Still looks like it'll have the crapdragon, but man this thing looks awesome. 1280x800? Even in pentile that'll look great. Oh how I wish I could have both this and my i777.
I want this but not with the snapdragon. Ill probably have to pass on it. Im afraid it will have little Dev support. We will have to see.

Give up Exynos, gain LTE. Why can't we have our cake and eat it too? I hope Samsungs next chips will support LTE. Nay, Sumsungs next chips MUST support LTE.
After seeing it pass through the FCC, I had been waiting for the Note to hit AT&T. I would have gladly returned the SGSII in favor of the Note, but the moment I read the latest news - and that AT&T is favoring LTE over exynos, I decided to give up hope on the Note.
I honestly don't think the snapdragon processor has enough power to drive that high resolution display without stuttering. That might not bother AT&T as long as they get to push LTE phones (even though LTE is nothing more than a meaningless buzzword in the vast majority of AT&T markets right now), but it bothers me. It's like taking a beautiful Porche and sticking a moped motor in it.
Even if the snapdragon is capable of pushing that display, it'll only do so by draining the battery quicker than a 14 year old boy with a copy of national geographic.

The fact that they are favoring the LTE over the Exynos, even though they dont have many areas with LTE coverage ATM really pisses me off. Ive been waiting for this device to get actual AT&T support for a while, just to find out i shoulda bought the one from overseas a long time ago? THIS SUCKS!! I already owned a Hercules, basically the same thing as the SR but without the LTE, and I had an amaze, both of which run the same internals as the AT&T "note". I am sooo disappointed right now, pffff, snapdragon, what a let down.
edit: they did say to keep in mind its hearsay, while unlikely, lets hope that it IS the case!

I too have been waiting to see if would come to AT&T for a while now and in what form. My gs2 is a work phone and been was going to get the Note as a personal phone once it hit here. I'll probably just pick up the international version now as no LTE in my area and probably won't be for a while and appears to be inferior hardware from what I've read.

Could be worse - Verizon customers have had the choice of only battery-hogging fatties or underspecced cripplephones for many months.
LTE isn't going to be mature enough for primetime for at least a year, the power/weight penalties are way too high currently. Unfortunately it's starting to look like AT&T is pulling a Verizon, not giving customers who want a mature, refined, high-end phone with decent battery life many options.
Most likely, the I777 is going to be the peak of refinement in terms of contract-subsidized devices on AT&T for at least a year. Anything newer and you'll be one of AT&T's LTE beta testers.
Remember the early days of UMTS? We're in the same position now with LTE.

I made another, here is my story.
I bought mine Oct 2nd so I was just a few days off the 30 day cut off. I went to AT&T and they said the only way I could upgrade is to return my phone today and be without a phone (or use old phone) until the 6th. I said that wasn't worth it and left. Later they called me and said they did some tweaking and will let me return and get the sky rocket on the 6th.
I can't decide if it is worth it, I will have to back up, unroot, stock rom, and then wait for root on skyrocket and wait for Zagg to make a screen protector.
All that for .3 bigger screen and a 1.5 ghz. No 4G LTE in my area.
What do you think? Is it worth it?
Personally I don't think its worth it. Even if LTE was in my area, I'd pass. I'm much happier with this screen vs. my Infuse.
Even if the exchange was an even swap, I can't say I'd do it to be perfectly honest.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
If you are going to return current phone, you have to pay $30 restocking fee. The new LTE version will cost you $250 plus activation fee ($18). All in all you will have to pony up for around $100 extra for .3 inch of screen and SLOWER processor, not faster regardless of the clock speed, and LTE that you currently can't use.

No restocking fee for people that purchased on Amazon. Free return shipping also.
If Amazon sells the skyrocket, I can buy the skyrocket for full price and Amazon will credit the account back after they receive my SG2. Free 2 day shipping with no tax.

The question is, why are they so willing to do some "tweaking" to trade out on this particular model? Why were they not selling the GS2 at local AT&T stores (here in california)? Maybe because they have an agenda to sell the skyrocket? I dont know, but it sure does sound suspicious.

It's tempting for me cause I'm in an LTE market, but hspa+ speeds are generally good enough for everything I do mobile. The bigger screen will make it a little harder in one hand (I had the bigger sprint version of the GSII for a couple weeks), I think our screen is about the perfect size for a phone
it's snapdragon.
it's the first LTE phone from AT&T, and they want the LTE speeds with that large screen to last through the day. snapdragon is a weaker processor that takes up less battery. so therefore, there you go.
my SGS2 is oc'd to 1.6ghz, and it flies through anything you throw at it. so if you have one, keep it. lol
i work there, so yeah.

