2 years I'm getting a new phone when I'll be eligible for an upgrade...maybe by then windows phone will have either succeeded or failed...I may just defect.
Hard to pass up the xbox, windows, and office integration...and it looks pretty dang sweet.
I was always disappointed when nokia took a **** all over itself...if it rebounds I bet it will have some seriously awesome devices.

I plan on purchasing a Galaxy S XXXVII in 2047

Im waiting until t mobile has LTE.

those specs are fake, yet another wild rumour
and Samsung did not reveal any SGS3 info on the show

And all these wonderful specs on ... 4 inch mobile device?
Do you really need 1080p screen, quad core CPU on a such small mobile device? Do you REALLY need that much processing power? Most apps are optimized to work only on single core CPUs. Dual core CPUs are good, I agree, but quads are just pointless waste of resources. They have to improve dual core technology to provide better battery savings, not make battery issues even worse by adding 2 additional cores. Also this huge resolution of a such small screen. Who needs it? You won't see any difference in the resolutions above 800x480 (WVGA), this huge pixel density is pointless.

Most important can it make you a sandwich lol

Not sure how that will work based on the screens/mock ups. The fleshy bit of your thumb is going to cause the screen to register the touch. It happens on my Nexus one. Hopefully they put a lip or something on the edge surrounding the screen.

It's hard to imagine a 1080p screen for a phone since the texts on a 15.6 inches laptop are already small, how much more on a 4-5 inches phone?

Galaxy note or HTC one x

Which would you reconend from the 2 devices in the title and why? Thanks for any input

You do realize you're only going to get biased answers here, right?
I went for the Note because it has a bigger screen, a stylus, a replaceable battery and an sdcard slot.

Likewise...mainly for the screen size... I mean I have friends who all have 4.6 in down and it looks absolutely normal from spectator's, I on the other hand love the attention - yrs spec wise HTC one x does outweigh the phablet - you can compare this to apple laptops vs Sony, HP... the Macs have the lower specs overall yet people buy it for its unique looks and simplicity...(probably why the upcoming windows 8 look so much simpler than W7)
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA

It pretty much come down to this
GNote: Battery life and huge beautiful screen
One X: Quad-core
I don't think quad is needed as of now, so I would pick the GNote

Another "me-too" phone with higher-end specs (One X) vs. a genuinely unique, niche device (phablet with Wacom digitizer; N7000).
Seems like two different markets.

the main improvements over the note come from the one x's quad core CPU. if you compare them both in GPU benchmarks at the same ressy, they both perform quite similarly. when nvidia announced that the tegra3 would be 3x faster... they were comparing it to the tegra2.
so the main improvement will be in web browsing (android browser supports quads), smoother interface, and improvements in apps that support multicores (very few do aside from benches).
the only thing that peeves me about the one x is that it doesnt have a microsd slot, but im sure i can work around that with a usb on the go adapter since the htc one x supposedly has an mhl port.
at the moment, im just waiting for the other quad core phones to launch to see if there are any gems. the LG 4X interests me with its expandable storage (support for 64gb microSD), but it doesnt support the 850mhz band on 3G which would be bad for me since vodafone AU has a better 850mhz network than it does with its 900mhz network. theres also the galaxy s3 (same mali gpu but with quad core, so should perform on par with tegra3) and theres a fujitsu tegra 3 phone that has a 13.1mp camera and expandable storage coming soon as well, which should be quiet interesting.
i generally buy my phones outright... so when theres competition, theres a price drop, and thats a win for everyone!

Im gona put my Note in the drawer until ICS and probably get an One X just because i wanna surf the web from its stock web browser flawlessly in contrast to Note's choppy stock browser that loses its hardware acceleration all the time which is a big let down for me.

Well what are you looking for in a phone ?
Mainly to play games, browse social network etc ?
These are the questions i asked myself. And all answers seemed to point to the note

quadcore better than dual core.

