Samsung Galaxy SIV or Galaxy Note 2 - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

Please selece the one you would like in the future.

what are the fantasy specs of each?

I don't think specs matter. It's about about screen size. Take a loot at what's happening with S3 and Note. S3 is supposed to be a lot faster thanks to 4 cores, but still lots of people are choosing Note. Big screen > faster CPU.

This is such a stupid thread. I do not want either of them unless the specs are officially revealed by Samsung.

It doesn't matter. Note 2 will definitely have a larger screen than the S4.

This is false, and I will tell you why: right now the note has reached sales of 7 million while the galaxy s3 had 9 million pre orders... I think if you give it another 6 months (current life of note) it will further destroy the note in sales. Faster CPU > bigger screen for 'lots' of people, especially when it has the fame of the s2 behind it.

This is 2 different devices for 2 different type of people...

How do You know that there will be Note 2? Why would they build it? What they can improve on it? Where comes the trend of Galaxy 2, Galaxy 3, Note, Note 2? Is it because of Iphone? I don't think that Samsung will build Note 2 in near future, certainly not in 6 months or by end of this year. Current Note will be here for at least 2 years. Remember my words...

Obviously Note 2 will have bigger screen than SGS4...otherwise there would be no point in making those two separate devices, would it ?

I would take the Note 1 over the s4 anyway

What if Samsung pay heed to all of the feedback from people that think the Note is too big and make the Note 2 smaller...?
Maybe they'll put a 4.8" or 5" screen in it... and the main differentiator will be the stylus.
All of this speculation is useless. Until we have specs, making a decision, or some bold statement that one device will be better than the other, is foolish.

A SGN user, here, Really love the BIG screen SGN has, my next phone will be another note.
Plus with the success of SGN, I doubt the next phone screen size will be smaller than 5.3"

I'd like Galaxy note 5 but sgs 8 looks also nice. And don't forget iphone 6...

What can we learn from the image?
-HW button for camera
-No HW button but ICS software buttons (like GalaxyNexus)
-Better SAmoled screen higher PPI, i dont think the screen is bigger.
-Edge to Edge screen
-Learning..
Looks pretty good huh?
Tell us what you think of the image and give us your opinion!
If it is, I don't want it! No hardware/dedicated buttons=No deal for me! Most likely this isn't the Note; I'd find it hard-pressed that they'd have a new version built a few scant months after the first Note was released. That would kill Note sales!
it is fake,there are any official information about note 2. but i like this design very much

If the screen size and resolution remains the same then you dont get a higher PPI.

EarlZ maybe was meant like the PenTile vs Samoled Plus. Same res but not the same res. And you know what I mean
From what I understand PPI does not care for subpixel its basically display resolution and display size.. it does not factor in the subpixel count.
Could be the Galaxy S3?
Apparently a snapshot of it was leaked in a promo video at CES this year.
If screen is edge to edge, that wouldn't be good imho. There needs to be a bezel. Otherwise you would have too many accidental presses just by holding the phone.

A design with such a thin bezel doesn't look too realistic.
Yeah I remember seeing that picture and others on sites but I'm pretty sure it was concept fan art for the Galaxy SIII.
Just compare the sharpness of the camera/earpiece grill vs the sharpness of the image. Obviously it is a render.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
It's sure a fake. Why should they invent a mobile phone without and buttons at the bottom. It's ugly without. Just my opinion
Note 2 most certainly won't have hardware buttons.
I'd rather have them too.
Will mimic the Nexus.
Google has already directed developers to begin developing with that in mind.
This concept is the Samsung Galaxy S3, not the second note (N8000)
Btw N8000 got the wifi certificate some time ago I am looking forward to see the younger brother of my phone.
It's a concept none of us will ever see in real life, but many will dream about.

Successor for Galaxy note ?

Hearing some buzz on the successor of note. Nothing official yet,but may be in MWC or Samsung conference in March (?) , But what features the existing and to be owners of note expecting ?
Edit :
I know Galaxy note 10.1 and I didn't mean it.
Adding the main expectations from the user's responses
Quad core processor
1.5GB RAM
No Hardware key
ICS
Bigger screen (?)
Metallic body
Hot swap micro SD
micro SIM compatible
NFC
Reverse tweethering
Upgraded AMOLED
Better DAC - Wolfson WM1811
Better positioning of power & volume key
Dedicated Instant Camera button
more coming...
I doubt there'll be a "successor" to the Note for a while yet, seeing as it's only just been released in the US. A 10 inch version is a certainty, though.
http://mashable.com/2012/02/26/sams...eed:+mashable/mobile+(Mashable+»+Mobile+Feed)
Worth noting - it's running ICS! ^
Been thinking similar, looking at new HTC phones and tablets fro Samsung. They are all very impressive but they don't match what I have with my Note, either too small or too big!!
Quicker the note gets ICS the better.

Given the distinctly "meh" specs of the new galaxy tab 2 10.1, I'm assuming/hoping that this new Note 10.1 will have at least the same specs as the original note (i.e 1.4ghz exynos), or hopefully better. Quad core anyone? Or perhaps the processor from the upcoming Galaxy S3? Who knows. I just hope it is more than just a tab 2 with a stylus.
No it does not have the same specs as the note. 1ghz processor, 1Gb RAM and 7000 battery

As the chap above me said, that isn't the Note 10.1. Hopefully the Note will be a "premium" model of the Tab. I predict a 1.5ghz, and a slightly higher res screen. Which is a shame, as it'll probably be completely blown away by the iPad 3's Retina display in less than a week's time.
That tablet looks dumb. Same hardware but bigger battery n kinda better screen res? What a waist .
Sent from my Ice Creamy Note
My predictions for the Note 10.1
1080p Screen (SAMOLED HD, not 'plus')
7000mah battery like on the new tab.
Next gen exynos processor (my guess would be the 2ghz dual core one.)
Hopefully it will have a SPen and Android 4.

