Hi I am considering in buying a note since the GPU is the same as note 2 .
I just wanna ask how the battery life and screen is.
And I want to know your opinion.
Thanks a bunch

My battery can last for 15-18 hours a day, with quite active usage on whatsapp, xda-apps, facebook, internet browsing, phone, do some stuff on S-memo, polaris office, and email, plus sometimes camera if I find any object for my work purpose.
I don't like to listen music from note, and only play (very very seldom) game.
The battery enough for me to last on outdoor usage (without any need to bring charger).
Screen, as some users has posted on other thread, some of the note device do have a bad blackclipping.
Mine is one of those bad blackclipping screen user.
I did once want to make a complain to Samsung. But damn it.... In front of the service center representative, the blackclipping just gone like that, and I fail to complain. :silly:
After fail to complain, I use the method here (credit to betoNL), to reduce the blackclipping.
And now, on my device, I use the 240 dpi mod, the black clipping issue is actually reduce to the max, almost gone.
But if I were you, I will wait for the Note 2, and compare it on hands before buying it.

The battery life on the note 2 will be significantly better and the gpu may also be faster. JUST because it will also be the mali 400 doesnt mean itll be at the same frequency.
The note 2 will be better than the note in every way except screen resolution and pxel density. For most people who already own a mode these improvements are too marginal to really matter. The change from the note 1 to note 2 is pretty similar to the difference between a 2013 car and a 2012. Not worth an upgrade if you already have a note 1 but waiting for note 2 maybe worth it. It all depends on pricing really.

If u r not in a rush, just wait for a few more weeks for note 2 to publish.
Then u can know the difference without regret.

Curious if any note owners who skipped the note 2 consider the mega 6.3 as a worthy upgrade over the original note?
I thought bigger would be better until I compared it in the flesh with my note,deffo way to big for a phone I'd give it a week of somone grabbing it from ur ear (as it litterly looks like a brick) or I'd be claiming insurance on it cause I don't have any items of clothing with pockets that deep to keep it in..still a nice phone but there's probably still a market for that size but just not for me..

Performance wise did the mega feel snappier than the note?
I've had my note for two years and I am always up against the low ram as I multi task a lot. I prefer to not have my browser kill itself when I go to use other apps. Also I wish my note was faster.
I was hoping the mega would resolve these performance issues. I love the big screen and the lcd since it will be much better to view in daylight.
Thanks
Unfortunately I couldn't compare speed as it was one those kiosks with the phone but just abit of printed card in display as the phone isnt out until sometime in july,but got a good comparison in sizes..my notes running fast enough for what I use it for with most up to date s4 mods think il be happy enough until the note 3 arrives...HOPEFULLY..

I woild not consider it an upgrade. Specs are low, and iirc its 720p just like the note 2. If anything the kega is a downgrade. Unless your primary use of your "phone" is to watch youtube, its a downgrade. Not saying its a bad product at all here, just i would keep my used, 800p phone over gettimg a brand new mega.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Exactly as ur already unhappy with the ram the mega is indeed a downgrade from note 2
As the note 2 has 2gb of ram and the mega only has 1.5gb and I don't think the processor is as good either so if ur lookin the bigger screen then like myself hold off until the release of note 3..

It would be better of getting the xperia z ultra rather than the mid range galaxy mega which to me is still expensive. The z ultra is bigger, better, faster, STRONGER than the mega and is water resistant too. So if you are a gamer, web browser, video watcher or anyone who plays around with their phone a lot and likes huge @55 phones should not buy the mega. Samsung made the mega mostly for the 'poor' customers who are korean. If they were to make it into a high end phablet then some of their customers might complain. So for those of you who are wealthy here just get the z ultra. Just saying
It's not an upgrade. The Note 2 is of course, but at this point wait three months and get a Note 3.
I believe he's asked in comparison to the original note.... not the note 2!

