not joking, huge improvement from Galaxy Note 1 / Galaxy S2
CAT-4 LTE, the removable battery and expandable storage (though the battery life on this thing is so much better than my GNexus that I doubt I'll ever need a second battery) all played a big part.
However if I'm honest, I'd figured I was getting a phablet way back in may but I was torn between the Note 3 or the One Max - I loved the design of the One and yes, the non-removable battery and non-expandable storage were sucky but I figured if they released a bigger version of it, I'd be sold.
Then IFA came and went and HTC announced nothing. Then rumours circulated that it would have a downgraded processor and after seeing the Note 3, I decided I'd waited long enough.
I'm pretty sure the exact moment I made my mind up (And this will sound stupid) was when I seen that it had a USB3 port instead.
I'd planned not to get it but it's just so damn gorgeous looking I couldn't resist. Display, s-pen and battery life are all an improvement over the Note 2 and I have 32gb internal storage now so all good.

my opinion
Samsung galaxy note 3 is an all rounder device..has almost everything..
sony z1 and lg 2 are also very good but lacks some important features..like lg g2 doesn't have external sd and sony z1 display is not as good as Samsung(personal opinion so pls don't start an argument)..and i watched many reviews where they claimed the sony z1 camera is not as good as what sony is claiming..
on the other hand, Samsung has s-pen and unique multitasking features..
in my country lg g2 and sony z1 both are cheaper than gn3..but i still bought gn3 as it has everything i want..and lacks nothing (although ois in camera wud have been a nice addition)

i sign that
I faced the exactly the same question when helping my wife to decide a smartphone. I did a little research on the internet, and here are the reason why I choose SII over Nexus.
1. Super AMOLED vs AMOLED HD
Yes, Nexus as better resolution and higher ppi, but the quality of display, the color saturation on the SII is better than the Nexus when comparing them side by side
2. Corning Gorilla Glass
This is only for the SII, Nexus doesn't have that.
3. CPU + GPU
Galaxy S2 CPU：1.2GHz dual-core ARM Cortex A9 CPU、Samsung Exynos 4210。
Galaxy Nexus CPU：1.2GHz dual-core ARM Cortex A9 CPU、TI OMAP 4460。
Same CPU, but the GPU for SII is slightly better suited for high end graphics
4. Camera
Galaxy S2：8MP rear camper with 1080p HD video、2MP front
Galaxy Nexus：5MP rear camera with 1080p HD video、1.3MP front
So in the end, I choose the SII instead of Galexy Nexus. But please keep in mind, that the difference are minor, so if you have already choose the Nexus, stay with it. Both are excellent benchmark android device. Excellent phones from Samsung.

Well, as the title reads, which phone should I get next? My AT&T contract will be fulfilled in the next couple of months so, I've been looking at available AT&T phones. I currently have an HTC Desire Z and I love the size of it - easy to put in and take out of my jeans pocket. Most of the new phones I see are so big they should come with a back pack for them. Can anyone recommend a late model, fast phone that isn't as huge as the HTC One X and Samsung G3? And, please don't say "Iphone".

Sent from my Rooted Gameboy
I think ~5" is the perfect size for a smartphone - big enough screen to see things and enjoy it, but small enough to still use effectively with one hand.
Honestly, I remember the first cell-phone I ever used and it was WAY bigger.
If you do want something smaller, though - I don't know, I'd probably look at international phones that would work with ATT, or just go into an ATT store or such and look around. The Galaxy S3 Mini is smaller, but I don't know how well it will work on ATT and what you could expect (it lacks LTE, I've heard). It also depends on the performance you're expecting.
have you considered one of those quality Chinese android handsets ?
things like the Newman N1, GooPhone, ZTE V970 etc ?
I think you should go with Galaxy S3. I am also using this phone last some months it's a superb mobile phone bacase it has 4.8 inch Superb Super AMOLED display with saturated colors and high contrast with 8 megapixel camera with autofocus, flash and HD video recording, 4.0 android operating system, Quad-core 1.4 GHz Processor and 2050 mAh battery capacity. You can read full details here:
themobileindian.com/handset-guide/details/Samsung-Galaxy-SIII
Thanks for all the replies! I do plan to look around the AT&T store but sometimes its a little overwhelming when I start diving into the specs for every phone.
I was not aware of the "quality" made chinese phones; I may look into that.
Thanks again for the help and if there are anymore recommendations please, keep them coming.

