I'm thinking about picking one up at full retail price since I'm no where near qualifying for an upgrade. Do you guys think it's worth it? I wanted to be sure before I drop $570 (after taxes) for it.

I owned the Sprint Gs2 for 3 weeks. Great performance, no stuttering/lag ANYWHERE unlike on this phone. No lag on home screen even when there is an intensive live wallpaper going on.

Ditto.
There was a noticeable slowdown once there was a live-wallpaper in the background.
I know this because I've personally used the European version of the GS2 and I can definitely tell that despite the higher clockspeeds, there is a slowdown and the occasional stutter. This was not present on the EU GS2 despite having things like live wallpapers.
It could be the case that there is no proper HW Acceleration going on here.
So there's a little lag every now and then? Man, that's disappointing since I figured Samsung would got optimizations down by now. They used the same Qualcomm chip in their hometown Korean Galaxy S II LTE. I guess I better hold off for the Nexus Prime, I just hope it has UMTS 850/1700/1900 all in one like the Tmobile GSII.

The nexus prime is suppose to be using a ti omap processor which is worst than qualcomm and exynos.

I thought the rumors were the Nexus Prime having a 1.5ghz Exynos, with Verizon getting the TI OMAP version for LTE.

OMAP 4 is Cortex A9. TI usually has higher performing processors than qualcomm..
I think it's worth it. With Verizon most likely getting an exclusive on the Nexus for some time, the SGS2 is the best thing on T-Mobile right now. I'm coming from the Nexus S and love this phone. Once we have root and custom ROMs this thing will be even better. That being said, I'll probably dump it and buy the Nexus if/when it comes to Tmo

I paid full price to hold me over until Nexus Prime arrives, which I will get on 2 year contract discount. I figured that the Prime might cost more at full price than the Hercules when it comes to TMO. The Amaze is even higher than the Hercules now and that clinched it for me.
Also better to have Pure Google phone on contract so you get updates first. I am coming from the Vibrant which has not received a Gingerbread update yet.
It was worth it to upgrade from the Sensation 4G. Total was $279 after selling my old phone. $600 outright is hefty,
The two things that decided it for me was the dual cell HSPA. The Nexus Prime probably won't support this, just HSPA+ 21. Both have AT&T and T-Mobile 3G/4G support so, that also helped me upgrade from the Sensation 4G
I think.its worth every penny. I.just got mine 6 hours ago and I'm amazed (no pun intended) on how the screen looks. Its so bright and the blacks are really black. I love the phone its fast, smooth, downloaded apps in a blink of an eye literally. The only thing is I wish it had a higher resolution. But its nit a deal breaker everything. Is great. Its also super light and thin!
I was very hesitant in getting this cause I only qualified for an early upgrade which took off only about 100 bucks. Why pay over 400 to extend my contract. It was tough on the wallet.
Had it for a full day and I'm glad I did. Came from a MT4G and all I can say is wow. Don't know what all the complaining is about. Guess it all depends on what phone you're coming from.
It does all that I need it to do and more. Mainly use it for work, lots of nav and as a media player. Worth every penny.

Just got mine a couple hours ago off craigslist. 300+ some crappy ps3 games lol.
No box or charger tho. The phone had never been turned on as the battery was still sealed. Pretty good deal imo as im not due for an upgrade til 2013 (thanks sensation) and the early upgrade they gave me would have cost $470 or so. I already registered it with samsung and everything is cherry.
I top out over 10mps here whereas the Sensation only got around 2-3 lol.
100% better phone, forget the qHD.
Worth It
I just paid full price for my device. I don't really mind because I will still have an upgrade in less than a year. Is anyone else getting sick of all the nexus prime chatter? You know people will complain about it once its released. No phone is ever good enough these days. Don't get me wrong, Im sure it will be a nice phone. Im looking forward to getting the SGS2 rooted and CM7 slapped on it. This phone will be solid for some time......
Same here. I paid full price for mines and im not disapointed. Love ever bit of it.
Bought mine at full price. First time I have ever done so. I was going to wait for the Nexus Prime/galaxy or whatever but I got tired of my girlfriend *****ing about how much she hates her Blackberry and that she wanted Android back so I bought the SGS2 and gave her my Mytouch4g with Virtuous Unity and she loves it. Secondary reason were I can actually say I like Touchwiz 4. Im sure there will be root and the next versio of Cyanogenmod at some point so I am happy with my purchase.
I paid full price and i'm not regretting it, seeing how I checked the screen for 15 minutes in a dark backroom before exchanging my Amaze for it.
Beautiful screen runs better than the amaze, just hope my battery life is going to be as good.

Want a bigger screen and better battery life? If not, keep the S3.
I'm not sure what type of answer you want without knowing your preference.

