Hey guys!
Ok so I am going to be on a concession line soon with best buy mobile and im torn between the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy S3. As far as I can tell, the only SIGNIFICANT difference is the stock touchwiz version. Now I know the processor is a bit beefier than than the Note as well as other things, but im talking BIG differences. Anywho, Ive looked around and it seems possible to run touchwiz 5.0 on a Galaxy note, which would make things a bit easier. My only concern is fluidity. I want this phone to run damn close, if not completely fluid. So what do you guys think? Get an S3 and save the trouble of go with the Note and flash TW5 which is where my first instinct was?
To be honest, with the lte version of the s3 only difference there is, would be that the s3 has 1gb more ram and tw5. The processor speed is the same on the note once you root it which would be 1.5 ghz.

Pretty sure stock the processor runs at 1.5 Ghz. To be honest I just convinced my friend to grab the SG3 and I have to say I love it. I would highly recommend that phone and you would probably have quicker access to an official jellybean update

I thought the Note was LTE as well, or is it just "Faux"G
Note is definitely lte. Also, though the note and sgs3 are both 1.5 GHz dual core, the note has the s3 snapdragon, while the sgs3 has the s4.

I have both... I wouldn't worry too much about the Rom and cpu too much..if u like bigger screen and spen functions get the note. if u just want a phone get the s3. . Anything that s3 has you can easily get it into the note anyway (rooted note). . The only thing note doesn't have is screen stay on.. I have to say after u have a big screen phone. U will not wanna going back to smaller screen..

Hi I am thinking of getting the gs2 to replace my lg g2x which is a kick ass phone but I am bored with it so I want something new. I was going to get the s1 but right before I changed phones the g2x came out and the specs were great. I dont regret it but I still want a Samsung. I just have a few questions first.
Overall how do you guys like your phone? A 5 year old can hack and root the g2x is this phone the same? If not how hard is it to root? What are the chances that this phone will get ICS? And how long do you think you will have to wait? And finally would it be better to wait for the galaxy nexus to come out? Is the galaxy nexus really going to be that much better than this phone? Also have any of you heard if the galaxy nexus is going to be available for TMO. I asked a rep today who said she did not know. But we all know asking the customer service over the phone is like asking my grandfather who hardly knows what a phone is. Any help you guys can be is greatly appreciated. Thanks alot

Well it's a definite update from G2X. But if I were you I'd wait a little bit more and get the Nexus Prime. You are already 5 months late to get a GSII, now when you've waited this long why not few more days.
The SGS2 is a great phone and I don't think the galaxy nexus is going to be much better. BUT, I personally would go with the galaxy nexus since it bring the android experience ( I mean no touchwiz) and ICS. Anyway rooting SGS2 is a piece of cake, as is flashing ROMs and stuff so you could easily get CM7 running and get rid of the touchwiz interface.
So the galaxy nexus is coming to tmobile? If it is I am definitly going with it. Like I said a rep over the phone said thy did not know yet. But this close to launch I would tink they would know but thats just my opinion. Thats the other thing I wanted to ask about touchwiz. Is it ok or does it suck. The g2x is vannilla android and thats the way I perfer it. I actually dont really use cm7 not saying it sucks but I didnt even install cm 7 until the recent final relese of 7.1 came out. However I love Eagles blolod based off CM 7 that is by far the best most stable rom I have used to date. Anyway thanks for all your help guys.
How hard is the Galaxy S2 to root? Super easy.
How are the chances for it to get ICS? 100%
How long will it take? Hard to tell, as it depends on when google releases the sources. (Samsung release will have TouchWiz)
Is TouchWiz bad or good? It's not that bad, but I find both, MIUI and CyanogenMod, better. But that is just my opinion.
Is it better to wait for the Galaxy Nexus? Well I had the chance to give away my Galaxy S2 and get a Galaxy Nexus once it comes out, but I didn't. I must admit that the screen is damn impressive, but no micro-SD-slot is an absolute no-go for me.
Will the Galaxy Nexus be much better than the Galaxy S2? Define better. For watching movies? Yes. For playing games? I highly doubt that, as it got a weaker GPU and has a much higher resolution. Both factors have a negative impact on the performance. However, keep in mind that the Galaxy Nexus will set the standard for this "generation" of Android phones, so it doesn't really matter which one you get. Both are amazing.
I hope this helps you with your decision.

wow I must have missed that no microsd card slot? I have not had a phone that didnt have one for over 10 years at this point. No SD card slot what? How much on board storage does it have Afew gigs? I mean I have a 16 gig in now and it is almost maxed out and easily could be I have to cut down on what I carry. I need 32 gigs I guess that they are pushing their google music cloud storage and google docs and such. Oh well thanks for the heads up.
As far as I know there are two versions. One with 16 and one with 32 gigabytes. For me 16 aren't enough and 32 too expensive. Besides that, I don't know if I might need even more in future. Therefore lacking the possibility to upgrade if it becomes necessary is a no-go for me. The screen is the only real argument that speaks for the Nexus. I can wait for ICS...

