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:

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.

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.

Jelly bean was all about buttery smooth animation, when was that conference last year? Have we got to wait ages for another conference,?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Just like project butter, there was a rumor of a Project Roadrunner to optimize battery life. Personally the only things that I looking for is that and a more unified and polished looking OS in terms of design language, colors used etc.
Android is moving in the right direction. They have the momentum. All they need to do is 'dumb' it down a bit and make it 'prettier'. To have some of that 'android is for geeks only' nonsense banished. Maybe have like a BASIC MODE for new users.
I agree that Samsung should not be the company that knows when the release will be available, i think it is Google as they are the developers of Android, so it gets back to Google then not Samsung as they are just a hardware manufacturing partner (one in many, like LG & Sony)
Dont worry about features, Google will come up with surprises, have patience, and enjoy your phone
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
It's still to early to talk about this..
We'll probably hear about it at Googo I/O in June, with it launching in July with the Nexus 7 2.0.
So, you can expect it to launch for the Note II around December or January/2014.
The only thing I expect from Samsung is to make a iTunes for Android.
However poor might be apple might be in any terms, no one can deny that iTunes is awesome. You can backup easily, restore easily. If these features get unified into kies, I don't think much would be left to complain except for root in Stock rom

Obviously note 3 will have key lime pie, just very exciting to think of what we will have for the future, and where will the new features be, an example would be the multi screen view, that wasn't even announced at the conference, or the note 2 event, yet it is fantastic,

Depends, if Note 3 is already in the works - obviously they will include 4.2.1 first, as there is no 4.3/5.0 available while the manufacturing process is undergoing. One thing is certain though, both Note 2 and Note will get KLP.

SVDO is the only reason why I'm skipping to the next release, hopefully they'll add it back. But also because it's not that impressive.

Has any one developed an add on for S Voice. In the past I had a Iphone 4s and jailbroke it. Then added some files for Siri. When you launched Siri I would say load brain and Siri would be much funnier, and have great comebacks. Is their an android version?

If the GNote 3 looks anything like that I'll be buying one the 1st day it comes out.
The only thing holding me back getting the S4 is USB mass storage. Not sure why Samsung does not allow that.

Rumors say that it's benchmarks are lower Sg s4
Sent from my LG-P765 using Tapatalk 2
Benchmarks are double that of the S3. Battery is slightly better. My only complaint about the s4 is that sSamsung bloated the software so much that only 8gb is available on a fresh device. After removing bloat I was able to get it to about 9.5gb but that's still not much.
I only got the s4 because my daughter needed a new phone and I wasn't going to pay for another s3 when I can pay a little more for the s4 and pass down the s3 to her. I will still be around the s3 forum as there is 2 of them in the family.
As for the note if I am not wanting something that huge. Might as well carry a laptop or a tablet and put on Skype or something similar

"They also decided on sooner than expected retirement of Samsung Galaxy S3. Which may be a smart move, since for the average person, Galaxy S3 design and performance is not so much different from S4, and the former flagship may be cannibalizing some serious SGS4 sales."
This further supports the theory that Samsung's really going all in in marketing the S4...even by creating another variant!

I will not be upgrading. Eventually all the S4 tweaks and mods will be on the S3 maybe. This phone runs way to good to upgrade just for some faster speed. Yes the S4 had better hardware and everything but I don't see it worth the upgrade.

I think the only reason I would, would be for a S4 Zoom or Active.. But I hear the zoom has lesser specs due to the camera hardware. Still have 1.5 years on this contract though.

I hear that! As long as Devs keep building for s3, I'm not upgrading. I also read that Samsung may have over-priced the s4, which could hurt them if more people are buying their phones outright to avoid contracts...

Well, it didn't take them very long to get the better processor for the S3.... oh wait....
Good, maybe the prices will tank and I can pick up a used S4. Probably have to wait... I'm in no hurry though.
I like the Active, don't see the point in the Zoom. Might as well just buy a camera.

I agree. I believe the note 3 will launch with the newest version, international note 2 will get updated shortly after (I'd say a few months) then the last update will be us.
Only other option would be to get 4.2 out on the note 2 (all variants) as quickly as possible and launch the note 3 with 4.3 in late October. I can't really see this happening though in my opinion. The less versions Samsung and the providers have to check and test the better it is on everyone.

The other option will NEVER happen. If they were to release 4.3 for our phones before the note 3 comes out..... they'd be shooting themselves in the foot because then there would be no reason to upgrade. This phone is already on the edge of perfect. New OS is really the only reason I would upgrade when the time comes for me.

But what about leaked builds
The DNA got leaked builds of sense 5 like 2 months after it was released
And there still isn't the official build for it