Id wait for the note3 if u can
Had the S3 before the note 2. And the Note 2 is a lot faster then S3. But with the S4 coming in a month maybe you should hold off.
I love my note 2, I won't replace it until the note 3 comes out

Sent from my GT-N7105 using XDA Premium HD app
I was in the same predicament. I have the original Galay S 4g and was wanting to upgrade as the phone was experiencing some problems. I debated whether to wait another 7-9 months for the Note 3, but ultimately decided I could keep this phone for at least 2-3 years before needing to upgrade (especially with all the ROM support that kept my old phone alive and will most certainly keep the N2 alive for years).
I believe the N3 will have a faster processor, better battery and slightly better battery but won't be 'revolutionary' (much like the Galaxy S4). IMO, it'll take at least another generation before the phone will be significantly upgraded to make waiting worth it.
The N4 will most likely have a smaller footprint, near indestructible glass and perhaps a flex screen/wraparound. To me, that'd be worth it. Until then, I'm waiting on my Note 2 to arrive and will enjoy it for the next couple of years. Plus, the fact you can pick one up for $550-$650 new doesn't hurt either compared to the suspected $899 price the N3 will come out for.

Ive been watching prices on Ebay and Craigslist and have seen prices falling to at least these levels if not lower for some models (like the Sprint version) in the past couple of weeks.
Not uncommon to find one below 550 even if you are patient.
The main difference is size. If you like 1 handed use you will hate the note 2. Unless of course you have med to large hands then it my not be an issue.
Things I noticed. I don't use the stylus or multiview anymore.
When I go to the gym I take my s3 as its easier to use hen I'm listening to music.

I don't use the stylus either and often times I think the phone is slightly too big. I like the size of my wife's S3 better. I got the Note2 (back in November 2012) to be future-proof. With LTE around the corner I'm glad I got the Note2. If I was in the market for a new phone now, I would wait for the S4.
Personally I think the north american S3 is more like a S2.5 with the dual core processor and no LTE. The S3 should've had the Note2's quad core processor and LTE modem (Note2 is the pseudo S3). Thus the S4 is more like a S3.5 since we'll probably get the quad core instead of the octo.
As an owner of both devices, I would stay with the the S3. It's a great phone, well built, awesome specs, and a good development for it. It fits more natural in the hand then the note 2.

Good point about LTE. I think once the s4 comes out I'm going to sell both my s3 and note 2 and buy the s4.

You do realize when the s3 released it was spanking phones with quad cores like nvidia 3 Samsung quad core.

I have both
I have both right now I am using the s3 because I dropped my note 2 and cracked the screen. But trust me you want the note2. It is definitly superior to the s3. The battery life is fantastic compared to the s3. With my s3 I had to be rooted and pull out every trick in the book just to be able to deal with it. The note2 has the best battery life ever and thats right out of the box. It is way faster and they already activated the LTE modem in it with the latest update. The s3 will not get the lte modem activated for at least another few months. To me there is no comparison its note2 all the way. I even think the note2 will be better than the s4 or at least comparable. I think the int s4 is getinng a crazy processor I think I misunderstood but it looked like it will have 4 cores running at 1.9 and another 4 running at 1.6 like ours for a total of 8 but I am not too sure of that exactly. I do know that the us version will have the same processore we have now and they are listing the same reason as last time that the new processor isnt compatable with LTE. So I think that if they have a note3 in the works it will get the int s4 processor and that will be the new phone for us note 2 users to get next. Sorry for the long winded answer.

that's because the North American dual core S3 has 2gb of ram while the international quad core S3 and int'l HTC One X (the other quad core phone that came out at the same time) have 1gb. I don't think the north american S3 spanked quad cores, rather it kept up. plus that was 8-9 months ago. My point is that the S3 isn't very future-proof.
Did the north american S3 get multiview from carriers? I know the international version got it and you can hack-add it to the north american S3.
this is a good video comparing the dual core vs quad core S3, but it was made in Summer 2012. I'm curious what the comparison would be like now with newer apps like the Samsung Premium Suite (mutliview, etc).
I worry the S4 will suffer a similar fate. By Christmas 2013 (if not by halloween) we'll see octo-core LTE phones, making the S4's king-of-the-hill status very short lived. imagine the apps that'll come out in 2014 that'll run better on a octo than a quad.
i would get the note 2. i actually just got mine. i was looking to trade my nexus 4 and cash for the note but i find alot of people were trying to screw me over so i just went to tmobile the other day and got it myself. anyways i love stock android and i said i would never had another samsung phone after i had the original galaxy s on sprint but so far i'm liking it. the battery life seems good so far but i'm wait after a week to comment because the battery needs to condition first. i love the multi screen view. i used it to get directions from maps and send them in a text. very handy to me. i wont use it everyday but its there when i need it. plus i wanted to get a sdcard capable phone. also i wanted to future proof myself since lte comes to my area. i get great tmobile service where i live. the S4 and note 3 will have 1080p screens and such and faster processors (only really matters if you do intense things on the phone. i have finally learned that) so taking this into account. i decided on not waiting and i got the note 2. we will never had the latest tech because its new one day and old the next in the tech world.

