After using a lot of Samsung phones, this model has really let me down and I'm thinking to sell this phone and move on as I'm really not happy about it due to below shortcomings.
- Display Profiles/Preset(Dynamic/Standard etc) - This obvious option is missing and my eyes is unable to getting used to stock setting and screen is something which I look all the time I really miss this option
- Spen Keeper - Too bad I use Spen
- Macro Focus in Camera - And camera too
If you're not satisfied with the phone, then sell it.
Display Profiles, I kinda miss it in my previous Note 2 and Note 3. I'm used to the Neo's profile though.
Regarding S-Pen Keeper, I really liked it too, but I hardly leave without the Pen even when I used the previous notes, and there's also a S-Pen icon notification on top.
About the macro, it's not built for total macro shots since it doesn't have a nice aperture, but it doesn't necessarily mean the overall camera performance is bad. Here's a few macros I took myself, it's not that bad, right? :angel:

There is no point asking here buddy, if u don't like it then sell it and buy another one. Everyone has there own preferences so a phone can't cater to everyone's requirements.
btw which phone are you planning to buy?

It's just buyers remorse and not complaining that phone completely sucks . When I move from one gen device to next one , I expect Samsung to leave options intact . For someone newly coming it doesn't make any difference to them
May be I'll pick up a Note 3 or Note 4 [emoji16]

I completely understand, didn't mean to sound harsh, afterall we've had so many healthy conversations!
I think the display profiles not being there is more of a skimped feature cos of being a Neo.
Note 4 will be out in October, so if u can wait then good, cos I know it'll be the best device.

Yeah , that's what I'm wondering if Samsung deliberately crippled down features just because it's Neo and even though it's not hardware dependent

I never used it, always used adapt display (I like punchy colours), so not having issues. But if it's bothering u too much then u should switch to another phone. But I too am surprised that out of all features sammy decided to remove this one - incredible Samsung!

The price gap is negligible in other countries but in India it's huge b/w flagship and Neo model .
Also insane price drop after buying the phone just makes you more disappointed

Not in all countries, that is AFAIK. But yeah maybe in a few countries. The price of Note 3 has become pretty much stagnant, launched at 47K and since last 4-5 months it's being sold at 42-45K in different stores. I suggest u to wait for Note 4 if u can cos software & performance wise u won't be gaining much with the Note 3.
You are right!

Ya you are right! Until you pointed even I didn't know that the "adapt, dynamic, standard, movie " option is missing. Now I am feeling sad too Good observation by you.
Regarding Camera you can try "focal" app and there are so many camera apps available which you can download using Aptoide.
Just go to Aptoide.com and then install the apk. Once you install that software you can add different stores. Using them you can search for any apps. Paid and free. There you can get many many camera apps which might cater to your needs hopefully.
Please wait for Snapdragon 805 phones to arrive and then may be you can sell this and get the latest. But really sad to know you are dissatisfied with this phone.
Hope your phone surprises you some way in coming days and changes your mind
Cheers!

May be Samsung has "hidden" those featureS? May be we can get those features by putting some code on dialpad?
for example *#9900# will give you additional settings mostly diagnostics. I have tried it on Note 2, Note 3 Neo and Note 8.0
I hope we can get back that "display" feature.

They should give us the display profiles option, ridiculous on their part to be so miser.. -_-
Though I can live without it, many users require to adjust the settings. At that price, I think it's not justified to leave out a small albeit important feature!

I know you're the kind who likes natural colours, but I like punchy colours. So for me it's indeed one of the best!
S5 IMO has the best display to date.
I like S-Amoled displays so much that I find even my iPad Air's display to be a little dull which is supposedly the best LCD display!

If i liked LCD I would've never bought a Samsung phone which is quite obvious. Am fine with punchy but oversaturated colors is not what I like and I love options where I could tweak or change it as per my eyes.

So I just recently heard of another smartphone who has blowing specs, Veerne Apollo Lite is a deca-core smartphone with 4GB of ram and 32GB of storage.

About this one:
Powerful at first glance, but rather poor build quality, many users are reporting connectivity issues.
Advice: avoid it.

