Do i have the right to miss my Note1 ?

First article for me and plz mind my english
First of all i bought Gn2 every thing about it is great
The main problem for me is the screen dimensions its narrrow to use it in horizantal position (Landscape view) there is less screen rows in the screen which is not comfortable (for me) .
I believe the main idea of a phablet is to be a phone and feel like tablet but the width of this screen bother me while reading and i love reading in my GN1 some ppl mention its goofy look coz but it practical.
Gn2 is out of phablet zone it look like normal phone
Cheers
Note: all what i say is personal thoughts

Everybody is entitled to his/hers opinion mate
I think Sammy changed the dimensions and looks to attract more potential buyers. They are creating a new line that started with the S3 and will be used on all coming new devices. I personaly like it as improves usability, the Note 1 (wich i also had) felt a lot bigger in my hands han the Note 2 does.
So for me overall i like the new design :good:

This was a problem for me as well, especially when using the browser. I set it to fullscreen with quick controls so that it uses the entire screen estate to display the webpage. It's pretty much fine for me, now.
The 16:9 ratio is magnificent for videos, though

I had the same feelings towards this, but after using the phone, with it's speed and extra functions, it's now just a minor niggle, as the pros out weigh the cons.

I agree, the note 1 was a great device but its width made it look weird sometimes and was not as pocketable as the note 2. I personally prefer the new design and form factor much better than the note 1, I don't feel weird when I take it out in public

i agree 100% with u guys...

I feel the same. I like 16:10 ratio better. Thw new narrower screen makes me hesitant to upgrade.

I gave my Note 1 to ny sister and when I compare it to my Note 2, the reduced width definitely makes the phone feel better in hands.

I have my Note 2 (grey) since 5 days and really love it. I agree that the extra width made the Note 1 somehow special. Thats why we called it a phablet. The Note 2 is "just" a big smartphone. But I never used the Note 1 in landscape except for watching videos, so I do not really miss the missing 80 pixels. On the other hand, small letters are much better readable on the Note 2, so I could just zoom out a little more and see as much on the Note 2 as I could on the Note 1.
The pros of the Note 2 overweigh the cons and I hope that Samsung does not switch to pentile again for the Note 3.

I had exact same feeling as you when u first got my note 2....I thought the dimension made the screen looked smaller than the note 1...but I'm used to it now...plus, the brightness and colour on note 2 is much better than note 1 make up for the different dimension...oh..also...note 2s new dimension is so much easier to hold hands

The feeling of a Compromise is always there when first Switching from the original to the Note II.The reason that We went to the the Note and not to another device in the first place was because of its sheer size.
But the advantages of the Note II over the old Note are so overwhelming that marginaly narrower profile turns out to be an advantage in itself.

Mmmh, talking about screen ratio makes me thinking about some game compatibility.
Indeed, I have been highly frustrated that some games (I bought with my GS1) are not compatible with the galaxy note 1.
I was thinking it was because of the screen size, but I am thinking now that the screen ratio is more probably the cause !
Would it be possible that some of you check if those games are compatible with your GN2 ?
the sims 3
Plants vs Zombies
Thank you very much

Neither of them is compatible with the note 2

Sell your note and buy a nexus 4

Guys I had note for one year and liked it a lot but I just got my nexus 4 and sold my note. They have somehow almost the same price but guys I gotta tell you nexus 4 is a wonderful device and I just love it.
I really advice you to sell your note and buy this thing.
By the way smaller screen is even better and surprisingly somehow a relief, seriously !
Battery life is great great great ! I just felt to share my experience with you

Oh god, please tell me why? I don't see any reasons now: my note is still snappy (thanks to jb leaks), there are no games, that aren't playable (my main concern for every phone is shadowgun dead zone and it runs smoothly).
BUT with note I still have a monster battery, monster display and monster storage.
Really, nexus 4 is a nice phone. But I can't find any reasons to change galaxy note, HTC one x, s3 or even galaxy nexus to nexus 4. I mean, if you are looking for a new phone, go and grab it, if you already have one, just pass it
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

Ok here are my reasons:
1) nexus 4 uses gorilla glass 2. Search a bit about it. It is actually thinner and when you swipe your finger on screen, because of the elimination of the extra layer, you feel so nice and it is like touching the icon by your finger. You should try to find out what I mean.
2) 2 GB ram and quad core cpu is great. You think your note is monster now but after working with nexus 4 you will change your opinion. Just i.e. I feel flying when I use chrome compared to note.
3) battery is great here. Near 6 hr screen on time under super heavy use. Wifi on all the time, music, surfing, game etc.
4) Most recent upgrades of android. This one worth much more than anything. Imagine that in May we are gonna get key lime pie 5.0 and you are still on 4.1
How much more do you need?
By the way ips is much better than amoled. With amoled and the over saturation your eyes get tired after a while but with ips no !