True! Although i'd get smooth browsing by flashing one of the custom ics roms available in the dev section, i wont have a complete and stable rom with all the features that samsung is going to include in the final ics rom! So i'll be patient rather than flash ics just to see 4.0.3 under Android Version..

Galaxy Note
I was able to play with a demo unit of the HTC One X and I have to be frank after having used the Galaxy Note since November the screen size and quality has just become so familiar that holding anything smaller just feels odd. I might be biased to the Galaxy Note for now as there doesn't seem to be any apps that utilize all four cores and any gaming I might do would be on a PS Vita or Nintendo DS.

Ahahaha true that...today I looked at my friends iPhone 4 and I just straight laughed into his face and knew why without me referring to my note....I actually would purchase a 5.5in phone if it ever came to it...actually getting hooked to these big devices though I think the note is normal...

Would you buy a 6-inch Galaxy Note?

I was just reading about the upcoming Sony Yuga which will (supposedly) have a 6-inch screen. That got me thinking, would you consider buying a 6-inch Note?

I would definitely, i think 6 inch would be perfectly usable and would suite a 1080p screen plus tablet interface.

Note 1 is of the perfect size for a pocket phone for me. anything above that ..... may be not.. will go for a TAB instead

Current note1 is 6.3 inches orso, just gimme an edge to edge screen with software adjustable bezel and i am good to go.

People like this note because with such a huge screen,we can still carry it comfortably in our pockets
If it gets a 6inch display,it would more like a tablet and i think samsung will stick to 5.5 in note 3

Nope! 5.3 to 5.5 is fine for me...6 inch is tooo big..

Hmmm, that is not what she said... I know it's old, but it never gets old...
Yeah, if the footprint stayed the same, and that Note had only the screen size increased, why not?

Screen Sizes v. Penis Sizes
Ok, in this world, Penises come in three sizes and girls will say the following:
You call that a penis?
Nice Penis.
You ain't putting that thing in me.
Cell Phones have three sizes along the same lines. Saying 6 inches is too big is akin to Apple saying that their ipad mini has 47% more usable screen size in the .8" of space or whatever it is. Me, I am used to be told the last option. Yes, I would buy a 6 inch phone.

6" at 1080p would be perfect for me. Obviously depending on hardware specs.

5.5 is max i think.. its phablet.. 6 would be mini tablet then. wont fit in my pocket.. i prefer note 1 or not 2 .. :fingers-crossed:

There's new tech due to be released next year which doubles battery life of current batteries. It's simply an updated current modulator which at present is very inefficient, should be interesting.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

for me note I screen size is the perfect size for the phablet category:
- it's clearly bigger than the phones category to offer a differentiated experience and more functionality
- aspect ratio is better than the narrower 16/9 for note II
- 5,3 is already on the limit of being pocketable however i havent tested how note II feel in the pocket
for me the AR is the key advantage of the noteI screen, so for next note i'd prefer to have this same size with smaller/thinner body

I find 5.3" is still abit too small, 6" would be perfect.

Hell yeah i would. The resons would be:
• Hitting keys easier
• Watch movies better
• Better app and Web expierience
• Awesome 1080p display
• Could jave a better front facing camera
And overall just would be a great phone to use.

Yep, I tend to agree especially the part about hitting keys easier. On my Note 1, I often hitting the wrong key like getting S when I meant to press A.

Noone will put a 4k display to 5" phone, thats plain stupid so this one you may drop.
Snapdragon 800 will be more likely used in tablets, so i also dont expect it to be in next Nexus device , it will most probably will be SD600 like in other top models this year.
Ill bet for 1080P , 5" screen (which is also useless in phone, but everyone got it so Google will also). 2GB of ram (who needs more in a phone?)
No sdcard slot, no removable battery - standard in google phones.
the most major change will be the OS, KLP will most probably be pushed to phones after I/O.

