[Galaxy Note 4 General] Hannah Stern:
Samsung's Self Destruction: Screwing up the new Phones

Warning: Huge post ahead.

New Thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3183666

Yes. Screencast was good. I wish the Note 4 also to have no EFuse.

This is, why eFUSE is a horribly bad idea: http://xdaforums.com/android/general/efuse-dont-t3140740#post62081981

The big advantage of the Note 4 over Note 3 is the OIS Camera.

But the User Interface is so ugly and has many less features than Note 3 and S5. The Note 3 had S Finder in Air Command.

And here is everything, which i'd like on the Note 5, which is missing on N4. (HARDWARE):

USB 3.0

Waterproofness

Temperature Sensor

Humidity Sensor

Air Gesture Sensor

TSP-Hovering aka AirTouch (for Air View and it"s gimmiks.)

Hall-Sensor

UV-Sensor

UKW Radio Antenna LW MW SW FM and jFM

Force-Touch

Robustity of Design (2.5D Glass as known from S3)

Revertable EFuse

Dual-LED Flash

OIS-Selfie-Camera

480fps and FullHD - Like MT6795 does it.

4 GB RAM

Colour Spectrum (RGB)-Sensor

Laser-AF (is not so important, if Samsung manages the AF to be so fast anyway.)

OIS with more Axis and higher stabilisation level.

But i like the new S-pen-Design and Touchscreen Sensivity.

I miss the times, where the S2 was the #1 Phone.

AirGestures were useful, when your hands are dirty and ´ýou want avoid to make the touchscreen dirtý. See:

But the S6 with project zero was just horrific.

Or:

I hope the Note 5 not to have this ugly S6-Like logo:

The old logo with the Smart „S" was much better: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/3/38/20150721132405!GalaxyS6_Logo.Png

Please make the TouchWiz not uglier. the S3 Waterful TouchWiz was wonderful.

Now the S6 with it's TouchWiz looks like negative colours of S3 UI.

Please bring the coloured arrows and battery icon of the Status Bar (DropDown) Back.

And i'd like to access everything from the dropdown menu.

Another Post from the S6 Thread:

Yes, it should not be completely removed, but there should be the costumization possibility to enable/disable it, whenever you want.

However, this new Lollipop App Switcher was already there in 4.4.4 -only for the Note 4.

Fancy Switcher can also get Lollipop, but they are able to access the app infos.

In the HTC One M9, you can hold down the app-icon. Why not in Samsung's phones?

I am sorry to say that, but on the S6, (which lost thousands of features anyway), long-holding the left key is now sacrificed for something else.

Here is another post from the "S6 destroyed MHL" thread:

[MENTION=1846109]hella356[/MENTION] - Your Galaxy S7-E (Note5-E) was a defenetly a very good idea.

[MENTION=596066]bbbobbbo[/MENTION] - Thank you very much. :) Finally somebody understands me. :svetius:

Samsung made other manufacturers like Apple very happy with their Project. It's just sad to see, how Samsungs Phones improoved before, but now, they loose more and more features. If the purpose of the feature lsos is, is, to save space storage, just build phones with bigger space storage. That's it.

4 Camera Disadvantages for S6 and Note 4, which were easy to avoid.

Burst shot Limit: 30? The S5-Models (except G900F) had 1000 and iPhones+Xperia's are unlimited in Burst shot! The S6 Processing Power is also enough for unlimited burstshot. The same applies for the Note 4. It's hard to live with the 20-Burst Shot Limit of the Note 3. Why? Because it is not better than the S4 GT-i9505 (aka ShowOff-Phone 2. S3 GT-i9300 was ShowOff-phone 1. But i9506 and i9305 are no ShowOff-Phones.) I also can't believe, that the LG-G4 is limited to 30 in Burstshot. The G3 still could do 100.

The Lollipop-Touchiwz-Shutter sound is so ugly! The older Samsung Shutter sound did sound much nicer! There must be the possibility to change it.

Try pressing the iPhone-Camera-Shutter Button 5 Times in a Second. It will ALWAYS shoot a photo. The S6 also has a small shutter lag, but not as small as the iPhone.

The S4 Zoom and K Zoom had soo many camera features. Yes, i know, they are hybridphones, but it's nice to have their features on a normal phone.

A camera app has to start fast. There must be the possibility to set up, how the camera should be started. (e.g. Automaticly Record HDR-Photo and record 1080p@60fps Video//Do nothing//Record Slow Motion Video. (Like Xperia Z can do.) )

But more features will make the camera app to take longer to start and the camera-software will be slower. So i suggest two different camera apps. The one with less features it for the Quick Start.

And there should also be the possiblity, to switch between those camera-applications, inside of them. Both camera-apps should be able to launch each other, without exiting the app and searching the other app on the app drwaer.

I think, the next thing, which Samsung is going to do, is, to make OnScreen-Capacitive Buttons (in Lollipop, they got ugly anyway), which eat many screen pixels at the bottom.

See:

The S6's Headphone Jack:

MT6795 in Note 6?

> 2160p@60fps or even 120fps

> 720p@960fps with Audio and RealTime

> 480p@1536fps or even 2048 fps, if sensor is fast enough

> Burst Shot - very high speed at Full Resolution

> Instant HDR Burst

> 0,3 Sec Camera Start

> Zero Pause Lag/Delay like iPhone 6+ amd S3 butalso for HDR-Shots -

> Slow-Motion HDR-Video

> Full-Resolution Still Image while Slow Motion Recording (but not at 1080p@480fps, because the CPU-Usage is already at 98 %)

> 4320p Video Recording for Phones with enough Sensor Resolution and Speed

> HDR-SlowMotion

> Use as PC or ExPhone

> Better HD-Image (as known from Oppo Find 7)

> Use it in some High-Tech Bridge-Cameras, DSLRs and DSLM's

> Maximum Camera Performance due to Software (Low Light, Best HDR)

>> LowLight can be made better by software by Capturing many photos in a row and choosing the best parts from the best photos with lower noise, shake and higher detail.

> Boot phone in 4 Seconds, if the Flash-Memory is fast Enough

> Calculator does NOT end at 10^308 or 2^1024.

> Short-Circuit-Resistance (e.g. to resist/avoid irreversible Water Damage - temporairy water damage is OK.)

> Capture Full-Res (Max Sensor Resolution) image, while recording 2160p@30fps (Full-Res-Stills 2160/60 or 1080/480 or 720/960 are too fast for the Sensor)

> Hand-Warmer (simply record 4K-Video)

Galaxy History:

I hoped Samsung to Exclude the S6 from this video:

[YOUTUBE]i1ukzpMckUM[/YOUTUBE]

NEXT is now? USB 3.0 is more „NEXT“ than USB 2.0.

I don't like I truly hate Samsung mentioning „NEXT IS NOW - THE NEW SixAppeal“ (Considered as Sex-Appeal)

The S6 is South-Koreas Next Flopmodel‼
