The two phones I would be envious of right now is the HTC One X and Galaxy S3.
I recently held the One X demo/fake unit in my hand and it was nice. I liked how thin the bezel was all around. It was almost all screen. But it doesn't have a removable battery and I doubt with my heavy usage habits it would last me all day.
With the Galaxy S3, it has a 2100mAh battery which is impressive, but a comparison showed that it is similar in size to the Galaxy Nexus, which was too wide for my hands.
The Rezound still has a very nice screen, and a fast dual core that will still be fast enough for a while. Now that I have the extended battery, my phone easily lasts all day even with my heavy use.
So I'm not itching to get a new phone yet. I wonder what the next wave of phones will be like. Then I'll have phone envy.

Im sure by the end of summer most of us will be drooling over some aspect of the new wave of phones.
I agree. The new phones are nice, but the rezound is still better. People think it is an old phone. It may have been out for a while, but it still has specs that beat 99% of the other phones on the market.
Huge envy over the One X. I will be grabbing a variant of it when it hits Verizon.

I won't claim to know someone super in-the-know, but the person I do know has said that Verizon won't be getting a One variant beyond the Incredible 4G, which isn't really a One series phone. I'm hoping she's wrong, but I'll probably be going with a GS3 anyway. 2gb of RAM? Yes please!

I am interested on the GSIII if it has better radios than the galaxy nexus. If it does I will own that phone.

Not me. If I were buying a phone today (and it were available on Verizon), I'd take the One X over the Rezound... but, thats only because it IS a better phone... To say that I'm envious of it though would be a lie, because the fact is that I am still extremely happy with the Rezound and feel that it hasn't even the chance to show us its full potential yet.
Not envious of any. One X is cool but lack of removable battery blows me. I burn down two extended batteries in one day sometimes.

Man, I never knew how nice it is to have an extended battery. Just not having to worry about battery life is a HUGE plus. Even having a thicker phone is worth it. It makes the Rezound look awkward, but it actually feels good to hold.
Between the One X and S3, I think the One X looks better. But if I were to choose one to buy, I would get the S3 just for the bigger battery. Also, the S3 would probably be more root and S-Off friendly.
From the various article I've read, Verizon will not get the One X, but the S3 seems probable.
P.S. How do you go through 2 extended batteries in a day? I thought I was a heavy user with all my game playing and web surfing. I can still make it through the day with just one extended battery.
The only thing Im jealous about that the galaxy has is aosp. As it is getting harder to get aosp working on HTC phones I may consider Samsung for next phone. I love htc I just home the rezound will get it someday

Verizon has said we're not getting any One variants which is a bummer because I wanted the One S to come badly.
That being said, all my phone envy is on the other carriers.

From what I understand the GSIII will house the same LTE chip that the incredible HD and HTC one series that house the S4 chip.

Tbh I'm up at 6 am, phone off the charger and I'm listening to morning Jams. That's like 40 minutes streaming, then I drive to the subway then get on the train for 30,that's more of me streaming music, surfing the Internet, texting, on uno online. Then I get to work and literally use my phone from 9am to 530. Streaming, playing, netflix and texting. And I have my screen on auto or max. Then I'm back on the bus doing the reverse. Get home, back to streaming and more. But sometimes I work overtime.
Long winded but bam. That's me burning through them.

Just curious to see how former S3 owners are enjoying their Note 2. I'm on the fence right now, the size is not a big deal as I feel I can adapt to it pretty quickly. The bigger screen size and multi view options really interest me. What were the big drivers for you to jump from the S3 to the Note 2? How would you compare the experiences?
TIA
I had the s3 and I'd say it would be like comparing a wrx to the st or z06 to the zr1i. Both are awesome but one is just a little bit better. Bigger, faster, and just overall more awesomer lol. I like playing with the stylus, split screen, bigger screen plus I'm a phone whore so I'm always trading.

