you guys think the price of galaxy note will drop in the upcoming weeks? It is around $600 now and I was wondering whether I should wait little longer so may be the price drops?

thank you for replying. I got one on ebay brand new+s pen holder kit+ag screen protector for $565...seems like a good deal to me hope decing picks up here
The price will drop when they start building them with cheaper components. This happens with pretty much all devices.. they launch, then they start looking for cost savings in the manufacturing process (which often results in an inferior device). When they've got the manufacturing process considerably cheaper (and new "better" devices are out) the price will fall. But the Note you get two years from now likely will not function as well as one of the first ones before they started cheeping out on parts.
Who knows man. One could only speculate. Within a couple of months it will drop a little. The international Version has held its value However. I would speculate this device holds its value as well as any smart phone can. It will be sought after much like an iPhone is.

Really? You must be kidding. The parts won't change. And no one will be buying a Note in two years. They go stale in six months. I am biting my tongue and trying hard not to flame. Gesh!!!
I'm guessing the price may drop a few weeks after MWC and new phones are released. Typically, it seems that once new phones come out, older ones get a price drop (Not that the Note is an "old" phone!).

I'd love to know your source of information that they will change components. They do not.
I didn't say no one would buy them after six months. The technology is outdated almost before they begin production and sales will drop off. You said two years and I can guarantee that no one will be buying these in two years. The iPhone market is totally different from the Android market so you are comparing apples and oranges. No pun intended.

True, but this is a BRAND NEW device. I'm willing to bet it wont reach $199 on contract for another 6 months.
I think the mighty Note will be relevant for as long as its the biggest phone on the market...or until Samsung makes a newer model of it....nothing comes close to this monster.... newer, sleeker and SMALLER phone can come out and "wow" others, but I love my Note and until something bigger (which right now I have a hard time foreseeing) AND better, The Note is here to stay
You can get it for 150 on contract now, buy out contact and have one for less than 500.

True story, I sold an iPhone 3GS for $180 a couple months ago. This was after I see people on CL putting them up for $220 - 250. Ridiculous what people pay for an iPhone nowadays.. even one as old as the 3GS.

Some background on this video...
How these guys in Vietnam manage to do it is beyond me. Tinhte.vn has done it yet again. They have managed to get hold of the Galaxy S3 and did a short video of it, in HD and posted it on Youtube where it went viral before it was pulled down.
Since then, a number of reposts have been made by other parties which makes taking the video down more difficult if not impossible. Tinhte published the first unboxing of the iPad 3 (or new ipad), it was also the first website to come up with the white iPhone 4 with 64GB.
The video shows a phone that appears to be a variant of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus with a similar system memory capacity, display size and resolution and OS. The onboard storage stands at 16GB, there's a quad core Samsung Exynos 4412 processor clocked at 1.4GHz, NFC, an eight megapixel camera and a 2050mAh battery.
This matches some sources which said that the Galaxy S3 would be an incremental improvement over the Galaxy S2 rather than a radical change.
The new phone appears to have dropped the slight bulge at the back and opted for a flat smartphone, certainly as a result of the case brought again Samsung by Apple over claims that the S2 was the thinnest phone in the world.

Meh. The video doesn't really reveal anything we didn't already expect. Plus, the phone is disguised in a generic case, so we can't see what the real design is going to look like.
The 2050mah battery is an improvement, but not what we need. We need something similar to the 3300mah battery in the Razr Maxx. Especially if it's not removable.
At this point, the only thing that will make me interested in buying this phone is if it ends up being bezel-less, and that is looking unlikely.
Why is this here?
And if those specs are indeed the real specs, Im glad Im jumping to the One X. The AT&T version will probably put in a Snapdragon processor for LTE (because every new smartphone has to have LTE now) and it wont have NFC due to AT&T pouring money into Isis. Incremental update indeed.

Damn straight!
I'm really torn on what to do. I got my GS2 on the 9th so the One X release date is well within my 30 day return window. But to be honest, I'm sick of Sense and really had my heart set on the GS3.
I suppose the financially prudent thing to do is get the One X so it will have the best resale value should I have an incurable boner over the GS3.