There is nothing about the 1.5 GHz Snapdragon that's unannounced. Yes, right now, it hasn't been officially announced that the 1.5 GHz is a Snappy - but the evidence all points that way. There are no 1.5 GHz Exynos chips, and Samsung reserves the Exynos for flagship devices like the I9100 and Galaxy Note - we should consider ourselves lucky the I777 got one. Everything about the Skyrocket looks identical to the T989 except for the LTE radio.
So far, across the world, Galaxy S II devices have had either:
1) A 1.2 GHz Exynos
2) A 1.0 GHz Tegra2 (in foreign "niche" markets) - actually these have been rumored but I am not sure if I have ever seen one
3) A 1.5 GHz Snapdragon (in "niche" markets like T-Mobile and also apparently AT&T LTE).
The chances of it being a 1.5 GHz Exynos are slim to none. The chances of it being a 1.5 GHz OMAP4 are slightly higher - but not a single report points this way, and the T989 points away from this too. All the evidence says that 1.5 GHz dual-core A9 on a Samsung = Qualcomm APQ8060.
I agree with most people here. ASSUMING it's a snapdragon ( I don't know) the exynos runs circles around it. Look at the reviews between the tmobile sg2 and its siblings.
Touch wiz is not fully optimized for snapdragon. Something tells me samsung hasn't put to much effort on it.
LTE while awesome. Is a potential battery drainer if any experiences from phones on verizon hold true still. Honestly I love hspa+. its speeds are decent enough. Its a phone people... not a computer. Its a good balance of speed and battery consumption..
If indeed it turns out to be something other than a snapdragon then I suppose that would change the game a bit but I dont see paying 80 dollars extra when lte is only in like 5 markets. I'd hold off for two years and then get a better LTE phone when the LTE footprint will (hopefully) be mature(d)
Just my two cents..
why is every one getting so defensive? Let the phone come out. Everyone has different choices, you like gs2 good, very good. Someone else might prefer rocket. I returned mine gs2, I'll get HTC vivid and keep my eyes open for rocket in our forums. I think this was the best choice because, if anything, I'll have 30 days to get back to gs2.
And since I do business from best buy there is no restocking fee or any charge.
Coming from atrix, screen resolution and root matters to me so I've made my decision.

Whatever phone I get to replace my 3D hasn't even been announced or rumored yet, so im just waiting and still having fun with my 3D.
I'm not going to jump ship but rather wait to pull up to port to see whats next. I would not even consider another dual core when quad cores are on the way. Next phone will also be LTE compatible.
My next phone will be on sprint and will support LTE on both of springt's frequencies, 800Mhz and 1.9Ghz(I think). Quadcore on 28nm die. 4.5" screen. After seeing what HTC did with the bootloader, I'd like to see a Nexus device on sprint that supports the LTE I'm looking for.
I love my evo3d, running Myns 547 nightly, Anthrax kernel and system tuner to keep the voltage low for great battery usage. As long as people dont chase all the developers away with their complaining, this phone will only get better with all the creative talent here at xda
Hopefully in about a month we will know what the next one is. Hope it's quad core and big

No clue - nothing on the market now. However, unless AT&T shapes up and stops mangling their devices, it's almost guaranteed I'll buy the whatever is the latest iPhone with my contract subsidy and immediately eBay it - only because the iSheep love to overpay on eBay. My next device is almost guaranteed to be an international device or the next Nexus.
It's too soon to tell, I think my next upgrade is early 2013.
I'm waiting for windows phone 8, if it fixes the problems I have with it...
HTC One X looks really good... even the AT&T version (with the S4 Krait processor).
Im waiting for the GSIII of course. Samsung and HTC are the only companies that are worthy of my money, but perhaps something awesome will turn up at MWC and make me think twice on that.
Like the LG Vu? Now that is a fine looking.... I cant do it.
On the other hand I also thought the One X looked pretty nice too, looks like they tamed down sense in sense 4. Huawei and ZTE showed some cool phones. And Asus showed the padphone again. If it ever ships that could be cool.
But like entropy, I don't qualify until 2013, so I'm not looking too hard at any of these phones. If something really entices me I might give the 3 warranty replacements in 90 days trick a go.

I just bought the International Galaxy note (coming from the AT&T SGSII obviously) and I love it. I prefered the Exynos processor and the hardware button over the AT&T version. I can't see a quad core in a phone really blowing me out of the water as much as the dual core did. Dual core made everything in Android run very well (especially the Exynos, thank you Samsung) so it works great for me. Not to mention all tablet apps run on the Note with ICS (ex: Photoshop!). Don't think I'll be going down in size, or buying another AT&T version, anytime soon.

I said the same thing for supercurio, existz, and hardcore. Every kernel dev that doesn't give up on its followers will always be a great dev.
Laziness is a powerful thing - sometimes you'll see a good dev go to a device with good development, and be happy with what's there or just popping out patches.
If I had an I9100, I'd probably have just popped patches over to Ninpo until he stopped development.

