Anyone try using the note 5's s-pen on the new display of the s8 and s8+ due to the rumors that it could have included one back in January? That would be pretty cool if it works and we can get a case with a compartment for the pen.

The Note7 s-pen was not compatible with the s8 plus. My guess is there won't be and s-pen

The Note series has a special screen. If it does work, it probably won't work well.
"Users that wish to gain S Pen features not available to the Galaxy S7 in the past wont have much luck. Without the digitizer hardware of the Note 7, any S Pen from any previous Note device won’t work. Users will be able to use a standard stylus, but it wont quite be the same.."
it either works perfectly or it doesn't work at all.
and on the S8 it definitely doesn't work, even the C-Pen doesn't work(old high precision capacitive stylus for galaxy tab and S series devices)
it's going to be a big adjustment for me, coming from a Note 4.
Tried it with my note edge pen... No luck!
did any of you install the Required SPen APK?
if not you may have the same results trying to use the SPen with a chalk board.

Just wondering if it allows precise input like on Note. As there is same preinstalled input and graphic software on 7.7 as on Note.
There is a guy here that tried it and it did not work.

That would be me. And correct, it doesn't work sadly...
yeah.. last month.. at Best Buy, the Samsung rep was displaying the 7 plus and the bigger tab and the Galaxy Player 5..
He dammn near wigged out when I pulled my GNote out to size up the other stuff..
Said he's never even heard of it.
He messed with it for a bit.. then tried the Styles on the 7 plus...
It didnt work on that one either..
I have both the Note and the Tab 7.7. the NOTE stylus is proprietary to the G Note only and does not work on the Tab 7.7 or any other androids tablets or smartphones
The note has a special screen tech that allows the pen to work with it which none of the tablets gave so no its not going to work

Supposedly, the hardware of the 7.7 has the same tech. I don't remember who originally posted it. If that's the case, and it's just a software disabled feature, maybe it's possible to enable it? Who knows...
I have a Note too. Just got my 7.7. If it had the same screen tech, this would absolutely be the killer device. I hope it does but I'll buy one when it comes out if this one doesn't. Can you imagine the note taking and drawing apps that could be made?
Samsung's using an exclusive s-pen chip on board, it's hardware capability, recently only Note has this chip. I heard samsung will apply the s-pen chip to the wider screen in the future. Let's wait see...

It's not so much a special chip as there is another layer within the touchscreen (it uses the WACOM pen technology). I'd be surprised if they went to the expense of using it here without actually marketing it (but stranger things have happened).

The s-Pen is not capacitive. It's a wacom digitizer. Remember the OQO 5 inch computers back in 03-06. It's actually old technology in the orginal tablets in the late 90s and early 2000s. I think
I want to try Samsung products for the first time. Which one should I get? S6 or S6 Edge? I really love the design of S6 edge, looks so beautiful. But is it worth the price?
I think if you'll do it ,you should do it right..go for the Edge..!!
for a first time Samsung user, try Edge;
want big? think big then
The good news is the Note 5 will be along in about 6 months so if you get bored or want to go bigger you will likely get the dual edge on the Note 5 with internal storage and sealed battery.
S6 edge for sure

S6 edge is better to buy.
Samsung was done a big new things on s6 and edge such as camera it is un comparable. And exynos 7420 will give more fast experience otherthan every smartphone in the world.
100% Personal Preference. :good:
I'd say go EDGE ALLLLL DAY! Rack them sales up for Samsung so they see the positive response for the development of the next Note 5 LOL...j/k
GO EDGE. :good:
Please don't go by what everyone here is saying. Just go to the shop, and try the demos. See why works best for you? That's what I did, and I'm going with the Edge personally. You might not like it though, or maybe to you its not worth the extra $100? Try before you buy.
im thinking there will be a rom that allows S6 Edge features on the S6
Yeah I am also torn between the two
So since the whole note 7 is going down the drain, what should I switch my note 7 in for? Not apple for sure. Looking for a powerful phone that I can mess around with and learn coding etc stuff and tweak it and it have a good camera and everything else.
I went for S7E... Waited 2 years! 2 years for a NOTE... 5 was not released in EU and now this sh1t with N7... Maybe next year if it's as good as that day phones are I will sell S7E and finally get a NOTE. Fingers crossed!

Same, I skipped last 2 Notes to get my hands on this one. Have to wait another year. I'm sure Sammy will reward long suffering and loyal Note users

How to get note 7 ROM on note 5. Maybe I shud stick to note 5 for another yr.. Can't seem to find a better phone!! Note 7 was it... #Sad #EmotionallyScared

I had finally decided I would look into a Note 5. I also skipped the last 2 notes and held out for the 7. I passed this time again when I saw the Note 5 was still going for $729 at T-Mobile. I know I am being ridiculous in the end. But if I wont pay that much for the S7/S7E and its damn near identical, there is no way I would pay that much for last years model. I know we Note owners are very particular, but I refuse to pay that price for something I don't really want but is just a means to an end.
ZTE Axon 7. It has stereo speakers, dolby, and half the price.
if you do not really really need the stylus, could be a perfect replacement.

