My daughter just informed me that she no longer needs to use my Note 2 that I lent her, so I get it back. I pre-ordered the Note 3 to be delivered this week for me. I LOVED my Note 2 and I know I'll LOVE the Note 3. I can't decide whether to resume using my GN2 and saving my upgrade for later on.
Those who have traded in the GN2 for GN3, can you tell a big enough difference in the two? Is it worth it?????
Thanks in advance!!

I sold my N2 two weeks ago for the N3 and could not be happier. The differences are small, but enough. Here are my main reasons

- IR blaster, now my phone controls all of my TVs, Blueray players, cable boxes, DVD players and such in one device
- Better camera and much better camera app, 4K video, 60fps 1080p recording, better filters and related...
- Better S-pen feel when writing (it now feels like writing on paper and not a glass screen)
-New S-pen functions and pop-up menu (they are flat out cool). I do websites and being able to have the phone smart cut out what I need to edit helps. Plus three scrapbook is just slick
- You can use the screen with thick gloves. If you increase the sensitivity, it works with gloves. I ride a motorcycle and wear leather gloves. Ity is nice to finally be able to use the phone without taking my gloves off
- Group play video sharing is amazing
- The UI is better (but that can always be changed on any phone)
- 32GB internal memory
- overall better specs and screen resolution

There is more but these things really made me switch. Oh and don't forget the "Hey is that the new Note phone" you get in public.

As far as downsides, none so far

Another big plus for the GNote 3 over the 2 is the screen. Brightness is much better even in direct sun (the biggest and perhaps only complaint I ever had about the GNote 2). Clearer and crisper - as expected from the bump in resolution.

I have had the GNote 3 since Wednesday afternoon and my first impression was it wasn't a big jump. I've since changed my mind and very happy I took the upgrade.

I couldn't agree with you more the GNote 2 is an awesome phone. Does everything well. The GNote 3 does it better. Feel better. Looks better. Responds quicker. The Spen has more features some of which I really like, including to use the pen on the capicitive buttons.

Battery isnt that much better but the phone charges a lot quicker.

Thanks everyone! I just decided to go with the GN3 then! It helps hearing from others who have had both!

Switched from the note 2 >S4>Note 3 and I couldn't be happier. It's the perfect blend of note 2 and S4

I never tried the S4. I went from Note 2 to Blackberry Q10 (nightmare) to Note 3 this week. If y'all hear of earth tremors in the south this week, it's just me when the FedEx guy gets here. OR when the Government shutdown ends. Either one!!!

I have a bluetyooth laser keyboard that worked with my note 1 before it updated to ics. It is more a wow factor than anytning. Since then it has failed to connect to any of my devices. Just for s&g I just deciided to try again AND IT WORKED! I just added another reason the N3 is soooooo awsome!

Here is a video of it working with my No but it is the same for the N3