Can you tell us the reason why you're coming in the Galaxy Note section to tell to Note users (ie peoples who choosed to buy a Note) to buy another mobile ?
Seriously, go touch yourself in the N4 section, if Note users want to trade their mobile for a N4 or anything elses, i guess they'll be smart enough to go in the right section.
And my 2 cents, N4 sucks for me, no need of the hardware and i prefer a bigger screen + Spen.

Nexus 4 is a great phone. No one will deny that, but there is something many of the users here would agree with me on. And to let you see why, then i'm gonna answer all of your points here.
1. Samsung Galaxy Note II also use Gorilla Glass 2.
2. Samsung Galaxy Note II also have 2 GB RAM and a good Quad-core CPU.
3. The battery is much better on the Galaxy Note II.
4. Samsung Galaxy Note II also gets the latest releases thanks to XDA-Developers.
So, my question is then, why should anyone go from a Galaxy Note to a Nexus 4 instead of a Galaxy Note II?
And don't get me started on the multiview windows functionality that is actually a reason alone on why we Note users choose a phone like a Note over anything else.

Because if you sell your note and add 30 $ or euro more you can get a perfect phone but for note 2 you should pay around 150 euro more.
Besides, lets face it, google support is better or xda? Xda without source code can not do anything ! And samsung sucks at releasing source codes !

Something all these Galaxy Note wanabe's seem blind to is the s-pen ; it's not just about a larger than usual phone screen, but you can write on it...properly..with a pen...detailed stuff, useful stuff. If all you want is bigger Angry Birds then I'm sure one of the other 5" + screens are great but the Note is successful because it serves all the creatives out here who are not happy drawing with a fat finger. Maybe it's just me :cyclops:

Non removable battery is a deal breaker. Can you replace the battery without breaking something ?

I had my Note for 15 months and LOVED it, best smartphone in the world BY FAR. Actually, I would say the ONLY REAL smartphone in the world as it was the only one actually USABLE.
I just upgraded to a Note II which is improved in literally *everything* but in the most important spec (display dimensions) and the least important one (looks. I liked much better the Note I).
The Note II has a smaller display in its shorter side and that's my ONLY gripe with it, I hate the fact that they went with the 16:9 aspect ratio and the fact that 5.5" 16:9 means a NARROWER display and that's why I initially hold off upgrading but after seeing IRL what 2GB of RAM really mean I instantly bought the Note II and sold the Note. BEST UPGRADE EVER (save for the stupid display aspect ratio...).
The Nexus 4? It's an Apple-like P.O.S. which with its MORONIC non-removable battery, ridicolously insufficient non-expandable internal memory and small display is totally *useless* and *worthless* to me.

a device with at least large screen (>5inch), s-pen, tablet rom (with all features Notes is offering), nice design (quare, not s3-like) would get my consideration, a bit, otherwise none will be comparable with the incredble Note
the sucking hardware does not matter, at least IMO, even a Nexus 40 will be said like this OP when the Nexus 41 comes, you should know how to use your device, or you will sell your Nexus 40 soon for a Nexus 41
it is crazily rediculous for these words in Note area

there is no way on this earth you could convince me to buy LG hardware.
Also No micro SD = deal breaker.

Thanks for your expression but No thanks.
Nexus 4 is not 5.3 inch. It does not have SPen. No multi-windows. The display does not show true black. Blurry scroll--Amoled screen refreshes so much faster than lcd. Those are the reasons I stick to my beloved Note until Note 3.

Not a big deal at all, 5 minutes.

As a current Note I owner I've tested N4 for 2 full days. I can only say 2 good things about it: the uber sexy body and smoothness. Apart from it - no SD card and a worse camera are a no-go. Before testing it, I used CM10.1 on my Note but after a month or so I decided I was missing Samsung's touch too much (I like the additions and a bit nicer GUI). So I installed RR ICS V12 and completely happy now.
I also realized that Note is too big for me - the one-handed operations feel like on the edge of dropping it all the time! So I skipped Note2 and waiting for S4 now.

