Should I sell my gs3 and buy the Note 2?

I'm thinking about selling my galaxy 3 to buy the Note 2. What do you all think?

its all a matter of opinion really
I had the note 1, went to the galaxy nexus then now the S3, I saw that while i liked the pen, the screen was large enough for quick things but not large enough to be a really effective pen based device...
so I'll probably get the note 10.1 for a good pen based device vs the smaller screen...
good luck on your decision!

I was thinking the same thing for awhile now.. I let me know why you do

I would say yes if you want the next version of Android. It starts out with JB out of the box. And the S3 only has ICS as of right now.

Well It's a definite upgrade from the galaxy s3 for many reasons such as:
- Bigger battery, the note 2 has a 3100mah battery
- Gorgeous display, unlike the s3 the note 2 doesn't use the pentile matrix giving it an improved display
- S pen, some like it some don't but the point is that it's there
- More features, if you watch videos on youtube you will see that the note 2 has more features packed into it that the s3 doesn't, such as multi windows, which is basically true multitasking.
So if you don't mind the bigger screen then I would definitely recommend it.

You do not know what you are talking about lol. Those software feautures can easily be ported to our device and not really an upgrade since that quad core cpu is still using the old technology and as it regards the battery you gotta make a ratio comparison battery size/screen size and then say if it is an upgrade or not.

Well let's go ahead and assume someone ports the features to our phones, that still leaves 3 (possibly more) features that the note 2 has that the galaxy s3 doesn't. If you look online and watch reviews you will hear that the note 2 has amazing battery life even with heavy usage, and you will also find that the display in fact does not use the pentile matrix, therefore it is technically an upgrade from the s3.

They used to say the same when note one came out and battery life sucked. I do not need to read reviews online just go to the note 2 forum and read all complaints about battery life. As it regards the screen difference you would not notice any difference if they didnt tell you which is which. Anyway to each their own.

Well I actually went to the note 2 forum and I did not see any complaints about battery life, I also googled "galaxy note 2 bad battery life" and I did not get any results of a person complaining about battery life so I'm going to go ahead and say based on facts/research the note 2 has good/great battery life. As far as the screen goes it is noticeable, and regardless of whether you notice a difference or not it's there none the less and is technically an upgrade. Look at it this way, if someone were to offer you a galaxy s3 with a screen that didn't use the pentile matrix and had a 2800mah battery would you take it?

I am not taking any phone that does not have a15 cpu. Samsung is very good at marketing. I had note one when came out and it is fun for first week only and then nothing special. I use an anker 4400 and get 9 hrs screen on time heavy usage sp if the choice was cuz of battery life only nah then. The screen yes sucks if you try to read out in the sun or at the beach but i do not think sammy has made any changes to fix that considering all the galaxy line phones historically have had bad screen brightness compared to their competitor htc for example.

Well that entire post was basically your opinion on the note 1 and still doesn't justify how the note 2 isn't a upgrade from the s3.

Told you how it is not an upgrade it has old technology cpu, still same camera.You say got better screen, i say normal user notices no difference. Battery is bigger but does not mean anything cuz screen is bigger too so it spends more juice. software features as i said are not worth mentioning cuz once gs3 came out features were easily ported to gs2 and as u moght have noticed we are already using note2 camera+gallery.

- "old cpu technology"
Well it will be coming to the U.S with a exynos processor which is fantastic and benchmarks show that it's faster then our dual core s4 processors.
- "You say got better screen, i say normal user notices no difference."
Again this is your opinion but regardless it is still technically an upgrade to the screen, sort of like the difference between 1080p and 720p, some say it's not noticeable on a display this small but regardless it would still be an improvement.
- "Battery is bigger but does not mean anything cuz screen is bigger too so it spends more juice."
Well based on the fact that I went to the note 2 forums as you suggested and saw no negative posts about battery life I'd say it's definitely better. Not good enough for you, read this: http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-II-Review_id3134/page/4
- "software features as i said are not worth mentioning..."
While this is true, there is currently no port for the note 2 features so it doesn't matter if it's possible because there is currently no port for it.
Anything else?

The only reason I'd sell my gs3 would be for the oppo find 5.

i'm not with you here.
there are several useful gestures via hovering with the s-pen that would never be replicated on the s3. the note2 is somewhat approaching desktop like functionality and packing it in a device that fits in your pocket.
My only gripe is that it might be too big, I'm loving the s3's size even after getting rid of my note. To say all the note 2 features can be ported over is a joke, and everyone complains about the pentile display. Not to mention the s3s default brightness values are even lower than the note 1. Out of the box the note 2 will have better performance and features. Size is the only thing that would hold people back.
If samsung made a Note 1.5 which would be the same size/design as the S3 packing the same goodies don't really think it would be a contest people would obviously pick the phone with better technology.

