Coming From Iphone 4s ?

u guys think that it will be a good choice for me or not ?

This is an Android forum and more importantly an Android phone...what do you think people are going to tell you? Haha j/k
If it was apps you were worried about Android Market will probably overtake App Store in a year or two so I'd say go for it
It's personal preference but I'm sure you definitely wouldn't regret it. You seen Ice Cream Sandwich?!?! Daymmmm!

Yes, it will be a good choice.
Imagine the screen size only, that's enough to laugh about iPhone 4S tiny screen

I went from the iphone to the SGS2 and it didn't work for me I was told to try a pure google phone for what my needs were, I have not bought it yet as I'm waiting to see if it's going to be recalled or maybe get a phone from a fresh batch, the apps are somewhat different then on an iphone for an example is the pandora app for say if you turn it landscape you won't get the playlist you listened to during your secion(like you can't look back and see what you listen to and see all the album covers, some apps are better in android then on the iphone some I prefer some I don't JAMOP ,

Dude. Use a period or two.
The iPhone is the top-of-the-line iOS device while the Nexus is the same for Android. The 4S won't have a successor for at least 6 months, while the Nexus could easily cruise a year. That being said, both will be outspecced pretty quickly by quadcore Android phones. Try the Nexus out, IceCreamSandwich is the main feature, as is the HD screen. If you don't like it, go back to the 4S, or wait for some new Android phones. The 4S and Nexus are almost on par in terms of hardware, and are both flagship devices. Either one is a great choice, just depends on your UI preference.

We can't make that decision for you !, I didn't like the SGS2 because of the OS matched up with the hardware, The hardware is all there but it doesn't really work together with it's OS, It's not like how apple puts together their phone everything works like a well oiled machine, it's just not there for some reason, it's all a matter of how one notices it. This is my opinion and I'm hopping for a better phone experience this time around with google as the hardware picker and maker of there OS ICS and definitely not samsung the plastiqek phone maker, I would have liked LG or HTC make it. JMO like it or not

I just made the jump from iOS (3Gs, 4, 4s) to an SGSII, and it will be hard to go back, for me. Customization and larger screens were my main reason for jumping, and I haven't been disappointed. iOS still wins for the ecosystem and interoperability elegance, but I am happy with my choice.
On a side note, my SGSII is going back (bought an unlocked Nexus S) because like the 4s, it is not compelling enough to use my upgrade on for two years. I'll see what comes out in 2012 for an upgrade.

I'm buying this nexus outright and saved my upgrade for the iphone 5, I want the iphone 5 early shipped to me.

If you like to customize and do things like put ROMS, kernels, over clocking and such.
Android is now the way to go.......maybe in the past it was iOS but now they are pretty even.
Android is a lot better now especially with ICS....at least they finally decided to implement hardware acceleration -.- which is what iOS did since the beginning making it feel so much more fluid than android.
Anyways, if you sell your iPhone 4s, i would say get the GSII and save a few hundred bucks, especially since the Galaxy Nexus is costing more than the iPhone 4s even sells for. Then use that money when the GSIII or iPhone 5 come out.

I have both the iPhone 4S and Galaxy Nexus.
The iPhone 4S has superior build quality, camera and video recording, games, and vastly superior battery life.
The Galaxy Nexus has the best display I've ever seen, even better than Retina IMO! I can't believe people are bashing Super AMOLED HD or saying Retina is still way better. I have no complaints about the screen, its jaw dropping. Android 4.0 is the best OS out IMO as well. IOS 5 is cool and all, but I can't help but feel that Apple isn't innovating as fast as they should. Google literally redesigned and improved every aspect of Android in one update. In these past 4 years iOS looks nearly identical to how it did when it first launched, as well as many of the stock Apple apps. Every Google app got a giant facelift and improvement: YouTube, Gmail, Google Maps etc. And they look beautiful on this screen. The phone is pretty big overall but I'm getting used to it and its awesome. Performance is very good as well.
I've had the phone for roughly half a day and battery doesn't seem that good yet but I'll reserve judgment for a few more days.
I honestly can't believe Google improved Android this much in just one update. Its amazing.

I agree. People dog the 4/4s because they will shatter, but the build quality and materials are excellent. It doesn't feel cheap.
I liked the SGSII, initially, but it has always felt cheap and the big screen has terrible resolution. I realized that Android was what would keep me here. I'm looking forward to some premium look and feel Android devices to match the potential of Android OS.

