Never used any of the Note devices before and only glanced at them in the store. I just knew it had the features I wanted in a phone, so I pre-ordered. Yet when it arrived yesterday I don't think my mind was prepared for just how big of a device this is. I came from a Gnex so it's quite the change. The speed on this device is incredible though, love that. Don't love that it looks like I'm holding a brick to my face when talking.
I find I'm having trouble finding places to keep on my person without it looking too obtrusive in pockets. Any thoughts fellow Note users? I'm seriously considering returning it for a smaller device, like a LG G2...
P.S. Hell no to a holster / belt clip

I went from Gnex to Note II to the 3. I know what you're feeling. Honestly give it a day or two. You'll be used to the size before you even realize it. You'll pick up your Gnex and wonder how you ever used a phone so small.
As nice as the G2 is, this her Note 3 is one beast of a phone. Give it some time. I swore I'd never get rid of my Note 2, and only did so to get the 3. This is honestly the best phone I've ever used and could never see myself using anything but the Note line.

You will need more than a day. Give it a week or 2...by that time the device will be normal.

Trust me just give it time and it will seem normal size to you. I went from a note 2 to an HTC one and although the phone was nice I hated how small it was. At least in my opinion everything else is too small after having the note. I usually keep it in my back pocket.

I am coming from S3 and the Note is much larger, it will be a more of a challenge to keep it in a pants pocket but hopefully it won't be too much of an adjustment, and I plan to get a very thin case to go with it. But the positives of having the larger screen far outweigh this minor inconvenience.
Coming from an S3 I have to say the size doesn't bother me at all. I don't have big hands, but it just seems to feel right.

Yeah, I got a spigen Neo-Hybrid case but it feels too slim and doesn't make me feel like the device will be safe if I drop it from ANY height.
As for the pros of a larger screen, I have a Nexus 7 (which now feels pointless). So that serves to feed my need for a large screen. I just can't help but feel for my go - to service, it should be more...compact.

I feel like the ergonomics of the device are good, it still feels like a chore to stuff in a secure place when out and about though.
I guess I'll give it more than 2 days. We have what, 14 days to return if we're unhappy? Here's hoping I adjust. I really do like the features and the stylus. Although many have said you tend to stop using the stylus after a while.

So I was thinking about getting this, but not ready for an upgrade and its pricey to buy even a used one. I was thinking though of replacing my phone and tablet with it as its kinda an in between. Anyone done this or would recommend or not recommend?
Ymmv but I sold my galaxy nexus and nexus 7 and bought the note 2. I like it much better. No data to sync between the 2. I get nearly as much battery as the tablet and it fits in my pocket. My nexus 7 was wifi only so now I have data all the time as well.
I decided to keep the nexus 7 for a few days after to make sure bud I sold it like 3 days after I got my phone.
Its all personal preference though

If I flew a lot I'd rather have a Nexus 7 on hand, but otherwise I like having the Note 2 in my pocket wherever I go. This is something where you'll have to figure out how often you use it and how annoying you think it is to carry it around etc.
Yeah, same here. Exchanged the DNA, and gave my Nexus 7 to my son soon after buying the Note 2. I still have it available, but haven't picked it up for any other reason except to charge it.

I came from a One X and find my self reaching for my Note 10.1 less but the extra screen real estate between 5" and 10" makes a huge difference for consumption and creation. But I also feel a 7" tablet's too small so it's all a YMMV.

I admit it looks a bit silly holding it to your head to talk (at least now. in a few years phones around this size will probably be common). I don't care at all, but it might bother some. In this case, get a cheap bluetooth headset. I had something like this a while back and it's light, comfortable, and when you get calls, you flip it open and it automatically answers them for you to start talking.

Yup, mine was one of the originals of this design too. Paid $100 for it, within a week when I took my keys out of my pocket, it fell out without me noticing and I ran over it with my car. Good times.
This phone is definitely big, but not suitable to replace a tablet. I much prefer my Tab 2 10.1 as touchwiz on a tablet is more friendly. But maybe its the s pen integration on this phone that complecates things.

