Hi,
I am stuck deciding on a phone/tablet for my next purchase.
I currently have the S2 and while it has been working quite well all these years it just doesn't cut it anymore.
My main 2 reasons for wanting to upgrade is screen size (4.3") and no S-Pen.
I have been wishing to take notes using handwriting for a long time and the normal pen doesn't cut it. I hope the S-Pen is as good as people say.
Anyway, while the Note 3 is definitely the better spec'ed phone, It would be a meager upgrade in the screen size. 4.5->5.7
So here are my thought, please give me yours.
Nexus 7:
+
Pure android, more/faster updates
Cheap ~350 Euros
7" screen
Amazing value for money
-
No phone functionality - would need to carry my S2 with me.
No S-Pen
No Samsung goodies (Wifi Direct, Smart Stay/Scroll etc)
Note 8:
+
Cheapish
S-Pen
Samsung goodies
-
Specs aren't that fantastic
Reviewers think it is an average phone
Note 3:
+
Best phone right now (When it is available at least)
S-Pen
Samsung goodies and community
-
Going to be atleast twice as expensive (rumours)
Small screen size (not much bigger than my current phone)
What do you guys think?