Me and the wife traded our GS3s for Note 2s... Love them
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
F'n love it! Battery is incredible (I'd say close to double the screen-on time). Multi window is really cool too, and with root you can get ALL apps loaded in it, where as with stock there were only like 6 apps available in multi window, which made it useless.
I'm actually liking the spen too (writing this post with it). Along with that, I also suggest the flygrip, it makes using this massive phone with one hand not only possible, but convenient and comfortable. It doubles as a kick stand too, which I like to do 180 portrait mode, and it sits firm where you can use the spen and hit menus/home button without it falling over. I actually used it on the S3 until I got my note, and I love it! I switched from T-Mobile to Verizon, so my network is 10 times better now as well.
The S3 is great, and if T Mobile lets me off the hook from my cancellation I'm still going to keep it for an mp3 player etc...but IMO this Note 2 blows it away with just the battery alone...which is crazy because the screen is way bigger AND way brighter. I couldn't even see my s3 if it was a halfway sunny day.
So yeah, you could say I'm a fan

Bigger screen. Faster. Better battery. S pen. Just awesome zero regrets taking my s3 back. Plus I had the "blue" one but the longer I had it the more it looked purple. If size is not a concern, get off the fence and get this bad boy.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, the battery life factor is something I forgot about it. Looks like I'm jumping the fence!
It is so much better! I still have my S3 so I can swap the SIM card and use whichever I chose, but I don't thing I will be using S3 very often. I may just use S3 like an iPod on Wi-Fi
Jump in! I truly loved my sg3... for 30 days I had it..lol. Note 2 came out on day 29 and I dropped by best buy just to see the "Beast" before my return date was up. Took one look and held it.. and that was it. Sg3 was awesome. Fast. Smooth and powerful. Note 2 is just a whole different world. Has completely changed my mobile computing/productivity. Had Droid X and tbolt (sigh) before sg3 so I was shockingly happy with it. But the Note 2 is literally unreal. Good luck and have fun!

Better battery life, brighter screen, 3g radio and signal is much improved(no data drops), gps locks faster, quad core...nuff said!
Wife and I bought s3 from craigslist and had them for 3 weeks then I got an upgrade from a friend of mine who purchased the note 2 . I love the gs3 on verizon but the note 2 is just like others have said, better battery and slightly faster. The gs3 is still a beast and ive recommended most of my friends and family to get the gs3. My wife is slightly jealous so I will probably end up giving her mine for a bit while I sell her gs3 to buy another note 2 full price.

For me it was when Mugen made a 6400mah battery for it. That's more power than my galaxy tab 7.7 which is only 5100mah. I like to read books on my tablet which is painful on my small rezound. I just have to figure on which color, I know crazy. I prefer black to grey, but white is selling for a higher price on ebay( now that's crazy).

I have two mint condition G3's with extra batteries, extra backs and cases (including hyperion extended batts etc) that I want to sell but I'm not sure what they're worth??
I just sold mine last Friday on CL for $350. Probably could have got more but wanted a quick sale. Put it up Thursday evening after getting my N2 , gone Friday.

Its been a rather busy year for me on the phone front. I started the year off with a Thunderbolt, followed up by a Rezound, and then purchased Galaxy S3 in July.
Suffice to say the S3 was the best of the lot. When I got the S3, I thought I had found the promise of Android. Finally the OS had been optimized and I felt confident that I would keep the S3 for at least a year. Then came the Note 2, and a window of opportunity. I had an upgrade that I HAD to use before January (dont ask) and so I sold my S3 on Gazelle for almost 300 and put the order in.
I wont lie, initially and still it feels a little awkward handling the Note 2. Its big, its a lot bigger than the S3. The S3's ergonomics were spot on and like most any well designed phone you tend to forget your holding something. You just use the interface..the body goes away in the interaction. But with the Note 2 I haven't gotten there yet, I am still very aware that I'm working to grasp a device and the interface comes a second later.
There is a slight disconnect because you have to physically accommodate the phone ya know?
That being said there are a number of features in the Note 2 that go a very very long way to making you forgive (and maybe forget) its girth. The screen is just awesome, its the big screen jumbo man TV of the smartphone world. How can you hate that!? If you have any love for tech your drawn to it like moth to a flame. Its stunning. Watching YouTube in bed is like having my 58inch plasma on my chest...MWAHAAH!..I dunno..there's something about that. I dig it.
Also compared to the S3, its faster, the antenna seems to be better, and that has that fancy pen. Outside of that, there isn't much that makes this a giant leap from the S3. For me its really just about the screen and maybe the possibility of having a more capable hacked and overclocked quad core monster after I root it, but that is still a ways off.
Imo its just a bigger s3....I really don't get the big deal of multi view. I have no regrets though. I love it.
Well I just recently traded my note 2 for the HTC one on craigslist no money just phone for phone and I like this phone alot. Did I get better deal.

