How would the note 2 be for a 16 year old kid?

I am on sprint and thinking about getting a new phone (with my own money of course- not my parents). I am trying to figure out if the galaxy note 2 would be too big for my hands. Right now I am using the old epic 4g (keyboard) so anything would be an upgrade from that Question pretty much comes down to note 2- or if its too big wait for a nexus device hopefully with sdcard slot.

Sorry I am a backdated person and I believe that there must be a time for achieving everything.

what?

Depends on your size.
And I don't believe in a Nexus device with a SD card slot. As alternative get a S3?

Was thinking about that, but the adreno 225 is really putting me off

Why that?

It gets beaten by the mali 400 (and 604t when it comes out) and by the adreno 320.

i think it will be fine depends on your size but a 16 year old is generally big enough to handle it
plus it has 16:9 ratio, so it is quite easy to handle despite its size! i say go for it

the boy is already using a mobile do you think a galaxy note II will be too mature? didmt know there was PG rating with mobiles

I'm 16 and just purchased my note. Can't wait till it arrives.
Correct me if I'm wrong but at 16 your hands are almost fully grown?
And 16 year old can be mature. Sort of.

Any 16 year old who doesn't go for an iPhone by default is awesome. You will love the Note II for sure, go for it.
Also, a Nexus device with memory card slot? I'm not so sure that's going to happen, I wouldn't hold my breath for that one!

Purchase it if you can. I agree, it is brilliant to see a 16 year old with his own mind! You will not get a better device this year...Despite what your conveyor belt isheep buddies will tell you!

Wow didn't know the S4 is using old tech!

thanks
thanks for all the answers. Its making my decision alot easier. BTW I know that a nexus with an sd card slot is unlikely, but I can always hope.

it's never too late to become a techno geek, and it's not a matter of dimensions - when i was a kid i was riding my father's bicycle with my legs within the frame. So instead of measuring the distance between ear and mouth (another important ergonomic parameter for the Note 2 ) you should ask yourself what would you do with it: for gaming it's simply superb (i am 46! ), for android hacking anything is good, if you just make calls there are 100s of better telephones, for messaging why not a phone with keyboard, for home usage why not a tablet. and don't forget about pricing, too, unless it's a present
But don't wait: by experience, any moment is equivalent, and new better models will always arrive. In the worst case, sell it back on ebay and get the new one. No choice is forever....even at your age!

I almost never call, i game/watch videos a ton, I rooted my epic and installed cyanogen jellybean on it (probably won't do cyanogen on galaxy note 2 though cause of spen). I text, but usually on screen not on the keyboard of my epic/

You are in the US-just go to Best Buy/ATT and try one--

Yeah I would see about getting the phone in your hand before you buy it..or make a mock up of it out of card board
But then again you can always take it back in a certain time frame if you don't like it

Nexus 10 : In Action

Most of you might have already seen this video somewhere.
I saw it recently and was impressed.
What do you think about the Nexus 10 ?

Wow, best tablet evAR!! Just from those 5 seconds I can tell it has world dominanca cumming from it's ****.
Ok, seriously...

Phone UI on a tablet not so rad.

Maybe Paranoid Android will be able to do something about that interface.

What a stupid video...
You can hardly say it's "in action"
that's like showing a video of someone starting a car and saying it's "in action"

The border around the screen makes it look weird..

I'm worried they're getting rid of the tablet UI we like so much.

I love the phone ui on a tablet, but hopefully they do keep the tablet ui for those who do like it. That's what makes Android great, it's customizable for almost anybody.

Maybe it's just beta software and DPI related. No Android tablet has had that dense a display before (pretty sure its around the 300 mark). If you mess with the DPI on existing android tabs the UI switches to Nexus 7 style (tested on my XOOM).

Well, it's all open-source. A dev who understands it well enough could probably program the old tablet UI back in.

Would you buy the OP3 again ?

Just sold my edge plus and ordered this.
If you could pick again would you pick the OP3 or a different phone?
Thanks for any feedback as I will cancel the order if it's poor.

I actually did buy it again! But this it was for my brother. The phone is awesome, there's not much to dislike it's fast in every aspect software, fingerprint, charging, and so on. It's been a while since I've been this impressed by a phone. The build & feel quality is amazing.

