[Q] anyone switch from note 2 to s4? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I am in the middle of making a decision any go from note 2 to s4 if so how was your experience?

Well, I'd say don't. There isn't a big difference tho, Note 2 is almost the same. But if u dont really like such a big screen as Note2 then u can switch. But if I was u, then I wouldnt really waste extra money for it, but if u didnt have the Note2 then going for a S4 isnt bad either

I have the note 2 and got the s4 thinking, I thought 5in screen would be a good compromise because once in awhile I find the note 2 too big...The biggest adjustment I had to make was size, its funny but the s4 actually feels too small vs the note 2 now where I find it more the note 2 more comfortable to use then the s4. Texting is another adjustment I had to make, I got used to typing on a bigger screen to now the s4 feels cramped.
Besides that the .5in makes a pretty big difference I find my self still preferring to use the note over the s4 so I'll end up returning the s4 and keeping the note.
If you think the Note 2 is too big then get the s4, also battery life is another small adjustment I had to make although the s4 battery life is really good it the note 2 is still better. Oh yeah the screen pixel density isnt that big of a jump although 1080 is nice the jump is not as drastic as from a non 720p phone to a 720p phone.

Seems like note 2 owners are not liking the s4 switch.

I switched and im loving it. Obvisouly the battery still isnt that good but im hoping for more kernels to be relwased by devs that provides optimsl battery life. Regardless I still get all day battery life with both phones.

I did, I even had the ascend mate, change in screen size is immediate. Once you find a buddy with a note 2,you will realize how big it was.

It really just depends on your own personal preference, there both really good phones but I'm paying full price , prob 250-300 after I sell my note 2...to me the jump is not worth the extra $$$ but if I we're to change to a smaller phone it'd be the s4

Are u happy with the size change

I'm using both daily and I'm surprised how typing is actually easier for me on the note 2 now that I get to play with both.
The perfect phone for me would be the note 2 with the thinner bezels of the s4 and the features of the s4 such as air view without the pen, and mostly the 1080p screen. That screen just looks quite a bit better for me as I'm near sighted and tend to read very small text on Web pages and such, it just makes it more convenient to have the full Web page on the screen and still be able to read the text on it.
To sum up, I still have a preference for my note 2 due to battery life and screen size. However, if the note 3's body ends up bigger than the note 2's, I won't be going for that. I'm probably going to use the s4 for a little while longer and then sell it.

Note 2 or S3?

I have done much research, and have almost made up my mind. Please, convince me...
The number one factor in my decision is how fast the fan-boys reply... Lol/JK... I'm sorry, but seriously, nobody yet?
Having owned both, I can unequivocally say, the Note 2. The difference in size is not much, but the extra battery and screen estate is REALLY awesome :good: And the best part, the 2gb of RAM. I used to notice lags with the 1gb of RAM on the international version of the S3, however with this phone, nothing seems to bring it to its knees.. EVER!!
Thanks for your response. No offense, but next...

Everything said is true but the size part. The Note 2 is better in every aspect than the S3 but honestly I still not feel comfortable with its size (after more than 1 month) regarding a normal phone usage with one hand such as while standing on a train and so on. (of course when you can use it with 2 hands the big size goes back to be a positive)
Note 2. Why are you even considering another ?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I currently have both and hands down prefer the Note 2. Though you really need to take into account the size. Some people just cannot hold the Note 2 comfortably.
That being said, I'm about 5'5" and can type one handed with minimal issues.
All I can say is that although I admire the performance of my note 2 compared to my previous S3...I've dropped my note II on 2 occasions while trying to make a phone call with one hand, which never happened with my S3. I've got big hands but this thing is just too slim, slippery and wide(not a good combo imo) to use comfortably with one hand. Of course if you can live with it then by all means go with the Note 2.

