Hello, everybody.

In this thread, i have already made a poll about

Unfortionally, People seem to like phones with less features but slimmer design, which also sacrificed some battery runtime. The best example is the 2mm Headphone Jack of the coming iPhone 7 and the 6s Battery with ridicolous 1715 mAh. And the number of features, which has decreased in the Galaxy S Phones and Notes. Not to forget, the Ugly Logo of 2015: [Link1] [Link2].

Here is another thread: http://xdaforums.com/general/help/thickness-phone-to-batter-battery-life-t3133035 (Great thanks [MENTION=5545352]holsma[/MENTION])

In my opinion, a slim Design, with material, which feels valueable is not that important.

The Glass Back of the S6 and Note 5 is Gorilla Glass 4. That's a robust glass, but the Fake-Leather of the SGN3 and SGN4, and the S5's back cover had a much lower vulnerability. Glass is transparent, so it is for displays, and NOT for Back-Sides. Even our great Gorilla glass FOUR has got a higher vulnerability than the fake-leather, which is also replaceable.

Flexibility and Battery Capacity should not be sacrificed for a thin design with „valueable“ materials with higher vulnerability.

World's cutest phone (considered as iPhone 6s) will not be useful, if your battery runs dead, or of it drops on it's face without having a case or a protective metal frame as known from the Note 3 and the S5, which avoid the display to be exposed. The iPhones (especially 4, 4s, 6, 6s, 6+, 6s+) and the S3 have very exposed displays. The Note 3 and the S5 have this superior metal frame, which goes around the screen.

I don't know, why so many people considered the S5's design with the pattern as ugly. It looks a bit like a 2012 Nexus 7. That's not ugly at all. That's robust. On a Glass, you see all fingerprints, and the chance, that it will fall out of your hand is higher, because fake leather and S5-Pattern has a better Grip.

If the Note 5 falls out of your hand, it will most likely take visible damage, whereas the Note 4 does not. [MENTION=596066]bbbobbbo[/MENTION].

Unfortinally, there was no Note 5-E. [MENTION=1846109]hella356[/MENTION] [MENTION=596066]bbbobbbo[/MENTION]

I considered upgrading my Note 3 to a phone with OIS-Camera, but the Note 4 does still suffer from some minor disadvantages.

Does still record Slow Motion at 720p@120fps, and the old way.

Burstshot limited to 30 shots in row.

No RAW-Shooting or manual camera settings

Even in Android 4.4.4, it's got the Lollipop-Taskswitcher, where the user is unable to access the App-Infos.

Homescreen is limited to seven pages (Same Limit as Galaxy Pocket GT-S5300)

Less camera features than S5 and K Zoom

No AirView with Finger

No Temperature sensor

No Humidity Sensor

Well, USB 3.0 wasn't that important

Battery: only +20 mAh

No force-touch (that's not important, because there is an S-Pen anyway, but iPhone-users with 1715 mAh can show off.)

Setting Menu: Black text on White background. The Note 3 had a black background, and the S5 dark blue (before Lollipop Upgrade), which saves a lot of battery power on AMOLED-Displays.

No icons in the context menus

No Instant-Camera-Shortcut

Has still f2.2. (f1.9 is better for low light videos)

No HDR-Selfies (but the Selfie-Camera is not important anyway, so i don't really care)

OIS not as good as on S6 and Note 5

Unable to display EXIF-Information and Histogram

But there are also many things, that i love about the Note Four. :svetius:

I will upgrade to the Note 4, if the Note 6 is another CrapPhone and all hope for Samsung is gone.

Here, you can talk about that, and share your opinion.
