Hi everyone,
I will be upgrading in late Feb. The options are: another s2 or Note.
Love my s2 (rooted with Illusion-xT v1.4.2 - XWKL1 2.3.6) , played a bit with Note and its size is not a problem for me.
I really have no time to go through the forum to find my answers.
I'd like to know:
- the battery life compared to s2
- does Note do everything that s2 does?
- call recording quality pls, does anyone use Total Recall?
- application compatibility with s2
- overall performance compared to s2
- your experience if you are owning both s2 and Note
- TV out - like in s2?
Thanks a lot guys!

About roughly the same, the 250mAH is to feed the huge screen. I get the same video playback time of 9hrs on the S2 and on the Note. Gaming might suffer since it needs to compute for more pixels.

No issues, Andriod apps mostly scale to the screen and if they dont developers fix then quite fast.

The Galaxy Note is different device but is an upgrade for the Galaxy S2 in a way.

Some say the note lags/UI stutters more than the Galaxy S2.. this is only true when you use the pinch to view the home screen or the app drawer which is a TW issue, anything other than that the Note does things FASTER than the S2 which is expected as it is a better device even under the hood.

I find it difficult to now use a phone with anything less than 5.3" of a screen, this is one major drawback once you get attached to the Galaxy note.
Altho both phones are not with out its issues, faces similar issues on both ends though
You havent asked this but the GPS on the Gnote is amazing, you can even get a signal lock indoors all of this due to the GLONASS that it has, but its not that accurate as compared to dedicated GPS devices yet.
Thank you EarlZ
Yes I ve forgotten to ask about GPS as I am gonna use my Copilot and Sygic very often.
What about TV-out - the same as s2?
Howdy.
Typed up a quick compairison between the two if you wanna take a moment to read it here.
One thing that I didn't mention in that post is TV out, and it's exactly the same as you would do so on a GSII; plug in an MHL adapter.
I personally haven't used GPS on the phone enough to count, but everyone else who has, has said it's the best they've used thus far. Much better than a GSII
If you go for it, you'll love it.
And hey! If you're not satisfied with it, go ahead and sell it and use those funds for either a new GSII or, when the time comes, put it towards it's successor.
But I doubt you'll want to once you get your hands on this baby

Just took a quick peek at your post and I noticed you mention at 25% there is no issue viewing it under direct sunlight? I even have issues with the S2 or the note at 100% brightness under direct sunlight well ofcourse this varies how bright the sun is shining though.

I've personally never noticed any issues. It could very well be that any light that I was under wasn't 100% dead on, but my Note screen is always one of two brightness levels: 25% and 0%. I've never had a need to crank it any more.
Are you a big guy? (ie 6" + ?)
Then get the Note.
qwerty1q said:

Used on both. More or less the same, yes.
For both devices, however, the system UI outputs at native resolution. So when you're web browsing or just going through menus and such, the S2 is at 800x480, the Note is 1280x800; noticeable difference.
I will say though, that the Note does seem to slow down quite a bit when hooked up to the TV for moving about the UI or playing games and such (mainly because, not only does it have to render 3x as many pixels already, but now it's doing it twice over(!!!), it's quite a burden, and it shows.
That said, it's still (mostly) functional, and when using it for video output (even full 1080p), it is flawless there.
P.S. I'm selling my international GS2 if you're interested. Send me a PM
UPDATE 15 October:
Embargo has now lifted!
I got THREE additional videos now live; the full review, camera, and audio review:
UPDATE 5 October:
I've been informed on 5 Oct to not post anything further on the Pixel 5 until the embargo lifts (which I can't communicate when that is).[/B]
You can find more information about the device via my Twitter feed; incl battery updates, camera shots etc.
Hi everyone,
Seen there's some love for the Pixel 5 here at XDA (Hi again XDA gang!), so as I have the phone in front of me. What do you need to know?
I'm looking to get confirmation from my source to see if I can extract the camera.apk for you, but before sharing any files (including original photos from the Pixel 5), I'm getting it confirmed. Rather be safe than sorry
Anyway, ask away, I'll try my best to answer everything I can.
Oh, and my video on YouTube of the phone (if you don't believe I have the phone), is live on my channel too:
EDIT: Latest YouTube hands-on video has just gone live!

