Sammy Edge Display

Completely off topic...BUT...
I REALLY dislike Samsung's phones of the past..but I think this Galaxy Note Edge has some cool upside once dev's get ahold of the SDK to have some fun with the display.
What are your thoughts? Will it even come to Sprint?

Meh.. I like the concept but there are two issues that I see currently.
1. It'll be difficult for left-handed people to use.
2. The part of the curve might be touched accidentally during normal use.

Two solid points.

I think the edge display today is what the s-pen was in the beginning. Unlike the gimmicky Sammy stuff, if used properly and adopted well like the s-pen, it stands to be a hallmark feature in the Samsung line. I wouldn't be surprised if both sides of the note had edge displays on next years note. Cases are gonna be a heck of a feat tho. If it isn't otterbox or lifwproof, there are definitely challenges involved

Just received S6 Edge - AMA

Just got my shiny new 128gb AT&T S6 Edge. Have a couple of hours to kill - feel free to ask me stuff!

I've got mine, but I'm curious does your front screen have scratch swirls all of it when you are in light?
Mine is scratched to hell on the front.

Any chance you want to attempt using CF-autoroot just in case Samsung ignored AT&T's request to lock? Figured I'd ask, despite the fact that there's virtually no chance.

No, none at all thankfully - posted some images on the scratch thread, seems picture perfect to me under all lighting conditions I've put it under so far!

Will try to do this later!

I received my black/128 today as well. Not a scratch in sight. So far loving it but still notice signs of lag. Coming from Moto X 2nd gen and HTC M9. However, it is far less than S5 and is worth it to have a great overall phone with superb camera (M9 was aweful)

How is the battery ? Could you post some pictures?

This is what I get for getting the 32GB version... should have just got the next higher one up. Seems the 32GB Edge is the only model with scratches being reported.

Well I don't blame you, the 128gb on ATT is frankly outrageously expensive.

My 128gb looks perfect.

How bad is the att bloat? Also did it come in Samsung packaging or the att boxes they have been doing in the past?

Mine appears to be just a regular Samsung box, not specifically AT&T. Also, mine doesn't have any scratches or swirls, I have the 128GB white. It's immaculate.

I've always been partial to the white phones. I'm not too keen on all the different colors. A crystal clear thinnest case available and white is my favorite. The new colors the have though are pretty nice. You'll be very happy with whatever you decide to get.

Samsung pay
Just got my White 32gb S6 edge..Not a scratch in sight! Wanted to ask you guys if you'll have heard anything about the samsung pay. The samsung rep from best buy told me sometime this summer and the live chat on the samsung website told me that its available on the S6 but not yet on the S6 Edge which doesn't make any sense!

For those of you who already have one, how does it feel to hold with the curved screen? It seems sexy as hell but I feel like it's really easy to accidentally touch the sides of the screen

It is sexy as hell! And actually only find the edges easier to grip and less slippy than the S6. So far I haven't had issues with accidental touches, and it makes swiping in side menus actually a pleasure. Some apps are also emerging that make the most of the curves which is even cooler.

ok
ok.....

Can't wait to get it!
Played with one in Costco, and I must say, just amazing! The screen is even better than my note 4, which is saying a lot! And the curves look sexy as hell! Mine will b off contract though, so I will more than likely end up getting the 64gb.
U guys should post some pics......

Unlocked Galaxy Note 8 Direct from Samsung, Sharp Edges?

I received my Unlocked Galaxy Note 8 Direct from Samsung today. Coming from the AT&T Galaxy s8+ on which the build quality was pretty phenomenal. Almost perfectly smooth edges where the glass meets the frame on the front and back. Perfect smooth feeling in the hand.
The very first thing I noticed when I took the Note 8 out of the box is the almost sharp feeling edges where the frame protrudes substantially further than the glass does. At first I thought maybe it was intentional to help protect the glass on impact if you were to drop it but it just feels terrible in the hand. Really *really* noticeable.
Has anybody else noticed this? Part of me hoping this is NOT normal and I can get a replacement and the other half of me wants everybody elses to be the same so I don't have to try to get a replacement. It really does feel "not right" in the hand though... not sharp like you could cut yourself but sharp enough to scrape skin off if you press hard.
For the full retail price I paid..... kinda bummed.