In the smartphone game EVERY phone that comes out is eclipsed in 3-4 months as far as specs are concerned, that's just the nature of the beast now. The thing about the iPhone and the Nexus phones are that there is only one device made every year despite all the other ones that come out with newer faster hardware or whathaveyou. The Nexus phones were designed to have hardware and software work hand in hand more so than any other Android phone. Both of the previous Nexus devices are the only ones running 2.3.6 (to my knowledge - and the NS4G has 2.3.7) which is one update ahead of everyone else - brand new phones are being launched with 2.3.5. If you're gonna make the jump, you're going to want the pure Google experience.

The SG2 has been out for 7 months and is still one of the most powerful smartphones out there in terms of hardware.

I was going to say that LOL but he's also mentioning a phone that come out once a year samsung puts out phones ever three months

That's because of the timing it launched in. With 4 cores around the corner things will change fast .
But I have to say this to OP, me personally I have no desires to go into contest of who has the longer piss, what matters to me is the user experience, as long as it is smooth and fast I don't care about hardware much as long as it would support the latest software. Because overtime all the wow effect will diminish and you'll be left with the software.
I would change from the iPhone to anything just because of the tiny screen.

I left apple because iphone 4s wasn't an upgrade to me, I also wanted to try something different in life because I had the 2G 3G 3Gs 4 and wanted to see what else is out their and like I said the SGS2 was not for me and I would have turned back if someone didn't say give the google phone a try ( because of what I wanted in a phone ) So here I am waiting to purchase soon, just waiting for the first update and for the second batch to appear
from what I read on iclarified they said (speculation of course ) apple is working on a 4" phone That would be good and I hope they make both because a lot of people like using one hand when surfing and the iphone is great for that in size

Worth it?

Currently have the iPhone 5 (which I'm kinder bored of already) sold my S3 for it. I bought it for £599 in the UK 32gig version but can sell it for £639 - Thinking of doing this. Back to my question, is the Note II worth it?
Its keep the iPhone 5 and get the Note 10.1 or sell the 5 and get the Note II

You can wait 4 EE's LTE Note 2 variant.

Keep the iPhone 5 and buy the Note II too. Selling the iPhone is never a good idea, sorry.
And about worthiness? Well to me none of these #latest# toys are worthy. Be it 700$ plastic Note or a metal iPhone. But yes, again, to me, aesthetics matters, it'll give you peace and desire for long run, but how long? This ain't your 90's BMW that you will be wanting to keep, as soon as a new one pops up you'll say just frak this. So, you gotta pay what you gotta pay

SIII?
I'm looking at signing my contract again with Sprint. I don't mind being stuck on a contract for 2 year.
I want a phone that will be decent for 2 more years. I have the HTC EVO “supersonic” running Jelly bean. But it can’t run the latest games and HD apps I like on my Nexus 7.
When the Note was announced I waited, but it never came to Sprint. When the Samsung Galaxy S3 came out I wasn’t impressed because it was gimped dual core for $199 and I wanted a bigger screen. The Note will probably be $299 on contract and now I can get an S3 from Amazon for $149. Is the Note 2 worth double the price? I don’t know if I need a big screen now that I have a Nexus 7.
Pros of the Note 2:
-Double the RAM
-Quad core
-Stylus (taking notes at business meetings)
…But is it worth the price tag? Will there be better xda support for this in 2 years versus the S3?

You should also give a huge shout out to the battery life, it's incredible. At least to me.
I upgraded from a Desire HD, I was not impressed with the iPhone 5 but the Note 2 gives me that WOW effect that I wanted to have when I upgrade my phone. I was kind of worried about paying as much as 555€ (No contract) and had my thoughts if it was worth it but after 2 days using this device , totally. I don't find the size to big either. I am wearing skinny jeans and don't feel it to be bulky. It's probably because of the thin profile. But I have to agree that having an iOS device is also a good thing. (iPad 2 here)

