Oh ok I gotcha. Yeah I knew they were doing the benchmark boosting for a while now. To average consumers this may mean a lot, probably because of the "spec" and "flame" wars between brands, so I can see why they would do this (although not very ethical.) but my reasons for liking a phone come from everything but benchmarks.

Mine do as well ....I'm getting the mega for giggles this week
my addiction:Flashing.

Eh, I don't think it's necessarily fanboys. Fanboys don't care about scores. They don't let a little thing like numbers get in their way. They're the guys who think swiping OVER your phone in the air is way more efficient and helpful than swiping ON the screen.
To be fair, I guarantee you I can find upteen threads, both regular and inside of ROM threads, where people brag about benchmark scores as a sign of speed.
But, with all that said, it's extremely lame what they did. No denying that.

Agreed. What Samsung did was wrong and immoral. But haven't other companies been doing the same?

Not sure... This is the first I've heard but I wouldn't doubt it

Shayne, you should really make the switch right now, man. T-mobile has no money down right now. So you can pick up the Note 3 for 47.50 (just the tax). I switched to Jump! and even in 6 months when I switch to whatever is fancy, then, using the Note 3 will only have cost me $200.

Tmobile is offering the note 3 on no money down?! Imma check that out right now!

I'm using tmobile prepaid on our note.... I don't want to be locked down on any contract ever again.... Sprint and Verizon both screwed me... So I said the he'll with it... I'm grabbing the mega keeping it for a year and seeing what comes out then.
That does sound really good too though Anthony

Those that care about benchmarks should buy an iPhone 5s since the A7 chip "blew" the competition away. I'm guilty of admiring high-end specs and features but benchmarks don't mean jack to me. I never ran benchmarks on my new phones since 2010.

AT&T Note 1080p screen.

So last Friday i went to my local att store with the full intention of getting the Note but naturally i wanted to try having some fun with the reps. I told them i was wanting a new phone and then asked them what is the best phone. Turns out the iphone 4s is the best. When i asked why i was told it has siri and a retina display. (no one there could tell me why the retina display was so amazing) At that point i decided not to attempt to troll them as it would have been pointless. Fast forward and im at the checkout buying the Note. While checking out the rep tells me how the phone has a 1080p screen. At this point i couldn't help myself i asked if it was better than the iphones retina..short anwser no it is not. Anyways im now a proud owner of the only 1080p galaxy note. lol

ATT employees get a bigger commission on iphones if im not mistaken...idrones
the resolution is not 1080p its 1280x800
its a little better then 720p but still better then the iphone
Love how store employees have no idea. Once asked what processor a phone had to be told a good one. When I asked what they meant I was told the processor was 'at least a few megabytes' lol. Talk about knowing your stuff!

Haha I love messing with the reps there never gets old. I was there last week and the sales rep trying to sell me the phone was unaware of the different processor the ATt has over the international model to comidate LTE. I could write a book from going in there and talking to them. My gf always tells me to take it easy before we head in lol.
Best part was when i was walking out someone was complaining to the rep about being throttled. I noticed he had the infuse and after the rep told him they couldn't do anything about it i made it a point to tell him how to fix it. Once again the rep told the man what i was saying wouldnt work and against the tos. Needless to say he is no longer throttled lol.

I was at a corporate one. I don't mean to sound like an ass i just think its funny. To be honest if i worked there i would recommend iphones and act ignorant of cell phone tech. The vast majority of people would just get confused otherwise. When people get confused they feel dumb and when they feel dumb they get offended and end up leaving and making their purchase elsewhere.

Not true at all. The money made is from selling data plans and accessories. Doesn't matter what phone they sell. Actually iPhones cost AT&T more money.

AT&T corporate store employees make more on iPhones, indirect agents (authorized retailers) make nothing on iPhone sales.. not even the data plans. So it really depends what type of store you're in. Personally I enjoy when someone knows the tech they're talking about. Although it is quite funny watching people try to convince me the iPhone is better than everything else.

You have some more research to do. The skyrocket & note are unique in this way.
Just remember that for most people that work at those places they could give a **** about most everything there, they are just trying to do their job. Those stores have high turnaround in alot of cases and employees aren't required to know everything about devices.
And technically going by ppi the 4S is better. He couldn't tell you why though. And i would rather have the Notes screen that the tiny iPhone any day.