Getting my kid a new phone for Christmas (she has my old Droid X). Was contemplating an IPhone, soley because of the incredible speech-to-text features (something my Bionic is woefully poor at) Sales dude at Verizon showed me what a Samsung can do in that realm....was utterly impressed....no diference from the 'Sirry' IPhone thing (apparently it hinges on a google service)
what's your budget? Desire z is mid range so if your budget is about the same then look at Galaxy S2.
Budget will be determined by AT&T having a phone I will settle with on a contract extension so, I guess my budget will be $200~300.

Best phone on the market at the minute (*arguably*) is the ASUS Padfone 2.. but sadly it isn't available in the US (no US release date mentioned yet either).. so would probably say the LTE version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 would be a contender..
I'm not really looking at the IPhone 5 but will the IPhone 5 sync with my google contacts and google calendar? That's one thing I really like about the android phones. From my research the iphone 5 can be made to sync with all my google stuff but how effective/accurate is it? Are there any bugs or issues with this?

I just took the Huawei U8836d shine and i'm very happy with it. Changed the stock rom to custom and has great battery life than other chinese brands. Great design. gorilla glass and sturdy materials plus very thin and comfortable. Check it out.
I recommend Samsung Galaxy Note II , it's really amazing phone very fast , smooth and got the latest Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean

Galaxy Ace for your Preffered Size
I would Suggest to go for Samsung Galaxy Ace or You can Opt for Huawei Ascend.
I will suggest you to don't go for small screen size as 2013 will be the Year of Big Screens so if you are willing then go for Note II you will love it and Also will get use to its Big Size.

Sent from my One S using XDA Premium HD app
Well, you say that the SGS3 will soon be outdated but in all honesty do you really care about the newer hardware? The only real changes which will be made soon are 1080p screens and better processors. You will never see the difference between 1080p and 720p screens unless you're specifically comparing them side by side to see purely the sharpness of the screen, and I have yet to find an app that I regularly use that even the SGS2 can't handle with ease, so I doubt you'll find one for the SGS3. It takes heavy games in its stride too, since many devs optimise their apps for the SGS3's chipset (in a similar way that you see Tegra3 optimised games).
Having said this, the SGS3 also has a lot that other phones don't:
-There are various storage options and more importantly expandable storage
-Being so popular means that it has a huge variety of accessories (almost iPhone-like in that respect)
-It has a removable battery which means that you can fit an extended battery if you wish
-It has a menu button so you don't get the three dots softkey like you do on HTCs
-TouchWiz (whilst ugly) has some amazing features
-It still has one of the best smartphone cameras currently available
-The development community is huge
-It has a variety of colour options
Samsung galaxy s3.
I think I'm leaning towards the s3 or sucking it up and waiting for the s4 the storage for the dna is a huge deal breaker

Hey all. I'm a current Nexus 4 user but I would really like a phone with better battery life that is also removable and has external storage but I don't want to give up stock android. So the GE of the S4 seems favorable but I'm wondering if it still makes sense to get the GE of the S4 seeing as there are a lot of Snapdragon 800 phones now on the market?
IMHO it is not worth taking a non SD800 phone right now... Mostly because Adreno 330 over Adreno 320 than CPU itself.

