[Galaxy Note II General] taran181:
I asked on sammobile they said its dimensions wouldn't be larger then mega 5.8... so i think i gonna buy note 3.. ..
[Galaxy Note II General] FarReach:
Seems kinda bulky but intriguing in the same way... I didn't think would hold out long enough to wait for the 3 and just buy a 2 but now I'm definitely thinking otherwise.

Patience is a virtue I guess. We'll see how much of it I have when the official release date drops.

The general section of this forum is full of threads of people talking about newer phones than our note 2, why is everyone so desperated to buy another phone? The note 2 is perfect and still very powerful, come on, you don't need another gb of ram, stop the crazyness
[Galaxy Note II General] Burginthorn:
^^very true, you don't necessarily need another gb of ram, but I also think people rate one's financial status by the gear they use. I'm not saying that's 100% true, but I think people perceive this to be so about themselves. Kind of like if I use an outdated phone, people might get the impression I'm to poor to afford the latest ...(name product here) thus they get themselves into some sort of god awful contract with a telco because buying their gear outright would be near impossible in many cases. Affordable gear for the masses at doable payment increments means if you DON'T get that phone with the extra gb of ram ...something must be seriously wrong with you ...

It's probably worth remembering that Sammobile makes lots of ad revenue by throwing out rumor after rumor and hope that one in ten rumors become true.

But for the other NINE rumors a few thousand people hit the link helping them generate revenue from the page loaded with ads. Why, one might suspect that some posters that often link to Sammobile rumors might even work for Sammobile because their jobs depend on ad revenue.
[Galaxy Note II General] sohebq:
Agree with thatz every new rumour of their site is just crap. They bring a new article of rumour with just one new line and rest of article is old. They repeat features, release date is every rumour article.

What I really hate is when they say OUR TRUSTED INSIDER has confirmed this is that, all lies. They said aboyt green lcd on s4, but it didnt turnout to be true.
[Galaxy Note II General] jetbruceli:
Everybody knows that all major companies have about 10 designs waiting for them before they reveal something. Even right before a show they may have like 3 left to decide. Samsung will show us what they want when they want. All the rumors are doing is giving Samsung a chance to see what people are interested more in.
[Galaxy Note II General] Sideness:
I don't think so. The phone is studied in order to dodge any risk of over heating or stuff like that. When a design is good, they keep it.

[Galaxy Note II General] Alexei Volkoff:
These daily rumours about the Note 3 are becoming ridiculous. If you take a moment to read them carefully, you'll see they add nothing to what has already been said a month ago. No info, just a different combination of the same stale, dubious info.

Sites take advantage of this time of year, when lots of new phones are about to be released in September and start whoring for visitors count because it's good for business. The more rumours the more visitors, the more visitors the more attractive the site becomes to sponsors. So they post an "inside info" from a "trusted source" on a daily basis to keep visitors coming. Read the rumour mill on the new iPhone and it is even more ridiculous than the Note 3.

If companies really had these many leaks they would have done something about it by now. Most of these rumours are just educated guesses from people who follow the industry and know the current technological trends in the mobile phone business. A lot of the members of the XDA forums can also make these very same educated guesses. You just need to follow what's been going on in the last couple of years.

So, why don't we keep our heads cool and wait a bit? There's nothing wrong with discussing future technology and the features we'd like to see in our beloved Note series phablet, but let's not take the rumours seriously.

On a side note: have you ever wondered if you've already exhausted the capabilities of this beast called the Samsung Galaxy Note 2? ;)

So long as the battery life is the same or better than the note 2 I might give it some thought. I simply love the camera on the s4 but battery life is disappointing. Ever since owning this phone battery life is going to be a huge factor for me going forward.

Make screen 16:10 not 16:9. So its more like phablet not phone on steroids.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.m0x:
That didn't work the first time around. The Note 2 is significantly more popular than the original Note ever was and the slight difference in form factor is a big factor. I for one did not have any interest in the original because it was a little too wide to fit into the front pocket of some of my jeans. To be exact it did fit but it was too difficult to slide my hand in and grip around the sides of the phone to pull it out.

There is definitely an argument for the 16:10 ratio as well but at the end of the day Samsung, like all manufacturers, want to make a product which appeals to the widest possible market segment.

Sent from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II General] gefilus:
Its true, but 16:9 is obly good for watching videos. Reading, web, emails, keyboard, in there 16:10 is better, no need wider phone, meme screen edge to edge, but change aspect ratio
[Galaxy Note II General] sohebq:
True, the note 1 looks horrible in front of note 2, a bit brick like structure, too ugly I would say. The note 2 is more stylish, easy to grip. It can appeal you easily.

[Galaxy Note II General] spidermoon:
Me too, i switch to max speed only for the most demanding game. If there is something to make better it's the internal memory. 16Gb is ridiculous. A least a 32Gb fast ssd (> 100MB/s read/write) will change the rule.

With current android, no need of 3GB, 'cause no games need it, it's just battery hog since all apps try to stay in memory and use cpu for nothing.

