If only I could understand a word he speaks

Is that stock note? Filled with bloatware and useless stuff that makes it so slow?

note for the win

I was really considering the One X before i watch this video (even though I don't have a clue what he is saying ) but after seeing this it's like there is a HUGE difference in screen size!!
I was thinking 0.6 wouldn't be that much to lose but it seems it is, damn you Note

Yeah I thought exactly the same but screen size on ONE X seems a lot smaller and I think we are all doomed to wait for Galaxy Note II or so!!!

I still say this phone is going to have major battery complaints.

Can you do the vid in english? Thank you.

My Note does everything I want to do, so I'm sticking with it. I buy for usabilty rather than specifications. I'd not be happy ●downgrading● to a smaller screen. Lol.

Galaxy note i think still the best phone out there , it needs a beast to beat that phone

I'm going to get One X when it is on sale in the UK and sell my Note. As much as I enjoy using the Note the last 5 months and still think the Note's screen and expendable memory is great benefit compared to the One X. I'm mainly changing for the 4.0 software shipped with HTC. Had Samsung kept their promise of ICS update by end of April, I'd be happy with keep on using Note, but I'm starting to get sick with general slowness of Gingerbread.

The pic alone should be sufficient to see how this comparison does not make any sense as all the others comparing the Note with "the rest"...
The Note is THE SOLE AND ONLY ACTUALLY USABLE SMARTPHONE TODAY, the One X is just one of the other countless, useless stupidphones I am no more interested in.

Most concerning part of htc one x is battery.
Does 1800 mAh battery will enough for 4.7inch device?
Note have 2500 mAh
One more thing i suspect is GPS, note have dual support gps + glonass, n thats y mote having marvelous gps fix, hardly i do have read complain about this, i think one x don't have glonass.
No memory card slot also annoying part for one x.
Some positive thing is powerful processor, n preinstalled ICS for htc x.
Overall i do stick with note only, if i explain just one reason, can't compromise screen size anymore.

He basically put down some specs and display comparison. He has that the one x, has that outsticking camera is a minus for the phone since it more likely gonna scratch. He also said that the screen viewing angle is almost edge on edge but NOTE is slightly better. Both are fast phones. Also his conclusion is the HTC one x is a great phone smaller better pocketable but the Note is still the slightly better all around phone. But the size can be a issue with some. And I didn't translate it word for word just a short version.
Samsung Note

Ketan words made me remember some wise words:
Someone said: "Size don't matter".
Well, either this person had a small penis or didn't had a galaxy note.

I'm going to ask my Austrian friend to watch and translate the video.

Yeah, that's almost right - sorry, i do not own the phone, that was a hands-on with pre-series and i cannot make another english version.

Big update in the first post
i put some other comparison pics in the first post, also another video (but that one is more focused on the one x, only a short note comparison)

Or maybe both xD

Both great, comes down to wether people want 4.8 inch or 5.5 inch. Either way it's a win.

note 2 because of the extra gig ram,everything else is equal (0k screen's bigger). By the time Note 2 is available we'll have JB on SG3. Hopefully.

I really like the note 2. I have the first note and I love it. But the one thing the note has over the s3 is the extra ram. I find it annoying when android automatically closes down apps when I'm trying to multitask.
I don't know which to get now. I'm so confused! My partner is getting the s3 tomorrow from Amazon. I'm going to steal it and play with it hehe.

My preference goes to the S3 as well. Note is just to big for me, S3 is already pushing the limit.

I love the Note, it's the perfect size for me, I love phones with huge screens I just wish it was more rounded for a more comfortable feel when holding it.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using XDA Premium

The only thing i don't like is that it's too big and the ppi drops dramatically...
But i do love the quad+2gb ram...
Anyway..i still prefer the s3...

I think the S3's the limit of what a useable phone can be because the Note's more of a 2 handed job and if like me you always blindly walking around looking down at phone crashing into everything the Note wouldn't last a day in my hands.

I'm gonna sell my "new" iPad and get the note 2, made up my mind!

If you love the Note there is no question you should get the Note 2 rather than the S3. None whatsoever.
I have two S3s, one white international one and one red AT&T one, and as one of the staunchest protagonists for the original Note I will definitely be getting the Note 2 (I wrote the best review on the internet for the original Note - here: http://www.androidnz.net/2011/12/samsung-galaxy-note-complete-review.html - a 16k word love story).
The 2GB of RAM in the US S3 makes a really big difference in terms of never, ever having launcher re-draws or RAM shortage problems. The Note 2 is basically an S3 with it's largest deficiency fixed and a mahoosive screen and battery. If you like mahoosive screens and can handle the size you shouldn't even look sideways at anything else.