Note II all the way. SIII is an awesome device but the few differences between the two prove the Note II to be the clear winner.

note 2 has same resolution, but 50% more subpixels leading to a sharper screen with more vibrant colours. bigger screen as well.
one of the things i hated about my note 1 was that it never had enough ram. everytime i tried to multitask with something like like going from browser to sending a text message, it would dump all the browser memory data, so when i go back to browser, it would have to reload that whole page. this was on a 1gb note 1. when i heard the s3 only had 1gb as well, i envisioned having a similar problem, which my friend confirms with his s3. so the 2gb ram of the note 2 is much much better.
if you plan to overclock, then internals dont matter too much, but note 2 has higher clocked CPU and GPU.
battery life is monstrous, even compared to my note 1. soooo many more software optimisations leading to much much better battery life.
I have the Note 1,Note 2 and s3 and think the Gn2 is awesome! If you dont mind the size you would be silly not to get the Note 2

Souai summed it up pretty well, go with note 2, you won't regret it.
If you use your phones one handed often, then definately avoid the note 2.
I would suggest the LTE S3 with 2GB RAM.
As a novalty gadget note 2 is a winner. Fast powerfull and full of juice but omg the other day I was carrying my shopping and the damn phone rang it was almost impossinle to pick it up from my jackets pocket to answer it one handed and then the fear of dropping it on to the floor. If you need to make loads of calls and after practicality maybe wait for s4

Galaxy s4 or note 2???

People who have said theres no difference between the s4 and the s3 or note are TRIPPIN have yall held the device? Feels great in my hand went with my mom to get hers for mothers day. And holy cow. The features it has are one untop of another all hidden too. The screen is farrrr better. The way it feels. So Smooth. The besel on the side of the phone makes it look nice and feel great. Even if the note 2 gets the 4.2 update with some features of the s4. The s4 will still have the best unique features. I love my note 2. But as soon as I held. N played around with the s4. Man I might just buy me mine cash next month. Figured the s4 is the perfect size fits perfectly in my hand. The note 2 still to big . What do you guys think?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
Well the main thing, if you feel its to big you will never be completely happy with it, and will be itching to move on..on the other hand waiting on development is always my issue when deciding what to do
Unfortunately, I agree. I like my wife's S4 more than my Note 2. It kills me on benchmarks with the better processor. The GPU is a billion times better. It can get 37FPS when I can only get 9. It goes through battery a bit quickly and it seems that a few apps aren't quite formatted for 1080 resolution yet, but that will change soon. If I were to put a kernel on her phone and UV I'd prolly get pretty good battery life too. I like the fit in my hand, for sure. Any smaller would be too small but it fits in one hand nicely. On the GN2 I have to use a nilken case that has a knurled finish on the back so that it stays in my hand. The camera is nice and the camera features are pretty cool. I do like my S-Pen but I've gone to AOSP for themeing, control, and speed so I've lost S-note already. I miss S-note (looks much nicer than Papyrus) but I don't think that makes the note worth having over the S4. I'm not going to drop coin on it though, going to stick with the Note.
I just got my 4 today I also have the S3 and Note 2. They are all so different its crazy. I gave my note 2 to my kid and I thought I would keep it until I started playing with my S4 and realized I dont miss it one bit lol or the S3. If you have a S3 it is worth the upgrade if you have the Note2 and are thinking of upgrading yes itsbway worth it but that is a personal opinion. The S4 takes the cake I am amazed at how smooth compared to the Note2 and s3 it is expecially the nore because its quad core.

[Q] Is SGN-II worth buying?

Sup guys.
I'd like to ask owners of SGN-II - do you guys think this mobile is worth buying now, some months before release of SGN-III? It - presumably - will have better hardware and bigger screen, but would it really matter?
I'd also like to ask if somebody uses SGN-II on a regular basis to take notes and stuff - I'm planning it to use as a student (Bc.) instead of "old" paper notebook and wonder if it's screen going to be sufficient for that.
Cheers.
If you wait for the note 3 you might as well wait for the note 4. The s-pen works really well for taking quick notes but the screen may be a bit small for your needs. Have you looked at the note 8.0? The note 8.0 would be a lot better for taking long notes, IMO.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Imo the note2 would be too small for your needs. I have note2 which is an awesome smart phone but I wouldn't use as a educational tool, I also have the note 10.1 which given the extra screen space is a much better option.
I also recently sold the galaxy tab 7.7 which I loved and only sold as I realised my note 2 is JUST large enough to make a small tab unnecessary, so now I use the note 2 while out and about and the 10.1 while at home. Just my opinion.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
As someone who's got all three of the current Galaxy Note range, I'd say the Note 8.0 would be best for your needs. The screen on the Note 10.1 looks like fuzzy garbage and it's a bit too heavy to use comfortably as a paper notebook replacement. The Note 2 is ok for quick notes but not suitable for use of any duration. Note 8.0 is the sweet spot, both portable and practical. Battery life isn't the best but it will get you through a full 8 hour day.

