[Q] Pros and Cons of Note 2 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

I currently have the S3 and while I do love the phone, I want to change my phone plan (Telus) and the only way to get the new deals is to pay out the S3 and get a new contract. They are selling the Note 2 for $99, the HTC one for $99 and the S3 for $0, so my choices are between these three phones. Since I already have the S3, I think I would like something a bit newer, but if another S3 is in the cards, I won't be hurt too badly.
I am leaning towards the Note 2 as I want a bigger phone and I like the idea of the S-pen.
What do you like about your phone and would you recommend it to others? Don't forget, I am currently using one of the best phones out there, so I have been spoiled for the last year.
Thanks for the info,
Ian

I went from an S3 to the Note 2. One month later..so did my wife. Even though the software is practically the same, the screen size and S pen make it worth the upgrade.

I would suggest getting the HTC One, don't get me wrong you will probably like the note if you get it but the One is a generation ahead in everything excluding battery life.

Edit:
To all of those saying Im biased its my fault for not saying I own the note 2, I thought it was obvious from my signature.

I went from s3 to note 2, no regrets! And I'll never have a smaller phone. It's so amazing

hey
i like the htc one but there are a few things one it has NO sd card so what you have for room is what you have no extra room next is there is no WiFi charging as you can get with the note 2 also with the note 2 you can get a larger battery for more time if you need but you really don't need to
remember the htc one has no removable battery or sd card . smaller screen but you know that but htc one has a great set of speakers also the htc one has better low light camera for pics .. and it is a new er phone ..
be honest if you can wait for 3 months the new note 3 will be out it will have the faster ram CPU and gpu and is only supposed to be going from 5.5 to 5.7 in size

This comment is inexcusable. Look at the guys name. He's obviously bias. OP..... word of advice. ... nothing is more of a complete package right now than the note 2! Period! Almost 2d battery life 4-6 hrs screen on time. ..... every day. Can't go wrong! Htc are overpriced pieces of junk if I'm being honest

Con - after you have a phone with such a big killer screen and amazing battery life you won't be able to go back to anything else..
Once you go note, you never go back

These 2 comments say it all; htc one is cute, small, and nice speaker design, but no storage, no battery change, and htc is in big trouble..
there is absolute NOTHING that any other phone out right now, does as good as or better than the Note 2.
End of story..

Many thanks for all the input. The only thing I am hesitant about going with HTC is I had the SGS before I got the S3 and I am used to the way Samsung does things on the phone.
Is there mush of a noticeable difference between the pentile screen and the non-pentile screen?
It's going to cost me about $100 to pay off my S3 (on a trade-in) and cancel the contract. The Note 2 is $99, but the plan is a lot better. Now I have 'My Fav 10' and 100MB of data for $50/month. The new plan is unlimited Canada wide calling and 3GB of data for $60/month. I almost always go over my 100MB limit, so I am paying an extra $10/month anyway.

Everything excluding battery life ?? My friend...the one cant even accept a memory upgrade...are you serious ??
Lol....
Obviously your opinion is biased and inaccurate...
HTC made a valiant attempt with that device...
But it appears that sales are not doing well....at all...
And once again HTC remains in serious financial trouble...
Stick with the winning team...
The one that allows you to actually look at your battery...or add that fresh 64 GB class 10 Kingston card...
Please don't try to convince us that an inferior device wins out over the most innovative, and best running device on the market today...
That attempt would be...well...embarrassing...g

Enjoy that machined aluminum after it gets all scratched up too lol
I'll take my "cheap" plastic that has not been in a case yet doesn't have a single scratch or scuff on it

I don't blame inspiredbyhtc for his input. I would also praise the S3 on a forum if someone asked. I love my phone as he loves his. I have never used the HTC One, so I said I would consider it when I upgrade and he gave his opinion.
But, on the other hand, I guess he had it coming since he is in the Note 2 forum. That's like a Montreal Canadian's fan going to New York and cheering for the Canadians and getting beer poured over him.
Ian

I'm very impressed with the note 2. Just switched from the htc one x. Htc phones are not as easy as samsung to root and unlock. Delt with the same things as the one, cant change battery, no ext storage. I'll be sticking with samsung for a long time.