I knew the next batch of super phones was on the horizon and the One X would hopefully be out before my 30 days was up. The GS2 is such an upgrade over the Amaze, this is almost like new hotness to me.

did you guys not hear that was not the actual case the GS3 is going to be using? It's just a dummy case.

I say in a year and a half our phones will have 2 to 2.5x the power and capabilities we currently have - but I'm willing to bet batteries won't improve for 3ish years.
These things will be able to replace laptops and desktops through docks or projectors and better use of connected peripherals like virtual keyboards and wireless mice.
I'm betting 3.6-5ghz processors, 100-200gb space, faster/instant networking, full mobile gpu's and hacking will be more prevalent maybe even problematic to society.

What, exactly, does this have to do with the Galaxy S II?
For the last few months I was all hyped up for the S3, followed all the news/announcements etc. I justified the few weaknesses the phone has by the fact that there is nothing else better on the market and probably won’t be for a while.
I was ready to buy as soon as it landed in the UK. Now I can’t get the colour I want (blue) probably for weeks. And Samsung have gone and announced other markets will be getting 2GB of RAM.
Now I’m not so sure about entering into a 2yr contract for a phone that has ALREADY been superceded. Yes, I know the S4 chip isn’t as good as the Exynos, but realistically am I going to notice a slightly better chip, or twice as much RAM on a day to day basis. We all know the answer to that, it’s the same for any computer.
Other manufacturers are going to want to best the SGS3, and even Samsung itself will likely announce a Note with a better chip and 2GB of RAM later this year.
So why should I buy the S3 now, with only 1GB, which many smartphones have had for over a year? Is this phone realistically going to last me the duration of a 2yr contract? My last phone has only just scraped it’s way to 18mths, and I’ve wanted to replace for a while now since the performance is no longer acceptable – despite all the ROM flashing and tweaks to squeeze every last drop out of it.
Please discuss. Convince me.

Yes, this is true. I don't want to wait any longer, but at the moment I'm being forced to, and every day I do wait more and more voices in my head say "Just wait for the Note 2, or just wait for the Nexus"!!
As for selling the GS3 later, well it will probably only be worth about £250 in 6mths time, so I'll have to find another £250 from somewhere to buy a new phone...
then when you get to the time when the new Note comes out the voices in your head might say wait a bit longer when the new phones a few months after might come out..and that is how the cycle goes on..get the phone mate.. it is good...development will be huge and well it will be worth spending the money on
Yeah, but the Note and the Nexus will be perfect! SAMOLED Plus screens and 2GB RAM is all I want on top of the SGS3....
F*ck it, you're probably right. And if I had the phone in my hand now then I probably wouldn't care as much as I do,cos I'd just be enjoying it.
Damn you Samsung, how the hell did you **** up the launch of your biggest phone ever?? Just give me my blue SGS3 NOW!!

U will never buy a phone
I get that it's not a Nexus 4 and it's around $100 more off contract. I also get that the GS3 has more brand awareness, but this is a really awesome phone. I actually think the LG skin is good and adds a lot of functionality over stock Android.
I have a GS3, Note II, iPhone 5, and Lumia 920. This is my favorite phone out of all of them. The screen, feel in the hand, speed, and software touches make it almost a perfect device. Battery life has been good and my only real complaint is that the camera could have been better.
So what's holding it back? Marketing? I know LG has stumbled in the past, but this is not one of those times. I honestly probably wouldn't have even thought to buy the phone if not for the article about Consumer Reports rating it above the iPhone 5 and GS3 in customer satisfaction. I had to see what it was about and fell in love with it right away in the store.
As it stands, I couldn't recommend this phone more highly to people on AT&T who want an Android phone. I would definitely recommend it over the GS3, and that's saying a lot. The lack of activity in these forums, along with the sparse development tells me that it's definitely not getting into enough hands, and that's unfortunate.
LG's has a rather tarnished reputation as far as smartphone is concerned, they've had long lines of disappointing and mediocre mid-tier releases over the years plus poor record of software updates. Even with a phone like OG, it's going to take awhile to reboot their image.

