I Thing Samsung galaxy note 2 is best than note 8.0, note 8.0 has only size greater than note 2.
Well you are in a note 2 thread so note 2 is favored here. There are some pros and cons when comparing devices so the best you could do is look for reviews or YouTube clips of each device. Then choose. .. what best suits you

I currently have the Galaxy S III on Sprint that I got the day it was released. However, I am switching to AT&T next week, and I don't know if I want to get the AT&T Galaxy S III or the Galaxy Note II. I love my Galaxy S III, with my one wish being that it had a quad-core processor. With the Note II, I love everything, except it seems like it might be too big. However, I have big hands, and I don't use my Galaxy S III one handed anyways. I also do a lot of texting/emailing.
What do you think? Is the Galaxy Note II worth the extra $100 or so? Does it run really fast, smooth, and speedy compared to the Galaxy S III? Also, can you use third-party keyboards using the one-handed setting like you can with the stock keyboard?
Also, is it likely that both AT&T and Samsung will keep updating the Galaxy Note II over the course of the next 18 months?
It depends. For me, the determining factor actually wasn't speed or screen size but rather usability. IMHO the GS3 felt just as fast with a little OC'ing plus it fit in my pocket.
I own the S3 and had the Note 2 for 2 weeks. Really the Note is a great phone. If the size doesn't bother you I would get the Note 2. I ended up returning the Note 2 though. I didn't return it because it was a bad phone. I returned it because I just couldn't justify wasting an upgrade to go from the S3 to the Note 2. The difference between the 2 isn't as great as one might think. Plus my S3 with an Hyperion extended battery this thing lasts forever.

Get the note 2 if you want a bigger device. Otherwise you ain't gonna notice a difference in day to day use.

Well the s4 is out plus the note 3 isnt super far off from release. If it was me I'd wait or get an s4.

Forget Note II. Wait for Note III. If not its worth the jump. Although you still have Samsung support for 4.2.2

forgot to mention i didn't want to spend too much on this and plus i wouldn't consider the s4 because of smaller screen
If you don't want to spend to much go for the Note 2, it will get updated to the next android version plus is still a good phone overall. But if the big screen is a problem for you, look other brands like LG or HTC both have good phones. I will suggest other than the note the Nexus 4 but thats just my opinion.

For me pros of note 2 are: 2 gb ram,smoothness,touchwiz features like multiwindow..
Cons are looks like s3(i prefer rectangular shape like note 1 and s2),screen si not full HD.
How are the roms on this section of xda? that's a killer for me.....i'd like a vibrant community with plenty of ROM's and mods to offer
i like the oppo find 5 though

I don't like to much custom ROMs but I have flashed Paranoid and CM 10.1 Nightlies but none of them was good to me. So I use Android Rev. I think you could find great ROMs but I think there is not too many like in the Galaxy Y forum
I'm stoked....I was disappointed in the note 3 only being 5.7 inches but 2.3ghz and 3gb ram.....its gonna be a beast.....as much as I love my note 2 I will be getting the note 3....loving the jet black

There's a off topic thread for these types of post. I think you make a new thread for unnecessary things imho. WE all know the phone is being announced 2day!!
Here's one off topic:

I don't understand the disappointment with the 5.7" display. What was people expecting. The step up in screen size from the Note to Note 2 was .2". It was only natural for the same to happen between the Note 2 and 3. If the Note 3 had steeped up to 5.9" or higher, then Samsung would have nowhere to go with future variants of the Note. People need to get over it. I wish the screen was bigger, too, but I understand where Samsung is coming from.

Well they want to sell a lot, and keep it from being a niche device that only caters to a very small market.
Obviously they want to keep their numbers up, and there is a limit to which most people are willing to go.
I don't understand all the complaints, I think it looks awesome personally.
According to this post you can use Note 3 roms on a note 2, is it true?

There are a lot of Note 3 roms in the forums. I'm using Sky Note Air 4.3 Note 3 version right now. It works without any issues.

Using the same one.....works well.
But use a note 3 rom that has been ported to note 2. You can't download and flash a note 3 rom on the note 2. The roms in the dev section have note 3 features.
Idk I think I might keep my note 3 very disappointed Samsung didn't do something different, honestly looks like a s5 with a spen. I think I might honestly be very interested in a iphone6 if they do have a bigger version. What our y'all thought's on the note4?
