I am a current Note 2 owner and I love the phone but it has seemed a big oversized lately. I love the S pen and all the features it has but its getting hard to overlook the size thing. Any note 2 owners regret the change? I might attempt trading on craigslist for mine but just wanted some input.

I just miss the Note 2 Roms but that will come with time. SG4 just works a little better for me. I probably will still try the note 3 if it's not any bigger then the 2.

I miss the big screen, but not the overall big size. Too bad you can't have one without the other.
As for the s-pen I never even got around to messing with on the Note II besides I still have a Note 8 if the urge to check it out crops up.
I am a former Note 2 owner and still have the plan was to sell for some of the cost of the S4 but I cant bring my delf to sell it I love how big it is and gaming on it is great as well I love the S4 for sure its a amazing device but its in another level than tha Note 2. I miss the most thw size of it but that is why I got rid of it to as said by others before

seriously if its any bigger than the note 2 might as well just get a Nexus 7 with 3g and turn that into a phone. Note 2 is cool with the S pen and other features cause i really do miss the stylus days from like the HTC Mogul and other phones like that but screens as big as the the S4 its like perfect size and everything. Any bigger and i would go back to the SIII easily.

I miss the screen size...but not the overall size.
The S4 is every bit as fluid, has a little better screen and is certainly easier to manage in the hand.
Screen is brighter. Colors are better.
My hearing sucks and I miss the loudness mods on the Note 2 which helped with the alarm clock in the morning. The S4 hasn't failed to wake me but somehow I don't trust it just yet
Camera is definitely better on the S4 and that's a big plus for me.

I sold my Note 2 for $440 on ebay. It was also mint, spare battery and cheap charging dock. Easily paid for the S4. And as others have said, I miss the screen size but not the phone size. It never really bothered me, but every now and then I'd wish for a slightly smaller phone.
I do like the res bump. The Note 2 seemed a little S2 like to me. I also had an S3 so comparing those two side by side made the Note 2's screen look slightly cartoonish like the S2. It's definitely faster, and just running Shabby's kernel with the frandom mod on the Slim ROM, it's that much quicker.
You can also throw a decent case on it and it still feels a ton smaller than the Note 2. I have an S-Pen with the Ativ, and for taking notes and such, it makes much more sense on a larger screen.
So the more I readjust to a smaller screen, the more I'm confident in my choice. I'd still much prefer a slider and an S3 slider would have me ditch the S4. I much prefer working in Docs To Go with a real keyboard.

Two days in I've been very happy. I loved the Note2 but trying to carry it at work caused a headache because of the size. I'm figuring I'm more in love with the software and using a single hand :laugh: so everything is great so far.

So far, I am pleased with the original Note..... But a few quibbles I've noticed: It's a little jerky at times (not nearly as smooth as wife's GS3 running same OS)..... I figure it must be because only 1GB of RAM... Also on wifi calling it doesn't always hang up the phone and on occasion, hasn't let me answer an incoming call either.... Maybe jellybean will fix some of these issues? (assuming we get jellybean). Overall I'm pleased and am glad I did not wait for the Note 2 (screen will be too narrow IMO) I like surfing the web in portrait mode

Down load NoLED from the Play store. No root needed. Works great and I say even better than the LED that comes with the S3. With NoLED you know exactly what you missed.
When I first went to capacitive buttons from the HD2, I had thought that I missed them. Then I got the S3 and I knew instantly I missed the capacitive buttons.
Give NoLED a try and I think you'll be happy.
---
I do wish the Note did some of the things the S3 does: Like video previews and HDR photos in the camera options. I know there are other apps that can do that but I like the stock of it.
The one thing I was extremely glad that Note doesn't do vs the S3 is the gallery previews. The S3 gallery shows every picture in a tile mode like preview, the Note shows them in a group mode preventing embarrasing moments if some one looks at your gallery.
LOL..... I hear you rosedog.... Hey not to change the subject (of videos/photos)..... But I downloaded "Dice Player"..... enables a smaller/floating video player window over top of what app you're running (just like the stock capability of the GS3).... It works pretty well, too

Have you found an SPI belt that will fit the Note 2? My buddy just got one, and said it's tight on his Galaxy S3. All of the ones I see on Amazon say size "small".
I haven't got the note 2 yet as they are not in stock in my area.
They make a large pocket version of the spi belt. They actually gave me the larger one for free because they made the mistake of sending me the smaller one when I asked for the large one.
Edit:
I have a pre-order note 2 case from last week. I just tried putting the note 2 case in my large pocket spi belt and it fits no problem.
It definitely will not fit in the regular size spi belt.

Debating the S4 and Note 2 for my next upgrade.
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda app-developers app
I'm happy with mine. It's a learning curve coming off a long line of HTC phones, but the S4 is a great phone.
I've never used a Note 2, so can't comment on that.
I had a note 2 and at times I prefer a smaller phone. I tried the HTC One and it was to small. S4 seems just right. If you can might want to try and wait out for the Note 3.
Love since after the update just wish this keyboard was better. I like the stock keyboard but it is terrible to type on for me anyway.