I've not been a great fan of LG until this phone. I briefly considered that 3d camera phone from 2011 on AT&T that LG made, but ultimately chose the SII (and I made the right choice; I was one more f-ed up phone from buying an iphone). This phone impressed me in reviews and in stores (the demos blew me away). I chose it against the SIII and the One X and other flagship phones due to it matching what I wanted. I loved most of the SIII, but I hated that it had a physical home button. The one x seemed nice, but I didn't like non expandable storage and an unremovable battery. The only thing I had against the LGOG was the battery being built in; however, everything else about it sold me. I feel that LG has finally made a phone worth it (2 phones counting the Nexus), and have the potential to beat Samsung. However, this is an uphill battle for LG. I personally have known people to pick the SIII just because Samsung is the most widely known. LG will have to fight against that in order to be purchased. Plus, people are more impressed by expensive phones, and sometimes buy the expensive ones because they assume those are the best. I really think that that, oddly enough, is also contributing to the LGOG having slightly lower sales numbers.
Tl;dr
LG has a fight with Samsung due to name recognition, and price drops may have had a negative effect. Many customers don't research phones thoroughly, and buy from a certain brand, or the expensive ones (because you get what you pay for).

I'm happy for getting the phone for only $49, but I can't grasp the reason behind the price drop. OG is their only qualified flagship in years yet they are on sale at the price point of low-end giveaways. Granted it's probably just weekend promo but still, I find it odd to lower the price to this range in a non-holiday season.

I think the reasoning behind the price drop is building for the future, if you get your best phone in as many hands possible, the people who by it recommend the brand to others and are more likely to buy lg in the future when its time to upgrade.

I know if any of my friends are looking into a new phone I will put in a good word for the OG. And that is funny because when it came out I originally looked at it and then went "Nah, I still want the One X."
By the time I was able to upgrade, the One X+ was out, at double the price of the OG and I didn't want an outdated phone. Now I'm not saying the One X isn't good, it had just already been replaced by a refresher phone.
I am soo happy with this phone.

Half of the reason I made this decision.
I had a Sony Xperia X10 with an ancient 1Ghz snapdragon and then got an Asus Transformer with a Tegra 2...
So I was impressed more by Nvidia/Tegra at the time than Qualcomm/Snapdragon (I know, completely unfair).
But I had been reading everywhere that the S4 Pro was a beast and much better than Tegra 3s.
I don't like Sense anyways and I would have had a custom ROM, so the multitasking wasn't a big deal.
We have an extra gig of RAM to play with too. :highfive:

Doubt it. If the price stays low in states, doesn't bode well with G launch in Europe, unless LG do a dual tier launch of G & G Pro at the same time, but that's a remote possibility given G is set for March release in EU region.

There's always something else around the corner. The Pro is likely months from hitting the U. S. on any carrier.
In all honesty, I'd still choose the G. I prefer the size and the 200mhz overclock would hardly be noticeable.

In all honesty, I'd still choose the G. I prefer the size and the 200mhz overclock would hardly be noticeable.

Not to mention that 1080p display will require more processing power making the speed difference negligible.

Speaking critically of the android community for a brief second..
As much as people criticize Apple fans for putting too much value in brand name, a lot of Android fans are really overly zealous Samsung fanboys.
I won't say it's a bad brand or that the phones they make aren't nice.. But, taking a stroll to the Android subreddit you will find a lot of rabid Samsung fanboyism.
We hear less criticism of Samsung these days because they are just that popular.. still I remember as though it were yesterday people wouldn't shut up about how cheap the phones felt, how horrible various aspects of touchwiz were..
And sadly a lot of people won't even consider the LG OG because it's not Samsung.. but, if Samsung were to incorporate some of the LGOG features people would rave over it. I can see it now... slipping the LGOG specs and skin into a Samsung shell and hearing people brag and brag and act as though it Samsung were curing cancer.
Outside of that, honestly at $350 the N4 makes a hell of a deal. Even if you had a contract but, would like to keep your service without signing up for another 2 years would be a nice option.
Besides all of that? Well your average customer is told what to buy really. Speaking as a salesman I can tell you, if you don't know what you are buying, I'll be happy to tell you. (Granted I no longer work in sales but, it was a lesson learned.)
Edit: one final thought. I don't care because I'm honestly just that happy with it..... but, we still don't have an official cm10 port and that hurts us big time.
Consider this before buying. No flame intented. I simply was planning to get one myself then changed my mind.

