Turns out I was wrong... while I wait to sell the Note, my next phone is in fact an iPhone 1 2G... apple said less than 1% of the million odd they sold are still in use and no wonder, can't upgrade past iOS 3.3 so apps are hard to come by!

Ideally the replacement will be the Asus Padfone, or the Galaxy Victory and a Nexus 10.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] younus1932:
guess i will stick to not1 unless there is some real changes in note 3 as compared to note 2 .. and ofcourse the price as well :P

You have a point, but with a triluminos screen the will be more than enough light to use it as a torch. Far more than an amoled.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Moandal:
When you say the triluminos display will be far brighter than an AMOLED, are you speaking with the same technical authority as you were when you stated the ZU would have an LED flash? The Triluminos technology increases the colour gamut, it does not increase brightness. Plus however bright it is, it won't be anything like as bright as an LED flash, and so will still be far less useful as a torch. I don't want my next phone to be missing useful features that I use regularly on my 2011 model Galaxy Note.

For the facts about Triluminos and how it's got nothing to do with brightness, see here: http://www.androidauthority.com/xperia-z-ultra-triluminos-x-reality-234908/

Google Play edition GS4 has been ordered and will be delivered tomorrow. Once it's been set up, the Note goes up for sale. I've really enjoyed the Note, it's been a great phone for the most part. I'm a little disappointed in the phone's performance post-JB update. We'll see how much better the GS4 performs with "stock" Android.

Been using Note for about 1.3 years now. Will probably be getting a S4 by this week. Note was amazing, but I think S4 will be better. To be frank, Note did give me problems a couple of times to be operated with one hand.

Ive read several reports now indicating the production model z ultra WILL have led flash. If so, that makes it a lot more compelling.

So the 6.1 Inch Huawei Ascend Mate has just launched in the UK and is available on Vodafone Pay As You Go for as little as £300 (http://www.androidcentral.com/huawei-ascend-mate-launches-vodafone-uk-exclusive)... WHich is not a bad price for those specs!

Are any of you guys gonna bite??? Or you gonna wait to see what HTC, Sony, and Samsung have to offer in September?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
That is a very good deal, but I'd consider anything under 1080p screen to be midrange and therefor no go. Still impressive package that one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] toucheroar:
Asus Fonepad Note FHD 6 looks quite attractive. 6 inch screen, 1080p, wacom stylus... it's just the price I'm waiting for... anything under £300 and I'm sold. I considered the original Fonepad but had been waiting for root; now it's here I feel the device isn't quite what I'd like spec wise.

Huawei Ascend Mate looks good but has a poor camera apparently. Having said that I rarely use the camera! I need to see one in the flesh. Now that vodaphone are selling them I might have a play with one.

Have considered the Galaxy Mega 6.3 but it's really not massively different from my original note (neither is the note 2, which is why I've never bothered to upgrade so far).

Note 3 looks like the one to watch. 1080p screen and next gen octa core processor. Only problem is going to be the price! Is it worth double what the Fonepad Note FHD 6 and Ascend Mate cost? Probably not to me! Ahh well... I may well just keep the N7000 for another year :\

I am holding out for note 3 or the devs favourite :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mikkelrev69:
I'll wait for Note3 for sure. In May, I bought a HTC1 over the net, but when I got it I was a little disapointed over the screen size couse I'm used to my N7000 and i returned it. I love the HTC's design and maybe I will look into the MAX version and hopes it will have sd card slot. Otherwise Note 3 for sure. The Note1's bottleneck is the RAM and now the N3 will have 3G of it. It will be a killer. Wish it would have metal body thoug..

Definetly my next device is galaxy note III

Because the best technical features meets with premium software support.

I bought Htc One. I will never buy another Samsung. I currently have Note as My second phone. I sold gs3. Bought and sold gs4 for One.

Its incredibile how smooth it is. I consider it the iPhone of android phones. It does not have a single little lag.

However i use note in "bed-times" like now with cm 10.1. I almost happy.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anzhar:
whatever is out in 2016, that has similar screen and huge battery life

at the moment happy with gt-n7000 for all my needs, i don't need quad core multiple gb ram to stream live sports and browse Web and make calls or send text and emails

i heard the micro USB wears out so i bought 2 official Samsung external battery chargers

and although I'm still on the stock battery from day one which i get minimum 4 hours screen time from still, i hear it goes bad after 18 months so i bought 2 official Samsung batteries aswell, all sold by Amazon directly cost me about £45 shipped, third party Sellers are like 50% cheaper, but i only trust Amazon not to sell fakes
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] simonthebald:
N7000 is my fist Samsung device and most likely should be my last.