I haven't found many things that iOS can't do that android can do. ( including widgets ) There is apparently a difference in the way they multi task...but they both get it done. Android has NFC, but that's hardware not software. And even now, I think NFC is just a play thing currently. (one that I admit I look forward to tinkering with)
I think the biggest difference is how moding is set up. On iOS, anything fourth party is under cydia. Any mod that I want to do to my iPhone, I just open cydia, hit a button, and it's done. I don't have to crawl web pages looking for a certain tweak and then get it to my phone. On the other hand, Google lets a lot of customization through the play store. Which is great!
From what I've seen, besides hardware optimization (if that is done) with roms like CM, they're just Android with pre-installed tweaks. Where as on iOS it's like you have Vanilla android, and you pick and choose what custom tweaks you want. I personally prefer the way iOS modding is done. But I can't wait to explore what Android has to offer. Though I am concerned at the apparent news that the CM team has no plans to work on the phone. But I have to try and find out if that is really important to me or not.
By the way, OP, idk if you haven't jail broken iOS before, but I'm guessing not since you're on the iPhone 5 and haven't commented how (afaik) that jail break isn't out yet, even tethered. I suggest not selling it, and jail breaking it. Or buy a cheap 3gs, 4 or 4s and jailbreaking that and playing with all the tweaks you can do.
As a new commer to the android community, it seems there is an ignorance at what iOS can do to many of it's most vocal users. Both systems and devices have pros and cons, just decide what flavour you'd rather have now. Or have both! switch one phone out every other week or something hehe. With all the tweaking i've done on my iPhone, i've never once had a stability issue...so it could be your back up as well.
Hope I've helped inform you a bit, and sorry if i've made any mistakes about android.

you have to look at it like this. on android you reinstall the whole os when you flash a rom there are many roms some of them come with apps that do what you say cydia does, and they are probably cydia inspired so you can have that on android to as part of the os
can you cange anything in the system on ios? on android I can easily modify any file, system or not

don't say that CM is just android with tweaks preinstalled its not and saying so in a android forum will get you flamed I know most roms are just as you described but saying it about CM is quite insulting to the devs, just a frendly pointer
it is sad that cm won't be going n2 but its not a dealbreaker there will probably be akop and many custom tw roms to choose from and don't forget kernel development and probably miui too, who knows it might even get ubuntu

sadly both ios and android have users who bought a religion and not a phone.
I think you might find android more unstable than ios it often is before you learn what not to do so having a backup is a smart move and when you have your first bootloop don't panic just hit xda and find out what you did wrong (yeah it's going to happen and it's going to be your own fault)

best ever phone is NOT the same as best in every way possible and not all people have the same preference. sure its a good phone nobody's saying it isn't but on the other hand s3, onex+ and iphone 5 are very very good phones too and I have no doubt that for some people the note and note2 is simply to massive

I was a galaxy note 1 owner and yes it's hard to get back to a smaller screen but with time you'll get use to it again. The note 2 isn't the only great smart phone out there by the way. But it depends on the OP it's just a matter of choice. Note 2 is fantastic and now we've just received the update for multiwindow multitasking.

[Q] Leaving EVO 3D, Note 2 instead of iPhone 5?

I hope the mods and visitors here are nicer than the ones in the EVO 3D threads... I am ready for a huge change. I currently have an EVO 3D and was debating jumping ship to the iPhone 5 but I am so unimpressed with my iPad 2 then the GS3 caught my eye. Now I am being told for social media and things like that (the line of work I am in) that I should wait until the Note 2 comes to Sprint. I am really having a hard time deciding, any one have thoughts or even personal experience coming from EVO 3D or other HTC phones?

That's exactly my plan, yeah I'm sick of some of the posters over there too.

Yeah boredom worries me... I love the ease and uniformity of iOS but I don't know if it is worth sacrificing the customization and endless possibilities of Android.

The lack of customization definitely kills some of the iOS experience. I miss the instant updates in their infrastructure though.

ANYTHING is better than Iphone 5. Except for a bigger screen and a better camera, it's still the same ole story: why isn't any info available about the SoC? No quad-core is the answer. For a company who dubbed itself as frontrunner, it's a shame. Misleading customers, or should I say, Fanpeople, is what they do best:

I always equivocate iOS to hot dumb girl. Great to look at, fun for a little while but gets boring really fast.
If you like android do NOT go iOS. I drank the kool-aid and went from Android to iOS and regret my decision - not waiting for the Note 2 to be released in the US to switch back.

Long ago, I had a mytouch 4g, which I loved. I mainly just wished it was bigger.
I consider the note and the iphone to be near opposites.
If you require one hand usage, or find the note 2 too big to be portable (make a mockup if you aren't sure), and/or are married to the iOS ecosystem, then iphone 5 is the way to go.
But the Note is a far more interesting and productive device with the big screen, customizability, and unique software/hardware (s-pen, multi window). Android can be a little glitchy and weird, just like Microsoft windows, I'll admit.
I'd suggest making a list of pros/cons, based on what you like to do, and then you can pick a device that suits you best.
For what I like to do, and how I like my phone to look/work, the Note smokes the iphone.

