There are rumours that Samsung is preparing a 7-inch Galaxy Note GT-N5100 to fit between the 5.5 inch and 10.1 inch Notes.
I hope that it is true and that it comes with a 1080p full HD screen and LTE/4G for that would make an upgrade definitely worthwhile.
Now that the the Nexus 10 has followed the Ipad, Asus Infinity and Acer A700 with a full 1080p HD screen it is time for Samsung to do the same and release a full 1080p HD 7-inch screen tablet with a S-Pen for I think the Note 10.1 received a cool reception partly because it lacked a 1080p full HD screen.
I am tempted to get the Nexus 10 because it is full 1080p HD and vanilla Android. However, the S-Pen adds a lot of worthwhile functionality to a tablet as I have discovered on my Note I and I would not now buy a tablet without one.
So I'm hoping the rumour that a 7-inch Galaxy Note is coming soon is true and if it has a full 1080p HD screen and LTE/4G then I'll definitely replace my 7.7 with it.
It seems the GT-N5100 is going to have a 720p screen and not 1080p full HD according to SamMobile

The nexus 10 is 2650x1600. Much higher res then 1080p.
The one thing all of these "replacements" and "alternatives" are missing relative to the 7.7: OLED.
There's no possible alternative to the 7.7 without the SAMOLED. PERIOD.
What you're talking about are alternatives to the 7inchers we've already have, maybe even to the 8.9.
I agree however how cool the pen is and all, but just that such a device is a different one. I just bought the 7.7 for the screen. If it had the same screen as the 8.9", or the 7" 1 or 2 I wouldn't particularly have bought this one. Apples and oranges.
I currently Have the GS4, but have been looking at videos of the Note 3 and have found a new love. I have never toyed around with or entertained the idea of a Note device before. Should I make the jump to the Note 3?

It's going to be faster with the additional S-Pen features.
If you can handle the size go for it - that's the only debatable thing if money is not an issue.
make the jump. i sold my s4 weeks ago for note 3. i think the note 2 is just as fast as s4. Note 3 will be so much better then s4. Size could be your only issue

Note 2 is def not as fast as gs4....that said the n3 will be that much faster then the s4.im keeping my n2 and s4 as well as getting n3...should be interesting comparing them all hands on
sent from my S3, S4 or Note2
You know the differences are all easy to see. Just buy what fits your budget, and realize the Note 3 is better in every way, except if it's too big for your needs. I don't know of many people who even care about the size, in fact believe it's a benefit because of the larger screen.
Previously covered by many websites, it has the following improvements over the Galaxy S4:
Instead of 16-bit 48kHz sound, it has 24-bit 192kHz HD hardware. Thus superior sound playback and recording.
Instead of just 1080p video recording (1920x1080), it has 4K HD video recording (3,840 x 2,160)
Instead of just 1.9GHz quad core and Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 chipset, it has Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset w/ 2.3GHz quad-core
Instead of Adreno 320 graphics chipset, it has Adreno 330 for faster graphics and other features improvements.
There is the addition of the S Pen and ability to detect pen pressure on the screen, which the S4 lacks.
Instead of the 5" screen 1920x1080 screen, it has a 5.7" 1920x1080 screen. There is loss of pixels per inch, in trade off for larger screen.
Instead of plastic body, it has metal bezel and faux leather backing "premium" style.
Instead of Android 4.2 stock, it has Android 4.3.
Instead of USB2 interface, is has USB3 for faster data transfer with PC and faster charging ability.
It should have other improvements, like faster internal storage, and perhaps a change in the Super AMOLED display, which might compensate for the loss of pixels per inch. The S4 has diamond pentile pixel layout, some people hope the Note 3 has something else which results in clearer display or more subpixels (but nobody knows yet, as these specifications have not yet been released)
Pretty much you are getting a much better device for your money with the Note 3. It has no downsides, unless you don't want the larger screen/device size.
I currently own the Note 2 n7100, but today I saw Note 3 on display and played around with it. I was quite impressed by the screen quality and the new s-pen. That tip felt a lot better then Note 2's slippery plasticy one, and I actually enjoyed doodling some stuff with it.
I use my Note 2 mostly for sketching, watching movies, and reading some books.
But I want to know how the Note 10.1 2014's screen compares to Note 3's in terms of brightness, contrast, and clarity? and for watching movies in dark
If I buy the Note 10.1, I get to keep the Note 2 as well.
But if I buy the Note 3, I will have to sell my Note 2.
I don't have a Note phone, still on S3, no value added from me to your post. But 2 gadgets are better than one. Get Note 10.1, keep your phone.

The Note 10.1 is exactly like the Note 3 except bigger screen/resolution and can't call. You can also use the note 10.1 s pen on the Note 2. Therefore keep the Note 2 and get this tablet.