I have a galaxy tab 7.7.... When I got my verizon note I was able to get the wall street journal app (for tablets) running on and I pulled the sdcard from the galaxy 7.7 and I forgot to plug it into the wall while I played with my note and the battery died The irony is when I went to check my tablet to turn it off is was already off, opps. I plugged the tablet back into the wall but I have yet to turn it back on. I've only had the phone for 4 days and I'm trying to figure out to keep or let go of my tablet.. Everything I did with my tablet videos/books the note handles with ease. It depends on the user really and what you use the tablet for. In retrospect, the galaxy 7.7 only has a 5100mah battery. When mugen announced the 6400mah extended battery and I was sold.
I came over from a galaxy s3 which I actually thought was about the perfect size for a phone. I thought I would try the note 2 out just to see if you know I would be able to use some of the extra features such as the pan and maybe some other things. I'm having trouble with the size. I'm not sure I am going to be able to work with this. The Galaxy s3 I could work 1 handed but I am struggling using the note 2 1 handed.
I am just curious if it is just that I am NOT used to the phone, and I will eventually figure out how to use it 1 handed. Thanks in advance for your kind response is.
Unless your name is Shaq I doubt you will ever be able to one hand this phone.
But even without being able to do full one hand operation, I am betting you will get used to the size. All things take time. Hell there was a time when I was so used to texting on my old Samsung flip phone back in 2005, that the thought of getting a touch screen keyboard based phone was just blasphemy. And of course when I did get my device, a Droid X, I was really turned off from the keyboard. I hated texting on it and it drove me nuts.
Now today, I can't imagine having a flip phone with those ugly T9 keys, or even a slider phone that has so much wasted thickness for a redundant keyboard.
You'll get used to it, sooner or later. But it grows on you.
You have to hold it differently. If your fingers are long enough, their tips can still wrap around the phone while it mostly resting on them, not your palm. This gives your thumb much more mobility. It feels weird at first but isn't uncomfortable. I cannot reach both the status bar and buttons without shifting my grip awkwardly, but I still can do that one handed.
It's been three days and I've already gotten used to it, I can't believe how small my former Razr MAXX feels in comparison. I'm 6'2 and have pretty big hands and I am able to 1 hand it in most cases, but it's more comfortable with 2.
Unless you have really small hands. you will definitely get used to it.

That clip thing is called a fly grip I believe. Qbking77 has a YouTube video reviewing it and I think it looks pretty handy. I'm a 6 foot tall man with big hands and I'm afraid I'm going to drop the phone reaching for the notification bar while the phone is sliding in my hand. I've had a lot of different phones and this one is hands down my favorite but I do have the fear of it sliding out of my hand reaching for the notification bar to the home button (try doing that one handed... you'll see what I mean).

