Time for me to say goodbye as I bought a used S3 over the weekend and will be heading to their xda forum now. I've owned the Note since it was first available in the UK and it's a bit of a wrench letting it go; the most unique device out there, for sure. I wouldn't say the S3 is better, just different, and I fancied trying something different for a while.
Anyway, I wanted to thank all the helpful folks on here who've made my Note owning experience so much the better. So, thank you.
Wonderful Guide reference... Bon Voyage!

Awesome. I went the opposite way: used the s3 for two weeks, didn't like the design nor did it feel much if a step up from an s2, so I bought a used Note! Because, in one word: screen. Report back in a week or two on your thoughts! Any reason why you didn't wait a month to check out the Note 2?

I still might check out the Note 2 not keen that they've increased the screen size and lowered the resolution though. Totally appreciate why you've moved in the opposite direction, the Note is awesome. I'm enjoying the S3 so far though, will let you know how it goes in a couple of weeks.

So it looks like the Note 2 is a higher quality screen, fair enough. My 'completely wrong' point was that they've lowered the screen resolution (1280x800 to 1280x720) while physically increasing screen size.

You can not compare things that are not equal.. Resolution on pentile screens are not the same that RGB screens.. so saying that it has more or less resolution its pointless.. its just a different technology..

Has anyone come from a S3 LTE?
The size puts me off, but I had a play around with one yesterday and absolutely loved it.
Please convince me! lol
Please dont buy it because once you go big you can't go back. I love mine and everything else feels so small.

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.

What have you got bud? I'm after the grey one...PM me!
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.

Can you post a picture from each phone to show the difference? My N4 takes pictures with the same quality as my S2 (i777).

The photos look worse because the camera IS worse than the S2 camera. That's perfectly normal. The s2 and s3 cameras are almost identical so there is no surprise there....

Kinda hard to compare it because they are of different shots. Idealistically, you'd want the same picture being taken on multiple phones to see the difference. From the link I listed earlier, it seems that the S2/S3 has a clearer image of text than the Nexus 4. As the N4 is a little bit blurry or the blacks are not as sharp.
Will the Note 4 have full RBG and beautiful metallic feel back like the Note 2 instead of the Note 3's pentile screen and ugly cow skin back?
I just looked at the very first note 4 Samsung manufactured (I got it from them for my birthday) and I can confirm this: yes.

Really?

Actually, I saw the revised model, it's a watch type interface that when you move your hand into a certain position uses lasers to project a hologram phone into your hand.... Really awesome as you can use a certain setting to change it into what you want (you pay for the shape of course)... Hello those burger phones of the 80's... :silly:

From what I can tell, it uses a big ugly square black plastic case.
Oh. That's just the container they send it in before the release to prevent leaks.
Its gonna have huge rocket thrusters that transform out of the device to give the person holding the phone a real big high! And with a screen resolution of 1809008777999x178393977788 and a 26 core CPU with 64gb ram!

No, but again, this article is all supposition with no firm answers... Just a "leak" about what might be on it.
As such, my previous comment can be considered what could be due to the fact you can have lasers make holograms and the HOT smart watch does in fact allow your hand to be used as a handpiece to make/receive calls....

According to an article on Android Authority the difference between 1440p and 1080p is slighty noticeable on smartphones.
http://www.androidauthority.com/quad-hd-vs-1080p-comparison-359430/
But assuming the 1440p screen is a battery drainer, I would probably go for the superior performance / battery life on a similar 1080p device
This is the Exynos Variant! First impressions: Feels better in hands than S20 ultra. Camera is much better in every scenario so far.
the new LTPO display is gorgeous but once in a day there will be some dropped frames because of that auto setting! Sadly we cant lock it at 120hz.
Exynos battery after 2 days is still bad. 4.5 hours SOT mostly LTE. Exynos does heat up with load, comapring it with my S20 ultra SD version.
Anything else feel free to discuss,
Are pics better with pets and people?
Congrats!