13Mpx camera ? the 8mpx is more than enough, you just need better jpeg engine and lens.

Make a better touchwizz launcher, i use nova for it's customization options, if Samsung allow at least changing row and line of the screen grid and remove label, it will be great.

Powerful front stereo speakers won't harm too :)

Then bought galaxy s4...trust me after buying I used it only one hour..then sold out again n bought again note 2..s4 is worthless.note series is best ever
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
The recent rumors are all 5.7 screen (5.68 actually) which seem likely since note 1 to 2 was only a .25 inch increase. Somewhat dissapointing and I'll have my eye on the htc one max.

[Galaxy Note II General] hockeyfan:
Does this mean that if one were to buy an international unlocked SM-N9005, it would be compatible with and useable on AT&T's LTE network (AWS 1700MHz)? We would get LTE speeds?
[Galaxy Note II General] BarryH_GEG:
It depends. If it has RF360 (and a multiband LTE radio) than yes. SlashGear seems to think it does.

The USA-based Samsung Galaxy Note III will more than likely be carrying the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor, complete with multi-carrier 4G LTE connectivity provided by the RF360 global radio, also made by Qualcomm.​

http://www.slashgear.com/samsung-ga...-specifications-war-very-unofficial-13293626/

Here's the story on RF360 - http://www.qualcomm.com/media/relea...olution-enables-single-global-lte-design-next

If the international 9005 does have global LTE support (including the ability to work on AT&T) that's the one I'm getting. If it doesn't I'm getting the 900.
[Galaxy Note II General] zergslayer69:
I really want my next phone to be 6 inch or larger but want to have stylus support. Currently waiting for note 3 announcement and eyeing the xperia z ultra. Only thing is battery seems to be a weak link on the ultra. Don't disappoint me Samsung, the note 3 started out as a rumor of 6.3 then 5.99 and now it's 5.68.
[Galaxy Note II General] OzEnigma:
I think the size is great on the note2 and think any change should only be relatively small.

If they could increase screen size without changing the dimensions of the phone, that would be ideal.

Their "insiders" are at best right about half the time. I can only imagine the credibility of their non-inside sources. Anyway, does anyone here "get" the whole smart watch thing? I have a N2, 10.1" tablet, home server, and multiple PCs. The last thing I need is yet another device that does the same thing existing devices do to have to keep in sync. What do you guys see the benefit of a smart watch being and how would it fit in with the devices you already have?

this Smartwatch thing how will it be charged,a cable dangelling from your arm?I hardly remove my watch from my arm..
[Galaxy Note II General] sohebq:
For me its just a gimmek, not useful at all. When you have all the things on your cell, why would you need the same on a watch? The concept of smart watch is to make things easier for you like checking contacts, dialing , weather, fb and so on. For that, they will charge you I guess $250? No way I will ever buy it. I would better spend money on Google glass rather than watch.

Screen Too small to upgrade.
[Galaxy Note II General] abauer:
I think GN3 it is a good device with those specs , more ram Yes whynot if is faster i don'tknow , same size as GN2 but slightly bigger screen , slightly better cpu gpu , battery is not as good as I was expecting , at least 3500 , the camera I don't consider as an upgrade at all , plus the latest Android , not bad to attrackt new customers, as whole package I mean. Now to upgrade from Gn2 to Gn3 I think is a waste of money but that's just my opinion.
[Galaxy Note II General] Tonio78370:
No GN3 for me cause I'm fed up with Samsung. Never a full functional SW, always a problem.
[Galaxy Note II General] FinancialWar:
will Note 3 have Snapdragon 800?
[Galaxy Note II General] Alexei Volkoff:
I am also very disappointed with the Note 3 specs, especially the screen size. roccky, how much of that 6.4" screen is actually usable? I can't understand why, with a bottom bezel that wide, Sony did not place the home button row on the bezel instead of on screen. That must steal quite a lot of screen real estate, no?

I've had my Note 2, the Huawei Ascend Mate and a Galaxy Mega 6.3 side by side. Even thought the Ascend Mate sports a 6.1" screen, the fact that the home button row is on screen steals a lot of usable space. In real terms, the usable screen size on the Ascend Mate is not bigger than the Note 2's screen. I never realized that until I had both phones side-by-side. I hope Samsung never places the home row on screen.

I was in love with the screen size of the Mega 6.3. I was very surprised to see that it was still comfortable to hold in my hand and it still fit my jeans pockets despite the screen size (just barely, though). Samsung did a great job keeping those bezels small and thin (which Sony apparently did not). The screen quality of the Mega was quite disappointing though. It palled (literally) in a side-by-side comparison with the Note 2 and, believe it or not, I could actually spot the pixels. I always said that at 200+ dpi density people can not discern individual pixels. I stand corrected. You can. Even at 233 dpi the Mega 6.3 pixels were discernible with light backgrounds.

After these comparisons it became clear to me that moving from 5.5" to 5.7" will not make any real world difference. I don't see a need for a full HD screen on a 5.7" screen nor will it bringing me any benefits either since the movies I watch on my Note are in 720p at most, so a FHD screen means downscalling the image with image quality loss. Whether it will be noticeable or not remains to be seen, but I don't see any benefits.