No one can make that decision but you. Everyone has their own opinion.

Better than the S3?

Hey everyone I'm due for an upgrade soon and I've been looking at the Note 2. I currently have the S3 and I love my phone but I'm interested in the Note 2. What (if any) makes the note better than the S3? I don't mind the size and yes I will put an otterbox defender case on it and I know it'll look huge but I don't mind that. Also does anyone really use the stylus? How is it? Thanks in advance

The battery is a beast just like the phone also the multi view tasking.

coming from a galaxy S2, this phone is incredible
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app using handwriting recognition

Battery life alone makes this phone superior to the S3. Plus, the S3 isn't running on the Exynos Quad chip at 1.6 ghz
I find the pen incredible useful, but you might not. If you can deal with the size like you said, GET THE NOTE. The bigger the better, right?
Oh, and multi-view is awesome!!!

I came from the gs3. They feel pretty much a like, except for the pen, extra screen space, and battery. But I finally feel like I have a phone I could actually make it through a 2 year contract with.

The SG3 is a awesome phone and it runs much like the way ours does, only it does it with a smaller battery. You will notice the difference in battery life on day 1. The SG3 person can make any mods/changes they want to and the SGN2 will most likely out due them on a day 1 running completely stock with screen on auto.
Don't even get me started on the screen size.

I think the only thing you'll miss about the S3 is that the N2 lacks SVDO and is a little behind in development like no CM10 for Sprint yet).
The pen comes in handy to put a personal touch on photos.
Personally, I don't miss my S3 since I don't place many phone calls. I am happy with my N2 (could be happier with CM10 and Paranoid Android).

First thanks everyone for your inputs and second I'm due for my upgrade in January the first to be exact and I was told that sprint would allow you to buy out your contract to allow you for an early upgrade. Is this true?

This.
Usually I get tired of my phone in less than a year and am wanting something else. While it remains to be seen with the Note 2, I can say, I feel as tho I have a phone that has the speed and features that can hold me over till my next upgrade. Plus I love the battery life on this thing.

I just used my upgrade to get a note 2 even though I have the s3. I like the Note 2 so far better

So all of you that went from S3 to N2, have had no problem adjusting to the size difference? My wife has an S3, and we went to BB to compare it to the N2. The N2 is huge.....I didn't think it would be such a big difference from the S3, but it is.....Even my wife doesn't think she can get over the size difference. I would much rather have the N2, since I think it would keep me future proof for 2 years, but it is rather large...the S3 should be kind of future proof too, but I keep going back and forth.
I am sure the size discussion has been beaten to death on this forum, but I just want some fresh perspectives.

I went from S3 to N2. S3 feels so small now lol. The N2 did feel pretty big at first but after using it for a week or so, it doesnt feel all that big now and feels pretty normal. No regrets here, best phone there is IMO. I even take it to the gym and put it in pocket of my bball shorts (taking out for certain excercises of course). Just do it

Dang it....I almost had myself convinced that I would be getting the S3. My upgrade is in December, so I guess I will wrestle with this a couple more weeks. :silly:

I hear it's a great phone, however I see my coworker walking around talking on this beast and i can't help but giggle every time. It's too big as a phone for me.

I think many of us said the same thing, when seeing it on someone else. I know I did. I just wasn't sure the size would work for me(especially since I have smaller hands). But after having it only since Thursday, I can say I don't regret getting it one bit. I am used to the size and would have a hard time going back to something smaller.
As other have said, I think I found a phone that I could be happy with for my entire 2 year contract and not just the first 10-12 months.

man I wish I would've been able to have the transition from galaxy s 3 to note 2 like some of you lucky guys. or even the galaxy s 2 to note 2. I just moved from the galaxy s epic 4g after two+ years. yeah I came from a 4 inch screen to 5.5 inch. the adjustment was huge. but overall I am loving this phone. It was kind of a bummer finding out this phone had no svdo. I would've liked to try it out. but who cares? anywhere I go I have wifi; home, work, friends, restaurants, etc. get this phone, it is totally worth it. the only thing I like the spen for is using the stock browser. makes it a hell of a lot easier when opening sub menus like on ebay or scrolling down craigslist.