More powerful processor, more ram, stock Android with updates straight from Google, better dev scene, nicer aesthetics

The N4 is definitely another option. The only reason I'm not leaning toward it right now is because of the camera. I like the camera functionality on the HOX and I'm not sure there are apps that could replace what HTC has done with Sense. Specifically the "best shot" mode.

I'm selling my One X and getting a Lumia. I'm just not having much luck with Android as of late.

The only advantage of the Nexus I see is stock android at the moment hardware won't have much of a drastic hit on performance for day to day stuff. Games etc who knows but using it for normal stuff the HOX still performs well.
Sense is another reason, it's good and personally I prefer it over stock android. N4 not having burst mode is a bit pants as HTC have implemented this pretty well on the HOX. You lose screen estate with the on screen buttons making the screen smaller than the HOX despite same size.
I'll still probably pick one up despite what I've said above.
Oh and the SGN2 is a great bit of kit of you can handle the size.

but a Lumia can't be better than a not working Android device

lol, i agree

What's wrong with the Lumia? Seems like a nice device - good camera, and a smooth OS.

Yeah, I'm thinking about it as well, a good camera with Carl Zeiss lens and WP8 OS is what rocking it.
Microsoft is deffinitly coming back with Windows 8, I'm running it on my desktop atm and it's so fast and beautifull.

I don't think I could use Windows Phone. Yeah the Nokia hardware looks fantastic, but the lack of customisation, the ****ty tiles and the below par ecosystem really put me off

Did you have a look in Windows Phone section recently....?
There's a very nice kitchen out there.
I love the live tyles and how light and fast the OS is.
It's so good designed that with a single tab or two you reach the function you need everywhere and you see every update in the tyles.

My dad just bought a note II gunmetal colour and I have to say, I'm quite jealous and wished I waited for it before getting my one x.....

Yeah the Note is very nice designed.

Note is a nice bit of kit and the grey version looks excellent. Borrowing my cousins device and it's great. First time I've taken this thing on the road and size is simply not that much of an issue and I've got small hands.
The speaker on this thing is probably one of the best on a mobile device a bit like the iPad speakers.
Quite tempted to get one for myself as the battery on it is on another level.
The only downside I see is an AMOLED screen some hate it some love it I don't mind it, it's better than the SGS3 screen and videos and games look lush on it.

[Q] Is it worth it to get note 2 now?

so I'm thinking about getting a note 2, I know there are better mobile out there but I just got a phone last month and don't want to spend too much. I want to know:
How is the gaming performance/graphics?
How is the screen clarity and colors?
I'm mainly getting this for watching movies and playing high def games, so please let me know if this device can hold up in 2014

Note 4 is coming out soon. Wait for the Note 3 to get a bit cheaper?

Yes it can hold up to the standards of 2014.
I've had the phone since it was first out, nothing I can fault it with.

How's The screen and gaming performance?

Screen is fine and vivid.
Gaming is fine, though with any device it will get hot after awhile. Specs are fine to handle everything you need. It is a note after all, the specs can handle whatever you throw at it.

Nice heating is a common thing when gaming so no issue.

The device isnt really that old, It will handle anything you throw at it. Just because there are newer/higher spec devices doesn't mean this is old and past it lol.

Got mine yesterday, yes they are pretty cheap now, at least here on the UK and happy with it, great camera, fast enough, but with a different Launcher, Samsung launcher makes the phone slow, but with Google launcher the phone is a lot better, no slow downs at all and multi window still works with Google Launcher =D Now the stylus... it is fun, but don't really see me using it that much. The screen is great, but the bezels are pretty big, the phone could be a lot thinner...
It's only been 2 days since I've owned the phone and this has been my experience so far, IMO if you can get something a bit faster, like a LG G2, LG G Pro, Samsung S4, HTC One M7 you will be better off with one of those, I've owned them all (I'm a mobile addicted) and from the ones I mentioned my favourite is still the HTC One M7 (but be careful with the camera issue, with the pink tint, google it if you want to know more) and pretty close is the LG G2, if you can get one of these, you will be a lot happier.
Just my honest opinion.
Regards and all the best.
