Also curious if anyone can confirm how much better the loudspeaker is as Samsung has been weak there (my original HTC EVO loudspeaker always seems way stronger than Samsung handsets I've tried) but very glad to read (however have yet to actually hear) that its loudspeaker is:
http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-II-Review_id3134/page/3
"The loudspeaker here deserves special attention - it is very strong, stronger than on the original Note, and much stronger than on the Galaxy S III - but what is more, it sounds much fuller and with deeper bass than what we are accustomed to on smartphones."
Can anyone confirm this? -Thanks

Speaker definitely sounds a bit louder and clearer than original note

I read the the speaker of the original international Note1 was significantly weaker than the US AT&T variant so not sure to which you're referring to (ATM I can only guess the weaker INTL) but how would you compare it to others including the iPhone etc & are you satisfied with it or still disappointed by the Note2 "loudspeaker"?
Also would be cool if you could address the following when you get a chance

The camera worse than S3 ?

I've noticed that some people complain about the poor quality of Note 2 photos.
http://www.iphones.ru/iNotes/253676
Is it true that camera worse than the Galaxy S3?

On an iPhone website, they won't tell you otherwise. Try a more objective source, like gsmarena and the likes...
f.

The Note II takes pretty amazing photos IMO.
Check this album out! http://www.flickr.com/photos/magnus3dphoto/8060042512/in/photostream/

does anybody know if samsung again used different cam modules in production?
at least with sgs2 there were 3 different manufacturers (and thus different firmwares), guess it would be the same here!
what i've seen so far is that the pink blob in the middle of the picture is almost gone, which is a huge improvement! don't
know if they fixed it with the firmware or hardware though...
update:
the second note2 i recieved today has a slightly pink blob, so what i can say the quality of the cams seem to differ in a same
way then the screens. one screen of my 2 units has yellow tint, the second one not!

I don't now but I didn't have pink spot in the middle of the camera any more with GN2.

It is just an example. And here S3 in better than iphone 5 and Note 2.

Oh God, why? iPhone website? Kidding right? The camera is just amazing!

I wouldn't say that the camera is amazing...but it's pretty good.

I confirm that the camera is worse than SIII. I had both phones and SIII dominates in terms of picture quality. Although Note 2 has better exposition handling than SIII.

Well can't say about S3 but I had S2 and I might sound weird but the camera on Note 2 is poorer, overall.
One would really need to be a fanboy to call this camera amazing or have no idea about the word amazing.

Recently read a review (Anandtech maybe?) that included a comparison of Note II vs S III picture quality. They did blind judging (no, the judges wern't blind, lol) of photos and videos taken by both phones. They were indistinguishable to the reviewers.

I can definitely say the camera isn't too impressive with pictures. Although it's amazing with video.
Sent from my SCH-R950 using XDA

I have only iPhone4 so i can only compare with it. For the picture quality, iPhone4 still better than Note 2 imo. But iPhone4 doesn't have so many setting options like Note 2 has.

Hello,
Before i bought this phone was using Xperia S. Right now i can see well the value of my ex Xperia S. Because with its 12 MP camera that was possible to capture amazing photos without no blurry and noisy.
I have to confess that Note 2 does not have a good camera. I do not know about S3 but i know it is worse and worser than Xperia..

Me coming from a photon,evo 3d and many other phones and have used an s3, the camera quality is no different between the s3 and the note 2 as they use the same cameras, maybe you guys aren't use to seeing a picture this blown up on a screen like the note, and that's why you claim it's bad?

No, at least I don't give a damn how it looks on the phone. I transfer the files as soon as I can to my PC and see it there. The Note 2 camera is a below average camera.

You're only right about megapixel thing. Xperia S has a WAY better camera than Note 2. My friend has one and I often borrow it from him.

Best foto for me have nokia 808, but Note2 has too good quality photo

Most reviews give the N2 the better pic quality over the S3...I have both so I took a few pics on both under same settings, both outdoor and indoor, and to my eye I see no difference in either one, both look great. I though they both had the same hardware camera wise anyway?

Post your camera fw, mine is ZKFI07, so it says about different camera modules.

