to a smaller screen now. This phone rocks! Sure, i have a few (non-dealbreaker) gripes similar to others' but ignoring those, the Note is PERFECT. The screen is the most important aspect of a smartphone and the Note's is gorgeous. I hope Samsung continues to make devices this big and badass because like i said, i won't ever be able to use a crummy less-than-5inch screen again.

Once you go Note you never go back.
Agree, the "old" phones with small screens seem like a joke to me now!
same here .. I can even do with a slightly bigger one .. may be 5.7 .. or may be even 6 inch And the phone is WOW

We just got it and we already want more... We humans are so insatiable!
P.S: I would love a 5.5-6 phone.
Edit: It's here. With pleasure I give you the FIRST and as usual ACTUAL size 5.7-6.5" mock-up. Enjoy:
------------Removed the 5.7" for better view of the 6"--------------Removed the smaller ones for better view of the bigger ones---------------------------All included!

I couldn't agree more.
At first I thought it was a giganta-phone. But having been a phone owner since 1991 (when they used to cost real money), I must say the Note cleverly nudges the envelope.
My other smartphones look like wee toys.
My tablets look like laptops with their balls cut off.
Out and about: GNote
Between home and office: 17" MBP
But only as long as my eyes can take the searing resolution! My 41-year-old wife fell vocally beyond that 2 months ago...........

ahahahhaha! Nice one! Never heard it before. Or at least be putted like that.
And on the subject, a 5.5" or 5.7" is NOT at all in my opinion a big upgrade from the Note. Or atleast for those who already bought or planning to buy the Note since I haven't heard/read any rumors or anything about any phones in the 5.5-6.5" category.
Now a 6" android phone? With a Dual/Quad SoC with oled/amoled screen? YES SIR!
I was using 7" galaxy tab but its too big .i think if they keep the size og GN but make the screen lil bigger that would be enough for a phone..

I don't think so. It would kill pocketability. You can squeeze in a little more by killing all the hardware buttons, but this is close to the limit.
The pocketability is great now, but we haven't had people putting cases on yet. Bigger+CASE? Ugh.

Well I respect your opinion but for me it's different.
I measured my usual pockets(costumes/jeans) and they are 19cm deep(Jeans) and 17cm(costumes pants) when sitting. So I can staff in there any phone below the above sizes before it's top/bottom emerges.
Oh and both pocket's are abount 12cm wide.
Yeah, we all have many different clothes that it will not fit(maybe same goes for GNote) but making a statement here.
So a 6" GNote look alike phone based on my measurements consisting of H:160mm x W: 92-94mm is really the actual maximum size of pocketability for me.
BUT: Practical? Manageable? Easy to use? Good for a bit of longer than usual calling etc, etc? Nuh, I don't think so.
But then again.. I don't call/speak on the phone much!
Edit: It's not THAT bigger!

Same here...been rockin' a dell streak for over a year. I've looked at the SGS2, but it seems TINY compared to a 5" screen. If the note ever gets to the states, Amazon (US), I'm getting one. A 4.7" would be about as small as I could go now.

I was looking for PDA with a big screen since 2007 after I bought HTC Advantage X7510 with 5". I can say that the ideal for me from 5" to 6" and no more. Now with Samsung Galaxy Note I would never trade it for anything less than 5" and more than 6".

Oh I had done many customizations for a friends X7500(Athena) and I was a real joy. NOT comfortable at all in your pocket. Why I'm saying this?
Just to think from where we came from and we end up with the Note. HTC Advantage, HTC Shift(can't remember if it was released) and so on.

I have an HTC Inspire. I love the size of the screen and under normal circumstances am never unhappy with the picture quality. Until I use my buddys iPhone 4. No matter how much time has passed, everytime I pick up the IPhone it makes me feel bad about the quality of my screen.
Well the reason I am posting this here is because I have been patiently waiting for the sgs2 to come out here in America so that I can finally have a device with all the specs that I want. Most importantly the screen. I have never actually seen a Super Amoled Plus screen so I was hoping to get some insight.
I know the iPhone actually has a higher resolution, but the sub pixel density on the new Amoled Plus screens is higher. I just like the overal pop of the amoled screens in general and think it looks better than traditional displays. Can anyone who owns both devices give an honest opinion of which they think looks better quality wise.
It would be great to grab my buddys phone someday and say "meh, looks ok".