Low hardware quality (micro USB port problem), screen problem, awful customer service, and so on.

Waiting to see how's the comments for the x-phone. Extra large display ia not my first priority.

How do you compare htc1 to gs4?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] darkden:
My next device will be Note III
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Moandal:
Well let's see...

The HTC one has a smaller screen, a smaller battery, a slower CPU, but it's bigger and heavier than the GS4. And it has no micro SD card and a non-removable battery.

Easy choice in my book.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shure2:
If the note 3 is snapdragon 800, removable battery, smaller than 5.7, full HD, has battery life that is better than the s4, comes in a GE for fast stock updates then I'm sold.

I don't think it's too much to ask for :rolleyes:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Moandal:
Is anything I said untrue? No. Meanwhile the statement "Every other manufacturer makes crap, only Samsung are completely perfect..." is *your* statement, not mine, and a pretty stupid one.

Samsung's main failing is thinking that having a micro SD card slot means they can get away with having a pathetic amount of internal storage on the phone, while not providing any way of storing apps on the SD card. Their tablets are also pretty mediocre. I've got a Sony Tablet Z - that's a beautiful piece of kit and better than anything Samsung have on the market at the moment.

I like to have NOTE III or S4, but I prefer to have Note III with its wonderful pen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Reynaldinho111:
As much as i didnt want to buy another samsung phone, I just picked up myself an at&t gs4 after my notes screen shattered for the second time and I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised. Touchwizz isn't half as bad as it used to be and actually has some pretty cool features. The raw power of this device is ridiculous and with AOKP I'm getting insane battery life even while overclocked.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
Mate, glad you're liking the new phone... Will be a shame to lose you to the s range...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
It's settled. I'm getting the Ultra, and a second smaller device for when I'm out partying and doing other hazardous activities. I've kept an eye on the One Max, but it looks like it's going to be a little too bulky for its size, while the Ultra is at least incredible thin, so that's at least one positive thing about its size. Also waterproof, Snapdragon 800, Adreno 330, regular pencil/pen input etc.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
I'll be joining you. Sony are doing good things atm.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LxMxFxD:
Are you guys really going to spend $1000 usd on the ultra? For a phone? Or will you wait for a price drop?

I am interested in the z ultra myself, but not at that price....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
Normal price for a top end phone, note 1 was about the same as was iPhone 3g as was HTC universal for that matter.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
Yup. I have a "disease" (which a lot of people here have) that makes me buy expensive phones, so yes; i'm getting the Ultra the second it hits the stores. I did the same with the Note, and that wasn't cheap either. I got it for €1000 on launch day.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] drewcifer63:
I was seriously thinking of moving away from Samsung and I may still.. Since I rooted my n7000 I'm pretty happy with my device. If the new note 3 is as smooth as this one I'll stick with Samsung.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LxMxFxD:
Thanks for the replies about the ultra and pricing! Stateside people prefer spending big money on two year contracts that include a phone for only $200 to $300 up front. When i got my n7000 in june '12 i only paid $450usd for it (new in box). I thought that was a ton but it broke the cycle of signing contracts for me (my monthly bill for unlimited is $29).

Point is, im willing to pay a lot more for a phone up front now, but $1000+ is just too much. Imho if th zultra were priced at $500 it would be phone of the year. Sadly, it wont be.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Moandal:
Why would you buy the Ultra before the Note 3 is announced in less than 4 weeks? Unless being waterproof is a big deal for you?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
The ultra isn't released in Europe yet. It's not out until September 6th.

I don't want a Note 3. I don't like Samsung anymore, so I'm moving on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nthknd:
I saw a few on eBay for 670 and up. Not sure what's the deal with it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zamboney:
Yeah, I'm tired of Samsung and lousy dev support. Happy to switch to the ZU camp as soon as lte hits Europe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
Ditto, not a fan of samsung support or build quality, time for a change and the ZU is truly beautiful build quality, as well as specs.

I also like the look of the accessories.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dante-fu:
Xperia Z is having a lot of problems due to the "premium" glass front and back. It's sides are getting unglued, glass is easily shattered.

Samsung plastic build does not suffer as much and it's parts are easily replaced.

