Here's my video review of the AT&T Galaxy Note. Hope you guys like it.
http://thesmartphonechamp.com/review-att-galaxy-note-video/
Hello, I have a Galaxy Note 2. I don't find the need to upgrade to Note 3. I use the S-pen often to write notes and use the devise to read/annotate pdf. I also take photos very often and sometimes videos as well. I also use the voice recorder. I found the screen of the Note 2 a bit small. I have to change my glass and zoom in all the time. I have been waiting for the Note Pro 8" but disappointingly Samsung only announced the Tab Pro 8" without a S-pen. I suppose that in the summer or later this year, they will make the Note Pro 8" available. At that time, I will certainly buy it. Between now and then, I am considering whether or not to trade in my Note 2 for the Xperia Z Ultra. Any opinions appreciated.

Do you take a lot out photos? If yes, i would skip the Ultra to be honest.
I have note 3 and XZU and if you take a lot of pics then stay away from Xperia Z Ultra. The camera is very bad and pictures have a lot of noise in them.
I am going to do a photoshoot with the Xperia to see how bad it really is. I am an amateur photographer but I will only take the phone this time to see what I come up with because when using ISO 50 and 100 I am getting decent results unlike when I first got the phone and was shocked how horrible things were.
Thanks for all the replies.
1. Somewhere I read that there is an optional lens that could make the device one of the best in terms of photo quality. Anybody tried it? Can't find it on the local Sony website.
2. I have an extra stylus from Note 1. In terms of drawing and writing, how the Xperia Z Ultra compared with the Note 3?
3. Is there a good screen protector to avoid scratches?
4. How about the voice recording capability?
5. Is it easy to do file transfer between the device and PC especially the Mac?
6. I use ezpdf reader. Does larger screen means seeing more things at larger size?
Before the Note Pro 8" comes out, if not trading-in for the Z Ultra, what do you recommend? Too bad the iPad Air and rMini do not have a phone function.
1. That's the QX10 and QX100.
2. The S-Pen and other Wacom styluses doesn't work.
3. I would think so, but I'm not using one, so I don't know.
4. Quality wise? No idea. Not using it.
5. No tools or programs are necessary on Windows to transfer files. It's just drag and drop. There is an Android transfer tool for Mac.
6. Yes. If you want even more space, lower the screen DPI. I think you'll be fine though.
Overall, it doesn't support the S-Pen or other specialized styluses. It supports regular pens and stuff like that. The camera isn't good either, but video recording is okay.
The Ultra is mostly targeted at business people who has to handle a lot of documents (especially reading) and stuff like that, and it won't match your criterias if you like to draw and use styluses. It's a powerful tool, but I personally think you'll be happier with something that has all these stuff you're asking about integrated in a better way (like a Note).
Can I ask you what you plan on using it for? Work? Studies? Hobby?

Do you think note pro 8 gonna have phone function? as i recall, tab pro doesnt. Coz if tab pro have phone function, i might buy that one
It really comes to size I owned 6 of the note 2's nice phone but too small for me, I owned a note 3 which is a great phone to me it was much better then the note 2 but also too small - it lasted 2 days and I went back to the ultra once you use this Sony for a few days it is very hard to back to anything smaller. The note pro 8 does looking very interesting I am also looking for something bigger to replace my galaxy tab 7.7

I am a scientist. I use it mainly for work and hobby. In the past, I printed out lots of power point slides and pdf files for reading. However, I cannot carry all these with me while traveling. I am looking for a device that is excellent for annotating research papers and power points in pdf format. I like to take photos and videos. I spend about 1.5-2 hours on public transportation. Want to get some work done while waiting at the bus stop or on the bus or train. If there were a Note Pro of about 8" (with S-pen and phone capability), that would be the best. I would just trade in my phone for such device. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, Samsung decided not to release a Note Pro 8" but a Tab Pro 8". Is this a marketing strategy? Anybody has an idea when the Note Pro 8" would be out? I guess probably in the Fall. Considered to get the 12.2" Note Pro. Not sure if it is too heavy to use while waiting for the bus at the bus stop.
I tried the device in a store today. I viewed the same pdf file from both the Ultra Z and my Galaxy Note 2. Viewing the pdf from the Ultra Z was much better. The background was white and the letters were clear. Everything looked good until I tried the camera. The images were very bad compared with the same ones taken from my Galaxy Note 2. Wonder if I should buy the iPad Mini Retina Display or iPad Air. Then, trade in for the Note Pro 12.2 or Note Pro 8 later.

The camera is not too bad in good light, and is even usable if you don't use the stock camera app
I tried it in a store. It was very bright! Do you mean using other camera apps could lead to better quality photos? Which one do you recommend?

I always had the thought that Samsung rushed the Note 7 so they can better focus on the S8 lineup which'll actually be a huge game changer compared to S7E and Note 7. Does anyone know what would likely happen to rooted device if this recall does happen?

Believe they will just exchange any Note 7 on the spot with your receipt, dun think will go through your phone. They do not have time to do that after angering all their users.
Let’s forget the promo of the new Gear VR and the MicroSD card 256GB for the owners the previous Galaxy Note range ...... Let’s forget that I should have to receive the Note 7 three days before the official release ... Let’s forget that for 11 days my pre-order was stuck in limbo in an order development phase.....
After this I call the Call Center .... arrogant, overbearing, without the slightest empathy ... they tell me that I will receive a refund within 7 days if I cancel my order, because no one knows to tell you when the Note 7 will be available, then I receive an email confirmation That I canceled my order and… surprise surprise: "the credit to your account may take up to 14 days".
All in all I'm lucky, because my girlfriend bought it through the bank, and she already paid the first instalment ... and surprise surprise AGAIN..... The Call Center says to her: "You have to have patience, you have to wait" For HOW LONG?
Finally I with the Galaxy S7 Edge Galaxy Note 5 am done with SAMSUNG, I had all the Galaxy S line, the entire Galaxy Note line…...
But the Galaxy S7 Edge and Galaxy Note 5 were my LAST SAMSUNG products.
All this being said, anyone from Europe, in fact worldwide let’s join forces on social media and shame them.
