So two new phones above the Note II. Are they just getting too big and where does that leave the Note III?

I have one of the Chinese 5" phones and I find the size just about perfect. It seemed big at first but now I wouldn't consider buying a phone under 4.5"

6.3" is just a little too big for me though. My current phone already digs itself into my hip bone if I sit forward with it in my pocket. I can also just - just - type one-handed on it, any bigger and I'd need both hands free to text.

I like the split screen feature though.

This will be a different track to the Note, I'm nearly sure of it. The Note 3 will probably be the flagship device, these seem to be more exploratory devices rather than main stream samsung. They're both under powered compared to the present note as well, so I'm assuming the note 3 will be much more powerful.

Right, nexus 7 as a phone... Wtf?!

Some people just want the biggest thing they can fit in their pocket, and I can understand that.

Exactly some people want a mobile device that is more about multimedia than about being a neat talk and text device and as long as there's that kind of demand there'll be devices this size.

I have the S3 and find the size fine and would probably go a little bigger but the size of them two phones would be a big no for me. 3200 mAh battery would be nice though!!!