Mines the same. Purchased from Samsung direct a tmobile variant.

That actually makes me feel a little better. Thank you. :good:

Sorry to hear that. I know I'd be gutted if my Note 8 arrived and it had an issue. I'm on a Note 3 so I've kinda been waiting for 4 years for this phone and the anticipation is killing me. I always put a case on my phones so I probably wouldn't be devo about it but it would still be disappointing. I'll let you know if mine has the same feel and lie to you if it doesn't.

Yeah, the edges are different due to the spen. Samsung made the edges closer to 90 degrees for spen usage, which gives more screen real estate to write on.

I knew that. I just wish the edge was smooth where the glass meets the frame. Basically my frame is substantially wider than the glass is, if that explains it better.

Considering trading my note 8 for an S8 plus

I loved my note 7 (nice rounded edges samsung oem screen protector etc) This phone just feels ...well HUGE... in pocket as well as in hand... I am realizing im not using the spen at all really (other than to send sparkly messages to my wife) since i got my ipad pro and pencil for sketching. For some reason this thing feels immense in my front pocket and heavy.I read at night and holding this phone can be cumbersome at best.. I love the screen and playing games on it but for pretty much everything else its not what i expected. I went to best buy and held both phones at the same time and the s8+ feels so much better in hand with only a .1 in screen difference (i cannot even notice) Am i crazy for exchanging it for a S8+?
ps i like the dual camera live focus thing but for me personally its not that important. 99% of my phone pics are point and shoot and share to a friend or social media..

Really, this is a decision up to you. No one here can tell you what phone you want. But in my opinion, if you don't care for the S-Pen, the better screen, and the dual cameras, then you would be both happier and better off financially if you get the S8+ instead. The S8+ is practically the same phone if you remove those features from the Note 8. The processor is the same and Samsung will support both phones with updates for the same length of time.

Yes, we all have a different preference Good luck finding what you want!

I'm posting from my S8 plus right now as my n8 is on the charger hands down I love my Note 8 so much more but then again I like bigger phones the S8 plus just seems so tiny compared

There's not much difference besides the ergonomics. The s8 plus feels good in the hand and less blocky. I wouldn't do it.

Nothing worse than buyers remorse. So sorry to learn you are not enjoying your Note 8. Odd having enjoyed the Note 7? The Note 8 improves on all the Note 7 had, then some.
I do hope you enjoy the S8+ it's a superb phone, I moved sideways from it to buy the Note 8 as I want and use the S-pen. Had I not wanted the S-pen I would have still sold the S8+ and bought the LG V30 as next on my list of prioritise is music and the LG excels in that arena.
Let us know how you get on. :good:

I got a Note8 to replace a S8+. The Note8's for want of a better word beefier. I like the corners of the display squared; there's more usable space. And it has S Pen which I've missed since the Note7 debacle. My S8+ was a UK Exynos and my Note8 is a S-835 unlocked U.S. phone because of the $425 Note7 discount. They perform the same and even battery life is the same even though the Note8's battery is smaller. Side by side I like the colors and brightness of the Note8's display better. And my S8+ was one of the few without display issues.
To each their own.

If this is what you want, don't let anybody persuade you otherwise, just don't let the door hit you on the way out. I couldn't wait to give my S8 to my wife and get N8, but I use s-pen all the time and I'm surprised you going for S8+, instead of S8, since as you said the difference is small, but whatever makes you happy, it makes you happy.

i actually considered the s8 over the s8 plus but it seems much more narrow or improperly proportioned compared to the s8 plus if that makes sense.. my main grip is the in hand and in pocket feeling the squared off note 8 feels compared to the much more rounded s8 plus it feels much more ergonomic in my hands.. i barely used the spen in my note 4 and simply got it because at the time it was the largest screen offered in a sammy device.. i guess at some point bigger isnt always better..

