It depends, what is the current phone you have?

I heard in Korea very few people buy LTE edition, because it's very expensive to use LTE there, and the CPU is an A8. The phone with LTE is about $50 cheaper with 32GB memory.

I said I have the Samsung Galaxy Tablet 7"
Love the size of the 7", especially in the car. Great for navigation.
But the display is not a crispt as the current phones, like the Prime.

Moved To AT&T Note General​
Please Post all AT&T threads in that section please!​

Yes, the Note has a much better display than a Tab 7--the Note is a 1280x800 AMOLED, while the Tab 7 is a 1024x600 (-ish, someone correct me if that's not exactly right) LCD. AMOLED screens have brighter colors (though some complain of oversaturation) and better contrast than LCDs. The higher resolution of the note will usually make small text easier to read despite the smaller size of the screen.
If you want a direct upgrade to your Tab 7, though, what you want is a Tab 7.7. The 7.7" tab has a 1280x800 Super AMOLED+ screen (i.e. full RGB subpixels, not RGBG PenTile like the Note), and is overall the sexiest thing since sliced bread, if you are willing to shell out for it.

Samsung Galaxy S III to feature 4.8-inch display

http://www.bgr.com/2012/02/25/samsu...ceramic-back-with-simultaneous-global-launch/
ALLEGEDLY
still too small after having my note for a while now
If the rumor of simultanous launch is true, I'd gladly skip the GNote. The 4.8" screen is perfect for me, comparable to GNexus's 4.65", both without physical buttons. I'm sure the screen will be Super AMOLED Plus HD. Anything less doesn't deserve the GS3 name.
I was actually all set to pull the trigger on the GNote today until I saw this. I live the size of the GNote, but really wish it was a quad core. Also for someone that goes through as much battery as me through a day (almost 2 full batterys on my skyrocket a day), I didnt want the hassle of taking the back off the phone constantly since people on here have implied it being very difficult. Might just do GS3 until the Note 2 comes out
If everything in that spec list is true.... I'm getting one.

I care a lot less about screen size than I do screen resolution. 1280x800 or 720p would be fine - anything less is useless on a screen that size. It'll be interesting to see how it stacks up with the Note.
Also, I want to say I read that the photo in that article is a discredited 'shop-job, but I'm not sure. Having zero bezel around the edges of the phone would make it awfully difficult to hold and not create mis-clicks.
I'm pretty sure that's photoshop job but thin bezel is not new. HTC has two 4.7" phones with thin bezels, one for WP7, one for Android. None are being called too big by any reivewers
Gnote us the best phone sometimes its just best to get what u what instead of trying to keep up cause there will always b a better phone at the rate we r going

That's is a very subjective matter. I tried multiple GNotes at AT&T store. It certainly feeled sluggish in stock form compared to my GS2 in stock form with a lot of apps installed. GNote could have benefited a lot with a much beefier processor than the S3.
Interesting article. The ceramic and size info is indeed new and I have not heard any of that from my source
Right now we are expecting
4.65 hd screen and a new dual core, not quad.
I will poke around and see if I can find more

These supposed spec leak articles are a joke, designed to drive traffic to those site. They just speculate on the incredibly obvious. What phone hasn't come out with a slightly larger screen, a bigger processor,a better camera more memory etc. Its a given that if you wait another six months you will always find a "better" device. "Super AMOLED Plus HD"..lol.

Mr.Ed,
I wonder what happened to that Skyrocket HD (a.k.a Galaxy S2 HD LTE in Korea)? If this rumor is true about the launch, it makes no sense to release the Skyrocket HD at all. So, if there is no upcoming release schedule for Skyrocket HD, we can assume GS3 is coming to US this summer.

According to a leaked AT&T road map, the skyrocket HD is suppose to be released at the end of Q1.
I'm not gonna get too excited about it at this point. I'm not too ready to move on to the next big thing, specially if it has a smaller screen. I just moved from the streak to the Note, and on paper this is about twice the phone that the Streak was. However in actual usage it's not that much faster, and in some cases more choppy.
It's a better phone, don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that there's no point in waiting forever. There will always be something better on the horizon. And the Note meets my needs perfectly right now, and probly will for the next year

I doubt that one (probably imported from Korea) will have AT&T compatible LTE bands.
After getting used to the Note, I wouldn't want to downgrade to a smaller screen. I love how everything is huge on the Note. On my GNex, everything looks stupid small in comparison. I'd rather wait for the Note II with Exynos 5250.

