How is the sound and the volume on the back speaker compared to Note 3 and HTC One?
Can you please clear...that all specs are TOTALLY same as Note 4 (except screen size and battery)?
And
5.6 inch screen size is with Edge Screen or without it?

Sound is hard to tell, I don't have it in a quiet room. It definitely fells way better in the hand then the note 3, the edge is nice and thin but feels more like the note 3, it doesn't feel as good in hand. Their but noticeably bigger then the g3.

Can't really measure it, but it is quite a bit wider and more thin then the n4
Screen brightness + sunlight viewability equal or better than S5 and Note 3?

I'm inside and can't compare but what I can say is, that I can't really notice a drastic improvement over the screen on the note 3.
How is the sound in headphones on the note 4 compared to note 3/s5 is it louder or the same.
Any TouchWiz improvements?

Simply: keep them side by side with manual maximum brightness ( same screen mode ). Blank white screen will tell you more.

It's a tiny bit toned down but you won't forget you're using a galaxy device.

A very good read:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/8497/note-4-and-mate-7-sidebyside
Quote from that:
I'd say Samsung made a very good choice in staying at 5.7" and not going larger. Immediately visible was the difference in screen quality. The Note 4 was a lot brighter, and due to the large size of the screens, the 1080p vs 1440p was quite noticeable to me.

um really not bother if a single or a group of person claims there is no drastic change/improvement, that is his/her vision and perception. It is not as if I was dying to see a radical change in screen, it is about gradual improvement and evolution

that white note 4 looks so sexy.
Does the Edge hinder the multi window dock on the right?
Any way to do a battery life comparison between the Note 4 and Edge?
How is the performance compared to the Note 3 (web browsing, opening pdf, taking notes) =?
Thought I'd get a thread ready for when devices start rolling out in a few weeks...
If it's as good as the S7 Edge with SPEN then it'll be perfect for most folks. Should spend time in the TMOB S7 Edge forums to find the quirks.

I've lurked in there for quite a while... I ordered a S7 when it first hit but cancelled it before I ever got it due to locked bootloader....
I told myself regardless of locked bootloader I want the N7 so I'm making the jump...
The thing I like the least is that I can't find a tempered glass screen protector for my s7 edge so I am disappointed that a non edge version isn't being released.

Honestly though I don't think the work very well. My cousin has the s6 edge, and with the tempered glass and a case (uag I believe) on it caused all sorts of touch recognition issues. Could be dependent on case and all that, but still seems like a lot of trouble.
Anybody see that the Chinese version might have 6gb of memory, and 128gb of storage. http://www.gsmarena.com/galaxy_note7_to_have_a_6gb_128gb_version_after_all-news-19786.php

I wasn't really very impressed with what I saw online, but when I went to Best Buy to check it out I was sold. You really have to see it in person to appreciate it. The curved edge display is much less intrusive than previous edge models, I felt like I could hold onto it without worrying about dropping it (since I won't be using a case). It didn't feel laggy at all. The phone feels nice in my hand. I liked the silver a lot, but even just the reflection of the store lights was very distracting. The S-pen worked really well. I know a lot of people don't really use the S-pen but I use it all the time on my Note 4. I like the new S-pen features, the magnify and the translate. I'm glad they brought back the SD card, that's the reason I didn't buy the Note 5. I like the IP68 rating, that's a feature I really liked on my S5.
I don't like the absence of a removable battery, or that the phone is only available with the edge display. I'll never use the iris scanner so I feel like that's wasted space and resources. Would be nice if they kept the IR blaster, but honestly I've never used it on my Note 4. Black is pretty plain looking from the back, looks like cheap plastic to me, so we've got the fragile nature of "premium materials" with the look of cheap plastic.

I'm on a Note 4. The Note 7 and S7 are pretty durn similar, you won't be gaining much besides a little screen real estate, water resistance, and the S-pen.

Yours is a much better upgrade. The only reason I'm thinking of doing it is because I haven't used my Jump On Demand yet.

I have a s7 edge and I'm seriously considering it. Biggest reason is, and it may sound stupid, is because for 1 I want a different color than my silver. And for the bigger reason I think it has a wider side rail which should be easier to hold and reduce the accidental touches. And lastly because I can .

