Now that we have this super phone with this great 5.5 inch screen, are we now limiting ourselves to phones that are over sized like this one? Will smaller screen phones now be over looked by us?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Not overlooked. It will be more like the Burger King dwarf effect. I knew going into the Note this would be a problem. Honestly, I love the size and would hate to use something smaller. A couple of inches maybe but anything more than that and I will need a tablet.

not really sure how i'd actually be limiting myself by not purchasing something i don't want. getting a smaller screen under the 4.5-5.5" range would be a compromise.
Once you go Big, you never go back:
I used an Evo for the last two years and now that I have the Note, Its going to be hard going back to anything that small. a friend at work still has an EVO and I was showing him something on it, the other day and I could not stand how small the screen looked. I wondered how in the world was I able to do anything on such a small screen.

Likewise, I had Evo for 2yrs before upgrading to S3, and after 3months, i just got the Note 2 yesterday. Even the S3 feels small now lol.
I work for sprint and was drooling over the S3 for months, but the Note II was finally what got me to switch over from ATT. Putting it side by side with the S3 just makes the S3 look tiny. Putting it next to a iPhone 4S makes me lol. Now that I've watched a few videos on it I can't say I'd ever by a device with a smaller screen again...
4.0 screens will always be liked. Not everyone likes to walk around with a tablet as a phone. Even myself use my Nexus when in bed laying down. But love this phone as my daily phone.

I'll say it now, the longer you go with a bigger screen the harder it gets to go back.
For a tv and monitor I use a projector with a 120" screen for about a year and a half now. I now uncontrollably scoff at puny tv screens. My brother has a 50" plasma, I scoffed at it and told him to get such trifle out my presence.
Having a bigger screen really gives one a complex.

You must go through bulbs on that projector like butter. I'd love to do convert to projector, but basement setup does not allow.
Yeah I agree about the screen size. I gave my wife my S3 and now when I mess with it the display just seems so small... That is crazy since just 3 months ago I upgraded from my epic that was an upgrade from a pre...Crazy stuff. I probably will only get phones in the phablet style from here on.

I'm still on my original bulb. close to 3000 hrs on it, standard usage is spec'd at 3000hrs and eco mode is spec'd 4000hrs. my current bulb is getting a tad weak I know I'm due here for a new one pretty soon.
also you dont need much room for a set up. a 10ft throw distance and about a 7ft vertical clearance will get you 100" screen.
I dont want to thread jack any more than I have, if you got any questions shoot my a pm. I'd be glad to help out.
I'd still go back to a 4.3" slider if it had an HD screen and removable battery. I hate on screen typing.

I think is really possible for samsung to build it, i mean if you want to break it...there's no technology that will prevent it. But i see accidentally brakes to become a thing of the past, samsung has come far with its flexible screens(see CES). I don't see flexible screen going to the 'flexible' part of it and more to the 'endurance' part of it. Just because you can bent the screen 180 degrees doesn't make it practical as of today, but i can see a good use to the plastic glass-looking-flexible-screen(just have to make them scratch resistance). I take one please!
I had heard this a few days back...as mentioned above, a truly "unbreakable" screen is a myth and they are misleading you by referring to it as such. An incredibly resistant screen that can avoid breaking under common everyday sorts of accidents though? This I believe. I've seen a few videos around the net featuring some of their experiments with these bendable screens...and they are rather neat. I can honestly see a "flip-phone" style model coming out in a few years (as odd as it sounds)....basically if they keep everything on the phone, except the screen itself, on hinges as two parts...you can fold the phone flip phone style. Pretty neat to think about. I don't see the GS4 featuring this, OR an "unbreakable screen" (I can see this being more realistic for the GS5)...but I have been surprised before
Actually I saw a video of a sample display that Samsung was working on and the user rolled the screen up and unrolled it and started typing on it, it had a dark rim around it and a few lose wires coming from the corner. I thought it was some graphic trick at the time but it was pretty convincing and it was a little bigger than a Note 2 display by the looks of it, more like a tablet display.

Sony had this tech a while ago. As usual, looks like Samsung will take credit for it, though. I wonder why Sony keeps coming up with things, not protect it or market it, and have someone else take credit for it.
No. Sony had a phone with two screens that folded.

