Would anyone consider the samsung galaxy note 2?

Now that the quad core processor variant is coming to the us and not just limited to the international market?

It's tempting but I won't know until I see the next nexus. Considering what some carriers do to their devices, I prefer nexus.

Any eta's on the new nexus? or specs it may have?

If the specs on that I-9260 leak is correct and that is actually the new Nexus, I will be getting a Note 2. I will actually be getting a Note 2 either way with my upgrade to sell and fund my new Nexus. That is of course after I sell my G-nex to fund my upgrade!

All upcoming phone discussion should go in this sticky: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642801

The Verizon Note is locked down and over branded.

The i9260 isn't the next Nexus, it's an upcoming TouchWiz phone from Samsung called the "Galaxy Premier" (at least right now).

I dont think I can use another brand other than a nexus. This phone is just great and updates are in a timely fashion that if I was with a Samsung phone with touchwiz the updates wouldnt be happening till 5 months or so after it was released.

I really hope its not, it'll basically be like how Apple went from iPhone 4 to 4s
This will end up being a galaxy nexus s or plus or whatever you wanna call it
I rather have Google wait 1 more year to release an awesome device than a revamped galaxy nexus
Just my 2 cents

I'm getting it.

Thinking about it. 32gb note 2 or a 32/64gb gs3. Need to flip an iPhone 5 first and if I get the note 2 flip a galaxy tab 2 also.
need more high def music...

I want to try out the Lumina 920, hopefully Sprint will get it. If I don't like it I'll probably go for the Note 2 as my winter phone

Since your obviously an XDA user you shouldn't have a problem getting the latest OS on your phone, whatever phone it is

The next Nexus will be revealed January -February.
Now to answer the op question...yes it is tempting...very tempting.
That thing will be BEAST running CM11 LoL

I am going to get one. I was carrying a nexus 7 for 3 weeks and realized I don't need 2 of basically the same product just different sizes. The galaxy note 2 will be a perfect mid point especially since I use my device more of a mobile Internet device/tablet than a phone.

I'm tempted, now that I've gotten used to it, the Gnex screen does not feel so big and all I do with my phone is internet stuff anyway, hardly any actual phone use.

I have been reading up on all the new tablets and have narrowed it down to Samsung i believe.
So what i wanted to do is get you guys opinion on which one i should get.......
1) Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1
2) Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
3) Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0"
4) Google Nexus 10
5) Google Nexus 7

you should first ask yourself, which screen size tablet?
10 inch-
1) Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1
2) Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
3) Google Nexus 10
7 inch-
1) Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0"
2) Google Nexus 7
after that. ask yourself, keep TouchWiz? if so-
1) Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1
2) Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
3) Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0"
or ask yourself, stock/vanilla Android? if so-
1) Google Nexus 10
2) Google Nexus 7

Here we go..... yes i understand this is the galaxy S3 forum....... but this is the general section of the forum.
Let me "re-phrase" my question so that people dont TROLL.
I have a GALAXY S3 and would like to know which of the samsung tablets out on the market work best along side it. Does anyone with a GALAXY S3 have a preference to what tablet they use?

i own a Galaxy S3, and a Nexus 7.
but as you can see in my signature, i'm running CM10 on both. thus i like having the stock Android experience.
back to my original reply. if you like TouchWiz that much. get a Samsung one. if you want a stylus, get the Note 10.1. what screen size do you want? what will you be doing with your tablet?
i mainly use my tablet for reading, so i wanted the 7". i used to have an iPad and a Transformer. both were too large.

I am really looking for a tablet so I dont have to pull out the laptop every time i want to check my email (personal an work) or look at facebook.
I have a nook color on MIUI but i am lookig to upgrade to more of an all in one deal........ email, web, games, spreadsheets

none of the above. And btw, those 3 Samsung are terrible. Just go in any Best Buy and try them, they are ALL sluggish.
You should wait for the next wave IMO.

It has nothing to do with our version of the GS3

Very happy with my nexus 7... I had iPhone 4s and iPad.... Got sick of the oversized iPad so I went to staples and looked at the tablets and loved the smoothness and price of the nexus 7... Bought it and returned my iPad $330 in my pocket.... I then fell in love with android and sold my iPhone 4s on CL and bought the S3... Walked away with $450 cash and better devices.

So this is it?

No more updates from Samsung for our Note 2. Yes I am rooted yes I know how to flash roms been doing it for years. It's just really getting on my nerves how this phone is still a beast and it's pretty much abandoned by Samsung on purpose to herd us to a new phone.
I didn't do a nexus because I was with sprint at the time but since I am gsm now all I need is a nexus with a 5 inch screen.
Sorry about the rant, but it got to me today while lurking the note 2 forums.

Where did you see that? I thought the update was going straight to 4.3 and dropping late this year?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Hope you are right, my hopes are not really that high. Guess it will be all good when I actually see the update.

Samsung sent updates or for GSII earlier this year even as the GS4 was coming out. I see no reason to fret over loss of support at this point. We should be Ok. The limiting factor frankly is T-Mobile...
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

I think maybe one more major update, then 1 or 2 security updates.

Isn't that Samsung's standard mo. I had a behold 2, then a vibrant, same update empty promises. If you want current software get a nexus. I vowed never to buy another non nexus android ever, until I picked up this note 2. I bought this phone knowing that it would never get an update. It's in Samsung's best interest to sell new phones, not update old ones

I'd be willing to bet the Note 2 gets at least android 4.4. Eventually.

