[Q] Should the next Note have a 6"-inch screen?

Screen type, size and resolution seem to be the crucial discerning factor for mobile phones. the Note 2 stepped up its size, and was an even bigger success than the Note 1. So should the next Note step up to a 6-inch screen ?
+1 Yes or -1 No?

It should be pocket size.

Yes, but only if the phone size stays the same

Well only if it has flexible screen because the galaxy S IV its coming 5" flexible super Amoled HD 440 ppi and I think that it's pretty hard to beat that since where are you gonna put the Spen with a flexible screen so I guess my next device its gonna be SIV
Tapatalking on my n7000

No please, if i want a bigger screened note i'll buy a 7".

Yes because being that much bigger won't matter much to me at all. This phone fits in my pocket with room to spare let's fill it up

If it has no bezel at all, then yeah, I might just be able to use it with one hand. which is where my limit lies.

This might actually work. Starting out with the Note 2 and sacrificing the SAMSUNG logo at top, and making the bottom homescreen button much narrower.
Edit: Come to think of it. It is not actually a (secret) 4-way navigation button, right? I actually can't tell from the feel of it....

I took a ruler across my Notes screen and 6 inches of screen will be a tight fit.
If the physical button is made into capacitive doesn't count as that's not part of the screen.
I think the Current Note/Note 2 should not get any bigger in total physical size as that would go too much into tablet territory.
A 6 inch screen in my opinion would be the absolute max I would like to see this phone go to. Any bigger and I wont buy it.

I dont mind if the machine keep the same size as 3.2 x 5.8 inch, and screen is 6 inch, it should be able to fit the 6 inch in if it is kind of frameless.
It is possible.
But seems better if keep the screen as 5.3 inch size, and decrease the overall of the machine size to something like GS3.

Here are a few photos to get an idea of a 6-inch phone. In fact, on second thought, a surface-like touch-keyboard should be built into the cover.
Screens are taken from
here
Actually I do believe a 6-inch Samsung phone will be coming by the end of 2013. But this is pure speculation based on the rate at which Samsung churns out phone-models. It is harder for Samsung to make a 6" phone, b/c big high quality, high res screens are more complicated to make and because they break easier. Samsung has unprecedented brand value, and as such they fare better making no product (i.e. devices which never see the public eye) rather than a disastrous product with lots of bad press.
Would I want one? Perhaps, after I have watched many youtube videos and read reviews with real-life photos.

Rumor: 6.3-inch Samsung Galaxy Note 3 tipped for 2013

Amazing
But I guess its toooooooo big for a phone!
I remember when NOTE was released and I wondered if I should really buy it. I went to the store, checked it out and felt comfortable with it for daily use coz I could put it in my pocket and still use it as a 'phone'. BUT 6.3" I dunno! Maybe that's the end of the line for me!

LOL samsung should be crazy to put 6"+ screen PHONE unless its border-less with no keys, just whole screen .. yeah that would be cool :good:

-1 Samsung should focus more on productivity and entertainment for the next generation of the note. Even more processing power, more ram for another level of multitasking, more focus on the camera and photography features(which I doubt will happen because of the galaxy camera). The s pen of the note 2 was greatly improved upon but I feel that even more improvements can be add to the s pen. If they do decide to enlarge the screen, 5.7 should be the MAX!

From a psychological perspective the screen specs just have to have at least a 6 in them. Few would upgrade otherwise. Note = Screen. Case in point: apples product line and the journalistic endnotes they receive
I am pretty convinced that Sammy will go the way of virtual Android Homebutton in their new Note. Hate it or love it. And it will be pretty soon: Q2/Q3 2013

Is Galaxy Gear still worth it after GG 2 announcement?

Why would you even contemplate purchasing old techno? The gear 2 should prove a 'better' allroud experience IF IF IF the price is right. The Gear one was overpriced.

None are worth 300. I got the Gear at 30% off and thats about the price point it needs to be.
Nothing I saw today would lead me to want either of the new gears knowing they run Tizen and how they goofed the Gear launch software. Id say the best bet would be the Gear fit but only in the 149 range.
FWIW the camera on the Gear has been priceless. So many moments that it is more useful than pulling out your phone unlocking and waiting for camera to load.