I've been a long time iPhone user, since the first one, and I just bought a Galaxy s3 and can honestly say I don't miss it at all. The new one is just more of the same....
This is probably going to get locked down real fast.....but its definitely a BIG dissappointment. Some of my friends are turning into hypocrites real fast saying they'll buy it. Especially when they told me"I don't need a bigger screen, 3.5 is more than enough" this was when I had the x10, captivate, nexus s etc. iPhone users need to wake up.

I was going to reply, just this..LOL so funny. I had every iPhone ever released until 3 weeks ago, got the GS3 and i couldn't be happier, iP5 is just a minor minor revision, playing catch up to the rest of the world.

Actually, what we really need would be Google Wallet support for our GS3's without the hack-around. But we know that wouldn't work with Apple since they're now Anti-Google. Forget where i saw it... think it was on the news earlier, but i like how they put it. Something along the lines of "There is so much competition between Apple and Google, that Apple decided to recreate the world." in regards to Apple's new maps system.

GS3 owner can have an opinion about other products specially if they are direct competitors, it is not about making he threat about OS vs OS, but general opinions about the product just announced.

Apple is at it again, same old phone design. Lame is what I think it is. Honestly, whats changed? Basically nothing besides LTE. The event was more of a " we sold a billion of these and a trillion of these, and oh yeah heres the new iPhone 5 we gave it a bigger scree, now go wait in line"

This.
Its almost impossible to get (cheap) nfc tags in Canada. I asked a Best Buy rep at the Eaton Centre store in Toronto a couple of days ago, and he had no idea what NFC was.
I was really hoping the new iphone would have it so that it would become 'mainstream', but guess we have to wait another year now. Also, doesn't help that stupid S Beam is incompatible with Android Beam (try transferring photos to any non-GS3 phone, it will fail..till we get updated to JellyBean)

i remember reading reviews almost 'ranting' about how light the galaxy s and galaxy s ii were. people were saying 'too light', 'does not feel premium because phone does not feel substantial in hand', 'iphone is perfect with high quality weight to it', 'sometimes not sure if in pocket or not'. something along those lines.
and i read this on a youtube comment but I think it could hold some truth. could Apple have not included nfc (even if it wanted to/why wouldn't they want to?), because it already finalized its aluminum design? fail.

Need an extra opinion.

So. I've got a friend who tonight just offered to trade a 32gb HTC One X International for my AT&T 16gb Galaxy S3. I've already got two friends saying it's a good trade, and I'm inclined to agree because of the Tegra 3 and the LCD screen. Just curious to see what anyone else thought and if they'd give a thumbs up or down.

pro
- games

cons
no lte
less dev
less memory 1gb
krait cpu stand up to the tegra
resale value on s3 will be higher in a few months
expected 30millions by the end of quarter 4...their numbers speak for them self
need more storage? won't be able to add micro sd
the main thing that through me off from the hox is built in battery and not sd storage
either then that the hox is a nice unit but I wouldn't trade if it be up to me
I believe you already made the right choice by choosing the s3 in the first place but in the end it's up to you
:thumbdown: There is a reason your friend wants to trade, it's because yours is better.
The removable battery and no external storage are deal breakers for me.. But a distant 3rd deal breaker is resell value.
HTC 1x isn't easy to sell now and will be very hard later.. Not worth it..
Ask him for 100+his phone if you are considering it otherwise you're getting ripped off
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I tend to disagree. I just made this trade and am now on the GS3 side of it.
It comes down to preference. I think the HOX was a much more solid device. I won't get into the dual v quad argument now because it's pretty much moot.
The GS3 is the "it" phone for now, but the HOX has a niche that I think makes it just as valuable to the right people. If your motivation is purely liquidity, then stick with your GS3. If you want to try a new experience that could potentially be better for you, I think the HOX is worth a try. I liked it.
Others have said get him to add cash. I would ask for $50 and not take any less. Explain these reasons. It's fair.
Thanks for your thoughts guys. I think I'm gonna stick with my s3. I rather do enjoy this phone and after doing a little research the little things the S3 has over the hox are pretty big to me. Like removable battery and sd cards. The other thing is the S4 chip is pretty amazing ntm I feel i would regret the trade. Also my s3 is red lol

