Note 3, xperia z ultra, xperia z1, G2, iphone 5S/6... wow, pretty much choices to choose from for phone upgrader...it only seems like yesterday when note 2 was launched!

By the way, with the "leather" backcover, kind of useless for majority who use phone with casing/cover. but if use naked, theres a chance that the sides metal piece will be dented or scratched. Hmm, maybe I will use it with a bumper.

 

[Universal76]

Well, took them a long while to position at the bottom of phone as then the back side.

Not bad. Kinda expected the incremental update, but a nice update nonetheless. Like that they made more use out of the S-pen so it's not just another phone with a large screen. The back cover... I'm not sure how durable that will be though. I have phones with faux leather back before and they did not age well, especially if you're the type that like to go naked. lol. I like the Jet Black version.

I'm still not sure whether this will be worth the upgrade if you're coming from a Note 2 though. But if you're on the Note 1 still, and like the form factor, Note 3 is going to be great.

 

[dgeralds]

So will the Dual SIM version N9002 be launched internationally or for China only. Did google search but unable to get much info. Thank you.

 

[Vulpix]

Hrmmm, predicted most of the specs right. I also not expecting any huge leaps and bounds, I'm mostly hoping for even better and smoother stylus writing. Now that the processing power is up there, I believe that writing on the Note 3 should be even smoother than before.

Although not in most reviews, Note 2 improved the writing experience over the Note 1 tremendously. I am hoping that the new Note 3 is nearly lag free when writing with the monster computing power of the Snapdragon.

After watching much video, still can't decide to get Black or White... Altho finally a Black instead of a Grey, I'm not a fan of Black leather looks. As for the White, leather sure turn yellow or even black from wear and tear, luckily can switch back cover, really bad experience with BlackBerry white leather case, it gets so dirty after few months.

Hopefully can see more pictures of the new Smart covers, didn't get on my S4 due to the small window, now it's just great size!

I'm thinking of getting Black Note lll with Red S Smart covers, since Black goes really nice with any combi

 

[kEvinErd]

Engadget reported that this phone is much more manageable compared to its predecessors. I hope it's really true! I've a love hate relationship with my Note 2 size. Lol.

 

[madz_syl]

Woohoo! Been waiting for this as an upgrade to my note 1. I wonder if SG will be in the first batch of release on the 25th

 

[ho_kailiang]

Any release dates? This month?

 

[streamstyle]

White look nicer...anyway the back leather. Cover can be replace so why worry so much.

 

[luei74]

so now can we predict about the launching price here?

 

[streamstyle]

Note 2 will be getting update on Oct.. wonder have the same function as n3

 

[Vulpix]

Any release dates? This month?

27th September in certain regions not yet specified. If history has shown anything, we are definitely not in that region.