I agree the camera on the gear is great! With my 1 year old daughter I use it all the time to capture her random moments she has! :good: And no matter what they do with the gear 2 it still will not be as open at the gg1 with full android.

price for the gear watch in my country i can get a bnew at $150 USD. In fact, someone already offered to me tonight. selling at a huge discounted price since he got it as a free bundled with the Note Pro. Do you think it's a good deal? thinking of getting it since i can make use on rooting it and good combo with note 3...

$150 is a great deal,I would jump on that if I were you

i like the camera placement on gear 1 more (i do not need video calling).
gear 2 is supposed to run tizen, and this is my biggest worry as of now. i'm not going to say goodbye to my android apps.
i'm happy with my gear 1 and null rom.
it's still the best smartwatch on the market.

i actually am not sure the G2 will be as easy to use but i catch all the shots of the kids i use to miss when i would have to pull out my phone from pocket and fire up the camera.

My only concern is whether samsung will provide support and develop new apps for the old gear now? It's not like they seemed to put a lot of effort developing apps for it in the first place! But even in its current form it ticks most of the boxes for me and battery life is pretty decent.
Plus the camera is actually useful and pretty decent in good light.

Apparently the original Gear is getting updated to Tizen too: http://www.droid-life.com/2014/02/25/galaxy-gear-update-to-tizen/

Love my Galaxy Gear from day one! Use all day, battery isnt that bad for me go easy 2 days! If Tizen means more battery life and same funcions on the watch cool! The only thing that i like more in Gear 2 its dark bezel on black model and lack of the volcano camera on the Galaxy Gear. By the way the camera at Galaxy Gear is actualy prety good... and allways one "the hand" when is need I only use my Note 3 to take important landscape pictures and things like that!
Another thing be able to make phone call with a watch its perfect when driven... i use all the time and dont have to take hands from the wheel

I don't see a reason to move to the GG2. I even see more reason to stay, we got android! Samsung would have to do a hell of a job with tizen for me to run to GG2 or even update to tizen os (like its been speculated)

The GG1 will still have its place and based on the refinements of the Gear2 like water resistance, the G2 will continue the migration of early tech. adapters.
I have a feeling that the real breakout success will be the Samsung Fit. It will likely be stregically priced to capture the segment of the market that are reluctant to tech. but interested in health. Desciding to focus on a limited, but capable level of features, that have demonstrated merit, and still staying reasonable priced, will be a big game changer; Especially in this strange segment of the tech. market where the manufacturer arbitrarily "creates solutions to problems that don't really exist in reality".

Review of Note 4 (N910C) - photo comparison with iPhone 6 plus

Performance - the best QHD resolution phone I tested so far. Smoothness 95% as they is still slightly 3 seconds delay opening recent apps, the briefing add on is not well done especially the open effect, it is not pull out but jump out. Hmm... sometimes they is still slightly jittering when minimise apps and also during scrolling 2nd apps under multi window.
Real Camera - extremely awesome, I believe the best so far in day light, night shoot wise second best. Today later will do some comparison with iPhone 6 plus. The taken time is extremely fast, no single delay event at night.
Front camera - great for selfie, bright and clear. The wide selfie wise is not as easier to use as promote.
Screen quality - I give 95% as well. If you dimmer down the screen then you will notice they is slightly color shift at bottom part at white background. It is more easier to see the wave on bottom end when you put the phone horizontally and look closer to eye. I check others demo set at Samsung store and all same. Please don't purposely check it if you never seen it. But this is by far much much better than my previous Note 3 AMOLED screen. Beside this, the screen is absolutely awesome! The best AMOLED screen I ever seen and use.
QHD resolution - is this gimmick? Hardly to said, seriously I can't spot any differences compare with FHD. Oops! It is not like HD to FHD that kind of big differences wow!
Battery Life - surprisingly great! At least the SOT is better than Note 3.
Touchwiz UI - the best ever by Samsung. Flat nice design and finally can put folder inside apps drawer everywhere back not like initial release in S5 UI which can't. They is two draw back compare with S5. Why Samsung remove the color selection for folder! Also the new briefing is badly implement compare with S5 one. Beside this please implement way for disable or moving to bottom the S Finder and Quick Connect at notification, it is annoying as sometimes I do accidentally click it when clicking the clear button.
Samsung widget - I love all the Samsung widget, this time all well done with flat look semi transparency especially the main clock weather widget.
Bloatware - I don't find any extra Bloatware this time. Those keep complaining Samsung is bloat shall really go check it out before judge. Also if you use China phone especially Xiaomi then you will know what is really call bloat.
Loud Speaker - far louder and better than Note 3 but put back at real is really a big wrong decision. Why oh why you move from previous great bottom location to real. Now I truly miss my HTC One M8 awesome stereo loud speaker.
IN OVERALL I GIVE SCORES OF 95%.

