Can I mirrior my screen on my Samsung smart tv? Or does that not work with the original note
sent from a Renovated HTC ONE
Hello, I have a Galaxy Note 2. I don't find the need to upgrade to Note 3. I use the S-pen often to write notes and use the devise to read/annotate pdf. I also take photos very often and sometimes videos as well. I also use the voice recorder. I found the screen of the Note 2 a bit small. I have to change my glass and zoom in all the time. I have been waiting for the Note Pro 8" but disappointingly Samsung only announced the Tab Pro 8" without a S-pen. I suppose that in the summer or later this year, they will make the Note Pro 8" available. At that time, I will certainly buy it. Between now and then, I am considering whether or not to trade in my Note 2 for the Xperia Z Ultra. Any opinions appreciated.

Do you take a lot out photos? If yes, i would skip the Ultra to be honest.
I have note 3 and XZU and if you take a lot of pics then stay away from Xperia Z Ultra. The camera is very bad and pictures have a lot of noise in them.
I am going to do a photoshoot with the Xperia to see how bad it really is. I am an amateur photographer but I will only take the phone this time to see what I come up with because when using ISO 50 and 100 I am getting decent results unlike when I first got the phone and was shocked how horrible things were.
Thanks for all the replies.
1. Somewhere I read that there is an optional lens that could make the device one of the best in terms of photo quality. Anybody tried it? Can't find it on the local Sony website.
2. I have an extra stylus from Note 1. In terms of drawing and writing, how the Xperia Z Ultra compared with the Note 3?
3. Is there a good screen protector to avoid scratches?
4. How about the voice recording capability?
5. Is it easy to do file transfer between the device and PC especially the Mac?
6. I use ezpdf reader. Does larger screen means seeing more things at larger size?
Before the Note Pro 8" comes out, if not trading-in for the Z Ultra, what do you recommend? Too bad the iPad Air and rMini do not have a phone function.
1. That's the QX10 and QX100.
2. The S-Pen and other Wacom styluses doesn't work.
3. I would think so, but I'm not using one, so I don't know.
4. Quality wise? No idea. Not using it.
5. No tools or programs are necessary on Windows to transfer files. It's just drag and drop. There is an Android transfer tool for Mac.
6. Yes. If you want even more space, lower the screen DPI. I think you'll be fine though.
Overall, it doesn't support the S-Pen or other specialized styluses. It supports regular pens and stuff like that. The camera isn't good either, but video recording is okay.
The Ultra is mostly targeted at business people who has to handle a lot of documents (especially reading) and stuff like that, and it won't match your criterias if you like to draw and use styluses. It's a powerful tool, but I personally think you'll be happier with something that has all these stuff you're asking about integrated in a better way (like a Note).
Can I ask you what you plan on using it for? Work? Studies? Hobby?

Do you think note pro 8 gonna have phone function? as i recall, tab pro doesnt. Coz if tab pro have phone function, i might buy that one
It really comes to size I owned 6 of the note 2's nice phone but too small for me, I owned a note 3 which is a great phone to me it was much better then the note 2 but also too small - it lasted 2 days and I went back to the ultra once you use this Sony for a few days it is very hard to back to anything smaller. The note pro 8 does looking very interesting I am also looking for something bigger to replace my galaxy tab 7.7

I am a scientist. I use it mainly for work and hobby. In the past, I printed out lots of power point slides and pdf files for reading. However, I cannot carry all these with me while traveling. I am looking for a device that is excellent for annotating research papers and power points in pdf format. I like to take photos and videos. I spend about 1.5-2 hours on public transportation. Want to get some work done while waiting at the bus stop or on the bus or train. If there were a Note Pro of about 8" (with S-pen and phone capability), that would be the best. I would just trade in my phone for such device. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, Samsung decided not to release a Note Pro 8" but a Tab Pro 8". Is this a marketing strategy? Anybody has an idea when the Note Pro 8" would be out? I guess probably in the Fall. Considered to get the 12.2" Note Pro. Not sure if it is too heavy to use while waiting for the bus at the bus stop.
I tried the device in a store today. I viewed the same pdf file from both the Ultra Z and my Galaxy Note 2. Viewing the pdf from the Ultra Z was much better. The background was white and the letters were clear. Everything looked good until I tried the camera. The images were very bad compared with the same ones taken from my Galaxy Note 2. Wonder if I should buy the iPad Mini Retina Display or iPad Air. Then, trade in for the Note Pro 12.2 or Note Pro 8 later.