You better get some extra insurance if you are going for Xperia.

Many are mistaking premium feel for build quality.

Edit: Sources added. It's quite obvious when you visit the Xperia Z section.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
Never heard of that one before, and please back this up with sources. I don't care though. Time to leave Samsung.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LxMxFxD:
Good info. Ive never even dropped a cell phone, let alone shattered something. But a 6.44" screen? Might be pretty hard to hold in hand.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ad_slev:
Waiting to see what, if any tweaks do arrive on the note 3...

But I am kind of liking the moto x for the "Google" effect I suppose....

Made by Google yea.... Inside to outside :thumbup:

But I don't want to get too ahead of myself by assuming that's gonna be the one to look out for...

I mean after the moto x... What quality would follow in the series...

:cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zas311:
I also once considered to get a ZU, but two things bothered me: no flash and no exchangeble battery. You all know the battery holds power less and less as you use. About a year later, it will only holds about 50 percents of the original 3000 mah. So, if you want to replace the builtin battery, you have to send it to a service center.

I decided to have Note 3 on the day it hits the store.

Sent from my GT-N7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Leechoonhwee:
I'll probably get the ZU once the LTE is out. Was considering the One Max but not sure when it's gonna be released so will get whichever one that released the LTE version first. I can't go back to sub 6 incher so Note III is out for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mimmolm:
If there are big news i will choose Note3 :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
you said exactly the same thing i was thinking :D :o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LxMxFxD:
So the non lte version of the xperia z ultra (c6802) is $665usd on amazon. Pretty good deal and far cheaper than expected.

Watched the android authority review - mixed thoughts on it. Non stereo speaker, no camera flash and the sheer size...

Will now wait for note 3 anouncement on sept 4. Meanwhile maybe lte version of xperia will be released.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zamboney:
Stop spreading irrelevant FUD. the z ultra doesn't have those issues. They apply to the xperia Z, an older model. Anyway the build quality far outshines Samsung and their budget plastic.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] _terror_:
picking up an Blackberry Q10 on monday. And when I do, I will throw my Note so damn hard to the floor. The phone has NOT been my friend recently. Time to move on :)

This is you on Tuesday
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] feartheanonymity:
Im undecided on my next phone, So I am hoping you guys can help me out a little.

Last week I dropped it and smashed the outer glass, Instead of replacing the whole screen I just replaced the glass, It worked to some degree but I am not happy with it, The screen has pink tints and the back button is broken.

I was thinking about just replacing the whole screen unit, But the cost of this fitted professionally is more than the phone is worth.

I really love my Note and would like to keep it instead of upgrading (at least until a few months after the Note 3 is released)

So, Can you guys offer me some alternatives ? I really dont think I could downgrade in screen size, And I definitely cannot ditch Android!

So what phones are on par with the Note 1 ? Same price range (used) same screen size (or thereabouts) and similar specs (JB / Dual Core ect)

I feel like if im getting rid of my phone, Its a bit weird to replace it with the same phone lol.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
How does your budget look like? How high are you willing to go?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] feartheanonymity:
Not too high to be honest, Hopefully whatever I can get for my Note plus £50-£100 max.

Not sure what my Note is worth in its current condition.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LxMxFxD:
You wont find anything.

Best bet is to wait it out and upgrade when note 3 or whatever new phone you want.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] feartheanonymity:
Ok, Lets ditch that idea then lol.

Say I wasnt interested in any resemblance to the Note, What else would be a viable option?

Ive got my eye on the Motorola RAZR i and the HTC One, Both look nice and I reckon are within my Budget (used of course)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
Don't you even think about the RAZRi. HTC One is a good phone, so if you HAVE to get a new phone right now, get the One. When is your contract up?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] feartheanonymity:
Is it bad ? I havent looked into it to be honest, Just saw a glimpse and it looked smart.

My contract is up in October, but is eligible for renewal at the end of this month.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
Haha, it looked smart? :p I won't say it's BAD, but the One is better.

