should i buy the galaxy s3 or wait for a new mobile Note2????
Umm depends on which you like?
The Note II was rumored to be a monster performance and S III leave to dust, you might wait. But if you prefer a smaller screen buy the S III.
Thenote 2 is Still at least 5 months away; buy now and enjoy.

Note two is rumored to be in august. If you don't find 5.3 inch screen hideous then you may want to wait. Next nexus will be my next phone.

I think it is not possible to answer the question because every few month
a new generation appears.
If note 2 is released you can also ask: Note 2 or wait for Galaxy Nexus 2,
if Galaxy Nexus 2 is released you can ask: Galaxy Nexus 2 or wait for Galaxy S4 ...
The right time is never found, or buy now or never ;-)
Have to agree. There will always be something new coming out. Get the GSIII. Its an awesome device. You can always sell it if you really want the Note2 when it comes out.

There will always be something a bit better around the corner.
I'd recommend the GS3. Not only is the hardware very good, but because so many people have bought them, there should be plenty of pressure to support the device well, remove any minor residual bugs etc. Enjoy it now.
like people said..it depends on what you prefer. The S3 4.8 screen is perfect for me..fits just nice in my pocket any bigger it wouldnt be that comfortable to carry around when I dont have my bag with me.
I will be certainly getting the Note 2 no matter what<<
The key is you have to know what you like. Would the phone fit your life style. If we all said yes and you bought it because of our vote. You will blame us if you didn't like it afterwards.
If you like to switch phones around, You can always sell and trade.

Contract coming up soon. Do I wait for note2 or go for s3?

I think that if you have patience and you prefer a larger screen, wait for that Note II is going to be the world's best instrument.
Wait for note 2 if you can?

When is note2 out? Any official dates yet??

Wait for the note 3
The Note 2 wille be introduced begin August, available september/october 2012.
IMO the note is just too huge. Plus I will be honest.. I live in NYC and ride the subways with tons and tons of people everyday.. I notice things about them, what phone they have or what tablet or gadget they are using. And honestly... I mostly see women with the note A LOT more than men. I'm trying to think if I have even seen a guy with a note... yes I have like 3 or 4 times since it was released.. but have seen countless women with them. I have a theory about this too.. I think it's because guys really dont want to carry it in their pocket, and it fits perfectly in a purse. lol

Ima Dude, and i will be getting the Note 2........the note fit in my pocket just fine.
i do agree with the purse statement, its the reason i sold my mom on the LTE Note.
I dont know for you actually, but note is way too big for me....
Note 2 will be slimmer and smaller in size than note 1, though with a slightly larger screen.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Guess I will try out the original note in store and see if I think its too big.
Out of interest. Those that are saying go for the note. Is that down to any issues you have with s3? Or just that note2 will have a a better spec?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Bump... What are people's issues with S3? Anything to put me off getting it? Or is it awesome. Would particulary like to hear from people who came from s2 on improvements?
I like the led notification, but what about the speaker, is sound muffled like in s2 when placed flat down?
Did any of you see the commercial of the Note 2? Personally I found it hilarious. I posted this in here since the commercial was about the Note 2.

Not a commercial man myself. I just love my Note 2.
Thanks for the posting the video. Honestly, the commercial with LeBron James sparked my interest in the phone. He's my favorite basketball player. Before you ask, no. I didn't get then phone because he has it.
I got it after about a month contemplating about whether or not I should dump my iPhone 5 for the GN2.

The commercial wasn't about the note 2. It was a generalized Samsung mobile commercial. If you noticed they didn't put any special emphasis on a specific device.

This ^^^. Samsung will always have the "Next big thing". So maybe a new phone in the near future? One can only hope.
Also, "Better call Saul"
The start of commercial was showing off the Galaxy Note 2. It didn't mention it by name but features of the Note 2 were clearly displayed.

They specifically reference an S Pen, and not to mention that is a Note 2 in their hands. While they aren't outright saying "buy the Galaxy Note 2" they are definitely referring to it. I've seen several ads over the past 2 months specifically talking about the Note 2 and using the words the next big thing as a double meaning. Both in that it's a big thing literally, and it's the next big thing to happen to smartphones.
So my upgrade is in a couple weeks. So I'm debating between this phone, Samsung galaxy s3, or the droid dna. What are your opinions on Samsung galaxy note 2?

Note 2 has bigger and brighter screen, and longer lasting battery than S3. Other than that, they are very similar.
DNA doesn't have a removable battery or allow you to add more storage. You're pretty much stuck with 16gig, which is what the Note 2 comes standard with, but the Note 2 allows you to expand up to an additional 64 gigs.
This topic HAS been beaten to death...but the Note 2 still wins

Don't forget the s-pen! That's the main reason I went with the note (along with screen second and battery third; and wanting to leave iOS - unrankable).
You might also wait until march to see what the S4 will offer. If you dont want to wait, most people a very very happy with their Note 2. I especially love the Note 2's battery life.
Whatever your choice is, good luck. And please search before you post. There are several people that dont mind helping, but it can be frustrating to help those who dont help themselves.