When you get a new device you're always excited over it. I felt the same about my note 2 a few months ago and praised it. For me multi screen I thought was awesome til I realized it is cumbersome as it didnt launch an app in split view right away. I had to run one app first through multi view then run the other app so it can split. And multiview apps are limited in stock form. Spen was great too as I like to photoshop a lot and that I can write notes and even converts my writing to actual text. Now I don't really use it anymore as I type faster with swiftkey than writing and i dont photoshop as much. Most of the time I forget I have a stylus lol. All the hover stuff I like but thats gonna be in the s4 too which is only a month away so as far as waiting, it isn't too long from now. If we're talking several months then that's a different story IMO. I think the OP should wait it out....

New to this forum, coming over from the Vibrant. Hello everyone!
I just got my note 2 from tmobile. Best upgrade price they could give me was $369, but by adding the phones to my plan rather than upgrading, I was able to get them for 199 each (after rebate.). Then I cancelled my old lines. New numbers, but who cares. That's what I paid for my vibes years ago, and they're running great still (on pacman 4.2.2).
I love this phone. About the only thing I don't like is the bloat, but it doesn't seem to affect it. Maybe I'll root it just to get rid of that, but honestly I don't think it needs it. Battery is awesome as it is.

Heya everyone, been browsing the forums some and tried to figure these things out, but wasn't really sure, so figured I'd ask here.
So for a couple months now I've been on the lookout for a new tablet for when I can afford one. my most recent upgrade was from a Toshiba thrive to a Asus tf700T...........bit of a big mistake cause I didn't realize it only had a gig of ram XP
came across the listing for the Galaxy tab S and from what I can tell, the wifi version would be perfect. enough ram to do decently, doesn't have to be too powerful for games, LOVE the screen (have an AMOLED on my phone and it's great). but my concern arises with being sure about what version is which. How do you tell the difference between the different model numbers? I'm looking into the 32 gig version (which i know is best buy only in the us but...necessary evil), but some threads say only the T800 version can be rooted and flashed? I have no interest in Knox, and the first thing I'm going to do with it is root, and flash a (non-CM) rom to it........had some bad experiences with puzzles and dragons before on one of their roms XP........but anyway.
So yeah. What's the difference in the model numbers, would the 32 gig wifi version fit the criteria for being easily rooted and flash-capable, and I won't bother asking about a good rom, that stuff I can look up myself ^^

Well.. T700= 8.4 inch Tab S WiFi model
T705= 8.4 inch Tab S with the 3g capabilities (aka LTE model)
T800= 10.5 inch Tab S WiFi only model
T805= 10.5 inch Tab S with 3g (aka LTE)
So basically, Models ending with a 5 is an 3g model meanwhile the rest is WiFi only.
And.. Good luck finding 32gb models! They have the same model numbers and ROMs work fine on them regardless of the ROM is 16 or 32gb. 32gb are really hard to find as I haven't seen much people have them! When buying, be extra sure it saids 32gb of storage since the model numbers are the same for the variants. Anyway for ROMs and such, I prefer liquid smooth (seems a perfect combo for me).
To sum it all up, T800 Tab S with 32gb may take some time finding as I don't see many with it. Also, No matter how much storage, they share the same model number for the variant. Also, flashing rooting etc etc works fine on 32gb models from what I heard. I would suggest backing up your .pit in case of anything. And don't let the 3gb of ram thing fool you! Touchwiz is pretty terrible on the Tab S. I am running liquid smooth and its running amazing on my T800 16gb. Well, if you have anymore questions, let me know!

As long as it's not something that's like, hardcoded (which.....i'll admit i've never heard of...), as long as I can throw a cleaner rom on there, that's all I need ^^
and yeah, I did some initial research about availability and the difficulty of getting 32gig versions is a bit frustrating, but hopefully that'll turn out to be the easier part. anyway, thank again for all the info! ^^

