SGS3 vs Note 2

[champaned_out]

having owned both the S3 and Note 2.. id say the Note 2 destroys the S3 if your gonna compare them directly.... on my S3 with heavy usage throughout the day i can expect it to die before i get home.. so around maybe 11-12hrs before the battery goes dead under heavy usage

however on the note 2... there isnt enough hours in a day for me to even run this battery down to 1% if i tried... on average when i get home my phone's been off the charger for around 13-15hrs and still around 50-60% battery life and thats with moderate to heavy usage

 

[NOVICE]

Have owned Galaxy Nexus (8 months), S3 (5 months), and Note2 (4 months).

Battery wise the Nexus was useless--and in most other ways not a superior device. Bought 3 batteries and rotated them throughout the day.

S3 was outstanding but I still used 2 batteries a day but that's with 4 to 6 hours on the Internet straight.

Note 2 is a monster and seldom have to change out the battery during the day with pretty much constant use. And importantly, battery charges up in 1 hour.

Had a great many phones and Note 2 is in class by itself. Still learning new capabilities I was unaware. First time I haven't hungered for a newer, better phone after a month or two.

Im just waiting for it to come in. Ill re calibrate a few cycles see if it helps. my poor nexus. I wanted it to be good so bad. DAMN YOU GOOGLE!!! but then for the price I guess its actually pretty good. What other phone comes @ the $350 mark and isnt some cheap wannabe crap knockoff?
