Note 2 vs Htc One Max - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

I loved my Note 2. It was the best phone i had ever used. I had the htc one when it came out and traded for a note 2. And loved it. So i went into a sprint store. Despite all the bad reviews on the one max. I got one. I have to say best phone ever. The note 3 imo is over rated. Touchwiz is heavy and theres too many features that i would never use.
The one max has the large screen and htc sense is very "lite". Im just saying more people should give this phone a chance. Im tired of the apple vs. Samsung battle

I had an og evo and evo 3d before the note 2. To say sense is "lite" is like saying you have a "little dc-10 bulldozer". Not bashing sense but I worked with sense for a bit (was big reason I got the Og evo) but it is just as bloated and hogs resources just like touchwiz.

Nexus 4?

Anyone here thinking of selling there Galaxy and Getting the Nexus? I'm debating it but the internal only memory is a real dissaponitment especially since I bought a 32 gb sd card with my Galaxy

Gotta wait till the 29th for me to make any decisions, but I'm not gonna lie, the lack of microSD slots these days is really starting to tick me off.
yup I would do that but no sdcards slot makes me say hell no.
But hopefully they release more than 1 nexus, I would few more days.
Well, if you already have the nexus, no SD cards are something that you are uses too. That's probably one of the biggest adjustments I'd say.
Personally, I prefer SD card support.

I'm seriously considering moving over if the Nexus 4 is big hit because the lack of updates is really pissing me off. I was going to originally move over to the Note II but it's too expensive right now, so I rather see what Nexus 4 has to offer.

The note 2 is expensive sadly...but I will upgrade from my Note.
The nexus 4 is extremely lacking in the looks department. The front is a spitting image of the galaxy nexus...and the back? Blah.
HTC would make a killer nexus in the looks dept. Hands down the best looking android phones.

Yeah but HTC is no longer dev friendly... and the build quality of their last couple of Tmo devices has been junk. Just my opinion (and I was a huge HTC fanboy - nexus one, mt4g, amaze, and one s). Amaze and One S were junk by my standards

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Antutu and Quadrant

I got to test the SGN2 last night and i have to say, I LOVE IT! I am getting myself this phone for Christmas. Anyway enough babbling...check out these scores from Antutu and Quadrant. Blew my 3D out of the water.
I totally love this phone. Running Sleshepic's ice reborn. I don't think there's anything that comes close to this thing.

I used to root and run Roms but I feel that in some ways rooting almost shortens my phones life. I bought an Evo 3D and decided not to root and the phone runs great on stock ICS. And I do agree that this phone is topdog amongst the rest. Can't wait to get my hands on mine.

2 years ago I got myself the Evo 4g, had it stock for the 1st year (because I didn't know about rooting) then I got the samsung galaxy tab 8.9. I wanted to use the tab at work & someone mentioned rooting for free wifi tether. Best thing I ever did. I got the flashing sickness. I would sometimes flash 4 to 5 roms a day. Now I have the amazing note2. Anyway, my Evo looks brand new, rooting it didn't harm it in the least. It made it a better phone. Now it's a media device. Just my 2ยข

I had my mind set on getting the note 2 ever since I heard about it, but after watching a video on YouTube that compared the note 2 and the DNA, I'm not so sure. The video ran every benchmark that antutu has to offer and the DNA beat the note 2 in almost every test by a little. Also, the DNA has a larger resolution.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Benchnarks are relative. You dont know if its been overclocked or if one has a bunch of apps or services running. You have to look at the specs and see if its better. I ran both of these benchmarks after reading this and my phone had better results several times and worse results several times.
Sent from my Note 2 on xda premium
I think you have a point. I noticed that the note 2 has a faster clock speed on it's CPU but thought that perhaps the make of the CPU alone could make a difference in performance (Intel CPUs vs AMD CPUs for example).
In regards to resolution, has anyone seen the difference between the note 2 and the HTC DNA? I don't think the video review does a good job of showing the picture quality of each phone.

I have played with both devices and while the DNA is a nice device it does feel sluggish at times especialy when hopping in between different open programs.
As for the display, its all about user preference. I prefer the Note for the vibrant colors. The DNA seemed a little crisper but it also bothered my eyes after staring at it for awhile.

I believe there is a comparison between the two phones as they are both rather large phones and leaders in performance.
I personally don't consider the s pen the note 2's defining characteristic (although I can see why some would). The s pen aside, the note 2 is a beast of a phone. I think of the s pen as an added bonus, similar to my Samsung Epic 4g's slide out keyboard.

