Hi everyone.
What Samsung Smartphone is the best the Galaxy Note 2 or the Galaxy S3?
Chose the best for you. And post why you select that smartphone.
At the end of year we will see the results.
Please participate in the contest.
I voted Galaxy S3 for the following reasons:
It is the perfect size
and other stuff
The reason I did not favour the Note 2 is it is way to big for my liking.

S3. Much more development on the s3 then note 2 , perfect size and perfect weight. Just wait for an S4.
I'd love to swap my SGS3 on Note2. Or Nexus 4 with expandable memory (or 32GB variant...)
My vote goes to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus thanks to the better software and opensource Texas Instruments attitude...
(yes, I recently DOWNGRADED from a i9250 to an i9300 )
The s3 of course, because the Note 2 is too large to be used as a daily smartphone :/
I hope they dont make the galaxy s4 larger than the s3
Try asking in a general forum next time, not an S3 forum.

In 2011, 2012 and this year Samsung brought plenty of Android devices. Today we received, through our insider the first pre-list about upcoming Android updates from the Korean giant. Samsung will update the Galaxy S II and Note to Android 4.2.2 but this will be the last update for these devices. This means the Galaxy S II and Note received an update from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 and will stop at Android version 4.2.2.

I read a while back that they are introducing some kind of theming/skinning engine to enable carriers to update quicker, hopefully this engine will enable themers to have a good old hack and play! How deep into ui this theming goes is anyone's guess
This is great to know S3 will get another year of updates especially knowing also the S3 will get all the features of the S4 that do not require new sensor/hardware
Given the money they are making with the Galaxy S series, it would seem a really smart move to invest a small fraction of those benefits in updating the Android OS version, to buy user's loyalty. I still don't trust the source completely, but the strategy makes sense to me.
Ofcourse this is not official so we shall wait and see

of course, this is not official, but I believe its highly likely we will get 5.0
samsung wouldnt kill s3 so fast, specially with a so capable hardware

It would be weird for the s2 not to get the update , cause it has the same soc except that s3 has 4 cores instead of 2...

Seriously...do you still expect s2 to get 5.0? You should be very happy if it gets 4.2.2...it really has similar cpu architecture and that means its still capable of running newest androids, samsung wont upgrade because of age, not capatibillity

Is this a response to the Apple claim that the S4 is being launched with last year's version of Android, that the Android market is fragmented over so many versions and capabilities?

Would be nice if the S3 gets android 5, but it's likely most S3's will have crapped out by then because of the faulty nand.

I have a theory that on each boot the emmc chip plays a little game of russian roulette with our partition structure and format - blowing out the brains of the unfortunate partition that happens to be chosen.
The result of which poor partition got terminated varies from a wipe and reflash upto a hardbrick and warranty repair...
I respect samsung for the S2 updates.
The S2 is a historical phone, it's gone through 3 major updates.
And they are doing the same for the S3.
They took down the whole market with just 3 phones, and now they are looking forward to adjust themselves on the throne with a 4th one.
One thing i can't wait for is the S4 features to play with on the S3.
It's almost confirmed that we will get them, as i see strings of those features in the MB3 leak.
All i can say, good job Samsung.
The only let down of Samsung is their care against the developer community, if they would be more like Sony. I'd never buy anything else than a galaxy device.

It's already confirmed. Samsung said we will get all the S4 features which aren't directly hardware dependent (features which require certain hardware to be there, like the infrared thingy)
Android isn't even completely optimized for Quad Core yet, The Galaxy S3 has at least another year of support left.
I love when a new Android version comes out. It makes our phone brand new for a while. I hope version 5.0 or whatever can fo that for me so I can keep this bad boy another year.

We got a 99% chance of getting KLP because there's no way samsung will update the GS4 only + The GS2 got 4.0/4.1/4.2 and the GS3 got 4.1/4.2(leaked) only so the GS3 will probably get 1 more update after 4.2 which is 5.0.
I have a request if you don't mind.. I BEG you to please add Samsung Galaxy tab 7 Plus P6200 to your devices Only one developer in the all of XDA and the whole world is currently supporting the tablet. Please, consider this tablet as it's so good but no one seems to care about it!
You expect them to support something none of them own?