Our note 2 next to samsung's newest 'phablets' the "mega"

So I saw this article of size comparisons between phones, most notably the new Samsung phones named "mega" 5.8 and 6.3 respectively.
Does this mean that the note 3 is NOT going to be coming in the 6.3 flavor, and all the fuzz about the samsung bluetooth controller supporting "up-to 6.3" devices was just for this new "mega" phablet?
Look at the pics and tell me what you guys think.

the galaxy note 2 is now officially a normal sized phone LOL but samsung ruined the 2 new phones by putting in dual core processors (we're not in 2011 anymore samsung)

It's more of a midrange note.. it doesn't matter to Samsung how they get their money
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

Those are small Galaxy Tab 2 - 7 inchers. Not big phones.

I am quite comfortable with my more powerful Note 2 over those.
There is no way I can rock over a 6 " phone. I mean miles well just get the Note8.0 and call it a day...
We have to eventually have a boundary, lol!
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

Yes I didn't want to compare the mega phones to ours, as ours has better specs, but I DID want to show what maybe a future note 3 might look like, in the sense that there was a probability that it would be 6.3 inches.
With that said, I used to think that 6.3 was not going to be much bigger than our phones, but looking at the pictures says otherwise. I am a big guy 6'1 and I don't think it would be practical to have such a big phone.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

I hope the Note 3 looks just like that. The 6.3" one. I think it looks awesome.

The manager at T-Mo said that the rumor is that the N3 will be 6.4 almost an inch bigger than the N2. She also said to expect it really soon in a couple of months...

The Note 3 will be 6.5 in with OLED 1080p slim bezel, New s pen input octa core. Final designs and testing being complete. The Note 3 won't just be a bigger S4
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

Depending on price and frequencies, I'd rock one as a small tablet on the TMobile $30 plan (using data only). It's a better price than any tablet plan. Worst case scenario it might work on the AT&T tablet plans. That's my backup if the TMobile plan gets pulled. I dislike voip but I dislike high bills even more.

I have my Nexus 7 got my tablet needs. No need to get any bigger of a phone. I already feel like a meathead walking around while talking on this phone. I couldn't imagine holding the 6.3 or rumored 6.4 Note. Just to big.
With that said, just get a Note, 8.0 that has built in phone capabilities.

-I- want to use it as a pocketable tablet. If I make a call on it now and then, so the dub what?
It's funny to read all the "omg yura doof" comments...

No bigger for me. I just want faster performance and a better radio.

hopefully next SGS N3 will have bigger battery & better body design. we all know, how android is when it come to power mngmnt. picture of mega phablet on post #1 looks like a SGS N2 that'd been photoshoped. back button inverted. anyway, will display res size 1080p make real difference in daily use for average joe with smartphone ?

I giggle with confusion when people comment about users who talk on "big" devices, I chuckle in dismay when said owners of "big" devices say they "feel funny" talking on such a big device ............
-_-
Walking into a bar I hear "Is that a Note 2..... you're crazy that thing is too big"
In my head I would say .... ".... and you're out of line. ...^_^"...
Instead I did them one even better. ...I continued using my device and completely ignored him, in fact this is the first time I'm making reference to his comment and this was 10/12..... him and others can have a _/.... so many hypocrites and malnourished credulous followers. How do you get off saying a device screen is "too small"... yet later a device is "too big".. those sentiments are fine. ..however you missed the most important piece. . "For you".... get it ? The perfect device for you may not be the same for you. ..perhaps there are individuals who rather talk on a 10.1 in screen, while you prefer a smaller screen, why is either party concerned about the others preference? ??????? Irrelevant. Why voluntarily get a device or partake in something then speak negative and offer complaints, nobody forced you to get this phone. ..^_^
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

Really just makes me want a bigger Note. Now I just can't wait for the Note 3, since the Mega is a bit underpowered
noted for future reference on my Note 2

I prefer the larger screen on the Mega 6.3 but DPI is horrid. 1080P is a must these days. I don't mind the mid tier CPU since I don't game and prefer the longer battery life.

