I think most of us are not happy Samsung have moved RE Note 5... So what's your next phone... I'm thinking LG 4 pro.. Shame no other phone with pen though.
I'm very likely to take a Nexus but only if they make progress on battery life and APN.
My biggest problem right now is that no other brand has an AMOLED screen as good as the Note 4/5.

I am going to wait for the Note 6, and if that is as bad as the 5, then I am looking at LG, Sony, Huawei and Moto for whatever 5.7inch or above smartphone they have.
I'm hoping the Note 6 brings back everything we liked about the Note 4 and then some, now that Samsung's really seen the backlash from users that could've remained loyal.
If not, I'll just replace my Note 4 if anything happens to it with another Note 4, if nobody else nails the microSD + removable battery + Wacom pen holy trinity.
Failing that, the LG G4 and Moto X Pure/Style look like my next best bets. Too bad the latter still lacks a removable battery, but at least the network support is off the charts!
OnePlus had already billed its top-branded phone to be a “2016 Flagship Killer,” and now we have a new smartphone called Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. So, let’s compare these two devices to check the features in detail.
WTF does this have to do with the OnePlus 3?!
Also go play somewhere else if you take their marketing slogans too seriously...
You should post it on Nokia threads.

So... The Note 8 is out... Its a great Device! But 1000€ its exaggerated!!
How many Note 4 users will go to the 8? I think not so many...
I'm still happy with my 3 years old Device... (Already with Dr.Ketan's Rom)
Can we hope to a Note 8 porting or witch Rom can you recommend?
Or should i start to save money? [emoji39]
I just ordered a Mate 9 from Newegg today. I seen the price of the Note 8 and my thought was the same ($1200 + tax Canadian here). I'm on my 2nd Note 4 now and this one has the eMMC issue too. So from the reviews the Mate 9 seems like a close contender with the S8 (At this point I don't care about custom roms for it)