Is the lollipop update ota or do I have to flash??
What a name for a thread
I was just getting ready to make a thread asking if this tablet was worth buying now but saw this thread and wasnt sure what it was about and i see my question is answered. with the lollipop update did the lag that is shown in videos get better?
my main use for it will be drawing so im not to worried about ui lag really just thought i would ask. also anyone seen/used this case before, was thinking about getting one.
If you're gonna ask if tablet is worth buying, the answer is: YES it is. I have the SM-P601 3G and I'm really happy with it. Out there, the new and available samsung tablet are pretty much the same as this one, except that ours include S-Pen.
The best part is Lollipop is coming to this tablet.
And it doesn't matter which official firmware you update to, the lag will always exist as long as it is Samsung's. If you don't want those laggy UI, flash custom ROM which I recommend this one (3G variant) http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../sm-p601-cyanogenmod-12-0-unofficial-t3052009
I am very satisfied with this tablet, and I'm not regret choosing this over Tab S 10.5 (or even the new tab s2). Right now, in my country, this note 10.1 (3g) is still more expensive than tab s 10.5 (without warranty) because of its popularity, no matter what marketing they made for tab s.
At that price.. Definately....
Hey guys, a friend is offering to sell me his Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 for around 200$.
With a glass screen protector and few cases. He is saying the tablet was barely used and in a "new" condition.
I am looking for a light tablet for YouTube, some Web Browsing and maybe to show my Source Codes in interviews.
But I really like AOSP - it is really important for me to be able to install an AOSP rom. I see that there is a CM13 for this tablet, which is good.
My question is, this tablet is 2 years old already, is it worth buying in this price? Is there something better I can get new for around that price?

Well that about what they go for 'round theses here parts ~200.00€. (i.e. The T325 LTE)
So is it worth it? The Tab S is a few bucks (Checking Fleebay.de between 10~50€), more. And has seen better support from Samsung then our Tab Pro 10's & 8's
Which unlike the Tab Pro actually got Updates to Android 6 Marshmallow. It also features a Fingerprint Scanner that the Pro doesn't have.
Also the Tab Pro comes in 16/32GB Flavors, where as the Tab S comes with 32GB base, and 64GB variants.
So on that front I'd say the Tab S LTE (SM-T715) wins.
That said, The Tab Pro 8.4 LTE, (SM-T325) with its 2GB's of RAM IMHO is more than a capable Device. It can still handle most Games just fine.
And most (if any), of its problems can be traced back to the lack of Dev support of that variant. (i.e. T325 LTE), the T320 OTOH has a broader support base, and is officially supported by CyanogenMOD.
But, I wouldn't let that stop you, as the Dev supporting us has been terrific when it come to nightly builds.
But, I would interject One last thing here though, since you failed to mention it.
Is this Device in question the T320 (WI-FI), or the T325 (LTE) version)?
If its the LTE version then $200.00 for it, is ~ok~. If he's trying to flog off a T320 (Wi-Fi), however, then IMHO hes gipping you.
I wouldn't offer much more then a flat $100.00 for it, my self..
P.s. Odd that I should now check fleebay, and see that some others are actually asking for ~200.00€'s for their T320's...
Damed if I'd know what was so great about that variant, that I would dispose that much cash for one, when I could get the LTE version for the same or less.

If its the LTE version then $200.00 for it, is ~ok~. If he's trying to flog off a T320 (Wi-Fi), however, then IMHO hes gipping you.
I wouldn't offer much more then a flat $100.00 for it, my self..
P.s. Odd that I should now check fleebay, and see that some others are actually asking for ~200.00€'s for their T320's...
Damed if I'd know what was so great about that variant, that I would dispose that much cash for one, when I could get the LTE version for the same or less.

It is the T320, meaning no LTE. 16GB of storage.

Like I said I would pass... For that money there are better options.
Or try to see how far down hes willing to go.
Like I said no 3G / LTE Modems... I wouldn't really pay anything much more then a flat $100.00 for it.
Perhaps a $125.00 tops if he was a really god friend, and needed the money.
But, $200.00 is way too much for that Device. EOS

Well that about what they go for 'round theses here parts ~200.00€. (i.e. The T325 LTE)
So is it worth it? The Tab S is a few bucks (Checking Fleebay.de between 10~50€), more. And has seen better support from Samsung then our Tab Pro 10's & 8's
Which unlike the Tab Pro actually got Updates to Android 6 Marshmallow. It also features a Fingerprint Scanner that the Pro doesn't have.
Also the Tab Pro comes in 16/32GB Flavors, where as the Tab S comes with 32GB base, and 64GB variants.
So on that front I'd say the Tab S LTE (SM-T715) wins.
That said, The Tab Pro 8.4 LTE, (SM-T325) with its 2GB's of RAM IMHO is more than a capable Device. It can still handle most Games just fine.
And most (if any), of its problems can be traced back to the lack of Dev support of that variant. (i.e. T325 LTE), the T320 OTOH has a broader support base, and is officially supported by CyanogenMOD.
But, I wouldn't let that stop you, as the Dev supporting us has been terrific when it come to nightly builds.

OK Thanks.
Any other good 8-10" devices around that price?

Like I said for that, theres either the LTE version of the T32x, or you could just look for a T710 (Tab S), Which I've detailed somewhat in my first post.
For $200 you might as well grab a Shield Tablet K1. The TabPRO should be under $150 to be worth looking at now.
