Best phone made to date. Switch now!

Do it!! I recently switched from an s3 and am totally happy with the note 2. It's not a necessary upgrade but it's definitely a worthwhile upgrade in my opinion

Thanks Guys , i have ordered one today

Congrats!:laugh:Hope you like the beast phone

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is a awesome smartphone. It comes with 5.5-inch HD Super Amoled touchscreen display that supports 1280x720 pixel resolution natively which runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and other features also amazing.

Note 2 for sure!

Yes indeed. I am planning to sell my s3. But in my case the offers was 350 arouns the city. Some are selling 400-450 for brand new in the box. I dont know if Im gonna keep it. Im buying a used note2(n7100) for 500 in perfect condition. Is it a good deal for upgrading?

Im sorry i cant advice on prices......here in Italy the phones are much more expensive.
The only real differences between sgnote and s3 are the larger screen, the s pen functions and the battery. ..which is much better on the note 2.
For me both are very good devices.
I now have tried the asus padphone2 and i feel that it is even faster with its 2gb of ram.
Good luck

Anyone else considering going from the s3 to the note2?

Or is it just me? Really digging that big screen...

Im definitely getting one, my poor s3's only a month old. It still seems up in the air about whether or not VZW will get it though
Had a note1 then went to oneX and skipped the s3 because of such small difference between that and the HTC. Selling the oneX for the note2 for sure. My note1 just didn't have the power needed for me to keep it and the oneX but this new note should

That should be easy: S3. You'll find the S3 and note 2 to be too similar. Having the One X would be a better compliment to the Note 2

There is no doubt that this will be my next phone. My contract with sprint is up in Nov. Can I say happy.... Thanksgiving to me!!!!

both good phones, if it was me i would keep the s3 on the simple face that the notes are huge!
Just got my SIII this past week and already can't wait for the Note II, I hope the resale value doesn't tank beforehand.
I am definitely going to sell my S3 for Note II. I just miss s-pen a lot. Besides it will compliment my Note 10.1

I'm not sure yet but I think I'm gonna get a Note 2 and if I like it more than my S3 my poor litte S3 go bye bye.

absolutely not... the big screen is horrible for using the phoen as a phone... i carry a separate tablet for all my tablet needs...
Note 2 is awesome when compared to the First Note, thinking to switch.
I sold my Galaxy Note for S3 primarily because I wanted something smaller than Galaxy Note but at the sametime wanted something bigger screen than HTC 7 Mozart (3.8") or iPhone 5 (4"). So, I will not get the Galaxy Note 2.
I've already sold my GSIII for a good two weeks now! Just patiently waiting for Note II...

I also just got my S3 at launch and now going to jump ship to the Note II. I loooved the Note 1 but it was just a tad wide for me, but the minutely thinner N2 looks amazing.
I'm hoping my S3 will mostly fund the cost of the N2 at a non-upgrade price.
Anyone that's sold your S3, how much did you get for it? I have an AT&T version but lots of goodies with it.
note2 ftw!
besides the specs of note2 over s3, i prefer the productivity suite of apps that its offering. i won't be needing more pens and papers with this phablet.
this is just enough for me. before i was thinking of buying a table since i already have my ever loyal and still functioning s1 (gt-i9000). then again, most of the tablets with android seems to be missing the phone functionalities (text/sms, call, 3g/4g). only a few of them matches, but not like the note2.
heck, i was even torned between note2 and the superphone lg optimus g. but then again, i buy gadgets based on what i need and its usability. that is how i prefer it.
Will preorder the Note2 on tuesday, the starting price is 629 euro`s in the Netherlands atm. Will sell my S3 this weekend. Very excited about the GN2, the dualcore cpu in the GN1 was not powerfull enough to process all those pixels as it should and felt laggy at times. This should be fixed in the GN2 :victory:

Give ur suggestions about which is the best phone to have with the note 2?