I just came from an iphone 4, and while the screen was my favorite thing about the iphone, i have had absolutely no regrets after switching the sgs2. Actually, i think the retina display is crap compared to the amoled. The colors are so much crisper and holding the screen a foot away from eyes will get you pretty close to the retina display effect.

I don't have an iPhone 4 myself, but here in Singapore enough people own them (90% of the population uses an iPhone 4 according to surveys), so I have plenty of contact with them. For me, the SAMOLED+ just slightly edges out the iPhone's retina display. The colours are fantastic, but I do love the pixel density on the retina too.
That said, as far as memory serves the retina display is not slouch at colours too. You want bad? Try the iPhone 3GS. The colours were GODAWFUL on that one.
I just hope that we will get SAMOLED+ Retina on a future Samsung device. And that might not be that far away, if the rumors of a 4.5 inch 720p SAMOLED+ is true.
I came from the iPhone 4. I will say that the retina display is insane. Looking at HQ photos and video you cannot see one single pixel. SGS II comes close but you can spot pixels if you look close enough. It is very crisp and clear though and the brightness and color density more than makes up for it

Did you actually read his post? Nowhere does he claim that the iPhone 4 has the SGS2 beat.
He is asking an honest question. I have had both and there is no phone out there with a screen this vibrant. Add the screen size and nothing comes close.

That's you being insecure, I was making a blanket statement. I was saying people can come in and admit that the iPhone 4 screen can't be touched by anything. Even the sgs2.
Or they can say its a close call. As I can not compare the devices, I came here looking for people that could do it for me.

Well .. Any loser that bases there purchasing decision on how sharp a screen is deserves an iphone.. Go ahead.. Suck on them big apple titties...
I just got my Note yesterday and spent a great deal of time with the device. I figure this might be a good place to share the experience
1. Pentile display complaints on Note is a moot point. Specially around the curved text edges, it looks like Note is noticeably sharper than the S2
2. Feel is very similar. Note is pretty much a bigger slightly quicker S2 with a larger screen/battery
3. SAMOLED HD is gorgeous
4. Sad to say this but i'm already used to the device size and S2 feels tiny every time i go back to it
5. Onscreen keyboard is easier to use due to size and spacing (it's probably the best onscreen keyboard that i've used and this includes the 10.1 and ipad)
6. S-Pen is awesome and it works much better than any other stylus that i've used including the capacitive ones

How about fluid and smoothness? as good as S2?
Is it a pain to use in one hand i.e reaching the far side of the screen? or do you need to use 2 hands?
I read somewhere on here that bigger screens dont actually mean more text on the page, its just larger text. If you load the same page in both browsers do you actually see a lot more on the page of the Note?

If the screen is bigger, but the resolution is the same (e.g. Galaxy S1 and Galaxy S2, the latter has bigger screen but same 800x480 resolutio, so the view will be the same on both, with S2 text being larger). However, the Note has higher 720p resolution, so it should fit more.
Sounds good.
I prefer big screens (100inch screen via projector in my living room lol) so i would love the Note. Im gunna pop down to city centre on the weekend and try get a bit of play time with one in the stores.
The modding scene doesnt look very big on XDA at the moment, i guess thats cos its still new though.
I needed a second phone and was about to get a Note. Then I found out it doesn't have Gorilla glass and some users have already reported it easily gets scratched. I hate screen protectors. I agree with the rest of its wonders, but no Gorilla means no phone to me.

Gorilla glass is just a brand name and samsung might be building their own fortified glass similar to nexus
Btw, gorilla glass does scratch and it all depends on what your device gets exposed to

Still LOVE my NOTE!!! I own other devices and even own the Galaxy Nexus but this is BY FAR my FAVORITE device right now and probably my favorite device since owning Android devices!!!
+1 on the Screen Size thing too!!! This thing is a SEXY BEAST!!!
I am very happy with my Note. Had it for about 3 weeks now. I love the big screen and the fast cpu. Only thing I miss is 4.0.
Coming from Galaxy Nexus I miss a bit. But when we get it, it will be game over.
I have mine for about 2 months too !
and I love it !!!!
2nd Month, Never been happier with a phone like this.
Not missing anything, Has everything I expect in a Mobile Device.
I'm quite happy with it, but a few days ago I damn near sold it for a Nexus. I don't use the stylus much any more, and would love to have something slightly more pocketable. I still might do it.
I have had mine for a month and I cant stop playing with it. I still have my epic 4g touch galaxy s 2 and I can't stand using it because the screen is too small!

