Samsung Galaxy Note 3!!!

So would this mean we'd get a 7" Note 4 LOL? Personally, I'd welcome a larger screen. 6.3" would be sweet. Curious to see what they have in store for the Note 4. Not eligible for upgrade until then :(
 
The rumored Galaxy Note 17 will have a 42" foldable screen. "It neatly folds up to a size of a credit card." It will also have a resolution of 6000x3500. But, in order to own one one must get MCSE certified.
 
I would love a bigger screen phone. I still think the note 2 is small even though its pretty darn big. I hope the rumor is true.
 
I'd rather have a smaller phone with the same size screen, than a bigger one or even one the same size with a bigger screen.

As it is, I can almost use it great one handed; the top half-inch or so of the display is just out of thumbs reach.
 
From MobileLeaks.org:
The Galaxy Note 3 will be available only in Marble White. A sister device without phone capabilities will be available in Titanium Gray and be sold as the Galaxy Tab Mini.

;)
 
My Dad and Best friend made me want a note 2 a bit, but... I guess at this point I might as well wait for the 3. That's a much bigger upgrade, I'd love to have.
 
I believe that they are putting out a 6.3" device, but I don't think it will be the Note 3. The Note 3 is likely going to be 5.8" with Razr M like edge to edge screen. This 6.3" phone will be a whole other line.

The first point here is the reason I think the second might have merit and the rumor might be mostly false. If the Note were to remain one hand usable to the degree the current one is you would need a different device for the bigger size.

If you add a size though I think you goto 7" or so and drop the ear speaker in favor of headset or speakerphone use only to save on overall size and pocketability. 6.3" will be too big for one handed use and a bit silly looking up next to the noggin also, but not really into a size realm that really starts to change current pocket options the current Note's fit. I think you may as well goto 7" near bezelless if this pocket size thing is the biggest driver.

I know a lot of people like to call the Note 2 a "phablet", it's really a big phone. I hold it to my ear to make calls and after a while, it doesn't even feel that big. I use it with one hand 80% of the time. And it's still too small to do some of the things I like to do on my tablet comfortably, like read comic books or use remote desktop.

A 6.3" device, OTOH, would be a tablet that can make calls. It's simply not a phone any more.
 
Once you approach that size it is not only pocketability that becomes impractical, but even belt holsters would be too gangly to work. If it can't be easily stuck in a pocket or worn on a belt, it becomes useless to me and many others.

If I want a huge device that I need a breifcase or backpack to hoist around...I'll get a full sized device. This rumored form factor holds no interest to me.
 
Hmm I guess if you need a bigger screen then the Note II they could add a projector to the phone so you can throw an image up on the wall or any flat white object.

YES!!!!! bigger is better
Then You'll LOVE this!
a 6.3" thing that won't be comfortable in a pocket or on a belt will be just as attractive as this ol' bag phone

If Samsung can make the screen 6" while keep the same case dimensions of the Note 2 then great. Otherthan that, I may as well just walk around with a tablet. This is coming from someone that made the jump to the note 2 primarily for its screen size.
