Galaxy S II is thicker than the Iphone 4 - Galaxy S II General

iPhone 4 World's Thinnest Phone, Not Samsung Galaxy S II, well according to this arcticle.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/240075/iphone_4_worlds_thinnest_phone_not_samsung_galaxy_s_ii.html

If you read the article, it's due to the bulge at the bottom, at its slimmest and on average the sgs2 is slimmer

That still makes the SGS thinner. In a pocket, the SGS is harder to feel, and it has a better grip because of the bulge.

The people that wrote that are iCrap fans.

As far as I know in the past average thickness was always the standard otherwise every phone produced in the past according to apple was false advertising.

and why is this relevant to us?

Inside the bulge looks like empty space to me

The bulge is for the speaker and some of the antennae, as far as i know.

I used to think that Iphone users where thicker than SGS users .
That is no longer true .

My guess is next month there will be no debate on who's really the thinness.

Remember that no captivate buttons = more screen space in the same size phone
Therefor... 4 in may be about the size of, say, an iPhone 4. I'm up for bumping the size up to somewhere between the Vibrant and the Evo and getting 4.5"-4.65" of screen (especially since I hear it'll be a Samsung phone!).

Just because the screen is bigger doesn't mean the device will be much bigger. Ics will have no softkey buttons, so the form factor will stay the same, generally speaking

I go with the suggestion in the article that it's a bad Photoshop job. Besides the screen being unrealistically larger, look how close the top sensor is to the display which would be physically impossible to manufacture. If it were real I'd take the Korean mock-up in blue without question.
That looks like some bad photoshop work.
Haha that's for sure Photoshop. Notice exact same battery levels and also blurry graphics.

Real or not, I definitely like the SGSII-style brick design better.

Completely FAKE.
If you look at the Korean version, the left side of the dandelion is fragmented because all they did was copy a sliver of the image and move it over to fill the extra space. Rookie photoshop job.
It would be funny if that is the Galaxy Note II

1 thing that Apple win Apple user heart

The iPhone 4s even though it has the same design with iPhone 4. However, the quality of material is much better than galaxy $3. The iPhone 5 even it is a incremental upgrade over iPhone 4s, but it is using a different material that is aluminum. I found myself not amaze with the $3 anymore. Any suggestion can make this phone look better? Any case or cover looks nice on $3? I found myself more and more towards on iPhone 5..

Oh come on. If he had worded it differently, like "can you guys recommend ways to beautify the S3, like with certain covers or protectors?", then you people would probably have suggested hundreds of casings and covers by now. But just because he mentioned the iPhone, you decided to flame instead.
Don't get me wrong, apple sucks, but that's hardly the point.
On this topic, I can't recommend any ways to make the S3 look better, because I think my pebble blue one looks great.

The note series is one of Samsung's flagship lines.
The 'mega' phones, on the other hand, seem to be a low/mid-range phone for people who don't need much in a phone, but want a large screen.
It's a pretty good idea, not sure how it'll sell though.
- Frank
The main difference between the Note series and any of the others (S, Mega) is that the Note series comes with a stylus.
Hence 'Note'. For note taking.
So no. I doubt the Mega series will "replace" the Note series per se.
But it might help cater more for those who want a large phone and never use their stylus.
Well, I can count up to three people I know who bought their notes just for their big screen, and almost never use the stylus.
So it might not be a "replacement", in the full meaning of the word, but more like a better option for all of the people who just don't need an stylus in their phones, specially if it comes with the not-wacom-screen discount...
I seriously doubt it, For me this mega series is just too big. I consider anything above 5.6 inches to be a tablet.
The good news is that we now know the note 3 wont be 6.3 ins.
Looking at his expected specs, especially the display, Samsung doesn't want it to be a high-end phone like the note series. It will, again it's just a rumour, have a LCD display with the same resolution as ours, but with a way lower dpi value. That's exactly the point why I'm not really interested in this device.

thank God, i never wanted note 3 to be more than 6 in. now i can hope for a 5.7-5.9 in note 3 wow. it would be an ideal device if its 5.7 in.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Aimed at different markets - I can see this more for the "developing" markets where the majority can't afford a phone and a tablet but want both.
its not just specific to the developing countries. Even elsewhere people dont like multiple devices with scattered data. unified devices are appreciated by all these days

note forever........most people cant diatinguish between the phones coz of the 99% similarity. But the stylus of the note puts a clas to it. for professionals note is the way to go.
For a resident doc its the best device i have ever had i my life. so note 3 for me. its been more than a year and my device never gave me any impression that my tech is obsolete. Good updates and full functional.
So samsung i appreciate you for this.

There are over 70 samsung galaxy devices. By the way the Note has an S Pen
Galaxy Mega = Note 2 - S pen

I would say more:
Galaxy Mega = Note 2 - S pen - Superamoled screen
And Mega line will probably stick to plastic while Note3 and S5 will change body material to single aluminium body frame.
It will be another option, that's all.
I think many people would buy a slightly improved Mega 5.8 over a Note. Put the 6.3 specs into the 5.8's body and change the screen for AMOLED and I think it would appeal to many.
if note 3 is over 6 inches then bye bye samsung. 5.8 should be the size of the note 3 and what samsung did, wasted the ideal smartphone size on a useless junk. i dont think samsung sales this year will be sky high.
i think their downhill is started because they are packing the market with junk like galaxy grand, s3 mini, note 8.0 and now this galaxy mega.
there is no development on these devices and that they are not the flagships yet they will compete with samsungs own flagships rather than competing with the rivals.
so samsung ur time to shine is gone. seems like u have burnt all he fuel and is now becoming the dying star
just a thought

Its a good concept but coming from a note 2?
No way! The camera is pretty awesome but other that the specs of the phone are too low compared to what we have now.
The only way I would get it is if I had extra cash to spend and needed a phone stuck to a high end point and shoot!
But then again my note 2 takes some super awesome kickass pictures!!

I'd rather just save a few dollars and get a mid range digital camera which will probably out perform the zoom.