You really do get used to the size. Came from an iPhone 4 so I went from 3.5 to 5.5. After three weeks I don't feel the N2 is too large at all.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

3.5"? I didn't realize apple was ripping people off that bad. wow, I just looked at the iphone 5. a 4" screen? seriously? high resolution only works to a point.
at least one of my coworkers was convinced once I let him play with my phone for ten minutes. went out and bought the phone same day.

Samsung Galaxy S III vs. Note II: Sizing up
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_iii_vs_galaxy_note_ii-review-830.php

[Q] Is now a bad time to buy?

I'm in the market for a new phone. I've been looking between the Note 2, SGS4 and the HTC One. I'm kind of leaning towards the Note 2 but I'm concerned that it might not be the best time to buy one of these. Thoughts/suggestions?

why would now be a bad time to buy the best phone on the market?

I'm concerned how well the phone will hold up over the next two years. I don't want to get left out in the cold because I decided to buy the Note 2 instead of the SGS4

it hasnt been out for 2 years, so no one can answer that question...

OK, let's simplify this. You were up for renewal, choice is a Note2 (assuming you dont own one) or an SGS4. Which would you choose?

My vote.. wait till note 3 to make ur decision

Unfortunately that doesn't help when I'm on the road for work

note 2 no contest...

I couldn't wait and got the gnote2 a couple of weeks ago. I sold my gnote first and that covered the cost with the 2 year contract. So I'm happy.
I got it at Walmart since it was a lot cheaper than at&t store or online and just 10 more tjan amazon and I didn't have to wait 5 days even with amazon prime, weekend I guess.
My thinking was the s4 might drop the price of the note2 a bit but the note1 is stikl 200 at at&t store.

It all depends on your budget and your need. If you're on the road constantly then the Note would be best for you because of the big battery. Again it all is dependent on your type of usage as well as budget. If money is not an issue I'd say the s4.

I'm going to recommend the Note 2. I just installed CM 10.1 and have underclocked to 900Mhz and the device still runs as smooth as I need it to day in and day out. Keep in mind that 900Mhz is nearly half of what the processor is capable of.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium

Until concrete numbers are in I'm going to say the Note 2 just on battery size. Lets face it doesnt matter what ohone you have, with no juice it's ni good. Note 2 has 3100 mah and S4 has 2600 mah. Biggest difference for battery comsumption is screen but the difference in battery size doesnt make up the difference.

2600 for a 5" LTE phone is terrible; my wifi SGP 5.0 was "ok" with 2500; my original AT&T Note kinda ok with an aftermarket 2700. Bleh.

It's always a bad time to buy a new phone.
There will always be a new one coming out or just around the corner. ..
Your on the Note II forum. ..so expectations and answers to be more positive for it than any other.
Right now. ..this phone is still the best for those who want a big screen. .fast cpu..plenty of new roms/themes/add ons and have a Spen to use.
Others have their own strength and weakness as well. .so figure out what you really want. ..and go from there.
Being stuck with this phone for 2 years isn't a problem. ...if it has what you want and need really. ..it's just not going to be the latest version out soon. ...BTW plenty of folks still use their Note 1's....
Ask yourself what you need. ..as opposed to what the companies are promoting as the next big great thing...because this is how they rope folks into always wanting something new.

I feel DIRTY

I was a Samsung fanboy when my first experience with them was the Galaxy Note... then on to the Note 2...and NO I didnt jump on the Note three...because the Optimus G Pro was available from ATT and OH MY GOD I have loved this phone for the last year.
It's Durable, fast, root-able, beautiful to look at and use and well.. I love it.
But the other day while talking to ATT about my account (and threatening to leave for TMO) they decided to give me an early upgrade (1 yr early!) so I jumped on the S5 to see what all the fuss was about.
I have to say its a nice phone, MUCH lighter and thinner and just as fast as my OG Pro...I'm not missing the .4 inches of screen real estate I was expecting to notice, but after a few days I haven't found anything that I dont like about the GS5...
EXCEPT!!!!
Its locked down, no exploit in place and it looks like it might never be rooted.
So I'm torn... the G3 is being announced in like 90 mins... and hopefully available on ATT shortly after...and the G Pro 2 is out...yet not available state side.
So what am I to do? If the G3 wows me like it is probably going to do.. I will beat feet back to the ATT store and return my GS5 and use my OG Pro till the G3 is available for purchase.....
I really do like the dust/water proof-ness of my GS5...I've already dropped it in the dog's water bowl and of course, no issues at all. That's a nice thing to have with a 700 dollar device.
Anywho... I'm hoping the G3 really wows the hell out of me, because I definitely like that 5.5 inc QHD display

Go for g3.
Previously I thought super amoled were best. But after using and experiencing this g pro for about an year, i feel it's IPS display is far better than super amoled. Yesterday I played for a couple of minutes with s4. I was shocked to know and feel that how much inferior it felt compared to ogp. And also felt the screen size was too small after having g pro for one year. In fact the s4 seemed very inferior to me compared to ogp. So I can easily visualize how inferior s5 might feel compared to g3.

I remember my i717, between Flapjaxx ROM's and JamieD81 Paranoid Android's builds it kept me busy, it was the beginning of the JB era.

Nexus 6 or Note 4 off topic

I know this is G Pro thread but one day all of us will get another phone. The G pro has been a awesome device. The best phone I have ever had. But I want a new one. So I want the Nexus 6 or Note 4. I am asking yall which one. Yalls advice would be appreciated. I am stuck on deciding both are good. I went into att and looked at both. The note 4 has all the bells and whistles. The nexus 6 is big I like. The Nexus will get all the updates first. The Note 4 will not which really does not matter since we root and flash our phones. I would love to hear yalls input on this thanks.

i feel the need to get another phone myself, been thinking on the note 3 before im not able to get from att, and the final price of these phones are getting rediculous, i paid 389 for the g pro, the note 4 is 825! nexus 6 on att 683, my dilemma is note 3 is 699 final and a lil outdated to some, but i have to do the next plan on att so its a matter of how much im willing to spend in taxes. i dont have the money to drop these prices on the phone outright so att being my carrier gotta go with what ya can afford. have an expensive phone and drive a rollscanhardly or save some loot and drive a spark..... decisions decisions! 825 for the note 4! that damn thing better read my mind, play ps4 and xbox games, and get me high at the same time. oh and make bacon too

Note 4 the way to go
Sent from my LG-E980

I'm staying
I am staying with the g pro I'm not changing phone till there no more custom roms left. There some people that don't even have smartphone.

I'll be staying with the OGP till there are quality 64-bit devices worth buying.
If I had to choose today between the nexus 6 and the note 4, I would take the Nate 4 due to:
1. Screen quality
2. Better battery life
3. Removable battery
4. SD
5. S-pen, adds some benefits
Nexus 6 is about the development community more than anything though, there should be plenty of community support for the note 4 as well.

LG G Pro 2
Nuff said.

Did you see the new lg g 3 Vista? It is 5.7 in and it is only 375$. I mean it's not the best but it looks like a good phone. Check it out

I'd rather get 1+1 if price is a problem. Nexus 6 and Note 4 aren't very smooth (some reviews said so). Maybe because the QHD screen. And if I want a new phone, I want it to have no lag at all.
Xperia Z3 Compact is very alluring, 801 with 720p. The battery is very good too. But the screen is smaller and that might become a problem for you. I'll definitely get this device if I can't get the 1+1.
If you want to wait though, device with snapdragon 810 is around the corner (february?). Rumor also said 1+2 will be coming soon.

love those features!
note 4 has physical button to wake, it's a plus unless you have the double tap to wake.

The external SD card is a nice feature on any phone. But no devices get supported in an official way like nexus devices, both vanilla Android from Google and the various roms from the developer community both end up supporting the devices real well.

That's one of the reasons why I am leaning towards the nexus 6 because of development and updates. But that note 4 does have some cool stuff. Someone mentioned the 1+1 when that phone came out I was all on it. Thinking this is great high specs cheap price. Then they pulled this invite crap. They lost me good luck still trying to get one.

I would suggest to wait till almost quarter of next year (2015). You would see some 64 bit devices coming to the smartphone market.
At present I don't think one should spent so much money on Nexus 6 or Note 4 or even Z3.
They are all 32 bit, probably you might not notice a drastic change in you experience moving to any of these device.
Wait for 64 bit chips Snapdragon 808 or 810, wait for 4k screens coming next year.
Waiting now shall prove fruitful for you.
For now I have sold my GPro and bought a used Nexus 5 device, pretty, doing this is pretty common here.
I did not go for a new expensive phone for all the reason I just gave.

How about a G Flex?

I liked that phone when it came out but was disappointed in the screen resolution. That phone is still just as expensive as the others.

IMHO I basically see no 'usable' difference between 720p and 1080p. But that is just my view.
Further a new G Flex is now available for around $300-350, while a note 4 will cost almost double of that, so you could save tons of money for sure