Hey, thanks!
Can you confirm that you can switch to the Ultra Wide Angle camera in third party apps (Snapchat, Instagram, etc) when doing a pinch zoom out?
Is there an Ambient EQ setting in Settings>Display>Advanced?
How much bright display is?
Can you force 90hz from developer settings?
How is haptics?
How is stereo speakers?
How slow it feels to flagship phones like Pixel 4 or Note 20 Ultra? Especially if someone is using 2020 flagship phones.
How does the screen brightness compare to the 4xl?
The wallpapers on the promotional images are included? Can you share? ?
Since you're able to hold it and use it, is it worth the price they are retailing it for ?
How are the stereo speakers, are they comparable to the 3XL ?
How responsive is it ?
How's the feel of the device, slippery or gritty like the renders suggest? Does it support hdmi output from its usb-c port? Still squeezable? Fp gestures for qs return? Pixel visual core is present? Any feature parity between the normal and ultrawide cam? What's the max slo-mo fps? Anything major is missing? And sorry for asking so many questions. ?

I don't use Snapchat, so can't comment on that. But on IG I can't zoom out, but can zoom in. Same happens when I'm on the S10+, however.

It gets REALLY bright, haven't measured it yet - but I suspect it's above 500 nits.
'Smooth Display' can be enabled via the Display options: 60->90Hz automatically.
There's no additional option in the dev settings
Haptics feel natural, nothing to report, other than it's located at the bottom of the phone.
Stereo speakers upon first impressions are pretty poor; they sound tinny. The S10+ trounces it.
Feels fluid so far, but can'#t really pass much judgement as I've only had it for a short time.

Both features will probably come in a Pixel Feature Drop, then. Thanks for sharing!
How is the screen quality?
IE: coming from a QHD Pixel 4 XL to the FHD Pixel 5?
Add Build.prop file please
What's the screen brightness? Is it brighter than the 4 XL? I have googled everywhere and just no answer about something so important.
Also is the battery life significantly better and do you think it's worth buying coming from a 4 XL?
Edit: nvm just saw your replies! Thank you! Is Ambient EQ available under Settings > Display?
It's not listed on the Store site which is suspicious.
So I was lucky to be one of 100 first people who order S21 Ultra Exynos in Thailand. As the part of the campaign, I got the phone early and only need to pay $0.7 (21 Thai Baht) for it. Already got the phone in-hand without any NDA, so ask me anything!

I think all three photos look very nice when zoomed to be "full screen" on my 1080p laptop screen. When I zoom to 1-to-1 pixels I see that there is a small bit of jitter in the photo. It looks like you couldn't be 100% steady when shooting (who can? We're talking very small pixels here and your arms were probably outstretched in the air) and the phone was not able to completely remove the sway. But, this is only noticeable when zoomed in 1 to 1. Also, some parts of the image are a bit muddy at that zoom level. I expected this as packing 108MP into a small sensor is basically guaranteed to make the actual pixels a little muddy. In these high brightness pictures the image looks as good as I'd expect. I would not feel bad about being able to get quality like that. Now, that still does leave everyone with the question "what about when it's dark" but we'll see.

The exynos version heats up much faster than S20 FE 5G which has snapdragon 865. It is much hotter than 865 during gaming and i experience some frame rate drop after playing at 1440p for extended period of time. Turning down to 1080p reduce fps drop and reduce heat slightly. However, after idling for a short while, it cool down really fast. Don't know about snapdragon 888 version though.

It crops in when enabled, basically you get less view in the frame as it stabilizes the video.
I keep mine off to fit more in the frame as I don't walk around much while doing so and hold the phone steady in hand.
For a much wider view, remain in photo mode and hold the shutter button to record video. You get the full ultra wide view to record though you can't switch lenses and it's at a lower resolution.

Do you have a theory of how the phone can stabilize video without cropping?
Another thought - you can never recover the portion of the video that is cropped off, you will always miss those details that would have been captured if not for the cropping. However, you can always use a video editor to apply video stabilization after the fact, and judge whether it's worth cropping in.

Sadly, usually stabilization in editing can often ruin the video. Especially WARP in Premiere. But indeed pre-cropping loses detail. Nothing is perfect.
I also was baffled when I realized that having the initial stabilization option ON, crops the image. I thought that the OIS was managing to do the job without cropping. I guess limited understanding is at fault.
Regardless, the ultimate solution to have stable video and maximum detail is having a Gimbal. As of this point China has a plethora to offer for like 50euros on average.