I mean to ask the 2nd phone to have with the note 2.I already have the note 2 and i want to buy a 2nd phone along with my note 2.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Well, to be honest I don't see the necessity of having two Android phones especially when you hold the top Android phone already in your hands. Buy a cheap phone for calls/text if that is your case. Buy an iPhone 5 to get the best of both worlds. Lol. HTC J Butterfly is a competition for the Note 2. Droid Razr Maxx HD for the greatest mAh battery for a phone.
Motorola razr m would be a good choice if something more portable is on ur mind..

iPhone 4s then. Will be cheap by now. But still no jailbreak though. Waiting for one on my iPad 3
Lumia 800 is dirt cheap now on payg. I might have to get one for times it would be dangerous to carry the note 2 and give me somewhere to put my 2nd sim. If only we had proper Google voice in the UK.

Im personally thinking of getting a nexus 4. (if they ever become available ) i know my note 2 is the best in a lot of ways but i can never have just one phone for extended periods of time. I think the smaller size and stock Android is a great second phone, especially if you don't like rooting and romming.

I used my note II along with a HTC One X and thought it was a great companion phone. Only thing that bothered me was the standby time of the HoX being around 4 days with an hr of screen time.
I also use an htc one x and the note 2 together. Great combination because you get the bad ass screen of the one x and the functionality of the note 2. Plus i just wifi tether to my one x to save me having a second sin card

Along with Note 2 an iPhone 5 is the best option. I'm using both of them and I'm so happy.
Just don't get driven by fanboyism, buy what you like.

New phone suggestions! Cheap ones

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

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...

Get a nexus 4.. performance wise with cheap price...trust me you wont regret

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

[Opinion Needed] please come in

So hi guys
I recently got quite bored with my note 2
And sick of the fact that aosp wont ever be perfect on this phone because of Samsung notvreleasing sources...
And so I tried to trade it
I got an offer where I can get a 16gb used nexus 4 and around 125usd for my note 2
Do you guys think its worth the trade?
May I please have your opinions?
Thx
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
Perfect as in no spen features and such? Does the nexus 4 have spen to begin with. Basically u can install aosp rom and it will be exactly or not better then the nexus 4. Needless to say about the 5.5inch and long battery life. Why waste money on a downgrade when u can have the possibility of an upcoming dual boot kernal coming in.

WTF ?
The gnex has a 1.4ghz processor.
Please watch a nexus 4 vs note 2 video. Or a benchmark.
Note 2 is far better then nexus 4.
Also I heard nexus 4 has a pretty bad camera.

Sure. Asking this question in a forum of Note II owners isn't going to help you any. Everyone (like myself) has paid a lot of money for the phone so of course we're going to defend it (no one likes to think they purchased a lemon)
You'd better off looking in the phone you want to trade for and reading their opinions. Everyone phone sounds perfect on paper but when you get it has issues. Remember that.

Would you sell your Note II for the S4?

Hi,
I am a Note II owner, and i have been considering selling my Note 2 for the S4,
Although i would hate to depart with the 5.5 inch screen
Will any of you be selling your N2 for S4?. as i doubt we will get most of the new features on the S4 on the note 2 ;(
and that octa CPU makes me drool

I will never buy a device with an AMOLED screen again!
We have luck we have Perseus kernel, so colors look natural, but still its not bright and burns in.

The Note 2 can receive all the new software, but the SG4 will never receive the big screen. The Note 3 is the big dream...
No way will I sell my note 2 and add extra to get an S4. However, if someone wants to exchange then I might. The extra score on benchmarks and few gimmicky features just aren't enough for me to invest more money.

Nope. Definitely i won't be changing it, Maybe the Note 3, but certainly the S4 i'll pass. I don't feel the need to do it, since, much i've already got in my note2, and if 4.2.2 and the S Drive comes to the Note 2, i am sure i won't need it!
Plus the Screen, i just LOVE bigger screens, whenever i get an S3 on my hands it feels like it's so small!
