Hope it has no phone function unless via bluetooth.
If it has a 10.1" screen no point in calling it "Note". It's against the basic motivation "all in one ultra portable" behind the "Note". I think it's just a Samsung employee mistyped.

I suspect with all the patent wars going on the "Tab" has a poor rep with distributors and retailers. Rebranding the tablet as the more successful and undamaged Note may work well for them.

As I know from the last rumors... Tab = with pen
Peter and chaosdefinesorder both have good point but I think it may not come out as well as expected for Samsung. "Note" was on the right path through becoming a real brand icon with some unique features as the name "iPhone" recently is. "Note" is probably the truly first device i-people consider changing their iPhone for. If they use name "Note" for tablets with pen I think they will lose that chance for good. I mean nobody calls iPhone as apple brand phone right? So it's better if Samsung keep "Note" as a brand name for specific highend models with s-pen and tablet-phones upto max 7". And they shall not release various different Samsung devices like 7"version and 5"3' with brand "Note" at the same time. They should release new version only once a year like iPhone does to keep Note brand name as perfection for ultraportable phablets if they wanna keep sales so good as it is now. So when people hear "Note" they will know exactly what it is and can picture it clearly instead of letting them think about it's one of Samsung phones among various different models.

I am pretty sure these will be new tablets with the digitizer pen, hence the name note. No one ever said that note should be just a phone, note name is connected to the pen not the phone.

Why would you want to limit the phone!? If you don't want to use a large device as a phone, just don't. But other's might. I just don't understand when people ask for limitations.

The Galaxy tab 7.7 seems like a perfect fit for those wishing for a bigger 'Note'. It has phone capability, so grab a BT headset and go for it.
http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/7.7/index.html?type=find
For me I want the 'phone' size of a Note (I really do not feel it is large at all after a couple of months), and have a good big tablet for home use for playing games & surfing. That may have to spend a lot of time charging, or have some meaty batteries.
for me best phone/tab would be : galaxy note plus
5.3" screen
quad core cpu
1.5 gb ram
12 megapx camera
2x usb ports (for connecting hdmi adapter and other one for charging phone)
better battery
and the price of this phone i wouldnt care

Yea for me, it's all about the larger screen and S-Pen. I'll probably only swich once the Note 2 comes out, and even then, that's just a maybe.
S3 looks good and is packed with good hardware by not worth upgrading from Note
The only problem I have with the S3 is the screen. It was never meant to be 5.5 though otherwise it would have been called Note II rather, my next phone that is! Can't go even an inch smaller now..

Definitely - the S3 won't be my next phone, but please let's have a 64GB version with microsd expansion in the next Note. Native ability to use filesystems that can support files bigger than 4GB would be a big plus too, I want to be able to take my blu-ray rips with me.
I don't like it's shape, it looks a bit girly. Usually I am an early adopter of all the newest phones but after the Note, I won't go for anything less. S pen for me has also become an essential criteria, can't wait for premium suite apps!
I really dont like the design...the rest is fine. This whole "nature" thing is a bit misplaced i guess...big galaxy event, nebulaes etc. in the announcements - and the phone looks like a pebble...
I was afraid of this to be honest. The specifications are not that appealing for current owners of Note.
I think as far as design is concerned, its not any worse or better than what we are used to from Samsung. I just think that HTC caught everyone by surprise this time around with overall design aspect of their One series. Including Samsung.
But I do like the other non performance related improvement that SGS3 brings like wireless charging and streaming accessories (I know DLNA is there but not everyone is setup for that ). I also like the slight changes made to the UI. But I guess the real bang would come with Note 2 in the future. Its slightly underwhelming upgrade for current Note users. I honestly did not expect non RGB panel on flagship even with such high PPI count. It just feels like Samsung took little conservative approach with SGS3. Its still a beast of a phone, but it wont be carrying the WOW factor that SGS2 and Note had.
See the attached file
Nice phone. If the Note didn't exist, I would be all over it.
Don't care for the shape.
Specs wise it is nice, but not nearly enough to tempt me away from the note.

