[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 954wrecker:
I'm hoping the 2016 nexus 7 with android 7 will be a true beast on the inside and a beauty on the outside. The last batch the 5x and 6p are just not my taste. I just love the amazing dev support and lightning fast updates. Once the design gets back on track now that the cameras are getting descent I think they are the only way to go.

i mean how is a phone with just on screen buttons taller than a phone that still uses old school touch and capacitive buttons? And seriously why does a phone camera have to be that obtrusive and ugly?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dirtybudha:
OH SNAP!!! S7 will have SD support, so here's to hoping the next Note does too!!

"... but we get a clear look at the SIM and microSD card tray, so we know it’ll come with external storage support this time around."

Guess I'll have to pay off the Note5 before the Note 6 comes around.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
Yea me too..im grabbing the 7 for my wife and n6 for me, curious to see the official release...starts at 1 in 3 min i beleive...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dirtybudha:
Looking good??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
Ohh yea awesomely insane....3000mah battery up from 2550 i think, micro sd slot with dual sim slot, camera is out of this world 1.7 ap with dual pixel tech blows away any camera out and prob not out, water and dust proof, he said 5 feet of water fully immersed for half hr. Im def preorderimg for my wife cause u get a free vr, and im really excited for the N6. Only thing that surprised me is no usb c.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
Ohh and a couple add on lenses for the camera too. They didnt say about the chipset but my best guess is sammys new exynos for us and snap 820 for others. The black version actually looks black like the note 3 again not saphire which i like.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
Front camera 5mp, f1.7, selfie flash, quad hd 1440 front face recording, fast charging and wireless charging, 577 ppi display, $650 for 32 gig version expandable to 128g, no pressure sensitive display but always on display which is pretty sik, back is curved like note 5, ip 68 water resistant from the inside this time not like s5 with little door on charging port, has a copper tube inside for cooling similar to air conditiiners, Vulkan Api plus a ton of new features for gaming, 4g ram, hopefully ram management is fixed, mm 6.0.1, the camera focus is sickly fast using 100% of the dual pixels compared to iphone 6s which uses 5% of the pixels to focus, i think thats about it besides the accesories like the 360 camera, vr, and extra camera lenses.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dirtybudha:
I read up to 2Tb, 200Gb, blah blah. I think it's more than 128Gb support.

This makes me thrilled to see what the Note 6 will be.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 954wrecker:
Mostly good news in my opinion for the upcoming note 6. The time between the release of the s7 and note 6 will give us a chance to see the s820 and exynos pros and cons before deciding on the note 6. I think i read somewhere the usa gets snapdragons and everywhere else exynos. I just hope Qualcomm hit a homerun after striking out on the 810.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dirtybudha:
I had read that Snapdragon was having Samsung help them with this chip. If this is the case, then the 820 should be a great processor.

I think the US is getting the Snapdragon processor as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
I think this is going to be a great year for a variety of offerings! This one looks pretty cool but don't know if it will work on US carrier.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dirtybudha:
Oh ho ho ho, that IS sexy. I'll be interested in the rest of the specs. Good to see some competition for the Edge series.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
If the N6 is like the S7 with Sd tray, water n dust proof, always on display, etc ..i might actually keep it for a couple years n pass my n5 to my son whos using my old N3 now....msciin that phone looks insane i just cant get away from the Note series, its like an extension of my right hand...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
Well, if actions speak louder than words, I'm still on my Note edge. Luckily tekhd has done a nice job on his hybrid note edge rom (basically like Note 4/5 galaxy Edge) which does not have the original edge features. Also, been really using the spen much more recently. I don't know why but response of screen is much better with pen than finger. One thing I wish it did better at is mimicking pinch and zoom. Right now all I can do is double tap with pen and it only magnifies one notch up or returns to original magnification. Would be nicer if it magnified in a continuous fashion. Anyway, for my next device, I do not want to give up the wide screen like on my Note Edge. But to switch, alternatives would have to really step up. Overall Samsung is really doing a great job with software, camera and spen. At least SD820 looks like a real winner so performance should be good on all new devices unless software is really mucked up. So for now I'm just window shopping.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:

Dang it, every time you share a link to this device it makes me question whether or not I should have bought the Note 5.

Such a nice device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
I'm sure Note 5 is fantastic. I wouldn't get a Le Pro Max till more is known. Several reasons. Still not really available. Don't know if there is going to be a version that works well in US. It might be that it can get LTE using AT&T (850Hz) but that still has to be verified. Also, as far as I know, no micro sd. May other unknowns. Can it be easily rooted? I can live with just using Xposed if need be but some dev love is better. Amazing price though it continues. It's size may be just big enough it could be a tablet replacement.