Thank you for your suggestions guys, I'll take a look at Note 8, however I really liked AMOLED screen on SGN-II, looks so... vivid and bright after my Desire S, lol.
Y'all may think I'm crazy, but I went to the AT&T store last night to look at the LG Optimus G Pro and compare the screen with my Note 2. As far as resolution goes, I couldn't tell the difference and my daughter agreed with me. Maybe if you hold the phones 5 inches from your face you would see the big difference that everyone is talking about. The only thing that looked a little better to me were the whites. The speed I've been hearing so much about, well my note 2 was just as fast at scrolling, loading apps and browsing the web. Maybe its the rom and kernel I'm using (Hawkish rom and Perseus kernel). I'm glad I went and looked at the LG because I was jealous of the 1080p screen that I've been hearing so much about, but no more. The Note 2 is a fantastic device with a nice screen and a tone of features. The development is outstanding as well with the Note 2. We have a lot of very talented devs.

Some suggestions were made about getting a note 8 but you could also consider getting a Bluetooth keyboard to type with the gnote2. Take the nerd factor to the next level.

Hi,
Simple answer. Yes.
I am a student but I make my notes old skool with pen and paper. The Note II is fast and smooth enough. After 2 or 3 years I will buy the Note 5 or 6.

Please tell me your experiences come to s4 from.note 2
Yep! Just got the S4 earlier today. The display is wayyy better. And I love the fact that I can text with one hand. Still learning all the features but overall I'm happy with the S4. Build quality seems better. Note 2 felt cheap to me.

I currently use the s4 AND the galaxy note 2. The s4 is an AWESOME device that can hold it's own weight BUT the battery life doesn't compare to the note 2 and that .5 inch screen difference is MAJOR! Although, I must say the s4's 1080p hd screen is beautiful!
I also went ot S4 from N2
My only complain with the Note II was when i was on the train and holding on to something it was difficult to one handed use the phone other wise I loved the device. The screen resolution on the S4 is a huge improvement. I do miss the screen size on my Note II. Would love to get the Note III but I hear that its getting even bigger and I just cant handle any bigger then what it is already. For travel I could not beat the Note II for watching videos on planes or in hotel. for map navigation it was awesome.

I had my n2 for the longest time. then i got s4 when it just came out. didn't really like it since there was not that many roms/mods at first. so i ended up giving it to my first s4 to my wife and keeping my n2. but development for s4 has gone a long way that i sold my n2 and now have two s4.... :victory:
pros s4:
smaller size for better handling
1080p
13mp cam

pros n2
large screen.
large battery

I have gone S3 > Note II > back to the S3 > S4
I sold off the Note II bc I really never found a use for the pen. Loved the BIG screen and did not mind the BIG phone. Sold it while I could still get what I paid for it and tucked away the cash in anticipation of the S4 release. Scored my S4 off Craigslist and have been very happy with it. I had the Samsung flip cover on my S3 and love the new functionality of the S-view cover for the S4. The bigger S4 screen is nice. As others have said the smaller phone size vs the N2 is a pro. And the new screen resolution is awesome. IMHO - if you use the S-pen a lot stick with your N2. If not go S4

Chaos Rings 2.
I purchased this game in the Play Store while I had my Note 2.
Didn't work.
Now with my S4, works perfectly.
Earlier today, I switched from Sprint to T Mobile (Excellent decision) and in turn, purchased the S4.
Gotta say, I miss my giant screen, but specs make up for that!
Awesome device.
I had the note 2. I do miss the size but this s4 seems so much better. Another thing I miss is s note. I cant edit any of my s notes on this phone and I dont think theres a way for s note to work on this phone. But other than those 2 things this is an amazing phone.

