It's big, it's beautiful, it's fast, it's smooth, camera quality, screen quality, s pen experience is all top notch, and it's the new kid on the block. Not sure about you guys, but I haven't seen much advertisement for this device (in Hawaii) which tells me that there won't be too many people with it (in Hawaii). Kinda makes me feel special.

Good battery (according to my usage, I had to change battery twice and I had to change the battery once).
More natural white and other color.
Smooth operation (no shutter when watching TV through HD Homerun).
Removable battery (do you see the first line?)
Ample 32GB internal storage.

So far I love everything about the Note 3 (even Touchwiz) but hands down the screen is the best part about this phone. I walked into T-Mobile today and the screen is so vibrant it made every other phone in the store look like garbage.
Everything. Some things amaze me, like the charging time. Unreal how quick it charges.

Everything! And now to add to the list of awesomeness that is the Note 3, I just found out the it's ANT+ compatible. I just tested this successfully by pairing it with a Garmin ANT+ heart rate monitor!

Eeeeeverything. Seriously. This phone is nothing short of amazing.
Or maybe it's because I was in purgatory with an HTC Sensation for 2+ years. The Sensation was so bad, I almost broke down and upgraded to an SGS4 when my contract was up. But I held out for three more months knowing the GN3 would come "soon". Longest three months ever.
But if I had to highlight something great about the GN3, it would be the battery life, performance and screen. Yea ok, those are three things but you really can't just pick one good thing to say about this phone.
The screen for sure. I don't have my Note 3 yet (ordered on Negri Electronics last night) but from playing with it in store that screen outshined my Note 1 screen by a ton, much better color and white balance while having impossibly small pixels. That screen alone seems worth the upgrade.

Phonearena was totally unfair with that article. Do they actually try these phones before writing about them. The Droid Incredible 2 is the best phone that VZW has out now. Zero lag, nearly bug free gingerbread, best battery life of any VZW phone (20+ hrs), its a multitasking machine, great build, fast data speeds for 3g, and,more. This single core phone performs better in a side by side comparison against the x2 and d3 which lag even though they have dual cores. This phone has everything that was promised in a dual vote phone but is just single core, go figure.

Sorry just saw your post. 20+ is with medium usage. I have gotten well over 24 with light usage. Heavy usage is more like 16+.
I am unrooted running stock 2.3.3 gingerbread. I have screen brightness down to 40%. I have my widgets, email, etc set to update manually. I still have auto sync and background data on. My screen time out is set to 30 secs. I use Elixir to kill background processes for apps that I don't use like VZ Navigator every once in a while. I don't kill apps that I use and need to keep in memory. I try to kill as little as possible.
Maybe try a stock based rom to get better battery as CM7 is not based on the stock OS our phones came with.

I have a upgrade and Im wondering which phone to get. I like the s3 a lot. Especially the new touchwiz. But I don't like that it could be glitchy and a cheap build. Plus I have had my note for about 6 monthes and I have had some screen problems like the weird ruff spots on it. And I don't want to have the same problems again with the s3. Also is the overheating fixed? I don't want to root this phone (atleast for now) I just want a nice clean reliable and custom experience. Also is the retina display noticeably better? If you have had any problems with your s3 please tell me. Any opinions will be helpful. I'm pretty open minded right now.

Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
The note is great its just a tad to big. The 4.8 inch screen of s3 is great size for me. But I have heard it has a number of problems like overheating and its fragile compared to other devices or so I've read. A HUGE pet peeve I have is when the plastic battery door creaks and squeaks. Is that apparent on the g3? And if it does, how well do those metal doors on eBay work?

Are all the us carrier versions the same spec wise?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Depends.
If by "overheat" you mean getting uncomfortably hot, that only happens when you play intensive games like NOVA3 for extended periods of time.
Backdoor creak has never happened to me, but my buttons on the side creek occasionally.
As for your options, honestly the One X doesn't look shabby, but remember that there is less development in that sector, and that the SGS3 has plenty of devs.
As for the iPhone 5, I can tell you from my experience-- that if you enjoy Android, stay away from iOS unless you want to dumb yourself down to a trained monkey. That's my biggest problem with iOS, it's made for extremely simple people. Jailbreaking can't fix the nature of that OS, and that made me dump my iPhone.
In my opinion, I think you should get the SGS3. Build quality won't reach the iPhone 5's, but other then that you won't have any regrets. Besides, you can always exchange.
Goodluck bud!
PS: All US Carrier models are the same, besides the radio. Same Dual Core A-15's @ 1.5GHz.
The main problem I have with the s3 is build quality,reliability,accessories. The iPhone 5 IA built so nicely it makes me feel like it's actually worth 200-300 dollars. The s3 just doesn't give me that quality feel.

I've had my S3 since early July, naked screened, and when i wipe the slight smudges off of it from my fingers, it shines like the day i bought it.
As for the battery door.... yea, i'm pretty sure the only people you'd hear about it being squeaky or cheap from are the iPhone 5 Republic. To them, anything plastic is sh*t anymore. I'd hate to have seen how they chose a phone 6+ years ago, when very few phones even used a THIN metal shell, and smartphones were limited to Windows Mobile and Blackberries basically. I never hear a noise from it, and it's far from cheap feeling. It's actually Polycarbonate plastic.
I've had it running a custom ROM since i'd say just under a month into having it.... but i still tend to stick to the tweaked stock roms more than CM10 stuff, simply because i like the TouchWiz camera. Runs fantastic.
Now Im reading about loose power buttons and even one guys supposedly fell off. OS and screen size of the s3 combined with the build quality,reliability, and retina display of the iPhone 5 would be a fantastic phone.

