Galaxy s3, why don't I want a note?

I love the big screen on the Galaxy s3
I saw a note the other day in love that the screen was even bigger! Are there any disadvantages to having a note versus an s3?
I love all the cool stuff my s3 will do does a note also have those same abilities?

Lastly, other than the bigger screen and possibly a more powerful processor what advantages do I have with the note over the s3?
 
The note 2 will do everything the s3 does but faster. Like you said it has a bigger screen also s pen and multi window.
I have the quad core s3 and the note 2 but much prefer the note.
At the end of the day though its up to you to decide which one you prefer.
 
The note 2 has the same CPU. They just overclocked it, so to say faster - sure, if you haven't overclocked your s3.

Also, s3 has multi window as of 4.1.2 release. It's the s pen and screen size that are the main differences
 
I guess I'm just dumb, I never realized these were what they are!
I thought they were just wanna be's.

Maybe it's because verizon never offers the good ones or at least cutting edge. ... Seems i have to suffer greatly on camera etc with Verizon offerings.

Too bad.

not usa one.
int = quad 1 gig
int lte = quad 2 gig
usa = duel 2 gig
note 2 all = quad 2 gig

note 2 to a usa person is quite faster

I own a verizon siii and note 2 and the note is faster, all around.

No idea where the OP is from but the s4 krait is a great cpu. Its not far behind the exynos quad in the s3 and note 2.

RAM doesn't mean faster. International LTE has quad and 2 GB RAM

I don't know why so many versions of 1 siii, its out of control.

you are most likely right, but my usa siii with dual core and 2 gig is slower than my note ii with quad core 2 gig of ram, I would go with a note ii (as I did) but in usa best buy online today only the siii (att, sprint, verizon) is $50 a great buy for sure and a 32 gig version is $99, tmobile is $80 and $130.

Its because of the USA really.

The rest of the world (International) have just the GT-i9300 and 9305 (LTE).

But then you get Sprint, Verizon, AT&T all demanding different hardware and not to mention the fact that the USA operate on different LTE frequencies to the rest of the world which also prevents use of the exynos quad core, unlike other LTE versions.

I'm not sure how the Note 2 has Exynos Quad and LTE though? Extra hardware?