Well I was hesitant of the offer to begin with. Reason I started thread was to hear a wider degree of opinion, and everyone's thoughts were right along with my own. The S3 is a stellar phone. I'm a little sour with at&t atm cause I guess they will be bringing the Exynos version stateside with LTE support but bleh. The S4 seems to be showing these quad core chips a fight.
Honestly. I didn't really know a great deal about the International HOX because I never cared to know till my friend made that offer. Would pique anyone's interest i imagine. All said and done though. I will not part with my S3 unless I find a way to get the Note 2.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

Is anyone considering the Nexus4?

Would that actually be a step backwards?
No LTE? How 2010..
I was looking at it (virtually) briefly but what draws me to the Note II is the S-pen functionality. No other phone except maybe the Note I offers that at the moment. So there's not really any comparison out there!

Indeed. It is a horrible trend. Losing features and options we had before...why even go back like that , just plain dumb.
i have one on the way; i use 2 phones one for work and the other for personal stuff and i want to see how the N4 compares to my S3 (e.g., to be the personal phone). that is, how it compares in person in every day use. i've used the previous Nexus devices only to give the S and GN to my kids because of the low in-call volume. (i still have the N1 in pristine condition). the shortcomings you guys mentioned definitely weigh against the N4 being "my" second phone, but the only way for me to be sure is to try it out.
Considering the device costs half as much as the Note 2 on the play store I'm sure plenty of people will find it an attractive product regardless of the lack of external sd, removal battery, LTE, etc. Also because it's a Nexus device Google will likely support it for a long time to come.
That being said, had I the option of both devices and price wasn't an issue, I would take my Note 2 any day.

That's a badass combo for sure... Probably the two best phones on the market to date. I too had ordered the N4 and got that email and just canceled and went with the Note 2 and could not be happier. Looking back, I just got caught up in the hype... would have been a huge mistake to go from the One X to that phone.

Biggest mistake of my life.

So yesterday I traded my note for the optimus g. MOD EDIT profanity removedThis phone had so much promise but just fall short on every turn. Some things I was looking forward too.
Better screen
Better processor
Cooler look
Smaller
And I wanted to try something new. I've had Samsung for 3 years now. And I haven't tried anything else.
Where I was wrong:
Screen sucks! Yeah it has more ppi.. but the screen on all videos has this grainy look to it. I understand that the superamoled is high contrast, but it wasn't the colors it was the video itself.
Screen= fail
plus this screen is now to small... I can't believe how perfect 5+ inches. Is.
Processor = alright
It might just be LG software but this phone isn't as quick as I thought I should be. I mean come on this s4 pro kid such a badass... not really I have to give it to Samsung for making everything in house.. I feel like they are the gods for now on mobile devices
All in all the phone isn't want the note is.. plus I hate seeing 53% battery in only 4 hours of using my device instead of 14 or 16. Well sorry just wanted to make sure no one ever leaves this place... until the next big thing comes out. But honestly this phone is the best hands down. .

Dont do the one x+!!! I originally switched from note 2 to the one x+a couple months ago. I returned it in like 5 days. It was so laggy I couldn't believe it. I loved the build quality of it but battery and performance was awful. Only phone I have used with better performance than the note 2 is the iphone 5. Back on note 2 now and living it.

Switch
Ive been on iPhone my whole life till now. Ive always had to jailbreak to get all of the features I wanted and with android even with out root it is much more customizable. Plus the iPhone 5 is a piece of garbage do not ever consider switching from this big beautiful powerful phone that we all love.
How was the camera on the Optimus G? I've heard bad results. I love how Rogers says its the fastest phone in Canada which is what everyone is using on their Kijiji adds. Yet they are selling for 400 and under lol.
Props to all who contributed to this thread. After driving for an hour in a horrible snow storm in a lowered Honda, this thread is awesome!! So much win. Plus my car is better then the 4x4 trucks that where in the ditch all over the place haha

I've played with both the HOX+ as well as the LG Optimus G. Honestly after having this phone and playing with those others I don't see how you guys were even curious lol. The S4 Pro is a good chip but its not nearly as oower efficient as our Exynos, and while touchwiz isn't the most attractive overlay, it's easily the least resource intensive and most feature filled. I consider myself to be pretty heavy into the mobile scene and I have yet to find an all around better device than the Note 2.

