Considering a Note 2 - Currently using the S3 LTE

Has anyone come from a S3 LTE?
The size puts me off, but I had a play around with one yesterday and absolutely loved it.
Please convince me! lol

Please dont buy it because once you go big you can't go back. I love mine and everything else feels so small.

Came from a S3 LTE...Loved the S3...LOVE the Note 2 more...lol. The speed, battery life, screen, all much better! The size at first was a little big, but after using it a bit when I pick up my S3 it seems so small. The note 2 is well worth the upgrade IMOP.

Having used S3 and now note 2 I would say n2 is a far better phone bar couple issues. Screen resolution and camera are better on s3 if you can live with that then go for it however I would recommend waiting for HTC's Butterfly DLX before you makeup your mind. If I had a choice and both butterfly and note 2 where available I would definitely go for butterfly, purely due to far superior design and specs

My now sold Galaxy S3 LTE had the best Amoled screen (in terms of color reproduction) I've ever seen. Absolutely no color cast! My Note 2 has the worst LCD in terms of color reproduction, it is completely yellow...

I see no difference in the camera whatsoever. I believe they are the same hardware, camera wise. As far as the screen, when I set my S3 beside my N2...N2 wins. The pentile of the S3 is just not as good...IMOP.

multi tasking (split screen), lets me watch videos and surf the net. Forget that popup video player. It blocks the screen and is more of an annoyance. split screen video watching and web surfing is definitely the real way to do it.
bigger screen. You get used to the size. The S3 starts feeling uncomfortably small in about a week. You want to be using the Note 2 when making that realization.
S Pen...AirView on webpages totally rocks.
S Note...ability to have a device to write on as soon as it is out of your pocket is a big deal.
Battery life...is as good as you can get for a smartphone.
You do have to get used to the size a little. It is uncomfortable in my jeans when walking up stairs and sitting, but it is a small price to pay for an amazing device.

What have you got bud? I'm after the grey one...PM me!

I also came from the LTE S3. Everything about this phone is better (screen, fluidity, speed, hardware, etc). Go for it if the size doesn't bother you. I love it.
I usually change phones every couple of months, but this may be the only phone I've ever owned that may hold me over until the next version releases.

Also came from the att s3 to the att note 2. You can't compare them. The note 2 smashes the s3 in every way. The screen is so much brighter. The loud speaker is at least twice as good. It's way faster. Everything on this phone is perfect except s note should open faster. I rate it 9.8/10

Actually the screen brightness is identical but it is much faster than a 1gb S3.
Loudspeaker is the best but the most important thing is that the Note 2 will last 8 hours of screen time with no problems!! That is just amazing!

Yeah easily 8 hours. Idk, the note 2 feels much brighter to me for sure.

My thoughts after using the Note II for 5 days.

I came from a GS3. So I've owned the Note 2 for for about 5 days and here's is how I feel: It is absolutely a BEAST. Gorgeous phone. HOWEVER, after holding my brothers S3, I feel like going back to the S3 because it seems SO small and ALL OF A SUDDEN I can touch all 4 corners of the screen! I swear I was not able to to that BEFORE I had tried the Note II. Now S3 feels like the perfect size phone. I feel terrible that I'm even thinking about getting rid of the Note II but the feel of the S3 in my hands now is just way too tempting. I previously had the pebble blue, but I'm thinking of buying the brown SGS3. Anybody else's thoughts on this? How do you feel after looking at S3 after trying Note 2? Do you feel your fingers have gotten longer?

I've had my Note 2 for 40 days now. The size is a minor annoyance compared to all the features gained over a S3. Split screen. AirView for web browsing. Just always having a device where I can take it out of my pocket and start writing is irreplaceable. Sure, you can take out a S3, unlock it, open a writing app, then start typing. But that's not like taking out the S Pen and writing just like you had a pad and paper. I think 9 out of 10 times I would just end up choosing to not write things down unless it was something really important. It is true the S3 does look small, but that is also the reason why I would prefer the Note 2. I don't want the smaller phone.