Once the Note 3 drops then it will get updated,I mean hell the s2 got Jellybean but it is frustrating waiting though

According to sammobile back in March it was supposed to get 5.0 as we thought it would be called that at the time.
I doubt they would change that but who knows.

No offense but why are you saying stuff like this with no sources? It's just ridiculous... I could understand this a few years ago but not these days. Like another said, it all falls on tmobile and their addition of bloatware, testing, and then its release. And you won't see a major update until the Note 3's drops.

Nah...didn't the S2 just finally get Jellybean a few months back. They may put them on a back burner while they put their efforts into big projects like the Note 3 and Android 4.4 but they come back to these other phones after those releases. Technology is moving so fast they must be scrambling to keep up.

Android 4.3 coming to Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4 in October, no word on Note 2.
I guess we'll wait a little longer...

Have you seen the Unpack event for Note 3 today?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaBP1zLZBzY
Pranav mistry mentioned that an update is coming in October for GS3 and Note2 for Galaxy Gear. Hopefully it will be 4.3

They did indeed say October however I will believe it when I get it. I have a feeling there will be a while a whole bunch of shenanigans with "delays".

October for the international right? Dont then the carriers gotta get their hands on it?? And kit kat is right around the corner? Love this phone but I can't be 2 android version behind..thats 2 years.. google edition note 3 would be nice or im waiting to see what the nexus 5 has in store..

Yup... Very true. But at least when Sammy does release an update... We can be sure ptmr3 (and others) will do a JediX version. The only thing we'll be missing until T-Mobile drops theirs is the WiFi calling. Still with the press releases today... Everything is very exciting lol!
Did everyone see the back? Looks like a leatherish material which means nice grip. That's awesome news alone

Dude be patient! We'll all be very happy soon enough whether people jump to the Note 3 or those who keep their 2 for a while. Updates will come sooner than you think since the 3 will be released. We'll have a international ROM first then us carrier's a couple months later. Good things with happen! Be cool people! Lol

Common sense tells me if the S3 is getting it... We'll be getting it around the same time. I doubt Sammy's promoting it due to the Note 3's close launch. Yeah its rather sneaky but it makes sense, right? Good find though!

[Q] Possible to Install Magazine UI in 2014 edition?

Hi,
With the latest revelation of the Pro tablets with the amazing Magazine UI, It got me thinking what If the Note 10.1 2014 doesnt get the update, I really hope it does but If it doesn't, Will it be possible to install the UI in the device like a custom rom or something?
Please help, I am looking forward to purchasing the 10.1 2014, and If it's possible , I will definitely purchase it because I cant wait for 12.2, Very impatient lol and moreover 12.2 wont be portable enough, atleast that's what i am telling myself so that I can go thru with buying the 10.1
please help

Like you, I was waiting for the new tablets mainly because of the rumor they'd have amoled screens. After seeing the new tablets all have the same internals as the note 10.1 2014, same processor, resolution and same screen (tabpro 10.1 anyway) I ordered my note 10.1 2014 immediately. With these tabs sharing such exact specs I don't see the note 10.1 2014 not getting the kitkat update. I expect it will come just as the new tabs arrive if not before. Besides, the 12.2 is too big for me and way more than I'd want to pay, so this makeshift notepro 10.1 we call the note 10.1 2014 is the sweetspot for me.

How do you expect help when nobody here has seen or touched new UI? Given smart developers here, chances are good it will get ported to 10.1, if Samsung doesn't update 10.1.
Buy this tablet from Costco (if you're in US), they have 90 days return policy. By then new tablets may be out and you'll have choices.

Since the hardware and resolution is identical the rom would run on our devices without modification. So I'd say that chances are close to a 100% that it will get ported if samsung doesn't release an update.
Seeing that they will keep selling this tablet to at least october or and they could release an update with little to no extra work I can't see why they wouldn't release an update when the new tablets are released.

thanks
thanks so much, I finally purcahsed it and it's wonderful

That's a shame. I've always hated touchwiz but I thought MagazineUX looked nice and functional on tablets.

Sammy finally did it.

I've owned:
Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch
Galaxy S4
Galaxy Note 3
Galaxy Note 4
Galaxy S6 Edge
And the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus is the only Samsung phone that has not had any lag when bringing up the recent app screen.
Went does this deserve is own thread? Two reasons:
1. I think this is a huge deal since this has always been a real big pet peeve of mine with Samsung phones.
2. I'm kind of a big deal.

Except t-mobile has still not released the 5.1.1 update yet so battery drain and lag persist on the note 4 and the 5.1.1 ports on our note 4 come with a custom kernel so the battery drain is there even if the lag is gone. That's why I have a S6 edge+ now because the galaxy line always gets updated 1st the note line sits in a corner and wastes away

correct!

i had the s5 and with cm never had lag in recent apps, and on some tw roms also no lag,
with the n4 the phone is literally flying using CM. the s6 edge+ is sexy alright !
but i might move away from Sammy.. i want stock pure android "aosp" is what i like the most.. so i think the Google Nexus might be the phone i will buy next..
either a Nexus 6 or the new one Nexus 5 2015.
i read in a thread that the newer nexus one will be made by huawei? and the n5 2015 by LG? what would the down points be here?