Is the Galaxy Note II still a good buy?

Currently rocking a Nexus 4 on T-Mobile, but for a variety of reasons (quality of T-Mobile service, lack of LTE, battery life, 16GB being too small, etc) am considering switching...As such I've started looking at phones and I'm curious if you think the Note II is still a good buy?
Yes

im not going to lie....i was really skeptical about picking it up about 4 weeks ago since it is a pretty old machine now, but omg...it's blazing fast, enough juice to keep a heavy user happy in a slim form...i mean, those guys who are getting the zerolemon battery must really hate touching the charging cable....i listen to music all day long on my BT headset, make several calls, push mail, send about 75-100 texts a day, take about 30-40 pictures, and watch about 30-45 minutes of youtube and have yet to drain this little guy...
sure the Dev community is small, but it is full of quality dev's creating quality roms..i actually like them all and just keep bouncing around!!
4.2.2 aosp roms are running great, but i prefer the TW cam over AOSP....i would wish someone would create an TW based rom with AOSP apps....
regardless of the Note 3, this phone is still a powerful phone that is going to be a contender for awhile....the only thing the note 3 has over this,IMHO, is that new screen....
All true. ...
And as once said. ..
A bird in the hand. ..is worth 2 in the bush...
Grand claims have been made about many things. ..and in the case of this device. .
The claims are true. ...g
I would say yes but dont overlook the optimus g pro.
sent by my NOTE 2 from a ROOTBOX
I am a heavy internet user on my Galaxy Note 2 and I receive about 2 maybe 3 calls a day on top of sending 50 to 60 texts a day. On my heaviest usage day, I get about 1 day on a single charge. But on my lightest usage day I get 3 days. But I have auto sync on everything turned off, GPS is off, outside of using cellular networks, auto-brightness is off with 30% brightness, 15 second screen timeout and S Pen battery saving checked. The only thing auto updating is Contacts and Calendar.
I paid 330 on ebay for brand new with extras... so depends how much you get it for. Development is slow here though.
Absolutely... I always have to have new gadgets, but I bought mine the day it released with AT&T and every time I think I might want a new phone I realize there is nothing out there (yet) that I want more than this one!
I agree...had years and years of iPhones and traded a guy on CL for my iPhone 5. I'm very happy...like everyone says, it's very fast, battery life is great, screen size is great. Running CleanROM SE3.0 on mine with Perseus kernel, and a few AOSP themes and its exaclty how I want it to be. Very, very satisfied with my device.

Great buy.
lol no slow developments found in Sprint & Verizon versions.
We have many more roms to choose from with different bases , ports and tweaks etc ATT development is fair
If I got one, it would be on contract with ATT and I can get one brand new for $100
And that would be keeping my Nexus 4 as well so I could switch as I desire

The att ones seem buggy to me...most of them. And samsung slow updates are kind of annoying but device is fun. I had nexus 4 loves its speed but got fed up with aosp roms, all the same + lack many features.

Im not to fond of ATT bases myself which is why I go with International bases for the most part.
Samsung slow on updates?,,,,not really seeing they have released many updates for international that can be used on are device with a simple buildprop modification so ATT users aren't hurting for update hmm 4.2.2 would be nice though

Development isnt really slow. When it comes to greatness......u can only get so high. I believe we are at the top right now. I don't think the roms and/or kernels can get any better right now. I believe they're top notch. I think we are just plateauing right now until a 4.2 leak or official is released. But it's Ok to plateau. ..... when ur on top.
I wouldn't want to b anywhere else right now!

He wasn't happy with nexus 4 or note 2 though...
Kinda doubt he would really be happy anywhere then, you aren't going to find any more active development sections than these. Time to try a new os maybe?