Here are some specs (specs aren't everything, but it's a mistake to get the RAZR):

RAZRi:

- Display: 4.3" 540 x 960 pixels (256 ppi)

- Battery: 2000 mAh

- CPU: Intel Atom Z2460

- GPU: PowerVR SGX540 @ 400 MHz

- Memory: 1024 MB RAM / 8192 MB ROM

HTC One:

- Display: 4.7" 1080 x 1920 pixels (468 ppi)

- Battery: 2300 mAh

- CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 APQ8064T

- GPU: Quad core, 1700 MHz, Krait 300

- Memory: 2048 MB RAM / 32 GB ROM

The One crushes the RAZR, but if you're a stubborn little fella, then go to YouTube and check out reviews :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] feartheanonymity:
Well that has totally influenced my decision haha. I suppose I better get bidding on one then.

I used to own the One S before the Note. It was amazing but was terrible with the Vodafone network. However when the contract ends ill be switching to PAYG with another provider until the release of the Note 3. So hopefully I shouldn't run into any problems.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sbasil:
This is easy for me: Nokia Lumia 925. [now I feel like I brought myself before an execution squad] :laugh:

+ it's pretty "cheap" here in Finland (~ 400e), but doesn't look and feel like a cheap phone -->

+ looks & feels nice (my gf already has one, she replaced her S3 with 925)

+ nice and bright display (I can live without FullHD res :p )

+ UI is really fast and fluid (it doesn't need an-8-core-beast to run the OS (of which only 4 are in use anyways)...it r-e-a-l-l-y doesn't..applications run and open fast)

+ camera is really good and the camera app is great after the last update (to be honest, the phone came with it so I can't tell what it was b4)

+ good navigation & other Nokia apps

+ office apps

+ ...

- it's not Android which I've gotten so used to

- doesn't have that many apps (but pretty much has everything that I need)

- probably not the best gaming device available due to weaker hw (I don't play games, so it doesn't affect me)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
Perkele! You're a Finn, so you have a legit excuse :p The 925 seems like an OK phone. It's not my style at all, but that's just me and not you, so good luck on your WP adventures. You'll be fine as long as you don't need any official apps :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LxMxFxD:
Lol. I know, its sad. Wp has all the earmarks of a superior os but sadly is unviable due to development restraints.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sbasil:
Oh hush! :laugh: Those apps will come....eventually...You just gotta have some faith :victory: And we're not worshipping Nokia here in Finland, Samsung still is the most popular phone...for now...Perkele! :P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] atlancd:
I will wait the release of the Note 3 to decide what to get next.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
oppo find 7 if its cheap, rumoured 4000 battery nice

Note 3 if devs move onto it, or if it has new flexible screen technology, unfoldable to a3, wearable around wrist with washable band/recharching via bodyheat and light. Upgradable via component snap-on.

Dunno, havent made mind up

need cash lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
Take the S4 and make it bigger, or take the Mega and make it smaller. That's the Note 3. Don't expect anything new. Will it have a lot of dev support? Of course, but that doesn't make it an exciting device. Sure, we haven't even seen it yet, but trust me, all we're getting is a bigger/smaller version of something that already exists.

Other upcoming phablets:

- HTC One Max (T6) (soon to be released)

- Sony "Honami" (soon to be released)

- Sony Xperia Z Ultra (soon to be released in the west)

- LG G2
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LxMxFxD:
A bigger s4 with a stylus is fine with me. Maybe with snapdragon 800 however. Advantages of this over our current gt-n7000:

Cpu approx 400% faster

Gpu approx 1600% faster

Screen larger by at least 0.4 inches

Better screen with no black clipping

1080p resolution vs 800p

Newer version of android os

Native multitasking

At least 600 mah battery increase with at least 30% increased battery life

Possibly wifi ac

LTE available vs only 3g

I could go on....

The note 2 was not a viable upgrade. Note 3 definitely will be even if its "merely a larger s4". The only downside is 16x9 instead of my beloved 16x10.

Im open to sony and htc personally too, but note 3 will be the device to beat.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] darthmaul40:
Well said !!

LxMxFxD,

What you have expressed so well in your post echos my thinking even with the current rumored specs I would be happy to move from my NOTE to the NOTE III. I certainly did not feel that with the NOTE II, as, in my opinion it was not a big enough jump from my NOTE I. It seems that the time for phablets has finally come and I am keen to see some of the other offers that should be in by year-end.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hbksabhi:
the main problem with phablets

im a owner of note 1 and have to despite all the uses of the big screen it has poor battery .

i know note 2 had much better battery and note 3 will be super awesome but my problem is that these big batteries take very long to charge compared to iphone like smaller battery which charges in 1.5-2 hours ... im a lazy bird and only charge my phone while getting ready before leaving home .