Yes it has no sd card slot. I believe it comes in 16/32gb, can't remember. Well if you really want an HD screen you could wait till the sgs 2 HD LTE comes out for south korea and have it shipped down here. If not, the sgs 2 is all good.
Personally I don't even like the nexus prime, well the pricing at least. They want us to pay $300+ for a HD screen? Wow... Plus if the GPU it uses is a sgx 540 then that's an even more of a downgrade like the 8mp-5mp camera.

That's bulls**t. The megapixels only tell you about the maximal size of the images, NOT about their actual quality. Why do people still think that more megapixels mean that the camera is better?
I wouldn't be surprised if the camera of the Galaxy Nexus will be much better than the camera of the Galaxy S2. However, we'll see...

Because it was used that way by advertisers just like having high cpu frequencies is right now. Why'd you think the s2 got pumped to 1.2 just before launch. But still you are right.
But on the matter, I have a s2 and it is an amazing phone. I don't think you will regret it if you'd bought it. But personally I'd go for the gn but it is mostly based on looks. Although I have never seen one.
ICS will take some time but if you want it as soon as possible the nexus is the way to go. And no TW. It works and it has some cool features but 75% of it is useless to me.
the SGS2 I9100 (this forum) doesn't work on T-Mobile US. I believe you're looking for this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1329

Well you're right. I even underclocked my Galaxy S2 to 800 mhz. It still gets amazing scores thanks to being a dual-core, having an amazing GPU and running MIUI. But now I can play much longer.
I guess I just thought that the people here on xda were smart enough to know, but forgot about the fact that this site has so many different users.

I am aware that megapixels mean do not give the actual performance. However in the case of mobile phones and chips, it is highly unlikely samsung will produce or place a 5mp camera better than the 8mp camera found on the sgs 2. This is a mobile camera sensor, there is only so much you can do with it. Aside from lens, etc.

You forget that there might be some "new technology" that improves the camera. Besides that, the integration of the camera into the OS is also very important and ICS should give the Galaxy Nexus a fair advantage in that point. At least until the Galaxy S2 gets ICS.

Does anyone think the AT&T Version of the Samsung Galaxy Note will have identical Screen Issues like the International Version of the Samsung Galaxy Note?
Who cares!! The brilliant thing is we will all have warranty so we dont need to worry. The reason i sold my n7000 is because i was paranoid about that happening and i wanted lte
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
The nice thing about the AT&T version is that they're a lot easier to exchange. I would also imagine that they have ironed out the few bugs with the screen now that it's had it's trial run internationally. AT&T has a lengthy process to approve these new devices.

Um...
Actually when the S2 was released in the US on T-Mobile there was an influx of complaints regarding the display. I don't know if our US Carriers will matter much in respect to this.
A FEW QUESTIONS,
IF I BOUGHT A GALAXY NOTE UNLOCKED AT&T VERSION FOR FULL PRICE (WHEN AVAILABLE) CONTRACT-FREE, WITHOUT BEING AN AT&T CUSTOMER, WILL I GET THE SAME KIND OF GENEROUS WARRANTY LIKE THOSE WHO BUY IT FOR $299 WITH A 2-YEAR CONTRACT?
HOW LONG WOULD THE WARRANTY BE?
AND DO I NEED TO DEAL WITH SAMSUNG DIRECTLY OR AT&T (EVEN IF I AM NOT AN AT&T CUSTOMER)?
KINDA STINKS THAT EXYNOS IS NOT ON THE AT&T-VARIANT. ARE THERE ANY DOWNSIDES TO THE SNAPDRAGON? BENCHMARKS?
YeA its mainly benchmarks imo i had the skyrocket then i sold it for the n7000 and i can tell yoj forst hand the skyrixket was a way way faster device. As for your other question i would say to be safe tell someone you know to call in and add your note to there at&t acount for your warranty. So buy outright and call it in and just say you wanna add the device on they will ask you for your imei and thats it your good

I'm thinking about the AT&T version too, thanks!
However, I did read some where someone's Skyrocket managed to catch on fire while on board a flight. That's the only thing which worries me.

But remember the Galaxy Note screen has 1280 x 800 resolution and the Skyrocket has 800 x 480. That is almost 3 times the pixels to process so not directly comparable. When I first got my Galaxy Note, I agree the skyrocket was faster in the screen transitions etc but after two more updates that is not the case any longer. I have the LA4 update which sped up the phone significantly. While I agree that benchmarks do not tell the entire story, the Galaxy Note routinely has among the highest benchmarks for any phone.
Based on the several videos I saw from CES on the ATT version, I think it will be fine since it will be optimized with a newer version of firmware before we get it

The note is not using the same exact s3 chip as the skyrocket. I was somewhat surprised to see antutu results for the att note were better than the stock skyrocket results. If that says anything, the note will be lightning fast after some roms and a nice kernel pop up

Edit: I have not had any screen issues with my GNote. (Knock wood) The screen is just beautiful!
Agreed. I was not comparing the skyrocket to the Note. I have seen one Antutu score on the ATT version so I think we need several more runs to get a good feel for where it will be. That said, I was impressed with 6000 as a score and am looking forward to getting one. Like you said that puts it up there sightly above the skyrocket and SGSII which are both very capable phones.

