Contract coming up soon. Do I wait for note2 or go for s3?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
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.

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?
Alright guys, I recently picked up a new Galaxy S III with a nice new 64 GB microSD card. After about a week of using it, I began to not like it anymore. And the reason why I stopped liking it, is because I thought about purchasing a Nexus 7. And I thought in my head, like many Android devices, it would be fragmented from my Galaxy S III. Yeah, I could've put Jelly Bean on it. But I didn't want to. I bought the Galaxy S III specifically for NatureUX. I sold my Galaxy Nexus and my iPhone 4S so I could get this phone and then have some extra cash.
Now, I have a brand-new Galaxy S III just sitting in its box waiting to be returned to Amazon, and no smart phone. So I'm using my Nokia N95, which I'm kinda loving all over again. But I look over at my little box, and open it up and mess with the Galaxy S III and wonder if I'm making the right choice. There's a new iPhone on the horizon... There's even possibly a new Nexus device on the horizon. I don't know if I should just stick to my N95, and wait for something newer. I know the S III is NOT a bad choice at all. It's relatively future-proof and what not...
I would appreciate it if some of you weighed in on this, because I am prepared to send it back Monday morning. Let me know what you think, thank you.
yes, you are kinda crazy.
but old nokias are good so you can keep using it and later in the future remove the dust from your gs3

Maybe stop thinking about other phones and be happy with what you have, to put it into perspective
Are you well fed?
Do you have clean drinking water?
Do you have shelter?
Yes to all?........sorted
First world problems.
Sell it and wait for either i5 or next nexus if you already dislike it dude.. I would

What a dumb, self-serving thread. There will always be better phones coming down the pipeline. You want us to beg you to keep the S3 or something?
I'll tell you one thing that I've learned.
You can't keep thinking about future devices.
Every 6 months a new (maybe better) device is released.
If you keep thinking about the future, you'll NEVER buy any device, because you are always looking ahead.
Just stay with the best TODAY, and in the future, if there's a new device that you like, you buy it.
There's always people to buy your previous device in the future if you want to sell it.
Since you already packed it nicely, so just send it home

your wait for new devices will be in vain. you will be thinking the very same every 6 months. n95 is gonna serve you a very long time
Well u have already bought it, and personallly I love everything except the ram on this phone, if u already have it Y don't u just open it...

best phone I ever had. I bought my woman Iphone 4S, before they released the SGS3, tested it and I know the iOS and apple products are not for me...
No one can really make a decision for you I'd wait to see what the iPhone 5/Next Nexus bring then make your decision.
I would never consider selling a smart phone for a tablet... If it means no more smartphone (for the record I have a s3 and a n7).

Yup, a tablet is nice to have but a smartphone is essential. Think I'd feel lost if the all seeing eye of Google wasn't on or near my person at all times.

Hello.
So, Yeah. I'm going to get something new.
After I had unfortunate accident when my Droid RAZR broke in my pocket without any crash, I'm receiving new one for warranty and decide to change something, because I hate when phone breaks without reason
I live in Poland, so I need something that reach europe.
What I need... Specs comparable with RAZR (CPU and RAM. Some nice GPU would also be nice), Screen at least same quality as it and overall nice quality.
It would be also welcome to be easily moddable with decent amount of Custom ROMs for it. Official/Unofficial CM support is also welcome.
And one more thing. No SGS2. I'm tired of it.
So. Any propositions?
Thanks in advance!
Galaxy S II is old, why would anyone suggest it with the Galaxy S III is out? If you're tired of Samsung then go for an HTC One X. If not, the Samsung Galaxy S III is waiting to love you. I'd suggest a Nexus but you seem to be pretty content with rooting and ROMs so I guess it isn't necessary.
How about Galaxy Note 2? Supposed to be announced at end of month

If you like rooting and roming, go with the Nexus. Otherwise, Galaxy S III or One X.
Ooh, go for the Xperia gx. Actually, scratch that. I don't think it's available in Europe yet... maybe the acro s... damn I'm not really sure when it comes to Europe.
Sent from my X10i using xda app-developers app
go for the one X, but rooting it might be a bit difficult, if so, then go with a nexus!
I would suggest a Galaxy Nexus. Nexus devices always get the official updates first and will be supported for a long time (for example: Nexus S got JellyBean, Galaxy S which has almost the same hardware has not even gotten official ICS...)
Get Galaxy Note 2. It will be released in few days.
Galaxy s3 is an awesome choice too.
Sent from Samsung Galaxy S3 T999
The nexus s is very close in spec to your RAZR. The camera isn't as nice, but fantastic device none the less. You can get them cheap right now too.
The SGS3 is an incredible device. It blows away the RAZR in performance from every angle.