Yea, the screen looks like a larger, more higher resolution version of the Note III. It's beautiful. Like when your walking around the mobile phone displays at the store, the Note III's screen stands out above all the rest in clarity and detail. You can just instantly pick that one out over the others from a glance. Well, it's the same thing with the Note 2014, surrounded by all the other tablets it just makes you just stop and take a look at it because it's so clean.
Once I pick up my Note '14, I'll have exactly what you have. A Note II and a Note 2014. It's seriously the way to go in such a situation.
And personally, I never use my Note II's S-pen. It's hand cramp central writing with that thing, but writing on the 2014 in the store feels very comfortable because of the size of the device and placement of the hard buttons.
I also think note 2 + note 10.1 2014 is the way to go. For the uses you describe the tablet makes a perfect fit. IMHO the only real drawback of the note 10 . 2014 vs note 3 is the contrast ratio. But unless you vitally need very very deep blacks, this screen is gorgeous and... big
On the other hand, I think the tablet has better outside visibility, although I am not 100% sure about it
iiSo say we all!! from my SM-N9005

I think you only can't call from WiFi version, and that's SM-P6000
Own both in fact Samsung should give me a great customer loyalty rating because I own the Galaxy Gear too.
The Note 3, I use for phone calls, apps .... It is the device I always have with me.
The Gear, is a convenience get email in the meeting glance to the watch. Got myfitnesspal, and a few apps on my Gear. I love the device.
The Note 10.1 use for games such as Dead Trigger II, magazines, movies, browsing the problem with the Note 10.1 is being a tablet I am not always carrying it, also no LTE.
I have Note 3 and 2014. Perfectly happy and I use both A LOT.
But I would double check the S-Pen compatibility thing. Sometimes when I'm using both, I will use the larger 2014 S-Pen on the Note 3 and it works most of the time, but sometimes it doesn't. I don't think it's a phone issue because the Note 3's pen works flawlessly 100% of the time with its phone.
Having both, felt note 10.1 is a tone down note 3 with bigger screen without NFC & proximity sensor. I prefer note 3 as it more easier to bring out.
Its not the greatest for watching movies. I find that dark scenes in movies appear very washed out looking, almost like watching on an LCD TV, where there is some light bleed coming thru on the blacks. Just my opinion.

Stick with the Note 2 if that's all you're doing.

IPS LCD can't compete with the pure black of SAMOLED for watching movies in the dark. IPS will show black as grey.

Sounds like your best choice is keep the Note 2 and get the Note 10.1 2014 (Snapdragon 800).
I watch movies and shows on my Note 3. Nothing, in my opinion, can compete with SAMOLED for that. Work, etc. gets done on the 10.1, which is awesome for multi tasking and getting business done.
Thanks for all your input guys! This has been very helpful.
I will go for the Note 10.1 for now. And I will probably get the Note 3 next year after its price goes down a bit.
For movies, I'll have to stick with my Note 2 for the nice contrast.
I just saw some guys mentioned that they are not sure hdmi or mhl functionality of note 3 and few people discussion MHL/ hdmi output. I write this to told you all who cares HDMI output of note 3. I am sure to tell that note 3 support MHL, which is is an industry standard for a mobile audio/video interface that allows consumers to connect mobile phones, tablets and other portable consumer electronics (CE) devices to high-definition televisions (HDTVs) and audio receivers. (here is the official link , shows that note 3 support MHL).
Therefore, if you guys who want to display note 3 via the MHL port of note 3 to a HDTV screen, all you need is a MHL to HDMI converter.
And also, found a video guide for reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NjUJN10m_Q
Any questions on MHL or HDMI, please give your feedback here. I am ready to help.
I can't get MHL cable to work through HDMI on TV.
I am using this cable. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I am using the 11 pin adapter. The cable works with my galaxy s3 but not note 3. I read it could be a kit kat issue. I am running MOAR_S5_Port v5 10-26-14. http://forum.xda-developers.com/note...5port-t2836713
Anyone else have this problem?
Since Note 4 can shoot 4K videos, can it also mirror these 4K videos on a Samsung 4K TV?
Searched the forum but got nothing. Then Googled and while found articles with "How to Wirelessly Display Your Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to a LG 4K Smart TV" https://gtrusted.com/how-to-wireles...our-samsung-galaxy-note-4-to-a-lg-4k-smart-tv
Also found "Samsung Galaxy S5 / Note 4 / Edge MHL 3.0 4K HDTV HDMI Adapter" https://www.mobilefun.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s5-note-4-edge-mhl-3-0-4k-hdtv-hdmi-adapter-51065
Hope some others have tried either wireless or wired mirroring with their Note 4 and if there are any problems trying to do this with 4K videos.
I ordered two years ago cheapest 4k mhl adapter (black with violet text 4k or something) and it didnt work so there ended my experiments. I think for mhl need to have stock rom.
I have LG tv but i didnt get connected my Note 4 by screen share. S4+ worked unknown amount of pixels. Both on custom rom.