Not looking like I will bother with it but I did play around with a note 8 and had my s8+ with me and like the way the note felt in hand better.

I've got both (well wife has the S8 plus). I really can't tell a difference in size and I have small hands...
As long as you are happy.

Yep, aside from the Note being a bit (approx 0.7cm) longer than the note, it is just as wide. The note 8 has more square corners too but overall the width is identical...
I also have both.

Well done. Ryland.

I would of stayed with note 8 more ram and way better standby time than s8+

I came from my s8+ which I absolutely loved but I switched carriers and figured I'd try a different phone, first week I wanted to March back to store room exchange for s8+ as the note 8 is heavier and tad thicker and screen is more blocky, and now a week later I have to admit I do love the note, the spen is really useful for me at work as I need clients to sign my phone when making transactions, battery life isn't as beast as the s8+ as expected, but isn't much behind either, both phones are all day battery, so no complaints there but I feel note 8 has more screen real estate simply from the corners being less rounded, I'm a happy camper

I ended up going back to the note 8 !! Even with a case on the s8 plus i was getting false registers on the sides and corners with my big meaty hands... Is will be here Monday. Also in gaming grip or watching movies there note is far superior.. i feel dumb returning it but hey, it was a learning experience and at least i ended up with the better phone in the end

Yeah, for sure if you're not regularly using your S-Pen and you're not gonna miss the dual cameras or the extra bit of RAM the S8 Plus is a reasonably solid alternative. Like others have said here, the Note series is no longer the only device with a large OLED screen. Hell, now you'll have the LG V30 to choose from if you're switching away from the Note 8 as that's also OLED (and flat).
The feel between these two phones, aesthetically with the body's frame, for sure, feel different. I still have my S8 Plus to kick around and I can feel how well it rest much easier in the hand than my Note 8. I'm just partial to the more squared off corners of the Note 8's screen. Something about that more sharper edge in the corners also makes it feel like a thinner phone than the S8 Plus. I know, that sounds weird but that's what I feel when I'm holding both of them. The screen, IMO, needs to be as sharp in the corners as possible because I find that to be more sleek and mature in design.
At least we have some brilliant choices to pick from today. We're pretty spoiled in the modern phone market.

LOL! I was watching something on TV while I was typing my previous reply so I took a while to finish what I was typing and I didn't see this until I finally hit "submit". You're back on the N8, that's cool. Like you said, you learned what you really wanted so that's good. Enjoy your new phone when it arrives!

still worth buying?

My s7 edge is pretty busted up and I need a new phone ASAP. Is the note 8 still worth buying? I'm between it and the s8 plus. I hear the s9 is coming out in a few months or something. Are there any known defects I should be aware of so I can inspect the phone when I get it? I'm weary because I had the note 7 and that a fiasco that was.

I LOVE my Note 8. I've had it for about a month, and had an S8+ before that. The S8+ and the N8 are very similar, actually. The N8 has a 0.1 inch bigger screen with less rounded corners. It is bigger, thicker, and heavier than the S8+, but also feels more solid and premium.
The N8 has 2GB more RAM and a dual lens camera with 2x optical zoom. But the S8+ has a bigger battery.
The real differentiating factor is the S-Pen. Some people use it everyday, others never take it out of the phone. I personally use it more and more.
The S8+ is cheaper for basically the same experience, and I was very happy with it, but I found a great deal on a used N8, so I bought it. I think it's worth every penny over the S8+. But I wound up keeping my S8+ as a backup phone anyway, so now I have both. Either one is a worthy upgrade to the S7 Edge.
As far as defects to look out for? There were issues with the S8+ screen having a red or pink tint. The bigger issue was the one that had UNEVEN tinting. So check out the screen and make sure it's true white and even all across. I don't believe the N8 had that same problem, or at least it was not as prevalent.
Now, do you get the S8+, the N8, or wait for the S9+? Here are my thoughts:
True the S9+ is a couple months away, so you could wait for it. But then when it releases, the Note 9 will be just a couple months away, so you could wait for it. But then what about the S10? Etc... There is ALWAYS something better right around the corner.
Honestly, the S9+ looks like an incremental upgrade. Dual camera and 6GB of RAM. Both of which are available in the Note 8 now. It will have a slightly faster SD845 processor and faster Iris scanner (reportedly), but not sure if that's worth the wait.
My opinion: get the Note 8. It already has the extra RAM and the dual lens camera. If you shop around, you can get a used one fairly cheap now, almost as cheap as an S8+. Cheaper in my case, actually.

