Unofficial Pic of Note 3 - Galaxy Note II General

Here you go

Looks fake tbh.

Everything is fine but the increase in overall size is a kill. The Note 2 is as big as it should get. I hope this isn't how the end design will look like, they should just increase screen size and decrease bezel like the S3-S4.

I smell bs all over that photo. Take a close look. The screen starts several centimetres above the home button. You could probably fit another 1-2 home buttons into the gap it's that huge. Also the bezel is the same size as the current phone, we already know from the s4 that they can shrink this now, so why haven't they unless this is a bs photo of a Chinese clone? Same deal with the telephone earpiece, makes no sense why they wouldn't put it near the edge of the phone to maximise the amount of real estate available for the screen. It's almost in the middle of the upper bezel area.
I'd wager money that we are looking not only at a Chinese clone, but a poorly done one at that. Brilliant way to get some more hits if your website sucks though.

False. Samsung would be smart enough to not leave an open space between the home button and screen which may have more potential to put something more to it.

That is really a fake pic at the most

How you feel about Galaxy Note's size

Hi, I got my Note today and it feels very big in my hands, I'm coming from T-Mobile GS2.
Did you guys get conferable after a while with the size?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I have pretty large hands, and the note feels perfect in them. Everything else just feels too small now.

I love it, and the size is perfect. It fits my shirt and pant pockets. The only issue is that my thumb doesn't quite reach the other side of the screen at times... gets sore haha.
Yes! Stick with it. I also have a skyrocket which is the same size as your phone. The more you use the GNote, the more you will get used to its size. Give it a few weeks. Everything else else will feel small after that time!
Came from HTC HD2 4.3"
Love this 5.3" Galaxy Note.
Comfortable with it and real good as a phone & mini Tablet.
Its feel GOOOOOODDDDDDD!!!!!!!

My hands are probably smaller than average and so it felt a bit big in my hands at first. Within a few days I'd gotten totally used to it, and holding my HD2 then felt very strange!
Pockets were fine from day one.
Hang in there and it'll be fine
Surprisingly comfortable using the big sized note. I think the size has been exagerated a little

This screen eats all the screens. I got the Galaxy nexus last week and I didn't like it. The screen was yellow and narrow. So I sold it.
This NOTE has the best screen period! For now.

This is one of the nicest pentile displays. I miss the clean LCD looks of the SAMOLED+ display, but the viewing angle of the Note display is amazing! I was afraid it would get greenish or purple at extreme angles.
Overall, this is a great balance between phone and tablet. I intend to turn this thing into a little computer.
Eagerly waiting for CM7 or CM9.

In what way does the phone feel unusual/bad in your hands as a cellphone?
Dialing numbers? Just curious.
I got used to the size almost immediately - but then again, I'm not really a one handed phone user. If you are, the new 'one handed dialpad/keyboard' in the recent firmwares might be useful.

it didn't feel weird when i first bought it (2 weeks ago) but it was different. now everything else feels smaller, i own an ipod so after using my phone and then when i go to my ipod to play games it feels super small. only sad thing about the phone is the keyboard is f'ing annoying, i tried tumblring on my phone and like a million mistakes whereas my ipod doesn't make such mistakes but the screen is too small to post long posts so i finally changed the keyboard to smart keyboard which i think is the best
Any still using original Samsung keyboard????
Like the rest here, everything else feels small after using the Note! With it's HD screen and slim design, it blows everything away.
It's a lot easier than carrying an iPad around everywhere.
People say to me its massive, I honestly don't notice anymore. Its perfect. You soon forget.. I do remember the first time I held it. I thought omg!! Huge! Lol..

I read someone else say that when you get used to the size that you can't do without it. He was right. The phone is huge. After a couple of weeks its no big deal. But the advantages of the big screen becomes normal and you couldn't do without it.
So give it a couple of weeks and see how you go. If its no good then maybe the soon to be released 4.6" Sony Xperia Ion with narrower 16:9 screen will suit better. Or Galaxy Nexus if you can live without SDHC expansion.

I remember when I upgraded my HTC Desire S to SGSII that it fell so big and I had a hand ache for a week. The same happened with Note - it takes week to get used to it but after that (as for others), everything else looks small and Note seems like normal phone to me.
But there's one thing - gel transparent S cover (mine is red). I had it on my SGS2 ans I bought it for note also, because those phone are so thick and light and yet so Smith, that it feels uncomfortable to hold them - I always feel that they sooner or later slip and fall from my hand.
The S cover has rough sides, so it feels better and it prevent the phone from sliding on the table also. Another thing is, that it has little edges over the display (it's 1mm thicker thanbthe phone, so if you put your phone on the table display down, it sits on the rubber edge ans not the display itself.
Try it for yourself

