I think the Galaxy Note is better than the S3... Seriously. - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

After seeing the s3 all I could think was how quick i'd get the Touchwiz/Default phone mode off it if I owned an one.
Once you use AOKP/AOSP in tablet mode there is literally no going back to that touchwiz mess... Seriously... Touchwiz/Default android phone mode just looks so silly now. WOW.
Also the quadcore while nice isn't enough... and no stylus... still pentile.
Camera app looks interesting - wonder if it can be ported to the note...?
I can't wait for the super hybrid rom for our Note that uses the Galaxy Tab 2 Touchwiz tablet mode framework and features the best of the Galaxy s3 and ICS Galaxy tabs..!
And Samsung I am no apple fanboy but what the hell is up with copying siri???

Of course it is dont even know what was the big fuzz oh and is ugly as hell

talking about design, for me note is far better, but s3 has bastard hardware and new features ;D

Yes some of the features I like to have, in our note.

Safe to say those are the exact specs we'll see in Note2? What ya think?

I'm just hoping that we get Exynos 5 dual instead... a15 is the way to go hands down.

I'm happy that S3 isn't something totally new, as my SGN will keep its value longer + there is pretty good chance that most features could be ported to our lovely Note SGN is better looking, it's got more interesting features and it stands out of the crowd
S3 looks like some fancy soap

S3 looks like the my touch 3g....not that impressed...stick with the note...only gonna be bigger faster stronger.....

Yeah, SGS3 is a bit of a letdown, but that means that my one month old GNote was and still is the better buy. I can't say that I didn't expect that, it met my expectation just right. I laughed at people who thought that it would include A15 processor and some other crazy things. What I am surprised with, is the pentile matrix of the display, but I guess the techology is not there yet. Well, I guess the next big thing to wait for is GNote2.

Read reviews in other forums and found similar replies
S3 is fugly and let down.
Galaxy Nexus and Wave 3 have the best design in my opinion, this is how S2/Note/S3 should have been.

I think now I know why Sammy's logo was all about pebbles being blue and white...
the S3 is actually design to look like a pebble...
hmm.. now this gets me into thinking.. would you pickup this 'pebble'? or just throw it away?

GS3 Veredict: Pass
I like the design, bluetooth4, the fancy software and NFC, but it doesn't have enough arguments to even remotely consider swapping my Note.
After all it was a minor upgrade to the SGS2. It's a pitty that so much expectation was created - it's a very nice device, but slightly better to what's in the market already.
If I had to choose between the note and the sgs3, definitely the Note.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA

Think I'm gonna pass too. Don't think it's that ugly, but it didn't WOW me like the Note did. Hopefully they launch the Note 2 by end of year...

Have to agree, underwhelming.

Going to stick my neck out and say it looks lovely, unique design and nice new features.
Sent from my Galaxy S running Slim ICS 3.5 and Midnight kernel from my XDA Premium app.

If you guys want to solace yourself by saying that S3 is < Note thats ok. But I do think that the S3 is definitely a better phone. I think after two months of dev support, it will be the best phone in the world.

Galaxy Note vs. Galaxy Nexus

Nice comprehensive review between the 2 top dogs.
http://www.mobiletechreview.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Number=41874
I imported the GSM Nexus, had it for 3 weeks, then sold it to get the note.
Once the newness of ICS wore off, it was just another average phone with a poor camera.
No regrets at all.

She even went as far as to call it "Lisa's Christmas Toy" which I love! haha. She is a fantastic youtuber and reviewer in general. I always look first for her own reviews. I decided to buy it after watching that review, and her making a few statements about it on twitter
i have the note, my brother has the galaxy s 2, and another friend has the cdma nexus.
The note is the best of the three. The nexus is probably the best looking in my opinion and it also feels the best in your hand.
The SII has a much better camera than the other two though. The nexus is probably the most responsive as well although it could be because his phone was brand new and mine was already rooted and running custom launchers and whatnot

Had to google it to make sure its real. but thats got to be one of the best placenames ever
I have both the internation Note and the GSM Galaxy Nexus. I really like them both, I prefer the Nexus when it comes to feel in the hand and portability, but like I've said before overall I just enjoy using/playing with the Note. I know people moan and whine about manufacturer overlays like TouchWiz, but when it comes down to it it's just stock Android. People constantly add all kinds of 3rd party widgets and apps, and then none of them flow together, where at least everything has a similar style on a manufacturer customization. The Nexus is a little smoother/faster, but the Note has better battery life, better camera, little bit higher screen resolution, plus I feel like games and stuff work nicer on the Note. Also the whole stylus feature is pretty awesome. Oh also expandable memory. I switch back and forth between my Focus, Note, and Nexus. Out of the 3 I feel like I'd be most likely to sell off the Nexus first.
I think it's a bit of a shame that the Note doesn't have NFC, I want to get the Note soon but I'd like to be able to use Google Wallet with it too

Galaxy s3? Opinions?