I did that a few years ago when my car was towed. Came in and dropped 250 rolls of pennies on the counter. It would have been better if it was just loose change. Strange but true, a lot of banks dont keep that much change on hand. I had to go to 3 different banks to get that much change. Would have been f**king awesome if Samsung really did that though
If this were true, I'd think that Apple would have a freaking option to deny the money due to some insane reasoning. This after all, IS America, where the ridiculous can be made to sound sane and the innocent can be proven guilty!

The only problem with sending over all those nickels would be when Samsung wins the appeal then they would be stuck with them.
Funny thing is that nickels are the one denomination made now a days that at times can be worth more than face value.

I'm pretty sure it's all Android manufacturers that are affected. The EVO LTE was delayed at customs because of this. And besides, we've already got JB leaks for our phone.

The EVO LTE was stopped at the border because of how they handled phone numbers in various applications.
Samsung lost a lawsuit because their phones look like iPhones (and yet they still sell phones with a physical home button...morons )

Actually it's Samsung that's doing more damage as they are sort of the face of Android these days. They lose a case for copying and people think all android phones are rip offs of iPhones. They even added a single home button to the bottom after removing all capacitive buttons.

Right, well anyone can be a victim of these broad patents.
I think it's funny that Samsung owns most of the cellular market share now.
Personally, I still hope for a later reversal of that final ruling, especially in light of the recent overturn of Koh's initial injunction. I hope that reversal is somewhat a bellwether against AAPL's frivolous nonsense.
Nonetheless, it'd still be nice to have JB on my evo lte... and beating the GS3 to it would be icing on the cake. Just not at all a fan of that phone.

Hey they gs3 is a rip off of the icants, heck when the first galaxy came out I was on tmo and it looked just like an icant 3g!!! And if my lte gets jb before the gs3 as an ota not a leaked Rom then more power to HTC, I'm just tired of all the publicity the gs3 is getting and all the negativity the evolte is getting. The lte blows the gs3 out of the water on benchmarks, and is an all around better device

The only relevance is the home button. The Evo is shaped more like an iPhone, so Evo is just at fault as Samsung is. This is a petty argument. The point of this thread was to point out that the Evo is supposedly getting Jellybean first so let's leave it at that.

To be honest and unbiased I owned HTC phones (Mogul, TP1,TP2,Evo,Evo3D,and EvoLTE) the past several years and now I am on my first Samsung phone. I hated not having a removable battery on the LTE and the nonexistent Sprint LTE and 3G in the DFW so I bounced and picked up a GS3 on TMO. The ELTE does things better than the GS3 and the GS3 does things better than the ELTE so it is was it is, you can't really trash either phone. In the mean time HTC is losing money and marketshare while Samsung is the No. 1 smartphone manufacturer worldwide. I could care less who gets Jelly Bean first...LOL

Who cares about quadrant scores? Try thinking about real life performance.
I currently have the EVO 4G LTE and the GSIII and can tell you that they are equal in speed and performance. And honestly, out of the box, the GSIII is much snappier. The LTE is a better device to me because of the kickstand, but that may be the only reason.

Retail Device Discussion

Ok guys i have been off contract with sprint for like 6 months and I've bought every EVO (Flagships) since the OG. What I exactly is the benefit of buying retail? I remember buying the 3d for $200 like 4 months after release and I bought LTEVO release day for $608 with body glove. The HTCO is an inferior device imo because I know s800 EVO or beast is coming but LTEVO land is pretty much dead. I may be forced to get The One because all the devs are migrating there... So I'm stuck.
***I Just Woke Up... Tell Me Where The Drugs At***
Not dead here man. Not everyone is bouncing to the One. HTCO is not inferior cause s800 won't be out until the end of the year, probably the Verizon "One" will get it but not Sprint, ATT and T-Mo. Sprint lets you upgrade every 18 months nowadays, not as good as 1 yr with Premier but still better than 22 months like the competition.

Well maybe dead was too strong, but idk... I just don't have the motivation. Since Virus left and now Mikey I'm just sitting on Viper. The Sense 5 looks nice, but I rarely flash ports. CMX and all the others AOSP roms are nice... PAC has my interest most, but sound quality kept me from CMX.1 again. I can't stand not having the latest and greatest either. I want the One, but S600 just can't compare with the big beasts like T4 and S800 eventho they aren't released.
Could someone tell me the benefit of buying retail tho?