[Q] Just 2 steps from buying the Galaxy Note 2...

Hi,
I was about to buy the GS4 but I thought of the Note II
I'm impressed with this phablet
Just 2 questions about the note 2 to make sure it's a good choice for me.
1- There is a huge difference in hardware (CPU & GPU) between note 2 and the S4
But I saw that people don't have any lag even in latest hardcore games
Can the note 2 be good for a while or maybe in the near future it will be and old device & can't handle new games??
I mean the S4 got about 28000 vs 18000 on the note 2 on ANTUTU Bench.
I this points difference is for nothing?
2- The camera of the note 2... If I try to capture a written text on the blackboard about 7~10 meters far away from me... can I really get the a good picture?? (I mean in the college )
Or should I get the 13MP of the S4??
Hi and welcome!
1. The difference between Note 2 hardware and GS4 hardware is not so important as long as Note 2's hardware can provide enough power. And it does. Plenty. If you look to benchmarks for answers, you'll be disappointed to know that the synthetic benchmarks don't reflect real life usage, so the scores are more or less an indicator. Not to mention that the newer phones like GS4 have some tweaks in order to get higher scores in benchmarks. You can safely buy Note 2 from this point of view, it's powerful enough to play any game out there, plus it does it on a big beautiful screen and not eating all your battery while doing it.
2. The camera can take good pictures, for what you say you need, it's perfect. You may get bigger pictures from the GS4 due to it's lager sensor, but unless you shoot very small text or you need to print a banner from it, you won't see the difference.
I had to make the same choice some time ago, and I went with the Note 2. I don't regret a second for doing so, especially when my GS4-using friends keep asking for chargers constantly cause their battery won't last them through a day.

Thanks, you made my day :cyclops:
But I hope that other people ensure what you say cause I get confused after someone tells me that S4 is a better choice
Well, I wrote my opinion on this matter, others may have different preferences. It all comes up to what you need - big screen + big battery vs. fullHD + newer hardware - considering that if you put my Note 2 (and I say "my Note 2" because I'm talking about rooted + custom ROM) next to a GS4, you don't see any performance difference. Any.
Oh, yeah, and the pricing difference...
I agree with ruwin. However it all depends on what you want to use it for. I personally don't care to much for TouchWiz exclusive features which are now not so exclusive. For example, OmniRom have a note 2 custom ROM with android 4.3 with working multi window and there are now plenty of apps and mods which make good use of the s-pen. That being said and considering hardware differences to be neglible what makes the note 2 'better' in my opinion is the larger screen. I couldn't go back to a smaller screen now. And if your looking for the TW features, The 4.3 upgrade should be just around the corner and there are already fully functional note 3 features being ported. Don't be scared! Get the note 2

waiting for other opinions
Well I've had my note 2 for a year. I was eagerly awaiting the 3 and was going to buy that.
However, my father got the s4 so I had to set it all up for him and whilst the screen is nice, its too small and the battery life is the same. For me the gimmicks it has are pointless and if I was asked to swap my 2 for the s4 I wouldn't.
I'm a big game player and the bigger screen and battery are a must for me but everyone is different.

That's a good point
if it has a bigger screen + better battery life + good performance vs brighter Full HD >>> THE NOTE II WINS
The Note 2 is a better choice as it has better battery and S Pen features. Also I heard many users having problems with the S4 such as heating, etc.
Will add that if want to take pictures if blackboard notes in college, why cant you snap them after class, or have the teacher hold on for 3 seconds so you can take the photo before erasing?

Well, some teachers don't allow us to take pictures (don't know why) so we take the photo while he is not looking
The BB also gets to be erased about 4-5 times every class, so simply I can't capture it after the class

Yeah for me the bigger screen whilst playing is a must now. I know it seems hard to believe but I pick up my old phone and I couldn't believe how I used to play games on such a small screen.
For you I guess also price may be a factor? My dad wanted the note 2 but got a better deal on the s4.

Well, finally I'm getting the Note 3 instead if Allah wishes :fingers-crossed:
There is a 26% discount on its price, so it's about the same price as an S4
Thanks everyone for your help
It maybe helpful for anyone who is confused about the Note 2 and the S4