i will go N8 if same price with N4 lmao
is too expensive with 128gb or 64gb
or i must wait until my N4 die forever
I was going to buy one but I really think the Note 4 is still doing the business for me and can not see the benefit
Note 4 is doing great job for me for now. Even if my phone dies, wont give so much money for a phone.
i ended up preordering the n8 at 12:01 AM on the 24th. I love my note 4, and now even more so since I picked up the 10000 mha zerolemon extended battery. But I really want a new phone. I will hang on to the note 4 for a long time, it has a special place in my heart.
Was happy with my Note 4 (running Norma V20) untill my girlfrien got a Samsung S8+.
Then my note suddenly was crap
Bought the Oneplus 5, and daaaaaaamn this phone is fast and smooth! Kinda miss the S-Pen and bigger screen but daaaaaaamn the speed on the Onepluss overweights everything. Much faster than the S8+ to my girlfriend also.
i have the motherboard freezes and reboots and my camera front glas is damaged. i realy need a new phone
i paid for the N8 600$ with provider bonus, i think thats a nice price.
Well my note 4 is still better , infrared is an essential tool for me and note 8 dont have it... I guess I will wait until note 9[emoji14]
Way too overpriced, so I am gonna pass on that. My note 4 is still running like day one, minus the battery which can be replaced easily replaced.
I'm extremely disappointed with Note 8.
Curved edges (without any alternative) mean that the screen will be much more fragile, and will give you glares on the edges. It is both more fragile AND more expensive to replace than flat screens (we've seen that since S7 edge). If that's not enough, the back is now not durable, it's made of glass and you can break it too.
For me personally, one of the biggest NOs of Note 8 is its heavy weight: 200 grams is much more than already too heavy 167 grams of Note 4. About 3 years ago i have changed Galaxy S3 (100 grams) to Note 4 (176 grams) and the change was drastic... It hurts to talk half an hour or more on Note 4, and in general it's too heavy. I sense its weight all the time, every day, and every day wish it were lighter.
The battery is not removable, and it's real PITA. In my Note 4 a battery fully lasts only 1 year, then starts degrade like crazy (overheating during charge; phone turns off at 5, then 10, then 30% etc). I have got my 3rd battery already! With Note 4, maybe would be able to replace it via service center, but it will be more time consuming, more expensive, you will get your device disassembled so it will no longer be like new (lots of glued parts inside), and you will have to trust all your confidential or sensitive data to be given to the service center with your phone.
Why only QuickCHarge 2 is supported (like in Note 4), why not at least QuickCharge 3??
Where are real innovations? Like no bezels screen (Xiaomi Mi Mix 2, or Sharp Aquos Crystal 2), or stereo speakers (last years' ZTE Axon 7)???
This phone costs 500€ or less. 500€ is an absolute maximum one should pay for note 8 at the start of the sales (assuming all the abovementioned minuses), and then the price should drop. I would probably pay no more than 300€, as curved screen and non-removable battery just impose so much programmed obsolesce, that i refuse to invest more.
Realistically, i'm still on Note 4 with a refreshed battery, with an optimized rooted rom and efficient kernel (android 4.4.4), everything flies, and i do not upgrade as i have seen too many negative complaints about 5.x and 6.x ROMS. The device is fast and fits my needs (except being too heavy), however I really want a new, faster device with more modern OS, preferably Android O.
In the short term, if an Android O ROM will become available for N910F, i'll give it a go.
In the long term, i guess i will be migrating to a reasonably price edgeless device (must be QHD Amoled, preferable 6.2-6.3), very likely Xiaomi Mi Mix 2.
Samsung just leaves no other options, it does ignore its customers' needs.
I'm begrudgingly moving to the Note 8 because I have no other penabled smartphone options on the market; this is a niche Samsung has all to itself until someone dares to compete.
Normally, I'd keep the Note 4 still, but I'm in a bit of an unusual predicament: an unofficially SIM-unlocked Sprint N910P variant on T-Mobile since the end of January, largely because we all know what happened to the Note 7 and I didn't want to chance buying another Note 4 with all this talk of eMMC failures. Lately, I can't even get 3G on T-Mo for some reason despite it having worked before (4G never worked because Sprint locked out the bands on their variant), and my call quality's turned to crap.
In short, my hand was forced due to a carrier switch resulting in subpar network performance on my current phone, and had my family heeded my advice two years ago, we would've switched that much sooner.
At least Samsung will take $200 off for trading in an old S5 in working order, and we've got a pair of Sprint S5s not doing much anyway since the switch. That makes the cost of the Note 8 a bit easier to stomach, alongside the pre-order promo... but only a bit. (Ironically, they wouldn't take Note 4s for trade-in, but there's no way in hell I'm giving up mine like that anyway. I like having an IR blaster for those things I didn't get remotes with!)
As a bonus, I won't have to deal with any carrier branding BS this time. If there's an unlocked variant that costs as much as all the major carrier-locked variants anyway, sometimes even a bit less, why the heck would anyone NOT get the SIM-unlocked version? (Bootloader unlocking is probably a pipe dream for North American models now, though. Thanks a lot, Samsung... if not for import models being even more expensive for a litany of reasons, I would've gone that route.)

I'm still on the original Note 4 and also have a brand new spare one that I have never had to use. That may be going on eBay!
Think I'm gonna wait until my upgrade is due in December to see how this pans out. Not too sure about the lack of capacitive buttons but the dual 12mp camera is a biggie for me. Hopefully a working root will be in place to disable Bixby and all the other Samsung crap.
Found out today I have a permanent 25% discount with Vodafone UK so £45 a month is acceptable.

No. Note 8 has the same hardware as the Oneplus 5, but has bloatware OS instead of "stock" android.
So it will be slower.
How are you feeling after moving to P30 Pro?
Is the photo quality too different?
And about the battery life?
Enviado de meu VOG-L29 usando o Tapatalk
Battery almost the same. You will miss the speakers and headphones and huge screen
P30 is smoother better camera and smaller and screen actually is better calibrated
Can’t think of any other differences

Is the difference on camera quality huge?
I'm with a P30 Pro. Enjoying it. But I was thinking in giving it to my wife, and get a M20X, because of the screen size (I read a lot on cellphone). I'm afraid if I will lose too much on camera quality.

