which is the best? Samsung galaxy note 3 neo or Samsung galaxy s5 mini ( Finger print i love it hihi but check this comment from another member for finger print http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55297050&postcount=4 his say isn't fluid ) , or i buy again s4 value edtion
Sorry for my bad english
Purchase the the mini s5. :good:
I have no problems with fingerprint.
Runs very well. :good:
In addition, we need here in the mini forum every man.
Maybe you're a dev and can make good Roms for us... :fingers-crossed:
Purchase the S5 mini brother ! :highfive:
thank you very much , i have another question , for battery life is it good ? I await the opinions of other people and i I'll buy
I recommend Note 3 Neo because it has the s-pen which is great, it's bigger than S5 mini with 1 inch and it's more performance. You need to thing two times before you buy one of these phone. Note 3 neo is performance, but s5 mini has a fingerprint sensor and it is water resistence.

Ok the battery is only 2100mAh and the Neo has 3100 mAh.
My phone is now running 17 hours and I still have 68%.
I make some phone calls, internet and email.
But you have to decide now.
The mini has some features that the neo has not.
Fingerprint, Heart Rate Monitor, Waterproof ...

Yes S-Pen is good.I also have a Galaxy Note 2. :good:
The two phones are very different. We got both in our family. The note neo is the big one which you can use best with both hands. The S-pen is a goodie but is not often used. The display is very good and the os works fluid.
The S5 mini is my new favorite. It's perfect to use with one hand, very fast and got an very sharp and detailed display! The fingerprint sensor never got any problem.
You have to decide between a business phone (used with 2 hands) with the pen (writing or painting) or a small one which you can carry with your trousers and write with one hand!
So, I hope this will be helpful. Excuse my English.
I strongly disagree with the guy above about the S5 minis display. It's soooo far from sharp and detailed as it gets. The 720p resolution just doesn't do it on this phone. It's impossible to read small fonts and read Web pages without zooming. Unfortunately a deal breaker for me!
I can buy a brand-new, unopened-in-box Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 or 8.0 on Craig's List for $300. I'm deliberating which one I should get. I'm leaning towards the 8.0 because of its portability. (I'm coming from a Galaxy Tab S 8.4.) Which one would you get and why?

9.7, because I use it mainly for reading and browsing desktop mode websites.
I bought the 8" and previously I had the Note 8.
I prefer the 8" for portability, light, easy to hold.
I had a 10" before, not Samsung and I don't feel I'm missing anything by having the 8.
I wish they had upgraded the Note 8 but mine no longer kept a charge for more than 1 -2 hours.

Almost certainly the 9.7 model. Its still highly portable and the extra screen area makes all the difference.
I went from a Note 8 to a Note 10.1 to the S2 9.7. I'd definitely recommend the 9.7". It's extremely light and portable and it seems like there's a bit of a better accessory selection for the 9.7"".
Oh, and according to math the screen is approximately 1.7" bigger
I had the 8 for a day, cause i thought it would be nice to have a smaller tablet, and it just wasn't working for me. So i went and got the 9.7 version and it's much better, for me.

I prefer 8.0 and using it now, great for reading and gaming in hand. Previously I always get bigger edition +/- 10" tablet and I was wrong getting it, it is too big and troublesome on handheld gaming.
Or should I just hang on to my trusted, first-generation Tab S? It would cost me about $100 to upgrade to the S2 if I take buying a case and tempered glass screen protector into consideration.

I looked into this a bit more. I took my Tab S 8.4 to Best Buy and did a thorough side-by-side comparison with a Tab S2 8.0. I've concluded it's really not worth upgrading to a Galaxy Tab S2 from my original Tab S. It would cost me too much to upgrade, particularly with a new case and a tempered glass screen protector, and the upgrade simply isn't worth it. So I'm going to hang on to my trusted Tab S.
--Ron
Well, actually... I just found a Galaxy Tab S2 on Craig's List with an official Samsung book cover, which I was able to negotiate down to $280, so I might take the plunge after all.
--Ron
had a note 8.0 before,and I love the 9,7 screen,also its just 80g heavier (including the cover),so its not more a strain on the hand than the note 8.0 was.
did I mention I love the screen ?
I think everyone thinks it's not worth the upgrade. Me Inc. Until you get the Tab S2
And after a couple days you realise it really is we worth kt
I took the plunge. I was able to sell my Tab S 8.4 with official Samsung book cover for $260 on Craig's List and buy a brand-new-in-box Tab S2 8.0 with its official Samsung book cover for $280 (also on Craig's List), so I basically upgraded for 20 bucks. Quite a good deal! I'm going to set up my new Tab S2 tonight. Am very curious!
--Ron
I ordered a Used Like-New condition S2 8.0 from Amazon Warehouse Deals for $300, which is actually just $285 after my Prime Card 5% discount, plus $10 for the skinomi glass skin protector.
9.7 is less comfortable in one hand for me, but it's a matter of preference, you probably know which size tablet you prefer if you've ever owned one or used a friend's or seen one in a best buy.