haha he might be on crack but let him have his opinion S2 made me a big fan of samsung hardware and after that moving on to note I really cannot imagine going back to s2 in my wildest dreams.. kinda sad actually how the evolution of smartphones spoils our tastes at such fast rate.. i still reminisce about my old 8850 which cost more than these suckers and was the sexiest thing that time but having used the note for few weeks and seeing the launch of s3 I am very happy that I wont have urges to upgrade anytime soon..With all the big bucks samsung earned since Q1 2011 I really had higher expectations for s3 design and build material.. what was all hype about being waterproof, rado material blah blah its quite disappointing but atleast I know now I made the best choice to get note instead.. Maybe next year if samsung does learn about the blunder they made with 2012 unpacked event we might see more innovative products as the note for 2013 lineup.. keeping fingers crossed!
ps. I always hated apple products not because everyone loves them but I just have better experiences with other products such as creative for mp3, alienware of laptop, samsung for phones but I can never bash on their product designs because thats only thing i think they should be acknowledged for.. having said that i must say as of today for design, id lean more towards the htc one X having held it when buying my note it really is of great build quality.. If HTC can improve their vision and focus on design and quality, then samsung should really be inspired to innovate not immitate and instead of being immature going after apple fanboys, focus more on better QC as i thinkg its one of their biggest problems due to so many manufacturing facilities.. everyone is entitled to their preferences, one should not look to be better by insulting others but instead win them over genuinely by developing superior products and through positive WOM.. Next to watch out for would be NOTE2!!

Wow, with the note being such a success I wonder if in the further all phones will be 5.3 inches and future 'tablet/phone' hybrid devices will be 7 inches?
Even now some people say I'm ridiculous carrying such a big phone but I see this 'big' phone being looked at as 'too small' in a few years??? Though I don't think they will make phones with screens bigger than 7 inches considering 7 inches is already a 'mini' tablet's size.
Either ways I also hope they don't release a Note 2 so soon, just bought my note in February, would hate for it to be 'old' or 'outdated' in less than a year, I feel like past mid 2013 would be the perfect time or maybe end of 2013 in December.

That's actually very interesting because they pumped a lot od money to manufacture and promote Galaxy Note which was - let's be honest - an experimental device. With 7 millions sold - and people getting excited about it everyday and buying more and more - i guess Note 2 is a matter of time.
But i have to agree - not yet. It's still too early to release Note 2.
The note is an amazing device, everyone that sees mine loves it even if it is a bit big for some. I normally get itchy feet around the six month mark of having a phone, thinking I want a new one, but haven't thought about getting a new phone at all. Its amazing how badly the dell streak did compared to the note. Probably because of dells lack of advertising, but also I guess all the right things just came together with the note and has captured peoples imagination, the hd amoled screen, the s-pen the dual core great camera, great gps it just does everything well. Never had a phone I enjoy using so much!!

I'm sort of doubting that 7" will become a phone standard. The Note is already approaching the upper limit of what many people can reasonably hold and fit in normal pockets. I wouldn't be surprised to see some tablets come with a mic and speaker to be used as a phone though.

I tried to carry Galaxy Tab 7.7 (it support normal phone, I can call and sms), it was too big for me. Ideal is 5.0 - 6.3.
6 inches would be an ideal replacement for a tablet and phone to me. Galaxy Note 5.3 sometimes feels small for internet or drawing.
Yeah I hope note 2 has a bigger screen. 6 would be good

Yea now thinking about it again I doubt 7 inch phones but 6.5 inch is still possible. Only one thing that gets in the way, when we use the note to talk...... now with the note even though some people are like its so wired, I think its just fine as its just right from my ears down to my mouth, the length of the phone is exactly right and its not too wide that to covers the entire of my face on the side, so bigger screen mean its going to be longer/wider, I can't say it will look wierd until I see it being used but this is definetly a concern.

No matter what, the Note 2 has to be pocketable.
That totally rules out 7".
I could maybe see 5.8, if they somehow find a way to make bezelless phones. Which completely hasn't happened yet. I already can't really tie my shoes when it's in the front pocket of a couple of my pants. It's pretty close to borderline for me.

