As Note 5 is around corner and many users always prefer to follow their favorite developer to get developmental support. We know Note4 have almost no support here but looking to S 6 edge success things may be different on note 5.
So request here users and developers to cast their vote
Would you like to go with Note 5 OR Note 5 Edge?
Note 5 Edge? Haven't heard about this one so far.
It will be clear tomorrow (i am not wrong tomorrow is N5 unpacked event) BTW google search reveals many pictures of N5 edge.

Waiting for the S7/Note 6; I really want to see how Samsung's custom core SoC performs. Btw you should probably add "none of the above" to the survey.
The GS6 Edge PLUS WOULD be cool, but I keep seeing it has Qualcomm 808. Not sure why Samsung would downgrade, but if they did, I'll get Note 5 with 7422. Now if Samsung got all Apple on us, and use the 7420 in the Note, ill look at the Moto X or maybe the Nexus by Huawei on principle. Making the Note just a bigger Galaxy with spen is like Apple and their "s" releases.

Note 4/here until something better comes out because N5 and edge aren't it.
No microsd = Note None!
Well, there are different Edge concepts out there. The Note 4 Edge and the S6 Edge. Even if it's less functional I prefer the S6 Edge for aesthetic reasons. Would I buy it? Don't think so.
Note 5, if it has a higher battery or a better backup

After owning Note 4........I would wait for something better, maybe other brands. Too many issues with Samsung:
- Bloated TWiz
- WTF Knox fuse warrenty
- extremely delayed s/w upgrades
- don't add features to old models, e.g. theme support in note 4
- No removable battery going forward
- No SD card support going forward
- probaly lot more which I can't think of now..
neither
Me neither, gonna stay with my Note 4. Can't miss my removable battery and SD slot.
Maybe it's getting time to let go of samsung and try some other flavors.
Waiting until this afternoon to make my decision. If there is no 4100mAh battery and no MicroSD then neither.
Nexus 6
Let's wait and see which markets the Note 5 will be available at... We may be surprised.
http://www.engadget.com/2015/08/13/samsung-galaxy-note-5-hands-on-preview/
So we basically knew everything already. Sigh, let's hope the note 6 fares better next year. No MicroSD, no swappable battery, no 128Gb version, only 3000mAh battery, etc. This is beyond disappointing.
Bye bye samsung ! No Micro SD, no Battery replacement, no update, Knox fuser !
I'am out !
LOL.
Note 5 has max 64 gb storage. No 128 option xD
Subject says it all... I never use the s-pen (ok, "rarely"...occasionally to crop an image on screen to mms to friends)
Wondering if the note 6 will be the better upgrade choice, or should a get an s7 or s7 edge now? I'm assuming the note # will be the true flagship.
And wondering if the (next) note 6 will be water resistant like the s7's are (I'm guessing NOT) I can't wait to shower with my phone! LMAO! [emoji23]
Then there's the optional luxury of paying off the note 4 - keeping it and lowering my monthly bill! That's another option I guess, it's a great device.
Just asking the question to my fellow note 4 users. What do you folks think?
Wait. You will want the Note 6 when it comes out. I can't go to any smaller screen than 5.7. So i will wait for note 6 or something with a larger screen.

My husband got an s7. It's nice, screen looks good, but the screen is so small compared to the note 4. I was sorely tempted to get an s7 when I ordered his, but read the leaks about the note 6 and decided to wait. Seeing the s7, I'm glad I did.
Locked bootloaders for the S7 (edge). Not sure if that matters to you. Who knows what'll happen with the Note.

Oh no! Well I just lost all interest in the s7
Hi guys I've just got the note 8 on contract question is do you guys think I should wait for the s9 plus or keep the note 8
I'm happy with the note 8 only thing I'm jealous of from the rumours is the stereo speakers
Apart from that I don't see what more they can improve on that will over take the note 8 maybe the camera but as far as I know ain't they using the same displays 1440p ect?
Thanks
You should keep the note 8, wait for the s9+, buy a Nokia 3310 in the mean time and then wait some more for the note 10. :silly:

Lol I know it was a silly question suppose I was just wondering if people thought it was with the wait or it will just be a incremental update of the s8 plus ect
stereo speakers, camera, processor.... those seem to be the selling points really, however... no s-pen so not for me.
I'm not a good enough photographer to use/know the difference between S9+ and my Note 8, processing power... well my note8 have plenty already.... as for the speakers... well, no matter what, mobile phone speakers will never be all that great, if you want good sound go buy nice earbuds.
I doubt I would consider the S9+ an actual upgrade over the Note 8
Check the web, plenty of specs already there and decide for yourself. And in 4 days you'll see the official one.
Sent from my Galaxy Note8 using XDA Labs
As I always point out, a note user considers the s pen as the number one factor, if not, go for a S series, a pixel, a V series, a xperia, I dont know, any real fine flagship
Thanks guys just with me having 14 days to decide but I'll properly keep the note 8 something special a out the note series
I'll have a look at some decent buds now any recommendation that have nice sound any with a nice dac too
Thanks again
I'd tell anyone outside of XDA to go for N8, especially when S9 comes out as it will most definitely get a price drop.
However, in XDA, many will say S9, all due to Project Treble.
If you dont fiddle with your phone, stay with N8. We still dont have much info on Treble, but the way the tables have changed, technically, Sammy should adapt it.
Note 9 and S9/S9+ Skip. Note 10 or Galaxy X Give me! The S9+ slightly better then Note 8. You just contract phone. Chances are you had to put $200-300+ down payment. Plus the months you use till S9+ comes out which avg. $20-40. Then let's say you want a S9+ That's another $200-300 down and start all over with payments. Is it really woth it to have a slightly better Note 8? No.
Even the Note 9 rumors specs/features not making me want to get it. Will wait for Note 10 or Galaxy X. $1k a year for a phone? That hurts. Seems best to skip a gen and get a true upgrade. This Note 8 is a powerhouse so I am sure it will be good for 2-3 years.
That's just my opinion though. Some people want the hottest phone every year. That's fine it's your money spend how you want.
Thanks just checked what project treble is sound promising do you think the note 8 would get it?
I had the s8 plus xperia xz premium and the iPhone 8 plus and switched to the note 8 so looking to stick with the device for at least around a year lol need my phone addiction to calm down a bit
But if there isn't much of a difference between the s9plus to the note 8 what we know of anyways then I'll properly keep the note 8
Does anyone know on any rumours of what dac will be in the s9
Wait for 6.5" Note 9.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
Sounds like spoiled bratty question.. no offence anyway like pen stay with note.. otherwise S series
I was wondering the same and ended up picking up the Note 8 directly from Samsung. They were willing to give me $350 for my Edge 7 which is more then I would get on Ebay and they tossed in the Icon X 2018. With how carriers do phones now with these stupid leases and no subsidizing. I'd rather pay $600 for a Note 8, then $800 for a S9+ in a few weeks that hasn't been tested mainstream yet.

I'd like to know that too (DAC) , I love my Samsung but they're not notorious for great sound quality. Wonder if it'll be any different this time. I still keep my HTC 10 for listening to music, sounds miles better imho.

I am so torn between these 2. The price for the Exynos S9+ is insane compared to the SD, and I can also get my hands on a 256GB Note 8, but I don't want to buy a super awesome 1 year old processor. Looking for input.
Edit: I changed "dated" to "a super awesome 1 year old processor" for the ones that are easily distracted and/or offended.

Get the S9+ and then trade it in for the Note 9 at a big discount - unless you needed the pen... Best of both worlds

Note 8 is not "outdated tech" , as others stated above, the really important thing is, do you use, like, need, love the s pen? Because the s pen is the very heart of a galaxy note, If the only reason for you is having the "latest tech" there are many options for you to choose, even in the vivo or huawei brands, in other words, if you have doubts, then the note 8 is not for you
Sticking with the Note 8 i cant justify spending another $900 plus after a few months with the Note...just waiting for the Note 9.

That ^ and lets say you on payment plan. You just had to put $200-300 down plus payments. With the galaxy s9+ you will have to do the same all over. Is it really worth a slightly better Note 8? I don't think so.
This Note 8 is a powerful phone good for 2-3 years, maybe more. Like others said wait for Note 9 or Note 10. I myself waiting for Note 10. The rumor specs of Note 9 seems to be nothing to jump out of your seat for.
If your 1 who wants hottest phone all the time, then go for it. It's your money spend how you want.
I love my note 8, I will keep it 'till note 10 arrives, when you are really into the note series, anything else seems capped, the s pen has no match!
I'm very partial to my Note 8 I did have to get the Galaxy S8 plus because of the Note 7 issue and it was a great phone but I'll wait for the Note 9 and Note 10,I also like the dual cameras on the Note 8 how they are side by side,not really liking the cameras on the S9 plus being one underneath the other,I know they are way better specs wise but it's just an aesthetic thing for me.
Lol @ when he said dated tech. LOL.

Same here. Love my Note 8, plus I'm not one of those to upgrade every year, the new features from one gen to next is not much, just a waste of money to upgrade every year IMO considering how much phones cost these days. I love the spen so I continue to buy Note over S if possible.
I'll be waiting for the Note 10, I'm betting they are planning to make a big improvement with it being the 10, well hopefully.
As was mentioned before, the Note 8 is far from outdated. Amazing piece of tech. I recommend to shop around to save some money.
Go for the 9 if you don't use the S-pen
I say outdated, because both cpu's are being replaced in the flagship lineup. Don't get caught up on the wording.
I decided on the S9 Plus, because I stopped using the s pen. I sold my S8 plus to help fund another device, and so I rolled back to my Note 4 in the meantime, and I haven't used the S pen once. Thanks for all of the input.
S9 if you don't need Spen. Note8 if you want Spen and save some money
I for one am tired of the "gotta have it! gotta have it!" with the new phones. The changes from phone to phone aren't worth the $900+ IMO. I will be keeping my Note8 until it breaks/starts tweaking out.