Actually i've been considering of buying galaxy mega and sell my note. It's definitely a good phone even categorized for a mid range (I've played with it for a while at the store) and a upgrade for our note. If note 3 does not come with better design i think i'll choose for galaxy mega since the performance of the mega is really acceptable at leat for me.

The point is what you said is possible. Seems Sony is bent upon to outsmart samsung, even before note3.
One silly doubt what type of stylus it uses.

The Mega 6.3 destroys the Note 1 in benchmarks and is on par with the Note 2. It's not for me but if you like the size and don't need the S-pen it's a decent option especially since it's priced below flagship level.
As someone who owned an original Note and now owns a Mega, I'll say this: The mega is much, much faster! :good:
It's only dual core but the cores are Krait 300 cores, not A9's like in the Note/Note 2. That means single threaded performance is a lot better - and other than benchmarks and games, most apps are single threaded. To use, the device is as quick as the S4 (snapdragon version is the one I've played with) and nearly as fast as my Nexus 4 was.
As for the screen: Other than being 720p, it's top notch. Colours, contrast, refresh time etc.

Here are the Mega 6.3 benchmarks. In fact it beats the Note 2 solidly on most of them and it would completely destroy the Note 1.

the wallpaper may be partly to blame for that .. if you skip into the video to the websites the colours are very similar ... i will say the Nexus 5 screen looks slightly washed out .. but imo its a really nice display , super sharp and im much happier with these colours than the N4 ones.

Ya...looking at video *in* a video to deduce clarity and accuracy is ridiculous. Put them next to each other for yourself at the same brightness levels if you want to have a valid critique.
I've put it next to the Galaxy S4, iPhone 5S, and HTC One and played the same exact video file using the same application (with the exception of the iPhone, since it cannot run MX Player), and the screen on the Nexus was arguably the best of the bunch. Coworkers of mine agreed with that assessment.
You held it? Did you do an actual test? Did you make sure both had the same content on the screen? Did you verify all reference levels?
I'm actually baffled why iPhone users constantly find the need to compare their screens to other devices. The screens aren't even in the same category anymore. Most Android phones are much larger than 4 inches these days.

Blows it out the water? really ? I dont agree, but you are entitled to your opinion
This is really interesting, as it goes against a lot of what we've seen in leaks and early benchmarks. Since I'm about to receive my Nexus 5 in the next few hours I'm not complaining, obviously, but I'm just wondering if there's anything off about the test.
Could the fact that the Nexus 5 was brand new and just booted give it some sort of advantage over the iPhone 5s that, I'm assuming, has been used, loaded with apps, etc?
Bottom line I'm really happy about these results, finally shows off how silly and biased benchmarks are in comparison to real life usage. Also kudos to Apple for managing to create a dual core CPU that runs almost as fast as a quad core one. I wonder how it would have preformed had it been a quad core as well..

Funny I always hear similar terms used to describe apple products without any meaning.
I can see why you would think a 1080p 5" screen is blown out of the water by a 600p 4" screen.

How so? Isn't it running at a lower core speed than the Snapdragon?
Once you get your hands on a GS5, post your first impressions here for everyone to discuss.
Select Best Buys now have demo units available to play with, so I went and got my hands on one today.
First of all, they only had them in white, and the white version doesn't feel good at all. The back looks like it would have a soft texture, but it's hard slippery plastic.
The new version of TouchWiz definitely looks better, but it still seems very cluttered to me.
It doesn't feel as smooth and fast as my stock Nexus 5 running ART, but it's almost as performant as a Nexus 5 running Dalvik. TouchWiz is obviously still heavy because it should really be faster than the Nexus 5 with that Snapdragon 801.
ART is not available. I tried to enable it to see if it would make it as fast as my Nexus 5, but the option has been removed by Samsung.
Can't say much about the camera because it's hard to judge pictures of the inside of Best Buy. It did focus and capture fast though.
That's all for now. Will update as I think of more.