The SGS4 is likely 6-8 months off at this point. Their last release was in the summer, and every release before that was in the summer in the US (late spring internationally). If you want a phone now, I'd say get the Note 2, if you can wait, this coming summer/fall looks like it will be amazing
Well as of right now that's a rumor that the s4 will be out in March. Also I have a lg revolution which is the worst phone I ever bought

The international release has been 3-4 months before US Carrier release so far, so the earliest you'd see it is June/July in the US on VZW.

Lol I remember selling that phone when I worked for Vzw. It was great at the time but now...well you already know. I got my note2 on Xmas eve and I can't think of any other device I would own at this point. The spen opens up so many options. I find myself officially spoiled after owning this. No other phone on Verizon in my opinion can rival the Note2 unless you can't deal with the size.
Even Verizon and lg said the phone sucked. That's why the released the spectrum so quick

I wasnt saying the phone will be out in march. I said wait until march to see what it will have to offer. I was referring to it being announced in march. Either ar MWC or its own event.
Just to be clear: I agree the S4 will more than likely not be available for purchase until July in the US.
On a side note: my gf cousin works for a company that plans big events for corporations. They have been working on something big for Samsung. He was in town for christmas and was pretty much on the phone (ironically an iPhone) the whole time having teleconferences with Korea. My guess is the S4 but they dont get told the actual product until a couple of weeks out.

I think the Note 2 is the best phone out right now. All phones have compromises. S3 only has 1gb of RAM, DNA doesn't have expandable storage and battery life is so/so.
I've only had the note 2 a few days, but I've been a little disappointed with battery life. I'm coming from a Rezound with extended battery (2750mah). The battery life is similar to that and the Rezound got bashed for poor battery life. I was expecting a little more. Guessing it might get better after a few charge cycles. I find myself having to charge about an hour a night. The good thing is that it is a 2amp charger so it charges fast.

S3 had 2gb of RAM is the International version that had 1. Is basically a smaller note without the pen

The S3 and the Note 2 should never ever be compared. They are totally different devices in almost every way possible. Not bashing you kintwofan, or anyone in particular, just saying these 2 devices should not even be in the same sentence.
It's more like DNA vs S3/4, or do I want a mini tablet with a Wacom pen.
Personally at this point I recommend you wait another month for the S4 reveal and see if that floats your boat OP. I would never recommend an S3 to someone, it's 2013. Especially not a US variant S3 which has horrible specs compared to most devices released in the last 6 months. So you want someone who owns a Note 2's opinion OP? Wait a month.

Ya I guess bad comparison. All I really meant was it had 2gb of RAM should have just stopped there. I actually really liked mind though (when in good signal area).

Im on Clean Rom, and since the phone is near perfect, hasnt really been a need for any of the devs to do any work.
I have both the Note 2 and S3 and prefer the S3 over the Note. Both phones are great, but I personally like the S3 better. The S3 is stock / rooted and the Note 2 is stock / unrooted which may have something to do w/ it. It seems there's more to do with the S3 as far as the Dev community, it's not too big and I have never had any issues with it. I've had the Note 2 for about 4 weeks now and sometimes it won't send a text message until I restart the phone.
So Far dont regret the trade I did this .with S pen Writing pad 2 thumbs UP

The Note2 is light years ahead of the iPhone 5. Apple has a lot of catching up to do!
Yeah I've been an Android user since the g1 and couldn't think of ever using an iPhone. My wife loves her iPad but was tired of carrying that thing around so she traded her Samsung Alias (old ass flip phone) for the iPhone 5. After two days of use she complained about how small it is and her eyes were hurting from looking at it even with the enlarged font. So she went back to Verizon and got the same phone as me, the white Galaxy Note 2. She's been loving that thing since she entered her gmail address into it. She loves the size because its way bigger than that iPhone yet smaller than her tablet.

Same here, bro. At first I was like, what did I do, this thing is too big, can't use it one handed, but after 1 solid week of use, I was in love. Now after 3 months of use, I can't imagine using anything else. The "bigness" goes away very quickly. It looks normal size to me now. Anytime someone says,Damn that's a big phone, I am like, whaaa?
This phone seems small to me now that ive been using it for 2 months lol
I've had this phone for 2 weeks now and finally got used to the size (but I just picked up a UAG case and it feels big again). Switched from an iphone 5, but iOS is crap. Loving all of the customization with pacman rom.
I guess you ALL once an idiot?? LOL, I'm head of my household and my last name is "GALAXY", my wife and 2 daughters are named Galaxy S3, my son named Galaxy Note2 and myself...well still Samsung Droid Charge! hey at least I still with Samsung generation...at least!