I totally get what you all are saying. I was very doubtful too, especially about screen size but now I am sure that for a phone it should definitely be below 5 inch. Now I am sure that the concept of phablet is crazy.
I will get a tablet soon and I think this is right. Big size of note 1 was really annoying for me.
About note 2, I agree that it is way better than note 1 and the reduce in its width was a clever action. But guys! Direct update from google is something that no one can overlook it.
S pen had no use for me at all and I am sure if someone really use s pen he or she should get note 10.1 or note 8 not this because it is way too small for using a pen on

I'm waiting for Note 4. Don't see many differences between Galaxy S4 and Note 2. Will stay at my Note 2 at least until september 2014 when there is a Note 4 come out.

Lol. No differences? It hasn't even been announced yet.

It will be almost the same as Galaxy S4. You did not notice that Galaxy S2 almost same as Galaxy Note? And Galaxy S3 almost the same thing as Galaxy Note 2. I can't find ANY uniqueness in Galaxy S4 for me.

The s3 and Note 2 are nowhere close to being the same. Maybe looks but inside are not the same.

I wonder if we will see something really amazing, exclusive to the note 3? Thinking back the note 2 had the air view first, any ideas? And does anyone think 2 or 3 different sizes? Very exciting
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Different sizes is going to be big flop concept. Just a couple of variants like s4 is enough, screen size should be same. What I am expecting that note 3 will have smoothness from note 2 and features from s4. In short, it will be a Job Finished of what it would have been in the s4.

You are right

Galaxy S3 and Note2 are the same, inside to. Same exynos 4212 q core chip. only big diference i se is S-pen and screen size. and only 1 gig ram in S3 3g version 2 gig in 4G verersion.
But one exiting thing with S4 4G (I9505) version is Snapdragon chipset, same as s4 google edition, and i thing i saw someone making dual boot google edition and samsung stock rom

I'm going to go out on a limb here and gamble, and say the Note 3 will have at least 2 sizes,and be different to the s4,if you think about it, the mega is not too different to the s4, so I can't see a big presentation showing this, could you see them showing a mega with only a few different things to the mega! Not me, this isn't going to be a apple presentation with only a few differences like the iPhone 3, then the 3s, then the iphone 4, then the 4s.

As long as they don't follow the idiots copying Apple's worst ideas like frigging integrated batteries, no expandable storage with small or very expensive internal memory and scrap metal cases I would buy a Mega-sized Note III the day it's available even if NOTHING but the display size changes from the Note II.

I don't think they will change the battery, and memory card slot, that would be suicidal, by the way the one thing that will stop me getting this phone, AND I mean the only reason is if it has the same flash player as the s4, awful experience, the note 2 has the best internet experience, even the HTC one, built in flash player is awful, I use a football streaming website and only the note 2 it plays smooth, no lag or stuttering, all from the default browser, not chrome, and I tested the mega as well, and same thing, so the s4, mega and HTC one, all have awful flash player experience.

Actually, I already lost count of the S4 variants. One comes out every week I do hope Samsung refrains from this on the Note 3. But I do agree that 2 variants is more than enough. Screen size will certainly increase. That, is almost certain. It would be suicidal not to when the competition will be releasing phablets with screens around 6".

Right on! :good: I played with the Huawei Ascend Mate a bit last weekend and loved its 6.1" screen. I also realized that moving from 5.5" to 5.7" will be irrelevant. I'll have to move to 6" to notice any real world difference.

Phone Arena does it again! Yet another utterly pointless, irrelevant and totally devoid of any new info "leak".