I don't normally like white phones but I find the love the dots on the face of the white version:
Reminds me of an old flame:
Will decide when I get to go hands on with all colors within this week.
I went to try the S5 out today at the Best Buy. It figures, I have 4 or 5 stores in my area, and the S5 is only at the one that is the furthest away (25 mile drive).
I have to say, I was pretty impressed with the phone. Build quality seems typical of recent Samsung fare. Navigating through the UI was smooth and peppy. Unfortunately I didn't have too much of a chance to dig deeper -- I had a Samsung rep and a Best Buy salesperson hovering over me to explain all the features I already knew about. Plus a line of interested onlookers was forming, so I let the next person look at it.
Best Buy has a preorder promo to get a $10 gift card. Not the greatest perk, but any money saved is fine with me. So I went for it.
The S5 is a really good phone. I played with it for a bit today and I predict that there are going to be a lot of surprised people out there. I think this is probably the best Samsung phone ever. Fast and responsive pretty much sums it up.
So how does the Ugly back cover looks in real? As horrible as we have seen in reviews?

No, the phone looks and feels much different in person. It really feels great and the cover has good grip and feel. I didn't really like the looks when i saw the pictures, but holding one and looking at it is totally different. I might actually get one.
It also feels way smoother then S4. No S Lag at all and the camera is very fast.

If you want a couple easy Note 5 features. You can start by removing your SD card and super gluing the back cover to your phone!

It is changed but the functionality of printing based on the fingerprint is only software related. There's not extra hardware needed for that function.

Can you count the amount of people that will actually need to use all these? Answer is yes because it's going to be a small number. I bought the Note series because of the pen. Know how often I use it? maybe 4 times a year. I got it because of my job at the time and as it turns out, I barely need to use it for my job now.
Exynos means no AOSP so you're stuck with Samsung's BS of a software. Only good thing about TW when it comes to Note is the Pen software!
4GB of Ram doesn't mean crap. Note 4 has 3GB of Ram and it's fast. Heck my wifes G2 has only 2GB and it still kicks ass. Antutu doesn't mean ****!!!
'Thiner' so that it can break? And since when does a thinner phone classify as a upgraded feature? Really?! iSheep stuff dude.
Better low light pictures. I can't even remember the last time I decided to try and take the perfect photo at night. Oh man....oh man...not again...
Streaming to Youtube....Oh you mean that's an upgrade because they changed some code in the camera app? Guess what, it's going to be ported!
Better Stylus....I'll give you that but that still doesn't justify getting it just for the fact that the Stylus is more like a pen now. Sorry
Premium Design...........LMFAO!!! That's the difference between buying a 911 GT and a 911 GT2. You're paying extra money because of the word premium. iSheep mentality. Samsung is actually succeeding in that department.
LTEcat9: Because our current speed of LTE Networks is totally going to utilize this feature right?
Look....the phone looks good. Actually I take that back. It looks like it needs to be in a bubble because it might break just looking at it. I know that's why you put it in a case. Why buy a pretty phone to dumb it down with a case when you bought it for the looks?!
And maybe you're into Specs; I'm not sure, but seriously. Are you really looking at those specs and trying to justify spending $799+ on that phone? You're better off just saying you like to have the newest thing when it comes out so that you have it.
If I was being a **** I'm sorry but I'm really tired of seeing all the force justified answers for why the Note 5 is an "upgrade."
I feel as though people are just taking what they are given because they aren't given anything other options so they just roll with the punches.
I see that other posters have stated "yes, samsung comes to xda and reads your post to give you what you want." I understand that they don't and thankfully they don't because if they really gave us what we want they would go bankrupt in a heartbeat. However, the Note 5 just doesn't make sense. They took away so many things that people use every single day. You wouldn't believe the amount of people that tell me they are so thankful that I recommended to them to get a phone with an SDCard to save their pictures and such because their previous phone didn't have it and they were thinking their stuff was getting backed up to the cloud and it wasn't.
blah...I'm off this..
Do you think the development people will be able to Chang the functionality of the note 4 fingerprint scanner anytime soon as it seems like it will be very complicated to achieve

I don't think it will happen because the development com would've used a port from the S6 by now. What do you think?
