Buy Note 2? Or wait for Note 3? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can't decide
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

I hear the Note 4 will be awesome. Why not wait for it? There will always be a better phone on the horizon.
You could just buy the Note2 now, sell it as soon as the Note3 comes out and you will have most of the Note3 paid for.

Lol at the sarcasm. Umm I recently got it and love every bit of it, and don't see any chance of regretting in the futures. I tend to regret if there are issues or anything I am unhappy with, but NONE so far

You never going to get anywhere playing the "waiting game" with Android.. most def with HTC.. HTC One X, V,S den One X+ and now a Droid DNA, HTC J Butterfly.. and a rumored HTC Deluxe aka GSM DNA
Its always going to be a better phone than the current version..
Lets say you wait another year... and the Note 3 doesn't have what you expected..

Get the Note 2. When you get bored, then get the Note 3. :victory:

if they do a note III. There might be something completely different in 12 months!

my personal opinion would be get note 2 now.
because its still new, holds value pretty well, but once we are in 2013, i would consider S4.
to be honest I change phone roughly every 2 years, and I just get the one that I will be happy with, that's future proof ish (eg. LTE) for 2 years.

Note 6 is the best! Full 1080p 3D screen, and the screen is FOLDABLE!
I'd wait!

Wait for note 12.

Impressive trolling.
Do your research, make your mind up and stop expecting to be spoonfed. You give no info as to what your needs are, hence any advice from others is almost as pointless as your question.
This is a dev forum, not halp-me-no-know-wot-I-want-me-5-years-old.com.

Yes order the note 3 here,

Good luck & hope they make a good job of making it

i heard about the note 20 , it will include features such as teleportation, transoformation with a hit of a button, 100000mah battery 10 inch screen multiple quad cores in one and many other impressive features

Quad cores? Man who is your source? It has kilo-cores : 1024 cores

The Note2 is the best phone available today. I have used mine extensively for work and play, lots of travel and there is nothing that compares. My wife has an iPhne and my old GS2, and they both look like dinosaurs.

The New Nexus will probably come at around Christmas time or slightly earlier if I had to guess. Not sure about specs, but probably similar to the S3's specs.

No you bought the right device. The gs3 will still go for around $450 by CHristmas time. I sold my galaxy note for $390 and it's been out for a while now. So you can still get that Nexus.

Yea I mean no doubt that the S3 has better resale value... I'm just starting to miss the software side of the Nexus and all of the customization it has (and I love the virtual buttons and design of the phone). No doubt though, the S3 blows the Nexus away in terms of benchmarks and gaming

Yeah I know what you mean though. I used to have a galaxy nexus. Love the ROMs and the updates. I actually wanted the one x but I got this since I plan to get whatever new device is released this winter so I opted for resale value over what I really wanted. Don't get me wrong, the s3 is probably the best phone out, I just wanted to try the new htc sense.

Agreed. I also had a One X a couple months back when it first came out and it was surprisingly laggy and the multitasking did not work well at all. I'm sure all of those bugs are fixed now though

if you are eligible for an upgrade right, i would suggest to not use it, and either pick up a used Nexus or the one straight from Google's Play store. this way, you can save your upgrade for when the new Nexus comes out, but still have a good phone for right now.
upgrade to the "new" iphone then trade it for both the Note 2 and GS3. :silly:

Hi
nop
i cannot update i just update 9 month ago. But good point, i migh get a use nexus. Im in canada so i cannot order a phone from Google play store.
Thanks

Which phone to buy??

