ericdabbs Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I think it will be great for competition if HTC would make a Galaxy Note like device for 2014. LG has stepped up to the plate in 2013 with the the LG Optimus G Pro device which will compete with the Galaxy Note 2. No word yet on whether Sprint plans to carry the LG Optimus G Pro device which will begin to sell in the US in Q2 2013. If only HTC and possibly a Motorola/Google could also make a competing device that would be great for competition and customer selection given HTC's material build quality is superb over Samsung and LG's plastic phones.

shawn_kc Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I haven't heard anything, but would definitely be interested if they did. If I had to guess, i would say not this year, but maybe next year if the One is successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MReiser4670 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I was at the local Sprint store tonight checking out the Note. I have to say, I really like it. As a diehard HTC user, I would jump on an HTC-branded 'phablet'. I would buy it on launch day no hesitation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n9ovreric Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 The note 3 its said to be out September 1st this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themuffinman Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I wouldn't be surprised if HTC comes out with a "phablet" later on this year, but they better come out swinging because more than likely I will be all over that note 3 when it comes out.

As big as the Note 3 is purported to be, it might be all over you. AJ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the design of the gs4 in comparison to the gs3 I figure they would do something similar with the note 3, keeping the same relative size of the note 2 and have as slim as possible bezel. That with the rumoured use of an lcd screen will all but seal the deal for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leerage Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-plans-successor-5-inch-butterfly Maybe they are planning a slightly larger device. Spurred by strong interest in the device from Asia, Taiwan Focus reports that CMO Benjamin Ho said the manufacturer plans to launch a "successor" to the Butterfly under the same brand name "to meet consumer demand." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S4GRU Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 If it's between 5" and 5.3", I would likely get it. The Note 2 is slightly too large for my taste. Robert via Nexus 7 with Tapatalk HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds almost like a phone dating profile. Imagine the possibilities... "I am looking for a phone between 5" and 5.3." Not too light, but not too heavy. I like a few curves and a bright, smiling display. HTC Sense (of humor) and no baggage from a carrier relationship are both pluses."

digiblur Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Let's see if I can close all the loop holes but knowing AJ he will still find one to get a zinger in. I think the Note3 would be perfect at 5.8 inches. Maybe I am getting older or just spoiled but when I look at the phones with smaller screens it just seems painful to do. Kind of like switching from a 57 inch TV down to a 46 inch. (holding my ground on keeping my older HDTV in the bedroom). I have no issues using the phone and or putting it in my jeans pocket or even shorts pocket when I am at the gym.

You use the Note 2 in your pocket for appearance like some guys use a roll of quarters? AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