What do you think of the galaxy s3
My opinion: only a better camera and processor than the GN.... so its a ****tty ugly phone.. this time you FAILED samsung!!!!!
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2
I'm totally with you man!!!
I mean, samsung created the galaxy nexus! The most beatiful phone i have ever seen... then they make a s3? Most ugle phone i have ever seen!!!
Then the camera: same as the s2, so basicly the only thing bettee is the processor and a ugliee design...
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2
I also think the GSIII is disgusting. I'm getting the Sprint Galaxy Nexus once this semester is over but I'm not a fan of the Galaxy Nexus' look or build quality either. I wish HTC would make the Nexus line. I loved my Nexus One.
I think they kinda dropped the ball on this one. Sure it has great specs and all but the design just turns me off, it looks too wide, and it reminds me of an egg. My eyes are set on the GNex still, same display, direct AOSP support, and one of the most beautiful designs of any smartphone. Maybe my opinion of it will change as time goes on but for right now it doesn't interest me much. Oh and Samsungs whole "inspired by nature" talk was so cheesy lol

samsung seriously delivered on the gs3, but with just a few critical errors
1. pentile screen.
IMO, idc if its pentile/non-pentile, as the 720p screen is more than enough, but a lot of people seem to think otherwise.
2. plastic finger-print magnet glossy casing does NOT looks premium.
3. back design.
4. 8mp camera. yea, megapixels arent everything, but a 12mp camera would have been MUCH better for marketing, as well as impressing more people on first glance
everything else if GALAXIES better then what the competitors offer.
still pleased with the s3
Demo was a joke, which completely sums it up with this device: a simple joke, that isn't even funny. Camera has pink hue, ****ty "S" branded gimmicks, plastic build, hardware buttons, 4x4 grid on 4.8" screen (hilarious gap), pentile display.
Lol haters. The gs3 is the biiizzisssss. Open up eyes dummys. Plus when is hits here it will most likely have a slight makeover.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2
btw adding to my previous comment:
what i like most about the gs3 is:
1. fast camera (rate of 3.3shots/second)
2. popup play
3. all the gesture functions
4. front design
5. camera face detection
6. smart stay
7. exynos quad
8. wireless charging
9. screen is 0.01ms response speed
10. 2100mah battery
the only reason you guys are dissapointed is the pentile, plastic, and placement of camera/speaker, but not looking at all the new features which honestly makes it much better then the one x.

Complete dissapointment, were still waiting for full support for dual cores. And Samsung decided to put a quad core exynos, when the dual was amazing. Also when is Samsung going to get the memo, not body wants cheap plastic maybe polycarbonate or something to that effect but HTC and Apple seem to be the only, ones who know how to build a sturdy phone. Maybe Sony and.Nokia aswell
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
Not a big surprise that this doesn't appeal to Nexus users. I'm not a fan either. That being said everything about that phone says "I'm for the masses" and the gnex, not so much. I think Samsung wanted to make a user friendly phone like the iphone. Steal away some customers from the crapple crowd. To be honest, this looks like it will grab some of those customers. We are not those customers. What I did find funny reading some blogs today was that people were complaining about it having Touchwiz on it. I hope no one here actually thought it wouldn't have that on it. The galaxy s has always been a phone for the masses and this falls right in line with that marketing strategy. Throw a ton of user friendly apps, that will all be available to us soon, make it bright and shiny, and have it come in some groovy colors, and bingo. Not to mention a nice size screen, not to big, not to small. Add to that all the cool kids are using Android now and people are becoming sick of the same old iphone year after year. This is a good play for Samsung. May look like garbage to a lot of us but it will sell very well to masses. Lastly I don't see us getting the quad here in the states. They have borked almost all the quads so far because of the radios here in the US so if you are saving your pennies for one of these because of the quad, don't count on it.

It's so ugly, I can't believe that the editor form Cnet made a comparison with HTC One X and iPhone 4S. And this editor told us S3 got so attractive design. It's the best phone till now. Holy ****!

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!!

