All I can say is wow. The display is beautiful just amazingly clear and sharp. The S4 Pro Krait is just a work horse. In the last month I did a few trades. S3, Evo lte, iphone 5 and lastly the Note 2. I found a winner and the phone feels great in the hands. Build quality is top notch. Looking forward to jellybean.

i traded in my photon for the G. absolutely loving this thing so far!
Omg note 2 is worth so much more than lgog I hope you got money on top of that trade.

Ya at first I thought amoled screens were the be all, end all. As soon as I saw LGOG I was like wow. Everything is so crisp and colors were natural. Did a lil research on the screen and it turns out that it's 100% RGB accurate. My laptop has IPS and its only 60%ish.

As much as I love my LGOG I still think my Note 2 is a far superior phone no matter which way you slice it.
Not to mention the LGOG is very unpopular and people are pretty much giving them away on eBay for under 300 bucks so like someone already mentioned, I hope you got some cash in return for your Note.

Not really sure about that. It's running an outdated chipset, but the only thing going for it is that massive battery.

Outdated? I still get quantum scores equal and sometimes better then the OG. I agree the Qualcomm processor is better then the Tegra 3 but a phone is more than just its chip.
My LG suffers from weak 4g signal. Wifi connection doesn't seem as smooth as with my Note 2. An example is web pages don't load as fast as my Note 2. Lets not even discuss the camera and video playback.
You want to talk about software features? I think not. S-pen? Let me stop there.

What ever chip it has weather its old or new, the thing performs great. I could show you some quantum scores if you want.
Like I said the lg optimus G has a great chip I won't argue that. But unfortunately a great chip doesn't help with a lot of the other Corky stuff my LG does.

The note 2 is cool and all and popular but I didn't want a phablet anymore. It was huge and just wanted to get rid of it ASAP even swap I didn't care. Hardware wise the lgog is king of android IMO. Just think of the performance with JB. LG did great with this phone and I'm very pleased I just love the fit in the hands. I'm sure we will see some bug fixes the phone has only been out a minute. BTW the s3 feels fragile in the hand maybe because of the plastics.

I look at it the opposite as you. I feel like Samsung will get it right with the Note 3. The screen is blurry and blue, its made of crap materials, it has an obsolete processor, hugh bezel and a stupid hardware button.

Not sure why you are even comparing the G to the Note 2. The Note 2 is in the Phaglet category and the G is in the Phone category. But, if you do want to compare... the G has better build quality, premium materials, better screen(true rgb and higher pixel count), better processors, better(not bigger or removable) battery and better one handed use. That's a lot of "betters".

I believe you meant" here". And the screenie was an indirect way to say "I'm satisfied with my LGOG, no complaints here." I have nothing negative to say as they're both fine devices in their respective classes.

I'm a bit undecided as to where I'm going. The Eclipse looks nice, as do the Nexii rumors, as do the EvoLTE and SGS3. I doubt I would want the GNote2 though, unless someone can convince me why it's not too big, especially since I already have a tablet.

Most of the devs working on Exynos (like codeworkx and Entropy512) can't stand it, so I think I will be avoiding that. Plus from a hardware standpoint, the quadcore A9 is about equivalent to dual core Krait, so quad core Krait will kick its ass. Plus the Adreno 320 GPU in the S4 Pro processors is supposedly as powerful as the Xbox 360's GPU. It is the fastest SOC on the market. Plus, 5.5 in is pretty big especially considering that I already have a tablet. Although, I have never used a note so I would probably at least give it a chance at Sprint.

I won't be switching to the iPhone 5 because I love T-Mobile, I love tinkering with Android, and because I love my SIII.
However, everyone keeps going on about how it looks the same as the 4s and I just can't agree with this. Yes, the front looks the same (just longer) but they really have updated the features that I hated about the 4/4s. For example, I thought it was ridiculous that they made the back of the 4 and 4s glass. It looked lame and was just one more piece to easily break. I also didn't like the silver bezel (not a fan of it on the SIII either).
Now that the bezel is black and the back of the phone is no longer glass, I am actually a fan of it. I especially like that it is a bit thinner than the 4/4s and skinnier than the SIII.
If I was a big iTunes user, needed my phone to seamlessly work with my Macbook Pro (Android sucks at this), and enjoyed the simplicity of IOS I would probably get it. But I'm definitely sticking with Android. The SIII is the most solid phone I've ever owned.

True that the SGS 3 might be like the iPhone 5, but I would take the SGS 3 over the 5 any day. The only nice thing I like about the 5 is the aluminum body and how solid it feels (if its anything like the 4). Other than that, they can have it

It's good enough for my purposes. It's technically more megs but less software. I think it's still excellent. Phones aren't meant to be amazing photo takers. But the clarity of the screen kills the S3.

I upgraded to this phone about a month ago, and my spouse got the GSIII. I love the phone and wouldn't trade it for anything. However, often my spouse asks me to do stuff for her on her phone, so I get to play with the GSIII pretty often. When I use her phone it seems so much smoother in its scrolling.
Is it just because it has a smaller screen? Has anyone else noticed that? Not a big deal for me, I still don't want a GSIII, but it is just something I noticed. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

How can you get smoother than perfectly smooth? I recommend another launcher like Nova.
Launcher, screen transition effects, widgets, and use of live wallpapers will affect smoothness. Compare similar setups, then decide. My Note 2 is smoother than my wifes GS3.

You're the only person who actually brought up the processor difference! Even tho the GS3 is a dualcore you guys have to remember it has a newer chip Snapdragon S4 Krait then the one on our Quadcore Note 2. Which is the same Exynos 4412 chip on my previous Epic Touch but with two more extra cores. In other words it's old! Still no big difference tho to be so worked up about. Unless you're going to use both phones back to back you won't notice a difference..

If you're on LTE it can send and receive mms, and browse the Web while you're on a call. It's not that the chip can't handle it. It's just that 3g and voice use the same hardware so you can't do both, but you can while on LTE.
And sprint just disabled the camera when on a call. The note is more than capable of doing it.

You can do 3G data on calls on the GS3, HTC EVO LTE, VIPER, and other Qualcomm based phones. I had the Sprint GS3 and had no issues using data and calls at the same time. Everybody knows that! Where you been?
Our Note can't do it because it has the Exynos chip.