Should I get the
- Samsung Galaxy Note 2
- Samsung Galaxy S 3
or
Wait for Galaxy note 3.. or wait for Galaxy S4 ?
I'm not sure when the GN3 and GS4 are coming out.. so I dont know if I even should wait.
I really need and want a phone right now as my other android phone's screen is pretty cracked.
I dont mind the size.. so Idk which one I should get..
Does the Note2 have as much development as the SGS3? I'm into the whole dev kinda thing.. im not here to buy a phone to keep it stock.
-----> I will thank everyone's posts <-------
The Galaxy S4 won't be out for at least several months and the Note 2 is only a couple of months old, so the Note 3 is a way off yet.
As far as development goes, check out the development section of the Note 2 forum, it's very active. Having said that, the stock software on the Note 2 is pretty good, especially if you want to take advantage of the S-Pen.

I am in the same shoes as you... Almost. I currently have an S3 and just bought the Note 2 also. I am contemplating if I should keep the Note 2 and sell the S3 or just return the Note 2 and preserve my upgrade for the S4 or N3.
I don't know why you would want one or the other but let me tell you what motivates me. I want the Fastest phone, best battery life. The Note 2 does that. The thing I didn't count on was actually coming to a conclusion that a 5.5 inch screen wasn't too big.
So it depends what floats your boat.

If I do sell one it will be the S3 and it will be in the next 3 days most likely. My 14 days is up on the Note on Saturday so I have to make a decision by then. I will pm you if I decide to sell the S3.

I had a S2 first before i bought my new note2, all in all it depend on what you wish for. We can answer or decide for you which is better. Thing that you have too keep in mind and ask your self are. 1. Will you be confortable having a big phone?, if not a S3 seems perfectly. My case , everybody seems to have a laugh at my big phone, some like it a lot, others find it just too much. But when i put on a show with it, they are like damnnnn.
The only problem with the note is when you have it, you most likely never would go back to a smaller phone again.you will feel strange having a S3, or 2 in hand.
im coming from the s3 which is a great phone but you wont regret note 2 bro its AWESOME:highfive::highfive:
Got both and whole heartedly recommend the Note 2
Go for the note 2 !! you wont regret it :good::good::good:
Coming from my s2 which is still very good. The galaxy note 2 is amazing an makes my old phone look slow. Better battery life faster in all aspects download ing etc. Once u use one u won't want to swap. Big or not it still the best phablet on the market.

Just gone from the desire hd to the note 2. Wouldnt ever go back to a smaller screened phone again. Even the girlfriends S3 looks tiny compared to the note 2 but after a few days you get so used to it, you couldnt use anything smaller. The iphone looks miniscule compared aswell. Have to laugh everytime I see one

I went from the GALAXY S III to the Note II and haven't looked back -- the Note II is a dream to use, feels great in the hand and in many ways has replaced my computer for every day tasks (e-mail, web browsing, basic document and spreadsheet creation, calendar management, and social networking). I absolutely love it and would wholeheartedly recommend one.

imo I like having 2 devices. cuz I'm always paranoid Ill accidentally drop the note2 and ill be ****ed if the screen cracks. If I can do a redo ill get a s3 and save another $100 for a n7.
OP. I suggest to wait for the S4. But gotta admit, that's a long ass wait till it drops.
Note II is all about the pen for me. I personally wouldn't wait for the S4. Note3 maybe =P
S3 to Note 2, I will only stick with Note series
Maybe I'll bring back that ipad mini I picked up and upgrade my s3. Oh the pressure!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
If it's in your budget, get the note 2 now and wait a month or two after the S4 comes out to see if it's worth getting and not plagued with issues. Then sell the note 2 and pay the extra 150 dollars or so to get the S4.
The note 2 is an extremely solid device. You might end up waiting 6 months for a device that isn't worth waiting for

If the S4 is worth getting, I plan on doing my plan above. But imagine putting off getting a great phone now and the S4 ends up being a total disappointment (just like the Nexus 4 IMO)

I would do what I did, get the note 2 now, and if you want the S4 later open a second line, sell the note 2 for profit, and take your first line down to the bare minimum.

A Note 7? That would be a bad idea and it would be competing with the Note 2 if they released something like that.

