[Galaxy Note 3 General] SAVVAS.:
If this Note 4 picture is real, then it seems the screen is bigger , I would say 5.8-5.9' as the phone has reduced all around bezels and the screen seems to me wider and same or slightly taller.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] a5ian300zx:
looks good, but i want stereo speakers :)

i wonder if the screen will be new type of screen as they rumours had it.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kuromusha38:
can't see the picture, just a maze looking thing.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SAVVAS.:
Yes it looks better at least on the front and on the sides . I also hope to have better speakers but I doubt it to be on the level of HTC or even Xperia Z2. The screen it seems its not the rumoured new type and I can't see how this phone is waterproof according to this design!

Of course these observations are based on that unconfirmed picture :eek:

No idea , to me it works. You can see them on GSMARENA;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kuromusha38:
I see the picture now.

Looks fake. Too much metal.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] note_FTW:
Sucker for the Notes. Ill get the 4 even though It may or may not be a big "evolution" over the 3. Guess time will tell
[Galaxy Note 3 General] universexda:
For me, my Note 2 (soon to be Note 4 dev version) is mainly a handheld, mobile computer. In that capacity, I'd like a larger screen to enhance the computer functionality aspect of the Note. So for me a 6" screen would be just right.

It's always good to have displays that shine. 6" with a super high resolution would be heaven.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bogdan1980:
Confirmed, 5.7 and 2500 res screen, 805 cpu, 3gb ram. We need more then this for this resolution.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sirobelec:
If the gsmarena leak turns out to be true, the new Note is gonna look sweet.

But unless it finally packs with a 64-bit processor, it won't be futureproof.

As for the people who want the 6 inch phablets with styluses, I think there ARE such things on the market.

P.S. Samsung makes the most ugly-a** phones, but they also seem to make the best functionality high-class phones: good screens, batteries, specs, and so on.

But the TouchWiz is DISGUSTING. You buy something that looks like a panel from the cockpit of a spaceship, it's named GALAXY, you turn it on... and instead of some cool dark-blue spacey crazy fast theme, you get all that green bubbly s**t.

If it was me, I'd fire the whole UI design team.

Currently running CM11 with Jelly Bean Extreme theme, cause it at least has that aforementioned dark-blue all over the place and I'm having a hard time putting that phablet down. :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] CLARiiON:
Should have known by now that Samsung couldn't care less about choices of people in XDA.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bogdan1980:
I like Touchwiz, but i always use Nova launcher prime, it's faster, zero lag, could set menu button holding for clear the ram, for keeping my home button new. Regarding xda, more and more people search for root, custom kernels and roms here and on any website. It's quite rare to see an person with unrooted phone these days. Also all China cheap phones, tablets came rooted/some even with overclock. This is the future.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Johev:
Hi all, I am going to be a little controversial by defending Touchwiz a bit.

Don't get me wrong I am not amused by it and it can definitely be improved, however I don't understand people that buy a Galaxy Note and then load CM on it. Again, I also like CM and I used several variations of it on my previous Note 1, however that was after the support of it got discontinued by Samsung and I did end up returning to the developer tweaked stock ROM for better use of the pen and stability.

For me, the main reason Galaxy Note stands out its unique feature, the pen. I find it very useful as I use it extensively for note taking and drawing diagrams. Unfortunately many of the features that the pen offers are only available with the use of Touchwiz, which means that by choosing a different type ROM we are turning the pen into a plastic finger with no added functionality (maybe the hovering dot is the only one that I got working well on other ROMs).

Back in the days where Galaxy Note was the only reasonably sized smartphone, I did understand that some people just wanted something bigger than the standard 4inch that was available and were drawn to the Note. However today you have plenty to choose from, so people who want a 5+inch phone no longer only have the option of the Galaxy Note line-up.

As for the lagginess, I am don't see it that much. I use mine very extensively and it does everything I request it to do in a very reasonable time. Almost no waiting for applications to load and the 3GB of RAM do help a lot here.

On a side note, there are some applications that are TW based and have not been ported to other ROMs that I enjoy using very much. The "Calendar" and task integration with "S Planner" on the Note is one of the best looking I could find. I did try and actually bought business calendar, and other productivity applications to offset the lost of the Samsung specific applications when I moved to a different type ROM on my previous Note 1, however none of them were as good looking as the "Samsung Calendar".

So these are just some personal thoughts on the Samsung approach with the TW.

