YAWN - Galaxy Note 4 General

That's it, Samsung?
I'm so disappointed at the unveiling of the Note 4, the big great uber phone I was hoping would replace my broken Note 2.
No IP certification, no front / stereo speaker, no bigger screen (Sony Z2 Ultra says Hi), lame...
This is going to be another slow seller...

Dev Request- Port Xperia Time-Shift App to Note 4

I've been looking for quite a while now for a similar app to the iPhones slow motion editing software and have come up empty handed. Not only that, but excuse after excuse on why Android doesn't support it, or the hardware can't support it, all BS. Sony came out with "time-shift" in the Z2, which shows there is no hardware problem, only software. The quality of the time-shift is really good and on par with the iPhone 5s/6/6+.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSoPwAJvrQs
The Time-Shift app has been ported successfully to the Z1 but not to other android phones. The Xperia phones all use Snapdragon 800/801 proccessors and Sony IMX220 sensors, which is pretty much what all 2014 flagships run (Note 4 is an imx240, still an Exmor RS sensor). The Sony devs have been great getting it ported to other Xperia devices and I'm hoping there is someone around here that can do work and get it working on the Note and possibly other Android phones.
I'm willing to put down 100 dollars towards a dev that can get it working on the Note 4, maybe some sort of bounty, and I'm willing to do more if that is what it takes.
Right now I have a note 3 for personal use but also a Note 4 here at the shop that I can do some testing with also.
Any news ?

Note 5 alternatives that are better and cheaper

My Note 4 will be my last phone from Samsung.
Now thinking of the LG G4 Pro when it comes out or there's the new Motorola X Style coming out next month for only £359.99:
http://blog.clove.co.uk/2015/08/14/pre-order-motorola-x-style-359-99-coming-september/
When you compare the specs of this phone and the price to the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ 32GB – £600 including VAT (£500+VAT) 64GB – £680 including VAT (£566.67+VAT) you can see how Samsung are rapidly becoming the new Nokia.
Perhaps they shouldn't rely on 'focus groups' so much?
Don't know if cheaper but I'll be moving to LG g4 pro hopefully if it has what I want. Contract expires soon

Yes, the G Pro 4 as the lad above me said, it will be a really heavy hitter. Or...
...the previous Notes, 3 and 4.
True, no 64 bit processors, but the Note 4's camera is comparable to the one in the Note 5, also removable battery, also the same 2K screen.
The Note 3 - camera is obviously weaker, but due to the screen not being 2K, doesn't drain the battery so much, plus we have ports of the Note 4 and S6. The phone is still powerful even today. And these days it's dirt cheap.
Or if you don't care about battery life too much, wait for the new Nexuses. I'm eyeing the Nexus 5 (2015) cause rumors claim it will be Full HD screen instead of 2K + the Snapdragon 820 inside.
Thanks, Samsung, for a 3000 mAh battery in a phone that could have had 4000 easily, and this bull***t "why use your phone for longer when you can charge it faster"? F*** logic.
If my only upgrade options are with pathetic battery life, I think I'll get pathetic battery life with pure Android.
I've also read that the Nexus 5 (15) is going to have the 620 snapdragon.
Yes... The Moto X PE

I don't think we're going to see a phone with the Snapdragon 820 until 2016. I'd love to be proven wrong though. It just got announced.
Best hope we have is a G4 Pro with the full Snapdragon 810 that doesn't overheat and with all we wanted in the Note (removable battery, SD card) and of course what you would expect in a flagship (awesome screen - probably with LG it will be IPS, top end camera, and the other features). I'd love for a return to a Nexus with a removable battery and storage but I don't think that is happening.
The last LG G pro, the LG G pro 2 wasn't released for the US market. Maybe the LG G pro 3 will be different.
The LG g4 isn't really an option because it has inferior graphics performance vs the note 4 and almost no development support.
Anyway I'm going to give the Note 5 a try. If I don't like it, I have 14 days to return it.

Don't be so dramatic . Enjoy your note4, it's a great phone, the s6 is a great phone too, the note5 is a mistake when you consider its predecessors only. Next year Samsung might wisen up and make a great phone again

HTC and Motorola have both done the same thing. They both removed expandable storage and then restored it.
The HTC M7 and Moto X both lacked microsd card support. The HTC restored expandable storage in the M8 and M9 while motorola restored it in the Moto X style.
The best alternative to the Note 5? You already own it, it's called the Note 4!
With that said, if you really don't need the Wacom pen (I do), I'd also have suggested the LG G4 or the Moto X Style/Pure if you can also do without a removable battery, with the latter's strongest selling point being that it works on just about any network you can imagine, no countless variants with locked-out bands like everyone who isn't Apple or Google tends to do.
I still don't believe the LG G4 Pro is a thing until it gets officially announced, but if they stop faffing about with capacitive styluses and put a proper Wacom digitizer in there, they're gonna steal all of the Galaxy Note users ticked off by the Note 5 in one fell swoop.