I sold my S7 Duos for this and have no regrets whatsoever. I can't wait until the dash charging sources are released to hop on some of the ROMS here.

Instantly sir. Love the OP3. Sexy AF phone. Best phone purchase I've ever made. Killer battery.

I am trying to find ways to purchase either the red or gold version. I need to sell OnePlus one or moto x pure first.

Absolutely.

I would probably buy it again. However, I've used the OP3 for a while now but for me its hard to operate the phone with one hand like i used to do with the P7. Also its hard for me to get used to the OS. Although many people hate the EMUI/MIUI interface, i love it. So i really hope MIUI will be available soon. But when looking at the specs and the price i think this is the best deal at the moment. Also i am really happy with the build quality.

Thanks guys will definitely keep my order
Thanks again

Best under £100 device

My HTC has died and due to funds I am limited to something under £100 for now. I'd like a screen 4.7 or above, decent resolution and pretty all much the usual goodies for a daily phone use, ie 4g, bluetooth, tethering etc. Of course I am not expecting HTC 10 quality!!! But most budget phones are usually 1gb ram which can make operation a bit sticky.
I've looked at the Chinese phones (Doogee, Cubot etc) which seem to offer a lot for the money, some makes me think it is likely good marketing! I am also worried about the roms installed on them, whether they contain other unwelcome apps, does google play work like a normal Android.
Please move this thread if in the wrong forum.
Thank you.

Take a look at the Doogee Y6. I bought it for my daughter. Nice phone and working out of the box.

Micro stutter while browsing

Just picked this tablet up today and set it all up.
It seems to be suffering with really annoying micro stutter while scrolling up and down in the web browser.
It’s not smooth at all compared to my 2 year old iPad Pro.
It looks like it’s struggling with the graphics or something.
I have noticed it does the same in other areas as well.
Any ideas at all, before it goes back.

I haven't noticed this or any isdues and I've been using an iPad pro 10.5 for 10 months. I am looking forward to root for this device though because I think it could still run better with some tweaking

Ok thanks, mine stutters bad, in Samsung browser, in google browser, in play store.
Tried turning it off and on again, but no change.

Try factory resetting. Play store is always a bit stuttery even on the pixel 2

Ok thanks I’ll try that.

Tried a factory reset, did not install any apps just loaded up the Samsung browser and it was still stuttering bad so I returned it in the end.
I could not solve the issue.

I guess this is the same as the croocked scrolling.
I noticed this too, every now and then.
Not sure yet if I should keep it...

I'm wondering too but I don't want another iPad cause of the awful customer service. The only other android option is the Huawei medipad m5 10.8". It's suppose to be a good tablet for the price but not as good as the Samsung. So kinda stuck lol

Suxx. I honestly thinking about the 2017 Amazon 10" it's cheap, plastic and so on.. , but not sure if the ~600€ extra for an Galaxy Tab does justify it. If you know what I mean.

Its definitely the more premium device . I'm fortunate I got 100 quid off and the keyboard case free which I'm going to sell. If it wasn't for that I would be doubting even more the price. I think at 599 it should have the SD 845 and atleast 6gb of ram...I think it would feel more for the price. Don't get me wrong it's still powerful and I'm finding it quick and smooth and we can get more out of it once twrp etc comes to it.
With the SD835, they should have stuck in 6gb or ram , 128gb of storage and priced it max at 499

I don't care that much about CPU and RAM I guess the current specs are decent.
What fu*ks me up is that poor scrolling experience. I noticed it 5 minutes after unpacking.
I will check if the Amazon device can be flashed with LineageOS. I'm also checking Apple, which I usually avoid

To be fair i dont think the wavey scrolling is Samsung's fault. I've seen it on multiple android device in landscape or portrait on amoled and ips/lcd screens. Guess the bigger the screen the more noticeable it is.
The landscape/protrait inconsistencies annoy me too. Even with Samsung's own settings and apps

Funny fact, my Amazon 7" 60€ Device got this too, with custom ROM and without.
I always thought it's the poor CPU.
What a shame

I found the newest iPad 9.7 2018 edition has slight wavey scrolling when you look for it. Maybe we're looking for it too much lol

I know what you mean. I think any new expensive device you notice more. I'm not finding it to bad when I do occasionally use it in portrait