Depends, did you get a good device, with no faults? I personally wouldn't trade my Note II, but since Note II at the moment costs less than the One, so from that perspective it's a good deal.
HTC One is a faster device with a better screen and better hw

I too came from a Note 2 and I don't regret it at all. The Note 2 is a great phone, but I could never get used to the size. It's a bit of a shock coming back to a smaller screen, but the overall experience is a bit better I think.
I believe you got the better deal.

Just make sure the guy doesn't report it lost or something and it gets blacklisted...not sure if this still happens since t-mobile changed it's carrier plans and stuff
Just make sure you know that it doesn't have a removable battery or a microSD slot.
Haha, jk,
Note advantages are the pen,user replaceable battery,expandable memory card and in every other case the HTC ONE wins.

Do you have anything to comment between the two?
I have a Note 2 and tested the One at a store. I still prefer the Note. I read a lot of news articles and found the Note to contain a tad more information on the screen than the One, despite the lower resolution. Also the fonts are large and easier to read. However the fonts on the One are a tad sharper. The Note also has useful S-Pen features for note taking while on the phone.
Not sure if the One has multi-window features and airview, but I've found those to be useful.
As for the aluminum case on the One, it's nice. But I use cases, and whichever phone is in the case, it'll feel the same.Therefore, the aluminum case advantage gets negated.
I see the S4 to be better than the Note 2, being able to fit the same amount of content on the screen, but in a smaller, easier to handle package. However, given I'm barely through my contract, it's not worth it to pay up for the S4.
For my daily use, I'm not swayed to switch to the One.
I've switched to an HTC One from a Note 2 but the guy who was going to by my Note 2 bailed on me so I currently have both. I've come back temporarily to the Note 2 but I really can't decide which is best.
The feel of the One is so awesone I absolutely will not put a case on it....with the Note 2 it's a must.
The battery life on the Note 2 is amazing but only mediocre on the One.
I have 20/10 vision but I honestly can't tell a difference in screens other than the obvious size.....and at that, can't decide which I prefer.
The sound on the One blows away the Note's.
The feature bloat on the Note 2 is worse than the One but the carrier bloat on the One is worse than the Note's since I haven't rooted and rom'd it yet.
I think Sense looks much better than TouchWiz but I'm using Nova Launcher on the Note 2 to emulate the look of the One.
I absolutely love and miss multi-window and the pop up browser from my Note 2 and I can't find replacements to use on the One.
The faults everyone mentions about the One (non removable battery and no micro sd slot) are really not a big deal to me and the faults everyone mentions about the Note 2 (plastic build and ugly interface) I've remedied with a case and Nova Launcher.
All in all, I'm pretty much on the fence about which I prefer so I just listed both on CL and will keep whichever one doesn't sell.

I can't imagine myself carrying around a nice aluminum phone, dropping it, denting it and scratching it. It will feel like crap with all the rough, scratched edges, and dents. At that point, the Samsung will feel better.

I have 15/20 vision and I can't tell a difference honestly. Post proper calibration that is, before that it looked just okay-ish and obviously would look much inferior with it's terrible calibration. The only place I can tell somewhat of a difference is browsing, it's a bit less sharper - but the size makes up for it IMO.
But yeah, depends on your utility really.

Less awkardy/bulky isn't necessarily a con, people buy it for the size, usually. And some prefer some bulk to the device. Rest, I agree.
Never realized Note II was more expensive though, wow. Thanks for that info! :good:

No case. The One is just too amazing to cover up. A risk? Yes. I feel it's worth it.
As an aside, my wife has a One X that also has excellent build quality. She has dropped it, carries it loose in her purse, and is all around not too careful with it and it still looks great. My Note 2 has been in a case since the day I bought it.
P.S. Back on the One for a bit and I remembered a few of things:
It feels much more premium in hand compared to the Note 2. :thumbup:
It gets warm during use. :thumbdown:
Not all apps are optimized so you get the menu button taking up a lot of screen space on the bottom. :thumbdown:

The One is really more expensive than the Note 2, you can find the Note 2 on CG for 400 if you are lucky but usually around 450. The One actually sells for what T-Mobile sells it on places like CG and Ebay. So yeah, Note 2 has a higher MSRP but in reality, less expensive, it is an older phone so...
I can confirm this as I had both listed and got many more inquiries for the One. Probably because it's not widely available yet.