Camera quality on the P30 Pro is significantly better than the M20X in my opinion. Not sure if it would be a deal breaker for you or not, but there is a difference.

Zoom and night shots yes it's huge trust me even without the nightmode activated on the p30 pro it's still better.
Also video is smoother less clumsy stutters and better specially in cinematic video effects
Thanks guys.
So I think I will keep my P30 Pro (and probably buy the next M6 Tab).
Enviado de meu VOG-L29 usando o Tapatalk
Mate 20 x Huge, difficult to handle.
P30 pro, elegant, nice camera, smooth , suitable for daily use.
Performance and UI is almost the same.
So I've just bought both to try as I did already have the xperia ii once already but sent it back as I thought the note would be better ?
I have both side by side playing the same hdr video and the xperias quality with the display is amazing compared to the note 20 ultra can someone explain how as the note is ment to have the best display on the market?
Even the brightness isn't a big jump between them both again considering the note is ment to be over twice as bright as the xperia
Granted the note is a bigger display but everything looks yellowish on it and I've set it to cool in the display settings aswell
And the 120hz to me in my opinion doesn't make a massive difference over the xperia 60hz
I also am unlucky to be in the region for the exyonos version here in the UK :crying:
Safe to say think ill be keeping the xperia not to mention on my tariff its half the price of the note
The key statement here is the fact that you have the exynos version. The Snapdragon 865+ version of the Note Ultra is a different beast
Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
Samsung has a bigger marketing team, that is why everyone thinks that their screens are the best.
Exynos is the biggest joke if compared to the 865 Snapdragon.
120 Hz only works only lower resolution, not on the highest setting.
Sony has it beat in display, battery and speed snapdragon or not. Cameras are both excellent but the sony is so unique to anything else on the market.

Snapdragon version of Note 20 ultra is averaging between 7 and 9 hours of SOT. Now to make it clear I'm not hating on Sony, i love Sony. I'm a fan of their products. I just constantly wish they didn't hamper their flagships, it's not even so much the lack of the high refresh panel, it's the dinky battery they always put into their phones. I could never get through a whole day with any Experia phones.

My only grip just wished the display got brighter don't suppose there is any tweaks to help? other then that I'm happy with the battery ect
I've been a Samsung and Sony fanboy for years mainly Samsung and there note lineup but think they have messed it up a bit this year best device I've had from Samsung was the note 9

It's a great phone, but for $1299 couldn't they have a higher refresh panel and 500mah bigger battery. 4,000mah on a 4k giant display is just not good enough. On Apple it would be apptimized to last. On Android, not so much. Hopefully Android 11 is better on the battery life.

I've got the same SOT on my xperia 1 II [emoji6]
Nowadays phones with equal battery size have nearly the same SOT.
Personally I've never cared about that, power socket are everywhere and If you need to leave for 48h or more you would have need to charge the phone anyway.

Are you performing any power saving saving options? Make sure the brightness is low, try to use wifi or do you use it to its max capabilities? Maybe I had a lemon, because I couldn't get past 5 1/2 to 6 hours max on my unit

It was just the time I happened to take it off the charger. If i took it off around 9 am then it would be hovering around 20 some odd percent with that screen on time by 9pm instead of 12 am. Still an Impressive SOT, no?

With the announcement of the xperia 5ii are the rumours true that we will get the 120hz refresh rate and the faster touch input?
Also is black frame insertion a hardware thing or could that also be added
Also to point out the sony has a 4k resolution with a 10bit display panel and bt2020 colour and the note 20 ultra is only 8bit and 709 rec colour.
You can check using display mate app from playstore for both phones.

It has been stated that Note 20 panel isn't 120Hz all the time. and also there is still no QHD+120Hz option.
You have to choose either high refresh or high resolution. 90%+ of the time, Note 20 ultra is at 60Hz.

If you can tell 1440 vs 1080 on a 6.9 panel then great. I run it in 120hz and yes it's variable, so when I'm reading something it saves bettery. Duh
