I own the note 1 and have issues carrying it in my pockets. I lift weights and stay active with bicycling/basketball so I have big legs. I have a 30/31 waist but I buy baggy 32/34 and still have problems. Most won't have this issue though.
Was going to pre-order but then I realized I'll just wait until it's in stores.
Well, if you intend on buying it immediately anyway then why not preorder? You're at least guaranteed a phone then. Not that I expect a shortage, but why take the chance?
Thanks to a new Qualcomm chip, buyers of the Galaxy Note 3 will be able to keep the 4G pedal to the metal without sacrificing endurance. The reduced power draw should also allow the Galaxy Note 3 to run much cooler than comparable devices.
This new chip is called an envelope tracker, and Qualcomm says that it reduces the amount of power the Galaxy Note 3 uses to maintain an LTE connection by 30%. LTE requires a high-powered amplifier to keep its signal clean enough to use. The mobile signal waveform oscillates, though, and current devices output a wide, linear envelope that can catch its highest peaks. Qualcomm’s tracker matches up the envelope with the LTE waveform — so the radio draws less power when the peaks are smaller.
Did they release the ship day on Verizon?
read somewhere from someone that read somewhere verizon ships on 10/10...
AT&T's system is saying 9/11-9/13 ship date
I belive at&t announced an October 1 shipping date.
5'8" Asian guy here wearing tailored suit pants or jeans. It took a couple days to get used to the feel of it in your pocket but I don't even notice it now.
As for hoping for iPad like battery life, let's be realistic. The note 2 already gets some of the best battery life for a phone. The Note 3 is better but likely not substantially so. Unless you have this complaint about every phone (and criticize the Z Ultra and OPG harshly) its a bit unfair. The good thing is there will be extended batteries of all sizes from slightly larger to much larger that all come with back covers.
I have not been able to find this out- Can you use the s-pen on the capacitive buttons like on the Note 8?

That's why this conversation thread about "all day" battery life started: I was saying that they should have made it slightly thicker than the Note II so that the components could be spread out under a much larger (area) but thinner battery, like an iPad. Instead, everything that's not the display is crammed around the battery which must then occupy a smaller area on the back.
I bought one of those recharger gadgets but it isnt a real solution, more like a band-aid on a bigger problem.
I think it's interesting that only the Note II used Roman numerals. I made this thread title assuming that this product line would continue using them just like the Galaxy S line has always used standard numerals.
Same question.For AT&T users, any idea where the best place to buy it off contract will be?
- Tmobile phone and have it unlocked?
- When do retailers like Amazon get the newest phones?
- Or just get it straight from AT&T?
Are you just making all that up or did you mistype? The galaxy s II and III both used Roman numerals, and the s4 is the only one that hasn't in that line.
