I upgraded (not really an upgrade in my opinion) to a note 2 from my beloved note 1.
The only good thing about the note 2 is the 2gb ram. I hate led notifications so turned that off. Really missed the wider an in my opinion better screen of the note 1. The spen on the note 1 I much preferred I guess I just got used to it the note 2 spen is way to over sensitive even if you do adjust the potentiometer inside. Hate air view just annoyed me. Ok the battery life is better but the screen width on the note 1 for me is perfect.
i wouldnt upgrade for now when so many new phones are round the corner
even i thought to upgrade to note2. i borrowed my friend's note2 for a day and realized that note 1 is better.
now im waiting for S4/Note3. will compare the phones with xperia Z(i luved the water and dust proof design) then upgrade from my note
Thanks guys, I guess, I should stay with my note for a while...

Note 3 for me, note 2 was not an update. They just refined it for those who didnt have the note and were interested in getting a phablet.
Yes i like the note 1 screen and its design as compared to note 2. But i am not satisfied with the plastic of my phone. So changed my mind to wait for note 3 rather i will go for the motorola X phone.
There have been rumors that a touchless interface is to be incorporate in the s4, so it will explain if its something worth having.

Odp: I m confused... should I buy note 2 over note 1
Im confused too, I dont know wich shoukd I take. Im thinking about 2 years contract in uk. There is "only" 93 pounds different beetween them during 24 monts. Monthly is less then 4 pounds, £21 note 1 and £24,5 note 2. Is it worth paying more for note 2?

Hello all,
I'm due an upgrade in June and have my eye set on the Galaxy Note or the Galaxy S3. The one thing that compels me is the size of the screen on the Note, so I'm probably more inclined to the get the Note.
The only thing is, I don't want to buy the note and have the note 2 come out 2 months later, lol.
Maybe you guys can help me out here.

If you like to read and browse on a big screen then the note or the next iteration of the note is the solution. No contest there, anything less than 5 inch to me belongs to more of a phone. I am using the 4.7 inch HTC one x and the note, the 0.6 inch difference is missed when using the x. there are some occasion I wish a carry a smaller phone but on most occasion I am happy to fit the biggest size phone. The Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 on some occasion is perfect, yet the 5.3 for all occasion is perfect. Note 2 (700$~800$)won't be out international till November ish since that is when the original note got released. Buy note when possible keep it in good shape, resell and buy note 2. Dual core in euro note and lte note is adequate for most. So buy now and love life.

I agree - best phone on the market hands down... It's blazing fast, and there's really no need for quad core for any current use of a smartphone apart from tegra games, which you can run through chainfire. There has been no word of a note 2

get the note if you need/want the s-pen features.
Get the S3 is that's what it is, or get the Galaxy Nexus for ICS and JB
Don't wait for the Note 2 it wont be out till next year at the earliest.
There isn't any official information about the Note 2 yet, so you should go for either the Note or the upcoming S3.
Get the note, Samsung didnt realise how popular the note would be as such they never rolled it out quickly accross all the regions instead taking a staggered approach. The chances of a note 2 this year would be slim so enjoy what we have now
I think you should get the note if you love big screens like most of us here or get the S3 if you want more power and probably better spec which I am sure is going to be more expensive as well. But remember that there is always a better phone around the corner.
you should wait for the note 2
in the mean time use a string telephone
There is no announcement about the Note 2. Go buy the Note 1 now and skip a generation for the Note 3 and that way you'll always feel a significant upgrade.

What a pointless question! Should I get an existing only just released phone or wait for a fabled unicorn? Only you can answer that buddy. Personally, I'd go for a phone that is on the market (and amazing, by the way) rather than wait it out for the next generation which could still be years away!
S3 or Note - again only one of them is actually for sale (or has any firm specs) so you can't really make that decision either. If your contract is up in June, wait until then and see what is actually available at the time!
Pretty much everyone who has a Note will tell you how happy they are with it though. (Apart maybe the spoiled children who aren't happy we are having to wait for ICS )
Just get the Note. You could wait for Note 2, then for Note 3 etc. And the fact is that Note 1 is already amazing.
what about 3
You should wait for the note 3.... I dont understand people... You can also wait for the 4 i have heard it should be better...
Bought the Note now, it won't hurt you.
In matter of fact I do think this is one of my smartest decision i made. Definitely useable for work, for fun or just take a simple sketch
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
Whatever you buy and whenever you buy it, there's a always new model just around the corner, so there's no perfect time to buy. I can say that the Note is by far the best phone I've had - better than the S2 I had.

The Note II is amazing, but there will always be a new phone on the horizon.
Get your money's worth out of what you have now. If you can sell it for a good
price, like >75% of its current value, you still lose.
I love my note 1. But having said that and going through how Samsung treated us with the emmc bug, I will be only picking up nexus devices from now on. Direct updates from Google is a boon. My opinion completely.