I saw this video too... I think this video was using "some" tricks and was more of a marketing video, but not an actual production item. It would be cool, but we are a long time from seeing that. I think he also stretched it out at some point too, correct?
Nokia has had prototype flexible screens for years.
I have been using note since the original note cane out and people start mocking it's size. And I had this issue since the note.. I am just wondering whether anyone else feels the same..
When you are watching a movie, playing a game, browsing the Web, or taking notes. Thank god for the more then palm size phone.
When you are on the train standing trying to balance and text or browse or even temple run, when you are taking a picture with one hand or trying to text or make a call while holding groceries or shopping stuff. God the big screen is so damn retarded and hard to manoeuvre.. Take note my palm is quite huge. To use the phone one handed it rest on my fingers for my thumb to reach the end of the screen where q is on the keyboard. And this is always frustrating as I feel as though the phone would drop if anyone bangs into me which happens alot in singapore..

Never had a problem with the Note 2 size. It really fits very good to me, I'm 6'2" and the phone feels really good to me, but when other people use it I realize how big it is in other peoples hands. Sometimes it makes me chuckle hahaha.
Use it for 2 hours. Each and every other phone would look extremely tiny to you.
As for the mobility never had a problem.

True story, for example, iPhone 4S and 5, they look so small for me, almost like a cereal box toy. I hardly think I can go back to phones with -5" screens.

I have small hands and the size is not an issue for me. I need to have a slim case on it to improve the grip but it's fine with that.
Sent from the mighty Note II.
Like many others I do not think about it being large until I pick up my old SGSI or see it in a shop next to other phones. Regarding one handed use I think the problem is caused by pourly designed interfaces than the size of the phone. Developers imo are still stuck in the world of Windows and insist on putting most command icons at the top of the screen when they should all really be at the bottom. This is especially true now that the average phone is 5" It's even a chore to do a lot of browsing with two hands the way things look today. Compare browsing with many tabs on BoatBrowser, with customizable icons on the bottom, to Chrome where everthing is at the top. Tiring!!
One last rant. If you must use it with one hand. Get a good case. Phones are not cheap, nor is insurance.
If you need to type one handed I can warmly recommend "messagease" keyboard which makes writing with the thumb a breeze.
i get greif at work mostly all the time about its size ...BUT ive never had a bad call and when i watch video i can actually see it even if i want to have subtitles
the irony is i remember getting greif when i bought a t28 by erricsson cos it was so small ...times they are a changing!
as a side note ...when i have to borrow the handed down 4s that i gave the wife when i !upgraded! it seems so damn small and almost impossible to use now
There is two kinds of people..
1, people who have a Note 2
2, people who don't have a Note 2 but want a Note 2
Why do you care what other people think? The Galaxy Note 2 is by far, the best handset on the market for my needs. I don't need a tablet anymore, hell; I have a £1350 computer just collecting dust.
Movies, games, music, drawing, browsing the internet etc is significantly better with a larger screen.

For my one year of using note 1 I have not seen someone with big enough hands to COMFORTABLY use the phone one handed on the train or even walking. Thus, I call you guys fan boys for claiming size of the phone is just nice.
Of course I live in singapore where the average height is 1. 7metres so there may well really be people who can comfortably use the phone in one hand without risk of dropping. But whenever I use mine one handed it would be quite taxing on the heart as it can easily drop, especially when using cases which are smooth to the touch.
I apologise for coming across as being angered but I assure you I am not.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2
I always thought it was ridiculously big for a phone but when the Note 1 became on sale and I needed a tablet anyway I thought wth I'll give it a try. Just of a couple of days with it and I can't imagine going back to anything smaller. I use MessagEase for one-handed texting btw. Now I have a Note 2 and it's great although sometimes I'm thinking of switching to an S3. Size has never been an issue for me but sometimes the weight is.
Coming from Dell streak 5, makes me not an early adaptor, I felt that the Note 2 was perfect for my hand, I had to skip the Note 1 bcs I found it not very comfortable in grip and did not look at it was a real upgrade. Note 2 was very different, I remember the first time I hold it and had the wow effect on me. As for the Note 3 I don't know if it will be a real upgrade compare to this device or not, hope they don't go crazy with this screen size wars, but if 3 will have the same size as 2 but with bigger screen and smaller bezel and no physical button I might go for it, as for 8 core, I don't really care much since for what I use the device even 4 core is overkill for me.
Oh I almost forgot, the only thing that might make me switch from Note 2 to 3 is , battery, if they manage to put a 6500 mA for the same thickness they got my money in advance.