The camera is not too bad in good light, and is even usable if you don't use the stock camera app
I tried it in a store. It was very bright! Do you mean using other camera apps could lead to better quality photos? Which one do you recommend?
My !"/!&"!= Samsung S4 died on me yesterday. Or, at least the screen did.. Honestly I've been NOTHING but angry with the phone since I buyed it in january. 4G/LTE has never worked (only 3G), ****ty wifi-signal and now the screen that died from nothing at all.. And it kept asking me for it's SIM card.
Anywho, before I baught the ()!"/!)"?!" samsung I had a HTC Desire HD which I actually loved. Yes, it was old in the end; but with the help of custom ROMS and this forum it worked perfectly until I lost it after 4 years.
I _need_ to buy a phone that can be rooted without toooo much trouble (damn Samsung's KNOX too!) and that is well developed for in here.
I'm thinking about these models as for now and is still looking for other options
LG G3 (a tiny bit expensive still)
LG G2
HTC One M7 (M8 is way to expensive for me still, so I'm thinking about the old one)
HTC One M8 (if I by some miraculous way won alot of money... It's sooo sexy!)
Huawei Ascend P7 (not that developed for here on XDA)
Xperia Z2 (a bit expensive)
Sony Xperia Z3 Compact
Xperia Z1 (Well developed for..)
Huawei Ascend Mate7 (No custom ROMS yet and so on.. But it seems possible to root, and the UI Huawei ships it with has inbuilt themeing. I'm addicted to pretty phones. Anyone know price-tag of this? It varies SO MUCH online in Norway as far as I can see)
LG/Google Nexus 5 (only 16GB internal memory and no free slot for more.. But will I care?)
Xiaomi Mi 4 (Not that developed for... Yet? Hard to get ahold of when you need the international version?)
Sony Xperia Z Ultra (It's soooo huge, isn't it? I had a S4, and it was HUGE in my small girl-hands.)
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (Still a bit expensive, and then there's the KNOX...)
Oneplus One
Oneplus 3 was launched on June 15th and Hit the market on the same day with a great specs and whooping 6GB RAM. All the tech showcased the product on Youtube asking if this is a Flagship killer of 2016? So what do you think ?
Today C4ETech has shared a video on Youtube showing a Speed test between OnePlus 3 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge but from the video we see that the Oneplus 3 is stuck in a awkward situation where the OnePlus 3 Could not compete with the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge which comes with 4GB of RAM. The video is to open all the application both on OnePlus 3 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge together in two rounds using the timer. But what we see is that the OnePlus reloads every application which has opened in the first round But Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge was very quick and didn't even reload the heavy game like Asphalt.
In the first round Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge was very quick, it finished the test in one minute and one second, whereas the OnePlus 3 was 10 seconds slower at one minute and 11 seconds. With the second round, OnePlus 3 showed a lot of differences from the earlier round. The Galaxy S7 Edge has passed the 2nd round with 33 seconds by opening the same background apps which opened in the first round, while the Oneplus 3 took 1 minute and 10 seconds where it failed to open all the application which was in the background and it couldn't even keep a web page in Chrome.

Well like the title speaks for it self, i've checked out the dimensions of both the Pixel 3 XL and the Razer Phone (1st gen, not Razer Phone 2) and it seems like the dimensions of both phones are almost equal.
Razer Phone:
158.5 x 77.7 x 8 mm
6.24 x 3.06 x 0.31 in
Google Pixel 3 XL:
158.0 x 76.7 x 7.9 mm
6.2 x 3.0 x 0.3 in
So the actual size difference between them is that the Razer Phone is more in dimension with:
Length: 0.5mm / 0.04 in
Width: 1mm / 0.06 in
Thickness/Height : 0.1mm / 0.01 in
Im going to order one and see if its fits and working and keep this thread updated. The Gamevice for the Pixel 2, 2 XL, 3, and 3XL is available in the U.S. for $79.99 on its website and the Google Store. Amazon already carries previous models, so it's reasonable that this one will also find its way there soon. So for the moment i can't find any that can be shipped to The Netherlands (sad enough they sell the pixel series but no accessoires for the phone on their website )
i know that the shape of both the phones are not the same though its worth to give it a try ?!?!
And if its works it may be an idea to port (if possible) game genie as seen as on Asus Rog Phone with gamevice attached to remap on screen buttons to the gamevice itself.
All of this are just ideas for the moment
And sorry for my English im trying at least
Did it work?

i still don't have the gamevice yet its not available yet and they dont ship to the Netherlands and can't find it anywhere else online so im stuck with just waiting till its available..
But im also trying to figure out a way to get Sixaxis Controller app to work on the Razer Phone but it just doesn't (dont know whats wrong with the bluetooth in Oreo) but i keep it updated once i have progress on the controller & the app.
