Moving over to a Tab S 10.5" from a Note Pro 12.2" not much different in the display size but my arms will appreciate the weight difference and my eyes will LOVE Netflix HD.... Sears has a SWEET DEAL on preorder right now 105.00 back and FREE Tab S Book cover ? thinking if I should wait around on the 32GB Version though ?

Yeah I noticed that, hmmmm.
It's tempting even though I have a Note 10.14 already... :victory:
This is such a great tablet I can't imagine this new one, with that screen and size specs.

I think this is the first post in this forum.
Definitely would like at least 32 GB. Leaning more towards the 8.4". We have a 10" tablet, and it is just too big to use one handed. And by use, I mean hold.
The weight of both tablet is relatively low. The AMOLED screen makes for a thin tablet. The ahead-of-its-time GT-P6800 7.7 tablet is amazingly thin and solid. It's still a good tablet for media playing and web surfing.
I just pre ordered the 10.5 32gb version from Best buy, I wonder how they pulled the exclusive with the 32gb. I'm in the process of putting some sample files on a flash drive to test on one of the display models. Best buy also has the bronze and white book covers for 39.99 rather than 69.99. Glad I decided to wait for the release and didn't open my Note Pro, it's already on it's way back to Samsung.
Edit: So I went and tested two video files at the local Best Buy, Pacific Rim 1080p 12gb mkv high encoding 19 quality and Timescapes mp4 2560x1440. The picture on this tablet is amazing especially the nature scenes in the Timescapes file. The stock player was able to player both files with no skips or jitters.
I pre ordered the 8.4 from Future Shop (Canada). I am keeping my Note Pro 12.2 as my home unit, the 8.4 as my traveler (Read in bed) and Nexus 5 as my phone. I have no problems with a 16 gig unit. I used the savings and bought a 64 gig microsd. After being burned by Samsung in the past ie.. software updates and coming from a Nexus background I was hesitant to purchase the 12.2 but I have to admit that it has been a nice experience. The first tablet I haven't bothered to root. I think the 8.4 will be even better. Of course I will be keeping my eyes on this year's Google IO conference just in case they mythical Google 8 is announced. I just need to find a case and glass screen protector.
I am really tempted by this new tab
Especially since I sold my Nexus 7 2013 FHD, I really would like to replace that with the new 8.4 Tab S. I miss reading books and browsing the web on my couch or bed. I don't really care for the aesthetics mainly due to the placement of the buttons, it's just weird having the phone layout of buttons on a huge tablet, I prefer to have them on the sides of the device. Not a deal breaker though. I'm just torn on whether to buy this 8.4 through amazon as I have a gift card there for 300 bucks or save a little more and wait for the new Nexus 8 or Nexus 10 if they ever announce them. I have a galaxy note 3 and being a phablet I thought it would be sufficient enough in size to not miss my nexus 7 but I was wrong. The one thing I hate about Samsung is the bloatware and difficulty in rooting the device due to knox and voiding the warranty. I'd prefer to wait for a tablet using either the tegra 4 K1(32 bit) chip or the tegra k1 (64 bit) chip because the games on it would be fabulous, but like I said I am just itching to replace my tablet I dearly miss and this samsung galaxy tab S looks very promising...Woe me
for some reason the smartwatches here in bahrain and saudi are more expensive than in the US but the phones and phablets are cheaper, wonder which range this tab s prices will be here
I preordered this online on bestbuy (in canada) because when I went to do it in stores their system didn't let them help me. is this normal? anyway if you preorder from bestbuy canada they give you the folio case for free as well I believe and theres a lexar 64gb thats on sale for 70 bucks off until the 19th...
Noticed BestBuy, Futureshop, Staples in Canada all bumped their dates back to July 4th right away. Was saying June 26 for the first day or two. Amazon still says June 26.
I wonder if it will get bumped again. I've had horrible experience ordering online from bestbuy and futureshop. I'd try staples next if they had the free cover offer too.
I ordered the 10.5 white from Samsung store for $499, including Samsung's book cover case worth $69.99 as a gift... They promised 1 July delivery.

What color folio case did you select?
On both bestbuy.ca and futureshop.ca, only 3 colors (brown, blue, and white) are available for free.
When I add the charcoal black one to my cart, it shows up as full price.
I was going to go into the store to ask for the black one, but your posts makes it sound like they won't be able to do much.

