Any news from 02 on the Galaxy Note 3

[Anonymous]

are we expecting an announcement for this phone any time shortly as its out at the end of the month?

Ditto, got mine yesterday and it's a superb piece of hardware for sure.  Taking a bit of getting used to given the size jump from my S2.  Menu/settings slightly different too and things not always in the same place as 4.1.2, but in time......

Anyone upgraded from a Note 2 care to do a comparison?

I have looked all over the o2 site and can't find the full specs for this phone as supplied by o2.  Does anyone have a link to the specs for the o2 version of this phone? (there are several versions available apparently, different processors etc).

thanks

Hi,

This should help...

The main variant is the CPU.  I believe the LTE version for pretty much the most of Europe has the quad-core chip.  There's an octa chip for those smaller markets

How are you finding it? I've been considering the Sony Xperia Z1 or Z Ultra but just noticed this was now also available.

Hi,

Certainly worth looking at the reviews which are starting to pop up online.  Here's an interesting one which compares the Z1 and GN3...

As for me, I was hit instantly by the wow factor and think it's brilliant -- just as well given I took a gamble based on not wanting anything larger than my old S2 for a phone but fancied having a go with a phablet.  To add a degree of perspective though, apart from setting up the device and loading my data and apps I've not yet really had a chance to use it and am still exploring.

Apart from being big in the hand it is possible to use it with one hand, although my thumb could do with growing that extra inch.  Otherwise two hands and no problems.  The S-pen comes into its own when I'm trying to bottle feed by daughter and rest the device on my thigh.  Performance wise it's very, very fast when compared to my S2's 1.2GHz dual core.  Screen is beautiful and an utter joy to look at.  Although my Tele-box is also Samsung I don't think the wife likes the fact I can also control our Humax digibox using the GN3

So, this isn't a particularly subjective response but I doubt you'd be disappointed if you got one!