Ask yourself the following questions:
What makes the Note 2 better then Note 1?
And are those changes game breaking?
Are those changes worth "upgrading" phone?
Like someone above me said: New phones come out each day.
My opinion: Wait for "the next big thing"
Note 1 can do almost the same things as Note II
I was at a best buy today and got a chance to look at the note II up close. Honestly my galaxy notes screen looked crisp and sharper than the display model Note II. And I really liked the 16x10 screen ratio on my note. I'll wait for the Note III.

Do not expect note III to have 16 x10 screen ratio. It will be 16 x9 with full HD maybe.
Any way Samsung to update the Galaxy Note directly to Android 4.1.2
so stick to Note 1 have some experience, compare and then decide about upgrade to note 2

I also noticed this too, but it is odd ! How can note 1 screen be sharper and brighter and note 2?

I was eager to buy note II but when the xls2 firmware was available I decided to not spend the money because JB in note 1 its awesome.. TW UX was the what made me stay with note I... And now we even have multi windows so I see no point for upgrading until at least SGS IV.. The beast its coming in no time with the latest samsung processor/gpu and the latest screen technology.. With 5" Screen... Guess it has no physical buttons..
Tapatalking on my n7000
yeah probably that why samsung delaying the official release of jb..
I would wait a couple of months before upgrading, they're just about to release a string of 1080p quad core phones in late Jan early Feb.

Agreed and as has been said before note 2 screen (in my opinion) is not game chagingly better and as Note 1 can do much of the things the 2 can wait and see what comes early next year.
If Sammy continue as they have the note 3 is less than a year away anyway.
The GNII screen seemed fuzzier and less sharp than my note. Honestly I went into the store looking to buy the Note II but when I saw how fuzzy the screen was I was turned off. My screen seemed brighter and crisper. And yes I went into the Note II display settings and jacked the brightness all the way up and picked the same dynamic screen mode that my note I used.
I feel my Note can hold me over without issue until the Note III. And 16x9 is not a huge thing to get used to, I understand that is the standard. I really enjoyed the 16x10 though...
Just got rumours on galaxy s4.... 8 core processor?!!

Many rumors are floating around that Samsung will be using the Exynos 5450 Quad-Core CPU clocked at 2.0 GHz, the Exynos 5450 is part of Samsung’s Exynos Series 5 and is based on Cortex-A15 Architecture, a 8-Core Mali-T658 GPU, 2GB of RAM and a 13 Megapixel rear facing camera. According to our Korean Insiders, Samsung will be equipping the Galaxy S IV with a stunning 4.99″ SuperAMOLED Display with a resolution of 1920×1080 (1080p Full HD) giving the display a 441PPI Pixel Density and the display is already in Mass Production.

That's just pure sex.... Not sure I can wait for note 3 with that on offer.

If these rumors hold true and the GSIV actually comes out with a 4.99" screen, do you think Samsung will just merge the Note functionality with the Galaxy series and just produce one single device rather than two? I mean it makes sense. One device with large screen and S Pen functionality. They seem to be making the Galaxy phone screen larger and larger, why not right?
I gave a try to Note II yesterday, compared 2 web sites side by side and to my surprise, Note I display is somehow better. Display ratio on Note I is also still better.
Smoothness in Note II was not noticeable, no reason to upgrade at the moment. There would be 1 way to get involved and it is smart dock, but that thing is not that common now and I guess with Note III it will be more polished and apps got more optimization, so it will be like Padphone I guess.
Note I is simply better, not by hardware of course, but how everything fit together.

I plan on buying a new phone (no budget limit), but since s4 has too many problems, people are advising to wait for note 3. what should i do? are there any other good phones like note 3 to be released?
also s4 is only 16 gb in india, will this a problem with note 3 also? 32 will be available in india?
thanks!

I upgraded from a Note 3 and I am glad I did! Much better performance and battery life. Best of all, no bloatware that I'll never use I would highly recommend the Nexus 6
I went from the 2 to a G3 to this. Very happy.
Note 2 two years....Note 4 for a month...then Nexus 6. Glad I made the move.
Note 3 for a year to note 4 for about 2 weeks then to nexus 6 for me. Make a list of what you want out of a phone and then go from there. Happy camper.
Note 2 L900 straight to Nexus 6. So worth it.
How does the screen brightness compare between the two?
That's the only negative I can think of about the Note 2... brightness is a bit on the low side.
Plus I'll surely enjoy the powerful speakers on the Nexus 6 (not saying that the speaker is bad on the Note 2 'cause it's not).
Brgds...
Had the Note 2 for two years and loved it. Upgraded to the N6 on Christmas Eve and haven't missed one thing about Note 2. Definitely a huge improvement. I never used the multi screen on the Note so I don't miss features like that. Pure android is so much better. It's worth the change just for that alone.
Iphone 4 > Nexus 6
I JUST got my nexus 6 two days ago, straight from an Iphone 4. It is freaking incredible. So glad I upgraded.