Nexus does not have good camera.
Either go for HTC One S .. !!
Htc one x if u can live without external memory.

The nexus does not have a good camera, but if you get one knowing that, the rest of the device is superb.

Thanks for all replies. I think that I'll go with Nexus. However I've got one question about it. I heard that it doesn't have Gorilla Glass display. Can anyone say something about its resistance for little scratches?
Nexus S

If you can get a Galaxy S III go for it because Samsung just came out with the official jelly bean OTA , otherwise Galaxy Nexus ftw...
The Galaxy Nexus does not have a gorilla glass display , only a scratch resistant one...I haven't really tested mine by putting it in my pocket with my keys lol, but If you get a decent screen protector you won't have any problems...
Gorilla Glass is a big plus , but its a small price to pay for the software experience you're getting out of this phone...Pure AOSP Android experience , you will get the latest updates FIRST, and not have to wait like with the SIII for example...or any other phone for that matter...
Plus its a pretty powerful phone..well worth its money right now if you don't care about the mediocre camera...(which I personally think is fine...1080p video at 30fps , with decent lighting it records great... Photos are OK as well so...)
OR if you're good at waiting you can wait for the new nexus to come out that might have a GG display, but Google hasn't even announced it officially yet so...

I am ready for an upgrade on Verizon and can't quite make up my mind on what I want. I'm coming from a Motorola Droid 4 and debating between Galaxy S3, Galaxy Nexus, wating for Galaxy Note 2, or waiting for the next Nexus.
I know the Nexus is old news but I love my Nexus 7 and still want something that will have plenty of developer support. On the other hand the screen is a little on the small side and the lack of SD card might be a dealbreaker.
I could always wait for the next Nexus but who knows when that could be and if the LG rumors are true I may not be interested (not a fan).
The Galaxy note sounds great because it's big but is it too big? The extra screen room would always be welcome but I'm not sure if maybe this is too much.
Finally the S3 seems like a great phone and although I'm not a big fan of touchwiz I'm sure using a launcher or a custom rom will be enough to make up for this. I like that the screen isn't a measly 4 inches but at the same time it does feel weird in my hand, it's thin, maybe too thin.
Feel free to suggest any other phones I may be missing out on but they have to have NFC, at LEAST 4.0 in. screen (preferably upwards of 4.5), and if it won't get/doesn't have jellybean plenty of dev support so I can port it onto the device myself.
So... what phone should I get?
Galaxy S3 is good. but i am a htc fan, so it is all about how you use your phone.
Gs3 will have JB soon get that.

I just don't think I can do Sense. It's the only skin I dislike more than Touch Wiz. But if the phone was good enough I would consider living with it I suppose.

Hi everyone... i am a student and currently own a Samsung galaxy s2 for last 10 months...
Last week i got my screen cracked but everything is working fine...
I was thinking if it would be a good idea to sell this and buy a new phone instead of spending 6500 inr for screen...
If yes then which one...

i would buy a s2 again.
im very interested in smartphones and always buy the newest and best phones. but when i buyed my s2 a long time ago, i was so happy with it,
the cam is very very good, the speed is awesome and its not to big like s3 or the notes. as u can see its still supported even from samsung with new jelly bean upgrade. i dont know much phones which get 2 android upgrades (from gb to ics, from ics to jb) except the google phones and the s2 is still supported by good devs. so why not buy a s2?

I would agree in some point. Yeah it is got a very good graphics card and all. But you might wanna go a little more future proof with the 2GB RAM option. Not that you need/use it all but its worth having for the future. Im always going with the Note series now but the Nexis 4 is a pretty solid buy