I amm very interested in getting either a S 8.4 or S2 8.0 mainly for reading books, can you offer your insights? THanks!
I love my S2 8.0! It runs much more smoothly than the S 8.4. On paper, the specs aren't that much better, but in practice I'm seeing a big performance improvement. I thought that the lower screen resolution and 4:3 aspect would bother me, but they really don't. The screen is still gorgeous, and the aspect ratio works just fine, also for watching videos. If your main purpose is for reading books and web browsing, then I'd say definitely go to the S2 8.0, unless you can find a screaming deal on the S 8.4. You basically can't go wrong with either. I'd suggest to look on Craig's List, where you can find great deals on both the S2 8.0 and S 8.4. I can imagine that many of these tablets will be offered after Christmas.
Good luck deciding!
--Ron
IMO, it's the same amount of inconvenience to lug around an 8 inch or 9.7 inch tablet. The main reason I buy a tablet is for screen real estate, so the 9.7 was a no brainer.

I love my 9.7. I had a Tab S 10.5 and this is is perfect. Great size, performance is amazing. Much better than original tab S. BTW, both of my tabs are the Verizon versions

Completely unrelated to the current topic, but I wanted to let you know because I had a similar note 8 issue after the kitkat update. What I did was open the back panel using a guitar pick, and then simply disconnect and reconnect the battery. The note 8 has worked fantastically every since, getting the full 8-10hr battery from it.
Edit: I also have the 9.7. I think the format being similar to the ipad air and the 4:3 screen makes it fantastic for reading research papers which is what I do a lot. Web browsing also feels like its a couple notches better because on the phones its either too narrow for reading content in portrait or the menu and url bars are too invasive in landscape. Of course you get big borders when viewing most video content. But if you are like me and watch movies in the dark, say in bed, the borders aren't visible because of the true blacks on the display.
Thanks for your hint on the battery.
I've actually ordered a new battery and will see how it works.
I've ordered the Dot Pen and I hope it works. I really miss the S Pen
Hi,
I'm thinking of getting myself a gear vr with either a Galaxy S7, or a Edge7. I already had the chance to play around with a Gear VR and an Edge7, but I was wondering if the S7 would give a different experience due to the smaller screen? These phones have the same resolution, so the S7 has more pixels per inch, meaning a sharper image, but since the screensize is smaller, would that affect the field of view? Would I get a "smaller" screen? Or would that be a simple matter of adjusting the focus on the gear itself?
Maybe that someone has experience with both devices and can tell me the difference?
Thanks!
Hi,
I've played around with the S7 Edge and the S6. Both looked pretty similar on the Gear VR, since it zoom in the screen I do not think it'd be much of a difference - at least it wasn't very noticeable for me. However it has been some long time since I last used it, so maybe I may be confusing things.
All in all, there is not much difference between the two I think. If you have the budget go for the S7 Edge - larger battery - else the S7 will be just as great.
All the best,
~Lord

Thanks for the info!
Having a larger battery is indeed something to think about...
Both of them will work perfectly but I would go with the SGS7 Edge as it has a larger battery.
Hey all* I am hoing to upgrade my mobile phone and thinking about upgrate to Galaxy S10. So what do you guys think? Buying Galaxy S10 would be a best choice or not? I have seen many people own an S10, was wondering if you had any suggestions for cool* gifts for the S10 owner in your life. Could be anything, cases, screen protectors, any type of accessory...
just looking for ideas here.Let me know in this thread and tell me why your item(s) will make a great gift for any S10 owner! Then I'll decide whether I buy Galaxy S10 or not.
Hi, I had P20 1 year and P30 1 week. I change it for my S10.
This is simply one of the better Android phone at the moment and the better for me. First, S10 plus is better, but I found it too big like the P30 pro.
So I choose S10, perfect to use with one hand and have the best screen possible.
It's a perfect package without too be the very best in anything.
Accessories, I had wireless charger but it's slow, so I don't use it except at night sometimes.

^well said! Enjoy this badboy! Cheers
Best features?!
Remapped bixby button. Enough said. ?
I do have an OtterBox defender and invisible shield though and those are a pretty sweet combo. Galaxy buds are an awesome addition too. Bixby routines makes for some sweet magical happenings.
FYI....
Galaxy Watches and Buds 2 Pro are now better companions for your phone's camera
The Samsung Galaxy Watches and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are now better companions for your Samsung phone's camera. Here's how.
www.androidauthority.com
Yeah I went with another pair of Buds+.
Twice the battery life and they stay in place.
There's no "wings" on the Buds2 pro to help them to stay in place. The Buds+ also double as ear protection because they are sealed.
So... once again I went with a older Samsung product then it's newer counterpart because of the lose of key features. Not to mention a significant price increase.
Losing the wing and the 5 hour battery life killed it for me. Whenever you buy one of these designs you don't know if the fit will work or not until you actually wear them.
So knowing the older design does work for me also tempered my decision. Upgrading from the original Buds to the Buds+ was an easy decision as their physical dimensions are identical, even the wings are interchangeable. Win-win the older Buds can be a parts queen now
The watches, meh, thought about it but not really that useful for me. kciD Tracey would've love them though...