I started my tablet buying addiction with Chinese tablets - lol. I have owned a number of Chinese tablets , TV sticks and TV boxes. My advice is to save yourself a lot of grief and buy a name brand tablet from a recognized retailer. There are a number of issues to consider. 1) The RK3288 looks like a good chip but Rockchip is notorious for producing buggy versions of Android. I know I currently own two Rockchip devices and if it wasn't for a dedicated user base debugging and producing custom ROM's, the devices would be useless. 2) If your tablet has a hardware defect you would have to ship it all the way back to China - usually at your own expense. It could take months to get it sorted out. 3) Chinese manufacturers tend not to support devices once they are originally released and since these Chinese tablets don't usually appear on XDA you are left on your own. 4) Many Chinese Companies quickly disappear for no notice. 5) You'll be kicking yourself for not spending that extra money for that great Tab S display.
If you do by Chinese then Geekbuying is a reliable place. They have always been good to me.
Hope this help,

Staples.ca is offering the Black one only for free. Not selectable. Go figure.
I just bought a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition. It's really nice and I actually like the S-Pen more than I thought I would... however, I'm thinking of returning it to get a Tab S instead.
From what I see, the specs are really close between the two tablets. Main differences appear to be the AMOLED screen and slightly thinner/lighter Tab S ... but then I lose the S-Pen. Both AMOLED and scLCD screens seem to perform nicely, so that's a matter of preference I guess. I have a Galaxy S5 and the scLCD on the Note side-by-side to my S5 AMOLED screen looks pretty close.
Thoughts? Do you think the Tab S will be that much better than something like the Note 2014?
Thanks
I am not sure about you guys but I do have a bit of regret purchasing the Tab S 8.4. Its a great tablet, build wise, however, all the bloat is a different issue. With rumors of the HTC Nexus coming 4QT2014 w/ crazy specs, a lot may be thinking if they should wait or not.
I've own the Tab Pro 10.4 great device but was within the window to return it for the Tab S 8.4. As android gets more mature same as the Vendors and their devices get more and more difficult to gain kernel level root access.
I was going to pull the trigger this morning on the 8.4 after playing with the demo at best buy yesterday...but I had to restrain myself. As impressive as that display is, the rest just doesn't do anything for me. I've decided to hold out for the new nexus HTC tab or the Shield Tablet, both of which are rumored to have the tegra k1 monster chip. I want front facing speakers ala boomsound, and at the very least 32gb of on board memory. I just know that if I purchase the 8.4 I will have buyers remorse very soon after, especially when better, stronger tablets are right around the corner.
And when the HTC tablet goes on sale there will be something else better coming out in 3 months. I've read the complaints about bloat and lag. Just don't have an issue with it. We already have root and within 2 weeks the optomized debloated ROMs will start to show up. I already use Nova Launcher and have no lag at all.
Buying technology is a guarantee to be in a perpetual state of buyers remorse. Nature of the beast. I wanted a tablet now and this was the best athlete in the draft. BestBuy took off $100 for my old useless tablet so I bought the 10.5 S and love it. YMMV.
Last I knew all nexus devices are absent SD card. That equals no sale to me.

Well there's your problem 8.4, come join us in the 10.5 room, much better
The HTC tablet won't be out until late October/November if past Google Fall events are any indication. That's a good 4 months with a great tablet if you keep the Tab S.
Any one know what's going to be in the HTC Tablet?
Bloat? What bloat?...I rooted and deleted every Samsung app....tab flies.
As much as I loved all the Nvidia (tegras) and I tried all. Even overseas. ALL get way to hot and battery life is awful. For me battery life is everything.
Like SO many others have said and here. By the time you wait for the new K1, you will hear of something better coming 3 months after that.
Just wait for debloated Samsung roms to hit, seeing the 10.5 already has root. I have already removed 90 percent of the crap bloatware from mine
I guess y'all are right, I think I've been spoiled by this Galaxy note 3. Only phone I've ever had for about a year and I don't have phone envy with any other new phones released yet. That is rare!

Seriously???? Check the development section.
You will not get that tablet for $299. The extra waiting and higher price was not worth it to me as I knew about that forecasted tablet and specs.
The S is great for the money and having it NOW!
Took my open box 8.4 S back to BB and just grabbed the $249 Pro. Samsung kiosk told me they still stock the Pro but were told NOT to disp, ay them anymore.
Every BB near me has open box S for sale already $339 to 359 for 8.4 and 459 for the 10.1
The pro seemed a little quicker to me though nothing earth shattering
The amoled screen is too colorful unless in basic screen mode, and then is not much better than the Pro with a little app tweaking
The S will be 299 or less by the end of the holidays or the Note will be out

It's all good you like what you like. I liked the colors on the Pro just fine. THE deciding factor for me was the text blackness. I just cannot stand gray text and love the black on the S. Hope you enjoy your Pro. The S will get better and better with OTAs and a few roms.

