Hello all
I am planning to sell my N7000 and get Mega 5.8 Dual Sim. No problem with mu Note but would like to have the option of Dual Sim hence planning this.
What are the views of users of 5.8 Mega? Is it good and how is the performance compared to Note? I know the screen is a drawback with the LCD as compared to sAmoled to Note but is the difference really enough to put you off?
Any inputs regarding this will be really appreciated and I need to decide in the next 24 hour or so.
Read this forum but all the topics are generally considering the 6.3 and not 5.8 and hence I decided to make this topic.
Thanks in advance

Nope mate its single sim.
I need dual sim phone but no good phone available. Mega 5.8 looks good hence I am considering it but want opinion with those having hands on experience.
From what I read but for the screen everything is better or at par but havent experienced that hence asking.
Thanks

For a dual SIM phone, I don't think you can find anything better than the Mega 5.8 at the moment.

Note 2 dual sim is too expensive.
I am thinking of buying Mega 5.8 because of a dual sim functionalitybut what stops me now is:
- no root
- no custom roms and developers interest in this device
- I still need more proves that call recording works
It all may be caused by actually the lack of this device in Europe. On UK's ebay all the devices on sale come from Hong kong or China......
Lets see if it changes next month.
6.3 - it is too big, I like big phones (I own Note 1 and 2 and will never go for something below 5.5) but 6.3 is a bit too much for me

It's the same reaction to the original Note e.g. it is too big, I will never go over 4.7, etc.
I had the original note and the actual everyday difference in body size isn't huge.
You're getting 26% more screen area for less actual volume of the phone because it's thinner.
Height and width wise it's just as pocketable as the Note with more screen.
Personally, I will only say it's too big if it doesn't fit my pockets any more.

Not for me. 6.3 is too big for me and does';t fit in my pocket.
Anyway it is not about whether to choose 5.8 or 6.3 but about a dual sim ability.
If 6.3 had dual sim maybe I'd consider it again but for now 5.8 is the only option for me

i don't really think 6.3 is too big. Even nexus 7 seems a little bit small to me, even though i own note 2.
you can use another regular phone for a dual sim need.
I use note 2 + a regular qwerty phone dual sim (samsung e2222, cost about 35$)
Some people are just not comfortable carrying 2 phones (I am one of those)

My question is how long will the galaxy note last like years wise since its a dual core s3 and quad cores are comming out will the dual core phones be diminished like the single core ones have been
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
There is Still no quad core that's compatible with AT&T's lte.
The North American version of the htc one x has a dual core for that very reason.
No device in this market can "last" years if you wanna be on the bleeding edge. And as the price drops for the note others who wouldn't spend 300 bones on a brand new device will be attracted to this beastly screen imo
Do you think the note will actually become like cheap I bought mine for 320 with tax and I'm wondering like the infuse started at 200 and when down to pretty much free will that eventually happen to the note

I run an Infuse site on Facebook and it is about to top 4000 likes. When I upgraded to the Note a couple of months ago, it was at around 3700. It's a single core beast that still gets mad love. I'm not worried about this dual core beast falling off.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
If you are asking " How long will it lead the pack? " The answer is until something better comes along that has better specs and the same or bigger screen size... considering the pace of technology it wont be long.
IF you are asking " How long will the Note last Physically? " .. the answer is YEARS .... that is IF you have an i717. There are less moving parts on the i717 than the international Note .. it has that main button that is used alot. " Anything that moves .... eventually dies " . The parts that will wear are the head phone Jack, power button, volume rocker, and the USB port.
Hope this helps

And my opinion on this topic is that the note will last however long you want it too. Basically however long you think you can keep using it before you decide you want or have to upgrade to the new phones.

The infuse had to be pried from my cold dead hands. Its still right here in the cabinet next to me with Zeus 5.2 rockin on it. I can turn it on right now and it's still sitting at 75% charge. I haven't plugged it in or used it in 6 weeks. My journey from the infuse to the Note went something like this.
SGS2: Cool.. dual core... smaller screen.. No way I go smaller screen. PASS
HTC Inspire: HTC Phone? Sense? LOL.. PASS
HTC Vivid: See above
SGS2 Skyrocket: Neat. Interesting. Not much better than my hyper modded infuse. Note coming out soon.. PASS
Im not interested in quadcore phones. I just want a phone that I can get 6+ hours of screen time.

