[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
How can you guys say it's ugly? I think it looks very elegant! I think on the pro side of the device, it fits very comfortably in one hand. I had the SGS2, and they said it's just a tiny bit bigger. So I imagine it will be a dream to hold in the hand!

The software looks wonderful, and the camera, WOW! I love 0 lag, I love that it takes multiple pictures and you can pick the best one. It's fantastic!

I REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVE the Notification light. That is kind of making me want to trade in my Note for the SGS3. But then the screen would be smaller, battery is a little smaller, but it does have some awesome hardware.

But maybe someone can enlighten me, it uses the Mali 400 graphics chip... so.... It's got the same graphics possibilities as the SGS2, and Note? That's kind of a bummer. Isn't it? I mean, it has a good graphics chip! But it's the same one they've been using for well over a year now.

Regardless, I think it's a fantastic upgrade to the SGS2. I don't know if I'll change my Note for it, only because I'm so happy with my Note. I WOULD prefer a SLCD or IPS display or something like that, but it's Samsung. Anything that comes out from them is going to have some kind of OLED screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
Most of the Note users would be disappointed with screen less than 5.3

Most of the users would be happy to upgrade but for me, because of it's design and 8mp camera (and small screen too) it is rather Galaxy S 2.5 NOT Galaxy S 3.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EdgaBimbam:
hmmm galaxy s3 is really nice, but i bought note 2-3 months ago and it passed not so much time for changing phone, i would rather wait for note 2 :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dhuewes:
I liked the SGS3, but also agree with most of you guys that I like the SGN more!

What makes me like the SGN more is the bigger screen, also its proportion (16x10) ans the S pen. And after official ICS upgrade with the Premium package, it will be even more appealing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mancuk29:
Get ics on the note and we will have the best mobile out there. . Hugely dissapointed with the s3 expected a more pretty phone for the spec it is just a run of the mill phone. . Its like putting a porsche engine in a focus body what were samsung thinking of

Im glad i dont need to think too hard about whether i get the s3 and trade ib my note cos i wouldnt lay out £500 for it sorry samsung
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] leoni1980:
No upgrade to camera?

I assume the people moaning about the lack of a camera upgrade might be persuaded to swap their 8mp Nikon for my 26mp Vivitar from Argos?

The camera module has clearly been upgraded and is NOT the same as in the S2/Note. True HDR is achieved at a hardware level, along with ZSL. So taking this into account, I can only assume that people think that Samsung have made these tweaks to the camera without touching the optics AT ALL. I find this highly unlikely. In all likelihood Samsung have taken the sensible step of NOT cramming 12 million pixels in there for no good reason as this means smaller individual pixels unless the sensor itself is greatly increased in size. It also increases the noise levels due to increased heat from the sensor. I've seen this in the Xperia S, though I have to say I haven't seen any examples from the One X. I would rather have the highest quality optics than a load of squashed together pixels that I'll never use. Let us reserve our moaning about the lack of camera upgrade until we actually see some examples. 99% of users have no need for 12 megapixels; those that do should invest in a quality DSLR as they have the space for 12million + pixels without forfeiting quality.

Alternatively buy an N8 - which has a HUGE sensor to achieve its superlative performance.

Samsung just loves copying features from other phones.. well it works .. they're making good phones..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] letters_to_cleo:
well... still, DON'T JUDGE the BOOK BY IT'S COVER..

This phone, as Fugly as it looks, the features are still worth noting still. Plus it's still a 4.8" phone. That alone, I think it can still stand out in the crowd whenever and wherever you might show it off (*if you would to your friends).

The specs are quite promising and who knows... just like the Iphone 4S which at first released, people have all the bad publicity and comments to raise on to.. YET, after quite awhile... they themselves have succumb to buying it eventually.

Let's give this 'new guy' a chance to show some strut also... At least in my dictionary, this is wayyy better than HTC and HOX itself...

no pun intended to HTC lovers reading this okay? :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ages_devil:
if there is one thing i like about the GS3 it is the notification light .. other than that it has the same screen but smaller and quad core is worth nothing for me at least in daily phone usage, battery life will be good but the note has a great battery life, blutooth 4 is good also but i will not use it, and we will be getting ICS soon, don't get me wrong it's a good phone and all but it's like being 4S'd by samsung ... and what with all the nature talk!! c'mon samsung i expected something better than that but i have a feeling that everyone is copying apple in some way or another which is something i don't like at all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tytung2020:
I look again at its photos, and I can confirm to you, it's ugly to me.

Why? because the screen is rectangular and yet the chasis is too rounded. Dunno about you, but I see this as some kinda incoherence..and it's too thin and long...