Some random shoot.
Here some night shoot. All auto mode. I am impress with the result.

More photos coming soon.

Note 4 (wide) vs iPhone 6+ (square) Part 01
- all auto mode with HDR Off.

From those photos the Note 4 is better in low light. The 6+ pictures are too dark something I have noticed in other comparisons also.

The Gear VR is the best available mobile VR experience you can get at the moment, which you can actually call a proper VR experience which surpasses the Oculus Rift DK1 and rivals even the DK2 in some regards but those Rifts are wired and need a powerful PC to work properly.

VR can be used to watch 360° Photos, 360° Videos, 360° 3D Videos and Games. It can give you the impression of not only watching something from far away like on a TV but as if you were there. Depending on the quality of the content of course.

this feature has been removed! I went to a store to see a NOTE5 and could not use the "CONVERT TO EDIT" the note 4. I'm using the rom erobot port 11 note 5 and also has this function. It would be great if the dev could include this user function in rom there would be best!!

I too am missing the convert to edit on my Note 5. Out of all the features, this is the one I actually used and Samsung removed it from the Note 5 software.
Too bad.

I wish I had seen this before I spent over an hour on a call with Samsung trying to figure this out. Convert to text is definitly missing, so all you end up with is the ability to slice the image into sections of smaller images. Very disappointing.

I bought the note 5 only because the camera set + photo note. If all we open a complaint with Samsung we can force them to fix functionality.

Hi.
it is easier to ask a developer of xda here to create a solution. using the rom note 4 believe is possible.

Very frustrating and disappointing. Worked so well on ythe Note 4, used it at work all the time for snapping whiteboards. Note 5 less than useful. photo note......not really. Should have renamed it to photo chop. The note functionality is gone.

I found that the app Office Lens works like the former version of photo note. It creates editable text after using it to take a picture.

Samsung replied my email
Dear Jorge,
Greetings from S Note! We sincerely apologize for the delay in reply.
With every new version of S Note new features are added while modifying and removing some features.
With Note 5, Photo note feature has been modified to exclude the text conversion.
Photo note will only allow to select particular portions in the picture and insert in S Note. Text present in pictures can not be converted to editable lines in S Note.
But as we said earlier with every new version features are added, modified and removed. Text conversion feature in photo note may be introduced again in future versions of S Note.
We can not confirm if this will really happen but there is always a possibility.
Hope this answers your query well.
Thank you for keeping with us. We really appreciate your feedback and suggestions.
We would love to hear more from you regarding your complaints, queries and suggestions to help us improve your experience with S Note.
Best Regards,
S Note Development team

Missing this feature as well!!

Hi, honestly I'm not trying to hijack this thread. Just need some clarification.
Is the Photo Note app the same app that was on the old Note 2's and Note 3's where you can take a picture and makes notes on the (virtual) back of the photo? I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge now and that would be one of my most desired features! Is Samsung NOT putting it on other phones because there is no S-Pen? If it does have the same functionality, is there any way to get this Photo Note apk so I could use it on my S7E? Thanks in advance!