I think the note 5 is my last samsung if this carries over to the note 6. I'm sure nexus will come up with something good by android 7.0 so i wont mind.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cuezaireekaa:
Yeah such crap. This has really pissed me off and I know a lot of you feel just as passionate. Android is meant to be OPEN. [emoji36] Fffffffff

With that said, I do like the s7 but it needs dpi adjustments, some moar font, viper4, titanium, hell i can live without xposed maybe.. lol.. but not without build.prop edits and system access ffs [emoji37]

Dude i just wrote a 20 min reply and it didnt post? Fu@k
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
Long story short, if N6 is the same ill be going to the Nexus next. Multiwindow and wificalling working plus Dwitherell and Beans are there. Leta Cr@psung.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 954wrecker:
I hate the samsung and carrier approach. I love the nexus being unlocked for any carrier both gsm and cdma. The different processor for different regions pisses me off as well. I just hope the 2016 nexus has wireless charging and isnt hideous like the 6p.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
Me too but i might go that route anyway. For my wife and daughters no root is fine. For my son he uses apps that require root and i cant live without root, i tried so many times. They should really put out a dev addition for us who dont use Samsung pay and want root. Im totally with you man i hate where all this is going. Main reason why i left Verizon. Now that TMo has us they wanna lock us up too. Devs get sick of it and leave. Probably 1 of the reasons Dwith and Beans went to Nex...i dont blame them. Seems like freedom is being taken away little by little with Samsung phones
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
Hi sshafranko. Would you provide a link to what dwith's lastest work is on Nexus. Thanks!

P. S. Huawei might announce some nice phones (P9 Max) early April.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dirtybudha:
It's not Magenta, it's Sammy that's locking us down. Not gonna lie, i might consider a large Nexus device...or the Moto Pure line.

Ohh really good to know. ..i was wondering that just too lazy to read into it. Yea D made a switch to the other side. Starting to look like the smart side. ..if im not mistaken he got the 6p and hes wife the 5. I think hes using that project fi set up from Google too where you only pay for what you use no monthly fees. Seemed interesting but i use too much data it wouldnt work for me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
I have a feeling we're about to see a serious curveball thrown into the N6 by Sammy....the curve ball is called TIZEN. Tizen N6 and laptop....what do u think?

http://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_is_al...end_tizen_phones_due_next_year-news-15059.php
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
Another Sweet option sammy added to the S7 which N6 should have is wifi sharing. Now you can keep wifi on and share it to other phones via hotspot. Nice feature ex. when at a hotel and u have to pay for the wifi per device....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
Do you mean Wifi Hotspot? That's on my note edge.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 954wrecker:
The typical hotspot turns off wifi and uses data
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
It would be quite awesome if there is a high end device using Tizen. Tizen is closer to a standard gnu/linux distribution than android. It's multitasking should be better. It won't have the huge number of apps and development support as android to start out but it might catch on. I'm always up for trying something new. Hope it happens!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
Although the specs are likely to not be completely accurate, I would consider it. Says it uses band 4 but is FDD-LTE. Is that compatible with Tmobile?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
I just posted this in another thread but it looks like theres some hope for the Note 6. TMO took notice of the locked S7 loaders and is trying to fix the situation. I really hooe they consider this for the N6....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dirtybudha:
BOOM!!

Magenta to the rescue!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cuezaireekaa:
Oh I soooo hope so. The s7 is amazing device to have . my favorite in terms of looks, feel and it's damn fast. But me need a ROM to get rid of some of the default options but even root would suffice. Man I hope so...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dirtybudha:
Shouldn't have gotten it so quickly out of the gate!!

Muuahahahahahahahaaa.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cuezaireekaa:
True that, but I wanted the vr and I think I would've gotten the edge by now anyway lol. I really like the phone. Especially how its so much smaller, yet the screen looks guge on it. Screen to body ratio is awsome.

