Is this the Galaxy S III?
it looks cool ;-P
I like how it has 2 different cameras depending on which pic you're looking at.
Just can't wait to see Galaxy S VIII
I'm all for new stuff but am i the only one who'd like to see a 4'' screen version packed with all the latest features? We seem to be getting several solutions for huge screens but nothing for people who felt 4'' was just perfect. Granted, they're thin and not so cumbersome as inicially expected but there's a limit to how much you can compensate a big screen with lack of thickness
If a 4'' updated sgs (2/4 core with 2gb ram and voodoo like sound and actual working gps) came out I'd get it over any other phone with bigger screen. Am i alone?

Of course not, just poor Photoshop.
To be honest, that doesn't look legit. Especially since it's on a Chinese site when Samsung is a South Korean company.
the site who originally shared this pic. Clearly stated that this is made by a fan in there community and is not a leak . This is indeed made by Photoshop cs5 or any other such software.
its Galaxy Note photoshoped

you are not alone. thumbs up for 4" screen
I think the reason for gaining larger and larger screens is the manufacturer's obsession on pushing higher screen resolution but unable to make the pixels denser

I definitely prefer the Galaxy Nexus' 4.6 inch screen over the Galaxy S' 4.0 inch screen.

that's a fake it's a fan art
the guy that created the clock and desktop launcher photoshop came to light a few weeks back
nothing official yet
just a leaked poster with galaxy series
I don't think it's a leak, more like a concept. There must be a border around the screen else you will trigger the touchscreen every time you hold it
i don't think.. but if it's s3 is very beautifull!
Samsung Galaxy should be called i9200 shouldn't it? Wait....the galaxy Nexus was something like [email protected]@ confusing

Hi
i would like to know some of your opinions if you have both the Galaxy Note and also a Nexus 7
i have had my note for almost a year now - generally all pretty good
but for some things i am thinking about the nexus 7
maybe for a bigger ebook reader - kindle / BBC news / Flipboard etc- i have a lot of books which would benefit perhaps on a bigger screen
Tegra 3 - one of the reasons why i would like the nexus 7 - some games can only be played on a tegra 3 device - i am not a really big game player but sometimes would like to play Horn, Dark meadow and the other tegra 3 only games which cannot be played on the Note
general web browsing / ocassional movie watching when out and about would be nice on a bigger screen
i live in europe so google voice is not available at this time - so i wont really use it for any phone calls - maybe skype but ocassionally
i am trying to establish how much of a use it will get in order to see if its worth to purchase it..
please share your useages and experiences with owning both
Actually I have both items, G Note and Nexus 7
I bought the Nexus 7 two months ago, and the Gx Note last week.
Since I bought the Note, I've never used again the Nexus 7 (I'm selling it)
I've downloaded some Tegra Only games and only tried them for a while and never played again.
The Nexus has a bit bigger screen than Note, it is more fast and the touch responsiveness is better, but I prefer to have a decent "All In One" device like the Note (with a good replaceable battery and micro SD slot whith tons of films in it) than having to carry with another device only for a "little more of screen"
I have both too. But I find the Note to be slightly better for everyday use. It's decent sized and runs games (that I play) perfectly fine. Screen is a bit small (as opposed to the 7) for web browsing, but that's something I can live with. On the other hand, the nexus 7 screen is right in the middle of the Note and a 10" tablet. For certain apps, if I run the phone version on the 7, the UI's too big (big buttons, big text); but if I run the tablet version of the app, texts are often too small to read on the 7 inch and some buttons are harder to press as they've been resized to fit the 7" screen. Sorry for my english but I think you get my point.
Now that we have jelly bean running on our exynos powered phones, the whole performance argument doesn't fly. Pretty sure the note outperforms anything with a tegra 3, despite having half as many cores. Exynos ftw!
Apple innovates and Samsung copies, huh? Tell that to my Galaxy Note.
I have the note and 2 nexus 7 had 2 more but sold them, the nexus is much faster (all are running paranoid android 2.5 ROMs if I were going to read , check emails , look up something on the internet it would be no question the nexus 7, if I wanted something small / more portable to check something quick then the note is better plus if need some to make phone calls without being linked to another device ie. Tablet talk then obviously the note is your choice, even though I don't use the note as a phone anymore I would never sell it

Hi There,
I have a Nexus 7 and a GN. The Nexus is lightning fast, and a real pleasure for games or as a e-reader. I use both devices every day, and I love both.
I use my Nexus for navigation in my car (with car mount). The GN sits in my console, connected to BT for calls.
The one thing I do find is that the Nexus connects to GPS faster, and the nav app (Waze) seems snappier.
Whilst I do love the Nexus 7, as it is an amazingly capable tablet for a very respectable price, there is very little point in any 7" tablet in my opinion so long as you own any of the newer Android devices that often employ a 4.5+ inch display and especially if you own a phone/tablet hybrid such as the Galaxy Note. In my personal opinion, a tablet should be around the 10" mark like the iPad. It is just a nice size for greater productivity, whilst still maintaining greater portability than a laptop.