One hand operability

Just to quell any concerns of soon-to-be owners: It can be done. It can be used with one hand. I'm not a giant (about 6'1", slightly above average) and I'm coming from a 4S, so I'm not used to huge phones. You literally just have to grab it differently than you would a tiny phone.
I don't understand why all reviewers grab this phone like a murder weapon, and grip the crap out of it - and then try to use their thumbs to grab the adjacent corner of the screen. Wtf? Of course that's not gonna work. I can reach the top corner, but I splay my fingers across the bottom of the phone for better control. I'm sure the people who really love this phone and use it as their daily drivers figured that out within the first day and are happy as can be.
Long live the big screen.
I agree, in the beginning I found that it was a bit difficult to handle even with my large hands but as soon as I got used to holding it "like I'm supposed to", which took me like ten minutes, using it with one hand has been a breeze!
Now it feels weird to hold smaller phones, I tend to try to clench them with just my palm.
Hahaha that's exactly what I was doing earlier. They do start to feel like tiny toys

But the thing is with smaller phone I can grip the other side with the 4 other fingers, while with my Note if I want to comfortably use it with one hand, my other 4 fingers can only slightly grab the back of the phone to allow my thumb to move comfortably (that is can reach the other side of the screen with my thumb), and I'm scared of dropping Note holding it like that

I have smallish hands but I can easily operate it with 1 hand but the 'safety level' of operating the device with my small hands is close to 0. Soon after I switched to land scape mode with the use of ADW EX and use the phone almost exclusively in landscape mode but with 2 hands mostly.
I don't really need it but people with one hand issues should try button saviour on market.
Sent from my Galaxy Note using xda premium
Haha yeah I know what you mean, I would say my safety level drops quite a bit. Walking around outside and holding it like that for a prolonged time wouldn't be the smartest thing to do..
And I don't know if it matters, but I bought the white one and what was supposed to be a glossy, slippery back actually provides a good amount of friction (for whatever reason) when I hold it.
I just bought the zagg shields for this, to hopefully add to that friction and not take away from it. I'd hate to put this in a case and have it be even fatter :/
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
Oh yeah, and in landscape, you can pretty much only hold it. That definitely requires two hands for input
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
Agreed, had it for a week now. All my typical things I use to do: one hand, in pocket, holding on to other things and phone, watching yottube in bed while falling asleep, music listening while doing other things so loose and simple touches - all work fine -- many better. There is something amazing that the larger screen ( see more, more is big, less zooming in and out) along with the real estate for interacting that this phone gives you - that is a game changer. Also the voice input tools are huge ( vlingo and gvoice) , work great with this build and dual processor -- so I am doing much more with voice ( most of my email writing , commands to get stuff or do stuff). And of course the best is the spen - its precision and accuracy are so MUCH better than touch. Touch is great for fast and casual, but sometimes you are sitting ont he couch or desk or standing leaning against a wall where you plan to do over a minute of browsing, scheduling, email answering - I find the pen rocks a these times. In fact see this page on xda, look at the smallest icons you want to hit ( next page, ...) I do not have to zoom for any of them, I can hit the all (like 1 pixel accuracy with the spen) - saves me huge wasted zooms and moves and misses. Love this phone - again it is a gamer changer.
I didn't have a problem using the Note with only one hand. But the problem is that if you're walking then it might drops easily. Si I found a great compromise, I bought a silicone cover which adds more grip. And it saved me once after I dropped my Note being on my bike. The Note didn't get any damage whatsoever.

Like some others, it's more about adjusting your grip and supporting rather than strangling the phone! It is a little tricky to text while walking etc but it's do-able.
I've actually started finding other phones with their tiny screens and keyboards difficult to use! ;-)

You are very close! It is actually a well documented psyco-medical condition called "notusus envititis". Medical scientists are currently working furiously for a lasting solution. I doubt if they will succeed before a bigger screened device appears on the scene.
Q - Whats better than a Gnote?
A- Two Gnotes
I'm feeling it too, especially when I see girls with Note in the street and transport. It seems a lot bigger than mine...
The same thing happens when I look at 27" monitors at a store compared to mine at home haha

I've got XL hands, so when I see girls/guys-with-girly-hands use it... I'm like man that's humongous. Mine never looks large, but it feels large with the TPU case on which I only have for the kickstand.
If Samsung shaved the bezels, made it thinner and added a kickstand... I'd be right at home. And if they trimmed it down a 0.1 inch, then I could do acrobatics on one hand ; )

Lol no you're not alone. I had the same feeling on the tube home last night. I own the Note in white and a commuter opposite me had the Note in black. His looked bigger when I looked at my own but then realised duh same device haha

What else could you want that the note 3 doesn't already have?

I like most of you on this forum change phones like shoes. 5 phones in the past 2 years. There has always been something missing though.
Good phone, but no LTE,
Good phone but the screen isn't that sharp
Good phone but the camera is crap
but, but, but
I think the note 3 is the first phone that has no "buts". Big HD screen, overpowered guts, passable camera, plenty of storage. I really can't imagine what they are going to put into the next super phone that is going to get me to reach for my credit card.
They could make it higher res I guess. Or ad a incrementally faster processor. Maybe sharpen up the camera, a bit. I don't know none of those things move me. When I got my note 2, a few months ago it was already pretty much the perfect phone. The only missing puzzle pieces where the screen, and camera. Now the note 3 has fixed that.
What will it take to get you to move to the note 4, or whatever the new hotness is. What else can they cram in there? Or has the super phone cold war finally run it's course? I can't see how you can improve anything much more without getting into diminishing returns.
I think I might have found a keeper

What is wrong with wanting an FM Radio?
Here in the UK FM Radio should be mandatory on all phones - We have a great selection of stations to choose from.
RGB display and higher PPI, smart move for samsung to go minimum 32gb internal with the ammount of apps on playstore and growing size of apks and extra data that comes with them.