4k refers to video its called ultra hd.wow . also....it seems(could of course be wrong) like you dissing or dissmising nexuses?! First are you forgeting price??!! Way below norm.people are and will eventually flock once out of a contract fir a 249$ phone. Second nexus strives now(not the gnex albeit a good phone) to be the top o line device. My lgog which is the n4 brother destroyed the Samsung Galaxy s3 in the way many ways including speed. The lgog is the top scorer stock on quadrant. Yes i know its not everyday use im just making a point. I have contacts at lg(a cousin who is a dev) and all these specs are being seriously considered.(blueprint will be at fed communication soon) and the almost for sure one is the snapdragon 800. So your guess is flawed. Sorry

God I hope the next Nexus isn't amoled. After a year of using the galaxy nexus I was tired of the griany screen and riduclous inaccurate colors. Please use the screen technology from the HTC One!

Is The Galaxy Mega 6.3 Considered An Upgrade Over The Original Note?

Curious if any note owners who skipped the note 2 consider the mega 6.3 as a worthy upgrade over the original note?

I thought bigger would be better until I compared it in the flesh with my note,deffo way to big for a phone I'd give it a week of somone grabbing it from ur ear (as it litterly looks like a brick) or I'd be claiming insurance on it cause I don't have any items of clothing with pockets that deep to keep it in..still a nice phone but there's probably still a market for that size but just not for me..

Performance wise did the mega feel snappier than the note?
I've had my note for two years and I am always up against the low ram as I multi task a lot. I prefer to not have my browser kill itself when I go to use other apps. Also I wish my note was faster.
I was hoping the mega would resolve these performance issues. I love the big screen and the lcd since it will be much better to view in daylight.
Thanks

Unfortunately I couldn't compare speed as it was one those kiosks with the phone but just abit of printed card in display as the phone isnt out until sometime in july,but got a good comparison in sizes..my notes running fast enough for what I use it for with most up to date s4 mods think il be happy enough until the note 3 arrives...HOPEFULLY..

I woild not consider it an upgrade. Specs are low, and iirc its 720p just like the note 2. If anything the kega is a downgrade. Unless your primary use of your "phone" is to watch youtube, its a downgrade. Not saying its a bad product at all here, just i would keep my used, 800p phone over gettimg a brand new mega.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

Exactly as ur already unhappy with the ram the mega is indeed a downgrade from note 2
As the note 2 has 2gb of ram and the mega only has 1.5gb and I don't think the processor is as good either so if ur lookin the bigger screen then like myself hold off until the release of note 3..

It would be better of getting the xperia z ultra rather than the mid range galaxy mega which to me is still expensive. The z ultra is bigger, better, faster, STRONGER than the mega and is water resistant too. So if you are a gamer, web browser, video watcher or anyone who plays around with their phone a lot and likes huge @55 phones should not buy the mega. Samsung made the mega mostly for the 'poor' customers who are korean. If they were to make it into a high end phablet then some of their customers might complain. So for those of you who are wealthy here just get the z ultra. Just saying

It's not an upgrade. The Note 2 is of course, but at this point wait three months and get a Note 3.

Actually i've been considering of buying galaxy mega and sell my note. It's definitely a good phone even categorized for a mid range (I've played with it for a while at the store) and a upgrade for our note. If note 3 does not come with better design i think i'll choose for galaxy mega since the performance of the mega is really acceptable at leat for me.

The Mega 6.3 destroys the Note 1 in benchmarks and is on par with the Note 2. It's not for me but if you like the size and don't need the S-pen it's a decent option especially since it's priced below flagship level.

As someone who owned an original Note and now owns a Mega, I'll say this: The mega is much, much faster! :good:
It's only dual core but the cores are Krait 300 cores, not A9's like in the Note/Note 2. That means single threaded performance is a lot better - and other than benchmarks and games, most apps are single threaded. To use, the device is as quick as the S4 (snapdragon version is the one I've played with) and nearly as fast as my Nexus 4 was.
As for the screen: Other than being 720p, it's top notch. Colours, contrast, refresh time etc.

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_mega_63-review-939p5.php
Here are the Mega 6.3 benchmarks. In fact it beats the Note 2 solidly on most of them and it would completely destroy the Note 1.