The moment I pulled the note 2 out of the box and put it into my hand for the first time the GS3 was dead to me. I doubt I will ever be able to use a smaller phone without a stylus. I use the stylus nonstop for work and find that I am typically using one hand to hold the phone and the other I have the stylus.
But, I am also 6' 5" and don't really have much issue holding it in one hand and using my thumb to operate it. I usually don't even have issue moving the phone slightly to be able to reach all 4 corners.
Personally when I use my wife's S3 or my old GN after having this phone they seem tiny and I can't even stand using them. People can say what they want but for me a guy with avg size hands I think this phone is perfect. The only Issue I do have is when using my left hand it is a PITA to hit the back button. Samsung should have had the whole area to the right of the home button as a contact area, so that isn't so much a size issue for me but a design issue. Either way I could never go back to a smaller phone now.
The only thing you'll have trouble getting used to are the stares. At the mall.....restaurants especially. I haven't had a quiet meal in the last week. Waitresses and patrons just walk up and say, "That is the biggest phone I have ever seen! What is it? Do you like it.....isn't it TOO big?"
I just tell them the micro radiation is off the charts....so stand back.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I'm in the process of switching carriers from Sprint to Verizon, and was worried about the size of the Note 2. I was glad to read all of your comments about getting used to it. Thanks! It has helped solidify my decision.
Nobody's really posted a real-life usage of Note2 vs S4 so here's my observations for those wondering.
I still have both the Note2 and S4.. and before that I had the S3.
I also currently have the Razr M as my "Spare" phone for when I feel like popping my sim into it on nights or events when I don't want to chance the loss or damage to my nicer more expensive phones. So I can throw out some comparisons against the RazrM since it's still my favorite "small yet powerful" Android phone.
1) Wow factor: Whether it be a ridiculous wow or a wow that's cool goes to the Note2.. The sheer screen size is still noticeable when using smaller phones and then using the Note2.. It's just big and watching videos/gaming is a real treat and joy. Despite having 720p on a larger 5.5, its still crisp and clear and nobody's streaming 1080p (Netflix/Hulu) to phones yet so the Note2 is still viable and current. I know that there's a Youtube apk hack that allows for 1080p but aside from that I haven't seen any apps using 1080p artwork yet.
2) Size: S4 obviously.. Light light light, deceptively light body. Thin thin thin.. Not a whole lot thinner than the Note2 but thinner. And a lot lighter. Since i have the RazrM, the S4 feels about the same in pocket and in hand as far as weight goes. And even if the RazrM is shorter and has a smaller width, the two feel the same in my pocket which is important to guys who like to pocket their phones. The Note2 in pocket has a horrible feel (for me) and just makes everything awkward for me.. Sitting down, driving the car, etc.. the Note2 is just clearly uncomfortable in my pocket and feels out of place. Like cramming something in your pocket that shouldn't go in there in the first place is the feeling I always get.. This is WITHOUT a case even on the Note2.. Cased up my pockets are even more ridiculous. This is why I feel the S4 is probably the biggest screensize/chassis phone I could ever deal with as a daily driver. it's a breeze to pull out of your pocket even while sitting. On the topic of size, it's trickier taking phone calls on the Note2 as you have to use precision to make sure the earpiece is aiming into your ear.. sometimes you end up missing where the earpiece is and not hearing people briefly until you correct it.
Note 2: 6.34oz
S4: 4.59oz
3) Battery life: Editing this in later, too early to tell, but I can tell you right now charging from 0% to 100% is night and day from the Note2 to S4.
4) Reception/Signal/Data speed: future edit..
Please add your experiences from going from the Note2 to the S4!
I've had the s3 s4 and note 2. And I like the s4 is perfect for size. Comfort. Design. Mobility. The note 2 is my second favorite. But that half inch makes the world of difference.

This, and when I need to use my phone one handed the Note 2 was far too difficult to manage.. For me I feel that 5" is the very max I can deal with.. It's too early to tell though and 5" might be even too big for me and I have big hands (i'm a dude).
I keep flipping back and forth between my Note 2 and the S4. I use the Note 2 for work and school (Snotes and the S-Pen). I have large hands and can operate it just fine one handed. I love the battery life, I can go all dat with heavy use and still have 30% when I get home at night.
That being said, I also love the S4 even with it's size difference. The main improvements for me are the screen, IR blaster (yes I am using it a remote) and the OS. I will look at an extended battery when they come out, but I am never far from a charger....and if I know that I will be, I take the Note 2.

I just switched over to a S4 from the Note 2. Biggest difference that I keep noticing is screen size. The larger screen on the Note 2 is awesome but as a lot of people have mentioned it's near to impossible to use one handed and for me one handed use is important. If you're on the fence just because of screen size I'd say go with the S4 cause that little difference in screen size won't really be worth it for the loss of ergonomics.