Have a good day, and as Adam says "Hack on!".
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Jiyeon90:
Get your eyes checked, I can even see the pixles on the iPhone 5, so 5.5 inch with 720p with pentile matrix would look totally horrible
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hovscorpion12:
The LG G3's 2K (2560x1440) looks amazing. I compared it to my Note 3's 1920x1080 and I could tell a slight difference. The Snapdragon 805 which is said to be inside the Note IV supports 4K video display (3840 X 2160). Having that display on a 5.7" is mind blowing. I bought the Sony Zperia Z Ultra 6.5" and was way to big. 5.5"-5.7" is perfect and should be the norm.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sammath:
I would like it to have a 5.9 or 6 inch screen. Can't stand Samsungs designs anymore tho, all the phones look the same imo. Hopefully it will be a fresh new look else it's going to be something else.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Flowbax:
5.7 is perfect. I would not like Note to get just bigger and bigger. For those who would like Note 4 to be 5,7+

This is how funny you would look like. :laugh:

Picture shows Sony Xperia Z Ultra with 6,4. Of course there is a difference between 5,9 (some users suggested) and 6,4 but still.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Toxina:
5'7 is the perfect size to me.

i think instead of making phones with bigger and less memory they should just always include a mini sd card slot and give them in 2-3different sizes.

i recently bought a htc one m8 which i returned because the screen is to small to me, 5'5 or 5'7 is just too good to look at.

I like Note 3 physical dimensions - I wouldn't want them to be any bigger. The screen could be larger though: it could cover almost all of the front with software home button.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bogdan1980:
5.7 is too much if not changing to smaller bezel like LG.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lvnatic:
I'm sure you do
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
These things have been around since 2003....

Ever seen these kinds of things before? If you haven't, there's a pair in the box your phone came in!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Flowbax:
Never seen that before. Anyway my post is about using the phone as it is. Can't believe I have to explain that and it's all about personal taste. Mine is 5,7. You want a big one, then just hope for it and buy. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] stesteste:
think id like 6 inch? as long as phone size doesnt change other wise im happy ?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] jazzmachine:
4 GB ram has me sold. IMO, having 3 gigs impacted the killer performance on the Note 3 significantly. Kicking it up to 4 (based on the leaked spec sheet) makes this a freaking beast on top of the other "arguably best currently available components". Snapdragon 805 was expected... I'm down. Too bad we're not at x64 yet though. I just got a text yesterday from T-mobile informing me that I'm "now eligible for JUMP", so honestly this thing is practically already in my pocket. It pretty much boils down to a decision between walking to the T-mo store on the corner and swapping my (beloved) N3 for this, or resisting the overwhelming urge to do so. So, ya know, we'll see ;)

I am going to wait until the development community gets going a bit, and hopefully dwitherell builds Tweaked for it. But ya, I'm very happy with those specs; IMO def more than an incremental upgrade. The only thing is that based on leaked shots, the aesthetics are pretty "meh". Honestly that and build materials are extremely low on my list of priorities; it's not like I'm not going to immediately toss it in a super-slick looking case (as I've done with every phone I've had ever), and stick on a tempered glass screen protector. There are SO many different styles of cases for the N3 (and every popular phone), many of which completely change how the device looks, so I've never really understood people having major complaints against "style elements" that don't pertain to functionality.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bogdan1980:
4gb just mean more space for bloated sammy boot. When i bought my first note3 it was almost memory full. Rooted, greenify, startup apps disabled and now im at 800mb.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] avocco:
I would definitely advise against getting the Note 4. That phone will only ever be premium for 6 months at which point it will be forgotten by Samsung.

When the S5 launched earlier this year, did Samsung consider launching an update to bring our Note 3 inline with all the software enhancements? Im not talking about download booster but the overall UI and extra features.

Im running the ported S5 Rom on my Note 3 and this things feels and looks light years ahead of any stock rom.

HTC have got things right on the ball. When the M8 launched they bought over the new UI and extra features to the old M7. You will not see Samsung doing the same because they want you to go and buy there latest device.

If Apple really does launch a 5.5 inch device and the next Nexus is really 6.0 inches, I will be long gone.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] HanZie82:
I dont think i will buy another Samsung.