Honestly, after did the tweak with the color app, the pro was pretty nice. I will admit the colors at times look washed out on the pro compared to the s.
I had similar experience with phones. Got a Nokia 1520 because I thought the LCD blew away the Note 3
Heck, about 6 months ago I was deciding between nexus 7 and g pad. Likewise, in 6 months there will be newer toys and these soon forgotten.
I think ultimately I just don't want to shell out the extra money right now

Yes, it is all good but I personally would much rather have the S for $299.
The screen is just beautiful. Watching movies, the blacks are black and I just love the colors, yet the 32gb version... just not worth it for me. I can get a NEW note 2014 32gb for $160 less then what I paid for the Tab S. So I did.
I'm currently on a Coral Blue S7 Edge but with the new Infinity Display i kinda get the feeling black would be the best seeing as the front is black too.
what do you guys think?
Anyone upgrading from an s8 have any opinions on the s8's colors?
Edit: i ordered the Maple Gold 26.08.17

Black is boring.
Orchid gray is purple and too girly
I have a maple gold S8 plus and its okay..prefer the gold on the note 7 and s7s
Havent seen the deep blue one yet but i doubt ill like it either.
Was looking fwd to getting a silver one but looks like they wont have that....i may pass on the note 8 then.

Like the blue but probably will get the black.

I want the blue bt I'm here in the US. Mad mad mad lol. Can we get the unlocked blue one and it work here on Verizon or is that a total no go!? I know people here know that answer lol
Sure you can get the blue international unlocked version but it would only work on GSM providers like T-Mobile or AT&T. No CDMA so won't work on Verizon.

Same colour options options here in Southern Europe. I have also opted for the black. My SGS8+ is also black so I wanted a change but the maple gold is rather 'bling bling' on a mobile that size plus the camera set up is all black and not in matching gold as previous iterations have been.
My choice would be a deep burgundy but................:crying:
Black it is. No matter as its going in a case for protection then in a shocksock attached to my trousers so I can't drop it nor get pick pocketed.
Lot of money.............serious cash!

I am right there with you...im so PISSED about the color options here. Canada is even getting BLUE. like WTF. so far I only seen the unlocked option in black. I really don't want black and the orchid grey I'm not to sure about. I heard its really different looking then the s8 orchid grey so I might have to see in person. I was also thinking since the back is really the biggest difference, buying a blue back and having it put on. just not sure how I would keep the ip68 (if I can get the special adhesive). if I knew they would eventually release it in blue in the US, I would wait it out. I wish I could kick Samsung in the balls right now.

How will will it work on the GSM's? I have t mobile and my consider this but now sure how exactly well it will work(drop calls, LTE, etc). I never used an international phone in the US before. I know people do it but not sure of the pros and cons. also any place to buy it other then ebay? I don't see the international ones on samsungs website. I would hate to get screwed into getting a clone note 8 or something.

It will work like any other handset. The Note 8 international version (SM-N950F) will support T-Mobile LTE bands 2,4 and 12 so 4G will work just fine. The only potential downside is that it won't support the higher frequency band 66 which T-Mobile is currently rolling out in large cities to deal with network congestion. Another con is VoLTE and WiFi calling may not work without flashing ROMs or rooting but that's the case for many non carrier handsets. A big upside besides color selection is that the Exynos chipsets in the international Samsung handsets have historically had much better battery life than the Snapdragons in the U.S versions.
And you can definitely get them on Amazon instead of eBay. Just search by model number. For example for the S8+ international version search G955f on Amazon.
Also a big con is your warranty won't be valid in the US. I've never had to use my warranty but it's something to consider

i know from the past that they have a few different unlocked variants. all the ones ending in f will work with LTE.
i just wish i could buy it from Samsung and get the 425 discount since i checked my eligibility today.
Black one for me. Don't like the way the camera stands out like sore thumb on other colors besides black.
Midnight Black for me this time.
I went with the Coral Blue Note7 last time it looked unusual.
Plus we are all going to be using cases, so does the colour really matter nowadays?
What I really want is a transparent phone, like the gameboys back in the day.
Hello,
as per the title;
N950N 512gb ocean blue
1x grey spen (in the phone)
1x yellow spen (in a yellow box with papers and a clear tpu case)
do all note 9s have 2 pens?
a quick google search did not yield any details.
Just one Lavender spen in the phone SMN-960U1 512GB unlocked made in Vietnam. I got the Lavender because I didn't like the yellow pen. Would have considered blue if grey spen was advertised.

