Here is a nice comparison for you people:

http://www.displaywars.com/5,5-inch-16x9-vs-5,3-inch-16x10
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
If we are going to lose hardware buttons, there's almost no reason why we couldn't have a 5.74" diagonal 16:9 screen.

It's the same LCD width (2.81 inches), and it'd be half an inch taller.

It'd use up the capacitive button area, and you would probably have to slide the samsung logo up a bit. (or hell, move it to the side).

Mmmmmm, 5.74 inches.

i will be getting the new note as soon as it is released just to test it out - i dont use the orignal note much anymore maybe twice a month it is just too small - i prefer my galaxy tab 7.7 as my full time phone, the note 2 is not much bigger then the original but i will buy it anyway just to test it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] deadnc34:
I've sold my note some time ago in anticipation of note 2, so yes I'm thinking of adopting note 2
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kersh:
No, he is not an ignorant but you are and a fool.

Everytime that my note goes below 80mb it is unusable because of speed, ultra hiper mega slow.

I have a lot of apps and services so I only have around 250mb free after boot, a single app like astrid uses 50, another for viber, whatsapp, etc etc. I need to use memory auto killer because if not, I can't ****ing use the device after 10 minutes.

1gb of ram it is a **** on android and a lot of users we need at least 1.5 to use the device without problems.

So please, stfu
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kangal:
I enjoy your cusses as it shows your enthusiasm for this device.

However, you're idea of how RAM works is stemming from what you know from Windows.

Android is much more different. Having more free RAM is not an issue.

I've got about 40 apps, half of which are just games.

I've allocated 100MB free RAM from the System, and it seems to pretty much hold nearly all the apps I've got in use. I don't know what your issues are but let me tell you this, you are either exaggerating or are an isolated case.

I haven't heard this issue from any NOTE owner before.

What setup are you using?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kersh:
oh wow, 40 apps and half of them games. heavy user eh.

try with 420, less than 10 games, more than 30 in system backgrounds, 5 homescreens with widgets, etc.

Well, if you haven't heard of the ram issue is because you haven't read much in note forums, a lot of people we have problems with the low ram available, 250 at the start, and only chrome with 3 tabs uses about 200.

It isn't the setup or the rom, I have tried a lot and I always have the same problems, below 120 the system is slow, below 80 unusable, with a maximum of 300 free in Gingerbread roms and 250 in ICS, this device it's a crap and we need urgently 2gb for heavy users.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
Actually, you misread his post - he was comparing 5.3" 16:9 vs 5.3" 16:10.

Although I'm not sure why those two need to be compared.

In your example, though, with 400 meg free, isn't he only running 400 meg worth of apps + the mandatory 200 meg of system whatever?

So if he had 2 gig, then he should still have 1.4 gig of memory free. My low watermark for memory seems to be around the 100 meg mark. Hell, when I boot up I only have 311 meg available after my desktop/widgets/etc finish loading. Run Puzzle quest 2, and dolphin browser, and my memory free is sitting at 80 meg.

I think his point is, with an extra gig of memory, you can run an extra gig of apps/app data before you drop below some 'death' limit. I haven't personally observed my phone dying when I have less than X amount free. (Although there are a couple of games that I seem to be the only one complaining about choppy background scrolling. Coincidence? Not sure).

By the way, who cares about the iphone? This isn't an iphone thread. Let it go.

Some people like it, some people don't.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kangal:
Sorry, I was just being thorough and addressing everyone concerns.

Especially the ones who had been told some inaccurate informations.

Can I make a conclusion from that (ridiculously large) post?

- Samsung makes products it thinks it can sell fast, with the cheapest parts/specs

- The iPhone and other competitor devices have huge impact on Samsung s thinking process

- An RGB-16:9 screen is an improvement

- The size used up by the On-screen buttons is compensated by a slightly larger panel

- The amount of free RAM doesn't constitute to a quicker device, or even better Multitasking (the bottleneck is in the software implementation)

- Ultimately you are the one who is paying, so you should decide if a NOTE 2 is a worthy upgrade.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aesthetics1210:
+1 to this.

My Note1 has horrible black crush but I stuck with it for my own reasons. Whether the Note2 has RGB or PENTILE won't make much of a difference too me but if it is free from black crush I will be upgrading and selling my Note1 so the upgrade cost will be minimal.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p51d007:
Well, with this stupid patent troll case...the N2 might never come to America. If it does, I'll wait about 2 months for the first batch to be

It seems that "clean up" apart from deleting posts from guys whose first and only "contributions" to the thread have been purely personal attacks posts entailed also deleting my long and thorough reply to you which took me time and effort to type...

It looks like long and thorough posts are not welcome and we feel almost obliged to excuse ourselves for being punctual and just like in today's ADD society all people want here is short and fast clips of info (or, in other most fitting words: shallow and oversimplified).

Well, so be it.

And... sorry.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] msedek:
For me (despite de fact that the info provided by you might be accurate) makes no sense since it does not matter what anyone says here, there's no official word of what N2 will be.. The thread its simple, will you get the new note or not...

I'm getting it day 1 maybe 1 day before(since my provider told me he could) and you know what? If you (or anyone) loves the note will for sure get it sooner or later... The same thing happened with S2 and s3

Same here
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] E90 Commie:
With the rumors of Exynos 4412 instead of 5250 and very similar specs to the original Note in other areas, beside the RAM which is a big improvement, I am planning to stay with my Note rather than getting the N II.

If Samsung decides to put in the next generation Exynos 5250, which will offer double performance compared to the 4412 even in dual core version, I will certainly make the upgrade.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kangal:
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/08/24/samsung-galaxy-note-2-specs-and-jelly-bean-revealed/

According to this, you're out of luck. It translates into:

Samsung Galaxy Note 2

GT-N7100

A new "rectangle" design

Android 4.1.1 (probably with SGS3's TouchWizz and Premium Suite from NOTE/NOTE10.1)

5.5inch 16:9 display

1280 x 720 resolution

Super AMOLED (probably RGB, not PenTile)

(Probably a physical Home, Capacitive Back+Menu keys)

1.4GHz CPU (it might get overclocked to 1.6GHz)

Exynos 4412 (same as SGS3, might have 2GB RAM instead of 1GB, like NOTE10.1)

16GB/32GB NAND

8MP camera (probably same as SGS3's)

3G/LTE variants

(Probably NFC like on SGS3)

Only 3 days to go, August 29 revealing seems necessary after these bad news from the courts.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] regisso66:
I bought my Note 6 months ago, I don't want and don't need to pay for a new one.

The GT7000 is an excellent device with custom rom and kernel ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] oddish2211:
i bought the note in april, and it was really expensive so i bought it with a plan. and the note is still a really fast device so i think i'll wait for the next one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] whatsaqazza:
Just like I did with the Note1 I'll probably wait until the price drops down to about $400-500. That and has a solid CM or AOKP ROM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] carbonassassin:
I will because I'm in a two year contract, I might end up just getting the note 3 next
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kangal:
Count Down - 12 hours to go.

For me personally, I think the phone will be available for retail in 1 month. I'll give Samsung 3 months to fix the hardware problems, push out updates, and the community to make Butter-Smooth custom ROMs.

So yeah, in 21.12.12 I will be buying a NOTE-2, and selling my OG ($400?) a fortnight ahead. Assuming all goes well.

I don't think I will becouse I don't see the need of upgrading to note 2...besides I brought it only 4 months ago...and I am sooooo happy with it...as many said before I love it...no need to change it unless it gets too much outdated which is not...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rraaka:
No

coz re-selling is not one of my fortes

i already have two fully functional android devices ( HTC and Samsung)

im seriously thinking of apple mini ipad - for the screen size/weight /portability and price is going to be very very reasonable

variety is the spice of life

Quick question: What time is the Samsung announcement today in Germany? (German time would be appreciated! hehe)

Thanks!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] FlamingGoat:
If it's just a faster processor and more ram I won't be bothering as my current Note is fast enough for any apps or games I run.

About the only thing that would tempt me is a significant camera upgrade, at least to the level of a Nokia N8 (sensor and flash), and sadly I don't see that happening anytime soon.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] josh64x2:
Definitely going to stay with the current note as I love everything about it (except pentile display but I am used to it now).

Looking forward to the official jelly bean release though with Google Now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Written:
I wish they had stayed away from the design of the s3, not my cup of tea at all..

However, more ram is never a bad thing, or quad.. Then again, bigger screen with lower resolution doesn't smack of display improvement.

I'll be sticking with this oldie for now, I'll wait and see what HTC's rumoured phablet brings to the table

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Warhero141:
I don't see why everyone is making a problem of the slighty lower resolution as the screen has RGB pixel arrangement instead of a pentile RGBG one. It's a display improvement for sure. Besides what did you expect? Full HD RGBG on a 5.5 inch screen which will put a heavy load on the battery as well on the soc?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sanghaviraj:
I will jump on it, 3100mah that's what i was asking for, so now i can play with it all day long without constantly looking at the battery indicator, plus the spec, it's a beast
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] altae:
Like I expected the note 2 isn't worth an upgrade if one already owns a note. At least that's my opinion. There are some nice features of course but in the end there is simply not enough to justify spending another 600 $.

Sent from my Galaxy Note running ICS
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kangal:
Looks like I won't be "upgrading", at least not for anything above $500 and not until 6 months and if there is better development on it.

They shouldn't have used the S3 styling, they should've used the Nexus styling.

They should've had on-screen buttons, a faster GPU, a 1376 x 720 screen with a true RGB screen.

(the note1.5 has a (RG)BB screen. Its a hybrid between regular RGB and regular PenTile)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Well, I like the Note 2, but I'm on contract and not getting an upgrade for awhile.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DarthLuca:
I haven't seen an any app that bottlenecks my Note, so I sticking with mine until Note 3 with Exynos 5 series Cortex A15 and Mali600 comes...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Yucko:
I had the money set aside just in case I got in trouble with the eMMC bug, so I do have the means to buy it but I'm still in doubt whether to go through with buying the Note 2. Quad core + 2GB + notification led is not something I'm willing to pay EUR 600+ for :rolleyes: when my Note 1 works just fine (the Note 1 would be passed along to the Mrs so no chance in selling it and using that money for buying the Note 2)

The fact that the Note 1 will be getting JB (and most of the new software-features of the Note 2) is holding me back even more.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] altae:
My recommendation is to save your money and wait what the future will have to offer. I guess there will be a note 3 2013 and maybe also alternatives from other manufacturers like htc. Most likely those devices will be real upgrades compared to the note.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nztechblog:
looks like you're right! ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] apprentice:
I disagree. I owned a Note, loved it. Bought an S3 as it was a bargain, intending to sell it but ended up selling the Note instead! The S3 is pure perfection except for one thing. The screen isn't big enough. So my dream phone was an S3 with a huge screen. My dream came true. I think the styling is perfect for it, as it's the S3's bigger brother just like the S2 was the Note 1's sibling.

I can't wait to get my hands on the Note 2 just hope I don't have to wait too long.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] brooon:
I second that in every sense, same story over here.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MR.change:
seeing that you own a nexus 7 ,how is it compared to the note? is it worth it? I want to have one shipped from the US but don't know if it's worth the trouble

what's your opinion?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] este548:
After Note 2 released, my Note proved to be my first phone lasting longer then a year or so. There are simply no cons with it at the moment and pros of the Note 2 are trivial, though appealing to some ... Anyway, both are superb phablets of course.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] willstay:
So after reading few previews, and learning screen translates to 92% of the original, I am sticking with my Note 1. 2 GB RAM of Note 2 is appealing though which is needed upgrade that I seem to run low in N1 when I run Tasker with Loquendo TTS.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kumabjorn:
Do you think we will get the same kind of software to the original that comes with Note 2 ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sobelixtus:
No. That wouldn't be good for Note 2 sales. New SW tricks are part of appealing package in Note2. I'm going to stay with Note1 until Samsung starts using better materials than "cheap feeling plastic". I hope Note 3 will be build with better materials.

I like the Note2 specs though... :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] scorpion100:
YES I WILL ... after watching the offical video posted on yout tube am very tempted and it really meet my needs..when i can afford it though :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
Read again, that was a mistake made by Gsmarena which has been changed later on, the Note II actually has 2% bigger and more screen area than the original Note.

I think we will get some of thw software they already released the new sdk version for s pen?? V2.2.. I think developers are now working on it. Besides this is android!! Almost everything is possible with android:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] seraphus:
If the International version or whatever one comes with the Exynos processor works with T-mobile's HSPA+ than that is enough of a reason to upgrade for some people. However, the Note 2 isn't a significant upgrade. I'd probably be sticking with the original Note if I wasn't trying to sell it anyway. Would be nice to get the new tip styli for the original though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] msedek:
Your statements doesn't make sense at all.. How comes getting 2 extra processors clocked at 1.6 ghz(4 total) , 1 extra giga on ram (2gb total) , 700 extra mah battery (3100 mah total), Rgb screen > pentile, thickness.... If that's not significant I don't know what is...

Enviado desde mi GT-P7500 usando Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] seraphus:
It does make sense, and I'm sure many will agree. Sure, the Note 2 is faster but not a significant upgrade. But of course, this is subjective. If you couldn't get anything from selling/trading the original Note would you still buy the Note 2? Many wouldn't, as shown by the poll in this very thread. Sure, the Note 2 is faster (better CPU and more RAM). The larger battery will probably compensate for the extra horsepower it has. The screen is lower res than the original. Since I won't have either, I'd probably pick the Note 2 if I were to get one of the two.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] msedek:
Because you could not sell your note that doesnt mean the note 2 its not a beast... i ve sold mine 4 days ago for 550 usd and even if i couldnt, that wouldnt stop me from getting this new super baby, in fact I still got 1 note left, this one belongs to my wife, who does not care about tech and Just like this one for whatever reason

Tapatalking on my N7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kangal:
The problem is that Android doesn't utilize a Quadcore setup. It not efficient.

In fact, not even Win7 properly utilizes a Quadcore setup. So while you do get more "potential" and perhaps a slightly better performance, it has a bigger footprint on the battery. (I would've preferred the QSD-Dual-S4 built on a 28nm-die, uses significantly less power than Exynos 4412 for same performance).

The extra 700mAh would barely compensate for it.

So you aren't really getting a faster phone or longer battery life, there's so much performance waiting to be squeezed out of the original.

And the extra 2GB RAM is not much of an improvement above the 1GB in the original. Most of it isn't utilized properly by the OS. Jelly Bean is great for launch, but even Jelly Bean has few advantages over 4.0.4 ICS.

The most disappointing thing I guess is that the GPU are the same. Both are 4-core-Mali-400 clocked at 400MHz.

Now I checked the screen, its not RGB. It doesn't share subpixels, so it isn't PenTile either. It's a hybrid, a half-n-half. Where they have the distribution from RGB, and arrangement from PenTile. I explained earlier (maybe it was somewhere else), that you won't get the jagged patterns anymore. However, colour accuracy and blurness are there. All-in-all, the S2's got a better screen but this one is much better than the NOTE/Gnex.

I like the fact they:

-added a Notifications light.

-SDcard is above the battery.

-pulling the S PEN out triggers an App (something I wrote into Samsung about).

-All the new S PEN additions/improvements.

-old Wolfson DAC from SGS (remember Voodoo sound?)

What I don't like is:

-the "pebble" styling (keep it boxy!)

-physical buttons (not S PEN compatible)

-power button on the side, PUT IT ON THE TOP (accidental presses guaranteed!)

-big bezel on the top and bottom parts (minimize these)

-weak loudspeaker

-loudspeaker on the back (put it on the front like the HTC Arrive)

-No kickstand (put one like the HTC HD7)

So what's the catch? The OG NOTE was ahead of its time. This one is somewhat behind the curve. With true RGB-HD screens and Dual-A15's coming in this/next quarter, its a sad prospect. If they fixed the issues I have with it, then it would be justifiable to upgrade. I recommend people to upgrade to N3, or upgrade much later when N2 prices plummet.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] seraphus:
Did I ever say that was the reason the Note 2 isn't a powerful phone? It also doesn't mean the original Note isn't powerful as well. Did you read anything else that I wrote? Kangal pretty much went into detail on some points I was getting at.
