  6. Love that Xperia z3 but can't imagine the kind of money it'll demand.. And I'm very happy with my OPO 🙂 maybe I'll go for z7 😛

  7. Why why why why? Normal human eye cant see more than 300ppi. Why they even go over full HD on screens up to 5"? More pixels mean more power needed and more GPU processing power also. And at the end you get something you can only see if u use a magnifying glass. Wouldn't it be more logical and useful to stay at 1080p yet have faster graphics and lower power consumption.
    I really hate the politics of this companies. They don't even consider what people need and like, they just need to but some better numbers in specs so someone would buy it. If u ask someone why would he buy a new phone he will more then likely tell u better screen, camera etc. But whats stupid and funny is that they are gonna give 700$ for a better screen where he/she cant even notice a difference, a camera which pictures generally cant be projected in real resolution on any screen (more than 12-13mp is useless), better CPU even though last one run android smoothly. I asked my self sometimes, when will they make a phone that will be ENOUGH for normal usage. S5 is that phone. I know battery will be improved in future and someone will come up with 5G and holograms but that's not the point. People who agree with me pls like this comment, I wanna see how many reasonable thinking people are there.

  9. "Near perfect android phone" So the software is the only thing that keeps it from being perfect ?
    Anyway, my father wants it because he's a heavy user and did like the sony NXT line, and he was waiting for the Z2 compact, but wasn't made, so he's getting the Z3 compact, as i'll get the Z3.

  11. +androidauthority should i buy the Xperia Z2 for 540$ or wait for the z3 wich will probably cost like 750-800$ in my country. Please reply as soon as possible.

  12. @Android Authority Can u run a benchmark when you guys are able to get a hand on Note 4~ Just curious about Note 4 Frame Per Second with 2K resolution display~

  14. The note edge is not plasticky, lol it has metal frame as well. Just funny how you so easily dismiss the note edge as gimmicky like it isn't useful. When you can launch apps view news messages, messages, social media feeds etc. it utilizes screen real estate and does it well.

  15. I liked the new Samsung Galaxy Note Edge. Was saving my money to buy the Note 4 but now thinking of buying the Note Edge instead. Looks different and innovative from all the other ton of devices that we already have.

  17. The Note 4 looks incredible. Wished it was 5.9-6 something, for more drawing/painting area to make it easier to draw, as well as for viewing space but it looks amazing, the specs are fantastic. It will FINALLY have 2048 points of pressure sensitivity that the other $1000-$2000 Wacom tablets have! They seemed to really listen to their customers this time around.

  19. I currently own the note 3 and one thing that I'd like to see improvement on is the battery life. I usually have to bring my charger to work because I run out of juice before the end of the day. Having a quadHD is great and everything, but I certainly hope that they improve the battery life for the note 4. In addition I still notice "S-lag" sometimes, and with a device with top tier specs this should be non-exisistent. 16mp camera seems promising, the note 3 camera is OK, it is very poor in low light. The finger print scanner and heart rate monitors are gimmicks, don't need them. Kudos to Samsung for implementing a metal band, the plastic band on the note 3 chips easily. All in all, for me it doesn't seem like a worthy upgrade from the note 3 to note 4.

  24. The note 4 8 by far the best phone out. The fact that it's not waterproof shouldn't be a factor. Let Face it.. The Galaxy s5 Is For People Who Only Use Phone For General Purposes Not For BUSINESS.. The Note 3 And 4 Are Phones For People Who Use Them For BUSINESS

  28. Note 4 speaker is on the back, unlike Note 3.
    Note 4 is not waterproof. What Samsung is thinking?
    Note 4 lose use back USB 2 port, unlike Note 3.
    Fail…

  30. I think the Note 4 is really awesome. I currently have an S4 and don't have the money for a Note 4 but defentley a badass phablet!

  32. I love how the note line tried to improve in every possible aspect; design, batery life, software, overall quality and experience, and reviewers seem to be skeptical about it… meanwhile sony and motorolla come with phones that have minimal changes, very minimal in design and almost not existing in software, and everyone is loving them… every phone should be aproached with an open mind, without comparing it to what people expected, not just sony, motorolla, or any other non samsung phone :/

  33. In matter of software and hardware yeah it is an upgrade but of the lookimg, not really when I saw the front of the black note 4 I through it was a note 3

  36. As a current Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S5 user I can say I really do think Sammy missed a couple knock out punches with the Note 4. For one, why no water resistance? I mean it works brilliantly with the S5 so why not? And while we are here, what kind of weak excuse is that? (Paraphrasing) 'The Note is more for productivity oriented people and the S5 for generalists' uhhhh, what? So, I can't also love having a slick water protection feature and add photos to my scrapbook?

    No USB 3.0 either? I mean WHY THE HELL NOT? And before anyone gets started, USB 3.0 was more beneficial than just providing a charge boost, so I don't agree that the new battery alleviates the issue of it being removed. As one of these 'productivity' people (I guess), I loved the fast transfer times of my big, 1080p videos I shot from phone to desktop and vice versa. Plus, with it being wider, it provided a larger base that ended up being more durable in the long run! But hey, they removed it anyway because……Samsung.

    Love the new design even though I think we were all expecting a screen size boost to 5.8 or 5.9, at least I was. Not really a fault there. Kinda was hoping to see a 20 mp shooter too but I think Sammy is trying to slow down to preserve the brand. With Apple coming with a phablet, they wanted theirs to look premium as well so they majorly focused on that and I understand that.

    Coming from a still great Note 3 its just a little underwhelming. If u didn't have the Note 3 or don't currently have one, I would expect u to be blown away though.
