Alright guys,
i need some expert opinion here,
I've never used a smartphone before, but last week i bought a galaxy s2, i think it was last wednesday, just loved the phone, but the battery was very unstable, so i took it to the customer service center on saturday, they offered me a replacement S2 because my phone was just 3 days old.
Anyway, today I got a call saying that I can collect my replacement tomorrow, or I can choose to upgrade to galaxy note (by paying the few bucks difference).
So what do u guys suggest? time is short, so answers as soon as possible please...
if you loved the s2 then stay with the s2 . or try out demo the note in the store then decide . ( if you happy with s2 size and no need for the note size )
Sg2 is almoust same than galaxy note,if you want very.big screen then you buy note, both are very good phone.note also have a pen but idont never use that pen.sg2 is better in hand but note's big screen is very nice to watch videos and browsing.sorry my bad english
i did like the S2, but the battery life was horrible for me... and i have average sized hands but thick fingers.. so i keep getting things wrong.. i was wondering if the note will help improve that...
also i am from india, the S2 in india is still version 2.3.3 , only was to upgrade is to use a custom rom, i dont want to risk the warranty just yet, and the note comes with 2.3.5 .
these are the positives i see in note, that being said, i loved my s2 for the 3 days i used it, i mainly use video streaming and business work related browsing.
Will the note be able to match up to the S2 in the display and brower aspects? also application compatibility
and thanks to both of u for the quick replies
The Note does the same job as the S2, but especially for video en browsing, and anything else benefiting from a larger screen, the Note is more pleasurable to use.

There are a couple of s2 to note threads for you to search for and look at. The GPS is another huge difference.
Go to YouTube and watch some reviews and videos of the Note, and go to a store and hold it in your hand(s).
hii
im from india too n recently sold my 5months old GS2 n got note and i must say i did a good thing buying Note.
advantages over S2
1.battery is better.
2.Display is AWESOME text is super crisp n clear.
3.HD screen 1280x800. which will be useful when ice cream sandwich releases as it takes full use of it.
4.android 2.3.5
5.extra customization over S2. (OTA updates now work in india,new live wallpapers ,weather widget @ homescreen)
6.dual core 1.4ghz (s2 1.2ghz).
only problem is size if its ok with u then GET NOTE!!
its upto u buddy to make the choice.
SIZE...is the key for me...
I came from the S1 to the Note...didn't get the S2 as i didn't feel there was any true advantage but the Note has a larger screen and as i only use my mobile for calls for approx 1 hour in a month, the rest of the time being used browsing the web or sending text / whatsapp messages i thought the Note was a better fit.
Me and my wife rearly pick up our laptop as the Note is so well suited for the web too...
Her Galaxy S now feels like a little toy!!! Couldn't go back to a smaller screen now so careful!

I don't have the Note yet, but i couldn't imagine going back to 800x480 after using 1280x800.
Yes, forgot to mention the resolution...especially. When browsing web sites in landscape mode, everything fits perfectly without zooming 99% of the time.