I still havemy 20 days to return if I want to keep my note 5 but I think I will be sending my note 5 baack and just keeping this s7 root or no root. That's how much I like it and I'm really enjoying Samsung pay. My note 3 is my ROM playground for the time being. Still amazed at how good that old dog still runs and the development on it. Just got me a glass screen protector, 200gb sd, and two new anker batts so i can use it as a full on media/ROM flashing device. Even cm13 is awesome on note 3 but I favor the note 5 ports like aryamod. First pre order I've ever done. Jumped the gun pretty fast lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dirtybudha:
I snagged the Note 5 in hopes that i could stack the "Gifts of the Season" on the $200 Samsung credits...but you can't. Snagged $100 in rebates, and $290 worth of cool stuff from the "Gifts".

I feel ya, cuz i want a VR for my phone too...for free.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
This is what turns me on about the Nexus. If the Note VI is locked i dont think i can do it. ..plus im tired of being the last to get updates. Lg 3, 4, Htc M8, M9, Note 5 international, Verizon all got Marshmellow updates already. We're waiting for MM and Nexus owners are using N.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dirtybudha:
You want some cheese to go with your wine?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
Yes, but you will soon miss your spen! lol I'm still looking into the P9 Max for a change. Apparently FDD-LTE is used by US carriers so that should not be a problem (please correct me if I'm wrong!). Then just depends if the phone has the appropriate frequency bands. Also, this phone has dual 12 mp rear camera. I don't know if that is the next greatest thing or a gimmick (is it used to make 3D photos?). Has expandable memory and processor should have very good performance. Don't know about gpu. Huawei has been cool about rooting so far... Anyways, if it turns out that the camera is a fantastic upgrade over Note Edge and LTE works on US carrier I may go for it.

http://www.oppomart.com/huawei/p9/huawei-p9-max.html

EDIT: Looks like it uses band 4 for LTE which is used by At&t and Tmoblie. We shall see!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
Manchego please
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
Your right about the spen i really do use it a lot eapecially with the new feature to take quick notes i use it at least once a day. If i do leave the Note series tho i have a hard time going to anything but a Nexus tho. You cant beat Nexus if your a flashoholic and the updates are instant. Just never ending play time if your into that sort of thing and i am. I guess what will really sway my decision is seeing the new Nexus 7, and the bootloader situation on Note 6. Who knows if Note 6 is locked and Nexus 7 sucks i might be joining you on Huawei...honestly i have a hard time pronouncing that lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Melodic13:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 954wrecker:
I'm just tired of samsung and it's games.

Tests say Exynos Galaxy S7 more powerful than the Snapdragon version http://androidcommunity.com/tests-s...owerful-than-the-snapdragon-version-20160316/

Battery life from what i can tell so far shows the snapdragons are getting killed compared to the exynos version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cuezaireekaa:
Yup looks like their in house chips are a better fit for this phone. I'm getting great battery in my use and that includes heavy games. It really is efficient in my experience. And battery sure beats my note 5 so I'm happy with that. I really can't complain, even the sounds d and their own eq is pretty good in comparison with my two notes on viper. Just not louder but still great sound quality. Camera is no comparison imo. I would get the occasional blurry photo with note 5, but it's always clear and focused on the s7. I need that, I'm horrible with timing when taking quick pics. I've made some sick movies with s7 also . Camera stays still as fekk and makes beautiful shots.

Still though , wtf Samsung. Guess they only gave us snapdragon because wifi calling??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
Note 5 is exynos and we have wificalling so dont think its that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
Honestly im not surprised. It seems like SnapD has been having issues with the last few releases especially with overheating which they mention in the link. Samsung actually helped with building the 820 for the S7 but do you really think they're going to make the SD chip better then their own inhouse? I doubt it. I have no complaints with the N5 exynos chip other then no Aosp/CM support and it blew everything in 2015 out of the water. I wouldnt mind getting the exynos on the Note 6, i dont really plan on using Aosp and loosing all the functions i bought the Note for but i do miss messing around with CM a little.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 954wrecker:
Just to remind everyone how important good development is for a phone. I recently updated my note 3 that was running tweaked for years. I'm now running a note 5 port that runs better than my actual note 5. Aside from the hardware limitations of the camera and the fingerprint sensor of course. Got a brand new battery for the first time to replace the original and now it outlasts my note 5 in every scenario. So not only is great hardware important, I think great DEV support is even more important.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
N3 has been my favorite phone out of all the Notes. Honestly comparing it to the N5 id really have to think about it. I love the true black color, bezel size, home button and there is no Note from 1 to 5 that can top the battery on the N3. I used to get a full 24hrs with 10hrs screen time, the best i ever got out of my note 5 is around 20hrs and 7 screen. My son uses it and i offered him my edge or a N4 when i picked up my 5 and he declined.
