I was using Gnote for almost an year and recently got nexus 7.
I have nexus 7 with me most of the time and seems that I have almost cut down 80% of using Gnote .
I wish samsung came out with a note 7 inch with phone capability...
This would a perfect device for me...
Anyone in the same boat ???
Since the announce of Note 10.1 i'm scouting the internet to find any rumors on Galaxy Note 7.7 (7.7 rather than 7).
I will almost certainly by a Note device with this screen size (and body - it should be narrowed down coparing to Tab 7.7).
So, YES

Do you use your nexus 7 out of your home?? Can you carry it in your pocket?? For me that's the point.
At home, you are right, nexus 7 would be better.

Me neither... the borderline on my part personally would be 6"... any phone or phablet more than that.. is an overkill already for a phone... a tablet.. okay but a phone and a tablet.. that's ridiculous already!
Yes. I currently own a 7.7 LTE and this thing is awesome.

Actually I bought a tab 7+ awesome piece of hardware.. Phone calls able and everything tried it as daily phone and its just too big..

In a heartbeat. I have the 10.1 tablet and it is just too big to tote around. It's a real sweet tablet. I have always liked the 7 inch size and still reach for my old HTC Evo View first. I would sell my Note phone and also the 10.1 and use an old flip phone for calls.
I used the original galaxy tab for about a month as my main phone due to losing mine at the time. I found it to be usable in most situations. It was actually pocket able even in skinny jeans (at a push). I rarely call so that helped. However a 6" device would be REALLY awesome. I'd get one of them!

For the information of all-Samsung was the first to introduce the Galaxy Tab 7 inch with phone capabilities. I had one and it was simply too big for a phone. The tab 7+ model is still available with features of the note.

Does not support pen. This is one feature that Samsung a leader in note category
Galaxy Note @ mobile
Size bigger than 5.5 inch is difficult to handle as phone
So note 2 will be fine for me.

I would buy a 6" Galaxy Note without blinking an eye.
I was hoping when the Note 2 was announced that it would be 6", but alas!
I'm not sure but I am guessing 6 is the top of normal portability.

I would love to but as it is I have difficulty typing one handed on the 5.3.
Give me a 7" Note with edge-to-edge AMOLED (so smaller than current 7" tablets) + a newer and more powerful Mali/Adreno GPU and i'd kill for it
Yes, but only with phone bezel.
If they put tablet bezel of 2cm, I don't want it.

What can I expect UI wise? I really like the clean look of the Galaxy Nexus UI especially the people app. Can I expect the same on Note 2? Also, how's the smoothness? I've used GS III and wasn't happy with the choppy UI.

Note 2 hasn't been released yet. You probably know more about the phone than anybody else at this point......
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
To be honest you can expect around the same UI and performance as the GSIII. The GSIII serves as a good reference point for the Note II though there would probably be small differences to accomodate the massive arse screen lol. Although it may perform a tad better simply due to the raw horsepower however it still probably won't be quite as smooth or cohesive as the Nexus.
Yes it will be smoother than the S3 and that's because of jellybeans project butter. it somewhat forces the UI to stick at 60fps at all times.
Oh my, finally an Android tablet that doesnt feel like a downgrade from an Android mobile phone.
Nice lcd screen, nice weight balance, nice keyboard and most of all so smooth, exactly like the Note 2 I had before.
I'm not a big fan of Touchwiz but on this tablet it actually seems to make more sense than in a phone.
I've wasted a lot of money on Android tablets, hope this one lasts me for a while lol!

In portrait mode top left on about 4-5cm and top right side 2-3cm. Shop wouldn't replace it... It's true that in normal use you don't see it, only with dark movies. My Tab2 was as bad or worse but on the 10.1 screen it wasn't so bothersome.
If it bothers me I will try to send it in under warranty.

I dont know I'm living with it for now. Fact is that when you flex the tablet the whole screen goes black or white so probably there is something with how these tablets are built. Also if I press at the spot the light bleed disappears...

Welcome to the club! While I was very happy with mine out of the box I'm getting a lot of pleasure out of tweeking the performance and trying out different apps to take advantage of the stylus (in between playing a shed load of games that wouldnt run on my old tablet).
There is no need to open a new thread because you bought the tablet. Imagine everyone who buys Galaxy Note 8.0 to open a new thread.
Thread closed.
Dropping Sprint (have given them 3yrs to "fix" coverage in my area) and my Note 2. Going to T-Mobile and a Nexus 4. Anyone gone from a note 2 to a nexus 4?
I've went from a N4 to a note 2 and then back to my N4 . Both great devices the note is just to big
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I did the same as the guy above. I bought it about a month ago and really didn't like how AMOLED displayed whites. When comparing displays, I thought the nexus was much better.
Also, I didn't find the spen to be all that useful, although came in handy once or twice. The phones are pretty equal in terms of speed. Battery life is much better on the note, camera is much better on the note, and the display size didn't make it stand out IMO. They have the same resolution so it displayed the same amount of stuff.
I figured the note would be out dated around August when the note 3 comes out and the nexus will continue to be updated for a while.

