my opinions are, S3 is more ugly tbh
and there are not many huge improvement from S2(unlike S1>S2)
so i m still stick with my S2 now
as i think it is still very useful and the size fit my best
not worth to change, just wait and get s4 or note 2

S3 is leaps and bounds ahead of S2. I upgraded and don't regret it for a second.
NFC is incredibly useful, you can set up NFC tags to perform tasks, for example one in my car enables Bluetooth, turns the volume up to max and starts spotify
Smart stay is really handy if you do a lot of reading.

Exactly, he isn't even posing in the development forum so he's allowed to talk about stuff that isn't related to development.
The s2 is still a great phone and holds its own even compared to the s3. If you can afford to upgrade it's worth it for the screen alone but it won't be a life changing experience.
The s2 will still be perfectly relevant for the next 12 months though so there is no point upgrading if you don't want to spend the cash.
The only reason I got one is I became frustrated with the limited storage capacity of the galaxy nexus. If I had an s2 I may not have bothered and now that I have an s3 I may just skip the s4 and get an s5.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
In your position I would wait for the next Nexus to be released. The hardware will probably be close to the SGS3 with stock Android.
my wife and i went from s2 to s3 phones, HUGE improvements!!! now at what cost, and if its worth it based on that.
she loves the improvements, so do i. very pleased. sure there is a quirk or two, but overall very pleased.

Did you ever consider English may be his second language?
I did not get the impression he was knocking the s3. He seems to be on the fence about upgrading and had found some reasons not to. Still undecided he comes here to ask for opinions from those who own the phone.

S2 still rocks...
My brother have s3 but I don't see any reason to upgrade s3 from s2
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I went from S2 to S3, so I'll give you my opinion:
- S3 looks much better to me. I generally prefer curved phones to rectangular ones. I have the so called blue version, which actually is gray and looks much much better than the pictures on reviews.
- S3 is actually easier to hold in your hand because it's curved and it doesn't have any thick parts like S2's bottom.
- S3 has a much larger screen without having a much larger case. It still fits in my pocket and can be used single handedly, so the extra screen size is all good.
- S3 has a much faster camera. Zero shutter lag makes a big difference.
- S3 has the best battery life I've seen in a phone. I torture it all day with heavy use and when I get home I still have 40%. My S2 had to be charged during the day.
- S3 has the best GPS I've seen in a phone. It's amazing how fast and accurate the GPS is.
What's not better is:
- S2 is just as fast. Extra 2 cores on S3 add nothing to real world user experience. Ignore benchmarks.
- Wake up lag is still here. Damn you Samsung. How hard can it be to make a phone that wakes instantly? Everyone else does it.
- Physical home button is still here. It's still an ergonomical fail. Actually the home button on S3 is even harder to use than S2, so navigation bar with soft keys is a must.
So, in short, I think it is a worthy upgrade from S2.

If that was directed at me thanks for the suggestion, I did consider it, but I'm not sure I can spend another nine months limiting the amount of music on my phone in case I want to record a video. Sadly it looks like Google will never produce another device with a micro sd slot as they are all about the cloud these days. If everyone in the world had unlimited data that would be great but we don't so I'm here.

Sorry. im my opinion the phone has a lot of personality. it´s diferent
and there are not many huge improvement from S2(unlike S1>S2)
i think this is not true.you have a quad core. a 720p display. a 4.8 inh display. Nfc also is new.
the major difference is in software.All the samsung goodies makes it a much better phone.
it´s kinda like iphone 4/4s only siri, dual core and better camera. 4s is top seller anyway
so i m still stick with my S2 now

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

Also has green tint. Worse battery. Worse camera. Worse HD recording according to those "reviewers"
FM radio, etc etc.. only thing the nexus has going is software updates and bigger (albeit worse) screen.
I do not really like justifying purchases, but I do not like the Galaxy Nexus because of one reason:
There is no Micro SD card slot.
That kills it for me, all my Gameloft games already fill up my SGS2's internal SD, and I need space for my music and videos, so I'm sorry, I'm not willing to make that compromise.
Galaxy Nexus: 16gb or less
Samsung Galaxy S II: 16gb+32gb = 48gb (Y)
I would buy the galaxy s 2. It's better value for the money if you flash a nice ROM IMO.
Or wait for the S3. It's gonna be awesome

Eh? Is this a statement or question?
If you asking if it has one, or if you are saying it DOESN'T have one, then you're right; the international GS2 (I9100) actually doesn't have one, exactly. At least, not a dedicated search button, like a lot of other Android phones.
You have to long-press the Menu button to get search. This should work in all contexts. I just tried from Home screen, in the Gmail app, the Email app, and the browser.
Galaxy SII any day, it is the best Android...until GSIII arrives

Can't wait for ICS

Personally, Nexus all day for me. ICS is by far the best iteration of android and you'll get the real deal with the nexus, not some skinned, bloated version. Also, better screen for web browsing, and apparently better sound quality for music.
The SGS2 was and still is a fantastic phone, but the game has been moved on IMO.
If I should have invested another 20$ before I would have a better screen and updated software

Screen nicer on Galaxy Nexus but I don't think I could live with 16GB storage. Very happy with my SGS2 with 16+32GB
I got a SGS2 and its a great phone.
But i have to say, if you are interested in development, go for the Galaxy Nexus.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
You need to think about practicality. If you use your phone a lot searching the web and watching videos, then the GalNex is the best choice (maybe you could consider the Note). Also software wise the GalNex is the winner too because it will most likely have a longer period when it will recieve updates. Also is better for development.,On the other hand if you want a power-house, take photos and movies with your phone daily and play games with more "advanced" graphics smoother you should consider the S2 (or again, the Note). In the end they are both great handsets. It onlymatters how practically you find them using on day by day schedule.
I will try to sell my SGS2 to get a Nexus. Samsung is starting to annoy me with their dev "support" and I would like a Nexus device. I'm personally changing because of dev and rom support and of course the screen looks great. As for 16gb, I've been using a 16gb iPhone for 3 years and just now it's starting to be just slightly small but I can easily manage.

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!!
Intersting article. May be this is why it's so ugly?

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.

I'll wait for one max before making my mind.
Note 3 put others to shame. It succeeded to keep the throne of the smartphones. Long live the king! I will be one of the first day buyers. Cannot wait.

Looking at the specs, not even funny, sammy will slap together a nice bloatware again that will eat up more than half of the RAM anyways, not even considering buying if there will be no nexus version of it.

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.

Then Bye bye to external sdcard slots and removable battery.
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:

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.

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...