Look at all the hype the Galaxy Nexus/Nexus Prime was getting just to find out you couldn't expand the memory, only went to Verizon, etc etc.... I messed with Note a day or so ago and it wasn't as bulky as I thought. I was more curious about development issues. The Skyrocket and the Hercules (i727 & T989) are basically the same phones so from the development side there are more behind them. Not sure if an SIM unlocked Note can work on T Mobile or if T Mo is going to offer the Note at all.

Do you have a link for the Note 2 or is it mostly just talk as of now?
I'm most interested in the ceramic back. If it is durable, I think that could create a really interesting new path for Samsung in terms of design. I can just imagine a smooth, matte finish feel that would feel super sexy and high quality. Not that Samsung hasn't achieved high quality design using their plastics, but I would be really excited to see what they could do with some other materials seeing as they have really proven that plastics can be used to create a rock solid device.

Is it worth upgrading to the Galaxy s3?

I really like my note because of the gorgeous screen but Im thinking about possibly upgrading to the s3 but is it worth it?
Specs wise, S3 is not much better, correct?
Is quadcore worth the upgrade? I heard that the battery life for s3 is pretty good. The battery life for ghetto note is not too impressive.
So what do you guys think?

This falls into the shiny category.
The S3 is new, but has some dev work explosion atm. The note has a huge screen and spen.
Go anđ try a smaller screen for a while, you'll get annoyed quickly.
If you are going to get the S3, import it, as lte in canada isn't really anywhere significant.
I would stick with the note and wait for the note2 or whatever replacement some big dog lets loose.

Sell me your Note if you upgrade!
well i bought my note mainly for the size of the screen
anything less than 5.3 is not an upgrade for me
since you already have a note, all new phones that come out have the advantage of using the latest technology. once you get the s3,in 3 month,something better, maybe even a note 2 might release..... see where im going?? The only advantage is the screen: most new phones have the technology,most dont come close to the note screen size though. Like the 2020 iphone might fly in the sky on its own, but still doubt it will have at least a 5.3" screen (since they only make one phone and it has to appeal to ALL of its users)

I might could work up a "upgrade frenzy" for a Gnote II since, by the time it would be ready for market, it should be ready to intergrate enough new tech with even a sweeter 5.3" screen to make it too enticing to ignore. Until that day arrives, I plan on teasing as much pleasure from this gspot. ..(damn spell check),um er, from this gnote..as can be had by mortal man...... : ) ....

Xperia V. Not out yet though I believe but soon. It will be missing some features but Sony usually has some of their own to make up for it sort of.
The LG Optimus G as well. The screen is almost as big but it's small for such a beast. Probably the same size as a 4.3 inch phone. Probably because it uses on screen buttons.
Another vote for Galaxy S2. Tons of good ROMs and developer support. 4.3" screen makes it easier for one-handed use.
GSG2 resolution isn't nearly as nice though. Ppi way down on the s3 if I remember correctly

Honestly, go for the LG Optimus G. Quadcore Qualcomm S4, 2gb, LTE, higher than HD screen, 13 mp camera all of that into those dimensions somehow.
4.7 mm shorter, 1.7mm less width, and 0.1mm thinner. Not sure if that is small enough for you but that is a noticeable size difference except in thickness, where the GS3 is already thin enough.
Oh, no. Don't go for the S2! After using the HD display on the S3, you won't be able to use the S2. Trust me.
I would have suggested the Galaxy Nexus but I recently discovered that it's only 1mm shorter than the S3. It's not quite as wide, though.

Xperia T is pretty cool and its performance is just as good as the S3.Only downside you will find is the screen,even tho it's HD but it got bad viewing angles and is kinda reflective...Not to mention that AMOLED got more vivid colors and better blacks.But the xperia T got Bravia engine so pics and videos will look better on the xperia(but it's just an image processing chip so it only works in videos and images).Other pretty good option is the galaxy nexus,it's more compact than the S3 while performing as good since it's a nexus phone but you won't get an sd slot and the camera isn't quite impressive.

I have the pocket as a backup phone and it's frustratingly slow. A lot of features, but hardly any development on custom roms and comes with android 2.3.6.
Don't think of it as a small replacement for the S3.