These would be the least of the things I would use to consider a new phone. I was just running these and was suprised at the score. I've been set on this phone for a while. And if I don't get it, ill probably consider another HTC. I love the sense.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
I always find myself messing with the benchmark apps of Quadrant and Antutu, it does do a good comparison. And for those who say some times it is slower and sometimes higher.. When you run a car/motorcycle on the dyno or quarter mile don't you also get higher and lower results? It may not be the most concrete comparison system but it isn't garbage.(not saying anyone in HERE called it garbage but have heard it in other places). Anyways for a 7600 score on quadrant what were you running for clock speed min max, the gpu settings etc. I noticed you were on the Venum Ice reborn ROM. it is Odexed, aren't those supposed to be faster?
Also how do the fellas on top of the Antutu boards running the Gn2 run the test at resolutions of like 720x8 and other crazy res's like that?
I had a couple real low 7k quadrant runs but they got wiped flashing ROM's and not saving it. but here's what I do have.

The new blackberry Z10 or Note 2 now?

I use to be the guy walking around with my cool blackberry and use their unified social settings.
Now, I have one line that can be used for upgrading. (plus loyalty discount on all the new phones + 2 year contract)
My dad wants the note 2. And I have the note 2.
Should I use my upgrade towards the new blackberry or get the nexus 4? Or keep the note 2. And why?
I Just wanna hear from different people's perspectives on this situation.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
if you are getting bored of note 2 then try something else new and tell your dad to use your note 2
Well at the end of the day its your decision to make...but with that said...I would say check the Z10 out thoroughly because its new territory and app support and etc... The lg nexus 4 is a beautiful device but you'd be giving up memory card support... Yea I would do a check list as far what you need it for and what features you can and cannot live without ...

To be honest, on my playbook, the os is superb, using bezel gestures as opposed to buttons is awesome. Android didn't catch up until jelly bean ( 4.2 project butter surpasses it) If BlackBerry can get the app support, and a phone with a decent screen, I would think about it, but for sure not the first generation of bb10. I would have to wait to see if the app world catches up. And for them to debug it. Love my note 2 and nexus 4 too much.

I was thinking about the battery life.. ugh but I love the htc one's build quality soo much!!! the note 2 with the same materials as htc one...OMG..it be a dream come true!!
It's a matter of personal taste...if you ever dreamed of an iphone-like device running Android, you're not bothered by the fact that the phone is sealed, doesn't have microSD slot and removable battery and 32GB of local storage are enough, HTC One seems to be the obvious choice. If you enjoy taking your phone apart or fixing it yourself for cheap if it gets damaged, like to have several days worth of battery life as an option and have a considerably sized media library you want to have with you then Note 2 is the way to go.
Galaxy S4 will be missing the support for smart stylus as well, some people welcome the functionality of it and I can't really think of any other phones on the market that would come close to the functionality and precision of the Galaxy Note 2 Stylus. As a galaxy note 2 owner I'm not sold on switching to the HTC One mainly because the most important new features it brings (1080p screen, improved camera, infra red sensor) are not enough to convince me.
Also HTC One is using the Adreno 320 GPU which although really fast right now will become dated sooner than most would believe, after Tegra 4 and the new generation mobile GPUs will hit the market a few months later. I know that not only I will skip the HTC One but also the Galaxy S4...I want to see what the Galaxy Note 3 brings new to the table, I'm pretty damn satisfied with my Note 2 so far.

Sorry but there's no other phone out there that I would give up my Note for, I'm too spoiled by the screen size & 7 hours screen on time & I can never look at a smaller sized phone the same ever again.

My Choice
My Epic 4G died a few days ago and I had an upgrade. I chose the Note 2 over the S4. Battery life, bigger screen (to make up for the loss of my keyboard) and SPen plus other things that I cant put into words sold me. I used both side by side and just loved the Note2. When we get 4.2.2 I think that will make the note 2 even more awesome...IMHO. Now I have TWRP on it and trying out ROMs...Loving the Note 2. :good:

Try synergy. Best rom imohop. I have flashed at least a 100 on my S3. Since I bought the note 2 this is the only rom for this phone. It is stock on speed, but I themed it with a seperate program and have it just the way I like it.

The s4 is a beast of a phone but im waiting on note 3. Still love my note 2 though. Can't see myself going to a smaller screen size.

S4 is beast man who ever said it looks like the s3 in every way can suck it. It dont. It has so many wicked features that we wont get. The screen is so much crisp you can right away tell. 13meg Camera comes in handy in low light litteraly

I don't think the megapixels have much to do with low light as the quality of the sensor itself and f.stop and aperture. I'd much rather a lower MP with better sensor and F.stop than all the megapixels in the world.
But i get your point nonetheless.
Just got my S4 today coming from the Note2 and I have to say I don't miss the Note2 one bit this device is world class
It is amazing. One word wow

What was your problem with the note2? I had a chance to pick up the S4 cheaper than the note2 but choose it because of size which fits me perfectly.
