Im sure the senior members are sick of the old s3 vs note 2 but i am stuck, i dont really have enough money to buy the note 2 so i was going to get an s3 i have also noticed that the s3 development section is more active and i plan on making my own roms soon so i figured i would ask in the more experienced fourm should i get the s3 or try to save up another 100$ to get the note 2 and dev for that? i plan on porting everything to the note 2 if possible since my brother has a verizon note 2 thanks for reading

IMO I say the sg3. I went into T-Mobile planning on getting the note 2 but after I played with it I just didn't find the size practical for everyday use. Just my 2 cents

I wanted the note 2 since I currently have the sgs3, but the price was just a tad to high for me to come up with.. Plus the sgs3 is just the perfect size

Stick with the S3 because what most people don't know is that the S3 has a higher pixel density than the Note2 so what the heck am i paying a higher price of almost $800 for if pixel density of gs3 is less than gs3? when you are watching a high def movie you want to make ever pixel density count man and the things look exactly alike one is just 5.5inch another is 4.8 inches really no big difference to be going after note 2 and btw i think the gs3 xda development is not all that active compared to how active the gs2 xda forum was when i had a gs2. Also most of the roms in the gs3 xda section kind of suck and have issues, very few are close to perfect like the liquidsmooth rom i enjoyed, i also enjoyed the note 2.
Btw, good luck on rom development because I wish i knew how i can develop my own, I am very picky and have to have everything perfect or near perfect so i will make a good rom if only i knew how to cook my own custom rom. Some folks who make roms dont take time to look into issues or fix flaws.
Btw, the best roms for the galaxy s3 are being made for the international quad core version the i9000 series so thats probably why i don't see very good roms for gs3 in dev section.

Actually the Galaxy Note have a better display than the Galaxy S3. On paper the s3 sounds better with a higher pixel density. In reality the S3 still uses pentile display while the Note 2 uses the much better tradition RGB. I have them both for comparison. When you zoom in in pictures or video you can definitely see the Note 2 have a more superior display.

You are obviously a clueless kid that has no idea what is going on. Which roms suck? Maybe before you take shots at the devs you should learn what the hell you are talking about. If you need help ask for it instead of making idiotic blanket statements.
Good grief... It's no wonder the devs get a little moody from time to time. It is because of uneducated posts like yours. Try being a little more grateful that people are willing to share their work for free. Contribute something other than your whining.
Sorry for the mini rant, but your post just rubbed me the wrong way. Again, if you need help ask.

Just because they announce the Note 2 doesn't mean we will see it stateside for months.

That's tough. I have both, the S3 is faster and the screen is crisper. But having that much realestate on the Note is so nice!
The S3 seems so tiny. lol
I honestly never understood the market for the Galaxy Note, I know everyone has different tastes and needs, yes it has a 5.3 inch screen and S-Pen, but seriously if screen size is such a major factor you might as well hold up a nexus 7 to your head..Least thats how I feel, the 4.8 on the S III i think is really pushing the limits when it comes to phones, beyond 5 I feel it might as well be a tablet...so personally I'd say the S III if you find that you like the note then wait for the Note 2 to come stateside.
The Note was a great phone but a tad bulky to be comfortable. I thought it was great at first but started missing the size of my skyrocket. There will be tons of accessories and development for the S3 as well.
Sent from my i747 running CM10
i would still suggest to wait until August 29 to see what the Galaxy Note 2 will offer.
if it has the potential to offer a lot, i would get that phone. but if not, get the S3.
and there's also the re-stocking fee to keep in mind with if you decide to get a phone right away, then return it for a different device.
I'll be getting Gnote for now. Thank you everyone for you input.

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.

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.

You posted this in the Note II forum, so I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the majority will say the Note II is better...me first! The Note II is also newer and thus will have less development at the moment, but it will surely pick up.
Note 2
The difference between the Galaxy S3 and the Galaxy Note 2 are the Note 2 has a 5.5 inch screen and the S3 has a 4.8 inch screen. The Note 2 has a 1.6 GHz Quad Core processor and the S3 has a 1.4 GHz Dual Core (so the Note 2 is faster and can better multitask).

Overall size (implied by a larger screen) was somewhat of a concern to me, but I am wayyyyyyyyy past that after a few weeks now. Quad core is what really sold me on the Note II. Get the Note II and don't look back.

