Hi I've recently got my s3 perhaps 4 months ago and I want to kill myself now that this beast is released. Just asking those Who have moved over from the s3, is the screen really that less clear compared to s3? I've heard that alot from many readings, and really hope to hear some feedback from you guys!

I ditched my S3 three days ago. Note 2 has by far a better screen. Both great phones, but I prefer the Note 2. The battery life is ridiculous. I swear, it's powered by a fusion reactor.

I came from the s3 last week and the difference of performance is like night and day. It must be the ram and optimized software. I like the screen is this note better because the colors are nicer and there is no tinting. True, it might be a bit less sharp than the s3 but you'll only notice it if you have both devices side by side.

Go for the gray one! My s3 was white and I loved it, decided to try something different this time. I love titanium gray as it looks really classy but it's kinda hard to match cases with it. The white one is easier to pair in that aspect but the gray one looks more professional.

Why do people say the screen isn't as good as the s3?

forget about those biased reviews, you'll never go wrong with Note 2
Mine does, on the left hand side of the plastic back, it squeaks when I press it. That's not so awesome about this phone.

No squeak here. It would have to be a mighty huge squeak for me to give up multi tasking and go back to the One X. (Never mind multi view)
I found its easier to put the back on if you start with slotting the bottom parts in first. Try putting the back on again.

All is well here on my Marble White version.

The back will creak if you've removed the cover too forcefully and tweaked the little hooks that hold it in place
My back clicks - especially when I press the Home button... drives me nuts.

Mine currently does atm, but it didn't start off that way, it was fine when I first got it, but after a number of battery pulls and constantly taking the back off enough times it has changed to being like that. This happened on my S3 as well, but I simply bought a new back cover and problem went away. The new one on my S3 hasn't changed to being like that and I've pulled it off many times as well, might just be a minor manufacturing defect thing (I noticed the tiny clips on the backing that click into our phones are small and sometimes look a little warped from being mass produced), You can order replacement backings, as well as different custom colors off ebay, or just the official OEM ones from Samsung. My carrier's store sells replacement S3 backings so once they get replacement Note II backings in ill just get a new one to stop that from happening, they are cheap so no biggie.
I just ordered a metal back for $6.75 at ebay. Hopefully it will be good . The stock plastic back is way too thin, don't know why Sammy was so cheap on its flagship.

Yep I have a squeaky back too but it doesn't bother me that much as I am getting a case soon. In other words no big deal

Well I solve the problem by sticking some paper into the inside of the back where the squeaky sound comes from.

for those buying aftermakret backs off Ebay be warned that most don't have the NFC chip in them. The OEM battery cover has it (2 gold contacts upper third of the case).
Mine squeaks around the volume rocker. Grey phone. Havent checked my wife's which is white.

I'm thinking the white Note 2 looks better than the gray and was wondering if anyone regretted their color choice with white? The gray looks nice too, but I think the white just looks more professional and elegant. Anyone switch colors or regret their choice?
Nope love my titanium gray N2. No regrets.

I have white because I always choose white devices... but I got to say the texture of the gray one just looks super bada$$

I really like the finish on my Grey note 2. I don't really think it matters if you have a white note 2 though, since you'll probably end up putting a case on it anyway.

I absolutely love my white Note 2. There's one thing that does slightly bother me, not a deal breaker though, if you get the white battery cover with the front flip cover the inside felt of it can get a bit dirty.

I had a white s3 and then got a gray note 2 but returned it for the White note 2. The return was because of an issue with the first phone. Glad I got white! Love it! The gray was nice but too dark for me. :thumbup:

I have a white one and it looks good but if I had an option of a grey I would have picked it up. Only con is if its dirty it would show more than an grey one. Other then that I'm enjoying my white note 2.

Im jealous of the ones they released in Korea, reddish copper, very slick.
But like someone said above : no regrets on the titanium gray!

Many people have made the same points I have made in the past. White looked good on the OG Note 1 (which I once had) but it looks lackluster on the Note 2. The titanium gray is absolutely gorgeous! I find myself staring at my phone a lot lol. And when any source of light hits it in a certain way, the brushed aluminum finish pops drastically! The white Note 2 just looks really boring, plasticy, and kind of cheap. That's just my opinion.
Had a white skyrocket and the white Note II and very happy with phone and color.
Once you put a SP and Case you can have any color or metal case color you want.
The white doesn't show scratches and looks like a new phone.
Good luck great phone.

As someone else previously mentioned if you end up putting a case on it then it really doesn't matter. In fact I don't even know what my Note2 looks or feels like without the case on.
But yes I am very happy with my white note2, great looking, and great in general.
I got a white one because when I ordered the Retentions rep told me the grey could be backordered by the time my order was fulfilled. I like the white, havent had a white device yet. I would have MUCH rather gotten black, as the displays on Samsung phones look amazing in a black bezel.
The gray looks way too good
So which color you guys picked for this amazing toy? Black or white.
Just picked up the white with T-Mobile.

I always get black phones. When you look at the screen it blends in much better than with white phones. It's the reason TV's are made in black and not white

I just keep consistent with Samsung phones. From S3, Note 2, to Note 3, all are white.
Grabbed me a black one. My wife has a white S4 and wanted to keep it easy. TMobile is my carrier. Dropped AT&T for them last night.
After the titanium Grey of the note 2 and the black mist of the s4 I got tired of dark colors so white for me, it looks very elegant.

Black , had the white last time
Had a white Note 2 and wanted to try a black Note 3, but the store ran out of black yesterday.
So, I picked up a white Note 3 instead! Well, my current case is a black Spigen Protective Bounce, and therefore, it mostly looks black anyway!
I think black looks better due to the leather-like pattern design, but the white one stays cleaner without attracting the finger smudges not as easily as the black one. Then, if you are like me, using a cover anyway, then, does it really matter?
Black. Just looks classy

did your at&t contract end or you payed the ETF?
I'm thinking of doing the same, because even with ETF (for 4 lines t-mobie family plan is much cheaper...
Black. It blends the camera and other sensors much better.
I usually always get black but I do like the texture on the back more than the white one. It just feels more grippy.

I have a white samsung galaxy note 3. I recently saw that samsung is coming out with the phone in rose gold black. My phone doesn't have any scratches or blemishes. Its pretty much brand new. If I were to sell my white note 3, how much money would I get. Is it worth selling just for the rose gold black edition?

No, I bought it unlocked from amazon. Its retail price was $800. I'm thinking of getting the same unlocked but in Rose gold black.

looks pink-ish... wouldn't be a color i'd choose for a device
5 Note 3's have sold on swappa from $530 to $580
3 were brand new in sealed boxes for $560 & $580
so you might get just a tad less because it is used
Aww, it's only for Verizon. Lame.
I see, thanks for the help. Yeah I did hear that the gold and black was only for Verizon. Is there any chance it will be online unlocked for sale?

its used so you would get less value even doe it has no scratches.
Yeah I realized that. I have decided to a stay with the white one. Anyone have any ideas how to make the back Plate feel more leathery? Compared to the black note 3, the white note 3 back Plate feels like plastic

from my understanding the more you use it naked (white only) the more it will feel like the black one. Too bad they could not get it to be the same.
