Im really feeling the pain here. The mega is an awesome big device but its specs are slowing me down. Im really going to have to jump the boat back to my optimus g pro. If we were able to overclock this baby maybe itll be different. But custom dev work is looking very slow at the moment. What do you guys think? Also unless a way to increase the internal to sd space. Its kinda short on app space.

went ahead and jumped the boat. Bigger size is better, but for me, I got used to the quadcores. So this time Ill be reviewing the Xperia Z water resistand and dirt resistant phone. Thanks for all the feedback guys! :laugh:
Xperia Z is pants lol
It has the worst 1080p display available and it uses the older quad core snapdragon 400..
I want note 3..

Thats why im reviewing, once I had my time with it, Ill probably have the Ultra z, or the note 3. They both look promising. The z more to me, because if being water resistant, and more higher quality in built.
Wait to Note 4, will be even better

Also IMO, they havent even officially launched ICS for it through any canadian carrier. So, Why would samsung go through the troubles of updating a phone hardware? let the success ride itself out for a bit.

I don't know i was kinda shock its like the shelf life of high end phones around 6 to 7 months then wham a new version. Now I did read that the slll will have only a duel core due to the quad doesn't play well with lte. Maybe that's why a duel core. Idk. One thing I've noticed is the phones are never complete to me. The one x has the quad core great camera but then no sd card. The note great but doesn't have the s4 chip. It's like all the phones have one major features lacking just so u may have to upgrade or move on to the next one.
What about a phone that has
Quad core
Sd card
2gb of ram
Super almoled screen
Lte
Lastest os
Thin
Great camera
Great processor
The ultimate phone all the best of the recent phones. Now that would be hot.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
It won't be much longer and this phone will have been out for a year. My next Note will be an international one since LTE is not appealing to me. Bring it!
"Due to its incredible success Samsung has started to work on its predecessor the Galaxy Note 2."
Who writes these things? I doubt predecessor is the word they wanted to use.
Successor must have confused them
I don't buy it, the specs just don't add up. .2" bigger is quite bigger even though it doesn't seen so, only 1.5gb of ram whb the s3 has 2? The processor? Nah its a fake
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Of course it's fake. Samsung has never stated that they intend to make another Note. It is pure conjecture.
Look what happened when they dropped the screen size half an inch with the S3. All of a sudden it is cool to have a ginormous screen. Hopefully it won't dissuade them to keep it above five inches.
The S3 is getting an SPen (called a CPen) very soon as well. Maybe the next Note will be one of the five Nexus phones dropping this year.
Who knows. Hell the one true fact of technology is you can't really keep up. There will always be the next hotness around the bend. Wow I didn't relize the note had been out so long I guess cuz Att just got it in March/April but i guess it has been out longer internationally.

That's how it usually works. International first and then the Americas. I am surprised the S3 is being released this quickly in the U.S. to be honest. Maybe they are trying to soak up some of the 'would be' iPhone 5 buyers although it is probably more along the lines of supply and demand.
Yea...I agree with you!

To many little things in this article don't add up fire me to believe any more than maybe the timing.
First, it's either written by someone whose native tongue is not English or something... And why would the SG3 get quad core and the revised note be dual core? Just because if the lte thing? Makes no sense.
And why would they repeat the crap about over 300 dpi again as they do.
The while thing: Smells funny to this kid and when it smells like poop, it usually is.

The 5.5" screen is way too big for me. However I like the other changes they made with it (like the faster processor, better battery, etc). The higher PPI doesn't bother me too much, I can't see the pixels in this display anyways.
I heard that its supposed to compete with Note 2 not the S3 because of the 5.5 inch display, But I cant stand a screen that size,If that was the case i wouldve purchased the note 2
Meh I've heard about it but, I'm locked in contract for 2 years and don't want a bigger phone.

