S3 or original NOTE ?

I own a galaxy note N7000 - 11 months old ...
My friend knows some person in a mobile shop and he says that if i give my Note + 5000 Rs he could get me a New unboxed S3 indian version ..

I am seriously freakinn out .. whether to say OK or not

I however have the below problems with my Galaxy note ..

- short battery life even with custom kernels ( get avg 8hrs moderate use)
- Bigger screen (pocket)

Does S3 have a better battery than Note ( i know capacity wise NOTE's battery is bigger ) But what about the real usage wise ??

Does S3 have some drawbacks ??
has someone used it .. who can give me a feedback

I have checked the internet over S3 vs NOTE -- However i am under some dilemma :-(

Note : I know S3 has better performing hardware.But when i tested my friend's S3 with ma note --- It didn't show that difference
he was on STOCK (S3) and i was on custom ROM (rocket Rom v12 ICS note)
Note had some 0.3 sec home button lag VS S3 a 1 sec lag running stock
Both have same num of apps Apprx ..

None ?

Stick with note

Chuck out all of 'em.Get an HTC One X+ by putting in a wee bit more.

About the Home button issue, the S3 has Home Button Lag because the phone actually waits for the second press in case the user wants to use S Voice.
Just go to S Voice on your friend's S3 then press the Option key>Settings and uncheck Open via Home Key. Then compare the home button lag.

Thank you people for ur reply
But The S3 has better battery endurance than note ??
Can i expect a reasonable better battery life than the original galaxy note ??

Also is this upgrade worth ?? From original note to the s3 ?

I don't really know about the Note 's battery life but the S3 will last you about a couple of days for moderate to heavy usgage.
If you can wait for a few months then you may wsnt to wait for the S4 will be announced in April or May.

As of now IMHO the S3 is a much better device than the Note and you can consider it. But try to convince the shop keeper for a Sealed Unit rather than an Unboxed One..

I will say keep the Note with you,save some money and pick up a Galaxy SIV whenever it comes out :wink:

@OP, bro, wait and save money and look for 1080p screen phone such as Xperia Z or Droid DNA..