More importantly the bigger screen isn't the crappy pentile arrangement, even in the Sprint store side by side I was surprised how much better the N2 screen looked. Ofc, there was nothing there explaining what and why the n2 looked way better.

Your choice will depend on what you want from your device?
I had the S3 prior to getting the Note 2 and loved it. Right now there Is more dev support on it. The Note 2 has more of what I was looking for. Bigger screen and s pen was the main factor for my choice. I do a lot of online reading and use the s pen for note taking. It would be nice if there were more choices on the dev side, but that will come with patience.
Which one Is better? Both great devices. the one that is better is the one that fits your needs the best.
Good luck.

I traded in my Awesome S3 for a Note. I am glad I did, but there are tradeoffs.
Here's a month old guide which gives a detailed, and almost geeky enough for me, description of the differences:
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_iii_vs_galaxy_note_ii-review-830.php
I have a Tab 7 Plus and used it via the wifi on my Epic 4G and then S3. I won't do that anymore because the Note does most of what the Tab did almost as well and some of them better. Kindle Books, for example, are better. Reading "The Mongoliad" on the Note 2 is easier on the Note than either the S3 or the 7" Tab Plus. It's a good compromise between size and portability. The Tab got heavy after a while and the S3 made me turn pages more than I want to. Some work needs to be done on Amazon's side because I want the auto screen rotation to turn off via the app and not through system settings when I read ebooks.
S3 in my front pocket. The Note is ok in my front pocket, but I do feel it constraining me when going up steps and such.
To me the note 2 is slightly better. But i think the s3 mite be a better choice for the 0$ to $49.99 there being sold for this weekend vs the $250+ the note is selling for

Well I had no upgrade available because I wasted it on the evo lte.. uhg sorry that phone does not deserve to be called evo but anyways pick up a new in box note for 400$ on craigslist and the sg3 would have still cost 250-350$

Both are awesome devices... I had the S3 and loved it but for me bigger is better... I use my phone pretty much for everything and the larger screen is a must have for movies & YouTube... I'm a big guy so no issues with feel... The Note 2 is a can't miss device and the devs are starting to flock to it...

I have the S3 and I'm tired of the piss-poor WiFi and BT reception. I had my roommate test his WiFi at various places in our house with his N2 and it seems to have the same crap reception. I have confirmed this on about 6 different Samsung Android phones now. When compared side by side to the Evo 4G and Evo 3D, every Samsung phone is put to shame... blah. I will probably still switch to the N2 anywsys because of the CPU and screen. I hate pentile.
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.

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.

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.

I won a free galaxy s3 for Christmas through my job(sprint) but i currently have a galaxy nexus. I'm torn between the two. The gs3 has more ram and a faster processor but little to no support for 4.2. Im addicted to 4.2 and most the ROMs for the gs3 or in some form based on touchwiz which i absolutely hate. From a quick look the ROMs based on aosp or cm10 are either still in the early stages of beta or not enough attention is given to developer or his work to motivate for further development. I guess im just spoiled by such a broad range of choices with nexus devices that I'm having to come here to ask for advise or input on what you guys think about the gs3 as a daily phone vs the gnex.

Pixels have nothing (or at least very little)to do with it its the display size, brightness and tech that affect battery life. Resolution is unchanging.

But the GPU needs more juice to push more pixels. Granted that they are using smaller nm scales for SoCs now which means more performance for less power however the extra effort for the resolution could negate this. Let's hope you're right and at worst battery life stays the same!

I won a free galaxy s3 for Christmas through my job(sprint) but i currently have a galaxy nexus. I'm torn between the two. The gs3 has more ram and a faster processor but little to no support for 4.2. Im addicted to 4.2 and most the ROMs for the gs3 or in some form based on touchwiz which i absolutely hate. From a quick look the ROMs based on aosp or cm10 are either still in the early stages of beta or not enough attention is given to developer or his work to motivate for further development. I guess im just spoiled by such a broad range of choices with nexus devices that I'm having to come here to ask for advise or input on what you guys think about the gs3 as a daily phone vs the gnex.

if you don't mind changing ROM everyday or have the latest go SIII.. otherwise gnex is still the best choice
My nexus performs MUCH better than the GS3 ever did for me, granted, I was on T-Mobile, but Touchwiz and 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 are dreadful. I got a ton of FCs on the GS3 as well.