I do not consider a 13 MP camera an upgrade. For what matters to me - low light camera performance, it will more likely be a downgrade than anything else.

The extra processing speed: which apps will take advantage of it, really?

I really want a device with a true 6" usable screen (at least) or a 6.3" screen ideally, a stylus, and decent low light camera performance (yes, that means fitting a bloody flash in it Sony :mad:) but it seems that it won't be Samsung the ones who will be delivering it. At least not until September 2014.

Considering the upcoming HTC One Max and Alcatel One Touch Scribe Pro, I think Samsung made a mistake being so conservative with the specs. I will look into whatever the competition has to offer.
[Galaxy Note II General] shaolin95:
While I dont agree about the CPU power not being useful, I mostly agree with all your points. When it was first announced and the 6" screen rumored, I got happy...then 5.7" became the more probably size and my happiness turned into serious dissapointment. So much that for the first time I am looking into HTC and Sony as my next possible phone after Note and Note 2. :/

Lame how samsung let other companies steal the show this time by giving a bigger, more productive screen size while still being manageable.

Oh well...
[Galaxy Note II General] SunShiner:
I don`t see the Galaxy Note 3 as an Game Changer. I mean all the facts released, if not faked, are not mindblowing. The Snapdragon 800 is pretty standard for devices released these days. I don`t wanna whine, because maybe we all a little bit overhyped and expecting too much sometimes. But I will not buy if not the SW will bring anything very special....or a plastic display!

Maybe Samsung says........and now look........click...your new Note 3 is also a Smartwatch. :D
[Galaxy Note II General] betoNL:
The GNote2 is a great phone and sold by the millions, but it didn't sell more than the S3 and won't sell more than the the S4....Why? Because the majority of the consumers still think/thought the size it's too big (not me).

Now, taking into consideration that there are already phones out there which are bigger than the Gnote2, like Galaxy Mega,and the Sony Xperia z ultra for instance, perhaps the hesitating crowd will not find the Note 3 that big after all and it will be even a bigger commercial success for Samsung , despite of what some of you think.

Time will show if Samsung's strategy will pay off or not...

Anyhow hardware is definitely more powerful and software more slicker than our GNote2's

Enough for me to move on to it?

That I will know for sure only after I played enough with it in the showrooms...

Written stuff doesn't impress nor disappoint me ....

The rest is speculation...

[Galaxy Note II General] angrax:
i hope the 3 different size rumor become true... i want the new features and keep the screen size from Galaxy note 2.
[Galaxy Note II General] BarryH_GEG:
Exactly. Here's where I think the difference in opinion is coming from. A lot of people bought the Note not for its features but simply because it had a giant screen or, when it first came out, betters specs than the SGS3 (Exynos<>LTE vs. S3<>LTE and Exynos<>2GB RAM vs. Exynos<>1GB of RAM). I'm sure Samsung's thrilled that so many people outside the Note's intended audience ("creativity" users sold on S Pen, S Note, and Multiview) bought it but those folks aren't who the Note is/was intended for.

Since so many people outside the Note's market have bought it for the larger screen, a lot of manufacturers (including Samsung) are introducing giant phones without the complexity (and materials expense) of the Note. The Mega(s), OG Pro 5.5", XZ Ultra, and One Max are nothing more than giant-screened phones. The XZ Ultra and most likely the One Max use N-trig for inking which is at best a casual solution and just something to add to the "features" list. Until someone comes out with a giant phone with an inductive display and applications (EG: S Note) to support it the Note remains in a class of "one."

So those of you that want a Samsung phone with a bigger display than the Note your beef is really that Samsung chose such mid-range specs for the Mega-series which is their product intended for the giant phone crowd; not that the Note doesn't have a larger screen. If you have no interest in S Pen, S Note, Mutlivew, et. al., than the Note's inductive display and accompanying s/w is nothing but a memory and performance drain.

Speaking personally, I'm thrilled the N3 isn't any physically larger than the N2. In fact, if it were, I wouldn't buy it. I think 5.5-ish" is the perfect size for being able to ink and have multiple apps open. The value of those things is why I have a giant phone. If not for those things there's no way I'd have a giant phone and would be perfectly fine with the SGS4 or one of its competitors.

So everyone here has different needs and a different perspective on what a giant phone should be. That and what Samsung's specs and feature choices are/were for their giant phones which include both the Note and the Mega. And since our needs are different we'll never agree of what's "right."
[Galaxy Note II General] hagba:
Since as you say for most of the people the GN2 is a big screen, and I for one agree with you, then the GN3 with its 5.7 inch screen will be also considered as big device, even if it comes with the same GN2 size.

So who's gonna buy the GN3 then, mostly the people who love big screens and already have one .I think the GN3 will be sold to the same GN2 owners clan if the screen size is substantially bigger and worth the upgrade, I already find my GN2 a very normal size device and if I'm gonna upgrade I want something larger, or may be I'm not alone after all. .