Got any suggestions for a case with a kickstand? I know of the Seidio Active and that's about it.I was also contemplating getting a Spigen GLAS.tR SLIM which might cause a problem with the fit of a non Spigen case.
I think front facing speakers would have been doable if the samsung branding and physical home button (and a capacitive button was used instead) were left out
So
FM radio
Optical stabilization
Bigger zoom
Stereo speakers
Flexible Screen
Kickstand
All of those would be nice. Question is would any of those things justify another $300-600 from you though?

My Note 3 "review" coming from a Note 2...

I have the Note 2 (international N7100) and the AT&T Note 3...
I can say that if you don't have an upgrade available it definitely IS NOT worth paying full retail price for the phone to go from a Note 2 to a Note 3.
I signed a new 2 year agreement to get it for $288.88 and I can turn around and sell my Note 2 for $350-400, easily making my money back...
The pros with the Note 3 are that the screen is absolutely beautiful! Besides the S4 this is the most amazing screen I have ever seen with my own eyes. Next, comes the software. There's a lot of new small changes that make things easier to use, however most of these things will be coming to a Note 2 via an update. If you're into aesthetics then this device looks more "premium" over a Note 2 and I almost don't want to cover it with a case.
As far as performance goes, you can notice it slightly. Apps open slighty faster, but it is nothing drastic. TouchWiz eats up over 1 gig of ram leaving a little more than 1 gig free for user apps. On my note 2 with my custom rom I would use about 600mb of ram leaving a little more than 1 gig free also. Not really any improvements here.
Some buggy things I've noticed so far are that my text vibration is very weak compared to others such as gmail. Also every app gives me a vibration alert even if I turned it off. Probably just app issues with 4.3.
There's a lot of bloat on here even for a carrier phone. Most of it is from Samsung it seems and can not be disabled or removed.
Besides the few "pros" I see with the Note 3, I would not recommend anyone to purchase it over a Note 2 unless you have an upgrade you can use. Especially an AT&T one with a locked bootloader, which forces you to keep all these useless apps running on your phone. However if you are coming from another device such as the S3, or any earlier phones it is a huge upgrade. I don't know if I would go from an S4 to the Note 3 though unless you just wanted a bigger screen and more battery life. They're basically the same phone just without the S-Pen.
I went from the S4 to the note 3. I think 4.3 is just the big difference to me.

Had an upgrade and Sam's Club and Walmart are selling it for that price.
Interesting.
I also upgraded from the n7100 (Note 1 before that) which I've had since it's release, but I feel the Note 3 to be a pretty decent improvement all the way around, enough to be worth the expense. That's just me though. My only complaint is the amount of bloat (a fair amount of which can be disabled thankfully), but knock on wood we'll have root at some point...though to be honest, I'd still like it even if that fails to appear.
Came from an S4 also which was my first Android phone. That thing ran warm and battery drained quickly but not in a problematic way.
Really like the Note 3 just wish there wasn't a tiny gap between bezel and glass around the top near the earpiece. I'm nit picking now. ...

I'm coming from an S4 to the Note 3 and I can definitely notice the differences other than the screen.
The N3 has 3GB ram whereas the S4 has 2GB. I've had 16 applications open (Gmail, E-mail, Chrome with 3 windows, a few games, etc) on the N3 and was able to switch between them with no lag whatsoever. The N3 dwarfs the S4 side-by-side yet only weighs about an ounce more (each with a case). The S-Pen is a lot more useful than I thought, I've used it to jot down notes, writing to text, written mms, captions, and just seems to make navigation on desktop-size webpages much easier. The S-Pen also works in most of the games I've play, which allows for more precise movements/selections.
The battery life on the S4 was good, and I averaged around 4 hours of screen time. My N3 is at 7% right now with 7 hours and 17 minutes of screen time (auto brightness on both). I don't find one-handed operation difficult, even without using the special features to resize windows. I have a lot of cases for my S4, and as soon as I can verify AT&T gave me the proper unlock code, hope to get over $400 for it. I've enjoyed the Galaxy series of phones, but I have to admit the N3 is the most enjoyable phone I've had since I first discovered Android years ago.
I tend to switch phones within a year, and I have the luxury of having 2 lines in which I swap upgrades, but the N3 is the first phone that I can see myself keeping longer than a year. The Note series is definitely love at first sight.
Note 8.0
I have Note 3, I like its all features. Now I just seen review about Galaxy note 8.0 in LuLu Good Life website,it is so awesome.

My Note 2 had a gap that you could push on the bezel and feel it moving, on my Note 3 I certainly don't see or feel that.

It's certainly extraordinarily minor in comparison. I can't feel it with my nail but can see it at an angle. It may actually be a bit of transparent epoxy just the length of the receiver speaker (the rest being black).
I think manufacturers.call them within tolerance levels.
