Galaxy S3 or Galaxy Note 2


Recommended Posts

Because, I've already bought it...

Best purchase you'll make this year. :p

For ROMs, take a look over on XDA-Developers. There's already a beta of CM10 (Unofficial) available; this early days yet though. Personally, I like TouchWiz, and any non-TW ROM's are going to be missing all the lovely S-Pen features...

Ive got an SII and getting an S3 more likely soon. The rom dev scene behind the S3 is an insane force. Lots of roms of the ATT/Telus/Bell/Rogers version. I was also considering hte One x+..but my main concern is moddability. I checked out a note II yesterday and it was rather overwhelming, not one handable.

As far as mods go, its not that fair to compare a phone that has been out for almost a year vs one that is just coming out in the states. Mods will come, you can already get a beta CM10 on the Note 2, and do you really think they won't get mods working with the S Pen features?

okay so here is what i would recommend, the iPhone 5.

sure the S3 and the Note 2 are powerful devices as compared to the iPhone.. but after being a android user for about a year now and running it at stock, doing no modding and without running any special apps on it, lets just say i used it pretty much for calling and texting.. i have just grown out of it! the lag and the un-smoothiness whole android expreince is.. even on my friends S2! the phone lags like **** while doing simple tasks..

And i'm no apple fanboy.. or a person who just wants an iphone because everybody has one.

but iOS is way so much ****ing smooth in all aspects, it runs smoother, no lags, fast app execution/start up.. it makes it worth the price. i'm sure no one who has used iOS and Android both for a long long time will disaggree on that.

but if your someone who likes to play around with alot apps and a phone is a big part of your life and u can handle a little lag here and there, get the S3 and if you dont mind the huge size for the note 2? then note 2 it is.

but if you was me.. iPhone it would have been. ;)

- I'm stuck on getting the Note 2 but waiting for Sprint to come off their $299 for it (I missed the Black Friday deals I guess) Does anyone know when Sprint is lowering the price with contract on the Note 2.

I've been debating this for quite awhile and I've thrown my multiple rooted HTC Hero piece of **** so many times but it just keeps on ticking.

I have the S3 and I love it but I would have got the Note2 over this phone only because I do a lot of remote network stuff on my phone and would love the larger screen. And the quadcore CPU isnt too shabby either on the Note.

That said, either one is gonne rock. If you like the big juicy screen you cant go wrong with the Note,,

    • No kidding, Tim, we've been running low on memory for a while now... get your head out of the Apple pixie dust cloud and come back down to earth with us peons.

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.
