PhoneArena needs to stop making articles about this phone because we dont know if these images are REAL or not. Lets wait until The end of the month to see the REAL thing. im as anxious as the next 3+ million people, but we'll see what it looks like and when it'll hit the US

They get ad revenue when they post these articles and people click on them. They won't stop.

Rumors get all of us excited, rather it looks close to real deal or not. We want to get the first news!

What isn't?

19. remixfa posted on 17 Aug 2012, 15:41 6 4

5. zhypher_23 posted on 17 Aug 2012, 12:13 4 2

Can't wait to buy this thing! :))

6. Yeahman posted on 17 Aug 2012, 12:17 6

You got fooled, PA. The guy on twitter even says that this is a mockup.

7. jinwons posted on 17 Aug 2012, 12:20 5

yeah. other sites already reporting this is fake.

12. McJobs posted on 17 Aug 2012, 12:43 4 3

controlled "leaks" from Samsung, they want to create hype

8. khmer posted on 17 Aug 2012, 12:23 8 1

Giant smartphone is coming soon, please take Note.

9. Sprintfan posted on 17 Aug 2012, 12:24 2

I can't imagine the real thing would look or be much different.

10. pkiran1996 posted on 17 Aug 2012, 12:33 6 3

The back looks ugly

23. MISTER.H (banned) posted on 17 Aug 2012, 16:52 7

it does look ugly, like the back of S3.

11. remixfa posted on 17 Aug 2012, 12:34 2 1

technically it looks to be nearly Identical to that fake "photo" that was put up earlier. They are probably related.

They even have the exact same "shading" for the bezel lines. My guess.. same artist, same base photo, different backgrounds.

13. rla2680 posted on 17 Aug 2012, 12:47 8

i dont get the fascination with these things. I much prefer my S3. This thing is too big for a phone and too small for a tablet.

16. McLTE posted on 17 Aug 2012, 14:45 8

Hence the concept of CHOICE.. I don't get why you'd want the S3 when this beast is lurking around the corner! :P

The S3 works for you.. the Note will work beautifully for ME. See.. we can co-exist under such circumstances!

30. roscuthiii posted on 17 Aug 2012, 18:05 2

Yeah, I thought the same things about the big display devices myself... but then a friend of mine overseas got the precursor to the the first Galaxy Note, the Galaxy Player, before I'd ever even heard about it over here in the US and even being diminutive of size did nothing but rave about it.
I tried out the Note when it released here in-store and I have to admit, it swung my vote.

14. JeffreyMDoran posted on 17 Aug 2012, 12:50 5 2

All I really want to know is, is this thing coming to Sprint

15. doejon posted on 17 Aug 2012, 12:53 3 2

only in white??? i would like it in deepblack

20. gallitolimitededition (banned) posted on 17 Aug 2012, 15:45 2

well I want it in Verizon, Quad-Core Exynos and LTE...

21. Berzerk000 posted on 17 Aug 2012, 15:59 2

The quad Exynos isn't compatible with US LTE.

22. gallitolimitededition (banned) posted on 17 Aug 2012, 16:27

I know just daydreaming I guess..

33. TROLL posted on 17 Aug 2012, 18:52

Is the Gallitoking....?

27. TROLL posted on 17 Aug 2012, 17:48 2

Do u prefer Quad-core or LTE.... ?

29. Berzerk000 posted on 17 Aug 2012, 18:00 2

Well considering I don't have LTE in my area, and probably won't for a while, I'd take the quad-core Exynos with HSPA+ over the S4 with LTE. More power and better battery life, who can complain?

32. TROLL posted on 17 Aug 2012, 18:51 1

I have the international version, and Exynos is better than S4!

35. Berzerk000 posted on 17 Aug 2012, 20:06

Agreed

25. khmer posted on 17 Aug 2012, 17:28 2

Samsung spent $822 millions on new R&D headquarter, we will see better products in next few years. This year Samsung spent $20 billions on building new plants.

26. TROLL posted on 17 Aug 2012, 17:46 1

Wishing and my blessings are upon, good luck!
For it was for Samsung and HTC that pushed the boundaries on
high specs. And SONY for designs! & Apple for feel and touch of the phone. NOKIA what can say......

28. Peter98 posted on 17 Aug 2012, 17:52 4

They have no problem with spec. Just the design...

31. TROLL posted on 17 Aug 2012, 18:46 1

I totally agree, if only they started to use materials like HTC does,

34. 1ceTr0n posted on 17 Aug 2012, 19:24

As a person who left Verizon after being a long time customer just to get a Note and jumping on to AT&T for one, bring on Note 2, cause i'll pay the price if samsung does it right! I can't go back to less then 5'' screens now, its just too "inconvienent"

Haters for whatever reasons can enjoy their narrow minded lifestyles with their 4'' screens, the rest of us have moved onto something greater and bigger then you can imagine.

As for the whiners about "not being able to pocket a Note" Maybe if you didn't wear tight ass emo jeans and or butt tight spandex outfits, you could actually pocket a Note but you have other issues beyond that for wearing that type of clothing anyway....

i rather keep my current phone and buy nexus 7 and 7inch screen is way better than 5inch

36. richardyarrell2011 (banned) posted on 17 Aug 2012, 22:07

Whenever it shows up i will be purchasing this device on day one when it lands on Tmobile.

37. Samsomesh posted on 17 Aug 2012, 22:31

@Phonearena i heard that Dual SIM Samsung Galaxy SDuos GT-S7562L hits the FCC!!!.

38. Gaurav008 posted on 17 Aug 2012, 22:53

PA trolled...:D

40. kpfirefighter posted on 18 Aug 2012, 08:00

it looks like a nice phone! but lets not get our hopes up about the specs.
we dont know what the U.S version will be packing. i love my siii but the
quad core exynos would have been nice. i had the original note and
loved that too. at&t jusy sucks where im at.

41. McSteezy posted on 18 Aug 2012, 08:27

All this needs for me is a huge battery. Bigger than the Razr Maxx. My upgrade was a week ago and I waited for this for the new iPhone. Better be worth it. And it does look ugly.

43. InspectorGadget80 posted on 19 Aug 2012, 10:31

damn it. i'll just wait till IFA starts. i don't look at any picture that's NOT LEGIT