The multi-view is amazing for multi-tasking. The phone is ridiculously fast stock, I can't imagine over clocking, and the battery has lasted me close to two days on normal use.
The S pen is also pretty fun to use
Yeah so wait for the S4 to come out oh but it doesn't have S-Pen functions oops now you find out the Note 3 is about to come out then you wait for it but oh the processor is not as fast as you'd like it to be so then the Note 3 is out but the S5 is announced oh but it doesn't do my chores for me then oops the Note 4 is announced so let's wait for that oh but it doesn't make me look thinner... then the S6 is announced...
Unless you have an unlimited pit of money, you shouldn't worry about new tech or getting the latest and greatest (because the latest and greatest gets unseated tomorrow). Pull the trigger, experience what ever pulls you towards it, then wait for another upgrade price to come around since the tech will always be newer, better, and more expensive. :laugh:

See no reason to switch to S4 myself. Except for the full HD screen, but at the risk of losing a .5'', SPen and awesome 3100mAH battery. There are more features, but most s/w features will come to N2 eventually, so I don't think it's compelling enough to make a switch. If I wanted FHD display that bad, I might have switched to HTC One or something.
Love my Note 2 and sticking with it at least until N3 comes out.

Exactly what I did. I replaced my S3 and became a happy owner of a Note 2. You cant compare them. The Note 2 is way better.
The only thing I would buy next is a Note 3.
If you don't care for the S-pen, you can consider the new LG Optimus G Pro looks like a beast.
I'm waiting for the Note 3 and then I'll decide which one I'm getting next.

As above. Samsung already said we would get most of them. Other than that the note 3 in October will be both bigger and better than the s4. Personally I'm done, I've been through so many phones over the last three years and I'm tried of constantly updating. The Note 2 is the first one that I can say I'm truly satisfied with. I'll only be updating every two years from here on in which means note 4 for me.

TouchWiz devices usually start to lag after a new flagship comes out (the old one will be updated with a newer system but the features will quickly bog the phone down), e.g. Galaxy S3 with Android 4.2 and 4.3.

I moved on from my Sprint Galaxy Nexus to a Nexus 5, I'm on T-Mobile now.
By the way, to anyone wondering which phone they should get?
Nothing compares to the Nexus 5.
Switching to T-Mobile and getting a Nexus 5 after work today. I can't wait.
I would love to switch to a Nexus 5 on T-Mobile. But from what I hear from other T-Mobile users in my area is the network coverage sucks. The people I work with have to go outside to make a call.

According to the coverage map, my area is pretty good. But isn't T-mobile going through some stuff to boost their network? I thought there was some news about them buying towers or something from Verizon. I can't remember. It can't be any worse than AT&T was in my area when I was on that.

Well it depends on your setup and eyes. But simple things like flicking around the home screen, scrolling in widgets lag on the note 3 but not on the nexus 5 if you put them side by side.
Then again the note 3 I seen might be a different variant from yours, which also probably comes with a different regional software too.

I'm still considering this one myself, did it take you a long time to get used to the extra device width? I'm thinking it might put quite a bit of extra strain on your thumb when using it single-handed.

I have no issues with it. I like how it feels. But if that's something you may have an issue with, I'd suggest going into a store where they have it on display and check it out in person.

I just got my Nexus 5 guys. Its an awesome device. I love the galaxy nexus. But if you need to update, the Nexus 5 is the way to go.

How is the battery life, in your experience? Since I have the extended battery it's been really difficult to let it go but would it make a super big difference?

Battery life is fine for me. Compared to the galaxy nexus, its a lot better. I can get through a whole day easily with the Nexus 5. Something I couldn't do with the gnex. Everyone's going to have a different experience though.
glad i found this thread - exactly what ive been looking for. i have loved my g-nex but its time to upgrade. was thinking about switching to the nex5 but hadnt really heard much. now i have. ill be swinging by the tmobile store this afternoon...
Smashed mine...
I smashed my screen, replaced it with a Xiaomi Mi3 because it has Gorilla Glass 3.
