thanks guys. what about gaming?

i never found any game till today that is not compatible on my phone. even if it is not optimized for exynos, there are ways to play those games as well. like tegra games built by nvidia. i still can run those games on my phone

That phone is absolutely pathetic.It has an extra power saving core,but for what? Nothing.It does nothing.Battery life is really low in it.If you are going to flash roms and such,then S3 might be good.Otherwise,Galaxy Nexus.What i suggest,S3,i have the phone and its great,great battery life,pretty smooth and all that.But if you don't need a quad core and is not a big gamer,then its the Galaxy Nexus,BUT,the Galaxy Nexus has no microSD slot.
Sell it,get some extra money and get a SII if u want a fast phone with big screen resolution and decent internal space (2 gb vs the 180 mb of the SGA) or if u want something more powerful go for SIII definetly.
Both are good phone but if u are a guy who like games with a strong exigency and HD graphics without lags go for SIII,the quad core helps definetly.
I had SII and the experience is relatively bad,dual core 1.2 mHz and games like angry birds space,asphalt,wheres my water still get lags :/

What? Its not 1.2Mhz,its 1.2Ghz dual-core.And,if games like those lag,either you bought another phone or your phone is messed up,because
1.My cousin has a SGS2,they run Angry Birds Rio and such like piece of cake
2.I can play these games pretty smoothly on my SGA,and there would be no arguments if i say SGS2 is 3 times better than SGA

(offtopic)s3-note 2?

i planing to buy a new phone..any suggestion? prefer note 2 or s3...but dun noe which 1 more better..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4238&idPhone2=4854 you should probably go into a store and check note 2 to see if it's size suits you.

I think you should take S3 if you don't need 5.5 inch screen. The hardware is pretty same as in Note II, same gpu, processor(in Note II 1,6Ghz), chipset. Note II has better battery, but with this hardware it can last for max 2 days w/o charging. IMHO if I would change my phone I will probably take S3, I don't need big screens
but note 2 got 2gb ram n s3 jz 1gb ram...tat is what im thinking
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Personal opinion id take the S3 without hesitation.

For smooth i suggest Note2.

Thinking of buying a galaxy note but have a few questions

I'm getting a really good deal on a note. I wanted to know wether the features from note2 have been ported to the orignal note, specially multiscreen. Does the note have enough processing power to run it smoothly?
My friend is on stock ICS and his phone is quite laggy even without too many apps. I did hear the ICS upgrade sucked but I didn't expect this. I wanted to know wether the installing custom ROMs would make the s pen useless?
M considering either note or galaxy nexus... plz help me make this choice!
Thanks

1) Multiscreen is not yet ported from Note 2 to the original Note..
2) I have 100+ apps installed on my Note & I wouldn't say its laggy..
3) ICS upgrade wasn't a flop..it came with lot of features, improved performance, battery life etc etc etc..anyways, within a month or 2, our Notes wl taste official JB..there are already couple of ROMs which were cooked from leaked samsung official kernel & seems to work as expected..
4) Installing custom roms need not to make the S-pen useless..but there r very few custom roms which does not support s pen..
Check out this thread it got some promising stuff about new note 1 JB rom 98% of things work properly
Cheers

If you are thinking on buying the note , go for the second one .
We had no option back when we bought note , but now you can just go for note 2
248 Google play installed apps and a few more from XDA.
Still smooth on stock ICS ROM with hydracore kernel.
But like the other posters, better to just get the new note since you have yet to invest.

Galaxy note prooved to be a success. Initially it was expected to fail hut if u see it as a device released in 2011. It was designed futuristic. It got 3 updates on gingerbread , 2 updates for ics and now will get jelly beans soon and some are saying it will receive key lime pie. Even if the key lime pie update is not official the note gave a good outcome to those of us who owned it from the initial days. I am still ao much in love with my device and i love the s pen. It took out the artist from within me.

Galaxy note is more like a mini tab, note 2 more like a maxi phone as they have different aspect ratio. 16/10 vs 16/9. For multiscreen ot will be ported on Note1 also, I guess, by xda developers. Don't know if it will arrive officially by Sammy

its not important if you just use it for playing games.
For the features and specs, note is really neat if you use a custom rom.. custom roms could boost the speed..
And yes, i have a note.. but its quite laggy when i bought it

Note 2 has more features such as more storage space, an SD slot, LTE, Wolfson DAC.
Nexus 4 is open source, gets faster OTA updates and is also much cheaper.
Personally, I'd get neither because the Note 2 is too large for me (many people prefer its size) and the Nexus 4 only has 8 and 16GB storage which is a joke.
Better to take Note 2..

Note 2
Nexus 4 has no micro SD, glass back and if you watch a video "galaxy nexus vs nexus 4" then you'll see how bad the display is (black has a yellowish tint)
Sent from my GT-I9000
Depends on how much you value software updates. Personally I would rather get the Nexus 4 just for the updates. I am sure that Galaxy Note II will receive CM10 judging how popular this device is, but at the moment I am a little tired of flashing updates manually.
My personal opinion take both of them ... ..=) naa man joking
If you want speed and updates from google buy nexus 4! If you want media and fun and you're a big fan of large screens buy note 2! As i say both of them are really really really gooood so you decide or your pocket

Anyone downgraded from a Note 2

Will I notice much of a difference
I don't use led notifications, hardly play large 3d games, and turn off air view
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I have the original Note and one of my colleagues uses the Note 2, to be honest apart from NFC there's not a whole lot of difference when your not playing 3D games and such that you mentioned, and if you flash the latest leaked 4.1.2 firmware, you get all the features like the Nature UX, Paper Artist, Muliscreen etc.. that the Note 2 uses, so i personally don't think you will notice much of a difference if any at all
Better screen real estate, youll notice that as a benefit of note 1. May be a little more sluggish also, but probably only nano seconds. As above poster sais, the jb leaks offer all the software benefits.

I think note2 doesnt have many differences with note1.the differences is just a quadcore procie,but that useless if you not playing intensiveb3d games right?and now almost all the software based feature of note2 can we see in leaked jb

That's it's O N E thing. It's it worth it for that?
Soon as we have the right kernel we can use swap 2 again to bump up ram. Plus o/c as well.I'm keeping mine and think updating every other model is plenty. It's just blogs paid to make you feel you are missing out which cause the doubts in what you have
From box 13......
Hey the note 2 has better battery management! Better than note 1 for your information. The battery last longer.