I'm using a Note 3 and its wonderful. I bought TWO Note 1's. The first one got flakey after a year and I didn't like the Note 2 cause of the narrower screen so I got another Note 1. Now I've upgraded to the Note 3 and the software (AryaMod 7.2 + a kernel with memory compression) is really maturing, I have a 128GB SD which I'll soon upgrade to 200GB, 256GB or 512GB depending on prices at the end of the year. The Note 3 was the great leap forward.
The Note 4 was an incremental step over the Note 3. I bit of a step backwards losing USB 3.0. But otherwise its a Note 3+
The Note5 is an evil degenerative troll. They should just cancel it and wait till next year.
Hopefully sales will be so bad that they will be compelled to release a fixit version of the Note 5 with SD, and either removable battery or make the silly thing water proof to give you a reason the battery can't be removed.
The Note5 is an abomination. Stick with the Note 3 or 4 till the Note 6 comes out.

Really I think it will be a good phone, one of the best on the market but for note4 and s6 owners this phone won't be a straight upgrade more of a sidegrade, where you sacrifice some functionality for other functionality. It shouldn't have been, it should have a clear upgrade
The Note 5 has a lot of competition
The Huawei Mate 8 is launching next month.
Add this to the growing list of Note 5 alternatives:
http://vinereport.com/article/huawei.mate.8.mate.8.to.be.officially.released.in.ifa.new.phone.will.have.front.facing.led.flash.for.front.cam/2344.htm
That mate 8 phone sounds really impressive but these phones need to have some kinda pen especially since their bigger .. I hope the g4 pro ends up releasing
Biggest problem is every damn phone out there have somefunction wich is missing compared to N4
Exempel. Most phones dont have IR like moto
Removabale battery
The S pen and muti window
Support for my Gear S
No wireless charging
And other small stuff... So whatever damn phone i look at is missing functions
Im stickning with my N4 and dont know why we all Gotta chnage phones..mine is great.
Btw. Note 3 owners. Uppgrade to N4 i have them both at Home and n4 is better and worth it.

For me, the main festure I want that Samsung has now failed on with both the Note 4 and Note 5, is a larger screen than my Note 3. All the things they did taking steps backwards with the Note 5, is just adding insult to injury for me. I don't care what the hell was in the phone, if it still a has a "small ass" 5.7 inch screen, I don't want it. Now I'm completely ready to jump to another manufacturer, after having the original Note and then Note 3, as long as someone comes out with a high end phone with a larger screen than 5.7 inches.

I definitely agree in that the Note 3 was the biggest leap forward, given the jump to 1080p, USB 3.0, S800, IR blaster and so forth.
The Note 4 lost USB 3.0, ambient temp and humidity sensors for whatever dumb reason, but I do like the fast charge, pen tilt sensitivity and Gear VR it brought to the table. It probably helped that I was coming from an S3 (would've been a Note 2 if I had my way); coming from a Note 3, you'd gain a lot less, even losing a little.
But you'd lose a lot less than going to the Note 5. Samsung really screwed us this time, and I can only hope they realize their error by bringing back everything with the Note 6.

S7 Edge or Note 6

Hi gang i`m due for a new phone in April and as much as the gorgeous S7 Edge looks appealing the rumours that starts lingering about the Note 6 sounds very promising but that phone is at least 4 months away, what's your thinking?

What's the point of this thread? We barely have any rumors on N6, nor any real info. It's too soon to compare the two - because you can't.

I think, you should wait for note 6, there are two reasons for that:
1) u'll get spen and more improvements over s series.
2) in countries like india, there will be a price cut after few months, u'll be able to get better deals if u wanted to go for a s7 edge.
I gotta admit that this is pretty pointless thread, but we all love tech and stuff so, here is my opinion:
I'd wait for the note 6. While the s7 edge is certainly appealing, it will suffer a strong price drop as all samsung phones do in the first months. Hence, waiting for the note 6 will not only give you clarity about whether or not you like the note 6, but it also will make the decision to go with the s7 edge less expensive. Looking at the differences between the s6 and s7, I'd argue that samsung will do pretty much the same thing with the note 6: Same processor and camera like the s7, bigger battery, refined design, more software features, slightly larger display, micro-sd slot. I highly doubt that they will increase the amount of RAM to like 6GB though. It will stay at 4GB I guess.
To sum it up: if you need/want the S-Pen, wait for the note. If you don't, go for something else.
I'd definitely wait for the Note 6.. 5.7" vs 5.5" for the S7 edge.. and if it sees the same battery capacity bump it's likely to have ~4000mAh with the S Pen bonus and other optimizations to the OS
I purchased the regular S7 as I wamted something a bit smaller, but haven't been entirely satisfied as I do miss the s-pen and larger screen (the screen on the S7 edge is really irritating). So I'm going to get the Note 6 once it launches.
I agree about jumping the gun but it's only because i`m due for a new phone in 2 weeks time, l love my Note 4 which is why I was wondering if l should stick with the Note family .