I mean their hardware is top notch, but the software is soo bad it makes me want to cry. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] posedatull:
Dude, want more than 5.7inches? Get a tablet. Think how uncomfortable it would be to hold a 6inch or more to your ear. And you cant use headphones all the time, lets be serious. As for the note 4, to be honest i am not impressed. 1080p is more than enough for this size of screen, and the difference between SD800 amd 805 are too small to be worth it. I'd rather keep my N9005 beast until Note 5, it will still be a powerful phone until then, and hopefully N5 will have x64 processor. As far as I am concerned, phone tech advancement is starting to slow down, and the differences between the new phones and the old ones are too small to be worth upgrading right now. N4 wont bring much over the N3, not even close to the difference that was between N3 and N2. Hopefully next year N5 will give a real, palpable difference
[Galaxy Note 3 General] muamers:
you guys must be kidding? if you want a bigger screen, then buy a galaxy mega or galaxy tab instead ... i personally am satisfied with this size of screen ... i would prefer cuting some edges instead.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MatroxD:
I couldn't agree or say it better than you have. I work in IT and this thing is an indispensable tool. Yes, it's nice to watch video and past games on, but for those of us that use it as a tool and are heavy on the pen, 6" isn't a too far stretch or ask. The original purpose of the device and line (notes) was for a large screen productivity and artistic device. I am on my third and the only reason I purchased this one was because my 2 I thought had broken. But screen real estate is essential and key.

I understand at the same time that a lot of people that have recently picked up the device don't even use the pen, or better yet, game on it. And hey, that's their choice. But for people that use it professionally and have been using them that way, a Bluetooth headset had always been the norm. I personally can't stand holding any phone to my ear, but that is me. I also wear slacks every day, and have no problem fitting it in my pocket (I don't wear tight pants like a girl)..

It is a mini computer and for me, I use it as such. The 4gb of ram, personally I think should have been on the last model(along with other sensible things) . And Samsung (though they won't care of course) needs to stay true to this series. Maybe if they do increase the size of the screen , which would be sensible, dropping the 4k stuff, they wouldn't be in the situation such as with the s5 and though trivial, a slump in sales.

I will be disappointed if they keep the same screen size personally, and hope they come out with 2 versions: bigger screen for the people that actually need it, and those that don't. That would be more sensible than coming out with say a spec down mega or some other named device. They would certainly make more sales.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] afridiim:
I am afraid its correct that Note 4 is getting launched with 5.7 Super Amoled. I am disappointed too.

But hey don't worry LG G3 Stylus is getting launched with 6.1 screen QHD and Stylus with Palm Rejection... MY next phone ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fracture8:
Then you you'll definitely be waiting buddy, if you can, please tell what's not right about that 5.7 inch screen, I get the whole thing about your hard earned money but dude it's just a phone
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Grimlock1973:
It's just a phone? What kind of stupid comment is that?! The comment "just a phone" are like the ones where people say a Ferrari is "just a car" or a Bell & Ross is "just a watch." I want a larger screen phone so I can consolidate my devices down from carrying a laptop, tablet, and a phone. A 6 inch note 4 will give me a little more screen real estate so I can stop bringing my 7 inch tablet around. Is that a "good" enough answer for you? I don't keep my phone in my skinny jean pocket so the larger the phone the better!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lilstevie:
When I am in schools I wear slacks, and when I am not I wear loose fitting jeans. My slacks have the least room in the pockets and only just fits the note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MatroxD:
I saw that also with the LG, but the problem is not the inclusion of the stylus, but the integration with it. Honestly, if someone else could get it right, then I would definately consider it. But the last LG attempt was weak at best.

---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

Lol, you must be a little fella..

I have seen women carry their note in their suits pants without a problem(like 5'8" and below). Given, these are tailored clothes, so with that in mind, the fit may not be the same.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lilstevie:
I'm not. My pants are a reasonably normal 98cm/40". If you read my post earlier I mentioned that no part of it can be seen, but much bigger and its outline will show or a corner will stick out. I work in a school environment where we are allowed to have phones on us, but students must not be able to see them as they are not allowed to have phones on school grounds, and we are to set the example etc.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] EarlZ:
I could careless if they even went down to 5.5, Samsung really needs to focus more on screen quality control and consistency.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] LaZer713:
Bigger than 5.7???buy a Tablet.... or wear a purse :laugh:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sacky73:
Anything beyond 5.7 is too big. Think about a Note 4 at 6 with a case on it. Which pocket do you put it in? 5.7 is sexy and define the category really well. If this trend continues we will end up with a 12 inch tablet with a resolution of 3000 pixels per inch
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Rippley05:
I agree. Samsung makes a 6inch phone and it doesn't sell. 5.7 is plenty big, just need to trim the bezel.

There are some sexy Samsung note tablets for you people that must have bigger. We've reached a point to where it can't grow any larger if it wants to sell well.