After more than 1yr with note1, now after 5th day of use of n2 i must say it is not good for me. I hate the aspect ratio - screen is bad. N2 is fluid like water and i wish i could replace n2s motherboard into original n1 body.
I use tablet layout on n1 so swype notifications from bottom right corner is not a problem while holding one hand....ability to press back button while holding in left hand....
So i really need to find quick tablet ui for n2 and give it a try as first impressions from stock are negative - only to aspect ratio and too much over saturated screen. and feels blurry to me.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
I much prefer the note 2 body. Slimmer more manoeuvrable although not by much. Tablet UI how about the famous hybrid rom? Cm10 though.
On note 1 the cm10 was much faster then the stock samsung skinned. However on the note 2 with jellybeans stock skinned.. Cm10 seemed slower to me.

note1 naked....also looks like that right now...silver finish is worn out.
I have a slim cover for n2 and feels the same as n1 but higher. Without cover it is perfect but i am not sure if i am gonna keep n2. Maybe wait for s4, also xperia z in question only because of ip certification.
Also i feel uncomfortble not having the possibility view s notes from other sources like pc or something. This make spen for notes uselles and have to make notes on catch or evernote.
So spen nice feature but personally stopped using it much. So then s4 is smaller and 0,5 inches diff in screen not much.

As for me, I sincerely hope the buttons are capacitive. I've never been a fan of on screen buttons for various reasons, not to mention. If they are on screen buttons, what the heck is the big black strip at the bottom for? It holds the HTC Logo, sure, but if that's the only reason, then make more use of it. Put some freaking buttons there. Lol. I absolutely love my HTC One 2013, and I'm more than likely getting the 2014 model (which i really hope is called the One Up as some rumors suggest), but the on-screen buttons kill me.

On screen isn't a game breaker for me. Just a nitpick. The all metal body and front facing speaker (as well as the Sense UI,which IMO isthe best stock UI) are enough to warrant me wanting one. Plus I have to buy a phone so I can give my wife my old M7

meh, on screen keys will be quite nice, and im positive they'll be customize-able once rooted and xposed added in, just look at aosp, can put almost whatever button you want down there.
I actually find on-screen buttons more comfortable. Capacitive buttons on a large device dramatically increases the range of thumb motion required to efficiently operate it one handed. I can't say how many times I've tried to elegantly enable on-screen buttons on my GS3, but each time I was successful it was much less of a reach to hit the menu button.
I am excite for this phone. Seems more and more like a real winner. I don't mind a 2600 mah battery as the GS4 had that same size and was just fine. I was concerned they'd go with 2300-2400, at which point it'd be a deal breaker.

I disagree on the on screen buttons, but it's an opinion, so there's no point in arguing it.I would LOVE to see a 3000 mah battery, but supposedly 2600 is "confirmed." I personally am skeptic about anything being confirmed until HTC themselves says it.

The company YooTech which is probably the same as Pleason, is sending their version 2 protector to me. They said that it is slightly wider. When I get it, I'll try to remember to post pics.
When I remove the protector that I have applied now, I'm going to lay a straight edge across the screen because I can't see any slight curve. This screen looks to be flat as a pancake. [emoji1]

The screen has a slight beveled at the edge that starts ever so slightly back and for glass screen protectors this is a problem even though it doesn't look like it should be

When you do lay it across long ways at the bottom or top so you get 3 of the edges
There is a slight curvature but it's still a good amount of distance from the edge of the display. You can see the curve when you hold the device in an angle and put it in direct light the reflection will show the angle. But there is still space to go wider.
I have a dial indicator at my work. I'll use it to see exactly how much of a curve we are dealing with. Not that it matters, I just want to see.

It's very minimal. The o e plus 3 had more and they managed to get some decent tempered covered the display and a bit more
I've had one of these ordered about 3 weeks ago from Pleson through Amazon. Said they shipped it 10/18, but they 'forgot' to provide a tracking number and can't find one now, but are sure it shipped. They were good about offering a refund, though. Of course, the original picture they were marketing it with - showing it with the Pixel XL - also showed the camera & speaker areas as cutouts, not whole sections cut to the edge, which was one reason I ordered theirs vs all the rest that look essentially identical.
I'm waiting on Intelliarmor's PRO glass - it's the only one that went essentially full edge-to-edge (less about 0.5mm) on my Nexus 6, which had similarly rounded edges.
