All current Galaxy S phones are pretty much the same in terms of hardware, give or take a front facing camera or led flash. So given that Samsung has just unveiled the Infuse 4G (labeled a Galaxy S phone), and has also announced it will still unveil new phones at WMC 2011 (including dual core phones), it sounds like Samsung intends on having different levels of Galaxy S phones this time around. I'm thinking the infuse is going to be considered their entry level Galaxy S phone, hence it's early introduction at CES 2011, and the upper end Galaxy S phones (dual-core) will be the ones to be announced at WMC 2011. Given how Samsung has come out with some seriously beautiful designs in other devices (Series 9 laptop, TV line up, heck even their appliances) I'm hoping for something really exciting at WMC 2011.
Hello all,
I'm due an upgrade in June and have my eye set on the Galaxy Note or the Galaxy S3. The one thing that compels me is the size of the screen on the Note, so I'm probably more inclined to the get the Note.
The only thing is, I don't want to buy the note and have the note 2 come out 2 months later, lol.
Maybe you guys can help me out here.

If you like to read and browse on a big screen then the note or the next iteration of the note is the solution. No contest there, anything less than 5 inch to me belongs to more of a phone. I am using the 4.7 inch HTC one x and the note, the 0.6 inch difference is missed when using the x. there are some occasion I wish a carry a smaller phone but on most occasion I am happy to fit the biggest size phone. The Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 on some occasion is perfect, yet the 5.3 for all occasion is perfect. Note 2 (700$~800$)won't be out international till November ish since that is when the original note got released. Buy note when possible keep it in good shape, resell and buy note 2. Dual core in euro note and lte note is adequate for most. So buy now and love life.

I agree - best phone on the market hands down... It's blazing fast, and there's really no need for quad core for any current use of a smartphone apart from tegra games, which you can run through chainfire. There has been no word of a note 2

get the note if you need/want the s-pen features.
Get the S3 is that's what it is, or get the Galaxy Nexus for ICS and JB
Don't wait for the Note 2 it wont be out till next year at the earliest.
There isn't any official information about the Note 2 yet, so you should go for either the Note or the upcoming S3.
Get the note, Samsung didnt realise how popular the note would be as such they never rolled it out quickly accross all the regions instead taking a staggered approach. The chances of a note 2 this year would be slim so enjoy what we have now
I think you should get the note if you love big screens like most of us here or get the S3 if you want more power and probably better spec which I am sure is going to be more expensive as well. But remember that there is always a better phone around the corner.
you should wait for the note 2
in the mean time use a string telephone
There is no announcement about the Note 2. Go buy the Note 1 now and skip a generation for the Note 3 and that way you'll always feel a significant upgrade.

What a pointless question! Should I get an existing only just released phone or wait for a fabled unicorn? Only you can answer that buddy. Personally, I'd go for a phone that is on the market (and amazing, by the way) rather than wait it out for the next generation which could still be years away!
S3 or Note - again only one of them is actually for sale (or has any firm specs) so you can't really make that decision either. If your contract is up in June, wait until then and see what is actually available at the time!
Pretty much everyone who has a Note will tell you how happy they are with it though. (Apart maybe the spoiled children who aren't happy we are having to wait for ICS )
Just get the Note. You could wait for Note 2, then for Note 3 etc. And the fact is that Note 1 is already amazing.
what about 3
You should wait for the note 3.... I dont understand people... You can also wait for the 4 i have heard it should be better...
Bought the Note now, it won't hurt you.
In matter of fact I do think this is one of my smartest decision i made. Definitely useable for work, for fun or just take a simple sketch
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
Whatever you buy and whenever you buy it, there's a always new model just around the corner, so there's no perfect time to buy. I can say that the Note is by far the best phone I've had - better than the S2 I had.

Is that like ICS for Note was planned for Q1 2012?!
Hi All:
If they deal with me as fear as they deal with Galaxy S6 / 6 Edge owners I wouldn't complain and I will wait patiently for the update to come, where Galaxy S6 / 6 Edge are getting nearly weekly updates and issue fix and nothing for other smartphones.
the problem for the Note 4 updates that they have to wait double time to make it compatible with the Gear VR !!!!!!
So Samsung think it is not a problem to let the majority of the Note 4 owners angry with Software full of bugs, to satisfy the few Gear VR kids.
I believe that we should push Samsung to change that miserable update policy and not to link Note 4 updates to Gear VR or anything else.
Samsung should deal with smartphones updates in equal way, they should understand that if I bought a Samsung device that will not be the end of the story and they can put me on hold as much as they wish.
Samsung should hear the voice of the people, and they should know the number of unsatisfied owners of Samsung smartphones (Note 4, Note 3 & Galaxy S5.....ect.
I think the way to go is by using social media , twitter & Facebook pages in different languages, to let Samsung & the future customers for Samsung to know that we are facing issues with Samsung software update policy, where they ignore their smartphone software after short time

Samsung doesn't really care about their customers...besides there aren't many people like us on XDA where we wait for the latest and greatest update.I wish they changed over these past years but they didn't.
Posting on social media won't make one single bit of difference they will not update the phone any quicker than they do now, one of the main reasons it takes longer to update the Note 4 is because there is alot more stuff within Touchwiz on the Note series than there is on the S series this takes longer to test and debug before they release it to the public unfortunately.
The S6 is brand new and with it being brand new it came with alot of critical bugs that need to be fixed asap, hence why your seeing more updates for the S6.
The Note 4 will get the updates it still a flagship you just have to be patient, if your not happy with Lollipop then switch back to Kitkat which was alot more stable and bug free than Lollipop currently is until the time comes they release 5.1 or 5.1.1.
"Our insider provided with a the list of the Confirmed devices that are planned to get official Samsung Android 6.0 Marshmallow updates so far... more devices will be added to list as soon as we get more info.

