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.

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.

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.

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.

google does not believe in external storage for its devices. It will create lots of problems. 16GB out to be enough for everything . THen there is USB OTG for others.
Another question i have is that Nexus 4 seems to use micro sim. So if i import one from US, will i able to use it here. I have seen ways to make your own micro sim.
Frankly speaking I am more excited with Nexus 10 launch that Nexus 4. Nexus 7 3G is also great news. Google is hell bent on landsliding every competitor
I'm in sync with 'all the above' - considering Nexus 7 to shootout with my wife's pending iThing-Mini - looking at Nexus 4, but would consider Nex 3 or other LG. I'm one of those that have gained a healthy respect for the anvil-like P500/509 [in my case].... Was/is an under-rated device that delivers way more bang-per-buck than critics credit. THat plus the little-recognized fact of pretty good Tech Support from LG people... I give them a 8/10 in my experience. even as old as the device is, their 'chat' people are great if you just have a bit of working knowledge to give them direction.
yay LG.
I guess I'm leaning toward Nex 4 because, if it is not overly buggy at introduction, I think it will just nuke the surrounding competition. the others will quickly move to Ebay...
Are you guys sure there is a Nexus 3? I think it is a Nexus 4, not a Nexus 3

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

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.

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.

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

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

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)

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.