I think we should be reasonable here.
I think if anyone who wants Note 2 to be bigger than 5.8" should really consider getting a tablet and phone separately.
I wouldnt mind a 5.8" personally but anything bigger will be really hard to use as a phone.
Also I really want a 16:10 ratio screen res like the current Note.
Perhaps 1920x1200
Im all about bigger screens but anything bigger than the Note would be simply too big for me. Still im pretty sure they could manage to give us 5,5" screen without increasing the device's dimensions. That would be nice.

5.3 isn't small, but when you use a tablet like the iPad to browse than switch to the Note it does seem small, same thing with browsing on a note than switching to other phones, it does seem small but over all 5.3 isn't small.

OK maybe if the cut off the buttons and just have one small (but big enough for the average thumb size) home button and removed the Samsung logo ontop of the phone and made the screen wider removing the little space on the sides, it could happen, also hope that in future Notes, speakers are on the bottom or sides of the phone and not the back rely dumb to have it there

Hi Guys,
I currently own the Galaxy Tab 7.7 P6800 and love the device (especially after the ICS upgrade).
Such a nice combination of size, and functionality.
With the Galxy Note 2 reportedly coming out soon, what do you guys think about the Tab 7.7 successor?
I believe the Note and Tab 7.7 were announced the same time last year.

Don't ask me how I know this, but there is (or was as of a few months ago) a successor planned.
I also love the 7.7 because of the size, super amoled plus screen and the build quality but that comes at a high price compared to other tablets.
I would love Samsung to release a successor with a higher resolution screen (1920*1080), 2GB of memory, 2-GHz quad-core processor, S-Pen and Jelly bean which would make upgrading worthwhile.

Lets get a petition going. Ask them to sell it for $700-$900 gsm unlocked through google play. I'd pay $1000 for THIS one if it had a wacom digitizer...
Sent from my GT-P6800 using XDA Premium HD app
that would be nice... but dont want to pay premium for a device thats not future proof. Samsung and Google should go for 7.7 Nexus (premium device):fingers-crossed:
well if the new tab is a Samoled+ and 1080p along with the same battery timing and a 2gb ram + quadcore+ maintaining the same thin form factor then i will pay twice the price of the current one.... and i would love it like hell if there are two slots for microsd cards rather than just one... that would be the ultimate feature...
So, gentlemen, we've brainstormed the perfect SUPERTAB, now how do we get samsung (the sAMOLED+ patent holder) to make one?
7.7" form factor
sAMOLED+ with wacom digitizer (aka s-pen functionality)
243dpi or 1080p
2 sd card slots or perhaps 1 micro USB
GSM cell and data radio
5500miliamp bat.
1.4 ghz quad-core
2GB RAM
Really, the nexus, note, gTab 7.7, and 10.1 should all be galaxy class devices and have similar specs. Release them all at once, every holiday.
How do we get samsung to even consider a premium tier, mid tier and low-end tier though?
Their approach is so scattershot, there's no way they'd ever operate this way.
Granted, sAMOLED+ will be replaced SOON. My guess is 2015, likely by motorola or apple,
Capacitive brushes and precision styli won't require wacom forever... it wasn't hard to come up with what would make the next gen version of the p68xx worth paying for, so how do we move this forward?
Sent from my GT-P6800 using XDA Premium HD app
hope they include
-IR blaster
-mini USBport
-8-12mpxl main cam with xenon flash
-thinner bezel
they should redesign the speaker positions like those gtabs in germany wherein the speakers are on top and the bottom of the device (front facing i think)
so that whenever I play something, I won't inadvertently cover the speaker ports
Are you kidding?
I've only just started using my 7.7 in earnest after the ICS update.
Hoping a Jelly Bean rom will appear in the coming months and a 7.7 successor will be irrelevant

i agree to this. but yeah a successor would be nice. as long as my current 7.7 can do what i want it to do then i'm fine with it hehe.
for me, at least, the features that i would like for it to have is:
- higher resolution/dpi screen
- 8 or 12mp camera at the back
- 3 or 5mp camera in front
- removable/replaceable battery (no tablet has this i think)
- microUSB suporrt
- a better and faster media scanner (current one is pretty slow)
- orientation lock for the native video player
- better/louder speakers
- support for external hard drive usage
- dual sim support
- dual microSD suport
- keep receiver mode (love that i can call and send text messages using this tablet)
speaking of impossible, it would be awesome if the tab industry makes a tablet that can fold the screen into two, making it two screens. just unfold to return back to the full screen. LOL