P.S: Enjoy the thanks by my stupid usb mouse.
If you dont mind a very big screen,the choose note.
I guess we're on the same page I wouldn't mind seeing a 6" note. I have been using the Galaxy tab as my cell phone for a year now so I'm like stepping back in size but stepping forward everything else.
Just check out the Note for its size. It can seem a little oversized for some people (although, with my large hands and fingers, I love it). If the size works for you, I'd really recommend the Note.
The S2 is miles behind when it comes to resolution and internet-experience. And it doesn't have an S Pen... People don't realize how much value the S Pen adds yet. I didn't even get to using it fully until yesterday (3-4 days after buying the Note) and I got sucked in just drawing for something like 2 hours...
You get xtra benifit in Note
- 2.3.5 inbuilt with Indian language support (I can read gujarati n hindi),
- OTA firware update
- Kies Air hav known issue on S2, working nice on Note
Hi guys! Just wanted to share my experience with the P6800. For weeks I've been using this as my main video player. I had an iPhone 4 & Galaxy Note before and currently sporting a Galaxy S3. Also had an iPad 2. I mentioned them because earlier today, just for fun, I copied a bluray video (The Pacific mini series episode 7 in 1080p bluray mp4 format). I just had to try and play the file in different gadgets all at the same time. I even included my Alienware M11x in the mix.
So there I was in my room, each gadget faced towards me with their respective stands. I asked my brother and sister to help me play them all at the same time. I was astonished to what I witnessed. So I am ranking the video playback according to how beautiful it is to watch on, and all of us 3 agreed. No picture or video will do justice on how beautiful the screen is on the P6800, you really need to be there personally to see its majesty.
Results (by ranking):
1. Galaxy Tab 7.7
2. Alienware M11x
3. Galaxy S3
4. iPad 2
5. Galaxy Note
6. iPhone 4
Reasons (my opinion at least):
Galaxy Tab was easily the best to view a video of that caliber. The colors were really streaking out of the screen and the level of detail was just amazing. M11x came second because although it was very crispy, the lack of color kinda ranked it below but I'm sure there are people who prefer less vivid and more realistic colors, its just that the 7.7 really made the scenes come alive. Galaxy S3 was next because it was like a tiny version of my 7.7. iPad 2 faired okay but pixelated from time to time even though it's already bluray and it lagged a bit. Galaxy Note... wow I expected more from this one but the black clipping/artifacts just turned me off, still good during daylight scenes though (I believe it is an issue for the Galaxy Note, Samsung please fix it with the Note 2). Lastly the iPhone 4, need I say more?
Anyway I am about to sell my 7.7 since iPad Mini is coming out and I really need an iDevice to keep in touch with my relatives since EVERYONE in my clan uses Apple products (which sucks since I love Samsung's products), just that I really need FaceTime (we converse a lot, its ridiculous LOL). I will surely miss the little fella, might buy it again though after getting the iPad Mini (unless it has retina display), just can't live without that beautiful screen! for now I'll just keep my S3 close by. Salute to the P6800 society! :good:
for how much? can i get for half the price? lol kidding
am about to upgrade from the original p1000, never, ever, even for a second, i thought about ipads or whatever they do... take my advice, keep the beast, you won't regret mate (ics is already here) .

The 7.7 screen is, indeed, awesome and that's why I made my mind early on about the 7.7.
My main hobby (...at a very advanced level...) is photography and there's simply no other tab around that features the contrast of the 7.7.
This said, I must point out that the white point of the display is quite "warm".
I would love for manufacturers to understand how critical image display can be for some users and come up with a in-built feature (...or a 3rd party app...) to allow for display calibration.

I use the standard setting.
Dynamic artificially boosts chroma and Movie dilutes contrast (a sign that they have little knack for naming, as contrast is, probably, the single most important item for cinematic purposes)

Came from a S3 LTE...Loved the S3...LOVE the Note 2 more...lol. The speed, battery life, screen, all much better! The size at first was a little big, but after using it a bit when I pick up my S3 it seems so small. The note 2 is well worth the upgrade IMOP.
Having used S3 and now note 2 I would say n2 is a far better phone bar couple issues. Screen resolution and camera are better on s3 if you can live with that then go for it however I would recommend waiting for HTC's Butterfly DLX before you makeup your mind. If I had a choice and both butterfly and note 2 where available I would definitely go for butterfly, purely due to far superior design and specs

My now sold Galaxy S3 LTE had the best Amoled screen (in terms of color reproduction) I've ever seen. Absolutely no color cast! My Note 2 has the worst LCD in terms of color reproduction, it is completely yellow...
I see no difference in the camera whatsoever. I believe they are the same hardware, camera wise. As far as the screen, when I set my S3 beside my N2...N2 wins. The pentile of the S3 is just not as good...IMOP.

multi tasking (split screen), lets me watch videos and surf the net. Forget that popup video player. It blocks the screen and is more of an annoyance. split screen video watching and web surfing is definitely the real way to do it.
bigger screen. You get used to the size. The S3 starts feeling uncomfortably small in about a week. You want to be using the Note 2 when making that realization.
S Pen...AirView on webpages totally rocks.
S Note...ability to have a device to write on as soon as it is out of your pocket is a big deal.
Battery life...is as good as you can get for a smartphone.
You do have to get used to the size a little. It is uncomfortable in my jeans when walking up stairs and sitting, but it is a small price to pay for an amazing device.

I also came from the LTE S3. Everything about this phone is better (screen, fluidity, speed, hardware, etc). Go for it if the size doesn't bother you. I love it.
I usually change phones every couple of months, but this may be the only phone I've ever owned that may hold me over until the next version releases.
Also came from the att s3 to the att note 2. You can't compare them. The note 2 smashes the s3 in every way. The screen is so much brighter. The loud speaker is at least twice as good. It's way faster. Everything on this phone is perfect except s note should open faster. I rate it 9.8/10

Actually the screen brightness is identical but it is much faster than a 1gb S3.
Loudspeaker is the best but the most important thing is that the Note 2 will last 8 hours of screen time with no problems!! That is just amazing!
Yeah easily 8 hours. Idk, the note 2 feels much brighter to me for sure.