Well, this is general, why not tell the story of how I acquired the Galaxy S 4 (more or less my android story in general).
I don't have the best of luck with phones. That's for sure. Back in the summer of 2012 when my two year contract with the LG Envy Touch was just about over I broke it. Somehow along the lines of dropping it, leaving it in the rain once, etc... let's say I take much better care now. So, I went out on the hunt for a new phone. At the Verizon store I was debating between the Droid Maxx and the iPhone 4S, when one of the workers came up to me (thank goodness he did, I'm glad I'm not stuck with the iPhone). He asked what kind of phone I was interested in an I told him what I was looking at. Immediately he took me over to the Galaxy S 3, saying this is something worth the look. I fell in love. It was what I wanted, what I needed.
A year goes by with my lovely Galaxy S 3. Not a scratch on it's face, not a drop to it's name. I cherished the phone and used it for my everyday needs. Then comes the day when I went on a run without my armband. Normally I put my S 3 in an armband, bag, pocket, or anything but for some reason I didn't that day. I was holding my phone in my hand, as I had done before, and was running through the neighborhood. Then, I started to get a little tired and without thinking went to stretch my arm when my phone flew from my grip. ****. Cracked screen.
Not wanting to risk breaking my phone even more I took it to Verizon. They gave me the number and told me to make an Asurion Insurance claim. Since I had the $100 deductible that's what I did. Once on the website I was informed that they no longer had my Blue 32 GB Galaxy S 3 in stock. I was pretty bummed and had to look at the other two options. The first was a White 32 GB Galaxy S 3. OK, I compared the details and something about it wasn't right. The battery life much less and some other odd things. Fine, I looked at my other option. A Black 32 GB Galaxy S 3. Wait, that's not right, there is no Black S 3 for Verizon or any carrier I thought. I took a closer look, Black 32 GB Galaxy S 4. Well, well, well. Now what would be the smart decision, a seemingly worse S 3 or the new and improved S 4. I think you know what choice I made.
Fast forward two days when my S 4 is supposed to arrive. It gladly does and I am so very happy to activated it. I turned off my S 3 after the final goodbyes and what not, put the battery in the S 4 and turned it on. Something isn't right. The loading process went OK, but there is something wrong with the screen. It had this ugly, thick, brown looking film on my screen. Not like the plastic that comes on the screen, but actually inside of the phone that's only noticeable when you turn it on. I go through the whole installation process and it doesn't go away, I change the brightness, anything desperate to fix it, nothing. I do some research and it states how it is a hardware connection issue, but there was no report of brown screens, only green ones. I guess it was the same issue.
Slightly-enraged that my good luck had gone bad I called up Asurion. They told me everything I should do to try and fix it, but nothing worked. So, they offered to send me a new-new S 4 free of charge. I happily agreed. Another two days go buy and my new-new phone has arrived. Finally, everything was working fine and here I am, happy with my fully functional S 4. I guess in the end my luck really did shine through.
Hope you guys didn't mind the story, and I think it would be cool if you guys shared how you got from your start with android to the Galaxy S 4.

This is almost the perfect phone. While many things can be better (e.g. smaller bezels, an even better camera, this that and the other), i am not as picky as some users are. I think the camera is very nice. The speakers are great. The audio jack is good to slightly better than good. The screen is beautiful. The device is amazingly beautiful. Battery has been close to very good. Lots of great things.
The only issue i have with my phone and its barely that, is the screen shifts to a greyish blue when not viewed within 10 degrees horizontal/vertical. Not a deal breaker in the slightest.
and totally agree with the above post. Reception has been very nice. Data, too.
No problems with mine. Tested everything that others complained about and no issues.
No defects here.

Perfect 6P here. The best phone I've ever had....
Works as I expected. Honestly, reading all of these defect posts here and on Reddit made me a bit paranoid. Like I'm looking to see if there's even the slightest discrepancy in flushness of the bottom back plastic plate and the rest of the aluminium body. Or exaggerating the volume difference between the top and bottom speakers when I run a stereo audio test. It's nothing worth getting worked up about!
I'm happy with it as long as I can keep it scratch-free until my case arrives!
The only issue I have had with mine is that the back access port isn't completely levels. It's raised on one side. Though the phone is going to spend the rest of its life in a case so it doesn't matter. Apart from that and the paranoia that my phone will never be updated its the best phone ive owned.
Honestly, the best phone I've ever had. I switched from iPhone 6 to a used LG G3 earlier this year. My Nexus 6P is perfection. Utter bliss. I'm actually in a state of continuous geekgasm.

Mines fantastic, man i love this thing, its an excellent phone, i'm actually worried for the next round of Nexus devices , can they keep up with this standard of build ?
Adore it like as if it were my child. I missed having chamfered edges like with my old m7. I just like looking at it from different angles and seeing the light shine around it.
Not a single problem with it whatsoever :victory::victory:
Mine is perfect.