Thanks for asking btw, heehee.

Once there is ics on this thing, itll be flying even faster! Hopefully the screen issues are fixed, because i also want the best smartphone screen lol. Just hope ics comes soon, the theming makes everything look so much better. Also, hopefully cm7/9 can be built, make life so much better ha. Esp screen wise too! Rise that dpi and tab mode you go.
All i gotta say is i can't wait. After my n7000 i came back to my ogs2 and damn this thing feels dinky lol the note is a man phone straight up

Hey guys.
My girlfriend is finally fed up with her iPhone and wants to go Android and I'm looking to upgrade from the Evo 3D so I'm thinking about getting us both S3's.
There's a bunch of threads going over problems and disappointments (which is normal) but I want to know if people are overall happy with their phone.
I was a bit disappointed when the U.S. version was only duel core and am wondering if we wouldn't be better off just getting her the S2 and saving some money. Our maybe the new HTC 4G LTE (I really like the HTC widgets).
We will be buying with Sprint if that matters.
Thoughts?
Edit - and only 1GB of ram...

I love my S3, it's a great phone. The US has a dual core SoC because the Snapdragon S4 has LTE built in, whereas the quad core Exynos does not. Either way it's a decent SoC.
You won't be dissapointed with the S3, i know certain people are having issues on this forum but i honestly haven't had a single problem with my device. It runs so smooth no matter what you throw at it.
I have the S2 phone. The S3 is rly better. I love it
1. I received my SGSIII a few days ago and I came from Desire. I do not regret spending much money on this device. ( Quadcore Exynos, 1GB RAM )
2. If you would like to get another phone, I would suggest Galaxy Note instead of SGSII.

Hi!
So I was thinking of getting this phone or the Galaxy nexus. I was wondering if I should still get the gs2 or wait a while for the galaxy nexus price to drop to the same numbers.
GS2 costs 350€ and nexus is 450€ so that makes the galaxy s2 more appealing. Also the nexus might have screen that's a little too big already, but the concern with gs2 is the resolution, were it qHd I would have already gotten it!
Anyway i wouldn't want to spent more than 375€ on the phone, 350€ would be best. And if you have ordered from ebay etc. I'd also like to now about that since could probably get them cheaper from there. Are the phones in ebay UK international versions that work here in Finland too?
Thanks in advance!

Please do! As much info as possible will be appreciated!
*Galaxy SII (GT I9100) over Galaxy Nexus*
-Better camera performance, still imaging and video
-Better Raw processing power. Galaxy SII blew galaxy nexus or of water in every benchmark possible, after ICS upgrade
-Better graphic performance
-RGB screen vs Pentile
-Expandable storage. Galaxy nexus doesn't have SD card slot and 32g version is not common
-Better battery performance
-I love my home button
-Excellent developer support. This compensates for lack of on-time updates as compared to nexus e.g I'm presently running a very stable jellybean ROM on my galaxy SII just like galaxy nexus thanks to developers
-very compact size, thus easier to handle
-cheaper outside US
***Galaxy Nexus over Galaxy SII***
-720p HD screen resolution
-extremely fast updates/upgrades
-Larger screen (4.65 vs 4.3)
-cheaper in US

All right thanks a lot! The camera isn't that important for me so don't really consider that as a plus. I prefer 4.3 over the larger display though but the resolution is making me uncertain. Is it large enough? I have a htc wildfire now so any phone will be a huge improvement
And even though i trust Di Matteo's opinion, I'd still like to hear what other people think. If a Milan fan agrees with this I'm sold!
i just got my s2 had it for a week and its amazing just wish the screen didnt drain so much battery have to have it turned down if you want you phone to last a long time.
i also have the same rom that comes with the nexus on my s2 its awsome and fast

Get a Samsung 2000mah battery too, you will love it for sure
I have the GS1 and im maybe getting the GS2 for almost free. I don't know why or how i want the S2 more than S3 i mean they both look good but to be honest S2 looks better. both 1 GB Ram and not so much change on the camera either. Quad core is not so very necessary (yet).

I have a i9100G and i'm more than good with it, even doesn't having the Exynos processor this phone is fast as hell! I tried a S3 and is true that is better but in few things
The S3 is better, but I see what you mean. Maybe invest in an expanded battery (Samsung do a nice one for £20), or alternatively hold off your upgrade until you can get a 4G phone (varies depending where you live; in the UK this is only a wait of a few months so I'm holding off).

I agree that the S2 looks better than the S3. It being squarer makes it look more sophisticated. Personally, I think the size of the S3 is too big, so I chose to get a second hand S2 a few weeks ago. I have no regrets, and it's a lot faster than my Nexus S.

I completely agree with you. If you just had your S2, it's too soon for you to upgrade to S3.. it's not worth it
