Moving to Note 2 - Some comparison pics before I leave

[winwiz]

It's been a pleasure guys, but time to move on to the absolute monster known as the Note 2.

Its stunning, amazing in every way. Speaker is amazing!

The S3 seems like a toy in comparison, lol

Can I ask what happens on your Note II when you press the "Home" button from sleep? Mine takes me to my "Home" screen instead of the app that was open when the phone fell asleep. If I press the "power" button I will however get to the last opened app. I find this very annoying when I have the phone on a table-top. I then have to use to hands to wake correctly.

Don't disable your SVoice. If your SVoice is not disable, check the SVoice home button setting in the SVoice setting.

Same happens on the S3 if you disable S-Voice, it's only for this reason I have it enabled.

Wow. I knew Note II was bigger than S3, but this is huge

Very close to what it looks like when my friends compare their phones to my S3 ;D

yes a bit too huge, i am back to the S3, lol

 

[dazkyl]

Im never going to change me S3, except when the S4 comes out. I got used to this size , plus I overclocked the S3's CPU to 1.6, the same as the Note 2's clock speed.So yeah, I wait for the S4

 

[XenomorphXx121]

yes a bit too huge, i am back to the S3, lol

That didn't last long and what happened to the s3 being a toy

I love my note 10.1 absolutely amazing tablet but still use my s3 for Internet and taking pictures

Lol that's what I did as well: bought the note2 thinking:
-screen is big and not pentile
-awesome battery
-stylus
-2GB RAM

And I was a bit disappointed by the screen; sure it's crisp and clear, but the color variation at the slightest angle was annoying (especially on white background).
Black level wasn't that great (SGS1>SGS3>Note2 for those I tested).

The stylus was a big let down: it felt cheap and a bit unreliable. I use a Japanese learning app where you have to write the character they ask you to, it was working just half of the time.

What was left was battery and Ram.
Well, that's great but I was already slightly annoyed when someone called me.
Even alone in my room I thought: "Do I really have to put this near my ear?" :silly:

I realised it wasn't for me, returned it and bought a S3. :cyclops:

Im also gunna be swapping to the Note 2.

Never had any problems with the s3 its just because i bought my Galaxy S3 when it first came out and then soon after they released the Note 2 and now i want that one lol.

Well, the screen on S3 definitely looks sharper (especially the fonts). Higher PPI, I guess.

Well, S3 screen is smaller so, yes, you have this feeling.
But regarding really small fonts, they will be easier to read on the Note2 with a good definition while on the S3 they will turn into "small dots" garbage.

Don't know how to explain better! :silly:

Anyway, that's a case where you zoom-out and display a full web page on your phone.
That could help locate something like a menu or link but you wouldn't read this kind of fonts size.
