[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannah Stern:
Disappointed: Samsung Galaxy Note 5 // More and more missing features 【#ProjectZero2】

Hello, everybody.

Everybody does still remember the great shock, where Samsung switched to the evil side of Smartphones with the S6. Nobody expected Samsung ever to do that to the people, who appreciated Samsung before.

Now everybody hoped the Note 5 to be a better Smartphone than the S6, and everybody, who appreciated the OLD „Samsung“ hoped Samsung to fix the S6 disadvantages on the Note 5.

But the codename „Project Zero 2“ made Samsungs Market Suicide for sure.

Example: TSP-Hovering was something great to show off in front of pupils from your school class. The nice S4 and Note 3 gimmicks were good to show off.

But showing off with an S6 is rather impossible.

And if you're in survival mode, the 2550 mAh of the S6 won't keep you alive very long.

Comparisson between the old and the new Samsung:

OLD:

Newer Phone = More Features

Newer Phones must cover the FULL FEATURE RANGE of the old phone.

Newer Phones are able to be used to show off

Newer Phones do not lose a single feature

Newer Phones have a better battery runtime

Newer Phones have cuter user interfaces

Successors will impress

Hardware is more important than Design

NEW:

Successors with ugly logo: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GalaxyS6_Logo.Png (File History)

Successors don't show the model number (e.g. GT-i9506 or SM-N9005) on the boot screen. So the i9506 looks like a stock i9505

Successors get uglier user interface

Successors only have the most important and basic features

Successors get new features, that get lost on the next phone.

Successors get more restrictions

Successors loose more and more features

Successors: Unable to showoff

Successors: Design is more Important than Hardware

Successors have less costumizability possibilities

Less gimmicks

Project Zero als means Zero Feature Range

Successors: More gaps

Successors: requiring getting used to

Successors: Less Setting Possibilities

Successors: Making many things worse (Now, the S6 does have the iPhone photo animation.)

Successors: Uglier UI Sounds

Successors: Many useful features are vanished

Successors: Harder to use (e.g. you can't access the AppInfo from App Switcher +++ you can't access display settings and clock settings from the dropdown menu)

Successors: Loss of Pre-Installed Features (Like Creating/Extracting ZIP Files with the native file manager or drop down menu with two fingers)

If there is a UI change, there must be the possiblity to get the old one back (like Lollipop Task Switcher or Lollipop Drop Down Menu or TouchWiz Message Boxes)

Successors: Less flexibility and capabilities and usability. (Water-Resistance; USB 3.0 (Faster Data Transfer); MicroSD; MHL-MicroHDMI; Removable Battery; Large battery; Many Features; Useful Features ← all missing. )

Successors: I really hope the Physical Shutter Button from the Omnia 2 GT-i8000 (2009/2010 Flagship) to come back to Samsung.

Successors: Less Sensors (Gesture, TSP-Hovering, Temperature, Humidity, Air-Pressure, UV)

Loss of Backwards Compatibility (Applications or MMS Video Recording etc…)

So it#s impossible to call Project-Zero-Phones „flagship“.

The two phones which had most of the features and the lowest amount of lost features at their release date were the S2 GT-i9100 and the Note 3 SM-N9005.

I do really miss the old times of Smartphones and normal Cell Phones, where there were only new features, no lost features.

Temperature and Humidity Sensor (S4, Note 3)

Smart Pause [S4, Note 3]

Smart Stay [S4, Note 3]

Smart Rotation [S4, Note 3]

Smart Screen [S4, Note 3]

Smart Scroll [S4, Note 3]

Video Thumbnail Playback [If you don't like it or want to save battery, disable it]

Toolbox

Note 2, S4, Note 3, S5 and Alpha: Camera Features and Scene Modes

Dropdown-Menu: Drop with Two Fingers and call all features

The Second generation of ProjectZero.

I can't believe it! Samsung made suicide. That can't be true. :crying:

I truly hope Samsung to come back to the good side of fortune. :(