I had the same decision to make and overall, size of the phone made my final decision for me. I already have a Nexus 7 tablet and I just didn't see the point in having a 5.5" phone. 5" is probably the largest I'd ever want to go on a smart phone.
Overall I'm extremely happy. This is the first smart phone I've had where I'm in no rush to move away from stock.
Went from Single core ---> Dual core ---> Quad core. Oh yes, I'm very satisfied. :beer:

I've had both and while I'm really loving the S4 I definitely miss the larger screen of the Note II. I have small hands but I was starting to get comfortable with the size of the Note II when the S4 came out and I jumped ship.
Basically I'd say you can't go wrong with either.
I'm really liking this phone. It does come with quite a bit of bloat from Samsung and Sprint. I installed ForceROM 1.0 which has all of that gone. I upgraded from the E4GT and it's a HUGE difference. I love the 1080p screen and 1.9Ghz quad core. Tons of power in a little phone.

Both are gr8 phones, and the only difference really comes down to the screen. Internals are the same. The g2 also has ois camera. Bigger curved screen on the flex, but its 720p. Still looks good, and believe it or not, the more runtime, the better it looks. I think the flex runs faster in everyday use, prolly because it does alot less processing for graphics because of the lower resolution ...
I have a G2 and Flex on T-Mobile but I don't think the carrier matters. You can't go wrong with the G2 or Flex but I'm 95% sure I'm selling my G2 and keeping the Flex. The main reason is the Flex battery life very good and it "wow's" me with the curved screen + it just seems a tad faster/smoother. I don't think the resolution difference in screens is as big as deal as people make it out to be. Both screens are sharp. I think the camera's are pretty similar. I will miss the G2 development but I think the Flex will be ok with time. I won't miss the echo bug that most KitKat Roms had with the G2. lol Just depends if you want a big phone or not.
The S5 is coming out soon and the G3 I think is around the corner as well.

Congrats. What phone did you have before?

I just got the Flex and starting to use to see if it can be my daily driver. So far the screen isn't as bad as some people have stated. However, I'm just on day 2.

I came from the galaxy s3 on att and about the screen. I've noticed a few things that I didn't like about it for instance after texting someone I can still see the keyboard after I've put it away of a few seconds and I'm on day two the girl at the att. Store said if I don't like it I can take it back before. 14 days

That issue should get less pronounced the more u use it, atleast it did on mine. I think its an inherent issue with it being first Gen poled (plastic oled)
I see it going away slowly but surely now I'm thinking about rooting my phone what do y'all think

I've had both. The G2 is awesome in everyway. I had mine with the flex rom for a while. Now i have the real deal. Wont go back. Pick up the G Flex
Sent from my LG-D959 using Tapatalk
Both great phones. It's easier to recommend the G2 since its smaller (although a big phone itself).
But it comes down to preference and some compromise. The G2 is excellent, has great battery life, has a great display, has a great camera with OIS, is easier to handle with one hand, has more development, is cheaper.
The Flex is more stylish (in my opinion), has a better battery life, has a curved display, shoots 4k videos and has a self healing back.
On paper the G2 wins to be honest. But the G flex is great cause it is something different with its curved display, is a big phone for those who like big devices and has the best battery life of any phone. It's easier to dislike the G flex than disliking the G2 cause of the 720p and its big size. Me I prefer the G flex cause I love the curve. If this phone wasn't curvy I wouldn't even consider it.

Its what attracted me to it. I loved my note 3 and i thought this phome would be too big. I was wrong. Feels better in the habd than the note 3

The Flex has turned out to be a pretty good device.

I watched the whole presentation again this year, I'm mainly tempted by the updated gear 2 and the camera. Any one else?

nope, the xperia Z2 looks much better, honestly.
The new S5 is such a huge disappointment.
Samsung has, really, be come like Apple. Peddling the same thing every year with minor enhancements

Still haven't seen anything to take me away from the x. Surprised actually.

Samsung S5 is old people phone Private mode, kids mode for your grandchildren Camera sticking out OLD, but not for huge Nokia camera + backside looks like old case, that was attracting to the eyes and a HEART MONITOR? Why? Old people will really like that, phone + heart monitor, 2 in 1

No. The S5 still has Samsung's Touchwiz monstrosity and it still looks a bit cheap. The camera does look amazing, I'll give it that. But after having the Moto X running (mostly) stock Android, I can't imagine going back to a skin like Touchwiz.
Whenever I had an s4 I just hit it with cm, we'll have to see if developers can use the fingerprint hardware
Sent from my XT1056 using xda app-developers app
No. It has TouchJizz, ugly dimpled back, 5.1" screen, and physical navigation buttons.
The battery size is attractive, I must admit.
F*** the s5.... I agree with the new z tho that things nice but I'd rather keep my X
Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk
My initial impression of it is not good, but I'll wait for reviews and a chance to play with one before making final judgement.
The Z2 blows the S5 out of the water.
Nothing Samsung has tempts me (awful company).
No

What he said.
Are you kidding? It's bigger and uglier than the s4, the stock ROM is supposedly 8gb, there's no innovation, the fingerprint scanner is basically unusable with one handed usage, still uses a pentile screen, new touchwiz looks as bad if not worse than the old one etc.

Good luck with Knox.
Not even in the least. If anything, a terrible phone like that makes me love my X even more.
It reminds me of a Note.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
I don't see anything coming out or announced that would make me leave my x this year.
I would be more tempted to check out a new iPhone than anything Samsung is putting out these days. I just can't stand the look of their phones anymore. I had an S3 and the S5 looks pretty much the same in terms of design. same dumb home button, same obnoxious backlit buttons, same clusterfudge of features that do nothing for me and never will.
Its gonna take a really really great phone to get me to throw away my custom made, beautiful piece of technology.