Agree, for flashing hoolic like me, I prefer Nexxus 4 the awesome device ..
I just feel its so much more comfortable to use. I used the note 2 for a week straight to see if I could get used to it but it just didn't feel right . To me the only thing that's great on the note is the battery life.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I have nevered used a Note before but I'd like to try it. The batter battery life and camera are huge attractions to me. It's just the size that I feel will be too big for me as I have a Nexus 7 already.

Once you go Note, you can't go back. I miss the size of the Note 1's screen and still not used to the Nexus 4 (had it since Dec). The Note 2 basically fixes all the problems of the Note 1, but costs $700. I didn't want to spend that much so I "settled" for a Nexus 4. For the price, the Nexus 4 is worth it, but I would have bought a Note for the same price.
I have had both. I don't understand how someone can say the note 2 has a better camera.
Only pros of note 2 : better battery. S-pen , Case options . Bigger screen & features 'if' that is for you.
Other than that, that's it.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Nothing quite like some guy with an otterbox defender on a note 2, holding the phone to his ear. It's one of the most ridiculous things to witness. It's kinda like me holding my N7 to my face like I'm making a call. Hilarious.
I used Note 2 for six months and I loved it then sold it and got N4. I miss the Note 2's camera and big screen but N4 is much better looking phone with much professional built quality. I will keep N4 for a while.
I went from a note 1 to an n4 after 3 months. Just couldn't get used to the size of the note. The n4 works much better for me.

I use the n7 mainly for browsing the net and some minor games. The n7 is only two inches bigger, but it feels and look much bigger than that. I also have the ipad3, but it's getting a bit uncomfortable and heavy for my taste, so this 7" tablet is just the right size for me.

The "2 inch bigger" tablet have over 2X the screen size of the GS4 (N7 22.08 inch^2 vs GS4 10.68 in^2) , It provide substantially better content consumption(Video playback/Ebook +Comic Reading) experience and web broswing. I can even comfortably read/edit Word/Excel with Kingsoft Office on it.
Not to mention the Super Bright LCD screen (538nits, GS4's AMOLED can't dream to match) & Stereo speakers.
I have the s4 rooted and an considering getting the n7 as well. Quick question. I haven't found the answer yet but is the memory expandable?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4
I have a S4 and bought an Nexus 7 mainly because i want to read PDF and Word documents. S4's screen is to small to do this. But with 7 inch and FHD it is good enough to read letter/DIN A4 docs.Screen resolution does matter to me, so an Galaxy Note 8 or 10 was no real alternative. But I would have taken a Nexus 8 as well
I have both, definitely worth it for Web Surfing and video.

Please do not compare Galaxy S4 with nexus 7!! doesnt make any sense dude,,, i own both devices, think about, S4 is your mobile phone, so you are using for making calls, text, and web browsing! usually dont even last all day, need to get charge, where nexus 7 coming in and you using it for watching cheeky videos and playing games!
Thank you guys. Now I know what to do

I've got both too. At first I thought why do I need it S4 does most things well. But at this price I couldn't complain. Been using it since yesterday and barely touched my phone. The bigger screen is better for browsing and such. Playing games is better to with a bigger screen. Watching videos too. So far I like it.

I got mine today from Amazon uk and I must say that I am a bit disappointed from the screen. I watched many reviews and all of them were talking for one of the best displays out there. Well they probably haven't seen Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 super amoled + magic. I will post a video later on with both devices playing a trailer from imdb.

I couldn't agree with you more. The Galaxy tab was retailing at 700 us while the nexus a fraction of that. However the amoled display on my "old" Sammy tab 7.7 is out of this world. The black and the color reproduction are just stunning. I was used to that display and the gnex looks to me a bit washed out. Other than that is is really great.
Sent from my GT-I9505G using Tapatalk 2
I suppose he is talking about the colours?
They are a little bit washed out and the white is a bit yellow when compared to my nexus 4 that has francos gamma settings applied.
However, when gamma controls are ported to the Nexus 7 the screen will look great with some tweaking. :thumbup:
Guys you do realise this screen is one of the few ones actually calibrated in the factory at two different stages and that the colours are accurate. What you see in the unfortunate Samsung models etc is a screen just with ridiculously saturated unrealistic colours. You guys need to train your eyes to see real quality...