i gave my wife my s7 edge and im waiting for the note 6.. im back on my note 4 atm and happy i gave the s7 edge away
I am following news about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 6. There are rumors about the next Galaxy Note will come with great new features, except a downgraded display with only 1024 pressure points.
(Source: "http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_6_rumored_to_come_with_whoppin g_6gb_ram_58inch_display-news-16649.php")
Quote:"In addition, the rumor also notes that the handset's screen will be pressure-sensitive with 1,024 pressure points. This, however, doesn't seem correct as it's a downgrade from the Note5, which already has 2,048 pressure points."
My question is, how relevant are pressure points, and how may it affect the general use? (Couldn't find anything specific on the web).
Also, is this possible? Can Samsung decide to "Downgrade" their display on the Note 6 compared to previous phones?

i prefer having a non edge phone ... i realized im not going to use the edge features and didnt like how i had to use it differently (holding etc) also i didnt like the tall and thin screen style .. prefer the notes wider stance
I just got the s7 and happy I did! Its an amazing phone and blazing fast. The camera is top notch! I also use my note 4 as a secondary phone and while using both, there is a huge step above with the s7. The note 5 was never released in Europe and if they do bring the note 6 here, I will give my wife the s7 LOL
note 6 for me. upgrade in september, so perfect timing. don't like the s7.
Wait for the Note 6, the Note phones tend to set the standard for at least the following 1.5years.
The Note 6 is said to bring:
5.8inch display
6GB RAM
IP68 protection
And of course the SPen and its software that still to this day set the Note range apart from everything else on the market.
Gladly waiting for the Note 6 as nothing so far has matched the Note 4.

The Edge devices also tend to feel very fragile.
I agree, the Note tends to have a far more solid build and stance. Its like comparing a Range Rover Evoque (Edge) to the big body Range Rover Vogue Autobiography (Note).

I have been using Note4 for one year bought a s6 edge+ 64gb .broke it when it dropped from just 0.5m hieght on a carpeted floor
The screen was shattered completely although the phone had a spigen rugged cover on. The repair was very expensive nearly 1/3 price of the phone.
Sold it the day i recieved it back after repair. And will stick to my Note4 , its the best phone for me using it with a 128GB Sandisk sdcard
Advice: Dont buy a Note Edge phone if you have fumbling hands.
if an upgrade is necessary and you can bare the smaller screen on S7 i.e 5.1 inch go ahead.
otherwise wait for Note 6.
I am thinking of shifting to some other brand e.g Xperia X performance may be amazing.. As i am fedup of fragile glass build phones . and xperia x perfomance is not made of glass by sony this time.
i think note 6 is not right choice it will be the first device supporting Type-C that meaning you will faces a lot of troubles with it
my current plan upgrading to S7E then waiting for Note 7 or S8E
one more thing .... Samsung will forced to make a big step forward in S8E and N7 because Chinese manufactures has got a big piece of market cake .
if you just waiting for N6 you will not get any real development compared with S7E

Most Compelling feature to buy Note 8

As all the Samsung enthusiasts would know by now that, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is Officially out. Let us discuss here, would you buy Note 8; if so, what is the most compelling reason for you to buy it.
Practically, I feel Note 8 is just a blown out version of S8+ with Stylus and Dual Camera. But it is just my thought. Let us find what other like you think about the product?
Consider the 4th Option 6.3'' Quad HD+ Display as 6 GB RAM. Sorry for the Typo
NOTE:
Sure there many other features (some listed below) that exists too, but these features do exist in S8+. My intention is just to know, what makes you to choose Note 8 instead of S8+ (that have all the features that are listed below)
Snapdragon 835 chip/Exynos 8895 10 nm FinFET Processor
IP 68 Water & Dust Resistant
Infinity Display
Corning Gorilla Glass 5
Bixby Voice Assistant
Finger Print, Iris, Face Recognition Security Features
Samsung Pay (NFC & MST Payment)
Wireless Charging
USB Type C
3.5mm headphone Jack
Bluetooth 5.0
Micro SD Card Support
Dual SIM Options
LTE Cat. 16
Wi-Fi: 802.11a/b/g/n/ac
nothing COMPELLING about any phone...hear that apple lemmings???
and yea i think a just a bit wider than 8+ with a pen
I would imagine, I don't know, that the S-pen would be the major selling point of the Note 8? I wouldn't change from my SGS8+ just for the extra camera, no way, nor the extra 2GB. Nope, its the S-pen that has always made the note....'The note'. Though I have just pre-ordered the Note 8 I am a tad disappointed Samsung didn't at the very least add stereo to the Mobile. The differences between the S8+ and the Note 8 are, apart from the S-pen, minimal to say the least.
Having written that I must consider those changing up from other than the SGS8+ such as the Note 4 or 5 etc.

