So Plain and Simple what Would you Like to See in the Note 3 That's in not in any phone now or that was not in the Note 3?

I have the Galaxy S4 now and I know that from what this phone has, there gonna add some feature to the Note 3 like the IR Blaster and Motion Features.
Also things like a Better screen Resolution and Maybe a better battery. now we all know that they're gonna up the specs but is there anything that you think they can add that would make this the best of 2013?

Also what do you think 5.99 Inch Screen or 6.3?

Rumored Leaked Photos of the Galaxy Note 3!

Good question. I do like the idea of the screen growing just a little bit more.. perhaps 6 ("5.99").

Not much else.. it's the best Android device I've ever had.

That might fatten the device a bit. ;)

I love the thinness of this thing, reminds me of my beloved Fascinate a bit. Just bigger and better.

Thin is nice, but being able to use it all day without battery issues would be better. If I have a vote, I would say give it the Razr Maxx treatment. But then, Samsung seems to be a big believer in "Just in time" battery life, so I don't see it happening.

They already gave Razr Maxx treatment to Note 2 battery. It's 3100mah and removable. I'm sure they will bump up the battery capacity a bit in Note 3.

As someone dying to leave the iphone for a couple years now after using it for 5 years, i have tried every major Android phone out over the last two years. The only one that really impressed me was the Note 2. I am waiting for the Note 3 or possibly the HTC Butterfly S if it comes to Verizon in one form or another(DNA 2 or whatever)

But anyway..The Note 3 needs for me to stick with it..

1. A brighter screen than the S4(I would say the Note 2, but the S4 sets the AMOLED brightness bar now) Still, the S4's screen is not nearly as bright as the Iphone or HTC IPS displays, but they are catching up. Hopefully the Samsungs next gen screen are even brigther.

2. Camera - the Note 2's camera was pretty crappy IMO. I had the S3 and the iphone 5 with me along with the Note 2 and it was by far the worst of the

3. Battery life of course, but whatever, fix the first two things and im in :D

I like all the ideas above, but for me I would really like to see at least 32GB of internal memory. No more 16GB devices from Samsung. This makes no sense to me to have such a big screen and you can't even take advantage of it with such low internal memory. Hopefully they learned their lesson from the S4.

Its finally been two years since my last phone (Galaxy Nexus) and its time to do this all over again!!

I was thinking the other day how awesome it would be if these larger phones worked with other protocols like Zwave and the others. Everyone, even at home has their cell in their pocket so what better controller for your TV (IR blaster like the S4), your home heater, AC/heater, and what ever else you have on your wifi / z wave network. I really think companies should start focusing on phones allowing us to control more stuff at home and in our lives. I tried my wife's new s4 with the WatchOn app and it has too many issues to use unfortunately.

On a side note as a previous car mechanic, would be awesome to be able to hook my phone up to the OBD2 port of a car and pull the check engine codes and diagnose issues.

Of course, the most important feature is to actually work as a phone but since these phablets are getting bigger, hope there is some room in there to toss in some goodies.

My brother was just showing me his set up the other day on the fly. We were driving back from a major league ball game and his car threw a check engine code. He plugged in a small Bluetooth enabled adapter into the OBDII port on the car and then turned on his phone started up Bluetooth and GPS then the application Torque Pro.
It was giving an on the fly readout of alot of "live" information without a wired connection. It has an area for diagnostics and code reading. He was able to read the code and clear it all while driving (not recommended to clear codes while moving as it can turn off the engine or reset all your important in dash displays). It was cool to see all of this take place in a matter of like 5 mins.
It was just an o2 sensor that has been repeatedly giving him fits.

It made me really want to get one of the Bluetooth enabled adapters. Turns out they are pretty affordable too - as low as like $15. (they don't work in all vehicles)

This fellow designed and built his own circuit board assembly. The adapter turned out really small and minimalist. He shows a little bit of a rundown within Torque as well.

This is the first time I have ever used this say, "throws money at screen!"

I had a Cobb tuning access port OBDII reader and it was awesome for mods and stuff, but it was costly. This is an awesome product as caring around a MODIS or any real scanner is a pain in the ass. They are big, heavy, and just not that intuitive (unless they have made newer ones as I worked on cars years ago). I will have to look into this, thanks for the link and info!