Note is much more elegant.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] razorhanny:
I think samsung is trying to devalue the Galaxy S line and make the Galaxy Note line it's flagship devices, because what they did to the S3 in comparisson to the Note is looking like what motorola did to the Atrix2 in comparisson to the Razers!

Galaxy Note 2 here I come!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] raines43:
I think the S3 looks great and has excellent features and specs. I won't be trading in my Note for one but if I was in the market for a new phone it'd be a tough call for me between S3 and Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Note_E:
Dafuq you talking about?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] azeter:
Note is any day better than the ugly s3 luv my note
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mystic38:
i dont understand the dramatic urge to pee on the S3, so perhaps some obvious comments help..

this phone is NOT FOR YOU.. geddit?.. its a real regular phone, not a big phone.. its neither a competitor nor a replacement for the Note.. Anyone who wanted the Note wanted the big screen and IT DOESN'T HAVE ONE.

So if we all calm down and consider it for what it is, i.e. a regular, non-Note sorta phone.. my apologies to the whiners ..but it rocks..

Samsung did a phenomenal job of presenting the information well to a consumer (not techie) audience and discussed its features and benefits from a users perspective, and those benefits are there to see for anyone with an open mind.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sharan.mu:
Yes very true statement after seeing S3.. i am very disappointed..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ngocdao:
I don't know how its trying to copy Siri?

Voice commands have been in smart phones years before the first (2G) iPhone did, let alone the 4S. In fact, voice commands were in movies decades before the first cell phone was invented.

But technology has to evolved; phones can't have the same boring stoic monotone robotic voice command feature forever. Someday, we'll be able to talk to our phones the way Tony Stark talks to his artificial intelligence :D and all engineers probably hope to achieve it feeling that natural (and personal)

Things change .. trends change.. and the only damn credit I think Apple should be given is for basically, their free market research..

And what's wrong with 8mp?

They may have the same mp but they are not the same camera/sensor.

The misconception of higher mp=higher quality photos is like quad core > dual core.

With the new camera features revealed today, it's highly improbable that it's the same sensor. I'd pick a good 8mp over a c-grade 12mp anyday (look at LG's 12mp photos)

I am sure the patent wars had something to do with making the s3 look basically nothing like any other phone out there. (So yes its ugly 'now' because it looks nothing like anything else out there but wait until more people begin to adopt and adapt to these designs and perhaps will feel norm)

Still, this photo makes it look sexy and shape almost exactly like a GNexus

I don't see how Samsung, or any other company, would benefit through devaluation of their own products .. . The Galaxy S line is what saved their company, not even mentioning it was the best selling phone in the world. The Note's revenue is nowhere near what the S2 has raked in.

And uhh.. Atrix 2 and Razr isn't even on the same carrier. Their prices are also very different
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] avetny:
SGS3 IS THE BEST PHONE FOR NOW !

Only one can be very dangerous to Samsung galaxy s 3!

Is the HTC one S

Krait dual core A15

provide extremely aggressive CPU attack ! 222 linpack !!!!! this monster killing any phone (quadcore/dualcore) in CPU war.

Of cause GPU is not perfect "Adreno 225"

Love my Note but will be importing one of these babies. Thats the beauty of being GSM. M,W,F uh lets take the Note. T,TH,Sat,Sun lets go with the S3 or vice versa :D. Choice is a wonderful thing
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sbrownla:
I would get a Note before I got an SIII.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] knights665:
I think the s3 is sexy but I would take a note 2 over it.... I just hope the note 2 or the s3 come tk verizon

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] arungk2:
sorry guys i think the design of s3 is very bland :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mazhongtao:
it is ugly ,i can not tolerate the appearance of s3,actually

it has beyonded the extent of ugliness ,i think the note

is still the king cellphone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sharkonland:
Now is it just me or is the display on the galaxy s3, slightly on the top side of the phone. It really messes up the look because the button looks out of place and not in center. On the Gnexus , iphone, gNote, the display is centered and looks proportionate.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mazhongtao:
yes but it lets me down ,not only the appearance but olso

the horn was set on a wrong place ,my holy sh*t ,the most

stupid design i have ever seen about the top cellphone,,,

Here we go:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Feras.Rehman:
For me s3 looks cool! :D it's lockscreen rocks! :D perfect lockscreen. Wouldnt need any app to replace it! Then bring it near ur ears and it calls d person. Wireless charging.. what more can a phone do? :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kdskamal:
Yes. Galaxy note's screen packs more pixels too.

