Advice wanted for top of the range phone

2013 · 14-01-2013, 18:03

Bored of I Phone 5 and looking to sell, but I would like the most top of the range newest phone maybe a Samsung?

Can somebody please recommend?

Will be using it for everything really, email, web, txt, camera, apps..

The galaxy S3 is a famtastic phone, there's also the Nexus 4 but that get mixed reviews. Maybe try a phablets like the Note 2?

I really hope everyone decides enough is enough an users give advice. Ignoring the obvious attempt to cause trouble on this board.

I've reported this for second account investigation. Which if true will get all your accounts banned.

Has to be Galaxy Note 2 if you can deal with the size, if not Galaxy S3 is a great choice! I own both and they are both great, Galaxy Note 2 is slightly better but not everyone can handle a phone that big!

2013 · 14-01-2013, 18:08

Is the Galaxy 3 a new model when was it released?

How big is the Galaxy Note 2 compared with the I Phone 5

swordman · 14-01-2013, 18:36

I would say best all round s3

Best value if you can get it n4

Best phone note 2

And yeh, what everyone else has said.

I would wait for the rumoured S4 if you can wait.

I changed my iPhone4 in Nov for an S3, because i couldn't wait to get rid of it.

A Nexus 4 is another as mentioned above, and the Note (which is bigger so you should see if its too big for you as a phone).

You would do best to get to a phone shop and play with them first hand. I have an S3 and when i pickup my wifes iPhone5 hers seem absolutely tiny, like looking at an old nokia screen.

There's always something on the horizon. When the s4 comes out there will be something else worth waiting for.

If there was a release date maybe. But it could be November.

The S4 will be here around April - May.

I know i'm speculating and there is always something around the corner. Last year i just couldn't wait any longer, so took the jump.

You have had like 3 months use out of it, or whatever, it's not all bad.

Oh i dont mean to sound like i've regretted my upgrade. I knew what i was doing when i got it.

Its actually the Nexus 4 i would of been holding out for rather than the S4.

I don't get it, what's he done wrong??

John_Patrick · 14-01-2013, 19:54

As already said, try a few phone shops in a shopping center. All the shops tend to have a few demo phones out to play with.

I have the Note 2, my Mrs has the Galaxy S3. Both are brilliant phones.

My wife has been an iPhone fan for years now and ive been trying to convert her to Andriod for about 2 years now. Shes finally given in and now says the S3 is a far better phone than the iP 4s she sold and wishes she had swapped earlier.

Not as many accessories for anything that isnt an iPhone (especially in high street shops) but still plenty on ebay/Amazon etc.

Decide if having a removable battery and mSD card is important to you. The Nexus 4 and a lot of HTC's (like the iPhones) have neither. Battery on an S3 is better than an iPhone but not hugely but at least if its critical you can swap batteries in less than a couple of minutes.

I guarantee you it won't be.

Samsung release two Android flagships a year, one somewhere in the March-May period and another around October/November.
That combined with the age of the S3 and the leap forward in the specs offered by other Android OEMs guarantees that a new Samsung flagship will be released in the near future.

Whether it'll be called the S4 is a separate question but it's likely it will be.

You guarantee it? Guarantee?

There couldn't be supply chain problems? Delays? They might not just decide to do something different?

May is still 4 months away.

There's not going to be 6+ months of delays.
And why would Samsung change a winning formula?

And November is 10 months away, an absolute age in the mobile industry.
There's no way the world's number one mobile phone manufacturer would wait that long before launching their next top-of-the-range model.