If youre the type of person who needs the latest and greatest, then I would say no dont get it. However, if the note fits your needs, by all means...pick one up. I dont regret it at all. Got it on launch day instead of saving my upgrade for the sgs3. If you care about quadrant scores and all of the braggin rights, wait for the sgs3 or just get the international Note w the 1.4 exynos dual core processor.

Quad core phones are overrated currently and not ready for Prime time, used the right way at least. Its all marketing hype & a battery killer. Look at the HTC ONE X. The new S4 processor is just as fast as the Tegra 3 model if not faster in some situations. The Tegra 3 HTC one X will be outdated before any application can take advantage of the quad core in the phone.
As far as the dual core vs quad core One X situation Snapdragon S4 IS the faster SoC ... Anandtech already posted benchmark results showing proof ... Tegra outperforms it only in multi threaded tests, which are a rare in a smartphone ...

I've been using smartphones for years and the Note is the first one that has stopped me from scouring rumor posts every day looking for my next phone. Just saying. This one will be relevant for awhile, particularly if mfrs are slow to come up with a successor. Can anyone with a Note imagine going back to a device with lower screen resolution...
I think the new processor will be amazing but I can't say that I'm liking the rounded edges. This thing is borderline pebble-shaped.
It will be interesting to see where they take the design to with the Note 2, to say the least

Does this mean no 1080p/1200p for the Note 2?

sent from my phone/tablet thingy
I dont like the rounded edges either. The only thing i like about the phone is the new processor. And they finally add the light notification, which is good. Besides those two things, Im not impressed. Everything else is just software update, which the note will receive sooner or later. I will stick with the note for a while.
My curiosity is how long it'll take for the Dev's to pull the good parts out of the GSIII's ROM and port them to the Note...
I like the bigger screen, but wouldn't trade my note for it.
Dislike the round edges
Like the bigger battery
Like the gorilla glass 2
Dislike that the ram didn't change
Dislike that the screen didn't change much other then the size
Like the new smart stay
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Yeah, Im definitely curious about how SMART it's going to be, but like many have said before - the SGS3 is mostly software, which will eventually come to the note at some point. And if S-pen functionality can be kept too, then the Note with SGS3 SW will be all we'll need tilll the note 2 comes out.
I had been eagerly anticipating a device that would be worth switching to from the note because (lets be honest) who doesn't love a new phone? But I can honestly say that this one wont do it for me. I guess if there was a way to have quad core and lte living together then I might consider it but I just love the note so much. I know it sounds crazy but I just don't see them coming out with anything (other than maybe the note 2) that would be worth switching to from my current note. This is sad because I love getting new phones so I guess it bittersweet for me.
Love the note. If you're not on seraphim it might be time take a look in the mirror and make sure you get your priorities straightened out...lol

What about the rumor that the USA version won't get a quad core processor?
4.8" is close, but I don't think I could go back to a less than 5" screen.
i may just buy the international version of the s3 and wait for the Note 2 for my next LTE upgrade.

i think the US version of the S3 won't have a exynos processor......don't think its compatible with LTE modems........they may end up using the snapdragon 4core processor instead due the LTE compatibility
I agree, this phone isn't a game changer by any stretch of the imagination. It's basically the HTC one with a removable battery and MicroSD port. It is pretty, but so is my note. The quad core isn't that impressive anymore because of this:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/03/tsmc-ramps-28nm-arm-cortex-a9-chip-to-3-1ghz/
imagine a phone that can process that freaking fast! We'll see where the processor wars go. The note keeps me happy, I can wait.
Also if you want a little more in depth look, here's android centrals' post on the S3. Though I like AC in general, I think they were really humping samsung's leg when they wrote it.

This matches up with leaked specs for HTC's new 5" phone.
Those benchmarks look great, but I think I'll wait until we get screenshots and more info (SD card? Removable battery?) before I think about jumping ship or not.