I just didn't like the color selection. I'm not a white phone person but I'd rather have the marble white over the pebble blue. But I actually like the design. It's elegant. Hehe. I'm not trading my note for it though. I love my note. :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Raphael Alo:
I'd only get an s3 if it was 2gb RAM. Less ta that, stick with note
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dennishhh:
I think Samsung took a look at the phone in black and said " boy is this ugly" maybe we can fix it if we make it white!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Marct77:
If you want the burst mode of the SG3 try 'fastburst camera' in the play store
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mramzi:
I think that Galaxy S III is small clone of Galaxy Note with steroids

Still love my note
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] leppo:
If it was available when I got my Note (end of January), I would have eagerly bought it instead. I think it's a handsome phone, and obviously the specs are awesome.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Goodm7sn:
Intersting article. May be this is the reason it's so ugly.?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CGI_Ram:
The specs are good, but not leaps and bounds. Everyone is in a race for 4 core status. Samsung had to do it too.

I dont like the look either. I thought I might be in the minority.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
Now I hate i**** more and more.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] captainhakan:
yeah the article explains it all about the shape issues.

i think the s3 is definately the best phone avaible in market today but once one gets used to Galaxy Note's size i don't think it would be possible to make him/her settle down for a smaller screen. Eveybody talking about missing wacom digitiser on sg3 but i seen u can actually buy one as an accessory made especially for sg3. I don't know how it's going to perform compared to the one on Notes but hay it's made by Samsung so it should work well imao. The pen is called C Pen Stylus.

Nobody is mentioning about the accessories but i think they made a huge development on accessories for sg3. Most of the accesories of sg3 is missing on our Notes like allshare cast hub, 100W premium audio dock, wireless charging kit, extra batteries(i cannot buy official batteries for Note so yeah this is new). So i think accessories make great value and difference over our Notes.

Despite of i believe sg3 is superior to Note, i would still wait for Note2 for upgrade considering larger screen size (Note 2 might even come in larger sizes to make it differ from sg3) , Note's slim and pure design, integrated spen so i wont have to carry it seperately.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aalupatti:
There are only two thing better in note...

1. Larger screen

2. stylus....

And these are the only things that would prevent me from going to SIII
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mazhongtao:
higher resolution...haha 1280.800 1280.750
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] habylab:
It's genius really! Looks lovely.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] afasseeh:
What about 1.5 or 2Gb of ram, Ram space is more imp than processor regarding speed and multitasking, processor is concerned more with heavy applications, which are not present yet (one that needs a 1.4 quad core). and will not be present soon.

bought note yesterday

i waited for s3 launch and after getting disappointed with its ugly design and same 8mp cam i bought white Note and gotta say its much beautiful than s3

i dont need a quad core processor,

u buy note and everybody looks at ur phone whenever u r out somewhere

and its big screen make watching comedy clips, movies treat to watch

plus gaming so good

they should have modified s2 design and give it a premium look using some metal or glass but gosh they came up with this ugly design....

fail
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] musashiro:
completely agree with this one. recently got my note and the specs of s3 is not so far with our note..:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CGI_Ram:
Samsung brilliantly offers a range of products for everyone's taste;

Galaxy Tab 10 series

Galaxy Tab 7 series

Galaxy Note

Galaxy S series

Galaxy Nexus

Galaxy Rugby

Galaxy W

I mean, if you want it... Samsung has it.

Sure the Galaxy 3 has superior specs in some places. Great! Keep pushing it Samsung.

But; the Note is my form factor. I will stay with it and upgrade to the Note 2 when that time comes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] l0wprofile:
I got my Note in October and still miles away from even considering changing to sgs3, (together with 11 pages of this thread already) says enough about what an epic fail Samsung did with this.

If they only put 2gb ram, imho at least 10% more users would consider getting it.

My thoughts:

Looks: Galaxy Note is better but S3 looks good to me too.

Screen: Note wins easily, bigger is better.

Features: S3 wins.

CPU: S3 easily wins

GPU: S3 easily wins.

The reason I'd still pick Note over S3 is because of CM9 tablet mode, this feature is simply fantastic. Once you get used to the higher dpi, you will not want to go back. For me 5.3" is the perfect size since I have big hands, any less would be a step down. Fortunately dual core Exynos is more than fast enough for anything I throw at it so I don't see myself changing phones until Note with dual core A15 + next gen GPU is introduced.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ManicDVLN:
Better is subjective. Phones aren't in the same category to even compare, on top of it, you probably haven't tried the s3.

Some people don't want a big screen, and some people want a phone with the most battery and least weight.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tado888:
Imho

Both devices are not of the same level

I hate to have to say this but I recon the one x might end up more popular cos it looks better than the s3

---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

The type of person who buys a note is definately NOT the type of person who "kids themselves" beleive me!

The note does and always will stand out from the crowd as a better looking phone.

Thats why we bought it!!!!!!:D

Ok theres another thing i (personal opinion) dont know whats the big fuzz with the one x neither dont know if im hypnotize with my note but managed to play with the one x and my note and didnt find nothing special beside the camara rec and pic taking ability witch is awsome but anything else is meh so im staying with my note god knows until when.

Then there was the sg3 witch from the very begining wasnt even hypt with for me its like a gnexus upgraded and seriusly people what are you going to use the nfc for? (Yeah thats what i thought) beaming its not as impresive we have bluetooth so the beaming is unesesery. So for me the note is the next and only big thing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] D@rekills4:
Note is way better than S3....

Especially in looks.....

S3's external design is the worst of any phone I have seen so far.... -_-

I would buy Nokia 3310 instead (even though it will destroy my house when I drop it.... :P)

What was the need for SGS3 when SGN is so nice?????

I currently use samsung galaxy note and I am happy with it. I personally think that there was no need to introduce a new model when the current model has not been explored or utilised or whatever to its limits. Funny thing is that Samsung is not officially upgrading galaxy note to ICS but found some time to make a new model. I hope Samsung has some explaination on this issue. More over the advertised functions like fast transfer of files, multitasking, voice assistant, which are being used to highlight SGS 3 could be given as upgrade features to SGS2 and SGN. I am sure that these phones can support these new features given their hardware configurations. I don't know, but SGS 3 did not impress me and I shall continue to live with my SGN and not feel down.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lev04:
It didn't turn out as well as samsung had hoped for the s3 from what i've seen in the past few days.I mean the design is quite ugly,a fact that has been underlined by far too many people all over the world by now and only that is enough if we compare it to s2 which was very well welcomed in the design department.

The features that s3 is offering are very little practical and daily usable,so it's more marketing than usability.

I think that samsung won't sell s3 as good as s2 and one particular and,in my opinion,major reason is...the NOTE!Samsung made a device so good(SGN) that it will take something special(like s2 was a year ago) to make it worth our money.I mean,the prices of right now...if we compare the Note with S3...it's not worth it:bigger screen(but stil pretty usable,even with one hand),s-pen, dual core exynos 1.4,same gig of ram, same camera,same MAJOR features...BUT CHEAPER!Oh,and SGN didn't even got the ICS yet,you can imagine it will be better.I run the same benchmarks that the s3 did in some tests and,while there is a diffrenece given by the 4 cores, the note is pretty close.

So,in conclusion, samsung made a device that ,,ate" their own ,,flagship": the s-line won't be the same again because of the S-PEN!

I rest my case!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dajumper:
i hope samsung decided to replace the backcover! of the sgs3
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] diocleziano:
I like SGIII, but it's a "little" GNote without S-Pen. 4.8" is similar to 5.3". They had to think to a smaller device (4.3 or 4.5). A big smartphone isn't for all (like sg2). Change a Note for SG3 isn't good, but sg2--> sg3 is very good for me!

I'd like that the software update in Sg3 will be implemented in ICS for galaxy Note!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aami.aami:
man u r 1000% correct! i was thinking about starting this post but u just did it :) well every thing u said is right but let me tell u something that the lag free camera is not because of the galaxy s3's camera hardware! i can bet my note for the fact that samsung would have used 100% same camera hardware module for S3 as there is in the Galaxy Note! but the lag free camera performance of the camera module is because of the android the OS itself!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] porkenhimer:
The camera app is just different all together. There are several apps you can use in the market to take instant pics with the Note but almost all will tell you that the photos quality will suffer because of faster shutter speed. So I would rather have the Notes slow shutter and have better quality pics than a faster shutter speed with photos of a lesser quality. Here is a vid of The galaxy Note head-to-head with the S3 and if you watch the camera test you will see the Note takes far better pics and the reason is shutter speed 100%.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM4FiKbYo6k&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aami.aami:
u r right about several apps that do have the quicker pic taking abilities at the expense of the quality. but the fact is that what we saw at the unpacked event was just prototype device and not the final version of the S3. as a matter of fact samsung has not changed a bit about the Camera hardware module! they have still gone with the same lens but they have definitely worked on the software module which results in better quality pics and faster shutter rather lag free camera. i just said that the hardware of the camera is same but the software tweaking has been abundantly done which has resulted in quite quick camera interface!

i want the same software tweaking for my Note and want even better performance boost for my Note's Camera! i bet u would also be wishing for that just like me :D
