Or do I just grab Note 2 LTE when the price drops :s11:

I can re-contract now =:p

Opinions are valued, please feel free to discuss :D

Note 3 will definitely be more powerful and will probably come with exynos 5 octa since samsung would have mass produced the processors by the end of the year and tweak it with higher clock speed and possibly more RAM in the phone. Stylus will always be a feature and it would be nice if they can keep the footprint similar to note 2 if they want to increase the screen size. Note 3 is still months away though.

now that i've been using note 2 for a while, i am totally sold on big screens, can never go back to anything smaller than note 2......so if i have to choose between s4 and n3, i will wait for n3....

I'll be getting S4 to try it out, currently using note ll. The only deciding factor will be the stylus, performance wise I doubt will be much different. Tbh note ll is great, but for me it's abit big to carry around, so 5inch S4 might sound perfect for me.

Same 5inch as my PSVita, and as much as I enjoyed movie on it and on note ll.

PS: Note lll will be coming out as 5.9inch from some sources, too big for me liao haha. But the specs will be mind blowing to squeeze inside

Oh guys don't forget that S4 has infra-red built-in too... Would be convenient using it as an universal remote.

But sucks that we're getting the quad-core Qualcomm processor instead of the octa-core Samsung processor.

Like I mentioned, the performance will be very margin difference, most of us won't notice the actual performance difference unless through benchmark. That's why Snapdragon clocked at higher

I am thinking S4 is definitely easier to fit into any pocket. Note 3 should be able to fit into my office pants pocket but may have problems with my jeans pocket.

On the flip side, Note 3 screen is bigger so knowing myself, if I get S4, I'm pretty sure very soon I will gian the bigger screen.

In terms of battery, LPPL lah. Note 3 battery is bigger so will have higher capacity. However bigger screen also means higher consumption. Likewise S4 screen is smaller hence lower consumption, but the battery is smaller so lower capacity. It balances up in that sense so as far as I'm concerned, battery life is not an issue.

Ultimately for me I think it depends how big Note 3 is. If rumour are true and its 6.x inch then I think its really way too big for me. However if they somehow manage to keep it to Note 2's dimensions despite a larger screen then I guess I can still consider it.

I consider S pen as a most innovative invention from Sumsung.
So Note is the right choice to make.
Comparing with S4, I'd rather to choose ip5/4s.

Definitely S4 over S3 if time and money is not an issue. If you can wait till May and the price difference between the 2 phones is reasonable to you, then definitely get the S4 over S3.