Galaxy Nexus is a great phone. But you might regret that trade.
I've criticized Galaxy Note on multiple occasions, mostly on the stylus-relate software that has plenty of rough corners and completely dysfunctional behaviour. That said, I criticize everything anyways, it's only healthy to be able to see both upsides and downsides and not just get blinded by one's own rose-tinted glasses.
However, despite its few shortcomings I still view it as a really nice phone and I see no reason to bother with other phones at the moment. Personally I'd love to run MeeGo on it, have an actual hardware button for camera, and have NFC on it, otherwise I find it perfectly useable and fulfilling. I do not know of any currently-selling phone model that would offer MeeGo+NFC+H/W camera button+5.3" 720p S-AMOLED-screen+microSD-support+proper digitizer pen, and thus I will be using my Note for years to come.
I've.had my note for about 2 months..it's the perfect mobile device I'm my eyes...I really don't use the stylus much...I honestly wish the screen was bigger 6 inch screen....I have large hands I was very happy when this fone was released....I don't need ICS to complete the deal....

Obviously blinded by the sun and thus stumbled whilst leaving the basement having a temper tantrum.....still can't find his dummy.
I love my galaxy note. As mentioned before, going back to smaller screens feels weird.
As of the galaxy nexus... Had that, no comparison to the note. ICS might be nice, but: can anyone tell me what FUNCTIONALITY they gained??? Only thing I know is I can't mount my sd card anymore on a PC... And 16GB of memory, no sd card neither... Please... The display is nice for the little device, though completely unusable if you want some correct colours...
The note... Gorgeous, huge display, battery, yet slim. Pen input (note taking and all else) is splendid. Would have a hard time losing that.
I'm looking forward to the ICS update for the additional pen functionality, not that much for the Android update... A side note to those who need ICS on the very first day: many applications didn't handle it very well, it's but now, that it starts working out. No wonder with a slim percentage of devices having it. I definitely prefer waiting a bit longer until things have settled...
N7000 rocks!
atm i have ipod touch 4g and galaxy note white. I cant imagine my life without note, especially when appeared dungeon hunters 3 game for android
Very happy. Sometimes i think...man, it's just too big, but then i use it and all this go away cause i realize why it's so big.
And come on, really guys, stop whining about ICS...i mean can't you just wait one more month ? ICS update is just one con...there's a lot of pros you seem to be forgetting.
I am extremely happy with my Galaxy note, had it since November and its still in perfect condition with no scratches on it whatsoever except that it sometimes need cleaning to keep it shiny as for the phone...I can't imagine going any smaller than 5" and for £629.99 that I paid...it was money well spent, I would have easily paid £800 for it, the best phone on the market even against those quad-cores because I don't think that much power is actually needed or will ever get used.
Had mine for 5 months. I use it as my office and no other phone I'v seen can do the job this beast can. Am still very happy
I love my phone it is gifted from my girlfriend , I became addicted to it, now i dont like any other phones because
1. they are not HD amoled screen looking at them is not pleasant to eyes somewhat annoying.
2. I am addicted to size of its screen which is awesome and very good size people really get curious when they see such big screen.
3. I am more of software person so installing and running application is very good in note.
4. Battery is also good.
5. Color is white.
6. AWesome loud ringtone.
7. easy to use cr4cked applications
8. latest phone
and the list goes on and on but enough for now
no offence to any other phone holders : Peace:

A Resolution with 1280x720 with 4" is not necessary or? So i think it would be a 4,5" or above smartphone, it looks very funny at the ear . A 4" screen with the display of the sgs2 would be nice.

wouldn't mind a 5.3" but that's reserved for the note
Hmmm they say "come meet the new galaxy" is this the sgsIII or the new nexus either or I can't wait to get my hands on one... 4.6" is a lil excessive but as we can tell by the note here comes the year of the phablet.. even so I say bring it on!!!!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
I hope Samsung will release also some info about support of Android versions for this model.
Many people are mad with them for SGS(+) and Ice Cream Sandwich
I don't really care what size the screen is or how many gigaflops it's millions of cores can produce, just don't make it look like crap or make it out of something that creaks if you even glance at it.
Truth is that I will not replace my i9000 to S3 until S3 will be made differently I mean like steel all around (including screen frame) with carbon fiber battery cover, if it is going to be better - it should be better in every single way not just specs. I use my i9000 like an egg and it already have scratches on frame close to usb input and back cover because of my nail. No scratches on screen but i have tiny little dot on glass i do not know how it got there. Samsung was going with galaxy series very well - time to make a quad core tank with lifetime usage possibilities.