So we'll get it in 2017 most likely.
Id say more like 2020
Check sammobile last firmware for n910c was 01 of August and for n910f some day in July.
So guess when
Haha so ironic. Maybe we will got it nearly 2020.
I'd say 2220. And it'll be buggy and kill our batteries.

M? what about 5.1.1? Samsung, I hate you.
M will come in the beginning of 2016 in a version so bad that it will make your phone useless to celebrate the release of the S7.
Yes I'm a seer lol.
When?We wait Lollipop 5.1.1 and who know when we get,so M come but we dont be live or our note 4.
Android Lollipop was also confirmed to the note 2. xD
What I find very instructive is that GS5 isn't in the list. It will not even have 18 months of updates.
IMHO, if Samsung don't want us to buy their devices, they can just tell us. It's far more simple that showing us at every occasion that they don't care about their customers.
Android 6.0? I'm still waiting for damn 5.1.1.
I think Samasung talk some sh ite
Its gonna be a while before Huwaeis Nexus 6 or Note 6 (hopefully with microsd and IR, replacable battery comes out). So Note 4 with Android M would be sweet. Hopefully it will release by new year!

I'll believe it when I see it. Samsung can't even clean up their act when it comes to Lollipop.
I think it's going to be in 2020 when note 10 comes out

910F. Int version
Incredible to me how much time and emotion is spent feeding the rumor mill.
Keep dreaming, this is freaking unbelievable QUALCOMM's Note 4 already in 5.1.1 and Exynos which is the international Unlocked, nothing, Note 4 will never see android M other than ported rom, or CM
How it possible that Android M it's only coming to this devices
-Samsung Galaxy Note 5
- Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+
- Samsung Galaxy S6
- Samsung Galaxy S6 Duos
- Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
- Samsung Galaxy Note 4
- Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Duos
- Samsung Galaxy Note Edge
- Samsung Galaxy ALPHA
- Samsung Galaxy Tab A
And our tablet that was announced on June 2014 isn't gonna get the M
Like WTF Samsung 1 year tablet and no more updates
Seems unlikely to be correct

That list is wrong or incomplete the Tab S2 is not even on it.
John.
Don't know where you got that list from, but it's far from correct.
Note 5 Duos, S6 Active, S5, Tab S and S2 and more should be listed.
And I'm wishing for Note 3, but unfortunately it's very unlikely.
I found the same list here.
http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entr...-get-Android-M-Updates-by-the-End-of-the-Year
John.
This is not an official list from Samsung, at this point Samsung doesn't even know when Android M final sources will be ready, not to mention it will take ages to integrate touchwiz and all its features.
One example is Samsung former flagship Note 4, which is still on a very buggy 5.0.1. (10 months after Google release date).
Looking at Samsung firmware release history, you may end up getting Android M by July 2016 (if you're lucky!).
I never trust anything out of Yourmobile. Where do they get their info? Sammobile is a better news source.
I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung doesn't update the Tab S to Marshmallow. The Galaxy Tab Pro (predecessor to the Tab S) came out in 2014 with KitKat 4.4 and later updated to 4.4.2. Lollipop was never released for it. I had a Tab Pro 8.4, which I install CM12 to get Lollipop.
I think: 40% will update, 100% not. But we have cm, fortunately...
Yep we will hopefully get a cm port

they did it last time to the predecessor Galaxy Tab 7.7. It was one hell of a device but being abandon big time by Samsung. They likely doing the same **** again. Its Samsung.
Where is the stupid Tab S2
The german AndroidPit.de wrote, Samsung has confirmed this list. [emoji17]
For Samsung smartphone is their first priority, as for tablet, it a one off, may be 1-2 update a year, then it's a new tablet on the market, and the others get obsolete and thrown to one side.
Those list are for initial devices. The galaxy s4 received lollipop before the note 4 and it wasn't on the so called list. So please stop arguing about something only Samsung will know. Also even if we don't get android 6.0, there will be other methods available as with all android devices.
How about 5.1 at least? Seems this device is neglected by Samsung. I'm having a slight buyers remorse for my Tab S 10.5. Slight...
Perhaps they'll be adding more devices as they start to roll out M updates. But if it happen that this tablet didn't make the cut, then I'm done with Samsung.
Slow down... I would be amazed if Samsung didn't update this tablet.
They still out there updating old ass phones S4, N2... Now they might not get M, but they need to upgrade anyways.
Samsung definably has their own timing when it comes to updating their gauntlet of tablets. In fact, when you look at their lineup of U.S. models, you can see their update history for their entire line of U.S. tablets are the same. With the exception of newly released tablets in the last three months, all of their other tablets still being sold are just on 5.0.2.
