the moment had lots of problems so thought I would give Samsung a try.
I have never had a Samsung phone so am undecided about which to go for. I like the screen size on the Note 2 and from what I have heard the battery is great (HTC Crap) I use it for internet a lot and email ,when i have my Tablet I would use it to tether if this is possible with the note. Watch some video nd use word documents.
I can get either the Note 2 or S4 as free upgrade so any advice would be appreciated as to which is best. My main requirement is battery, the HTC I had to carry two batteries to last the day...
Thanks all.

Battery - undoubtedly go for Note II. No second thoughts there. Hands down has the best battery life of all phones except Droid Razr (which lacks quite a few features of N2).
If you like the screen size, and battery life is your priority, it's a no brainer IMO.

I've just had to make the sane decision as you. I'm also in 3 and I decided on the note 2 for screen and battery and after a week I made the right choice. After it being off charge since 7am this morning it's now 8 at night and I have 52% left.

I just made this decision, went with N2. It's already ready to go development wise and you don't have to worry about new phone hiccups or wait a long time for a proper portfolio of accessories. Plus the bigger screen, s pen, and most likely better battery make it worth it to me.
But if you're a stock ROM guy, really want 1080p res, or want the new CPU architecture, then S4's the way to go.

Buy a note 2...no contest here. Its got nice screen, big screen, big battery, s pen and just about all s4 software features are coming.

I was also a HTC addict. But was really disappointed with their take on battery and storage. I was tempted by the s3, no s4 in January, but I wanted the big screen. Believe me every day I'm so glad I got the note 2. If I had to choose today between the s4 and the note 2 is still choose the note.
As long as you are happy with size pick the note.
Enjoy.

My words exactly!

3 UK have now discontinued the Note 2 on their website........

I've had this same question roaming around my mind for a bit now. Since T-Mo is ending contrancts if you want to end and go on your own. My wife and I are eleigible for an upgrade in June.... not free but if we get a new phone T-Mo is making changes where we would be paying about $20 a month to pay off whatever phone we choose, and that will actually still be cheaper then our plan now. I was thinking about waiting it out for the note 3 but I honestly don't have the patience for that. Went in a T-Mo store yesterday and dude told me it won't be until November most likely until the Note 3 get dropped. I can't wait that long..... I'm getting the Note 2 over S4 and probably sell it in September or October and use that money to get the Note 3.
Notes are big, almost too big but from what I have read peeps love them. Probably take some time to get used to them but I'll learn

Yeah, the size was initially scaring me too, but I got used to it real quick and now would definately miss the screen estate on a smaller device.
Actually the S4 felt like a small toy when I tried it in a shop (also due to low weight).

I admit that it's slightly (again, slightly - and I've not got the biggest of hands either) awkward to hold at times, but the positives by far outweigh the cons for me. I'm a big time reader (mostly comics ) and watch movies on my device. My hands get tired like hell while using tablets and my eyes hurt while using the tiny sized devices - Note II hits the sweet spot for me And I don't have to camp near a recharge socket either.

Bought a s4 for my wife yesterday and played with for 30 min.
Just 1 thing: note2 is better believe me BUT s4 has a good camera tbh xD

I currently use the s4 AND the galaxy note 2. The s4 is an AWESOME device that can hold it's own weight BUT the battery life doesn't compare to the note 2 and that .5 inch screen difference is MAJOR! Although, I must say the s4's 1080p hd screen is beautiful!

I also went ot S4 from N2
My only complain with the Note II was when i was on the train and holding on to something it was difficult to one handed use the phone other wise I loved the device. The screen resolution on the S4 is a huge improvement. I do miss the screen size on my Note II. Would love to get the Note III but I hear that its getting even bigger and I just cant handle any bigger then what it is already. For travel I could not beat the Note II for watching videos on planes or in hotel. for map navigation it was awesome.

I had my n2 for the longest time. then i got s4 when it just came out. didn't really like it since there was not that many roms/mods at first. so i ended up giving it to my first s4 to my wife and keeping my n2. but development for s4 has gone a long way that i sold my n2 and now have two s4.... :victory:
pros s4:
smaller size for better handling
1080p
13mp cam
ir blaster
pros n2
large screen.
large battery

I have gone S3 > Note II > back to the S3 > S4
I sold off the Note II bc I really never found a use for the pen. Loved the BIG screen and did not mind the BIG phone. Sold it while I could still get what I paid for it and tucked away the cash in anticipation of the S4 release. Scored my S4 off Craigslist and have been very happy with it. I had the Samsung flip cover on my S3 and love the new functionality of the S-view cover for the S4. The bigger S4 screen is nice. As others have said the smaller phone size vs the N2 is a pro. And the new screen resolution is awesome. IMHO - if you use the S-pen a lot stick with your N2. If not go S4

Gotta say, I miss my giant screen, but specs make up for that!