So the note will evolve in a tablet? What's the logic behind that, there's already a billion tablets. The note is the perfect size and serves both needs, a tablet and a phone.
That's why it's called a "Smartlet"...

Time for the developers to get the note 2 rom on our mighty note 1. Let's see how
Long it takes:good:
i don't see the point of upgrading mine. nope.
Not that impressive with specs
Will stick with my Note and see how things go till I make the plunge,disappointment for sure.I feel Note -1 will remain unique comparing with this:silly:
The 2gb ram and quad core is hardly of any use.. Except hardcore games. Note 1 is super amazing for everything . also display on note 1 is better ppi and resolution wise. With jelly bean and the note2 features ported to note 1 I'm sure it's gonna be rocking.

Things I like on the Note II
2gb Ram
Bigger Battery
Still not worthy of an upgrade. Plus I think the Note I has better screen resolution than Note II.
Not a big deal, i won't buy it... seems like S3 is better than note2
Video frome TheVerge
I knew they were going to use the s3 design on it, but I was hopping that they will go in another direction.
In my opinion s3 feels so cheap when you hold it, then it feels even cheaper when you are not holding it because of the glossy plastic and greasy fingerprints on it.... I'm gonna stick to my note, maybe note 3 will be better.
I like the hardware on note2, but still...
Can you confirm the LED Notification light? Because RGB Led doesn't exactly say it...
Can't believe no one else has said it.
F*ck the note 2... why halllloooo Samsung galaxy camera!!! Now that is one sexy beast!!!

It's the end of one beatiful friendship...
Let's check possible scenario:
1. New one Note 1 in my country is 420 €.
2. I can sell mine for about 300 €, if I was lucky... In perfect condition, btw, with 4-5 cases.
3. New Note 2 will be, IMO, around 600 € plus minus 20 €.
4. So, for 2 Gig of RAM, and better batery (+300 mAh) I'll have to pay +300 €.
5. Let's check the other manufacturers offers, it's about time...

Note 3 with 6.3"

I have read 2 threads in N7100 - general section about Note 3 with 6.3" to be out in 2013.

6.3" is little too big for note as a phone.

If you google "6.3 inch" all results are about the note 3. If this turns out to be truth - they are keeping the aspec ratio of 16:9. ..
Damn !! 6.3 inch is bigger than my...............................................................................................................................hand
Still, If it has a flexible display then that would be awesome, Although im intregued as to how a flexy display works, Surely it wouldnt be as clear and colourful as the amoled ?

I went to the store and compared my note 1 to a note 2 - nothing great about the note 2 at all. Really no more real estate just slightly taller - so worthless to me - than even lesser resolution. So I will wait. Glad they announced this because bigger really does help me - as a prof / researcher / grad chair on a multi campus university - I can do so much with the Note. A little bigger is even better. Best thing about announcing the Note 3 - vaporware or not - is I do not have to keep thinking about getting the Note 2. I have a reason to be happy with my Note 1 and wait. Peace of mine.
for me it really depends.
if it's nearly as large as the nexus 7, then no. I won't buy it. if it's only a little larger than the current note 1/2 and the bezel is tiny. then I might consider it.

A big note with 6inches? Thats not a portable Phone.. You do not go to the beach, or a disco, or somewhere with a big Phone like that... Its doesnt feat anywhere, there are no pockets for that..

nope.
they are just assumptions.
note 3 will probably come out in september and there are 3 full months, samsung can change anything in that time.
the current assumptions are as follows-
5.99" screen probably 2xxx by 1xxx resolution
13mp camera
octa-core @ 2ghz or snap dragon 800 and @ 2+ ghz
3 gigs of ram.
that's all that has been most rumoured yet
What about the battery ? 4000mah?

Don't know mate, but to me it's not a huge upgrade! I mean if you look back, Note to Note 2 had 100% upgrade, so in that sense Note 3 should have 4 GB RAM.
Anyway, I'm quite happy with 2 GB so far, haven't seen any apps get closed or anything, yet.

The most interesting rumor I read was that of a 3x optical zoom on the camera. Don't forget, the note 2 was supposed to have a 13 mp camera originally but they couldn't get a good enough supply so stepped it down to match the s2's camera.
3 GB RAM is nice - but not particularly important for me. But what really intrigues me is the battery - hope they pack 4000mah battery now, that'd make me seriously tempted And since it's FHD it's likely to be pentile.
What really worries me though, is the thinner bezels making the OLED more prone to cracking - I mean I never thought anyone would report S4 having cracked OLEDs by just keeping it in pockets - having gorilla glass and all that. I really suspect this is due to thinner bezels.
5.99 is a real mistake. ...i am glad because that way i wont spend money

I skipped s4 because I already have monster note 2 in my hands. I am very ery happy with it, now I am very much excited for note 3. I really believe that Samsung will bring their A+ device for note 3.
