Yeah..soon hoepfully...though its not really a HUGE upgrade from the S3. It's basically a larger S3 with a stylus. It will launch with Jelly Bean but we'll get the ugrade soon so I dont think ima jump ship..but you never know though..might change my mind when I actually hold it
In a business enviroment, the way they implemented the s-pen to work as a MAJOR feature of the note 2, it is going to change the course of smartphones pretty drastically. I think once it is out, and its functioning as they designed, people are going to start expecting a new level of interaction and function with their phones that will likely set the enviroment of which other manufactures will have to adapt to or be eaten. I could go on, but point here, This phone is going to be a big influence in what tomorrows devices will be capable of and i think it it is going to show undeniable ingenuity in the smartphone business that cannot be ignored.:beer:

Rumor has it that the note 2 will have an exynos quad 4412 with lte.

It really is MUCH more than a stylus, its the leader of its 5 in. Ecosystem. Its designed to lead the software even better than the software was designed to acknowledge its directions.
Save one for the s4

My source says you should wait at least until the end of this month to make a decision. I trust it so I'm holding off on upgrading now.
True, the note 2 is coming out and might be worthy of one of your upgrades. Personally I would buy two iPhone 5s and flip em, make 5-600$ and keep my GS3.

I'm in the same boat. Just got the GS3 on release day, have an upgrade available and another coming in 173 days. Probably going to pick up the Note 2 as soon as it's available.

Why would the S4 come with an S-pen? The Galaxy S line has never used a pen. That's why the Note has one... if they included a pen with the S4 there would be nothing that sets the Note apart from the crowd.

I know this and i know it wouldnt be a good thing for samsung to do this since it would lower the amount of buyers for the note. I was hoping it did come with one though.. Also theres the Spen for the note but they also made a Cpen that works on the sgs3 and hoping something like that works with it.

They have a generic stylus that works with any capacitive touchscreen, not the same functionality as the s pen by a long shot.

If SGS4 came with a S-Pen then it become a Galaxy Note Mini not SGS4.

Re: Tracking the s4 new update 2/23
You don't know for sure that they're using a qualcomm chip instead of exynos, you might why to edit the op to say that it's just speculation. And that would be suicide,I would not buy the s4 if it didn't come with exynos

There will be an announcement for it is on March the 14th, not a release unless that means instant release for most international gsm carriers. As far as release date for usa sales, who knows when that will be be plus we all know sprint users will be getting it on a delayed release.

Hey guys I'm getting a new device in a few months. And my choice is weather the nexus 4 or the galaxy s4. So I'm wondering would you reccomend the s4 and if possible tell me some of the features you like about it. Even though I'll be building/flashing custom ROMs/kernel on what ever device I get I would still like to know some of the features you guys like so I can decide on which device to get

Tough to answer right now, in the next few months a few more new phones should be out. The Note 3, the nexus 5, the Moto X, maybe the LG G2, who knows what else...
Today? If your looking for the most powerful device in TMo's current lineup, price be damned, then the S4. If your on a budget, the Nexus 4 is just fine.
Note 3. I'll be getting it when it comes out and keeping my s4

Price doesn't matter much. Because my dad told me if I get good grade after my first trimester back at school he will buy me any phone I want. Since every one else in my family upgraded and I'm stuck with my olld sgs vibrant. And if the new nexus is out by then than I'll problebly get that bit I've been lookin at the s4 and the n4
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
S4 because it can be a higher powered nexus device if you want it to me. I converted my s4 to a s4 Google play edition and I'm on 4.3 and will get updates just as nexus devices do...

Get the nexus 4 or wait two months and get the 5. I like the s4, but I don't use most of its features. I really love the screen tough.

I am eligible for an upgrade and was wanting some input on what others would do. Should I get the S5 or Note 3 or just wait for the Note 4 or S6 if there will be one?

Def not worth getting the N3 now on contract. Personally I couldn't downgrade to a smaller screen (S5). I might just buy the N3 used. I'm DEFINITELY upgrading to the N4.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
I am in the same boat and have decided to just wait on the Note 4. The battery flap on the S5 ruins it for me for some reason.
I already have most all of the Note 3 features on my Note 2 so there is no real reason to upgrade to that one either.
Thanks for your input everyone. I think I'll be waiting for the Note 4 as well. I also don't see myself downgrading to a smaller screen since I've had the Note 2. I kind of like the attention it gets when I pull it out. Cough cough lol

There is a thread in the stickies for discussing upgrading and other devices. Please use it.

Place your bets here.
Am guessing kit Kat is the last official update we are gonna see.
Sent from my SPH-L900
Highly doubt it. Most Samsung devices get 2 major updates and kitkat was be the second for us. (Thankfully we skipped 4.2.2) there will be aosp ports probably but the functionality will be greatly reduced.
Plus most of us will be moving on to the note 4 by years end...
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium HD app
I don't see why not. The Note 2 is more than powerful enough to run anything that Android throws out, and Kit Kat actually lowered system requirements. Even with Touchwiz on top, the Note 2 is more than powerful enough to run whatever the next version of android is.
Now, the question is, how long will it take to actually get said update...

I agree with @Leoisright doubt we will get it. Samsung states they will support their devices for 18 months. Which we have reached. Now the S3 (most versions) did get kk but that is just the exception that proves the rule. Lol.
