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

I can't decide if I want to sell my One X or my S3. Definitely getting a Note 2 though.

i generally keep changing my phones. ...already sold my s3after watching note2 specifications. ....have used49handsets till date note2gonna be 50th one....used all Samsung flagship models including note1....excited for note2to arrive India. ....i sell myphones before hand as i get good value before a better model arrives and make its value go down

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

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!!!!
Let's just hope Apple's "vinegar" don't spoil things for U.S.

I already pre ordered the note II, can't wait to get my hands on it

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

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:

Worth upgrading over S3?

Hi guys, I have the S3 i9300 right now and was looking at the Note 2. Can someone else who has made the jump comment on it? Do you regret it at all?

Theres so many amazing things about the note 2 but I dont feel like writing for years. But the S3 is also great so either way youre in good position.

I changed my S III for Note 2 also. The only feature that i am missing in S III now is the smaller more handy size against the punch of stylus & new features is not comparable to the S III. It is all about your needs!

I have both the s3 and Note2 in front of me right now, I will be keeping both for the forseeable future, not sure if I will use the s3 much now, but I like to have the option.

What do you like more about the Note compared to the S3
I've currently got the OG Note and can get the Note 2 or S3 tomorrow, but I'm not sure if there is such a big difference compared to the S3 as there was with the OG note and the S2?

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.

Which phone to buy??

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.

If I do sell one it will be the S3 and it will be in the next 3 days most likely. My 14 days is up on the Note on Saturday so I have to make a decision by then. I will pm you if I decide to sell the S3.

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.

Just gone from the desire hd to the note 2. Wouldnt ever go back to a smaller screened phone again. Even the girlfriends S3 looks tiny compared to the note 2 but after a few days you get so used to it, you couldnt use anything smaller. The iphone looks miniscule compared aswell. Have to laugh everytime I see one

I hear the Note 4 will be awesome. Why not wait for it? There will always be a better phone on the horizon.
You could just buy the Note2 now, sell it as soon as the Note3 comes out and you will have most of the Note3 paid for.

Lol at the sarcasm. Umm I recently got it and love every bit of it, and don't see any chance of regretting in the futures. I tend to regret if there are issues or anything I am unhappy with, but NONE so far

You never going to get anywhere playing the "waiting game" with Android.. most def with HTC.. HTC One X, V,S den One X+ and now a Droid DNA, HTC J Butterfly.. and a rumored HTC Deluxe aka GSM DNA
Its always going to be a better phone than the current version..
Lets say you wait another year... and the Note 3 doesn't have what you expected..

Get the Note 2. When you get bored, then get the Note 3. :victory:

if they do a note III. There might be something completely different in 12 months!

my personal opinion would be get note 2 now.
because its still new, holds value pretty well, but once we are in 2013, i would consider S4.
to be honest I change phone roughly every 2 years, and I just get the one that I will be happy with, that's future proof ish (eg. LTE) for 2 years.

Note 6 is the best! Full 1080p 3D screen, and the screen is FOLDABLE!
I'd wait!

Impressive trolling.
Do your research, make your mind up and stop expecting to be spoonfed. You give no info as to what your needs are, hence any advice from others is almost as pointless as your question.

Yes order the note 3 here,

i heard about the note 20 , it will include features such as teleportation, transoformation with a hit of a button, 100000mah battery 10 inch screen multiple quad cores in one and many other impressive features

Quad cores? Man who is your source? It has kilo-cores : 1024 cores

The Note2 is the best phone available today. I have used mine extensively for work and play, lots of travel and there is nothing that compares. My wife has an iPhne and my old GS2, and they both look like dinosaurs.

I went from the GALAXY S III to the Note II and haven't looked back -- the Note II is a dream to use, feels great in the hand and in many ways has replaced my computer for every day tasks (e-mail, web browsing, basic document and spreadsheet creation, calendar management, and social networking). I absolutely love it and would wholeheartedly recommend one.

Ah man I'm so itching to pull the trigger on this. I'm so torn though because if I see a note 7.0 I might want to hop on that. So much internal struggle to spend my money

Wouldn't you rather have 1 device rather than a tablet and a phone? Trust me, you want this phone.

I went from note 1 to note 2 and haven't looked back. Faster, stronger, easier, more toys, and stupendous battery. Average use at work would mean charging by 2:00, now I go home with 50-60% left. No joke.

imo I like having 2 devices. cuz I'm always paranoid Ill accidentally drop the note2 and ill be ****ed if the screen cracks. If I can do a redo ill get a s3 and save another $100 for a n7.
OP. I suggest to wait for the S4. But gotta admit, that's a long ass wait till it drops.

Note II is all about the pen for me. I personally wouldn't wait for the S4. Note3 maybe =P

S3 to Note 2, I will only stick with Note series

Maybe I'll bring back that ipad mini I picked up and upgrade my s3. Oh the pressure!

If it's in your budget, get the note 2 now and wait a month or two after the S4 comes out to see if it's worth getting and not plagued with issues. Then sell the note 2 and pay the extra 150 dollars or so to get the S4.
The note 2 is an extremely solid device. You might end up waiting 6 months for a device that isn't worth waiting for

If the S4 is worth getting, I plan on doing my plan above. But imagine putting off getting a great phone now and the S4 ends up being a total disappointment (just like the Nexus 4 IMO)

I would do what I did, get the note 2 now, and if you want the S4 later open a second line, sell the note 2 for profit, and take your first line down to the bare minimum.

A Note 7? That would be a bad idea and it would be competing with the Note 2 if they released something like that.

Note 2 will beat many more devices to come.

Went from Samsung Infuse to the Galaxy Note 2. Beast phone with amazing specs with the best resell value too since the note is the only phablet in the market.

The multi-view is amazing for multi-tasking. The phone is ridiculously fast stock, I can't imagine over clocking, and the battery has lasted me close to two days on normal use.
The S pen is also pretty fun to use

Yeah so wait for the S4 to come out oh but it doesn't have S-Pen functions oops now you find out the Note 3 is about to come out then you wait for it but oh the processor is not as fast as you'd like it to be so then the Note 3 is out but the S5 is announced oh but it doesn't do my chores for me then oops the Note 4 is announced so let's wait for that oh but it doesn't make me look thinner... then the S6 is announced...
Unless you have an unlimited pit of money, you shouldn't worry about new tech or getting the latest and greatest (because the latest and greatest gets unseated tomorrow). Pull the trigger, experience what ever pulls you towards it, then wait for another upgrade price to come around since the tech will always be newer, better, and more expensive. :laugh:
