[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sbasil:
At first I was thinking about getting a Nokia Lumia series phone (also mentioned it here earlier, unfortunately) , but forget about it! It's too small and they seem to have some serious (quality?) issues. My bro's 720 died after the battery ran out, he got a new one which also suffered from all sorts of problems (after which he switched to S3 ) and now my gf's Lumia 925 started to act out . There's just no going back from a 5"+ device once you've gotten yourself used to one, especially when the device is as carefree as Samsung has been. So, Note 2 or 3 it shall be for me. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eybee1970:
yeahhh...join me on Note 3 :cowboy:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] API182:
For me It'll be the next Nexus phone (After the Nexus 5) so Nexus 6 I guess... I think my Note will see me through till then..?

I don't care for the Pen side of things anymore, I just haven't used it as much as I thought I would and could easily do without it...

I'm finding myself a bit more focused on having the latest Android features these days and with the manufacturers (especially Samsung, HTC and Sony) dragging there heels big time on updating their devices, the only way to go for me is a Nexus...

Just my input there anyway...

Cheers!

Adam.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sbasil:
I might and probably will, but it'll still be another LONG 6 months or so before my contract on N7000 ends. :D Not necessarily a bad thing, since they might shave off another 100 euros from its price until that time...or not.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] psbarry:
Me too am looking at a nexus device in the future. Samsung has lost the vision of the very reason why people are running away from apple phones. They can continue but they will eventually face the fate of apple on this way. Craziness is about doing the same thing and always expecting a different result.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mingonn:
Pretty much decided I'm going with the Ascend Mate until we get a Nexus with a 5.5 + inch screen. Use to think my Dell Streak was big lol.Samsung have lost the plot with region locks. gimmicky bloat wear and poor update frequency.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sbasil:
Samsung might have lost their touch a bit, but devs here at the XDA who push these devices further and further are pretty awesome. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] odys.wise:
Nexus 5 or next generation of Nexus)

I'm very keen on the Acer Liquid S2, quite tempted despite the company problems.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] G4liant:
I'm going for a Note 4, the next highend Oppo or Sony device. But every phone without microSD is a no go for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Pritt0:
Next Oppo, I think

Again Note but I don't know which number yet :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Criticalstriker:
Since I moved to Belarus (Its too damn cold here) I have to take my gloves off to use my phone, and as the screen is very big, I have to use my 2 hands. Therefore I'll go for SG3 or SG4 Mini. But you guys might suggest me otherwise. I just need something no "wide" as note.

As a person who transformated from ios to android, samsung looks the best for me because (Dont start fight over me) I hate, despise those "soft button" logic of android. Thats why Sg3 or Sg4.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] follwersion:
Note3 definetly.

But as long as there are no such as genius Roms as for my N7000 - ill stay!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mingonn:
Got a ascend mate to replace my Note but it's not all roses. GPS sucks and camera is faster but not as good. Screen is great though, size is fine but best of all is the battery life! Bye bye Sammy bloat wear and no region lock stress!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
Can't say i regret buying the Ultra now :p (Hint: GPE)

I'm trying to recruit people here, and so should you :laugh:

I tried recruiting sometime earlier in the Asylum thread, didn't get a single one :'(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Shingle:
I got the Acer Liquid S2 in the end, but keeping the note also, can't let her go!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nigi73:
Since OmniRom will be harder to recruit ppl.

My note has a new life now.

Just wish I did not played with my mate's htc One. It was so fast and responsive.

Jumped ship to a nexus 5! thought id never get over the screen size but it took 10 mins, seriously great phone! The note was good, ill miss it but, not much with a nexus 5 in my hand. talk about fast!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Meteore:
After the Note I wanted nexus 5 but take too long maybe too impatient lol I took the 3 Note (not disappointed at all).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anthon:
I was willing to keep my Note 1 until it died but I couldn't refuse a great deal for the Note 3 so I took it

The phone is great but I'm kind of missing my Note 1 and the knox thing is a s**t
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Equitesl888:
I am attracted to iphone 5s but still i coudnt ressist note3 as i will miss all the custom configuration that i loved with android. So i think maybe i'll stick with sammy for another 2 years
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Aphex13:
I've got a Sony Xperia Z Ultra on the way. The Note was my second Samsung phone, and I figured it was time to try something else. It's been fun.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pocepoke:
mybe note2 but i still love my note1

cos still have good speed
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] holy.toms:

Maybe Note3, but my first Note still works fine :laugh:

iphone6 maybe,if it's 5"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dsmas:
Hi friends. How about Intex Octa Core 6".

Your opinions solicited.

I know these are 2nd grade phones compared to Sony, Htc, Samsung, Lg, Nokia etc.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lazerda:
maybe you should tell why you won't to go there. 2300mAh small battery I would say, rest is kind of hard to tell.

one thing I'm pretty sure about is the missing community compared to the note1. why are we still here talking? great community providing roms that make the phone still a good one after all this time.

my next phone will be defenetly one that makes sure that there will be a big community behind it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NoteboyTech:
Guys suggest me a phone,

my requirements!

- smooth UI(transitions)

- App eco system good

- Should be 5 inches cause m tired of Note!

- Powerful!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AA1973:
Nexus4? Nexus 5?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
Never heard of it before. It's also not present here at XDA, so there's also no dev support. It might function OK as a smartphone, but you'll meet a wall when you want to root it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lazerda:
Glaxy Tab 8,4" Pro

Glaxy Tab 8,4" Pro with phonefunktion will be my next. Size doesn't mater because I already carry may Note in my bag and phone calls are only made via headset.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] layt:
I thinkig on Nexus 5 32G LTE... Cheap and Powerfull. My friend owns it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mingonn:
Don't get the Ascend Mate if you need a GPS, it's terrible! I'm dependent out maps so it's back on eBay with the HAM.

Been on the Mate for a month now, better screen than my mates Note 2, just as fast, amazing battery life.

Camera it very average, worse than the Note 1. As much as I hate TouchWiz and Samsung's poor update record they do make great hardware. Galaxy Mega next I think

SGN 3! :cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kurpen:
Definitely another phone from Galaxy Note series. I'd love it to be Galaxy Note III, but depends on available funds ;(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] alom5:
With all this bs of not being able to downgrade software and region lock bootloader lock... Sammy can go fouk themselves.... Note 3 till September when my contracts up... And no more Samsung phone for me
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] A-mak:
I cant decide and am awaiting the next lot of flagship phones.

Tegra 6 (or whatever that new sick nvidia gpu is)

Usb 3 (replaced this dodgy notes usb2 two many times)

MicroSD slot

Are my requirements. More ram the better aswell.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] petethediver:
Note 4 if it has wireless charging.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nolteks:
I like to NOTE 3
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] manigma:
I am using Note from about 2 years. Still happy with it. But will buy something in summer this year. I always buy a previous generation phone as it has best value for money.

My choices so far:

1. Nexus 7 2013 32GB - Snapdragon 600 Krait 400 1.5 Ghz Adreno 320, 2GB

[HTC One Max has Snapdragon 600 Krait 400 1.7 Ghz Adreno 320, 2GB] ==== almost same as Nexus 7 but very pricey!!!

2. Xperia Z Ultra has Snapdragon 800 Krait 400 2.2 Ghz Adreno 330, 2GB] ADRENO 330 IS DOUBLE FAST THAN 320

3. Samsung Tab Pro 8.4 same as Z Ultra but 2.3 Ghz

4. Note 3 same as Z Ultra but 2.3 Ghz and 3GB RAM

Z Ultra price is going pretty down now. It has Adreno 330 GPU. So my buy would be either Nexus 7 2013 or Z Ultra. Best value for money so far.

I will swap my Note with my wife's HD7 if I buy a Tab, as they don't allow calls. ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sbasil:
Sold my N7000 and replaced it with Nokia's Lumia 2520 (what, it's not a phone? so?! :p). Haven't had any regrets so far ( got my 2520 yesterday). :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Leechoonhwee:
How do you do that? Bluetooth all the way?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sbasil:
Nah, I have S3 as a phone and 2520 is for tablet fun. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nigi73:
Two devices are too much for me. I need all in one. My son has a Nexus 7 2014 and It's ok, but to big to drag it around in the pocket. For all in one 6 inch with no bezel is max IMO. It has to have huge battery SD card slot or lots of memory and top specs now or max one year ago. Good development support and no restricted bs like current cr@psungs.

With a current state of development on note I will wait until my note will break probably. LOL!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
Your pride and joy is a time traveler? ;)

You are talking LG G2 Pro.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Johev:
I like your analysis. Besides Nexus 7 2013, which I can't imagine using as a phone and the lack of the micro sd card all your other options look like something I would consider.

However I am very pleased with the kind of development and support that our original N7000 has been getting from this super community. I have moved to SlimBean and I am waiting to see how the SlimKat turns out. After some stable releases I will try it out, and then decide what to do.

One thing I would suggest to people that are considering keeping their N7000s is to buy a new battery. You would not imagine the difference it makes and its just one more thing that iUsers can't do :) (at least not easily).

PS: Just one more thing, it is incredible that for 3 years now I can't find a suitable competition to the Galaxy Note line. It's not just the size, and apparently other companies are not getting it. The increased functionalities of the S Pen are very useful if you are using your Note in meetings. I hate taking minutes but Note makes it more bearable. I tried to use my finger, but after 1h of taking notes with it (I use it with Swype), it would start getting very uncomfortable. For me Xperia Z Ultra is a big screen phone, with very nice specs, but Note 3 is in a different league :).

I was expecting HTC, LG, SONY and even ASUS to make something as close to a Note line in order for us, customers to actually have a choice. ASUS tried something, but failed miserably :).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nigi73:
He he of course I mean 2013.

Thank you :)

Lg pro2 looks like the toy to get when prices will fall somehow in future. Hope my note will survive this long.

Having 64gb card I am very negative to paying £100 more for 32 then 16 - most manufacturers follow this scam nowadays.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] manigma:
True, N7000 is one of the greatest smart phones. Having great battery life with SlimBean 4.3. :good: I bought a new battery 6 months ago as the old one died.

Although, there are several ROMs available for N7000, Samsung's stock JB 4.1.2 was the best. On SlimBean, high quality HD videos do not play smoothly. On stock JB, the same videos played perfectly. Many games (like Dungeon Hunter 4 and Dark Knight Rises) are not playable at all on SlimBean (crash on start). Those games worked fine on Stock JB (just bit laggy).

Whichever phone/tab I buy next, I will not have a custom rom installed on it. Not unless it stops receiving official stock updates. ;)

PS: I use Write (stylus labs) for taking notes. Works great (just like S-Note app) after few tweaks with paper size, color and pen thickness. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.styluslabs.write
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Johev:
[MENTION=4327767]maig[/MENTION]ma, that is exactly how I approach the my phones. I have used the Sweet ROM for about 2 years before I gave SlimBean 4.3.1 a try.I have also flashed this phone sooner than normal, due to the kernel bug which could have damaged my phone if I would do a factory reset (used a safe kernel).

I am not a TW hater, however after having issues with the size of the app partition, and after N7000 received the official note that the 4.1.2 would be the last update, I gave SB 4.3.1 a try and so far I am very pleased with it. Not perfect at all, I can see some frame drops in some games, however as I don't play that much (unless you consider my flappy bird frustration serious gaming :)).

I am however very interested in trying the SlimKat as soon as some stable versions are out, and I hope that those issues would be solved by then.

If nothing works, I have just found out in a different thread that it is now possible to repartition your storage with a custom pit file in order to increase it, so who knows maybe I'll be back to the Sweet ROM after all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AA1973:
I will sell my OG Note for the ridiculous price of 1000€. Not negotiable. No $...

It survived some brickbug desaster, was flashed daily - even intraday, so it definitely is in good shape! Furthermore it comes with KitKat and FlappyBirds pre-installed.

/J.K.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] XxPixX:
I am going to buy the next nexus phone as soon as it comes out.

Oh, and if you guys want a laugh then I present to you my current phone (waiting for the USB replacement):

It has a battery life of a week with heavy usage, it boots up in 5 seconds and I can customize it more than my Note because I can change the homescreen text colour AND change the theme without "root"! :)

Bought used Xperia Z Ultra for $400 :D

Z Ultra is a great phablet.. its good for eyes too as it has low brightness levels than Note. Videos look great but pictures look dull. Missing N7000 screen quality but the power of Ultra is awesome. Same as Note 3 "Xperia Z Ultra has Snapdragon 800 Krait 400 2.2 Ghz Adreno 330"