this has been discussed 1000000 times already.
because OP3 is FHD (not QHD), does not have QC3.0 and stereo speakers with high-quality audio dac, for example. depends on your needs... you need to make this research on your own, and make the decision.
Sticking with the S6 edge plus until the note 8 I guess. It's the only alternative 5.7" QHD super amoled android phone on the market other than the note 5 that didn't make it to the UK. However, there is the Honor note 8 buts that's a 6.6" which is a little too big for me. Although it does boast a samsung QHD super amoled panel, so it might be worth looking for guys with big hands but in my opinion its not as sleek looking as the note 7 or the s6 edge plus/note 5 for that matter
I highly recommend the S7 Edge.
My friend got the Note 7 on launch and still has it to this day, however he is thinking about switching over - finally, and he chose the S7 Edge.
When it comes to pretty strong phones in terms of the hardware and functionality side of things, either the S7 or S7 Edge if you want something that has the edge features and a bigger screen.
I previously had a Note 4, then went to down to an S5, then up to an S7 Edge. Odd I know.
Comparing a Note 7 and an S7E side by side there's not much difference to be fairly honest.
Wouldn't go with an S6 - Not IP67 certified and no SD Card slot
Alternatively - buy a cheap phone for the time being until something that you really like comes out
TBH, I don't think there's any device on the market at the moment that can replace the Note 7 or Note 5, features/hardware-wise.
The LG v20 somehow tries to, but it's still a vastly inferior product in my opinion (not a bad phone, just not on the Note 7's level)
Samsung Note 5
Found a great deal on Woot for Samsung Galaxy Note 5 32gb. $369.99 Grade A refurbished. This should hold me over until this all gets sorted out next year.

i cant find any good reviews on it
I dont know how many of you have heard of the Phree kickstarter project
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1958554063/phree-make-the-world-your-paper
But could this pen input device with a S7 edge and later a S8 edge make the Note line pretty much obsolete? I do concede that the S pens onboard storage and its integration with S note and some of the phones other functions give it a convience advantage... although you can somewhat use evernote to deal with the latter...
I am going to keep my note 7 as long as I can... perhaps until I get my Phree in my hands...I was a early backer...but if I have to give up my 7... I like the S7 edge.... but the S pens note taking capabilities have become apart of my life.
Nice find, but you can't apply directly to the screen with pressure sensitivity. And it doesn't store in the phone!
Still, thanks for sharing.
The Note line will never be obsolete!
Long live S-Pen!

I'm with you vilasman - I use my handy dandy S-Pen every day at work or otherwise; been rockin it hard since before they were cool.
I know you know there's no substitute for an S-Pen, but good looking on the viable alternative.

So we made the jump in favor of the S10 leaving the previous phone behind. Why ?
I personally spent the last months between S9 and OP6T trying to escape from the Samsung supremacy but always find myself returning back to S9. The OP6T isn't bad at all but just feels unfinished when it comes to the special features which could make it more a flagship than a flagship killer.
The S10 in comparison is for me far superior in every aspect: look, feel, build quality, DISPLAY, stereo speaker, atmos, sammy features, CAMERA AND ITS APP, VR, jack, power sharing, wireless charging, shealth, ...

I do a lot of video recording and recording in hdr10 plus is a big thing to me. plus all the other parts that you already said. And the camera has a super steady mode that literally takes any jitter out of the video. I am coming from the pixel 3XL. I will miss the timely updates but I won't really miss root. The only thing I did with root was a theme with substratum and use AdAway to get rid of ads. and since Samsung already has substratum without Root is pretty much not an issue for me.

Yes. I too am a phone whore. A dirty phone whore. Plus, I miss having a flat display. Which is why I bought the One Plus 6T but the camera on that thing SUCKS and there's no wireless charging or a headphone jack. The S10(e) has those things along with a flat display. Plus, it's easier to hold in the hand than my Note 9.
I'm still going to stay with the Note series because of that S-Pen, but I won't be getting a Note 10 (or whatever they're calling it) until next March when Exynos model prices drop. I'm gonna have a rooted Note 10, goddamn it. This T-Mobile S10(E) will serve me well until then.

S6 to the S10 for me, going to be a massive upgrade!
Note 8 to S10+, I use to be a phone whore before the note8 but ive been quite content but I cannot pass on this S10!
S9 to S10. I was happy enough with the S9 but I couldn't pass up the trade-in.

Pretty much the same here but I went from the Note 9 to Pixel 3XL and now on to the 10+. I won't miss root at all and AdHell3 is great for ads and disabling any unwanted apps.

Not me. I was really close to pulling the trigger but one thing stopped me from doing it: the slow charge on s10. I need super charge feature of the Huawei cause i really depend on it. Otherwise 2 very excellent phones indeed. And this is coming from someone who had the note 9 before the mate.
Pre-ordered the S8+ two years ago, now I've got the S10+ coming today. Seems every 2 years Samsung makes a lot of improvements to their phones. S3-S4, S5-S6, S7-S8, and now the S9-S10. At least it's a predictable trend.