If im correct..
The Note 2 has 2GB of ram, Quad-Core Exynos processor, and it has HSPA+ & LTE radio bands built in..
If so.. i wouldn't mind buying the international version if it works on AT&T LTE Network.. hell 5.5inch is big but.. thats why we have bluetooths

I'd get an S3 because basically, it's a bigger screen with the same resolution, and a waaay lower ppi.. I won't really favor 0.8~ on 70~ ppi difference.
The only benefit i can see is the 2GB of RAM.. well we currently don't need it, but meh we will in two / three years, and i change phones every two years so not a problem to me.
Note to people moaning about redraws: they're software related, and they're fixed, you can open 25~ apps actively now on the international version, i don't see myself using more .. unless you love numbers on paper.
Both phones have the SAME CPU/GPU, slightly overclocked (which i can do here, tada!)
In the other hand the camera pixel count is the same, and that's good, people think that getting more megapixels means pictures are better, wrong.
You'll get more noise and blurriness and all kinds of **** now, unless they put in larger sensors.
And for gods sake, it's jellybean not beam.
So to sum it up, not going to get a note 2 for now, maybe when the note 3 / galaxy s4 comes out next year.

the new gallery app looks good in note 2, hope samsung delivers the same gallery for us along with jb! but im afraid we havent seen any glimpse of the new gallery in any leaks yet

It is much more balance fill with a 2gb in a quad core device.but,I think when s4 pro in the market. It certainly beat exynos in pieces
S3 and note 2 is losing leader board too way faster then it's brother!
But, I love note 2 more!

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.

Why is sammy dropping the FM radio ?

Can we merge all the rumor threads? They're all equally as reliable as a politician telling the truth.

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

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.

Who thinks that the Galaxy S5 is a disappointment?

I already saw the leaked images and feel that the S5 is a taller version of the S4 with ribbed back. And same cheap plastic. No go for me. I think LG or HTC will be winning?
Anyone else disappointed in what the S5 will be?

I think a lot of us are but let see what Samsung does. They are starting the announcement now. We'll have a better opinion afterwards.
Sent from my LG-D950 using Tapatalk

The galaxy s1, 2, and 4 all seemed to be big leaps from the prior generation to me. The s3 at the least inherited a whole new design language. I love Sammy but the s5 seems to be a huuuuuge let down. It's not really their fault, most processor, screen, and camera improvements in the last year have been modest. But a let down nonetheless
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

I'm not at all impressed with the design of it. I expected something new with it. To me, this does not feel new. The whole Galaxy Gear and Fit stuff, don't care too much about either.
Now let's go with what I am impressed with. Just from seeing the UI, and hearing it's not packed full of useless S branded crap is a huge plus to me. The fingerprint scanner is pretty nice too.
I know people aren't too keen on Knox, but I'm hoping Samsung did improve on Knox for the corporate sector. The school district I manage the cell phone service for has upgrades coming in a month or two for 90% of the lines, and depending how Knox's security is, this is going to be a deciding factor in the new mobile purchases.

Maybe the version that leaked isn't the premium version. I will pass judgement once the device is officially announced.

I don't like the increases in size and weight, considering it only gets a 0.1" larger screen. The bezels look larger than the S4. Keeping the RAM at 2GB and 16-32GB storage (and, if the past is any indication, 16GB will be the only one readily available) for the 3rd straight generation, while the Note has increased to 3GB/32GB minimum, indicates that this is no longer their flagship phone. I had an S2, skipped the S3, now have an S4, and will skip the S5. Smallest increase in overall specs in the 'S' series yet. Water resistance is nice, but not that big a deal to me. USB3 is a nice upgrade, but that's the only thing that really jumps out at me. Camera is better, but I don't use a camera that much anyways, so doesn't matter to me. VERY happy they are continuing the use of SD cards & removable batteries, though. If I lost my S4 it would be a toss-up for me between the S5 & Note3.

no FM radio
Lack of FM radio is a disappointment. Still prefere phones with good old fashion radio receiver.

i expected more bang, but i guess jumping from my s2 to an s5 is indeed a huge gain!

The design is just...terrible.

I'm glad I purchased a Note 3. The GS5 looks too big to not be in the Note family.

Same RAM, lower perceived screen resolution, same design, really weird UI redesign. Not impressed. Should have been called GS4+
As for the next HTC phone, I have a feeling it will be a disappointment as well.

3 phones I'm interested in, the Z2 (never owned a Sony phone, it may be time), the G3 and iPhone 6. The S5 is a good phone but it just improved the S4. It's a marriage between the S4 and S4 active in what the S4 should have been in the first place. I think if I say S4 once more I'm gonna puke....
Sent from my LG-D950 using Tapatalk

It look like a plan B device. Plan A failed for some reason!!
These specs are unacceptable

Everyone was hyping it to be the next best thing. Even a Samsung exec said that they understood how they failed to innovate with the S4. I even expected it to have the 2k resolution screen and camera with OIS since LG was able to do it a few months ago. Samsung sure made the people who bought the Note 3 feel good about their purchases.

