[Q] Galaxy SII or Galaxy Note?

Yo!
So, i'm looking for a new phone to buy but i can't decide between the Galaxy SII (the white one which IMO looks hawt) and the Galaxy Note.
I can't decide if i want a 5,3" screen or 4,3". I know, it's stupid not to go for the 5,3" screen, but i'm not sure on size of the device itself.
What whould you buy? (Btw, is the Note's bootloader open/crackable?)
(Mods, i know i'm in the wrong area with this post, but i want to check what my homies here @ Off-topic think)

Either way your getting an absolute f******g beast of a device....
Not sure if the note would be just that little bit too big for a phone but I havent handled one so I can't really comment...
The white one looks putrid though (jm2c)

Yeah i know! But i've tested the Galaxy S WiFi 5" and it's huge, and the Note is even bigger BUT it's way way thinner, so.. i don't know! But.. but.. just LOOK at that screen!

I've got the S2 and absolutely love it, but I would (after a try) probably swap for a Note if I could, so I voted for that.
Either way mate, like Conan said you're getting a BEAST! Get one of each and then give me the one you decide not to keep

Even tho i think the note is WAY WAY WAY TOO BIG!!!
I voted for it as it is faster

Hmm, looks like the Note will be my new device! The only thing i'll have to do now is to wait...
It's not released here yet.. Booo!

i'd have gone for a Galaxy Note, if they made it for the Tmo USA AWS 1700/2100 network

Yup, i'm super into the Note now after reading Engadget's review and watching a lot of YouTube videos. I must have it! Come to papa!

Either is great but the Note has a Pentile screen so some say white looks green especially whe magnified (Best iimage I can currently find) But either choice is awesome

Because we are talking about a Super AMOLED display and not a Super AMOLED Plus, the display is based on a so-called PenTile pixel structure, where pixels share subpixels. A PenTile OLED panel was recently introduced with the Samsung Galaxy Note, and we were not impressed. In real world PenTile means loss of details and sharpness, as well as a bluish/greenish tint around letters (depending on the background color). See how it looked on the Galaxy Note in the picture below.

Either of them are way better than my current phone (htc wildfire), but if I were you I would get the Note

Galaxy Note for Far!!!!
Note is a DII bigger and with Stylus!!

I don't care about the stylus, and i bet i'll never use it, but that screen... fap fap
But yeah, Note it is! Just have to wait a couple of weeks.

Darn!! Too late for my opinion

Got my Note yesterday. It's awesome and it fits easily in my pocket

Actually, yes it can. Don't know if you've tried to hold it, but if you have "normal" man hands it'll work fine. I can do most things with one hand except writing on the keyboard.
And remember that the Note is only 9mm thick, so it slides easily into the pocket

Where ? I don't see anything for our note 2 (n7100) ?

Looks like all mentioned are not for the Note 2. Remember that the Note 2 is bigger than the original Note. So, if anyone knows of something, please post. I really want to buy, but can't do so until I can confirm there's a good physical keyboard solution (by good, I mean that it cannot be just a separate keyboard...it has to be "attached" so that it can be held and used together with the keyboard and phone).

i read that the physical size of the note and note II are the same they just managed to reduce the bezel in the note II thus resulting in a larger screen in the same size phone

Note 2 is actually smaller because they changed the aspect ratio. OG note was very wide, new note is slimmer. The heighth is the same though.

Ohhh....well that is interesting then. Thank you. Maybe I can just get one that was for the original Note, then, and it would work fine.

nobody is making keyboard cases for Note 2 !!!

The Note 2 (all variants, International and domestic) are both slimmer in width and taller in height than the OG Note.
Pretty much the width that was cut down from the sides were added to the top, to make for a wider screen and more comfortable grip.
I've owned them both to recognize the difference.

Sadly that is for the original Note, and will not work because of the height difference. It seems to be trying to trick people with the listing title.

I'm still looking for a keyboard that I can attach to my GN2. Anyone have any luck?
I did find this ugly POS. Guy was creative though.

NEXUS 5! What do you think? Good choice?

