Thoughts on the galaxy note.

I thought I was pretty set on getting the galaxy nexus when its released, now I'm also thinking about the galaxy note. Just wondering what others in the community are thinking.

That's my question too. I would really love the stylus for work. I think I would use it all the time, but I am stuck with Sprint for at least the next two years.

I think galaxy note is targeted for specific people.
Personally, I will not buy it, because:
1. it's not nexus (fear of being left behind in terms of updates+features)
2. Too big for my pocket
But I see that it has usefulness that I heard web browsing is so much better due to bigger screen. The bigger screen allows reading, watching and typing better.
About stylus, I think its a gimmick. Unless you have something like iPad size (which still limited that you have to write like you are using a crayon), writing in touch screen is cumbersome.

It's freaking huge. Have you ever held an iphone? Yeah, I'm comparing apples to oranges, but the phone is huge.

The Dell Streak, compared to this, is longer and thicker, but the Note is wider. There are some videos up on YouTube with people putting the Note in their pocket and making calls and it's really not that big. Heck most cordless landline phones are bulkier than the Note.
Also if it gets ICS with the new version of TW that is less inttusive , that would be awesome.

I put a comparison pic of the note and the gnexus and an article up in the rumor thread. Ill find it.

the dell streak5 was the only phone i was willing to leave sprint for... then when my contract was up the streak5 was gone, too ahead of its time... soooo wherever the Note goes, I goes 2... GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!!!

I'll take a Note in white please...kthxbai

I want one so bad but I don't think its coming to the US. if it does it doesn't have a cdma radio so it will go to at&t or t mobile.

Finally motherf***er!

You wants the note
I can tell

i like the Note
its dope its lil big for me i suppose for a phone
i mean the s2 is a 4.5 inch screen
thats even big enough and well
since its fast and responsive i wont use the pen much

It's a Kenny Powers reference: NSFW
But yeah, I really want the Note.

AT&T has had the note for over a month. Used it for 2 weeks...it was OK. Barely fits in the back pocket and made my Epic feel like a toy. AT&T Hspa 4G is the biggest crap going but once LTE is spread out more it may be useable. The CDMA version will be called The Journal and rumored to go to Verizon and maybe Sprint.

in my opinion this really does look pretty i just dun like the place of the front camera
are you excited about the atrix 3?
Features(from a chinese website):
Tegra 3 processor
2GB of RAM
720p display
10MP camera with dual LED flash
Droid RAZR MAXX-level 3300mAh battery

Honestly, it kinda looks like a kirf droid. For AT&T's sake I hope the specs are amazing, we need a strong phone from Motorola .

Not a bit, but I do like that widget. Anybody know what it is?

It better have a tegra 3 and LTE support unlike the HTC one x.

I hope Atrix 3 bootloader isn't locked like Atrix 2. Would be even better if this was a Google Nexus device with Jelly Bean pre-loaded. Liking my Atrix 1 international (non-4G) a lot, especially cause its quad-band HSPA.

keep dreaming lol
anyways about the phone, it kind of looks dull and boring adn the operator logo is there just to waste space? wouldnt it be smarter to put capacitive buttons there instead of wasting the part of the screen

Capacitive buttons? Soft keys on the screen is a better option for ICS. However, I agree that the carrier logo is ugly as ****.

well, soft keys just waste space on the screen for instance look at the htc onex, lg optimus 4x, and the sgs3 . All have dedicated buttons (gotta say i dont like the hard home key on the sgs3 though), which looks better and more useful at least in my opinion

Samsung to unveil Galaxy S4 at CES 2013

With the Galaxy S3 being a huge success for Samsung, all eyes are on their S4 to follow up on that and Samsung isn’t slacking. In fact, looks like they’re already working on it and have plans to debut it early next year.

Rumors are already abound with the specs of the device, which include a 4.99-inch, Full HD Super AMOLED screen, a pixel density of 441 ppi, Adonis Exynos 5400 Series Chipset, at least 2GB of RAM, and an Cortex-A15 processor. Also, better contrast and refresh rates along with lower power consumption is in the cards. And Mobile Choice reports that Samsung plans to demo the phone at CES 2013 to release it on March 2013 instead of its usual summer release.
First glimpse of Samsung Galaxy S IV coming soon
19 Nov 2012
First glimpse of Samsung Galaxy S IV coming soon
Company likely to show off 5-inch full HD display in January
Screens are becoming a key battleground when it comes to smartphones these days, so it's no surprise to hear that Samsung is set to show off the screen for its next flagship smartphone ahead of the phone itself.
Samsung will demonstrate a 4.99-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display at CES 2013, according to sources in Korea, who in turn cite inside sources from the company. The AMOLED panel is said to be 'very thin', with low power consumption, as well as high contrast and refresh rate. It also has 441ppi pixel density, which is more or less perfect human vision.
All well and good, but the problem right now is Samsung's ability to turn that technology into mass production. If the company can do that (and we really wouldn't be surprised of they do), the screen will be the one used in the Samsung Galaxy S IV, which is scheduled for launch in the second quarter of 2013.
Offering a full HD AMOLED will be a huge and unique selling point, so we suspect Samsung is currently working round the clock to get those production methods just right. If you happen to be anywhere a Samsung installation and you hear the sound of breaking glass, that's probably what is going on.
Regardless of that, the test screen should be shown off in less than a couple of months. We'll be there to get eyes-on to see it in action.

3 gigs of RAM?
I was thinking of keeping the Note 2 for a while but this is a game changer.

If it really has 3 gigs of ram, and the screen is larger without making the body much larger, especially making too much wider (I had some trouble with the original note...) I think I'll buy it Maybe... haha. I love my note 2 soooo much!

I'll watch the size first. But i bet no FM radio too.

If the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will have an octa-core processor, I will have no doubt of buying it. :highfive:

Yo!!!! Am definitely upgrading to note 3!!
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

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?

Im hoping for snapdragon 800 @2.3ghz
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

It's only worth considering if it comes with 32GB internal storage as standard.

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.

I really hope it does come with the snap dragon 800
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

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
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2

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.

That's exactly why. Some people (ridiculous imho) might view the Note 6 being inferior to the to GS7, just by the simple fact of the number being lower. Seems not as new as the GS7. I guess to match iPhone 7 too.

I gave my s7 edge to the wife. My note 4 rooted is better battery and pimped to my liking. Too bad. That phone was gorgeous.

I used to root and flash a ton. For an experiment I tried using a stock ROM on my note 4. Found I didn't have anymore use for root and Roms and got used to it quick.
On the s7 I enjoy using Samsung pay since it uses a virtual card at the stores so when places like Target get hacked again, they won't have my real card number. And I can't use Samsung pay with root or Knox tripped.
Will get the note 7(6) when it comes out of it is water resistant and has a micro sd card slot.
Some people still enjoy flashing and rooting and that's cool. I just don't have the time anymore with work and raising a family.

Also evidently the Note 7 wont ship with Android N. just 6.0.1. These are all rumors or so called leaks but....hope it releases with flat screen option and Android N!

The Note series rarely, if ever launches with the most up to date Android. Since they launch almost in tandem, if not slightly before/after the official Android launch. Our 910T didn't get 5.0.1 until late April of the following year.