I came from note 1 to S3 then now on note 2, the new phone always impress me more than the previous one.
with a better screen, faster CPU and more juice on the battery, I don't think I would go back to S3

the note2 screen got me, but if s4 has 1080 display, i would go for it

The reviews of the N4 suggest the battery life isn't that great on it. Least with the S3 and Note you can change the battery.

I was going to get a Nexus 4, until I realised that it didn't really improve on any area of the Galaxy Nexus that really mattered to me (storage space, battery life, camera quality etc).
It was either the Note 2 or HTC One X+ for me, but with the Note I felt I could get rid of my N7 which I also hardly used to help fund the Note 2.
I do prefer Vanilla Android but I never had THAT much of a problem with TouchWiz on the S2.

There is no comparison. For me personally the next gen smartphone move logically is the Note 2 and all the other size factor phablets from other oems which come after it.
Lets face it. The battery life technology isnt growing at an exponential rate like the other hardware of the phone. Its just oure physics. Bigger battery longer battery life. Bigger thr phone, bigger the possibility of fitting a bigger battery.
Note II's INSANE battery life alone is a worthy upgrade over any snartphone experience right now. Plus the new non pentile 5.5inch 720p samoled screen is another big factor
For me like I said, "phablet" is the next logical step in the smartphone era

Im glad I read this thread now, I sold my SGS3 initially to buy a Nexus4 but then after the whole stuff around with googles release of it and then selling out in 22mins in Australia and then reading a few average reviews, I ordered a Note 2 instead. Can't wait till it arrives as I think ive made the best choice now :good:

You most definitely have.

As I tell everyone, if one handed use is important to you, then the Note is not the phone for you.

No I'm not going back to a smaller size anytime soon. However my son just yesterday got a SIII and after playing with it a bit I can honestly say that it's perfect for someone wanting a normal sized device.

this is why i have tyhe best of both worlds i actually own them bought and with the new s3 rom leak it's even better..i'm overwhelmed with the processing power of the responsiveness of the beasts

I've had it for a while now and all I can say is that I'd get the S3 if I hated the size. My partner has the S3 and loves it but envies my note 2. They're similar in function, but the larger screen is a must for me. As is the pen. So it's a no brainer for me. But i'm sure for others its a deal breaker. I personally love the note 2. Also, the 1gb ram in the international s3 sucks. I mean it's fine, but it has redraws and such, and multitasking isn't as fluid. My.02¢

Note -> s4 (my thoughts)

Hey everyone,
Just putting my thoughts out there.
I recently moved from the Note to the S4.
For 3 reasons:
1- LTE
2- Higher resolution screen
3- Latest Android version
Ill delve into each point.
1- LTE in the UAE is usually about 10 to 18 mpbs whereas HSPA topped out to 7mbps.
At worst LTE, it is still faster than HSPA.
2- I love high resolution and sharp images. I bought the Note because it had a huge screen with excellent resolution and PPI but the S4 beats it.
3- Funnily enough, I got the upgrade to Jellybean on my Note 5 days before I received my S4 LTE. And imediiately I noticed my device had become better in some areas (like smoothness of flow - project butter as they call it) but the menus and navigation within the device itself became laggy. So it was a double edged sword update. Fluidity was better but at the cost of general performance.
I have to say though. I'll still pick up my Note and look at its beautiful huge screen fondly and wish I could use it.
Sure the S4 is slimmer (than the Note and even the S3) and the screen is bigger than the S3 (but smaller than the Note). I know how they achieved this They did what Apple did. Instead of widening the screen, they simply elongated it.
Suffocation anyone? I feel claustrophobic using the Apple 5 and somewhat claustrophobic with the S4.
Sure the S4 is smoother (fluidity) but the device doesn't feel much faster than the Note (in terms of opening apps, switching to apps and so on).
Its nice but not nice enough to move from a Note to an S4 unless you got the funds. Otherwise wait for the Note 3.
For myself, I'll use the S4 till the Note 3 comes out, and if its on par or better, I'll get it and give the S4 to my 3 year old or to wifey or someone.
Therefore I have decided that I will probably get the Note 3 if it has the same performance (LTE + high resolution + high PPI) when it comes out.
Just my thoughts but damn I miss the Note screen size.