Samsung NEEDS to make an S3 mini for those who want a smaller device with uncompromised specs. Look at the iphone 5, it fits so much tech in so little size. I have said it before that samsung is really missing out on lots of customers due to size of S3, S2 is not an option for those looking for a flagship phone. Galaxy nexus isnt either and it's not that much smaller to begin with.

Much smoother, the cpu/gpu is a big upgrade.

If we're to believe Samsung Display, the display arm of Samsung, which is actually a desperate company, there might not be a Note 3 as we know it. They're replacing both the Note 2 display, as well as the S3 display with a 1920x1080 4.99 inch panel this year. This according to Anandtech. I suppose we could see a curved OLED touting Note, but then again, flexible OLED yield isn't supposed to be good enough for production runs til 2014.
Unless they're keeping the display a secret, this is what most would expect. This doesn't mean that they'll have some other type of offering or combination to allow SPen functionality on say....the S4, but I wouldn't personally design a new chassis around an S4 and call it a Note.
I'd definitely choose the S3 at this point. The Development support will last significantly longer than it will for this device. Isn't it the most popular Android device ever? That is to say, more users often means more ROMs, the pressure to update and develop for it will be higher.
Since were not talking about an upgrade, its a no brainer.
But if you had to use an upgrade, or pay more than say....50-100 bucks (personal figure) I definitely wouldn't do it. A new generation of SoCs is just around the corner. Just as well, the GPU is much more powerful on the S3, but app support and UI/general performance isn't too much better now that we have 4.2 AOSP. And while an official JB is probably a couple months out, but it will bring most Note2 features home for us.
That's the current sitrep for both devices.

Personally I love my note and it's plenty fast with the stable roms out there. My gf has a S3 and it's a nice device and I can really see the appeal but it really depends on WHAT you plan on doing with it. I remote into computers and my home network. Work on servers all from my phone so moving to a smaller screen isn't what I'd do. It has the horsepower to show up plenty of phones and though it's a gen old with older hardware, I kept my 86 toyota camry longer than I've had this phone and THAT was a piece of crap.
But again it's all about needs and wants. If you feel that you need the faster phone and are willing to loose the screen size, I say go for it.

Agreed, with new phone announcements coming up soon it doesn't make sense to upgrade for any form of currency, but in a straight trade, it might be worth it.

The 6.3 is actually VERY interesting.
1) It will be most likely bigger than Note 3 screen size and is lower resolution.
2) 720P is more than enough for me and with 3200 battery and dual core processor means amazing battery life
3) It is PLS LCD, and hands on review is very positive. I personally always preferred LCD's color accuracy over pentile AMOLED's bluish whites
4) Unconfirmed: It is supposed to be Exynos A15, same processor in N10, which is flat out amazing
I have no use for the S-Pen, if this is $200 cheaper than Note 2 and is available on AT&T it is a winner.
Too bad I doubt we will have this for AT&T so will most likely have to do Note 3 . . .
Doesn't AT&T have similar frequencies to the rest of the world?
I'm interested in the 6.3, to use on a TMobile phone plan OR an AT&T tablet plan (might not be recognized as a phone). I love my 7.0+ but these would pocket carry a little easier. I'd consider selling that and my i717 and getting the 6.3 to go with my S2 (still love that thing!).
The 5.8 does look a little bleh but the 6.3 might be what I always wanted- a compact cellular tablet. They both look a lot better than that Galaxy Grand/Samsung Galaxy Player with a radio thing.
Better to wait and see what specs the note 3 has to offer. I think witch ever mega sells the best will be size of note 3 Testing the waters.

I don't get that theory though, not many people are going to want a phone with a qhd display in this day and age.
Just speaking in terms of size. I'm sure total specs of the famous (or infamous) note line will be much better

Since the note first launched its outspecced the flagship galaxy phone of its generation. I'm really hoping the US note 3 gets the new exynos and a non pen tile screen.

I've read in a few articles that note 3 might come with the octa core if can iron out the LTE.

Im compairing the Mega 6.3 with the Hauwei Ascend Mate 6.1, on specs the Ascend wins hands down, but still not sure as 3rd party roms might not be developed for the Ascend, a 4050mah battery is awesome too and its waterproof, quad core and 2gb of ram!!!, this is a difficult choice at least i've got 4 weeks to decide.
The Mate also looks to be pentaband.