I'm just hoping for a little less of an ugly touchwiz UI and the ability to have a 5x5 icon row.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sacky73:
Sexy up the physique, trim the bezels and tone down touchwiz and that will make for an even better Phablet.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] universexda:
5.7" to 6" no biggie

Sammy can probably get the 5.7" Note to 6" just by narrowing the side margins very little and perhaps by adding .1 to the total length perhaps by taking a bit off the upper and, or lower margins.. So basically using the same external size specs we can have 6" easily. For me 6.3" like the Mega would nice as well. Still about the same size as the current 5.7" with left/right margin reduction and a tiny bump to internal (not even exterior) length.

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

Sammy sells the Mega which is 6.3 and so far I haven't heard anything about them discontinuing it.

I think there is a gap between the largest Sammy smartphones and their line of Note, stylus featuring tablets. I would only buy a Note tablet to have a stylus, so the Sammy Mega and the Sammy Tab line is out for me.

The smartphones max out at the Mega 6.3 (but actually 5.7 for a phone with a stylus like the top of the line Note series). The next Note tablet above the 5.7 Note smartphone has an 8" display. Quite a gap to me. In addition to desiring a 6.0" to 6.3" Note smartphone, I'd like to see a 7" Note tablet from Sammy. If it had a phone that would be all I need in the smartphone/table category.

---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

For me, I perform and expect mainly computer features and support from my Note. At work I use my employers land line (doing strictly work activity). At home I have and use a land line as part of cable company provided triple bundle. I rarely use my smartphone for voice. I rely on smartphone mainly to perform computer related mobile based activity - Email, Skype, Twitter, Wikipedia look up, IMDB look up, Merriam Webster look up, Slate magazine, Salon magazine, New York Times news and opinion, camera still and video operations, etc. Thus I could use the extra screen size of 6 to 6.3 inches.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Rippley05:
No offense universexda, but you're the minority. You want tablet/computer features in a high end smart phone, which the Note series seems to be. Only you want a bigger screen, which not many people want in a phone. 5.7 is the max, in fact, they need to shrink the bezels to make it more user friendly.

I can appreciate that everyone's needs are different, yours are just unique to a smaller number of people.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lvnatic:
No matter how many arguments you bring, a phone will never be a reliable productivity tool. There are laptops and tablets for that. And wearing headphones or Bluetooth headsets is one of the dumbest arguments. Nobody does that non stop, headsets eat battery and headphones are uncomfortable. These are hands free options for when you drive the car and stuff like that, not when you go out or just a usual day at home. If you want bigger phones there are many other alternatives. But please, don't call them " productivity tools".
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lawtq:
I agree with you about the headsets and earphones. But to him they are productivity tools, so he can call them what ever he wants , cause that's what they are to him.

I'd have liked to have seen 5.9 screen with smaller bezels made possible by getting rid of that Samsung logo. It could have been done. But I'll accept this. I feel the whole thing will be an increment update to the note 3, 805 cpu is not exciting me at all, not much difference to the 801. Oh well.

The whole new phone thing isn't half as exciting as it used to be
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lvnatic:
Smaller bezels means a lot of accidental touches on the screen. Trust me that's annoying. I toyed with the LG g3 for a bit and I hated the small bezels. Especially when playing games.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lawtq:
I had no such problems with the g3. Only sent it back because it was a heat induced lag fest of a phone with dryer than a rich tea biscuit battery life. Pity because it looks so good and I loved the small bezels.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
Headsets eat battery? I use my Note 3 for music literally 14 hours a day non stop with headsets. Using the headset drains significantly less than the speaker.

Not to mention people are much, MUCH more easy to hear, and they can also hear you a lot better, if you use a headset with a mic. Especially on public transport, as it means you don't have to shout with the volume at 100. Something the other 300 people in the train much appreciate.

As for not at home, equally ridiculous. It's so much easier to call your mom whilst you're making dinner if you don't have to use one hand to hold up the phone. I just keep it in my pocket and use the headset.

My 12.2 inch tablet takes offence to that.... :p
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lvnatic:
As someone noted, you are minority. Im talking about the 80% regular people and we dont care about you.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sacky73:
If they shrink the bezels but keep the same overall phone size, weight and similar form factor then that maybe acceptable to many. A phone of much larger of physical size would be too much. I am sending this message from my note 3 with an s-view case on it and then afterwards it goes into my pocket on my slim fit pants. Any bigger and I would have to give up my slim fit pants.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
If you're the majority, why do I see everyone every day using a headset all day long for both their music and their phonecalls?

Perhaps that is not the case in Romania, but the majority of the western world long ago learned the advantages of headphones. You've clearly never tried dialing someone in the morning rushhour.