I don't know i was kinda shock its like the shelf life of high end phones around 6 to 7 months then wham a new version. Now I did read that the slll will have only a duel core due to the quad doesn't play well with lte. Maybe that's why a duel core. Idk. One thing I've noticed is the phones are never complete to me. The one x has the quad core great camera but then no sd card. The note great but doesn't have the s4 chip. It's like all the phones have one major features lacking just so u may have to upgrade or move on to the next one.
What about a phone that has
Quad core
Sd card

Of course it's fake. Samsung has never stated that they intend to make another Note. It is pure conjecture.
Look what happened when they dropped the screen size half an inch with the S3. All of a sudden it is cool to have a ginormous screen. Hopefully it won't dissuade them to keep it above five inches.
The S3 is getting an SPen (called a CPen) very soon as well. Maybe the next Note will be one of the five Nexus phones dropping this year.
Who knows. Hell the one true fact of technology is you can't really keep up. There will always be the next hotness around the bend. Wow I didn't relize the note had been out so long I guess cuz Att just got it in March/April but i guess it has been out longer internationally.

That's how it usually works. International first and then the Americas. I am surprised the S3 is being released this quickly in the U.S. to be honest. Maybe they are trying to soak up some of the 'would be' iPhone 5 buyers although it is probably more along the lines of supply and demand.
Yea...I agree with you!

I with you there! I would be MORE tempted to go with a quad core S3-16 or even HTC ONE X-32 than this thing!
Welcome to the Note!
My bad, welcome to the community. I guess I woke up on the wrong side of the bed anyway, damn abcessed tooth has me being more grumpy than usaual.

To many little things in this article don't add up fire me to believe any more than maybe the timing.
First, it's either written by someone whose native tongue is not English or something... And why would the SG3 get quad core and the revised note be dual core? Just because if the lte thing? Makes no sense.
And why would they repeat the crap about over 300 dpi again as they do.
The while thing: Smells funny to this kid and when it smells like poop, it usually is.

I was thinking the same thing. Too poorly written and the things they've stated anybody could make up.

Guys what is the next round of phone or phones? I am considering the s3, and the one x and evo 4g lte are killer, but if there is something better/more powerful towards end of year, I want to wait. Does it look like end of this year for new phones or next year?

There is a rumor going around about HTC launching another Top Android phone. 'HTC One XXL'.
The device is said to have a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 2GB of RAM, a 4.7-inch Super LCD2 display, and LTE connectivity.

There is usually a product cycle to the big contender phones. Just like every summer, a new EVO is released. You'll find other phones released between these times. But, you never know. They're already developing superphones that are faster than the EVO 4G LTE.
There might be a new Nexus phone announced at Google I/O next week. iPhone 5 in the fall, and probably another round of Android superphones for the holiday season, probably once Samsung/TI/Nvidia launch an LTE baseband that will work with their SoCs.
Well the latest rumors are that Jellybean will be released next week at Google I/O. You can get the new S3 or EVO but if you plan to see Android 4.1 on it anytime soon you are probably in for disappointment. I'd get a Galaxy Nexus or wait for the next Nexus line which should have similar hardware to the latest super phones.

It's the Note :silly:
It'll be a bit bigger than the original
Cool thanks for the responses. Good discussion.
I am anxious to see the new gnex, but I'm thinking it wont have a large enough screen (even tho the specs will be good enough). Other words, I don't think it will be "better" than the S3 per se, other than getting jellybean/pure android...but never know....
Lastly, the responses to this are actually "grown up" for once - you guys were spot on. Thing is, I was expecting much worse reactions as the question could have drawn out all types of trolls.
Hopefully XDA has turned a corner recently...thanks again.
How about the new WP8 phones that are going to come out around October I think. Huge update to the software from what I have read, multiple core, multiple screen res and size support. I would be very interested to see a Nokia WP8 mobile with their 41mp camera, and Nokia maps. That would be pretty amazing. I am itching to see what comes out.

I was deciding between the EVO LTE, and S3. Ultimately, for me it came down to the better carrier. I have grown tired of Sprint's slow data, and went with the S3 on Verizon.

Unfortunately for Sprint, slow data is the only reason I'm leaving...otherwise I'd consider the EVO LTE more seriously.
Waiting for the sequel to the Rezound on Verizon, then I'm leaving Sprint. I'm assuming this will be released around Nov/Dec. It will likely be based on the One XXL, if it ever comes out.

If you like the stock Android experience, get whatever new phone comes out. Since I like modding phones with custom kernels and ROM's, I try to look out for the phones that have a lot of devs going over. Just my $0.02

In that case, wouldn't the S3 be the best choice? 10M sold so far from what I understand...
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I don't know. I'm thinking about the S3 if everything is gravy with the sprint model. I'll wait about 2 months and make sure there arent alot of issues. If not I'll prob go with the evo LTE...
been thinking about this alot, since sprint is really good in my area, and I have an upgrade in 2 months...

I have a feeling now that google has their hands on motorola, that they will eventually have a pretty sweet release....more then likely a Nexus. I have a feeling that it'll not be locked down the way it has in the past. Google knows what Android junkies want, and they'd be kinda stupid to not use motorola ideally the way they should. Hopefully it makes it to sprint. Main reason I'm hoping for this is purely for the fact Motorola and Google are AMERICAN companies.
Look at the link in post 2, it's a fake. No XXL
