A note is a galaxy.

What are you trying to say

Im pretty sure he's saying exactly what he wrote.. If youre referring to the Samsung phones, the "Note" youre asking about is actually named, Samsung "Galaxy" Note, Samsung Galaxy Note II, Samsung Galaxy Note III, all the way up to the incredibly designed, safest phone on the planet, Galaxy Note 7, see here:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_series
And here:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/phones/galaxy-note/
Perhaps the real question is, what are you trying to say??

Just so you understand nobody was saying the note wasnt a galaxy

At least we dont have to use a S3 Apk.
Could you upload the APK file?

For friends, does that have to be people using Galaxy Note or any Samsung phones?

My story is supported by note, s2,s3. So only people with those phones can use it.

Unfortunately a pretty useless app.
I did not see that mentioned in the publicity.
That's always the problem with such proprietary software. If they really want mystory to be used they will have to release it for non Samsung phones too. Without support for other phones it is going to disappear sooner or later. I for example do not know one single person I can send mystory messages. I don't even know why I installed it

Worthy upgrade from Galaxy S3?

I have a T-Mobile version of the Galaxy S3. The question is; is it worth paying full price for the Galaxy Note 2 if you have A Galaxy S3? Is it a huge enough upgrade to pay full retail price?

I'll be able to tell you Tuesday, as I'm in the same boat as you.

No doubt buddy ...even i was in same dilemma..... but after usng note 2 the experience is rocking...large screen ...extra smoothness.....extra ram.....and S pen.....FROM MY POINT DEFINATELY WORTH EVERY PENNY ..
AND DONT WORRY ABOUT SIZE U WILL GET USE TO IT then s3 will feel like a baby in hand ....rest all ur wish and desire..

Well, if you sell your S3, you can significantly offset the cost of a Note 2. I've never owned an S3, but the times I've used them, they seem like a watered down Note. No S-Pen, no incredible battery life, no split screen apps, etc. I basically look at the S3 and feel it's a small Note with none of the benefits. It's kinda like a dumbphone, if you will, compared to the Note.
My take anyway. Up to you if it's worth the cost.
I have Jellybean on my S3 and still not sure if I should get the Note 2. If I still had the Galaxy 2 then I would upgrade in a heart beat.

I upgraded from S3 and I am very happy I did. Got bored with the S3 very quickly as I didnt find that big of an upgrade over the S2. But the Note2, best phone I ever had by far. It really is amazing. So go for it and I am sure you wont regret it.

I will wait a little bit for the pricing of the note 2 to come down before I buy it full pricing whether on eBay or a holiday promo.

Both excellent devices, the Note 2 is ideal if you want a bigger screen and more power, but either way the S3 is a great device.

Galaxy s4 or Galaxy note 2 or optimus G pro

I have a galaxy s4 and have a friend who wants it. He has a note 2 and his wife has a optimus G pro. He wants to trade one of them for the s4. Was thinking about it but does anybody know anything about the other devices. Or are they going to be a bad trade.

Bro trust me keep the s4... I have had the note 2 and the optimus s4 way better

1080p screen is key. I wouldn't touch the Note, but would definitely consider the G Pro.
I agree with tmushtare. Keep the GS4. I have had all three phones as well. The GS4 is superior to the Note II & O-G Pro, + has a higher resale value than the other 2.
The OG pro is nice I was considering it when I bought my S4 ( I had the optimus G) and have had the Note 2.. The only thing I see as better about either is the 5+ inch screen... But for me the 5" screen is the sweet spot.. I get awesome battery life on my S4 and its a good size for my big fingers but it's not so big that I have trouble using it one handed.. Love my S4

I had the HTC One, OG pro, Note 2 and now S4. I had both the I9500 and now the the I9505. To make a long story short keep the S4 or get the Gpro if you like bigger screen. You cant go wrong with either phone seriously but know that the gpro development is pretty much non existent right now . As far as the note 2 it is an incredible device but the Note 3 is right around the corner. I would say keep the S4 for the time being and see what the note 3 is about in a short couple of months.

Thanks for all the replys. I have defiantly have exclude the note 2. Somebody said the gpro had support here but doesn't anymore. If I got it could u root and run custom ROMs?

The G pro development section is a ghost town compared to the s4.. Take a look at the forums and see for yourself lol

I haven't checked any other sites but if any site were to have ROMs and mods and whatnot for OG Pro it would be xda and I just checked again so I don't eat my words there isn't one ROM there in fact there's only like 10 topics in the development section
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
OK I took a look and gpro doesn't have that much in it. So if u just run stock then the gpro would be OK. Think I'll stick with the s4. Thanks everybody.

Now if we can get a bootloader unlock for the s4 we would be set.

I tried this G pro when my s4 was stolen. It's heavy to me but 5.5 inch screen. It seemed a tad bit slower not much than s4. I've mainly owned either Samsung or LG devices so I'm used to the difference between them. I just felt less comfortable carrying the Pro. I would definitely use it at home but not out & about. The storage is great 32gb internal with additional sd storage.

Two things I am worried about....

And that is the Knox or what ever it is called, or Verizon doing what they did to the S4. I read that it was an update that made it very hard to unlock and root. I love flashing ROMs and what not. Don't know if I should get the Note 3. I have the Note 2, but will be giving it to my mom if I get the note 3.

It is a big possibility, we'll just have to wait and see once it's available to the masses. As for reasons to not upgrade, check out this post discussing that same subject:

Request S5 nbench results

I hear the S5 is faster than the S4.
By how much?
Could someone with a stock/untweaked S5 install nbench http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.drolez.nbench and post the results?

Thanks Krytoan! Looks much faster than the S4. I think I'm gonna get me an S5 soon

My main reason for the switch was for the camera, and it was worth the upgrade! Speed and whatnot, of course are better too!
