Ok Note 3 news now:

.......
So when and where exactly will Samsung uncloak the Note 3? One thing is sure, analysts said, it will take place in major cities and likely via a simultaneous unveiling, maybe in New York and London. Or probably one Asian city will be included, of which Tokyo, Beijing and Singapore are ready candidates.

Moscow in Russia could be in the wildcard but not impossible considering one of Samsung's major and pressing thrusts and that is to push the Samsung brand awareness to emerging markets that put Russia at the forefront.

The safest bet for the Note 3 launch date is between August and September with the latter as the actual release date. It's possible too that July will be marked as the phablet's global preview moment.

The rationale behind this is Samsung would want to push out its second flagship earlier than that of Apple's iPhone 5S. The first object is to gain a considerable headstart and the second is to support the ongoing GS4 global distribution, the latter partly to swiftly deal with its reportedly flagging sales momentum.

At any rate, while Samsung will not release the Galaxy Note 3 this June or next month, Samsung fans will not be waiting in vain.

On release date, the leading phablet will flash a quad-core processor of mixed build, supplied both by Samsung's in-house Exynos Octa 5 and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 chip. Any of the two will make the Note 3 one of the most powerful smartphone to come out this year with the bonus of being energy-efficient.

Also, the Note 3 is expected to sport a near-GS4 profile but with larger screen at 5.99-inch with 1080p resolution plus a rear cam shooter with a 13MP sensor.

Hello there, haven't seen you posting before, but welcome anyway. Appreciate if you could add yourself via the form in post 4.

OMG you guys have been prolific today ...260 posts in 1 day, equivalent to any flagship phone within 2 weeks of launch......all for this 8 month old device today !!!!!

Today DOES mark 8 months in the Malaysian market.

Hooray and Long Live Note 2 !!!!!

Post 8 under Kernel Related Information (features, tweak settings etc)

If we didn't have LTE today, with fairly good Klang Valley coverage, I guess it wouldn't have mattered. It's like "analysts' expectations". We have tasted ambrosia, and do now crave it.

I have 10Mbps at home now, won't go back to 4Mbps. But if one can bear it, then, it doesn't matter.

Maybe it was a day of frenzied posting to celebrate 8 months of Note 2 in Malaysia???

275 posts today.

Custom codec from?

Maybe router frequency issue? Can't take some bands properly.

In the absence of master sklchan, you will need stalker alexng2208 or master antt00 to help you.

Screenshots from Sony Xperia ZU prototype confirm specs
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Screenshots...m-specs_id44281

One of the most anticipated devices right now is the Sony Xperia ZU. Screenshots from a prototype confirm most of the high-end specs that you would expect from a unit like this. The only difference from expectations is with the screen size which is listed at 6.21 inches instead of the 6.44 inches that the screen was supposed to measure. The difference could be Sony's navigation bar. And while .23 of an inch might not sound like a lot, it would be the difference between calling the Sony Xperia ZU a large-screened phone and calling it the largest screened model in the industry. Currently, that honor goes to the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 with its 6.3 inch panel.

The rest of the specs confirmed by the phone's system info page include the Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 chipset and the Adreno 330 GPU. Android 4.2.2 is listed as running the phone. There is also 16GB of native storage and 2GB of RAM. In other words, everything you've been hearing about the device appears to be true.

Sony has an event coming on June 25th in Germany at which time the Sony Xperia ZU could be introduced

==================

If Samsung goes down the same path of removing buttons, the lack of physical buttons will take a little getting used to for me since I like the full screen usage of Samsung with the 3 buttons at the bottom. I wonder why a lot of people spew hate for the physical buttons. Maybe conditioned to the guaranteed failure of the home button on rotten fruit devices?

Anyway, this is a good year. Seeing that all high end phones this year are in for 2Gb RAM, it will last us a long time seeing that Google's roadmap is showing that they will reduce Android memory footprints from 5.0 onwards. Which means Note 2 is still going to be there with the rest of the younger boys in the long run.

I believe they will only switch to more RAM when 64bit ARM arrives for phones.

The comments on the article say it's for i9100g LOL good la....

Last night was one of the highest post counts in the last 3 months.

Maybe coz it also coincided with note2's 8 months from launch in Malaysia.

HNF format is proprietary to HandyNote, but it is exportable to PDF and PNG. Likewise, SNB is proprietary to S-note, and exportable to PDF and PNG.

However the key difference is that ANY Android can use HandyNote, but ONLY Samsung phones can WITH TW can use S-note.

So in terms of "lock-in", HNF is far preferable to SNB IMHO. In fact Handynote lite is free, should be able to read any HNF.

He is deliberate....and as antt00 said before, an incorrigible attention whore trying to draw us into his sick, demented world of phallic looking accessories for devices and pollute our clean thoughts with his corrupting words.

This is what makes this thread so much fun..... tying device usage to other forms of usage that only alexng2208 can dream of....


Do you recall the first part of the phrase "............where angels fear to tread."


He is a highly imaginative person, so please pardon his delusional fantasies. However do you have any updated kernel tweak settings like what you help Andreilux on his values spreadsheet?