Spen, camera, and 6gb are what sold me.

Battery guaranteed not to explode!
Without the Wacom pen, the Galaxy Note is just an unremarkable big phone. Nobody else dares to compete with Samsung in that regard, and it pisses me off when they could easily do so. LG V10 or V20 with an active pen? Goodbye, Samsung!
But as it stands, I have another big reason for wanting one: my prized Note 4 isn't supposed to work outside of Sprint, but does so anyway thanks to some GalaxyTools/idoneapps unlock trickery. It just works suboptimally on T-Mobile now, lack of LTE bands and dismal call quality/not even 3G reception as of late.
The Note 8 won't have that issue due to having a unified North American variant... with an irritating locked bootloader, but I'm sure someone will find a way around that.
100 pages of notes with the screen off. will save a lot of battery.
Because it's a Note and not a Galaxy S device. ?

The pen ofcourse because it makes the phone unique from any s series that came before. It gives you about 30 more features in your phone. Writing notes on always on display and pinning it is quite intersting.

I agree and can't understand why so many of our respected peers voted for the camera? The whole idea of the 'Note' is the S-pen, The note series is really the S series plus a pen........The camera set up should have come with the SGS8 and 8+ but oddly didn't?
If I didn't place the S-pen at the top of my list I would keep my SGS8+ and not change until the SGS9+ comes out next year.

I believe that the camera really is the trump card for the Note...and really the only reason I am ordering it. Samsung seems to have taken a step backwards on the innovation regarding this device. Essentially it is a N7 with dual cameras... nothing more

No confrontation on my part. Just trying to understand your logic. So you go buy a leather brief case to store your documents in to travel but then place said documents in a cloth back pack?
The 'Note' is all about the S-pen that's why its called the Note series and not the S series that in reality does most of what the Note does but without the productivity of the Notes S-pen.
On this one occasion the Note differs in that it introduces dual cameras but in the future all the S series will have dual cameras starting with the S9.
If you don't need the leather brief case, the S-pen, then why not purchase the S series. :good:
You are far from unique in purchasing a Note and not using the S-pen. I had exactly the same debates on the Note 7 forum. If one doesn't need the pen, buy the less expensive S7.
Ryland
I hear people complaining about how it's no different from a Note 7 or that Samsung didn't innovate. What are people expecting? for it to make you dinner? Aside from an on-screen fingerprint reader, I don't see much that could make it a game-changer.

I hear ya,however,it hasn't been the Swiss Army knife it once was.
Performance improvement,HellYeah,no doubt about it,every year it gets a bit better.
However,on my wish list & for some of us here,would be a huge welcome,whether it be for work or play:
A ruggedized version al la the Galaxy S Active.
Throw a couple front-firing speakers on it as well & I can for once & for all,forgive Samsung for taking our I-R Blaster & removable battery away......
S pen, just in general. Not because of the "advanced features". I always have my phone with me, and not always something to write with, this remedies that problem. Can use it for quick diagrams or directions and random notes. Since I broke my note 4 a year and a half ago I have missed that functionality. Had the Note 7 and you know the story there. Have had htc 10, lg v10 and currently still using the z force. With all these phones I have missed the funcrionality of the pen. It is not often needed, but when it is, nothing beats having it.
I will say I used the pen more than I thought I would on my note 7. I will agree for the price we pay for the note 8. Dual from speakers would be nice and not that cheap ass mono speaker that Samsung seems to love.
I don't know how the s8 preformance over the note 8 is but I do know my note 7 was smoother and faster than my S7 and S7 edge that I had. I like the note for its size and hope this one isn't long and narrow like the S7 edge was. I could do without the edge screen. Just allows a greater chance for the screen to crack like happened to my S6 edge +. Over all I hope I'll be happy with the note 8. Really I guess we buy it because it's the note and no other manufacturer makes anything like it.