Its a knockoff so its probably poorly optimized so it will probably be very slow.
Arobase40 said:
Vernee like most Chinese smartphone manufacturers doesn't have any specific budget for paying international patents or specific design (including Xiaomi) so they can "share or borrow" their ressources one another including the mold... ^^
The SOC is based on Mediatek, so cheaper than Qualcomm and the phone is sold mainly on the Chinese domestic market with no international after sale services !
If you have any hardware problems, you'll have to send the device back to China, wait for some weeks and you'll most probably have to pay for shipping fees back and forth.
When you see the trouble to get official updates from Huawei, I don't think you can expect any regular updates from Vernee or any other Chinese manufacturers.

Agree, so I wont be getting it but it would be good to see some bench or speed tests from it. The lack of software updates probably kills this phone has you said.

I decided to get a mint black HTC 10 from swappa, sooo much smaller and everything else is just as great. miss HDR+ but love everything about it. thanks for all your help everyone!
ORIGINAL POST BELOW
So I love my 6P, battery life if not so great but I absolutely love the camera! as do most friends and family always saying my pics look amazing!
Anyway, I really hate having a large brick (nexus 6p) in my pocket. I thought in time I would adjust but it's been over a year and I still dislike how large it is -__- so question is simple.... what phone 5 inch ish would you switch too? as far as camera's go, right now I think Moto G5 Plus is the closest thing (with wide pixels 1.4um) but it seems the phone is kinda big also.
Fire away and help a brother out with phone recommendations! Thanks!
I've had my eyes on OnePlus, but I'm waiting for the 5.

I don't think I could go back to a screen any smaller than 5.5 inches now. It can be unwieldy for sure, so I get that it isn't for everyone. I did love my s6 edge size wise though, and that was only 5.1 inches.
iPhone 7 and no I'm not trolling

if u can afford a google pixel then go ahead if not i advice with the Nexus 5x, it has a wonderful camera especially with the HDR+ . but if u want a bigger size then go for the Oneplus 3T. but staying in google phones would be better to keep having the latest software updates.

Not a good deal.
I got mine in around 300 usd.
It ll be good if you can wait for oneplus 5
Imo check the new nokia smartphones running android. Not sure if they are available yet though, but they seem very promising. (Bottom line all devices don't differ greatly in their respective price categories, but Nokia is supp. offering regular updates regarding security patches, which is kinda yummy imo)
If you can get it for cheap then maybe. 400 no I wouldn't. If root and rooms your thing then no go. Development dien out Phone has quality issues as well. Like others have said above your better off with onePlus phone.
Hey,
am about to buy a new phone and am a bit conflicted.
My main goal is actually to have a smaller phone and great battery life.
Would you rather buy the LG G6 or the Galaxy s8? I would like to hear it from ppl who use the G6 that's why I created this thread.
Thanks in advance!
as I've been told by some friends, battery life might suck on the s8 ( I'm pretty fine with the g6's battery atm ) and i can't find any comparison videos 'cause all of them are about the s8+ vs g6, not the regular one. if you're going for the s8+ and not the s8, that should be your go to phone. if I had the possibility, I would go for s8+, not the s8 nor g6.
This message is from g6 plus 128
S7 edge 32 is better than this thing
It aged much better. Has amazing support and much better value
So s8 of course is a better choice specially speed and updates
The thing is, it's hard for people to say which one's better, since most people only have one of them. But by looking at the spec sheet, the s8 wins. However, my experience with the g6 has been very pleasant, everything from battery life to the camera have been very good (except for software updates). So if you are going to buy the 64gb lg g6 (h870ds), keep two things in mind. You might have to wait until August to get oreo, and the h870ds variant isn't bootloader unlockable (meaning you can't root it).

I will read again about it, but as far as Í can see at least the bootloader won't be locked on the dual sim models.
If you find a smaller alternative that looks good and has a similar CPU and good battery life + good custom ROM support, I would also buy that. So far only seen s8 in that direction
For anyone interested in a battery comparison: https://www.phonearena.com/reviews/LG-G6-Review_id4323/page/4
LG G6 is preferable only if you have expensive high impedance headphones. Otherwise for the same price S8 looks better.
I wouldn't buy Sammy where Xiaomi or Meizu offer same performance for half price.