So in other words, we aren't going to use accurate wording that best describes what we are saying? You got the reaction that those words warranted man.
Dated is such an overstatement anyways. I actually considered buying a Note 4 for back up last night. $189 new at walmart.com.
It's been 6 months I am using Galaxy Note 8 now I wanna switch can anyone give some options no Galaxy S9 though please.
I was reading about LG G7 ThinQ looks nice.

Why do you want to change your note 8? What do you dislike about it? I would consider anything else except a note 9, as a downgrade
I dislike the battery.I absolutely hate the speaker.It's shameful for a device of this price.I also dislike the slow updates but that is a Samsung issue overall.Touchwiz launcher is horrible but that's an easy fix.All that being said nobody makes as good of a screen as samsung,I adore the camera and the s-pen is an absolute delight.I don't know about upgrading to the note 9 simply because that'd be a net loss of 500$ for only 6 months of usage on my note 8 but I'm positive I'll be getting the S10/Note 10
I think, there are more then enough people who needs every 6 month a new device.
I don't know why.
Don't be afraid to hit the "Thanks" button if someone helped you. It don't hurts

Nothing as such I just wanna change I am hating its curve screen which has no use at all and not a single screen protector fix on it (tried 4 so far)
I like OP6 but then its camera is not as good as Note 8 camera is, secondly it has no HDR for Netflix and Amazon and its vibrations are so so weird!!
I like LG G7 ThinQ though havent tried it yet!

You will probably have a difficult time with that question in this forum since we're here because we like/love the Note series of phones. With that being said I don't disagree with the speaker part, I'm hoping the Note 9 will have stereo speakers, preferably more robust speakers to boot.
You need to get a full screen adhersion screen protector. They can be found pretty easily you just need to look for them. But I would stick with the Note 8 as it is a very good device and will probably last you for a good few years.

The LG G7 and HTC U12 won't have any better battery life compared to Note 8. PIxel 2 XL would be an option. Huawei Mate 10 Pro or P20 Pro is another option. Note 9 is around the corner with 4000 mah battery which should help
Bought OnePlus 6 Mirror Black 128gb (Black Mirror is so sexy its dope, OnePlus did an amazing job), its amazing freaking fast, smooth, the gestures are nice as well. I love the full screen display with notch though so many people don't like it, you can't compare the camera with Note 8 one's but its not that bad seriously and with Gcam the pictures comes really nice.
Over all experience is so satisfying, I don't miss Note 8 at all :good:

If I were you, I would go probably for the Huawei P20 Pro.
I get puzzled by such threads? The Note series is unique as a mobile phone experience.
The S-pen is whats makes the Note, the Note. If one doesn't need or use the S-pen I cant imagine why one would purchase a Note series mobile? To that end there are no options or other choices to the SG Note 8 until the Note 9 is released shortly.
If the S-pen is not of primary use then there are numerous other mobile phones to explore.
One thing is a certainty in the mobile world, no phone will please all users. That is why there is a plethora of choices. Every mobile made has its positives also negatives, its all a question of needs and usage prioritise.
I need and use the S-pen, it makes my mobile a pocket PC.
If I didn't need the S-pen I would look at mobiles with my second priority and that is good DAC and sound quality. Some prioritise the camera or screen size, the list is endless.
Ryland
so true, Ryland; plus, why do people thing anyone cares about why they hate a particular phone?
If you hate the note 8, get rid of it and get something else; no one here cares to hear your sob story about why its so awful..
BTW, even though I have had several Note phones, start with the first one, I rarely use the Spen at this point in my life; I like them for their size, their screen, and the "extras" that samsung includes in their phones...Sure, the sound sucks, but there are endless BT/Wired/Wireless speakers and head sets that make that point moot. Battery life is no issue, with wireless charging, and most of the other complaints are just silly ..
anyways, lets hope that people who dont like this phone just get rid of it, and move on, without giving us endless posts about why they hate/hated/got rid of it..no one cares!!!

I had an LG G7 ThinQ for 2-3 days, couldn't stand the UI and is on the small side for me compared to the Note 8. G7 is not slow just different when you use all these phones. Ended up giving it to my Granddaughter after 3 days.
Probably a Note 9 or an iPhone X plus
The note 8's battery is as trash as the Note 5's.