Are you using SD or Exynos? I'm on Exynos, and as I said, I did notice this cropping before. Now I can't reproduce it anymore! However, I can easily tell the difference between stabilisation On/Off by eg. running/jumping up and down while recording video. When off, it's really quite jerky. While with it enabled, it's surprisingly stable.

Sorry my mistake. I was looking for crop the wrong way. Yes cropping still exists with stabilisation on.
It's a pity there's no shortcut button to enable and disable while in viewfinder? If recording while eg. walking, stabilisation really makes a big difference. Otherwise I agree, I prefer it disabled overall.
For the S7 (and I think S9+), I actually disabled video stabilisation as I didn't think it actually had any noticeable benefits, and it tended to cause more "micro-jitters". For S21 Ultra, it seems to do a pretty good job at stabilising though.

Xiaomi has not released that feature yet to their global rom It is currently only available in their beta version of the China rom, which Xiaomi.eu is based on, so it has that feature available now in their weekly rom.
It's not pratical to be used like front display. you can use it to answer/reject calls or change music, but i can tell you the number of times i place the phone on the table facing down by the fingers in my hand
It could be used as a light source(bright white) for close up shots but then again you can do it with flash as well.
I wished they had replaced it for one of these Macro/microscope/nightvision/thermal/blackandwhite camera
and add a mirror that does square so you can see yourself instead of a amoled screen
I would also like to see somethings like on OPPO new continuous zoom lens.
Oppo introduces true continuous zoom lens for smartphones
It should be sharp at every step from 85 to 200mm

Still in beta, so we can't expect everything at this point. However, the majority don't use pro mode anyways. Just like most people don't shoot in RAW, so the fact that a small minority of users aren't happy, doesn't really matter in the larger scheme of things. Patience grasshopper.

Im sorry, there's nothing anyone can do about that. The rear display combination with the rear camera is still in beta and whenever they release it to the general public, no one knows and whether or not it includes pro mode, there is nothing I can do about that, otherwise you can take my advice and download Xiaomi.eu weekly, which is based on the beta China rom to be able to use the rear camera with video features. BTW, who needs pro mode for selfies anyways?

The rear display combination with the rear camera is still in beta and whenever they release it to the general public, no one knows and whether or not it includes pro mode, there is nothing I can do about that, otherwise you can take my advice and download Xiaomi.eu weekly, which is based on the beta China rom to be able to use the rear camera with video features. BTW, who needs pro mode for selfies anyways?

Faces details are soft with auto mode
Pro mode has sharpness control
And has no xiaomi beauty mode that includes with auto
Try it with yourself
Go to pro mode
Increase sharpness
And shot
So faces and indoors photos are way better with pro mode
Colors are accurate too

So...;it's amazing this site is called XDA DEVELOPERS and it used to be a website for developers and hackers to share their work. Now everyone here is just whining and complaining; My icons are missing; My alarms don't work; I'm not getting messages; My wifi isn't working and on and on... Just remember, we are either part of solution or part of the problem.

So you are saying if someone has a problem(not knowing if its a bug or a feature) don't come here and try and ask for help to solve it?
This is a community forum that doesn't negate helping others no matter what is your knowledge or what the issue is and not everyone is at your rank of wisdom you know?
....but better then wisdom is patience and tolerance, you either have it or you don't.

I think there is more frustration with this particular phone because it was expensive ( by Xiaomi standards) and a lot of people who bought it are inexperienced noobs who want it to work like an iphone 12 pro max but even though the hardware is stacked the software is atrocious
Combine that with the low international sales count compared to the s21u etc and you're not going to have a lot of development going on
If I wasn't able to get the 12/512 for China mainland price I also would have bought another phone
The camera simply isn't as good as it should be and you will notice the 108mp cheaper regular mi 11 camera often takes more detailed pictures ( except zoom or night shots )
, if this camera was actually good they would have used it in the mi mix 4 and the mi 11t pro but looks like even Xiaomi know they dropped the ball here and tried to sell it on spec alone without the necessary software to back it up

OK, does that mean you are incapable of flashing another rom? I merely am telling you that there is a possibility, whether you use that possibility or not is your choice. That doesn't require an answer that makes it out like it's an impossibility.
So am i right with MIUI Global 12.5.6.0 i can't get notifications on the rear? In None of the Global Versions?
I'm a little bit confused

Yes on notifications, No on your ability to use rear display as viewfinder for rear cameras.
