So, I am deciding to upgrade my s3 to either the note 2 or note 3. The issue is mainly cost; is it really worth it?
What I love about the note 3 are the s-pen features - being able to have that wee little pop up menu and apps along with it I("airview") AND the note 3 has awesome handwriting recognition.
Also love the new camera interface.
If I get the note 2, update to 4.3, will I have those?
or
Will I need to put on a custom rom?
Thx!

Hi,
I have a note 1 LTE Stock ICS4.0.4, I find everything very smooth except the S-Note/ S-memo. I wonder how much better for note 2 in this regard. Any people compare note 1 and note 2 for this?
thx

I draw alot on my note and use the s pen alot.
I had Note 1 and now Note 2. Use both frequently for S Note.
I must say the S Note in Note 2 is considerably faster.
Just one thing and i dont know its reason. Opening pen-selection tool takes around 3-4 seconds in note 2. I dont know why. Everything is else sax
Hello,
I'm getting rid of my old Nokia n900 and looking into the world of Android devices.
Right now I'm in between Note 2 and Note 3. Regarding KNOX, eFUSE and rooting, which Note should I chose over the other one and why?
Is the Note 2 software-wise on the same level as the Note 3? With custom ROM's it seems to be but that would trigger eFUSE/KNOX and void the guarantee?
Thanks a lot!
Note 2 is better ....Note 3 might have extra features bt u can get them on note 2 by rooting.
Note 2 right now has gr8 on price
And also note 3 is unstable..

i really dont know which place u belong to but i will be referring to india for the time being..
Comparing the phones is not actually the right thing..
Those who have a NOTE 2 dont find it WORTH upgrading to a Note 3..!!
Having said this.. Note 2 costs 26-28 k depending on the place you are located in india..!
Note 3 costs 44-47 K again depending on state to state..!
so the difference is pretty huge..!
Note 2 is getting kitkat which is the latest android version for the time being.. But it is not getting any of the Note 3 features..!
And as far as my eperience goes with samsung KK 4.4.2 will be the last update for Note 2
Note 3 has already got kitkat official now..!
So u will be rooting a Note 2 triggering knox or voding warranty ( if it has 4.3 Out of the box) else u wont trigger knox and find a way around like we all have done here..!
and u will flash Note 3 pack to have a note 3 feel..!
So my take is If u can afford (i could not) Go for a Note 3 directly and stick to it for some time.. For me Note 3 is the only touchwiz phone i have not seen lagging till date..!!
Cheers..!

Thanks for your replies! As I don't own either of them it won't be an upgrade but a start from scratch.
I've found an unused Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with T-Mobile branding for € 250. I guess that's a bargain.
A new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7105 LTE will be € 329 cheapest from a shop, used ones are around € 260 on Ebay.
Looking forward to get that Note 3 - I was looking for a black one and this is white but no questioning for the price.
I think it is a good deal.................. go ahead
Hi,
Does anyone know where can I get the Note 3 S Planner? I currently have the S5 one, but I miss the handwriting features.
Hello a few weeks ago I met someone with a Galaxy Note 2 who was running a custom OS on his phone that gave him Note 3 capabilties which made me wonder, can I run a Note tablet OS on my Galaxy Tab S and buy an S Pen that will allow me to use features like Air Command & S Note?
If so, I'd like to know how. Thanks in advance.
Won't work. You can't run a note ROM on a tab S and the tab S screen isn't capable of reading an S pen.
I remember seeing some S pen stuff in the list of installed apks in the stock ROM. I suspect they all use more it less the same software. If the hardware isn't there, it is left unused.
Similarly, you see some phone stuff in the Wi-Fi version. Doesn't mean you can make calls.
One of the coolest features in my opinion about the Note 5 is the fact that you can take out the S-Pen and start writing instantly. I was wondering if that feature would ever be possible to bring to the Note 4 especially not having root because I am liking the Note 5 for other reasons as well as that feature, but I think I would stick with my Note 4 if that feature would be possible to bring over. Thanks.
Agree
I would love this feature. I would switch custom roms for this feature.