I pulled the trigger today and pre-ordered the Coral Blue.
What I like is that Note 7 finallly featurs water resistant and curved screen, which makes the phone more pratical and beautiful. What I dislike is that it doesn't have a bigger battery than S7 as Note 7 get bigger screen. What I care is the Note 7 whether supports Quick Charge 3.0?
Right now i'm currently with the official galaxy S8+ screen protector and i find it awesome, i was wondering if someone tried both the s8+ and s9+ samsung official screen protector and could tell me if they're the same or if there's any difference.

Maybe he meant for using on the Note 8.
Yes, since the samsung didn't make an official screen protector for note 8 i'm using the one made for the S8+ and it's pretty good. I'm curious to know if the one for S9+ is better or it's just the same.

I am surprised that the SGS8+ screen protector works on the Note 8. If it is a tempered glass one that is.
This is the link http://www.samsung.com/uk/mobile-accessories/screen-protector-fg955-galaxy-s8-plus/
This is TPU but the feel is good, the screen responvity is perfect and after a couple of days the mark of the S pen disappear. BTW they remain only when my 7yo nephew play with it, if i use the S pen i don't use a lot of strenght so i don't leave any mark
I've just switched to a Galaxy Note 8 from a Note 5 and, to my displeasure, I find that the 8's S Pen has somewhat lower sensitivity, i.e. I need to press it harder to make a click on the UI or draw a line.
I compared three S Pens, one from the Note 8 and two from the Note 5 (one original and one replacement). I did some tests on both of the phones with all the three pens, and I've tried the 8's pen tips with the 5's pens (they're compatible this way, but not the other way around).
That convinced me that the 8's S Pen is less sensitive. For example, please find attached a test when I tried to fill a line with strokes in an image editor with minimal pressure (you know, like a pencil stroke), and you can see that the 5's pen let me do that easier and smoother.
As the tests went the same on both phones, it's definitely the pens that are different.
I'd say the difference is considerable, as with my habits from the Note 5 S Pen I often fail to click a UI element with the 8's pen (it does not react on that little pressure which was enough with the 5's pen).
Have you experienced the same, or is it just my unit? If you have a Note 5's S Pen near at hand, I'd appreciate if you tried it.
Does it make sense to try and find a replacement S Pen for Note 8 or do I just have to deal with it?
I have a note, a note 3, a note 4, a note 7 and now a note 8, The s pen of the note 8 is by far, superior in every aspect to its predecessors
I don't think so. When compare to my old Note 4 N910C. I think the sensitivity of the S-Pen on both devices are similar
I have been using a tab3 pen and a statler pencil, work awesome. Both are available on Amazon. I just dont like how small the spen has become and for extended use the small size cramps my hands. That said , the note 8 spen seem to be as sensitive as the other 2, I usually dont press to hard , I am using a film type screen protector and dont want to leave marks on it. Only have had trouble with some crap nibs off of Amazon that I bought for the tab3 (I keep breaking them somehow).

I had this issue too. Try infinite painter, it works like normal in it.
Who else is pissed that they settled for the piss yellow pen? As soon as I received my 512 GB version Samsung decided to pull this 'apple like' move.
I jumped the gun due to the tmobile 500 dollar credit so ill probably just end up selling the note 9 for around 600-900 dollars.
I would refund to tmobile but not sure how they would handle my trade in (note 5)

Not pissed, but felt they would allow other colors to come to the US at some point. Just gonna roll on with the blue until the note 10 drop. Also I'm going to wait on color options before I buy.
Why would I be mad? Almost perfect phone. Cool blue. Nerdy stylus. Note 9 looks sweet in black though.

Are you saying how the plastic nibeets the glass. Nothing like paper and pencil. I like the sound effects though. ??
Love the blue! Also love the feel of the spen on a screen protector for taking notes. Close enough to pencil and paper for me.

I go back and forth between the armor suit and the phantom skinz. Armor Suit fits better but the spen marks stay a long time. The phantomskinz is the best feel, but everytime I put a spigen case on, it peels up on the bottom edges. Wish they would cut it just a hair smaller and they would have the best screen protector out there. Still, I would say give phantom skinz a try, cause spen works great on it.

Who cares what color the pen is? It's insane to get all worked up about it that you are willing to dump the phone to get a different color.
My blue Note 9 in a black case looks awesome! Problem solved. :good:
Don't care, it's going in a case.