So your main criterion for choosing a phone is how it looks?
I've been waiting for this... Will it be the one for real?
surely will have great spec, but just wondering if it's worth its size??? not sure if will replace my SGS (one) or simply buy a tablet to meet my need for internet browsing while on the move... and hope the battery will last for 24hrs of normal usage (two emails/calendars sync on, various apps, internet etc) without looking for power outlet mid-day. My SGS hardly last for one day on one charging...
You could fit a 4.6" screen on a phone around the size of the i9000 if you ditched hard keys and had the screen almost edge-to-edge. I won't buy a phone you need to wear on your belt.e
What's the story with new phones coming in at 4.6"+ displays?
I would think the original galaxy S at 4'' was superb fit for pocket and portability. Increase that to 320ppi with a superamoled HD display and voila we have new SGSIII.
I can't see why they going for such big displays. I even have the 4.3"" HD2 and that's the max I would see for a phone.
There will be disappointment and exhilaration with this release. Either way I am buying this regardless....
EDIT: I am hoping for Wolfson DAC in the audio output. It must have this dac..
See you all in the SGS3 forums on XDA

Not at all, we all know this thing is going to be a beast of a phone, so I have no worries about it's performance, but I want something that doesn't look like it was designed by an art student trying to be "edgy"
But it is getting to the point now where they will all be more powerful than any of us realistically need for the near future, so the look (OLED vs TFT is becoming more of a non-issue) is the only real thing that's going to differentiate them. I don't like the HTC aesthetic, it's just boring to me, Sony have gone all bling again and others like Motorola just seem to design their phones for corporate boardrooms.
Samsung just seem stuck trying to refine the "not iPhone" shape of the SGS 1 in Europe, and it's getting a little boring, time for something new. And it will probably save them a few quid if Apple can't keep suing them because of a physical home button.

i want my voodoo sound too!
Wow.
Just so disappointing.
Larger than two different 5.7" phones.
LMAO, the 5.5" Pixel XL vs. the 6 INCH Huewaiauaia (sp?).

It works for Apple so a presume Google though... What a heck

The bezels are ridiculously big!
Why is there a space at the bottom. There are no buttons or speaker. And what's up with the all white front with a color back. This must be Google's attempt to copy the Iphone design. These Pixel phones are ugly.
really daft to copy iphone in every aspect including pricing!!!!
What does this phone offer over iphone 7 plus!
should be priced around £650 for 128gb version at most.

Because it's using a (very slightly tweaked) HTC A9 body...minus the button.

I just think it's funny because the A9 was a huge flop.

Lmao. Me and my friends call the company Hawaii ^^
It's pretty ridiculous that the bezels are this huge with a mono down facing speaker. Even the headphone jack is on the top, there's nothing that can explain the size of the bottom bezel...
The space at the bottom is annoying put something there or shorten the phone.
It is a minor annoyance
It's smaller than an iPhone 6/S/7 Plus, at least. It's shorter and less wide than the Plus, but it's taller and wider than the Note 7. Much closer to the Note 7 than the Plus, though. Thicker than both, but it's honestly such a non-issue with phones these days being absurdly thin already.
The huge chin just looks so out of place. They could have used capacitive buttons or something. Atleast THEN there would be a reason for such a huge chin, and also save us some screen real estate.
for that price, id rather get the iphone 7 plus
the design, the splintering of software features between pixel devices and non-pixel devices, the price ....it's enough to make me consider switching to iPhone if they stay in this direction

Yea, they're very similar.
They are big bezels but they're not exactly hollow. It does allow a bit more space for the battery by moving components forwards and if you don't like that, it's a place to rest your thumb whilst you're reading
According to multiple sources its everything we wanted in a google phone so of course people don't like it.
IMO its awesome IMO who really cares about bezels probably how they got a bigger battery in a nexus / google phone if oyu got the XL at least. With google its all about the software in the phones and the internals. Plus IMO people just mad b/c it looks like a dump iphone who gives a ****. IMO specs beat the iPhone 7 plus so does the price.
People just like complaining because its what they want finally just probably can't get it b/c of price. Well you need a job to get things you want. =)
Also HTC makes awesome phones like the htc m8 and we know how awesome their aluminum is on phones. So we should be glad its not a plastic POS like some other phones. And IMO glass makes it more durable but it is for the antennas thats why upper half on back is glass.
Sorry for vulgarness, just had to put this put there. Btw who cares if it looks like an iphone most people like iphones look.