If you want a near perfect stock Android experience then yeah get the S4 GE. Much smoother and faster than CM (tried 'em both). Getting around 30 hours of battery-life and the performance is absolutely great. Went from a Nexus 4 to my S4, and the latter is better in almost every aspect. :good:
It depends on whether you live your life by benchmark scores like so many people on here seem to. Would there be a real-world difference between a Snapdragon 600 or Snapdragon 800 phone now or in the near future? I have my doubts. Yes, we know the SD800 is faster, but what use is paying extra for that additional speed if nothing you do with your phone needs to or can utilise it? For example, I know my I9505 is considerably faster than my brother's I9300. Yet I know from first hand experience that his S3 doesn't run visibly slower than my S4 when running any of the applications or games I have compared.
So the upshot for me is that other factors then become more important. For example the camera. Or the screen size and quality.
Not at all. I just received mine yesterday and love it! I had an AT&T GS4, but couldn't get it to perform right even after rom's, kernels, etc. TOUCHWIZ = bad
I'm very happy with the performance of this phone and will hold onto it until the GS5 (hopefully) is released as a GPE.
I agree that I don't see it being too late to get a S4 GPE. My Galaxy Nexus failed a couple months ago and I really wanted my next phone to have a removable battery and a microSD card slot, but I have no desire to use anything but stock Android. The S4 GPE was just what I was looking for. With a bit of research, I've been able to root the device, unlock the bootloader, install CWM recovery, and make full Nandroid backups--just like on a Nexus phone.
I really hope Google maintains the GPE line of phones in the future. Not having to depend on Nexus hardware or flashing custom ROMs as the only way to get an unaltered Android interface is really nice.

Man....i did the same mistake as you wanna make!I used a Nexus 4 before buying a Galaxy S4.I`m very dissapointed by this phone.In theory should be better than Nexus 4 but the TouchWiz interface is full of lag glitches and other things that you don`t see at Nexus 4.Battery is definitely worse than Nexus`s 4.In benchmark tests it S4 scores better than Nexus 4 but in the normal daily usage you don`t feel this difference.I have i9505 model and i must tell you that no pure stock android 4.3 porting is perfect like the one that you have on Nexus 4.So...the main advantages of Galaxy S4 are the camera wich is gorgeous comparing to Nexus 4 camera.Also the display is way better than the one from Nexus 4.But on Nexus 4 you can use "faux123" kernel and his app from playstore to adjust the correct colours for the display and you will get a very nice vivid display.Also the combination between "faux123" kernel and "Purity Rom" will give you a decent battery life.I had a "faster" cpu binning Nexus 4,wich supports a 150 mv undervoltage.That didn`t impove too much battery life but the overheating problem was gone at all.So...for short...Nexus 4 + faux123 kernel(and his app) + Purity Rom + 150 mv undervoltage makes the Nexus 4 almost as good as Galaxy S4 but at a lot more deccent price.Hope this will help you to make the correct decision.Have a nice day mate!

l had two issues with my beloved Note II. One was the relatively low ppi for such a big screen, and the other was the handling of the device in my hand. Note III for me is simply amazing in every single aspect.
Is the N3 bigger then the N2 or same size??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
On papers it's a but narrower and thinner and it's taller by 1 mm only. However, it feels bigger in my hand (my opinion) and more difficult to handle. I guess because the angles are not curved as they used to be on note2.
And also because the screen is bigger, it gives you feeling that the device is much bigger than its predecessor. I feel the note2 design is more friendly to the hands. That's my only negative thought I have against the note2. Otherwise, the device is amazing. Silky smooth, great camera, battery will last a full day no matter how much you use it, S pen improvement....etc

It is slightly taller, a little less wide and thick
It comes with an easy open ASP?
That's a great way to fend off would be phone thieves... Include a retractable police baton.
How are you guys liking the magazine feature and new Gallery?
For me the fact that is a tad narrower and the back is not glossy which slips from my hands but this leather-feel plastic,makes the grip much more easy. This is what I have read in the articles and what I found out myself using it. Still u can't use the device with one hand w/o the one hand operation, but it feels so much safer in my hands and easier to handle.
I forgot to mention the amazing 4k video. It's simply stunning and my Dell U2713 for once is put to shame!
I simply don't care about the cam so much, with which I found out,where it matters, (in the low light that is) it's nothing sort of great.
But overall Note III seems like a faster,better,well polished version of Note II with bleeding edge tech. What else can someone ask? Seriously..
Amazing Phone
The screen of the Galaxy Note 3 is amazing, also the battery life. Its just Wow. And ofcourse the S pen is alot better, coming from note 2 & galaxy s4. Its very fast switching apps and stuff, didnt saw any stutter (Now I have this phone 2 days). I flashed Stock rom from sammobile. overal great Phone really liking it. Also the gaming experince is awesome on this screen.:victory::victory:
The more I use this the more little hidden gems I find like the ability to resize the screen and launch an app from voice command on lockscreen
