[Q] Screen capacity - more like smartphone or tablet?

Hello, I own Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Note 8.0, but I'm considering getting Note 2 instead of those two I got. Just wondering what is the screen difference between those devices? Some websites appear differently on S2 and Note 8 using mobile agent on both browsers. Even wh3n they are the same there is a lot more stuff on Note 8's screen.
My question is what is Note 2 closer to: S2 or Note 8? Is it huge phone or small tablet? Of course considering what's appearing on screen and hum much is it.

Note 2 is close to a tablet but still a phone. So for me it is at the edge. However, you can not compare it with a S2 it is much bigger and I think it is a great alternative to these 2 devices. Because the S2 is too small as a phone and a 8" is too small as a tablet for me as well. Tablet should be at least 9,7"

[Q] Note 2 with note 3 airview and such???

So, I am deciding to upgrade my s3 to either the note 2 or note 3. The issue is mainly cost; is it really worth it?
What I love about the note 3 are the s-pen features - being able to have that wee little pop up menu and apps along with it I("airview") AND the note 3 has awesome handwriting recognition.
Also love the new camera interface.
If I get the note 2, update to 4.3, will I have those?
or
Will I need to put on a custom rom?
Thx!

[Q] New Samsung Galaxy Note device: Note 2 or 3?

Hello,
I'm getting rid of my old Nokia n900 and looking into the world of Android devices.
Right now I'm in between Note 2 and Note 3. Regarding KNOX, eFUSE and rooting, which Note should I chose over the other one and why?
Is the Note 2 software-wise on the same level as the Note 3? With custom ROM's it seems to be but that would trigger eFUSE/KNOX and void the guarantee?
Thanks a lot!

Note 2 is better ....Note 3 might have extra features bt u can get them on note 2 by rooting.
Note 2 right now has gr8 on price
And also note 3 is unstable..

i really dont know which place u belong to but i will be referring to india for the time being..
Comparing the phones is not actually the right thing..
Those who have a NOTE 2 dont find it WORTH upgrading to a Note 3..!!
Having said this.. Note 2 costs 26-28 k depending on the place you are located in india..!
Note 3 costs 44-47 K again depending on state to state..!
so the difference is pretty huge..!
Note 2 is getting kitkat which is the latest android version for the time being.. But it is not getting any of the Note 3 features..!
And as far as my eperience goes with samsung KK 4.4.2 will be the last update for Note 2
Note 3 has already got kitkat official now..!
So u will be rooting a Note 2 triggering knox or voding warranty ( if it has 4.3 Out of the box) else u wont trigger knox and find a way around like we all have done here..!
and u will flash Note 3 pack to have a note 3 feel..!
So my take is If u can afford (i could not) Go for a Note 3 directly and stick to it for some time.. For me Note 3 is the only touchwiz phone i have not seen lagging till date..!!
Cheers..!

Thanks for your replies! As I don't own either of them it won't be an upgrade but a start from scratch.
I've found an unused Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with T-Mobile branding for € 250. I guess that's a bargain.
A new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7105 LTE will be € 329 cheapest from a shop, used ones are around € 260 on Ebay.
Looking forward to get that Note 3 - I was looking for a black one and this is white but no questioning for the price.

I think it is a good deal.................. go ahead

S5 vs Note 2 vs Note 3

Is there anything on the s5 or the note 3 that I cannot do on my note 2(rooted and on custom ROM off course) ?
I know that the infrared remote thing and the s health things dont wprk.
The camera is not THAT good but its good enough for normal use
The battery in Note2 is better than s5.(I'm not very sure though)
And off course the stylus..too useful for me
My sister is looking to buy a new phone. Note 2 is the cheapest of these.. Should we consider note 2 then ?

Hello ,
Yeah ofcourse , Note 3 and S5 are honestly very costly . If you buy a Note 2 and root it and install BlackTox Rom or DN3 Rom then it becomes an ultimate gadget . When I bought Note 2 it was the latest flagship . But as Samsung every year releases 2 flagships , Note 2 became old . Then these revolutionary ROMs were created by our respectful devs which gave a lifeline to my note 2 and I'm very satisfied with it . If your sister doesn't hesitate in buying Note 2 , then I would definitely recommend that you should go for Note 2 :thumbup::thumbup:

I agree with what Aeyan said but one thing we should keep in mind Note II won't see the next big android release since Google will stop supporting it soon.Compared to Note 3 which will get 5.0 for sure. So if you do root your sister's phone and such the latest version she can be on will be 4.4.2 or 4.4.3.So Note 3 might be a better investment compared to Note II.

I agree..so arent the ports as good? I'm sorry I'm still a beginner
For eg: my old phone was an sk17i. I broke the screen on that one but on the dev page there's always a new 4.4 rom

The current ports are awesome but most of us have had our phones for around a year if not more.So most likely we'd upgrade to note 4 this fall.We've been happy with what the developers are offering but since it's a TW based ROM,samsung has to depend on supporting our phone and then samsung tweaks it to add their stuff and releases to us.If you would only want to flash AOSP rom on note II then I am sure AOSP/CM developers will support note II for atleast another year easily but with AOSP rom you lose the functionality of many Samsung features like S note and other Samsung related software.

note2 does not have gorilla glass AFAIK..

For software features, almost all note 2 can have.

aah thanks!! but I just cant decide if 43k for a note 3 is worth it..note 2 was 27k last yr when I bought it and its 28k now.. No fall in price

Switching from note 2, need your opinion

Hi Friends,
My note 2 is dying and I have decided to switch to new phone.
Could you please suggest recent good ones?
I was thinking of Nexus 6
Any opinions?

Once Note, forever Note
So go for Note 4, Note Edge or Note 5.

Considering the Nexus 6 price drop, thats probably what I'd pick
But if money is not a concern, why not the Note 4/5 ? The S-pen has its moments. I think I would definitely miss it if/when I switch to a non-Note phone
PS: Note 2 dying ? I dont believe that, unless you broke it or something

My Note II, is almost still as good as new, so I wanted to try something even bigger this time over? so I'm using the Huawei X2 for the last 2 months now with the expectation that will return back to my Note once it's proven that the X2 is too big for daily use, but none of that happened so far?.