I'm not particularly worried; I actually posted some thoughts about Google I/O earlier today:
http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/10/4209366/a-prediction-for-google-i-o
I'm quite happy with Android 4.1, so I guess it depends what KLP brings, but it's hard to imagine Google bringing anything that would make me want to abandon HTC's awesome camera software (which is one of the reasons I personally prefer HTC phones).
I bought a One XL last year around the same time, and Google I/O didn't make me regret that decision. Besides, this time I'll have a One XL I can mess around with if I want to install CM11 or something.

Precisely. Personally, I feel HTC is on the brink of a huge change, they've already dropped the source code and the phone hasn't even shipped in US yet! Also, it will definitely help to have the same device across several carriers (Even international ones!)
I feel the winds of change wafting from HTC and I must say, I love it.

I am definitely super-excited that the international and NA versions of the HTC One use the same chipset - that was one of the big issues with the One X and One XL last year.
This phone will get key lime pie without a doubt.
The development will be huge for this device

Not to be the voice of doom or piss in anyone's Cheerios but HTC's in a world of hurt. The shipping delay for the One's cost them dearly financially and now its actual availability is going to bump up against Samsung's gazillion dollar marketing budget for the SGS4. Samsung also co-ops heavily with the U.S. carriers for advertising and provides big sales incentives down to the associate level. And if you walk in to a Best Buy you'll be greeted by Samsung's "Experience" sound and light show while a dummy One sits lonely and tethered to an end-cap somewhere next to a "free" LG Phone. With a Nexus 5 possible at I/O, an iP5s and lower-cost iPhone in June, Motorola's "Phone X," a Note III, and LG's 1080P 5" and 5.5" Optimus Pro Plus' all due by fall, the One's going to get lost in a sea of other devices a few months after launch because of HTC's (now even more) limited promotional budget. They have a tough road to hoe and 2013 will determine their future.
Here's an interesting discussion on HTC's current position from the international One forum...

Hmm I just sold my Nexus 4 because I never ever used it. It was never a real upgrade from the Galaxy Nexusnif you ask me. Adding a new processor and 1 extra GB of ram n a shiny back doesn't wow me

I have a canon eos 60D. You might consider buying that if you give the camera such importance.

I'm 99% sure that the next Nexus phone won't be at I/O. Also, the 5s won't be much to write home about. The S models never are.

I believe they will, considering this is HTC's flagship phone.
This is an easy one for me. I'll just keep my Nexus 4 around until I/O. If what Google shows at I/O wows me and I can get it on the Nexus 4, I'll consider selling the One, but DAMN, it would have to be some mind blowing software for me to give up such amazing hardware and go back to a slower processor, worse screen, worse camera, worse speaker, cheaper materials, and no LTE.

It will be. It is 5.0
Got me thinking...
Whole argument is stupid in my opinion. It's clearly cut black and white. If you want immediate updates to current version of android go for a nexus. If you want real hardware get the HTC One. Unless HTC builds a nexus the new one won't be special.
I don't know why people buy carrier subsidized phones then complain when it stays a version behind. The phone company is there to make money. Put on your big boy pants and go nexus or shut up about it. It's really that simple

Could be as well but the Europe price factor is a valid point. The cheapest 6p in Europe is 728$ vs 499$ in US.

I don't think it's a factor at all.
We've been paying a higher price for phones for as long as I can remember, and we've also been paying for Sim-Free Unlocked phones a whole lot longer.
To a UK user like me, the price of the Nexus 6p is cheap.
Only the U.S guys look at our prices and think 'F*** that'
You have to remember that whilst it may seem expensive to you, its £150/$230 cheaper than last years Note 4 for example & even £100/$150 cheaper than last years Nexus 6
When you realise that we have manyyyy phones at much higher prices than the Nexus 6p, you'll understand that the price you consider 'high' - is not considered high at all.

If you have a way to clean the survey results, I'd recommend deleting the one that shows it was ordered on 29 July 2015, as it is an outlier.
#WhiteUIsMustDie, #EndDarkAppOppression
I think we can also safely assume that the ones "shipping" in early October, were really supposed to be early November, especially since three "latest" date orders are before any "earliest" dates.
Are you placing the UK in Europe? Because UK price Euro price is different.