At least you have a choice. Being a teenager I can't afford to buy an off contract phone and still keep up with paying for the part of the plan I pay for.
I guess I need to start thinking about carrying a murse (man purse) around with all these huge screens coming out, or maybe a fanny pack, or a belt holster . Or maybe those huge rave pants will become trendy again...

I hope it does have removable memory and removable battery but won't bug me to much if it doesn't have a removable battery if it's a good size. I think all HTC devices on VZW have those things and maybe could be a requirement for HTC devices on VZW? Plus the Dinc 4G did and that's a variant of the one series.

or, you could buy a smaller screen phone. Just because a 5" phone comes out, doesn't mean you have to buy it.

Looking forward to having a note with ALOT more storage again, been hard living with only 64gb on my note 5 lol.
I really hope the rumours are off base and sammy offers a non edge version though as that will likely kill it for me, not even remotely an edge fan.

Looking forward to having a note with ALOT more storage again, been hard living with only 64gb on my note 5 lol.
I really hope the rumours are off base and sammy offers a non edge version though as that will likely kill it for me, not even remotely an edge fan.

3600mah battery will be too small. It needs to be at least 4000mah so that people can justify switching from S7 or S7 Edge. Over time, the Note 7 will become slow just like all other Samsung devices though.

Most likely MM.

Not the Canadian or International exynos versions..at least not on the S7 the bootloader is not locked. Only snapgradon versions.
Lets see what they do on the note.
i just know ill never buy a device that's got a locked BL which cannot be easily unlocked.

Is it confirmed that the bootloaders for u.s. carriers will all be locked down? I hope not this sucks.

Hard to say, since the S7s are one would think that the notes would follow suit. But who knows, we cannot be sure until people have the device in hand.
Its not a huge problem really just buy a CAN or International version to avoid the locked down models.
people with those versions on the S7 seem not to be having issues running them in the US.

Can't wait until they announce this monster phone! Yay Samsung ? ?
I'm just going to leave this here. The title is pretty much self explanatory. This thread is for all of you from the great white North who could not, would not settle for the locked down Snapdragon 820 W8 variant.
Have fun!

I have a question on this exynos vs sd difference as I couldn't get clear information yet.
How does the camera and sound performance compare between the two? I own the sd w8 variant of course, but the camera (sony sensor I believe) is incredibly fast, iq is even better than my previous z5. Also, wired sound is, for most of my playlist, very large and much better than Sony even.
It's just that for root sake id switch too to exynos provided that camera is at least on par between them.

I don't think there is any difference between the cameras. The main differences are with battery life and root access as far as I know.

On the S6 and S7 variants samsung used both a Sony and a house sensor but it was random within both Exynos and SD variants, not specific to 1 or the other.

Does anyone know of any differences between the F/FD and the N930K/S variant from South Korea?
Debating between the W8 and the Exynos...shame the Exynos doesn't have it in black.
Here is the N930FD Aida64

Haven't heard anything about having different sensors for the note 7 cameras. How about you?

Nope i am under the impression they are the same.
I have both and wow the Exynos version runs so much cooler with superior battery life... Hoping to get back my LTE symbol though through CSC changes
You're going to need root for that. You'll have 3 choices. There's an app, a build.prop edit or xposed.

Ya, I know Force. Forgot to quote the person above who, I assumed, wanted to change his 4g icon for LTE but I might have misunderstood.

I just pulled the trigger and purchased one of these. Is there a way to enable Rogers Wifi calling on the international models?
can someone with the international version put a wind sim in thier phone and test to see if its working. or put in
*#2263# in the dailer and go to band STACK 1 or 2. check if 1700 and 2100 has a star beside it

Nope. VoLTE only works on devices with a Rogers IMEI. You couldn't even get it to work on an unlocked bell or Telus w8 with the Rogers CSC. I know naysayers are going to try and say otherwise but I learner it the hard way.
Edit : I could swear I saw VoLTE. My guess would be it applies to Wifi calling as well. Worth a try I guess.