Same here - have both and am pleased with both. Use the Nexus 7 more for movies and books.
thank you all for this feedback and opinions
a lot of good points have been made here regarding speed of the nexus, size and usages what you have
from what i have evaluated certain tasks are better suited on the nexus and other tasks are more geared towards the note..due to its size etc
lots of things to think about here....
I have Note and tried nexus. Just doesn't feel big enough and had other limitations that didn't help. My Note and Transformer prime work a lot better as a combo for me.

I have a Galaxy Note and a Nexus 7. Although its a nice device i hardly use my nexus 7 as my Note can do everything it can (except the tegra3 specific games) but theyre not really that good tbh. Nexus 7 with Jelly Bean was much smoother but i have since installed super nexus rom on my note and theyre pretty much the same now.
My Nexus is mostly a home device for me until I get my hands on the 3g version then i will bring it out and will be doing mostly my surfing and emails with it. My Gnote is mostly just phone calls and occasional quick surfing, whatsapp, Facebook, etc.
I reckon a tablet and phone have their own specific uses and each supplement the cons of the other. Everyone should have both!

First of all hi to all of you, I am new to the xda forums and a proud owner of a galaxy note which will soon get a custom rom .
I was also thinking about buying a Nexus 7 mainly for reading ebooks but I am unsure about the display quality - isn't the notes super amoled far superior?

I have both aswell and happy with both of them. One would expect the screen quality of Gnote to be better due to the super amoled tech it uses but in reality it have black clipping issues which make watching low quality videos a problem.

is the Galaxy Note S-Pen working on the Nexus 7 ??
if yes - how is the experience - same as the note or better /worse
I too have both. I love everything about the Note (previous phones were Nexus One followed by Nexus S) except what it's missing... the Nexus experience. The Nexus 7 reminded me what I'm missing. My wife inherited my Nexus S and I still envy her smooth clean experience with a phone that's 2 years old. She has JB with Google Now and all the goodies... I sit here with a beautiful 5.3" screen, and incredibly powerful hand held computer, but stuck on ICS. When will we get JB on the Note (Samsung is in no hurry.They want to sell new phones)? I considered rooting and installing a rom, but after following this forum since I purchased my Nexus One, I decided to stay stock. Too many problems.
After much thought I've decided to sell my Note and will pre-order the Nexus 4 as soon as it hits the Play Store. I will never buy a phone or tablet again without it being pure Google.

Blacks are a lot blacker with the note but I was surprised that the nexus looks much sharper and detailed. Maybe is my lame screen protector not sure.

I'm waiting for Note 4. Don't see many differences between Galaxy S4 and Note 2. Will stay at my Note 2 at least until september 2014 when there is a Note 4 come out.
Lol. No differences? It hasn't even been announced yet.

It will be almost the same as Galaxy S4. You did not notice that Galaxy S2 almost same as Galaxy Note? And Galaxy S3 almost the same thing as Galaxy Note 2. I can't find ANY uniqueness in Galaxy S4 for me.
The s3 and Note 2 are nowhere close to being the same. Maybe looks but inside are not the same.
I wonder if we will see something really amazing, exclusive to the note 3? Thinking back the note 2 had the air view first, any ideas? And does anyone think 2 or 3 different sizes? Very exciting
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Different sizes is going to be big flop concept. Just a couple of variants like s4 is enough, screen size should be same. What I am expecting that note 3 will have smoothness from note 2 and features from s4. In short, it will be a Job Finished of what it would have been in the s4.
You are right

Galaxy S3 and Note2 are the same, inside to. Same exynos 4212 q core chip. only big diference i se is S-pen and screen size. and only 1 gig ram in S3 3g version 2 gig in 4G verersion.
But one exiting thing with S4 4G (I9505) version is Snapdragon chipset, same as s4 google edition, and i thing i saw someone making dual boot google edition and samsung stock rom
I'm going to go out on a limb here and gamble, and say the Note 3 will have at least 2 sizes,and be different to the s4,if you think about it, the mega is not too different to the s4, so I can't see a big presentation showing this, could you see them showing a mega with only a few different things to the mega! Not me, this isn't going to be a apple presentation with only a few differences like the iPhone 3, then the 3s, then the iphone 4, then the 4s.