They didn't have a video, but the screen looks ok in the ubergizmo review's pictures.

S4 is the perfect phone.

I was using my buddies note 3, and it was way too uncomfortable to use, and the pixel density, and speakers sucked.
S4 is like an iPhone (size and usability wise), mixed with a note (bigger than iPhone).
Perfect phone. Never gonna buy another one.

HTC Hima (One M9?)
The portal has leaked images and specs. Apparently, it'll be running the Snapdragon 810 that Samsung just scrapped for the S6 in favor of it's Exynos chipset.
I've got my eye on it

Asus Zen2 looks mighty interesting.
I'm considering this for my next phone, hopefully some dev will take a shine to it and concoct something.

Agreed. Still my daily driver. Definitely love the screen size to phone size ratio..perfect! Developers are still active for this phone (Thanks!). Looking forward to the S6, but it's hard to let go of this phone!

It is the perfect phone
I completely agree. I bought the S4 in 2013 (M919) and lost it. I waited for the S5 and seeing it was crap, I bought the S4 again.
Recently I broke the screen and thought I'd check out other phones.
After filtering my constraints :
- 5 inch max cause I use the phone one handed
- Micro SD
- Physical buttons
- Removable battery
- Full HD display
GSM Arena phone finder returned just one result. The S4
Guess this phone is going to be with me for a long time.

This phone has everything you need, man. Every time I think about upgrading I find some downside that makes me remember why I shelled out so much for the S4 in the first place; this phone has top notch specs that'll last for YEARS as long as you take care of it. I still have the original battery and charger, and I've only had to change screen protectors twice in almost two years. If I were to take off the Otterbox and screen protector, you wouldn't be able to spot the difference between my used S4 and a new one right out of the box.
I'm in no rush to upgrade. I think the only reason that I have anyway is to change it up and try something new. Pound for pound the S4 still holds it's own against current flagships.

Camera Quality very poor

Hi all,
Merry Christmas
I've had my Tab a few month now and works perfect, apart from the camera which today I found out gives horrendous grainy image quality.
Is it just mine are are others getting the same quality? I tried cleaning lens using out of the case, holding perfectly still and also auto mode pro etc, My S8+ wipes the floor camera wise.
Very disappointed.

Just kidding (About being shot of course)
Cameras on tablets are more just for productivity and skype calls more than anything...
Nothing else

I originally had the Galaxy tab s3 and thought that was bad enough it was so slow just to search the internet or open apps, plus the camera was terrible, I got the galaxy tab s4 off eBay for 249.99 free plus shipping brand new sealed. And thought there was going to be a huge improvement in the camera, I was wrong, the tab s4's camera quality reminds me of a cheap $29.99 ZTE smartphone. It's processer is a lot faster at least, but this tablet needs drastic updates. I complained to Samsung saying that you can buy the newest generation iPad Pro 12.9 for 699.00 refurbished on Amazon, an absolutely phenomenal tablet. And bestbuy still has this tab s4 priced at 599.99! There tablets I don't know what is going on with them but Samsung does make some killer phones! My Samsung Galaxy S10 plus is amazing. I own my own photography company and It's camera is as good as my professional Nikon camera I use for photoshoots. I hope Samsung releases more updates for this tablet soon!

LOL, I asked about security updates seeing as mine is on May security update and was told that it is "the latest and most reliable update"... Since there was a MAJOR vulnerability found in July I think the next part "Security patch updates are being sent out if there are potential security vulnerabilities observed, or reported. We take security and privacy very seriously." is sort of a piss in the wind moment from Samsung...
Their phones are updated pretty fast, their tablets are left out in the cold...
I don't think there will be any major updates to the software any time soon, especially as the Tab S6 was just released... You want an upgrade then fork out $$$ for the latest and greatest...

Try using the GCam port for Snapdragon 835's it drastically improved the quality of my photos. You can get it here.

I didn't have any luck with that app with the Samsung Tab S4. But the Samsung Galaxy S10 camera app seems to help, It may also improve the Tab S3's camera situation. Then again anything is an improvement with the Tab S3 lol. The link is below.