I traded my Note 2 plus 50 for HTC one in new condition. Was that a good and smart deal? I personally love this phone but was it worth it adding 50$?

I recently just got a N2 a couple months ago and tried to hold out for either the One or S4, but always wanted a bigger screen for entertainment purposes. Once you get used to the size, it's like anything else, however feel spoiled now and don't think I can go smaller now.
Went to test out the One and s4 a week or so ago and if I liked one, put up the n2 on Cl and the like, but neither one could sway me, mostly due to the screen real estate and awesome battery life.
Also for some no sd slot or non removable battery can be fine for them, but is another deal breaker for me. It's so convenient to swap batteries and or get a bigger extended battery and never have to be plugged in. It's so nice as every device I have had that was set up like that I would have to charge in the middle of the day. Hated that!
Also, I can't hardly tell the difference between any of the screens in the One, s4 or n2. Yeah colors are more saturated on Samsung due to touch wiz and Sense it's more natural. Besides that hardly a difference besides maybe more sharpness on the One.
All the phones were blazing fast. Didn't notice any hiccups on any of them.
Drives me nuts you lose screen real estate on the One....
Also, I would have a case on any phone I get, so negates the awesome looking One.
So with that and not really wanting to go smaller in the s4, I will wait to see what the n3 has in store and I know now I am completely content with the N2! It's my favorite Android to date, and had a lot of them.
Not saying the One isn't an awesome device, just not practical for my instance.

I'm sure you know this but the physical size of the screen does not equal more real estate. 1920 x 1080 simply put displays more content, albiet on a smaller physical canvas. 800 x 600 on a 17" CRT looks neat, but a 14" 1600 x 900 is superior, and so on.
I cannot go back (sold Note 2 and selling N4 for the One). Dat skreen and sound.
First off is like to say that I love my note!
I love the development and the community that is in these threads.
But the HTC one just looks so sweet and the specs are great, so I'm wondering if it is worth getting.
Believe me, I bought and sold the s4 within the same weekend so that's that.
Personally I thought the s4 is over rated and desperately wanted my note back after two days.
I also have the HTC DNA that is in waiting to be unlocked
Since it is not rooted, my opinion seems rather bias on the whole sense thing so I try to ignore that fact.
However,
I know no one has the Verizon HTC one yet so it is truly hard to know. But I was wondering what everyone's opinion on this is.
Do you think that you would give up your note for this?
Why or why not.
Thank you all for the input.
I've had thr note 2 and htc one now I have an s4 ! S4 is much better then both if the note 2 had the s4 screen quality I'd have kept the note 2 all day

First off is like to say that I love my note!
I love the development and the community that is in these threads.
But the HTC one just looks so sweet and the specs are great, so I'm wondering if it is worth getting.
Believe me, I bought and sold the s4 within the same weekend so that's that.
Personally I thought the s4 is over rated and desperately wanted my note back after two days.
I also have the HTC DNA that is in waiting to be unlocked
Since it is not rooted, my opinion seems rather bias on the whole sense thing so I try to ignore that fact.

Not that I own the HTC One, but I have really been enjoying the Note II. I don't think it would be worth the change. You'd get nice speakers.. but overall that's all I can think of. The screen and battery make the One look like a Zero in my book! :victory:

Yeah. That's true. The note 2 battery is just insane. But I mean is the HTC bad or is it just decent on battery?