In Korea, they have "Special Edition" 512GB models.
Ocean Blue and Lavender, which both come with 2 S-pens and the jelly case.
In Philippines, 512GB has only one color. Midnight Blue. and only one yellow S pen.
Australia only got 1 s-pen.
You can buy an ocean blue s-pen in Korea though.
So friends have told me.
Actually, it looks more grey then blue
I´ve got mine (128GB - Ocean blue) in Germany with only 1 S-pen.

I got a Black SPEN in my 128BB Exynos model.
Funny thing - I tried using the Yellow S Pen on my Black phone and the Yellow S PEN wrote in WHITE on my Black Note 9. It wrote in Yellow on the Ocean Blue Note 9. I wonder if the color of the SPEN is detemrined by the PHONE not the SPEN?

gonna check the color tonight. And from the looks of it, 'pen pairing' is done by simply docking it in the note 9. this will deactivate the other ben. i was kind if hoping being able to use them both or to leave one in and use the other as a remote....

I could use either pen - in the Exynyos (Black) phone - the Yellow Pen wrote white. That is what I thought was weird. It wrote Yellow on the BLUE PHONE but when I plugged it into the Black Phone and then used it for screen write, the pen wrote in white, not yellow.

Yes, $50. And at least in the US, they only show the purple one and the yellow one on the Samsung website! UGH!
Hi Neighbors,
In fact I used all of them. Which one would you choose ?
iphone 12 pro $1060
S21ultra+two case+watch3 45 mm $1231
Pixel 5 $650 or something like that
which one would you buy?
when in doubt i always decide based on > saves money, and moddable when i get bored.
which option do you think fits that description?
your choice in the end though.

Definitely Pixel 5, too much of a fan of the form factor. The iPhone is really pricy I'm not ready to pay that much, S21 is the same. I think I will never pay 1000$ for a phone, as much as I love that, they're just not worth 1 month of hard labor (espacially frickin samsungs that won't receive updates ever again).
I mean pixel little slow. But money saver great ui exprience a to z
iphone is basic but consistly good performance and good sell value
samsung just so many freebies
Ads on ui
Poor cam performance
No voice mail on us version

Exactly Thats my only concern thats why iphone 12 pro more handy than pixel 5 1’ bigger ant thicker frame
I end up ordering pixel 5 best buy open box excellent condition for $650 tax included.
Thank you neighbors it is too much $1200 for phone.
I own the pixel 5 and honestly, it is a decent phone but I would not say it is a great phone. The camera is decent but not a show stopper in my opinion. It is very affordable - and can be customized and rooted pretty easily, but frankly to my mind, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is the phone to get. Samsung consistently puts out the best phones with awesome cameras. It comes with a higher price but then you get what you pay for.
As for Apple - I personally do not like the Apple experience and will never buy an apple device. Just not for me. You have to make your own mind up based on what is most important to you. Best of luck.

Nothing perfect in the life. I am okay with pixel 5. I just picked up very happy so far
Pixel 5 is not even close to this other 2. S21U is the best without any doubt.

Yea i guess it's one of the reasons I refuse to upgrade my AT&T Note 20 Ultra to an unlocked S21 Ultra, since att version is sold out. Not worth the headache. Last time I've gotten an unlocked Samsung, SMS didn't work properly either
I was lookin ay my Pre-Order on Samsung.com and noticed that the delivery date for the device has changed - originally after buying it, Samsung posted a delivery Date of 1/27. Today, when I looked at the order it has changed to an expected delivery date of 1/29. I know it is only two more days, but I had my hopes up it would come early. Not sure why it changed - hope it still comes as they originally said.... anyone else see a shipping date change for their Samsung Pre-Order?

It is a great device however I hate see ads on ui and loosing basic features for that price I just couldn't. Able to make. It
so you'd never pay more than 1000 bucks on a phone yet you're asking people to tell you which phone to choose from 3 - where 2 are way more than 1000+
either you have nothing to do with your time or you're talking ****