As long as they don't follow the idiots copying Apple's worst ideas like frigging integrated batteries, no expandable storage with small or very expensive internal memory and scrap metal cases I would buy a Mega-sized Note III the day it's available even if NOTHING but the display size changes from the Note II.
I don't think they will change the battery, and memory card slot, that would be suicidal, by the way the one thing that will stop me getting this phone, AND I mean the only reason is if it has the same flash player as the s4, awful experience, the note 2 has the best internet experience, even the HTC one, built in flash player is awful, I use a football streaming website and only the note 2 it plays smooth, no lag or stuttering, all from the default browser, not chrome, and I tested the mega as well, and same thing, so the s4, mega and HTC one, all have awful flash player experience.

Try SopCast. I have many third party channels in my country, and can see all football matches. Works perfect with Note 2 and S4.

Actually, I already lost count of the S4 variants. One comes out every week I do hope Samsung refrains from this on the Note 3. But I do agree that 2 variants is more than enough. Screen size will certainly increase. That, is almost certain. It would be suicidal not to when the competition will be releasing phablets with screens around 6".

Right on! :good: I played with the Huawei Ascend Mate a bit last weekend and loved its 6.1" screen. I also realized that moving from 5.5" to 5.7" will be irrelevant. I'll have to move to 6" to notice any real world difference.

Phone Arena does it again! Yet another utterly pointless, irrelevant and totally devoid of any new info "leak".
I dont understand why ppl think the Note 3 will come in 3 sizes???? Why in the world would samsung do that? I dont think it makes any sense. I do however believe that it'll come in at least 2 variants, 1 snapdragon 800 version and 1 exynos 5 octa 2nd gen version. I also think that it'll be either a 5.7 inch or 5.9 inch display but most likely 5.7 inch due to all the latest rumors. Samsung needs to leave some room for future notes. If they release a note 6.4 like the Z ultra, next year it'll have to be bigger otherwise it'll be a downgrade in size. Bigger than 6.4 inch is a tablet period so 5.7-5.9 inch is pretty cool.
All the note 3 needs to do ( in my opinion) to be a worthy upgrade to the best mobile device ever ( note 2 of course) is to have a flawless performance and even more cooler and useful tricks with the Spen, have a 1000% lag free experience ( not like the S4 when it launched), slimmer and have less bezel all around with amazing battery life. I also HOPE that samsung ditches the stupid features like smart pause and smart scroll that are honestly gimmicky ( who really scrolls up and down a web page with their eyes...) and give us more very useful features like multi-window. Last but not least, please Samsung, ditch the S4, S4 mini, galaxy mega 6.3 design and introduce us to something more exciting, different and less predictable.
Just need to say that the scrolling the website, is not a gimmick, you will use it and not even realise after a while,
It's a shame that there is so much space wasted on the bezel, I would prefer Samsung on the home button, than above, and also it would be mad for them not to release a 6" size, version, could we see a notification home button like the G pro, phone,

It definitely is a gimmick. I had the S4 and never used it. Its much easier to scroll down the page with your fingers...Also i think 5.7 inches is perfect.

Hi,
I recently bought my Nexus 10 and I notice a few issues with respect to the display of fonts. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 too with me for quiet a while. I was told that the Nexus 10 is superior with respect to the display compared to the Note 10.1. The fonts on the Note are quiet bold and bright while the same on Nexus is very thin and light. I tried increasing the font size but it's still very thin and awkward compared to the Note. Is this because of the higher resolution and ppi of the Nexus? Is there no way to change that?
I am considering getting the 10, and would like to know opinions on this. Can TC include a screenshot of the font?
Have you tried ifonts on app store? you can change fonts on the nexus 7, so maybe the 10. Some fonts might look thicker and bolder....
AFAIK it's about the font used by Touchwiz and AOSP, on my S4 with TW ROM the font was one way, while on AOSP was other . Try that iFont app suggested, may do the work for you
Hey guys,
Am new to this forum. I was using the recently launched Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 and was pretty happy with the phone - the UI, battery life (2600 mAh), size etc. However I came across this guy who was selling a 2 month old Nexus 4 for a reasonable price and so picked it up - thought of giving my wife the Samsung.
Now, a couple of things I noticed abt Nexus 4 is that the screen and colors look pretty washed out compared to the Samsung, the stock Kitkat 4.4 UI and controls look very very bland compared to Samsung's TouchWiz. Am not confused whether to keep the Nexus or to sell it off.
I dont want to make a mistake in haste. What do you suggest?
Thanks.
What did you do before this happened?
The Samsung phones use OLED screens while the Nexus 4 has an IPS screen. The washed out colours is a common complaint and many Nexus 4 owners don't know why the LG-branded version has such good colours.
To help alleviate the problem, it would be best to install a custom kernel or ROM that gives you colour control.
I installed the Experience ROM with the iPhone5 colour profile and it looks much better.
