You typically have to wait 3 to 6 months after MWC and CTIA unveilings for the phones to be available in retail stores.

If you're in the US then the phone reach here till the end of next year. If you want something now, then Nexus is a good option.
With Samsungs horrible releases, you wont se the phone in stores before late summer. Thats my guess. I would recommend to jump on the Nexus train, and try to sell it when S3 is out.
Wait for the s4
I would think the main factors are
1) what phone are you using right now
2) do you want it soon or do you want to wait anywhere from Q2 - Q4 2012
I doubt GS3 will be as redefining as GS2 was, nor will we know how touchwiz on ICS will be like exactly.
A lot of uncertainties in my opinion.
QUESTIONS BELONG IN THE Q&A FORUM PLEASE REMEMBER IN FUTURE.

Pointless asking the question because no one knows, but doubtful it will be less than a couple of months after the S4 is released.
Chances are the S3 will get a leak first.

Based on the press release i got from Samsung this morning, it said S4 will be out in the market by the second quarter. Check the part of the release on the quote below:-
"Samsung GALAXY S 4 will be available from Q2 globally including US, partnering with AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, as well as US Cellular and Cricket. In Europe, Samsung GALAXY S 4 is partnering with global mobile operators such as Deutsche Telecom, EE, H3G, Orange, Telenor, Telia Sonera, Telefonica, and Vodafone."
First S4 release march 25 or 28 in the UK.

s4 will be released by april 1st week.........korea, india and china, UK....in that order and late april or early may in the US (they need to bloat it with carrier ****..you know)
No idea what's the so benefit of 4.2.2! I'm quite happy with 4.1.2 and afaik there are not much in 4.2.2, other than support for multiple accounts and some small stuffs.
'Swyped' from my GT-N7100
I wonder if the 4.2.2 update will bring some battery improvements like on the Nexus devices that would be nice!
To answer the op, my prediction is the S4 comes out first (during April) then a month after we start to see leaks for the S3, and after that for our Note 2, it could take 2 to 3 months, hopefully a 4.2.1. Update will come in between.

4.2.2 has some A2DP (Bluetooth audio) fixes that I am desperate for! I use A2DP in the car and I am sick of the constant dropouts.

We will probably get the update before Verizon and sprint
Maybe around same time as T-Mobile
And Google should be showing 4.3 next week so we might get the update before the note 3

I agree. I believe the note 3 will launch with the newest version, international note 2 will get updated shortly after (I'd say a few months) then the last update will be us.
Only other option would be to get 4.2 out on the note 2 (all variants) as quickly as possible and launch the note 3 with 4.3 in late October. I can't really see this happening though in my opinion. The less versions Samsung and the providers have to check and test the better it is on everyone.

Is this your first Android phone? Typically it takes 6 months after Google shows an update for it to come to you (at least)

The other option will NEVER happen. If they were to release 4.3 for our phones before the note 3 comes out..... they'd be shooting themselves in the foot because then there would be no reason to upgrade. This phone is already on the edge of perfect. New OS is really the only reason I would upgrade when the time comes for me.

One manufacturer out of how many?
Look at the history of android, that happened maybe twice.
6 months at least is typical (I would even say expected)

That would be before the official build hits us
But what about leaked builds
The DNA got leaked builds of sense 5 like 2 months after it was released
And there still isn't the official build for it
We will have it whether it be official or not
But it will hit us real soon
I say 2 months tops before leak

Not just 3
Look at the s3
Or the xperia ion and the to and pretty much every other Sony phone
And nexus 4 with 4.3
And Google edition phones with 4.3
And HTC one with 4.2.2 sense
The list goes on and on
I Dont doubt that we will receive a leak soon

No more updates from Samsung for our Note 2. Yes I am rooted yes I know how to flash roms been doing it for years. It's just really getting on my nerves how this phone is still a beast and it's pretty much abandoned by Samsung on purpose to herd us to a new phone.
I didn't do a nexus because I was with sprint at the time but since I am gsm now all I need is a nexus with a 5 inch screen.
Sorry about the rant, but it got to me today while lurking the note 2 forums.
Where did you see that? I thought the update was going straight to 4.3 and dropping late this year?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hope you are right, my hopes are not really that high. Guess it will be all good when I actually see the update.
Samsung sent updates or for GSII earlier this year even as the GS4 was coming out. I see no reason to fret over loss of support at this point. We should be Ok. The limiting factor frankly is T-Mobile...
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
I think maybe one more major update, then 1 or 2 security updates.

Isn't that Samsung's standard mo. I had a behold 2, then a vibrant, same update empty promises. If you want current software get a nexus. I vowed never to buy another non nexus android ever, until I picked up this note 2. I bought this phone knowing that it would never get an update. It's in Samsung's best interest to sell new phones, not update old ones

I'd be willing to bet the Note 2 gets at least android 4.4. Eventually.

Once the Note 3 drops then it will get updated,I mean hell the s2 got Jellybean but it is frustrating waiting though
According to sammobile back in March it was supposed to get 5.0 as we thought it would be called that at the time.
I doubt they would change that but who knows.

No offense but why are you saying stuff like this with no sources? It's just ridiculous... I could understand this a few years ago but not these days. Like another said, it all falls on tmobile and their addition of bloatware, testing, and then its release. And you won't see a major update until the Note 3's drops.

Nah...didn't the S2 just finally get Jellybean a few months back. They may put them on a back burner while they put their efforts into big projects like the Note 3 and Android 4.4 but they come back to these other phones after those releases. Technology is moving so fast they must be scrambling to keep up.
Android 4.3 coming to Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4 in October, no word on Note 2.
I guess we'll wait a little longer...
Have you seen the Unpack event for Note 3 today?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaBP1zLZBzY
Pranav mistry mentioned that an update is coming in October for GS3 and Note2 for Galaxy Gear. Hopefully it will be 4.3
They did indeed say October however I will believe it when I get it. I have a feeling there will be a while a whole bunch of shenanigans with "delays".
October for the international right? Dont then the carriers gotta get their hands on it?? And kit kat is right around the corner? Love this phone but I can't be 2 android version behind..thats 2 years.. google edition note 3 would be nice or im waiting to see what the nexus 5 has in store..

Yup... Very true. But at least when Sammy does release an update... We can be sure ptmr3 (and others) will do a JediX version. The only thing we'll be missing until T-Mobile drops theirs is the WiFi calling. Still with the press releases today... Everything is very exciting lol!

Dude be patient! We'll all be very happy soon enough whether people jump to the Note 3 or those who keep their 2 for a while. Updates will come sooner than you think since the 3 will be released. We'll have a international ROM first then us carrier's a couple months later. Good things with happen! Be cool people! Lol

Common sense tells me if the S3 is getting it... We'll be getting it around the same time. I doubt Sammy's promoting it due to the Note 3's close launch. Yeah its rather sneaky but it makes sense, right? Good find though!