I dont see a benefit. If youre gonna be with sprint for the next two years i say take the subsidized price and sign the contract. You can always cancel later and pay the etf and youll still save $100+.

Yeah youd lose both. But if you sign right back up with them im not sure if you could just get the number back or if it goes into a hold state for an amount of time. Idk. Im sayin if youre gonna be with sprint for the forseeable future why not just get the discounted phone. Do you plan on jumping to att, verizon, or tmobile? You can always buy retail while youre on contract so why not take the contract and get a phone cheaper if youre gonna stay with sprint anyway.

I see no benefit to buying retail. I'm not even gonna comment on "dead" forum.
Maybe T-Mobile might be worth looking at if they have decent coverage in your area. You can get the HTCO for $100 without signing up for 2 years . I know you pay $20 a month but still seems like a good deal .
Regarding S800. I'm sure its a beast but how much more computing power do you need when you look at the ONE's benchmarks. 12k on quadrant or something ridiculous like that

Does it really matter that the s800 or whatever has better specs? Android)/apps won't be optimized to use it for a long time and its not like you're going to be compiling code on your phone.

If your LTE works why not keep it for another year? That would be the least risky thing to do

I just can't be on a device with dated hardware lol. Seeing as how the One is a qual device... Its sure to get s-off, so I may wait a month or two and get it on craigslist

So here's the guy who's been "bragging", ' I buy off contract', going, "wait, maybe that wasn't smart'? ?
Am I missing something?

Just was evaluating plans on T-Mobile etc and thought about my last decisions regarding phones. I don't think I'm really saving anything with Sprint . 4G in my area is good, 3G still blows, but I kinda feel like it'd be a mistake to shell out $700 this time.

Will we ever see a Mega 2??

If sales aren't high enough to satisfy Samsung, may this Mega be our first and last one??

It's starting to look that way

Sadly I would not expect to see another one.It seems to me that a lot of people just laugh it of as a gimmick device.

So, presumably, we would from the Mega to the Note 4 in a year or so??
(I know that this is all speculation and a lot will change in a year)

If samsung makes it with a little better specs and maybe an anoled screen I cannot see why they shouldn't make a mega 2 as they had good success with this mega..but this mega is awesome already and it can only improve if a mega 2 does happen to come out. ..but only time will tell.

Agreed. Look at the activity on this forum. Doesn't seem to be a lot of us.
This phone will never get the respect it deserves because of the mid-range specs. People will never know until they actually play with one :/

Exactly. Probably the first smartphone which disproves how specs on paper can be misleading and not tell the whole story about actual, discernable performance.
My Mega is just as snappy as my former S4.
Sadly, we may or may not ever see another here in the US. However, I'm sure that in a year or so, we will be talking about flexible displays anyway so...

This phone is a sleeper hit. I think there will be a Mega 2 next year.
I think there would likely be a mega 2. Samsung has to keep producing not only high end but also midrange phones to remain competitive.

I hope so, but then we also have to hope that it comes again to AT&T. I'm just afraid that AT&T may not be selling enough of them to warrant a second one in their lineup.
Again, this is just speculative paranoia, but you never know and we know how much is going to change in a year or more.

Lets remember whilst we know the specs and what they me average joe doesent know the diff between snapdragon this or exynos that. 8t wont sell well compared to the others purely because its too big for the majority of users most people have called it a tablet when they seen it. So anyone walking into the shop and see this next to normal phones they will probably stray away from it. Unlike peeps like us who do believe bigger is better

i think yes, we will see but not better than what we have already now. Samsung released this mega in rush without big announcement before, it was in exact time when Huawei released their ascend mate. also the development for this device i don't think it will run good since Samsung don't want that.
Samsung releasing some hybrid devices only to exam the market from our pockets and to say we are here then they kill these devices and kill the people who screwed and owned them. exactly as same what happened for Galaxy tab 7.7 which did not repeated and did not get any update or custom roms for more than a year.
Their loss, my gain. Maybe I should buy 2 for when this one dies. Although that doesn't look like any time soon AT ALL. lol

VERY true, up here in BC, Canada, I have only seen one person throughout my university campus with a Mega, everyone else is rocking a stupid iphone (dont understand the sillyness of one), I've seen only a handful of windows phones, and 2 Bberry's
Still saving up my pennies so I can get a Mega, the bad thing is the limited dual-core inside of it. It isn't BAD but a quad-core would make the phone way better. I love large phones.