Loving Asphalt 8 at full quality on Z Ultra!! :good: :good: :good:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sbasil:
Maybe I should just shut up already, but no one should be that lucky... :p If I had to choose from all of the current phones, I would probably go with Nokia's 1520...Checked it out at a store and it was love at first sight, just like it was when I got my N7000. I'm sure that there are more apps for Android phones, probably (most likely) even better ones and I do like Note 2&3 both very much, but I want to experience something new. I'm too used to Android... it just got utterly boring at some point. :) Or maybe it's just that the spring came early this year and I went kookoo. :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] alex22808:
I'm due for an upgrade now, and cant afford a note 3, so i will probably end up with a note 2.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sbasil:
It'll be a worthy upgrade too. More speed, more everything. If you liked your Note, I'm sure you won't hate the speedier newer version of it either. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] manigma:
I used N7000 for over two years. Now I own Sony Xperia Z Ultra. Been using it for 4 days now. Boy I am so glad I bought this device. :laugh:

Its not too big and fits easily in my jeans pocket. And what an experience. Snapdragon 800 with Adreno 330 blows away everything. FpSe, PSP, N64 emulation, Dungeon Hunter 4, Asphalt 8... just wow!! :good::good::good:

The colors are not as good as super amoled screens of Samsung. But Xperia Z Ultra has same power as Note 3 and about $160 cheaper!!

I advise all N7000 users to skip buying a Note 2 and get Z Ultra or Note 3 only. It will be a good investment for atleast 2 more years with its power.

See these benchmarks:

Look at Note II with meager 17 points :p (N7000 would have achieved 7 points I guess)

Source: http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z_ultra-review-975p5.php

Benchmarks including Note III and Z Ultra: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_3-review-996p6.php

Z Ultra and Note III are really powerful phones.

Z Ultra best value for money at the moment.

:cowboy:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 88X88:
Well its been wonderful couple of years. But Im about to buy another phone when they release sony Z2.

Its almost the same size, with the best hardware there is in a phone right now, besides, its beautiful and the IP58 thing is a wellcome addition.

I considered note3, but Im somewhat tired of samsung a little, and wanted somthing new. And being waterproof, and a new look and feel is better for me. Z ultra is too big for me, and I dont like the viewing angels and I heard the battery is a disaster. LG G2 and Gpro2 were good, but I thing Z2 is better in every aspect. Galaxy S5 was a huge disappointment for me, it was ugly, and though I think 2 gigabyte of ram is enough, I dont think its as futureproof as 3 gigs of ram. I liked Lumia 1520 too, but I dont like windows UI and I hate the fact that I cant do what I want with the phone how I like.( like flashing diffrent roms, diffrent feels and looks, etc)

So Im gonna buy a XperiaZ2, unless htc makes a beast of a phone and the name "All new One" turn out to be a code name.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] manigma:
Z Ultra has great battery life. I was also doubtful but it amazes me how this big phone lasts much longer than my old Note. The size is not too big. If you have been using Note for a few years, Z ultra would feel much better in the hands. I love its display size (good for weak eyes), now I feel the same way I felt two years ago when I went from my 4.3" HD7 to 5.3" Note. Note looks like a small phone old tech compared to 6.4" ZU. :p

Sony's display is not as colorful as Samsung's superamoled but its good for eyes and causes less strain. I can play on my ZU almost twice longer than Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wrsg:
I find the exact opposite. S/AMOLED is far easier to look at for longer periods.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jsdroid:
Agree. And I think cannot replace S Amoled with any display, I love colors (especially the black one).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TheosGifted:
I will probably end up with next middle/top class phablet. I used to read a lot with aldiko aplication, N7000 has widest screen in his category (even wider than note III). I will say, that I'll stay with samsung tier - choosing note 3. The rooting is easier than on sony (as I have heard - or am I wrong? :) )

---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

I made the benchmark. I don't know if you can compare to this table (since this is from version 2.5 and I made bench with version 3). But anyway, maybe somebody would find it interesting. My rooted (cm-11-20140415-NIGHTLY-n7000) note scored only 234 pints (4.2fps).

For comparison (in apk compare): Sony Xperia Z ultra scored 1795 points!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] naytheet:
Waiting for more info on the OnePlus One. Might consider jumping to the Sony Xperia Z2 if it wasn't so monstrously big. I mean, I like big phones (Note-sized), but the Z2 is a bit of a stretch even for me.
