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?

No stylus with a Cowon, but I see where people are at on this and have my answer.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

If you want it as a media player, the WIFI Galaxies are fine but they are NOT in anyway comparable to the Note.
A quick rundown on the main things I think make the difference; 5.0 inch Galaxy WIFI vs Note.
1GHz single core - 1.4GHz dual core
Original SGS unit? - SGS2 Mali400
512mb RAM - 1GB
800x480 screen - 1280x800 screen
So if you are planning to also use apps and browse the web, the Note is by far and a way a better device. Of course it costs more but you get what you pay for many times over IMO.
As a PMP? The Note is better than any Cowon I have seen so far. Gorgeous 5.3 inch screen (biggest Cowon was 4+ inches IIRC), high resolution screen and it doesn't look like the bricks Cowon puts out in this display range.

Better than a Cowon as a pmp....repeat a pmp? You are massively misinformed and probably have never used a Cowon product. The Z2 blows any other pmp away and all while not suffering from nasty black clipping

It's all subjective but the main reason I prefer the Note over the Cowons is the bigger, higher resolution screen which makes watching videos a more pleasant experience. I'm not sure what black clipping is, but I've had no problems watching videos on my Note.
Please give your reasons for claiming that Cowon is better rather than just throwing slander about. I've already given the parameters by which I judge these devices so lets have both sides of the argument.

Are you getting spoiled by the high rez screen of the Nexus 7?

The thing that really blows me away that hasn't been discussed in most reviews or here is the screen resolution on this 7 inch tablet with a dpi of 213. The text looks so crisp on a web page, close to ipad 3 almost (i know it is not).
As a matter of fact, because of getting use to this clear text, I had a few days left on my return policy for the Asus TF300, which I use to think had a very nice screen, but now the text seems blurry to me. I have heard the same from people switching from ipad 1 or 2 to ipad 3.
Thus, I have decided to return my tf300 and just ordered an Asus TF700 for use as my 10 incher.
Anyone else getting too use to this type of resolution?

Resolution is definitely very nice especially in comparison to my moms iPad 2 from work.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

Um... well, the ppi on the Nexus 7 is not really that high. It is higher than that of most tablets out there, but it is lower than almost all current gen Android phones, and even some previous ones. So if you have been at least staring at a Nexus One with a ppi of 254, this should not be all that impressive. Though you do hold it further away from your face.
However it is indeed very impressive by tablet standards. The previous gen iPads had a horrendous ppi of 132. And I believe the highest ppi of any Android tablet is currently found on the 499$ Transformer Prime Infinity with a ppi of 224. So the Nexus 7 surely packs quite a bang.

Seconded. The resolution is very nice, and the color tone is way better than the iPad 3 retina display. That one is just too...warm? It ends up yellowing and dulling colors in a weird way.

Funny... that is exactly what I would say about the 7. Way too warm compared to the rest of my devices (IPad 3, Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S3). Its kind of annoying really. I'm adapting though because I love the size.

My original intention was to get the TF700, i decided that saving $230+ was a better choice and went with the N7 and i love the screen. No complaints about the resolution. :good:

I should make my 800x480 pentile SGS phone look like crap in comparison which is the main reason why I'm getting one.

I watched the transformer movie on it. It looks awesome.

No wonder the nexus one display was amazing. From that phone I went on to galaxy then sensation and always thought the nexus one was better in display.

I know the feeling. I upgraded from the iPad 1 to the iPad 3 and I can't even look at the Old one anymore.
Thankfully the N7 has a high res screen so it'll be tolerable by my eyes.

No, because i'm used to 284 DPI on my Galaxy Note. The Nexus 7 has a good screen (especially for the price), but it's nowhere near as good as the AMOLED on the Note.

I agree with th op. screen is great quality. out of all tablets, infinity pad is the best and nexus 7 comes in close second. the text is really crisp and hd movies look really good on it.

For the price its a good screen... but nothing compared to my iPad 3.
It still blows away my pad 1 and my playbook!

My daily driver is the HTC one x which has the best mobile screen I've ever used. That being said I hope the nexus 7 screen still looks amazing to me when I get it later. I have had plenty of other tablets though so as long as it looks better than those I'll be satisfied.

Screen will look better than most other tablets except for the new iPad... The clarity won't be as good as your HTC one x because it have more ppi on a smaller screen size... We should not compare tablet screen vs cellphone screen because the phone will always win assuming were talking high end phones!

I guess I did have tablets in mind when I posted this, never even thought about comparing to phone.
However, i would be interested in this comparison though. Web browsing is where I see the effects of a high rez screen the best due to text size. On people with phones that have better dpi like Galaxy nexus, if you open up a web site in ITS DESKTOP VERSION like yahoo.com (and if you have font size set to Normal), can you still read the small texts pretty well? Would be interesting to see the effects of large dpi but on a smaller screen.

I think the screen looks amazing. For the price you can beat this tab. Am happy I got one.
The warm color issues can be fixed with kernels and gama settings. Well I think it can, I fixed my Galaxy Nexus colors by tuning the multipliers

Would you like a Nexus 8

No, there's no nexus 8 out there if that's what you're wondering. I just want to know how many people here would love to have their screen a lil bit bigger. For me the nexus 7's screen is quite small. I don't want a Nexus 10 'cause it costs about 650$ here in Switzerland (that's 3 times the N7) and 10 inches is too big for me. I'd prefer an 8 inches screen. As the phone's size is getting bigger, I think there might be a chance that this tablet will also get a little bit bigger some day. A N8 may be. I don't know. Just wonder how many people would love to have that.

7 Inch just feels right for me, gaming, reading e-book, browsing, and kinda easy to carry around :0

The 7"screen is perfect. I sold my 10" Samsung tablet cause it was just way to big. When the successor to the N7 cones out I hope its still a 7" tablet.

In some ocasion i realy wished the nexus was 8 inch. but overall its a realy good size

To be honest, 8 inches is too big. The nexus 7 fits well in one hand, but even the ipad mini which is 7.9 inches, it's hard to hold
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

Definitely not, I returned the Kindle Fire HD 7" and one of the many reasons was the bezel is too wide so I can't hold it with one hand. I chose the Nexus 7 for it's ease of holding with one hand and it's portability.
I wouldn't mind if the screen size grow, but bezels shrink to compensate to retain the dimension, maybe 7.7".
Sent from my Nexus 7

Actually, if the Nexus goes to 8 inch, that just means similar as the iPad Mini which is 7.9 inch.For most people, I think 7 inch is just very suitable, and there is no need to develop a 8 inch one. But I think size cannot decide everything.there are many other factors.

Don't forget, if they do go 7.9 inches, imagine all the commotion on Google copying Apple.

i think they could probably increase the screen size leaving a smaller bezel.. and same form factor...

The N7 is perfect as it is... I'm an old school tech gear head and this tab has taken everything I can throw at it...A few of our compatriots have suggested that a rear facing camera would improve it... I say no... I've got a phone for my snapshot needs and if needed transferring pix is a non issue...I agree that the T4 processor and above would be great, but this is a solid tab that runs circles around my girlfriends Galaxy tab 2.. If it ain't broke...don't fix it....

I would say that the size fits just fine for me, however it would be nice if the screen could fill the black spaces currently used by the black border.

Just to echo the general replies so far:
7" is perfect for me due to handiness and portability. Have a 10" tab I barely use (only at home).
Any screen size larger than 7" would make the overall device size too big for me.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

The 7" is fine and fits nicely in my cargo pocket, if I could have more screen acreage in the same size package I'd go for it when my 7" dies but not if it has to be bigger.

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..
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

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.

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.