I dont understand why ppl think the Note 3 will come in 3 sizes???? Why in the world would samsung do that? I dont think it makes any sense. I do however believe that it'll come in at least 2 variants, 1 snapdragon 800 version and 1 exynos 5 octa 2nd gen version. I also think that it'll be either a 5.7 inch or 5.9 inch display but most likely 5.7 inch due to all the latest rumors. Samsung needs to leave some room for future notes. If they release a note 6.4 like the Z ultra, next year it'll have to be bigger otherwise it'll be a downgrade in size. Bigger than 6.4 inch is a tablet period so 5.7-5.9 inch is pretty cool.
All the note 3 needs to do ( in my opinion) to be a worthy upgrade to the best mobile device ever ( note 2 of course) is to have a flawless performance and even more cooler and useful tricks with the Spen, have a 1000% lag free experience ( not like the S4 when it launched), slimmer and have less bezel all around with amazing battery life. I also HOPE that samsung ditches the stupid features like smart pause and smart scroll that are honestly gimmicky ( who really scrolls up and down a web page with their eyes...) and give us more very useful features like multi-window. Last but not least, please Samsung, ditch the S4, S4 mini, galaxy mega 6.3 design and introduce us to something more exciting, different and less predictable.

Just need to say that the scrolling the website, is not a gimmick, you will use it and not even realise after a while,
It's a shame that there is so much space wasted on the bezel, I would prefer Samsung on the home button, than above, and also it would be mad for them not to release a 6" size, version, could we see a notification home button like the G pro, phone,

It definitely is a gimmick. I had the S4 and never used it. Its much easier to scroll down the page with your fingers...Also i think 5.7 inches is perfect.

90 % of the time it did. But whats the point? my fingers are more accurate and faster then me looking up and down the page. Its a cool gimmick to show to friends...thats about it.

[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).

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.

Which AMOLED Panel Being Used?

The comparison is obviously against the newest Samsung series of devices. The Nexus 6 has a horrid AMOLED screen; my wife's Galaxy S5 has a better screen in terms of vibrancy and overall colors.
I read somewhere that the Super AMOLED of Samsung is actually constructed differently that other manufacturers? Is that true?

Unsure on the exact panel , all i've heard from the videos is " gorgeous "and "bright " though

Check android authority video comparison of 6p vs old nexus 6. To me the amoled on the 6p seemed too yellowish and very similar to the nexus 6 screen. That makes me think amoled being used this year is again lower quality. On the s6 and note 5, the amoled whites are really white...while on the 6p video the whites seemed yellowish like nexus 6. That's a red flag.

I'm holding off on the 6P because I might make the move over to the Edge 6+ or Note 5. I'm at the point where build quality and screen mean more to me than anything else.
The dev is getting "boring", since there isn't really much left to improve when it comes to stock android.

I feel the same that's why I am using the note 5. I have had every nexus, but starting from nexus 5 development scene wasn't that great anymore. OS has reached a level where there isn't much improvement left for the developers to make.

I wish Samsung put out a Google version (or whatever it was called), like they did with the Galaxy S4. If they did that for the Note 5 or any of the S6's, I'd be happy.
My wife wants the Edge+, and I will probably get the Note 5.

I really wish that more people with the hands on opportunity would talk more about the screen quality. It's really crazy that they are not.

All I want to see is someone with a damn S6 holding it up to the 6p with both devices full brightness.

Any word on what panel is used for the screen in the Nexus 6P?

SW: It has a Samsung WQHD AMOLED panel. We have spent a lot of time tuning the white-point and color gamut for these panels - hope you will enjoy the accuracy of the display.

Well that's promising, without being asked, they specifically address the yellow/white issue.

Doesn't the Nexus 6 also use a Samsung Amoled? I think the argument is that Samsung uses the "best" Amoleds for their devices and don't share.

That 1000% confirms that screen will be crappy again. Sucks they stopped using ips from LG, like they did with nexus 5.

Nothing is as bad as the Moto X 2014 screen. I have that and it's soooo yellow.
The Nexus 5 might be the perfect phone, at least to me.

That's like the most genetic answer ever. They completely ignored the question about the panel. It must be the same as the Nexus 6.

Lol they don't give a single **** I think. Nexus has never been about premium hardware. Google guys are smart and they probably notice how blind their fanboys are. No matter what Google sells, or at what price, fanboys will buy it. That's what they are doing now. They sold the nexus 6 for 700+ last year, and in less than 11 months, that phone dropped to $300. That's 68% loss in less than 1 year. Speaks a lot of quality of hardware.

It is the newest gen

None of the YouTube reviews said nothing bad, and im sure its a different display than the Nexus 6. I have the Samsung S6 now and the screen is amazing. I assure you the screen on the 6p will be just fine. I'm getting rid of the S6 is because the user experience suck balls thanks to AT&T. Even after the 5.1.1 update. I still think my Nexus 5 "rip" ran a lot smoother then the S6. just my personal option.