Note 9 The Best

It almost 2019 and we have seen a lot of devices coming out. After looking at all the devices I think I have made the right choice of buying Note 9. I mean everything is amazing in this device build quality, display, performance, and battery its a combination of those in a perfect way.
The Smartphone of the Year is Note 9.

Yea it is amazing except charging speed not great at all
And camera at night not great like my old p20 pro
But overall note 9 is impressive
For the price I disagree. It's a nice phone my first note but I should have waited for the s10. I only got it for the bogo deal which is actually a rip off with Verizon since I have the old unlimited plan. End up paying 55 a month for the second phone and will end up paying it off soon cuz that will end up costing more if I don't. The 5G S10 looks enticing and might end up upgrading lol

Agreed. With the new s10 not having a headphone jack, I don't think I'll be interested in it at all.
Yes P20 pro is better

Yes I agree that P20 pro has better camera compare to Note9.
But P20 pro is a device which is mainly designed for camera

Yep, also I cannot do a notch screen on my phone. I hate it. I had an LG V10 a while back and that was as far as I was willing to go with a non rectangular screen. I actually really liked the build of that phone.
note 9 is one of these devices that will never happen again in a long time period. but SAMSUNG is at that point where u expect everything so no one appreciate anything. and this is coming from a note9 / oneplus 6 red user and i love using both, so not a fanboy here
software wise, they talk about vanilla android experience with pixels or half a second faster with oneplus or iphones, in the same time i cant see any of these phones have multi window support (i mean real multitasking not 2 apps opened in the same time) for apps ! none have 2 apps in 2 windows running at the same time, none can run 2 Bluetooth devices out of the box, none have the magnificent gallery or edge shortcuts or other samsung addons.
also for the camera:
one of the best hands down, and yes huawei and pixel are better for photos "on auto" but note9 has 4k 60 fps, better sound recording, and unmatched multiple super slow motion recording
now screen wise, hands down the best. design, is awesome notch-less design, battery is great, headphone jack, ip68, dual speakers, DEX and VR and 360 cam and other accessories.
oh and lately i read and hear oh huawei or oneplus is so generous with in box accessories! i mean really ? they have usb2 to usb c dongle or OTG dongle or AKG headphones or quality case u can actually use in the box ??
but again, samsung is doing this for a long time, no one expect less.
I actually came from a pixel 3xl. Lovely phone, good battery and the camera was just insane.
Swapped for my note 9, and I don't regret it at all. It's better phone, the battery is ridiculous - on 4hr sot at 50% - and it's just fun to use without being boring. The camera is good but just no way near the pixel, however the Bluetooth pen and taking photos from afar makes up for it with my daughter!

Android authority after testing a lot of devices even they agree that Note 9 has the best Display.
Note 9 the best
I'm so happy I picked up s note 9. I had reservations because the note 10 but now seeing s10 Is going with camera hole in the display that's off the table for me until they can hide it. Imagine if TVs had that hahaha
I just got a Note 9. The first Note I had since original Note. I have used all the Nexus/Pixel devices through the years as my daily driver. I did try a S3 for awhile but couldn't get over all the bloatware. After using the Nexus 6P for 2 years I switched to the Pixel XL 2. What a nightmare that phone was. Between the hardware issues and new bugs with each update I got rid of it for a S9+ What a nice peice of hardware. A couple of weeks ago I had a choice between Pixel XL 3 or iPhone Xs Max. I went with the Max. Couldn't get use to iOS and the Max made me want a bigger screen so I ended up with the Note 9.
What a terrific device. I love Ubuntu on Dex and found a few features of the S Pen to be handy too.
I no longer care about fast buggy updates and quality means everything to me now. I'm
My problems with more 9 are
Camera is average
Battery is not great at night and shutter speed is bad
Fast charging is a joke
Sound form headphone Jack is ugly besides my old nex s

Note 9
In my opinion, the Note series has always been the best phone on the market for the given period.
I'm new to this Note 9 960f/DS and it is a Beauty and Beast! Luv it...

The same can be said for just about every single phone and its eventual successor.
The Note 9 is the last of its breed - big screen, big battery, no notch, headphone jack, good camera.

Yes If you compare the device with the price then there will be only a few devices which can be sold. Even if you do the comparison also Note 9 is best at that price in my point.

I don't think the Note9 camera is AVERAGE. I would say that the camera captures decent pictures with high quality.
And the battery life is good it lasts a day.
But I agree that sound quality is not up to the mark.
And it is here the official Android authority report says that the Best readers choice award and the best Phone of the year is the Note 9. Once again we proved that Note 9 is Best.