Why have you stopped?
But seriously, there is no reason why these can't be included in a tab, but the drawbacks, I believe are:
1) Google want people to use "cloud"/internet to save and retrieve information from - not USB or internal storage - more advertising revenue (?)
2) The reason for a non-replaceable battery is that it is of a much better quality, whilst keeping production costs down - spare part batteries may also keep the device going longer than Samsung wish.
3) other things will come as technology improves and costs are kept under control - e.g. producing a drastically better dpi screen would double the price of the tab because that is not the current norm.
Anyway, this time next year, a lot of these wishes could be the norm.
A removable battery should be included, what happens when the original battery dies? Are we gonna be forced to buy a new tab because we can't replace battery?

7.7" SAMOLED 286 PPI @ 1080P, oh man that screen would be gorgeous... That screen + Exynos Quad + 2GB of RAM would be pretty sweet device (and realistic too). Because they can make higher PPI displays using pentile matrix on OLED tech. (S III has 306 PPI).
Unfortunately with the release and pricing of the Nexus 7, I'll be surprised to see Samsung continue to compete in this area... Which is unfortunate with the many features I appreciate missing in the Nexus.

The next nexus tablet could be a motorola, which has licensed the sAMOLED patent from samsung, or samsung manufactured the screen for the droid razr... also, toshiba has released a sAMOLED tablet, but I've been too busy fawning over mine to pay much attention to it.
I'd be willing to bet a "nexus line" of products will be coming along soon. Mid-high range devices for professionals and not just enthusiasts...

You are right. Will there be 3rd parties willing to offer replacing batteries? I fear a period of time will come when people start ripping out the insides to replace parts and they won't be able to. The battery is my prime suspect.
Suggest it to Engadget and get them to post it up on their site.
Apparently Samsung look to their comments section for feedback on their devices (their laptops anyway).
I personally will stay with my current,because i still feel its quite fast and good enough for a year of its lifespan
for all the presumed specs till now, i don't see any reason to change either
I will invest my money on Note 10.1 instead of upgrading to Note 2.
if the note does not get full jellybean project butter by the end of the year, I will unfortunately part with it.
I'm thinking of a galaxy nexus for now but I'm reluctant because of the lack of SD support. We shall see. But I need project butter. Badly...lol.
Once I have it I be happy to keep my note. I wish I had never seen or heard of project butter sometimes.

Either way Im not fussed, Im perfectly happy with my Note 1 - I must admit its the best phone ive ever had, Maybe not as powerful, but ive never loved a phone as much as i do with my Note
I will buy Note 2 only if the camera is 12mpx.My Note speed now is great,wont be any difference between 2 or 4 core. The screen will be almost the same imo, so if the camera is still 8mpx its not worth it to buy Note 2

If I wanted to get the Note 2, that means I would have to sell my Note for around £400 or even less, I paid over £600 for my Note. Now, the Note 2 will likely cost around £650 when it is first introduced, if I wait for the price to drop then the Note price will drop too unless I sell it earlier.
Personally, I don't wish to pay for something with a slightly bigger screen size and a very slightly better specification that the Galaxy S3. I never use my Note at full processor capacity, so I don't see the point. Unless the Note 2 has soemthing revolutionary then I might give it thought.
Probably will.
Bigger screen, smaller body. Why not.
I will get it if the screen is bit bigger and also with more added features like the s3

I'm even considering buying a tab 7.0 plus for screen size.. Only thing that stops me it's it has no phone calls speaker so everyone will ear my conversations but yeah I'd get anything with a bigger screen.. In fact I don't know why they don't cross the real boundary of phone and get more into the fields of tablets and come with a 6.3" screen... I think every Note user will feel the call and inevitably get note 2

I love my Note but I'm pretty sure I'll get a nexus as my next device.