I have seen multiple people claiming their HTC One lasts all day, but it has a 2300 mAh battery pushing 1080p display. So I find it hard to believe, unless they're not using it much. I am really spoiled with my GN2 lasting well into a 2nd day between charges, and I simply could not go back to a phone with less battery life.
I am sure the 1080p display is gorgeous, and it's probably a matter of ignorance is bliss and not knowing what I am missing...but the GN2 display is just fine for my needs. The highest resolution videos that I watch are Youtube "HD" videos. I don't watch Blue-ray rips or any other ultra-HD content, so 720p is adequate for me. And I know this sounds snooty, but I find it hard to watch videos or even look at photos on a smaller phone. Every time someone wants to show me a web page or a funny video, I'm almost tempted to say "hold on, let me pull it up on my phone"
I guess it all depends on your priorities. Do you want the latest and greatest phone albeit with a smaller (but higher res) display? Can you get by without a removable battery? Are you willing to keep a charger handy at all times? Can you live without expandable memory? Those are tough questions...
Only reason I would get an HTC One would be the camera. HTC always uses superior camera optics. But the note 2 is better for me in every other way especially since I have a digital camera if I need a powerful shot anyways. I love my note but the HTC one is really sexy, but I also love sense. Haha

Honestly the HTC One is not really an upgrade. More of a "sidegrade". My girlfriend has it and basically it has better speaker's and a better camera at night. I truly prefer the vibrant oled screen of my GN2 more then the led of the One(not to mention we have the choice to make our screen less vibrant in display settings). She has to keep her phone in battery saving mode to make it through a day. I can leave everything on with high brightness and get though a day no problem. Not to mention that my phone is easily faster then hers because if that stupid battery saver mode. Unless you really cant hang with a 5.5 screen I think you will be disappointed with the switch.

Check the usual gadget & android sites. Verizon confirmed the HTC One will be available "this summer"

Don't even try. I tried . Paid 35 restocking fee and come back to Note 2 in 2 days. The look wears off. Screen gets tired. Battery issue is in the end the biggest thing. The HTC one in my hand can't run the whole day time after full night charge

with regards to your initial question about keeping the note 2 vs buying the HTC one, id advise sticking with your note 2. I havent seen anyone that went from a note 2 to something else without their incessant complaining about the screen size and battery life. Honestly, arent those pretty damn important? But allow me to direct you to a different question..What do you think about the rumored T6? a 6" HTC one, reportedly (among other, more farfetched, rumors) with an SD card slot and a 3300 mah battery. that intrigues me.
There is a sticky to discuss other devices
Hey
Worth buying the device?
Currently I am using iPhone 4S and is a bit outdated to me,
I really like the deviceׁׁ(ONE) in terms of appearance and data and I want to buy the HTC ONE 64GB version from United States ..
Now I question if it's worth to buy this device?
I realized that I had battery problems, is it true? Knock up a battery is ending so quickly? It is also rechargeable're so slow?
What do you say?
ONE knock up a battery of using iPhone 4S better than mine?
my iPhone 4S is loaded faster for me ..
which is better htc one or galaxy s4 ?
i'm glad for true answer ..
I'm really not sure what you're trying to say, if you're asking if the One is worth it then yes it is

It's a great device the front speakers are awesome and are where speakers should be. The battery is fine. I get better battery life than on my nexus 4. It's def worth the upgrade. Especially since we have s_off on this device.

The phone is definitely worth it and battery for me is awesome, better than my friends iPhone 5, we did the same things on it for one whole day and I got about 2 hours more if that's really a difference. lol
There can only be one, the chosen ONE.
...
How long it takes to charge from 20% to 90%, roughly?
I can fully charge is about 4 hours so maybe 20%-90% about 2and 1/2 to 3.
There can only be one, the chosen ONE.
...
This is such an annoying and stupid to do such a battery is loaded slowly and end faily quickly...
I would like to add on to this question if I may, so as not to start a new thread. Does anyone know what versions of firmware and hboot are shipping right now with the at&t version?
My perfect Nexus 4 just to a jump off my car and shattered (sad). I have five weeks to wait for my upgrade and am considering the one, but after having an unlocked device, I couldn't tolerate anything else. I want to make sure its fully unlockable before I buy.
Thanks all.

Like you, I came over to Android and the HTC One from the 4S. IMO, the device is amazing in comparison to the 4S. I haven't noticed any battery issues but the charging time can depend on several factors such as using the OEM HTC Charger and closing out your apps. I would definitely recommend you give this phone a try.
