[Galaxy Note 4 General] badelemental:
S6 has nothing to do with Note lineup. Their releases don't generally affect Note prices. Also S6 will be announced during MWC where Samsung hosts their Unpacked event. Well sometimes they host it separately but last year they went back with MWC.

Hey guys , MKBHD says the exynos and Qualcomm models are significantly different in terms of screen on time. Is it true??? He says exynos gives 4-5 , but Qualcomm is at 9hours SOT with similar usage.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] badelemental:
Bro ... I would rather recommend to go with India specific version. Because in case anything happens Warranty is there to protect you. But if you get Exynos version then you can forget about the replacement if anything goes wrong.

Also in my experience games are more optimized for Qualcomm SoC as it is widely available. And yeah real 64-bit CPUs gonna come later this year starting with S6. I highly doubt Samsung will ever enable 64-bit for a single variant of Note 4 except the newly announced SD810 version.

So in my opinion if you are going to spend this much money then be on the safe side.

Unless they can't make exynos 5433 in sufficient quantities, there is no reason to choose snapdragon 810,because they are virtually the same.. And samsung can do a better job since they have more experience with octa core processors..

Looking on the leaked videos and release, Samsung has taken taken touchwiz so close to stock than ever. Be it action bar colors and accents, alert dialogs, etc previously these things were manually themed by samsung, but with this release they are using stock design, just with the change of color. For some reason I prefer samsung blue instead of the stock teal color. of course if we look at system UI, settings, Launcher and few other they are still totally out of stock, I personally prefer it that way.

Guys I joined the Note 4 stable, after spending some time with the Nexus 6. One quick thing, how do I get the 10000 payback points? In the my samsung rewards I am seeing that it mentions only 6000 points and even those have not been credited to my account. How much time does it generally take?

[Galaxy Note 4 General] vasishta.sushant:

While I loved the freedom that the nexus provided me, I was not happy with the screen calibration, slow camera, lack of that high end visual appeal and mostly the lack of the extra SD card support. I was free with the nexus but yet felt constrained a lot. Also having stayed with Samsung Note series in that last 4 years, I realized that as a phone the samsung was a lot better phone.

I do miss the larger screen and the front firing speakers.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] saj2001ind:
everything is fine but funny you miss the bigger screen ?? nexus is just .3 inches bigger than note 4 and that to .2 goes to onscreen buttons :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] vasishta.sushant:
I watch a lot of youtube videos/movies on the phone. Those onscreen buttons move out of the view in full screen mode and there you get that additional, normally unclaimed, screen territory. Also not to mention that the nexus is a bit wider as well.

While I am talking about it, let me add that the battery life on the note 4 is a lot better than it was on the nexus, for the similar usage.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] saj2001ind:
well I used note 4 since the first day it was available and I too watch vids and youtubes a lot and .3 inches is something not bigger problem to complain about although I also expected note 4 had less bezel and increased to 6 inches...note 5 should have it

Screen protector

Hi guys. I'm looking for a good screen protector for my Note 4. On the phones I've owned so far, I used plastic screen protectors. I tried using both cheap(<200) and expensive(~800) screen protectors but I couldn't notice any difference between the two. I hate putting on a screen protector in the first place but I fear I might scratch the screen. Which would be better: a plastic protector or a tempered glass one? If you've bought one online, please share the link and I'll order the same. Thank you :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] swapnil_812003:
recently i put tempered screen protector from local store for 600 rs. branded tempered protector will cost you around 1000 rs. difference in both screen protector is size. the local one is bit larger and hence you will see a line on both side of the screen after putting the protector as not 4 has rounded edge. Branded one i believe will fit perfectly as it will go till the onscreen size. finally tempered one is better than the plastic one. you won't see any scratched even if yo try to scratch it by keys or knifes.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] vasishta.sushant:
I got the tempered glass screen protector and its not fitting well. The note has kind of tapered edges and the rigid glass protector won't fit in well. I'll be using the plastic one that will come as part of the Otterbox Commuter that I've ordered.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] badelemental:
Same here. I had bought Nilkin 9H glass screen guard but it only covered the screen display part and it felt odd. So went back to plastic ones. Now using screen guard which came bundled with Ringke Fusion Case.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] nitinmits:
Friend, i have also faced popping sound noise while recording videos. Then i exchanged the phone and the new piece is not having that problem. I have heard that there are many pieces who faced the same issue. As far as LTE option is concerned, you need to have a 4G enabled sim to see that option.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Pd1985:
Agreed that 4g option is sim based , submitted the phone for doa, seems it would be approved, the only thing bothering is that the note 4 I got had a perfect screen without any yellow tint whereas the shopkeeper had kept a real phone as demo at his shop and his screen was withpinkish yellow tint all over , it just sucked , hope changing the phone for noise distortion is not at the expense of tinted screen

---------- Post added at 10:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------

Pink tint is present in most of the note 4's , checked live phones at 3 shops , if it's not there in your phone , it's that you are lucky, pink tint is mostly observed in indoor photos /videos with low light without flash in particularly White background, try to take a pic in natural lighting indoor of anything with white background and you might see it, I thought it was a defect but rather most of the demos I saw had the same issue.

In most of these well advanced countries as they call , people buy on contract basis mostly, they don't pay the full price of the product as we do , and at the end of their contract also they are eligible for an upgrade at a nominal price ,whereas we Indians buy it outright paying at once , actually considering this they should be giving the best and advanced models to us and not them
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Trijunction:
There is just not enough demand for high end gadgets in India..why flash sales of below 10k phones are so successful.. Its not just that many Indians can't afford but also they don't want to spend too..

Carrier support is good in west because there customer default rate is very low ..they have very good credit scoring n tracking systems. So people pay up..and over 2 years , they pay huge money ..that helps networks to sustain
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bala_gamer:
why would they launch an lte cat9 device in a country where even lte cat 6 is not available in abundance? if you still fancy about the shiny sd 810 soc , hopefully you can import it from korea :P .

Rewinding one year back, most indian buyers complained that samsung dumped a non lte exynos soc on their devices, later samsung changed the soc in india with a snapdragon one, now i can see online buyers moaning about laucnhing a sd805 device in India. End point no company can satisfy all the customers ;)

Though sd805 is a performance monster i think the note 4 and nexus 6 are going to be the only top devices that makes use of this soc. Wish there were more devices with sd805
[Galaxy Note 4 General] badelemental:
Yeah, agree with you. Well S6 might come with SD810 or Exynos 7 series. But SD805 is no slouch either. It's just that TouchWiz needs a lot of work. The SoC war is not that important if you already have SD805. I just hope Samsung revamps TouchWiz and brings smooth performance like stock Android. Even HTC is doing a great job in optimization of Sense.