It will be a 13 megapixel camera
I'll buy it for sure. Just throw out my old 1 and get my hands on the new one

So you mean we miss you here.
if they issue the note 2 without emmc bug i will probably get, if they dont i wont
Note II is not an upgrade when they are not using the a15 architecture. Also they are still using the Mali 400 gpu correct ? How are you guys seeing the Note II as worthy of an upgrade?

:good:
I feel exactly the same.
And I do have tried for 3 days a 7" tab (the original Galaxy Tab) but it was just a tad too big to fit the places where I usually carry my smartphone. I reckon would it have been 6.5" it would have fit, a real pity.

No such problem anymore! I don't remember if it is the Galaxy Tab 2 7" or the Galaxy Tab 7.7 or even both but they have both a loudspeaker and a regular speaker with the latter and the microphone placed where they normally are in a phone! :victory:
P.S. the G.Tab 7.7 is so gorgeous that from time to time I am tempted to get a bigger bumpack and to give up on carrying my smartphone in my jeans back pocket and jacket pocket like I do sometimes...
Will certainly go for Note 2 if:
1. 2G RAM
2. NFC
3. Better build which can differentiate itself from Note 1
4. LED backlit (preferred but not mandatory)
i dont have a thing for Project Butter because my current GL NoteCore + Kingdroid > whatever butter out there
Now that CES is over, I still feel that the Note 2 is a strong contender 'till Q3 of this year.
Other than Chinese phones from ZTE, Huawei, and Lenovo with questionable hardware, software, and support, I saw nothing that was 5+" that I'd consider a N2 competitor. I think people bought the N2 for different reasons. I bought it because of the Wacom digitizer with palm rejection, S Pen, S Note, and the other functional enhancements Samsung's added. Nothing has been announced, leaked, or even rumored to compete with those features. For those that bought the N2 as a "giant phone" and nothing more there will be lots of newer phones with smaller and larger displays and higher PPI and faster SoCs out or announced in Q1 this year.
Note 2 was outdated as soon as it was released just like any other technology. And this thread since there is another just like it.

I dont think its outdated. None of the other phones have the added waacom digitiser and stylus afaik.

The only reason why xperia is better- it is water prof, but still pretty much useless add. 1080p ress? Who needs it? On small screen 720p is more then enough and AMOLED >>> TFT for sure.
At the moment Note2 is still peace of art and definitely not out dated.
Barry you got a N2? whhhaaa?

Samsung should come out with a very small smartphone. That way there will be a phone I'll want to buy to switch to when I want to go mountain biking. Use the Note 2 when I want productivity at my fingertips, and then the micro smartphone for when I want to be on the move. Something the size of the RazrM, possibly a little smaller and defiinitley thinner.

Yep. I was tired of bouncing between Sense on my phone and TW on my Note 10.1. I really like the features of the Note 10.1 and now have them in a handier size.
Wow. Note 2 owners with wee wee envy. The phone was outdated as soon as it was released. Still doesn't stop it from being one of the best and most desirable phones on the market. Later little girls.

I agree. I have to put my note 2 in my bag with my water bottle and my one x (which is my music player).
Im looking at the xperia z to replace the hox as a secondary phone as long as it is a little more durable.
A note 2 and a mountain bike are a terrible combination haha

I don't see any phones on the market with much faster CPUs! Or with more RAM? Camera specs can be argued (more mpx doesn't mean better pictures). The only thing I can see as an upgrade in other phones is their 1080p displays. But I have a large battery. I have a stylus. I have a notification light. I have a removable battery, too! I have a big Samsung community behind me as well.
If you really feel like your device is outdated already then I think you have an issue with technology, and not the actual phone itself. if you really feel that your phone is outdated the moment it gets released then you must never feel content with anything you buy!
It's fast, and it has top specs if you ignore the 1080p display. I don't see any other phones with a wacom digitizer pen! I'd rather keep this display and the pen than have some over hyped 1080p display and feel like I have a GIANT PHONE.
I <3 my Note 2

I absolutely agree. CES 2013 did not lived upto my expectations. I was really expecting dome Phablet with real digitizer (that stick me to samsung).
Nothing noticable other then Huawei Acsend Mate exceeding Phablet Limits 6.1

The only thing that can make the Note 2 outdated is the Note 3.