I had the note 2. I do miss the size but this s4 seems so much better. Another thing I miss is s note. I cant edit any of my s notes on this phone and I dont think theres a way for s note to work on this phone. But other than those 2 things this is an amazing phone.

Would you still buy a Note 2?

Hi all,
I sold my Note 1 last week, since it was dying on me constantly and I needed a new one. Of course I couldn't simply downgrade to a smaller phone, and I've received a good offer for my Upgrade. I was going to get the Note 2 for £23 a month for the next two years.
Now I know the Note 3 has just come out, but at it's current price tag (£42 a month +) I just couldn't afford it.
Would it still be a good choice to upgrade to the Note 2 for the next two years? All I want is a solid productive phone with a great battery life, something my Note 1 didn't have.
Thanks in advance!

go for note2 if your budget does not permit a lot is expected with the official 4.3 update and then kitkat rolling soon next year

Let's see, I always brought my Note II with me at work.
And the working hours are 8:30am to 1pm and 2pm to 5:30pm
At the end of my work I still have 70 to 80 battery percent with Mobile Data turned on all day.
So yeah, I would still buy Note II if I had Note I and couldn't afford Note III.
But if you're someone who's itching to try out Note III, sometime along the way you'll be like "I wish I bought Note III"
Anyway, Note II is a good phone, actually almost perfect. You can survive the whole day with this guy.
Aside from battery, it's very responsive and fast.
Plus, it's never bad to upgrade hehe.
Assuming you're not a gadget/phone hungry guy, go for Note II bro.

I agree, the Note 2 is still an excellent phone. I strongly recommend to buy the LTE version (N7105).
On the other hand, if you don't like Samsung's monopolist tendency (like I don't), the LG G2 seems to be a great, affordable option. Could be my next phone (or the Nexus 5 once it's available).
Good luck

Buy a note 2 now. It's as cheap as it will get. Note 3 does not bring much to the table, you still can't see pixels in 720p and you can scale your UI however you like it using a launcher so 1080p on small devices is pretty much useless.
Battery life is ridiculously long comparing it to any other smartphone.
May not be as beautifuly crafted even as a HOX but at least they work.
It's a cheap phone that's very powerful and also does the job of a 7" tablet well. Also there's a neat stylus that does all sorts of cool stuff. Also new update soon including most of note 3's new software.

Go for it, the prices have dropped to reasonable levels too.
You had a Note, so the size will be a non issue.
The only minor regret I have, is that looks and aesthetics matter to me more than I thought it did.
Slap the official protective cover, and I love it again

Thanks for all of your responses guys!
I've decided to take the plunge and have ordered the Note 2
Looks like I'll be rooting it as soon as I get my hands on it

Looks like I've received the 4G Note 2 (GT-N7105)..
Anyone know if there is any disadvantages to this? I don't mind the 4G, but I really do not want battery life to be affected, mainly because I'll be using Wi-Fi and don't have a 4g plan anyway.
Any ideas on whether I should give it back for an N7100?
Thanks!

No way should you give it back. I have the 7105 and don't have a 4g plan either but will maybe get one on my next contract.
Imo the 7105 will be worth more in trade in and your still going to use it non lte so the battery issue is not an issue.
As long as you don't want fm radio keep and enjoy what you got.
Let us know how you get on.

I wouldve recommended the Note 3 if not for that ugly looking bezel.

My two cents:
I have an Xperia Z and a Note 2, and recently bought an S4, after mulling a bit over the Note 3. I found that my Note 2 betters the S4, and beats the Xperia too. The Note 3 for me did not offer any thing new that I could find interesting. The Note 2 is still an awesome device, and I won't be letting it go for a while.
The main plus the N3 has over N2 (for me) is a better display. For my everyday use (office stuff, light gaming, music) the N2 is great, the battery rocks, and the 8mp camera is decent enough (and better than the Xperia's in many aspects - not kidding! ). I would recommend this phone any day! :thumbup:
