I have the note 2 and I could use a lighter phone while being the same size

Thanks. .. probably just have to get in my hands on it for hours

Yea, I mean for the size of the note 2 it's pretty light. But an even lighter phone would make one hand operation a little easier to use, allowing you to maneuver the phone around better with just one hand.

also, less impact force when it hits the ground
This is my first note phone. Previously had the S2, S3, and S4. Damn I wished I had jumped on the note series earlier. This phone is awesome. Really liking it. Screen is beautiful and I love the way it feels in my hands.

EDIT: I just read it will have a 1.6ghz Qua core Exynos CPU... I may very well want that in my life!
Can't wait until November, loved the original Note....might be leaving sprint to get it if they don't roll out lte in NY by then.

Take it from me you'll get use to it fairly easy, and whoever said they couldn't fit a note in their pocket is lying, I normally wear skinny jeans and never had a issue with the original note. Only thing I will say is that it will look fairly ridiculous holding it up to your ear to talk, but I've never been one to worry about what people say or think, and I got plenty of compliments about the phone on a daily basis while commuting in the city.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
im very interested in this and conflicted on what to do...
i never even held the original note, but i dont mind the bigger size at all... the more the better to me, and with those specs, wooooo...
might have to hold onto one in the store before deciding what to do...
One thing I'm looking forward to is the stylus, I haven't had one since the touch pro 2, I liked it a lot. Less fingerprints, but I don't like how it's on the Bottom? why would they make it come out of the bottom, it's going to wear out and simply fall out eventually... kinda stupid but whatever...
Yup, I'll be selling my S2 and S3 to pick one up as soon as they come out!

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!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
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.

forget about those biased reviews, you'll never go wrong with Note 2
Today I gave my son the OG Notr and bought the Note 2. Fast is the first thing that crossed my mind onbstock no less.
I received the multipane update and works fine. It almost feels like a smaller phone than the OG. I guess because its a tad more narrow. My smaller hands like that. Battery life noticeably better and I dont have power saving enabled but am on auto brightness. Speaker a little more clear and crisp. Voice calls are not as muffled. Screen looks good. Camera improved with HDR and extra features. I have a feeling a lot to read about new spen but will do that.
I bought this at BB for 249.00.

I too like the more narrow feel. Makes it easyer to use one handed :thumbup:

I'm glad you like the upgrade! :good:
Sometimes when I look between it does seem like the Note 2's screen is smaller, it's narrow and longer. But it does play tricks on me lol. Wish they didn't make the icon grid size smaller though.

i bought mine off contract directly through at&t... cost me a pretty penny but worth it. though i sold my og note & one x for a nice chunk of chage, so it didn't cost me that much out of pocket. which is always good. not even gonna bother thinking about upgrading till note 3 rolls around. :good:
i have been using the note 2 for more than a month now and still think is a little 2 big. I do have big hands and im 6'1 but still can't get on the size. Note 2 is the best phone i've ever had the only problem is the size. Might go back to the nexus 4 eek: battery life) or switch to the new htc one/Galaxy S4.

I like the size but will go to the next Nexus. Had all the Nexus series and bought this cuz I could not get a N4 at first.

I'm 5'2" and I think it's just right. The big screen is so nice to watch videos on our play games. I feel other phones are just so tiny now, even the S3, and let's not even mention the iPhone. It feels like a toy now.

People we are all different by design, just because you're tall with big hands doesn't mean you carry a big screen device, vice versa. People carry the phones they do because they like it physical differences are irrelevant. If you don't like the device then you shouldn't keep it past the return period,I think it's safe to say people communicating in a note II specific forum don't find the device size an issue......
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
Three weeks with this thing, and it just seems to get easier and easier to hold. The first and second day was a little painful, especially when I tried one handed use like I did with my Nexus 4, and then I realized that it wasn't possible. With that in mind, it is perfectly fine.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Yeah I'm actually the same height and from time to time I feel the same way. It's only when I'm using it one handed, which my hand can manage easily and reach across the screen.. but only by holding the phone precariously, which becomes annoying sometimes.especially considering how big my damn hands are. Everything is so damn pleasing about the phone though that it's hard to really dwell on that. It's only occasionally though, I feel you.

Honestly, I find my Galaxy Nexus a little too small, and I'm really considering the Note 2 due to it's size. The screen is just right to me.

I feel that Note 2 is kind of big for me.I only feel it comfortable using the phone under 5 inches.
Anyone else noticing that the s pen is hard to take out? it doesn't slide out smoothly as with the note 2. Wondering if I have defected unit or something...
Nope. I think in trying to make it more secure they were a little overzealous. I think a spring loaded latch would have been a better option.

I will agree with the above posts and say that the GN3's pen does require some effort to get out.. I even went over that in my initial impressions and/or unboxing videos for this phone.