Get the Note 8. Big boys phone (or girl)
S8/S9 etc are brilliant and all... But they just seem... Oh I don`t know. Boring is the wrong word.
"Samey" is maybe the right word.
There may be marginally higher specced phones round the corner, but when isn`t there?
Get the note. It seems more "grown up". And it will be worth more come upgrade time than a s8+
I am really enjoying mine. And I`m strictly a Moto fan (at least what moto was before Lenumptys bought the brand)

Thanks for the responses guys.... I actually just watched some s9 videos and yeah there's nothing about it that blows the note 8 out of the water. I don't really care about the finger print sensor because I plan on using the iris scanner mostly. Are there any good screen protector that work with the note 8 curves screen though? I want to get a good one on it as soon as I can.

I've been using these film ones from Amazon on 2 Note 8's and a S8 + and we are happy. I'm not a fan of the glass ones because of the dot matrix effect and what not.

I hope the note 9 has 8 GB Ram, if not will wait for Note 10.

For film, I've used Spigen protectors and they were great. For glass, one of the more popular full adhesive screen protectors is Whitestone Dome. Zagg also has a new one that looks promising.

I have it on mine and it's perfect, but yes I've read about some people having issues...Then again, I've read negatives about every TGSP! Works for me, but buyer should always research of course
Apologies for off-topic.

No doubt Note 8
If you look at my older posts..I had a Galaxy S7 Edge too. It's motherboard got fried on it's own lol. So I had to buy a new phone. I was confused with N8 and S8 too..and in my country the price difference was just around 80-90 dollars so I went with Note8. Also I am using it completely stock. No Screen Protection and only the transparent case that I got inside the box. I have learned one thing about phones in today's world...Whenever you buy a new phone, just unsubscribe from all the tech channels and newsletters as they keep pushing about the latest and greatest phones,which makes you feel that your phone is somehow outdated now. So just buy a phone and forget that newer phones exists.That way your phone will be brand new for more than 5 years.

Black for me but it's a personal preference. If you get a case or something maybe consider that color too so they match. Really up to you though

I bought a exynos duos. It has a premium phone but
- aod drains a lot of battery so I'm pretty angry because it has not sense turn it off to get better sot.
- edge lighting doesn't work too... so bad because if you can't use aod at least edge lighting...
- I really don't know how to get 6 hour or more sot... tried everything (black theme, turn everything off, medium psm, worst resolution, etc).
- the virtual keys burns the pixel of the screen so u have to set auto hide
- Samsung support [email protected]#^ks
- most snote features disabled
Btoh:
- not matter if you use performance mode every day... it uses the same amount of battery life but slightly improve sound and screen visualisation; 2% more of battery usage.
- the phone is a monster: excellent camera, ultra fast...
- spen really nice
If note's problems don't get fixed with Oreo update consider think if really want to buy 1000 dollar smartphone and can't use it main and unique features. Also if you think to use mpsm to get more battery b life it will be like to buy a car and walk to work because use to much gasoline...
Btw... grey is the best colour

I have a duos (950FD) too, but without burn-in issues, and I always get 6-7 hours SOT... Maybe a rogue app draining your battery there. Also, can you explain more about why your edge lighting doesn't work?

Edge lighting issue is not just mine... take a look on Google and you will see that is a extended problem throw users. Edge lighting simply don't works on turned off screen or on.
About battery drain... just a few apps installed and I tested with and without aod stuff. Without it 6 hours at max: with it 4 max (6% usage). Also with aod deep sleep has a few % running.