Go back to the HOX thread
I had the One X and after a day with the S3 i can say i kills the One X in so many ways. Usebility, sound, screen, so many different options you can choose, better email client, better keyboard, much much better battery life. Don`t get me wrong, the One X isn`t a bad phone at all but the S3 is superior to it.
I have 5,5 hrs. screentime after the 1st charge :victory:

Both email clients have their advantages over the other. The gs3 is a great phone but:
The screen is nowhere near as readable in bright conditions (and the dark themes are not helping)
The radio on the One X is heaps better. Has more bars and I can make calls where the Samsung drops out.
Haven't quite decided which one to keep and other than the above points the differences are not that not (except the sd card and battery of course)
Don't know why people bag the gs3 design either.....I think it's just fine!
If Samsung had put the best materials in SG3, would not discuss what the best phone. That's my opinion.
Yesterday Ive put galaxy s3 and hox side by side with a friend and now my friend wants too trade, but I still don't Luke Samsung
I don't like the design, the GPS performance and the UI. Still a lover for sense. Inside on an old building ive got 2bars off network and none on samsung. I make a call and didn't work on samsung.
Bluethoot integracion with my fiat works better with hox than samsung. For some reason I can't copy my contacts from samsung to my car, that's kill me.
Htc have much more options for personalization than galaxy s3. Ok we can put cm9 and miui and transforme this phone's completly and turn daily use the same cheat
The things I like on samsung its only 3. Dialer with 3g video call, better camera on video and the back speaker its much better
That's my review

Yahoo finally note3 which is worth the upgrade

There were some conditions and some limits i have put to get the note 3.
One of it was if its not bigger than 5.8 and i am happy amsung listened instead of going for big bigger and biggest they kept it under 6.0.
Now for those shouting about the finishing they also get something different.
Samsung gave a genuine reply to the lg g2 and sony honami.
For me i think the time to upgrade my phone has come and once again this device has a wow factor just like my note 1 when it was released.

Well it does have 3gb of RAM. Samsung's bloatware can't eat THAT much RAM. This time it seems some of the software are actually useful, like the magazine thing.
Any idea if this will have wireless charging?
Note 3 and z ultra are both nice. Waiting for a head to head review before deciding myself. Htc max might be nice too but i doubt it.
Regardless, will wait for a $500 pricetag anyway. Maybe black friday or an xmas sale.

Xperia Z1 looks tempting for it's 20.7mp camera, it gets much love from the AOSP crowd and CM, however the screen looks unsaturated and the bezel is huge as Nexus 7. This sure is a tough decision. Note 3 is perfect in every way but freakin' Samsung sources makes flashing to AOSP roms obsolete. There's pro and cons. There really isn't a perfect phone in the market is there?:crying:

Note 3 is perfect in every way but freakin' Samsung sources makes flashing to AOSP roms obsolete. There's pro and cons. There really isn't a perfect phone in the market is there?:crying:

Does the same problem exist for the Snapdragon 800 version of the Note 3?

Good question. I'd like to have sd card slot and removable battery - that droved me to note1.
Now if s800 will be supported better then I'd love to have this hardware without bloat.

Tho I bet the internal storage will still be limited, just like the S4

No problem with 64gb card
Whatever people say, samsung really made android commercial which the htc was unable to do in the past. The initial TW on galaxy S and the note 1 evolved greatly and now bears really capable features. Those who are tired of it can move but those who dont want to root or custom flash their devices can enjoy the stock loaded android with many special features like the multiwindow the scrapbook, new S note and obviously the s pen.
Let others do complains about samsung. I am among those who appreciate their hard work and tribute to them to make my note 1 functional and up to date even after 2 years.

I was thinking about buying a Nokia Lumia... aaand the Note 3 was anounced. It's the best update for the note 1. The hardware and the desing are very good. I just hope the price will not be tooooo much high like 700$ ^^. I'm going to wait when it will be 500$.

totally agree
before I fork that money I want to be sure genious devs have adopted it and got it working without to much work. Good sources etc.
was hoping on wrist mountable flexible screen. This wil do lol, knox is awesome.
I wonder what the screen will be like? Hopefully a lot better than the note 1, it's almost impossible to watch any film etc on mine, if there's any dark colours it just clogs up on the screen, Note 3 hopefully has ironed out all this!

That was my concern, too. I searched and found Note 2 did not have the problem. So, I believe Note 3 also does not have the problem. Cannot wait.

I wait to see more custom CM 10.2 rom (or up) popping up before going in.
I probably could never go back to touchwiz after cyanmod...