What do you think about the unknown NEXUS 5? I'm going to move him from P970 ...
It is a good choice? I like clean ANDROID and my price limit is $ 512 .. Would you propose a better device with better equipment for the same price?

I am not gonna answer your question since i am not sure whether or not this is a prank thread. Even your budget is dodgy.. $ 512?? what a specific number... Is that 1 buck for every ram in OB?
Anyway i'll give you my opinion about Nexus 5, so that you can make a comparison, on a chance that you are serious about this. Nexus 5 will most likely be manufactured by LG, based on the monster G2. LG is better hardwarewise speaking, but lacks in all other things.
(Off topic it is said that Korean G2 will have SD car slot and removable battery, but international version won't. Another .tupid LG decision. I was searching a replacement from LG for OB, and i came across a phone of theirs which doesn't have "flash". Who puts a camera without flash. As i said best hardware poor everything else)

Lg said the nexus 4 was a success and they dont need another success like it so that hints that theyre not making nexus 5 so they can quit while theyre ahead

Note 3 or iPad Air

Hi there guys. I got a weird problem. Hope you can help me. My contract is expiring and i can have a new gadget though only one. I can either have the note 3 or ipad air, but i'm really confused.
Now, if you are in my shoes, which will you prefer. Please don't base your decisions on my personal needs, but to your personal needs instead. Imagine you only have the Note N7000 and a PC as your gadget currently.
Please choose and state why based on your personal needs.
Thanks guys. Appreciate everyone's help.

That is not a valid comparison.
Phablet vs Tablet?
Reasons for a Note 3:
Customisation (roms, launcher, status bat etc....)
Cellular features that are more than just data (call, text etc...)
S pen (percise stylus good for note taking, doodling and doodling)
Ture multitasking with multi window
Better quality music for audiophiles (Wolfson 3g variant + 200+ dollar headphones ONLY). The Qualcomm version isn't bad just not as good but still better than the iPad Airs out put
Flash support with 3rd party browsers.
13mp camera with LED flash and a set of advance yet easy to use features.
It's non - restrictive meaning you can use your phone as a computer to download all sorts of files even P2P with bitorrents, extract zip + rar, download videos from youtube and extract it on board or simply use it as a USB flash drive.
Sending files over bluetooth
Being able to use your phone as a remote
Micro SD slot to cheaply expand storage rather than $100 dollars per twice the storage.
Those smart gimmicks that are useful like smart rotate and smart stay.
Reasons for the iPad Air
The larger screen 9.7" Retina display (bigger + higher than the 1080p in that of the note 3 IGNORING dpi)
It's a closed eco system meaning more quality control of apps and higher levels of security
iOS user experience will be more constant and smoother than that of any android device especially with the A7 power house.
Apps are generally more optimised so the software takes all the advantage of the hardware
Created a one code one screen size policy so the tablet apps are genuinely redesigned for tablets and it's screen area.
Better GPU in combination of better optimisation means it will be a better performer for graphics such as games thus more future proof
It's 64 bit so some CPU intensive task will perform better
Simplistic approach to UI (as technology was intended to be)
Higher 2nd hand resale value
It Is backed by worldwide hardware warranty no matter where the device was purchased as long as it was on this planet
At the end of the day, it is up to you to decide which one is better for you.

Galaxy S5 Plus announced

Samsung just announced the Galaxy S5 Plus. Bummer I just bought my S5 about 2 months ago.. and literally just bought a Nexus 5 to play around with from the Play Store..
Features a 2.5Ghz Snapdragon 805 (underclocked from 2.7GHz found in Note 4)
Significantly faster memory bandwidth
Upgraded GPU (presumably a Adreno 420)
Faster LTE (advance 300Mbps).
Anyone here tempted to upgrade? Im wondering what the overall performance is like compares to S5 and Note 4.
http://www.neowin.net/news/samsung-reveals-the-galaxy-s5-plus-the-worlds-fastest-android-smartphone

Don't c a need to upgrade any further unless they improve the display and add more ram...And stop with all the dang lockdown on their phones ...if it wasn't for HTC so called ultra pixel camera I would jump to them ..

Do not buy plus phones, they will not be prioritized. Look at the s4 plus and its update history.