Planning to upgrade to Note 4? Here's my experience after 3 weeks.

I've been user of the first generation of Galaxy Note franchise: the Galaxy Note GT-N7000, since 3 years. The phone that back in 2011 was ridiculously big and most of the people said that nobody would use a phone bigger than a 4.5 inch device. The phone that started a new era that now any brand has his own phablet (Xperia ZL, LG G3, HTC One Max, Nokia Lumia 1320 etc). After three years, I've decided to go for the next big phablet, the Note 4.
This is not a review. My english is not so good to elaborate a proper review of every feature of this phone. You can see amazing reviews at Engadget, Android Police, Youtube or even here in XDA)

If you thought that your N7000 was reeeeaally big, then get prepared for the Note 4. It's taller than his grandfather, but also is less wide so it's nice in hands.
The N7000 is 78,6 x 153,5 mm while the N910C is 82,95 x 146,85 mm. The weight is almost the same, just 4 grams less than the Note 1.
Build Quality:
I think this is the most important difference between both phones. We all know that Samsung ditched polycarbonate in favor to metal. The ORIGINAL (later I will explain why I call it original) Note 4 comes with a brand new metallic frame with chamfered edges and a soft matte strip with the same color of the phone (cold white, pearl black, pink). Personally I don't know why they're still using polished metal for phones, did they not learn the lesson with the iPod touch? The HTC One? The iPhone 4, 5, 5S? Two days after using my Note 4, I saw a lot of scratches on on them, and after a week, it started to oxydize due to hands sweat. I was so angry that I've took metal polisher and started to polish it. The scratches disappeared, but then I polished the matte white strip.. HOLY DIFFERENCE! The phone now have a glossy finish and, due to this, a better grip. Take a look:
Screen
I never saw a better screen than the one in my N7000, until now. The Note 4 comes with a incredibly sharp 2K Amoled screen clocked at 60Hz. It's fast and inmerssive, and the best? There's no input lag. View angles are nice in both phones, the colors are morea accurate, the brightness is nice at direct sunlight and in dark enviorments.
Battery and OS:
I never thought that a phone could run out of battery after 2 days of heavy use. AMAZING BATTERY USAGE. My Note 1 can't stay turned on more than 6 hours. Also, Ultra Power Saving mode does his job pretty well. About the OS, it comes with Kitkat 4.4.4. If you're using AryaMod in the GT-N7000 and switch to the Note 4, you will not notice too much difference. And that's due to Samsung's Touchwiz. Belive or not, Touchwiz is getting better. Almost lag free and very, VERY smooth than before. The only lag issue I found is trying to open the recent apps menu for first time, but that's something that Lollipop claims to fix so I'm not too worried.
So that's it. Belive me, the 700USD that this phone costs are totally worth. If you can afford it, go and get one. You will never regret. Thanks to everyone in this community, it's time to turn off my N7000, pull out the battery and save it in my desktop's drawer. Good luck!

Good luck with your new Phablet buddy.
Cheers!

No more good thing for N7000!To bed!!!

Thank you.
I am with a N7000 as well (bought at launch, and still in perfect condition!) but was thinking of upgrading to the Note4 because the Note1 is getting too slow even with custom roms.
As soon as the Note4 drops under 500€ I'll get one!

M also dying for note 4, but waiting for a good price drop. My note 1 also lags like hell even on custom roms.

Nice thread. Enjoy your phone

@galaxynote2 : could you please share the weather widget of your N7000 ?

Got it a few days ago. The upgrade from 1 to 4 was impressive, especially on the pen.
[email protected] BOC5 stock, for now.

I have the note 1 and I would like to buy the note 4 but I'd like to know if the 720p videos look pixelated in the note 4 because most of my music videos are in 720p and they look superb in the note 1, but the 480p videos look pixelated, i believe that because of the high resolution of the galaxy note 4 ( 1440 x 2560 pixels "2K") my 720p videos will look pixelated .

I upgraded from the Note 1 to Note 4 a few months back and yes it was quite stunning right from the beginning with that unlock animation which shows off the amazing screen. I knew I had made the right choice when I took my first photo outdoors and compared it with the Note 1; of course the latter was no match either in terms of the photo itself or the screen to watch it on. The Note 1 was amazing back in the day and we should be glad how much progress was made in just three years. I rather suspect that this will slow down and and I doubt the gap between the Note 7 and Note 4 will be nearly as large.

TouchWiz is crappy, you can not look [emoji16]