It's an amazing device.... the screen is beautiful 5.55" of a NONPENTILE Super AMOLED, stellar battery life. The quad core exynos CPU and jelly bean makes the user experience super fluid. People are also saying that the phone is too big but personally that's why I like it so much - it makes my old iPhone4S look like a toy.

Pixel density is lower but gs3 is pentile I believe. This has some hybrid pixel arrangement. Though, I never saw a gs3.

Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Best feature this phone has is Android. Hands Down.
Slap a giant screen on an iPhone and it still is tied to iOS. Can't fix that one.
But on the serious side, the best feature to me, is the marriage of a Large screen and the extra sensitive S Pen. The large screen is great, but anyone can do a large screen. And an S Pen is great too, but it would be crap on a screen any smaller than 5" or so. Can you even imagine trying to use an S Pen on a screen the size of iPhone?
Everything else that Sammy did to make the S Pen and Screen marriage work well is important too, as without all the other pieces, this phone would leave something to complain about.

Awesome screen, awesome battery, so much horsepower and gps that really works (coming from ET4G that never locked)...

No idea unfortunately... I think SF is going to be a slow deployment though. Doubt Sprint will risk burdening a popular city with a crappy upgrade.
This may be a repost, but if you don't feel like repeating... Don't lol.
I've been with my Note 2 for about 3 weeks now and this is truly one of the best "first experiences" with a mobile device I've had. I've been rocking a screen in my pocket since the old Windows "Palm top" days. Remember those Windows CE devices that looked like tiny laptops? I Even had a compact flash 56k modem (maybe 28.8?). Now that was the sh*t.
So yeah maybe some of the "first" mobile devices back then did blow me away, but man I freakin love this phone!
I picked up and played with my Evo3D and I just dont think I could ever go back. Holding a "normal" sized phone just feels inferior. Not to mention having the Spen. I "grew up" using a stylus so having it is just a huge bonus. Granted a good multitouch, capacitive touch screen is great and practically makes a stylus unnecessary. It's still great to have it when you want it.
So how about you? Can you go back to a 4.0-4.5 inch screen? Or are you a permanent convert?

I dont think I could go back to a 4.5 or 4.75 screen. I could see myself trying out the GS4 just because it should have a 5" screen. I love my Note and the screen. I don't think I could go smaller but if I had to, a 5" screen would be my limit. And the only reason I would consider that is because occasionally the Note does not fit my shirt pockets lol.

I wouldnt ever be able to go back to a "normal" sized phone. My husband says the phone is too big, but I dont even notice it. I love having the large screen to watch movies on and take videos with.
I'm hooked on phablets I can't help but look at my EVO3d with contempt. My next phone will likely be the Note 3.
* I'm Rick James, *****! *
nope 5.5 is perfect!
I don't think I can.. I still keep my Evo LTE as a back up and from time to time I activate it to play with some roms and use it for a day or two and I can't wait to use the Note 2 again lol
I was an iPhone lover all the way. Got a new one every 2 years and was just now waiting for the next one to come out and I was going to buy it but then I saw the NOTE and in 5 seconds I had made up my mind to buy it and sell the iPhone. Bear in mind it wasn't JUST an iphone for I have a Macbook Pro, Apple TV, iPod docs, and so on..........but it was gone in a flash and I could never buy a phone smaller than this one, the Note 2. I also picked up a Note 1 I got brand new in the box, unopened for only $125 and threw it on another plan.
I do have an S3 which is almost as big but I am here just to find out how to root it and then I am going to sell it on a forum in my home city although its a great phone, its not as big as the note so i wouldn't keep it
Yes, its got to be a big screen all the way

Reasons I switched to the Note 2 from S3:
1. Stopped eyeing the RAM usage after closing every app.
2 . I barely use my laptop now thanks to the bigger screen for watching movies or editing documents on the go, the S3 could handle it but the screen just felt small and the Note2's S pen helps alot especially with lower DPI.
3. Newer than the S3 and felt like it would be a while before it goes outdated, again it's partly because of the additional RAM which makes it feel future proof for the next year or so.
4. My wife has an S3 and I felt like since I'm bigger than her I should have a bigger phone
5. Because of the wider screen, the keys are bigger and it's more comfortable to type on with both thumbs.
6 . because I think I deserve the best!

Me too. I decided today to get Note 2 after 10 months of owning S3 and S4 seems not to be really big step ahead. Note 2 battery, RAM and screen FTW!
Screen, battery, RAM, in this order!
REALLY???

Unless you don't want a big screen phone, there isn't anything better about the S3 compared to the Note II. The Note II is better in every way possible. If you are truly on the fence about the two devices, then let me tell you to stop wasting you time comparing the S3 vs the Note II and start comparing the S4 vs the Note II.
