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.

Just bought this a week ago. It is so disappointing what Subaru calls an infomainet system.. Android and iPhone folks are having a tough time using..
Anyone have a replacement rom yet?
Usual wait a couple weeks before replacing, but this stock is just that bad.

Trust me, there are worse "solutions" out there

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.

Fitness Devices - What Works Well With The HTC 10?

Does anybody have any recommendations on fitness wearables to pair with the HTC 10?
So far, all I have found is the Under Armor Band, and the HealthBox... and a couple of Garmin devices.
On Sprint, rooted stock Nougat, if that matters.
TIA for input.

That looks like a nice device/watch. Long way from the Galaxy Gear I had with my Note 2!
Thanks for the post. Appreciate the info. Not sure what I want yet on features and that has a lot on it for sure.

I have a Fitbit and it works fine. No issues at all.

Well... I decided on a Garmin Vivosmart HR. Went basic. Haven't really worn a watch in years and I thought I'd like to stay more on the small and basic side. ASUS does seem to have some good devices they put out from different reviews I've read. My company is basically paying for it through lower insurance rates, more HSA money, and gift cards so starting out with something like this would be OK, then get another one more advanced like the ASUS if I really liked this and wanted something more.