The Pro is a Note 2 competitor, not an s3 competitor. The s4 will likely combine the note and the s series, according to rumor, but the Pro and OG will still be viable. IMHO, anything beyond 5" is too big. And anything below 4.3 is too small.

hi, well i finally getting my device in 9 days! YAY!:angel::victory::laugh::highfive::fingers-crossed:
but i wonna make sure im makign the best choice!
currently im thinking about buying the nexus 4 well here what i do!
watch movies=care about screen
need money=care about money so can build better custom pc in summer
do games! (dead trigger shadow gun and other high graphic games)
almost no music-photos i never take photos and never listen to music! maybe one time a year!
thanks!
and if u own a nexus 4 or somethig whit 16gb storage can u tell me is this anough? maybe i will buy a wireles storage or something!
If you want a good phone for games, you may want to get the HTC one x. I thinks its quite expensive but it has a tegra 3 graphics processor meaning you can play games like shadow gun THD. though the nexus 4 is very good still.
Hope it helps!

The price is a lot more incredible too. Problem with both is, the bootloader issue. They are working on a safety strap to work with or as a recovery. I think N3 is closer to that then the Mega. But he Mega is made to be more affordable. It has already been approved for 4.3 upgrade, 4.4 ?????? We'll have to see. Just 2 weeks ago att had it for $49 online.

buying the note 3 is like going out and buying an ip5s, your stuck with what the manufacture wants you to have
Samsung can suck a hole in a wall and leave android for all i care now days, they peaked with the note 2 and now are on the hill downwards with apple
with that said, 4.1.2 is the last stop for the i717, we are way over the 18 month period and were lucky to even get 4.1.2
the Knox security is a hell of a mess from Samsung for sure , but I still got hope that will not affect the development for this device. Maybe more time but not the end . all this mess for more money in theirs pockets ..

I upgraded to a Note 3 and its a huge improvement from the note 1 , the pen works really well and find I use it a lot more than I did before. Go to your carrier of choice and play with one before picking something you are unsure of. l rooted mine no problem (Im not a big fan of Roms because they always caused problems after 4.2.2 For me anyways ... something always broke.) My mission now is to find the best functioning kitkat rom as it was meant to be buiIt for aging phones that dont have the impressive specs of a newly released flagship device. l almost got a Xperia Z1 because of my tablet Z but didnt like the bezels top and bottom, (AND NO PEN).

I have an S4...but I want a note 1 as a back up. I had the Note 2 but I sold it for lots of loot. The S4 is brilliant but the locked bootloader has cramped the phone to the point of constipation as if you got a S4 on MF 4.2.2 firmware or MK 4.3 firmware the boot loader is super locked. They even killed the service menu. So Im selling my S4 for cash + the note 1 for temp use until I see what I want next. Samsung is the only phone company left with dual storage. LG has the Optimus G pro with 32GB and an SD card slot, but with the specs on that phone they will never see 4.2.2 on it.. And it's a beast of a phone...so I will take this Note 1 + $250 and call it a day until February

Do it. There is nothing better than getting a Nexus. I jumped to Nexus 4 from the Note about 10 months ago, and just upgraded to a Nexus 5. The developer support on a Nexus is amazing. I could have easily stuck with the Nexus 4 for another year, but the lack of LTE was bothering me a bit. A Nexus phone is pure gold. By the time the Note got to be the age that my Nexus 4 was at, I was tired of it. Don't give another dime to Samsung, who will spend it on rewriting perfectly good android code into buggy bloatware. Don't let the lack of sd card bother you. I have lived with 16 GB storage without any issue, and Nexus 5 comes in 32 GB too, for just $50 more.
I am wondering if the Galaxy S5 is worth it or should I purchase the Galaxy S4?
Thanks in advance.
If I were you I would wait for the GN4, but to answer your question the GS5 is worth the extra cash. The water resistance is reason enough on its own to go for the GS5. Plus the screen is much better.

Oh right. Yeah, screen is supposed to be about 6 inches on it. 16mpx camera. 3gb ram, up to 128gb...I just hope the battery can hold some serious juice. Bigger screens with faster processors definitely need bigger batteries! I'm still pretty surprised with how the specs on the S5 seem to have forgotten about the poor old battery
