I mean to ask the 2nd phone to have with the note 2.I already have the note 2 and i want to buy a 2nd phone along with my note 2.

Well, to be honest I don't see the necessity of having two Android phones especially when you hold the top Android phone already in your hands. Buy a cheap phone for calls/text if that is your case. Buy an iPhone 5 to get the best of both worlds. Lol. HTC J Butterfly is a competition for the Note 2. Droid Razr Maxx HD for the greatest mAh battery for a phone.
Motorola razr m would be a good choice if something more portable is on ur mind..

iPhone 4s then. Will be cheap by now. But still no jailbreak though. Waiting for one on my iPad 3
Lumia 800 is dirt cheap now on payg. I might have to get one for times it would be dangerous to carry the note 2 and give me somewhere to put my 2nd sim. If only we had proper Google voice in the UK.

Im personally thinking of getting a nexus 4. (if they ever become available ) i know my note 2 is the best in a lot of ways but i can never have just one phone for extended periods of time. I think the smaller size and stock Android is a great second phone, especially if you don't like rooting and romming.

I used my note II along with a HTC One X and thought it was a great companion phone. Only thing that bothered me was the standby time of the HoX being around 4 days with an hr of screen time.
I also use an htc one x and the note 2 together. Great combination because you get the bad ass screen of the one x and the functionality of the note 2. Plus i just wifi tether to my one x to save me having a second sin card

Hi guys,
I have Galaxy Note 2 and i like it and all. Don't think it's too big either, i like the size, i like the phone in general.. but..
I am pretty much broke and want to sell it off, I never really use the S-pen anyway either. Can you guys suggest another phone for me? I had an galaxy S2, and i really like that one too! Or should I go for something else?
Hope i posted in the correct forum

Not sure if you can wait. If so maybe wait a bit to see what is coming . Gs4 is around the corner and the xperia phobe are nolice as well.
At the moment, for the larger screen the droid dna is probably the best option. Then there is always nexus 4

s2 is the cheapest choice it goes around 130 eu secondhand of course
Perhaps a controversial suggestion in these forums; but how about a Nokia Lumia 620? It does a much better job of being a phone than my Note 2. I use my Note 2 basically as my laptop...I wouldn't consider using it as my phone though given its size, price & complexity.
I also find that some of the core apps on the Lumia have no equal in the Android sphere (Nokia Drive works completely offline; Nokia Music is completely free - and you can store about 12 hours worth of offline music).
If only Android were a little more user friendly...

I vote for the Nexus 4. You're getting a great processor, and a guaranteed updates for a while. dollar for dollar / euro for euro, it can't be beat. If I were on a budget, I'd consider that... for 3 seconds... and buy it. But make sure you get a case! Some people who have dropped it have complained of shattering it. But I don't doubt that wouldn't happen with the Note 2 or any other device.
NEXUS 4 #FTW (that's cheaper than 400 bucks)
For cheap nothings better than nexus 4.
If you can afford or for everyone else buy xperia z or wait for s4

So hi guys
I recently got quite bored with my note 2
And sick of the fact that aosp wont ever be perfect on this phone because of Samsung notvreleasing sources...
And so I tried to trade it
I got an offer where I can get a 16gb used nexus 4 and around 125usd for my note 2
Do you guys think its worth the trade?
May I please have your opinions?
Thx
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
Perfect as in no spen features and such? Does the nexus 4 have spen to begin with. Basically u can install aosp rom and it will be exactly or not better then the nexus 4. Needless to say about the 5.5inch and long battery life. Why waste money on a downgrade when u can have the possibility of an upcoming dual boot kernal coming in.

The gnex has a 1.4ghz processor.

Note 2 is far better then nexus 4.
Also I heard nexus 4 has a pretty bad camera.

Sure. Asking this question in a forum of Note II owners isn't going to help you any. Everyone (like myself) has paid a lot of money for the phone so of course we're going to defend it (no one likes to think they purchased a lemon)
You'd better off looking in the phone you want to trade for and reading their opinions. Everyone phone sounds perfect on paper but when you get it has issues. Remember that.

Nope. Definitely i won't be changing it, Maybe the Note 3, but certainly the S4 i'll pass. I don't feel the need to do it, since, much i've already got in my note2, and if 4.2.2 and the S Drive comes to the Note 2, i am sure i won't need it!
Plus the Screen, i just LOVE bigger screens, whenever i get an S3 on my hands it feels like it's so small!

Some people say that there's more power in the s4 so that's why they're heading to the s4. Others are going for the smaller size cause they can't handle the note. And others have bought into the special features

My Choice
My Epic 4G died a few days ago and I had an upgrade. I chose the Note 2 over the S4. Battery life, bigger screen (to make up for the loss of my keyboard) and SPen plus other things that I cant put into words sold me. I used both side by side and just loved the Note2. When we get 4.2.2 I think that will make the note 2 even more awesome...IMHO. Now I have TWRP on it and trying out ROMs...Loving the Note 2. :good:

I don't think the megapixels have much to do with low light as the quality of the sensor itself and f.stop and aperture. I'd much rather a lower MP with better sensor and F.stop than all the megapixels in the world.
But i get your point nonetheless.