I got my S4 on day of release, and have just, yesterday, swapped it back for a Note 2 (plus cash).
I had a Note 2 before the S4 and I liked the size of the screen etc.
I was impressed with the S4, but after a while I noticed a few things that actually annoyed me intensely with it.
Battery life is awful. It would last only around 5 hours, and that was not doing a lot, and would drop from 100% to around <10% in such a short time.
The heat issues the S4 have are incredible, especially when charging. I actually wondered if one day the thing would burst in to flames.
It would be uncomfortable to hold at times, especially on a warm day. It seemed to exacerbate the problem.
Another thing, the screen in direct sunlight. Even though it would be set at the highest brightness, it still would not be bright enough, and because it would get warm, it would dim the display more to "save it"
I guess that's AMOLED for ya.
The Note 2 I have now, I got it at around 12 pm yesterday, and after setting it all up how I like it, programs, themes etc, after around 5 hours unplugged, it had only used around 16%. That was after messing with it a lot. Had that been the S4 it would be way down almost out of action and I'd have to charge it again.
So, I'm sad to say, I only had the S4 for 23 days.....
The S4 looks and feels nice in the hand, has some nice features, but I have to say, the Note 2 does it for me due to battery life.

Thanks to this post. I'm sticking with my Note 2.
I believe a major cause of the shorter battery life is due to the 1080p screen, which is existent in other high end phones like htc one and Xperia z. The race for Bigger and higher resolution screens have put battery life to the catch up game. I recalled when I first got the note 1 the battery sucked real bad due to the large screen size albeit 720p.

Screen issue
"Another thing, the screen in direct sunlight. Even though it would be set at the highest brightness, it still would not be bright enough". This is exactly the same with GNote2. I live in Cannes, France, a really sunny place, and i always have problems with that. If i'm outside, and wanna check my phone, i have to hide in shadows like thief, even if the brightness iss on maximum.

FHD is not that big a difference. I can't tell at all post flashing custom kernels in fact. And surprisingly it looks much better than some FHD LCD phones IMO. And regular pen or pencil or even other stylus is not a replacement for S Pen - when it comes to pressure sensitivity, accuracy etc. - with it's wacom digitizer.
And 6.4 inch apparently - too large for my liking. Might as well get a tablet then. By the time it's out, N3 will be out anyway.
The tablets are out today in the US. Let's sticky this and make this an impressions thread. I know there are a couple of owners in the thread below but hopefully we can keep them in here!!
Well I bought the 8.4 today and so far I like it. It replaced a note 8.0. Screen is awesome and the speed of the unit is quite nice. The only so far was that right out of the box it started doing a software update...that ran and after the tablet had an issue with samsung and had to hard reset. So far so good

Same here, I bought a G Pad and kept it two days and then took it bad. So slow and sluggish, even with debloated ROMs. I got the Pro 8.4 today and wow is it awesome. Screen is gorgeous, it's super fast, feel/weight is nice. I can't wait for someone to release a root for it so I can get rid of some of the bloat on it.
Early thoughts on the battery life for the 8.4?
That looks like the only weak point on the specs sheet.

Does the Galaxy Tab 8.4 Pro (Wifi) have haptic feedback and a notification led light for emails and missed skype calls and stuff? I'm new to this whole tablet thing.
Also got the 8.4 and love the bright screen, performance. The rear camera is very nice as well. I'm at 51% battery at 4.5 hours of use. What he'd YouTube videos and some live TV

Yes it has haptic feedback, not sure about the LED. The buttons may pulse or something but I haven't noticed it.
Tab pro 8.4 is a lot better then I thought it would be. Just got mine today.
But two things I wish it had was USB 3.0 and 4 app multi window like I believe the 12.2 has. I'm sure once we get root. It will become available shortly after.
The screen on the 8.4 is phenomenal. It is very thin and light compared to the Note 2014 and Note 8 that I have. The biggest issue I have with the Note 8 is the screen and the 8.4 certainly fixed that problem.

I'm coming from the Note 10.1 2012 to this new Pro 8.4. Other than missing root at the moment I'm loving all aspects of this thing. Screen is outstanding, battery life is more than acceptable (bought it two days ago and so on initial charge), it's quite snappy, and the size is a prefect balance between being able to hold it in one hand while still being able to surf the web like a laptop screen.
One thing I'm not seeing any discussion about is the handwriting recognition. I can type in cursive using my finger and it does a better job than the old Note with a stylus.