No they didn't, they actually made the screen larger, they slimmed the bezels.

I didn't understand what you mean

According to sammobile, the note 3 is gonna use the same design as the s4 including its features and plastic back. So its gonna be like the galaxy mega 6.3 with stylus and improved performance. So if any of you who can't afford a phone with the same or higher than the price of the s4, wait for the mega 5.8 or 6.3 in june/july and just get it. In terms of performance these phones can't handle it due to touchwiz crap. So if there is going to be cm support on any of the 2 phones then ill buy one of them. Here's a review of the Galaxy Mega 5.8 http://www.google.com.sg/url?sa=t&s...GconvWPvA807u9tZw&sig2=k8L14oRtMkOUJxtRiA3TeA and a review of the Galaxy Mega 6.3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-t2UWW_wx8

Galaxy Mega. This is it!

Thanks Juhan.
It all depends on functionality.
I was able to use the note I note II , but just barely.
Let's see how the note III works in the real life.

I meant this is GT-N7000 forum and stop talking about your S4 lol ! :good:

The gt-n7000 forum is pretty dead these days, but its fairly safe to say that those of us left are all waiting on the note 3.
Note 2 is a total joke with its downgraded resolution, s3 was a toy and the s4 while nice, is still not as good as an n7000.

Nowadays phones after the s3 seems to be more vulnerable to cracks and scratches.even though they have the latest gorilla glass. I was from the s3 and was dissapointed after it cracked even though it landed softly on a basketball court. Bought the note and and can't believe its still perfect even though I drop it more than twice with a heavy 5200mah battery. So now I'm also waiting for the note 3 and hopes that it has the 'unbreakable' screen

You are right for sure. My note has fallen on so many kind of surface so many times and its still going strong. Touch wood! It didn't scratch even with 5200mAh battery. I had thought the heavy battery would surely kill the note with a fall. But it didn't!

iv got the note 1 and i love it i also have the s4 and love that also but im waiting on the note 3 coz i know that will be amazing. once u pick up a note u cant use another phone because the screen is to small. i love big screens

That's exactly what I think!
Once you have a Note all other phones are "tiny".
And when you have big hands (like me) the Note is perfect for me!
And when I think about the Note 3 with full HD Display = WOW!

Same. Last time I thought my s3 was too big for my hands but after holding the note for more than a month and picking up my father's s3 I felt that it was really light. Then I hold my sister's s4 and it was effortless to hold. BTW sometimes I laugh when I see people playing games on that puny iPhone. There was once I saw 4 of my friends playing gravity guy on the iPhone. Then they tried the game on my note and it was more comfortable

[Q] Should I swap my Galaxy Note 2 for a Galaxy S4

I'm just curious as to if I should or not, I've gotten a mixed bag of comments at the moment and I'm not 100% sure if I should. The S4 itself is brand new and I've had my Note 2 for about 3 months now.

No,,,stivk to your note 2 and wait for note 3 which probably will be released in September...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

Yes. .swap it for s4... then sell s4... buy a new note 2 for cheap and make some money
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

It's kinda hard to suggest because I had a choice between the two. Coming from a s3 I knew that I wanted a bigger screen and the best stylus available.
The s4 has features that are incredible but soon the note 3 will be here and you will see nothing but note 3 talks and text all over the internet. There will be no more talking about the s4 since it will be outdated.
Having a note 2 now just prepares for the note 3 or maybe I wait for the note 4!.
Either way the bigger screen and pen are features I need over some special apps

Should? No. Would? Depends on your preference. What do you want? Why you wanna switch?
I'm selling my Note 2, and getting the S4 this week, the only reason is SIZE. I tried to get comfortable with the size, tried my best, nah, it is not within my limit, so I gotta sell it, as my limitation is within ~ 5 inches.
But if you're comfortable with the size then I see no point in getting the S4 over N2. Extra CPU core and all that sh!t are for kids. Unless Android changes its interpreter from JVM to elsewhere the ecosystem will be same, that is laggy, doesn't matter how many cores are backing it up, or of what architecture.
And no need to mention you'll miss the beautiful and handful features of S Pen, a big screen and last but not the least a beefy battery backup.
Now think and do what's needful.

Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

I got an S4 as a free upgrade from EE in the UK, but within less than a month I was back to the Note 2. The main thing I missed was the battery life, it really wasn't great on the S4. The screen was beautiful, and I personally loved the temperature and humidity sensor, plus the IR blaster, but I reckon they'll be on the Note 3 whenever it appears as well. The S4 also got too hot all the time, and it was much, much slower to take pictures that didn't look much better than the Note's, and just in general felt slower and laggier when just trying to get stuff done. Sure, for CPU intensive tasks it smoked the Note, but for 95% of daily stuff it simply feels slower, probably as a result of having so many more pixels to push.

Switch Note for S4, sell S4, stick a bit with an old phone and buy the N3 for + 50-100$

I can relate totally to your experience. I've got both phones at the moment and I never leave home with the s4. I'll probably sell it shortly. The s4 gets hot all the time, sometimes I could feel it burning a hole in my pocket and I'm sure this is related to the relatively poor battery life. S4 I must charge every evening, note 2 will last well into the next day.
Besides that the s4 feels slightly slower. It shouldn't but I think Samsung have just crammed too much bloat into the phone this time around. Sure it's faster on paper but you just won't notice any difference in normal usage.
The camera takes better photos in certain conditions but it's mostly due to the software not the 13mp. Even then the software now takes longer to process the image so there is a definite trade off.
S4 screen looks sightly nicer but the difference is minimal and the Note 2 is still much easier to do stuff with because the screen is physically larger.

I like s4 its compact & thin bezel

[Q] Suggest me which one to buy? S5 vs M8 vs Z2

i am really confused which one to buy. as i am from note 3, it is normal for me to go for s5. but i got some negative comment about s5. phone bezel is wide, front camera is 2mp when others are going for 5mp front(like oppo find 7a and htc one m8). but still i have a weak spot for samsung. so please suggest me honestly. i will see this post everday. In Shaa Allah this monday i will buy anyone based upon your suggestion.
s5 white is 2039rm where s5 black is 2080rm
htc one m8 is 2199 rm
z2 is 2499rm(why so expensive la?)
i previously used many set. if you need to do anything with that here is a short list of them for past 2 years(s2, s3, s4, note 2, note 3, xperia z, htc one x, nokia lumia 920, lenevo a880, lenevo s930, iphone 4s, 5 etc, cant remember all).

Agree completely.
There will be better flagships in about a month or so.

Ive not had this problem. It gets a little warm when using full brightness whilst on charge.

If you from note3, better enjoy your phone at the moment. Wait for the note 4

Doesn't bother me cause I'm so cool
JK, but yeah, like total music, only when charging for me, I think. Not even sure if it heats up all the time or sometimes cause I don't touch my phone when it's charging.

Definitely wait for the LG G3 :fingers-crossed:

The phone has heating problem. When i download from play store, it become so hot in the camera area. Other function cool. When i look from the 170 degree, suddenly there is a greenish color shift. I think may be factory default screen protector. Also color rendering is not accurate. As i used iphone and lenevo. I saw almost same color rendering on those two ips display. Which i think is accurate. But in s5 the color is totally different of that thing. I think may be cause of adapt display. The display a bit yellowish. I think cause of the factory defailt screen protector.

With Cinema display setting it's quite good. Much better than Standard if you like accuracy rather than oversaturation.

Mine G900F has a heating problem when used actively for updates and downloads probably is something related to the CPU usage. But in normal day to day usage is with good working temperatures. However I would check other phones as well and if I owned a Note 3 I wouldn`t change it as the Note 3 is amazing phone i even think it`s better then the S5 or very close.

Hmmm..ecery device has its cons. S5 is no difference. But we can live with that.
