QUOTE(joytest @ Jun 30 2013, 12:17 AM) That's right. I'll just wait till some more concrete news comes along. I would think it should be 6" at the very least. Now with Sony having shown their hand, and HTC upcoming, it depends on what kind of USEFUL innovation Samsung would want to bundle in. We know it will come with the S-Pen. Beyond that, we can speculate that they should have LTE as standard, and hopefully 32Gb as standard too. Perhaps an entry price of RM2199  Price would probably be the same if there are no heart-pumping new hardware feature. LTE will definitely be as a standard but I think it's gonna stay at 16GB. SPen means we can't expect the device to be very slim.

QUOTE(joytest @ Jun 30 2013, 12:28 AM) Personally, I DON'T WANT the device to be very slim. I find it very hard to accept functional tradeoffs in the name of design. irregardless of the slim design, people will buy all sorts of cover to protect their devices, hence slim has no longer a meaning here

QUOTE(sacremento @ Jun 30 2013, 12:31 AM) Just wondering if they could implement like a shake feature to pump some battery juice to the phone. Hell, wrist watches can do that. Plus it will be a good exercise too.  I agree they are gonna stay with the 16gb lte. Later on another lte 32gb. Marketing strategy I supposed. If screen is too flexible also would be hard to use spen. kinetics?  never enough "shaking" would be sufficient

QUOTE(joytest @ Jun 30 2013, 12:35 AM) No, the point with a slim design is the manufacturing tradeoff. A 7mm Note 3 is likely only going to have a 3300mAh battery at best, and god knows what other hardware needs to get sacrificed at the altar of anorexia. For me, slapping on a proper casing is a given but the device should not be any less functional because some idiot designer decided it so. trade-off between design and practicality

QUOTE(gin&tonic @ Jun 30 2013, 12:38 AM) TS your take on the Note3 is a dream come true. Lets all hope u are right. 6" i can handle. Anything more would be a hassle. Don't want tablet size. Xperia Z ultra 6.4" is really too cumbersome to hold.  actually I like the idea of the SBH52 bluetooth headset. NFC activation of BT pairing is superb and holding a "chewing gum" bar for long conversation would definitely ease a lot of trouble

QUOTE(joytest @ Jun 30 2013, 12:43 AM) I participate in LONG conversations .... and you should know that our telcos have a kill switch at 90mins to avoid excessive phone bills. You DO NOT WANT TO HOLD anything in your hands when you are in a long call unless you are talking to your SO. It is very tiring to hold something to your ears that long. A standard wired headset or BT headset will do just fine. agree and I do have long conversations which usually ends up me using the speaker phone most of the time  Gonna really have a good check on the SBH52 when it's available here in M'sia

It's hopeless to use camera on the phone in low light situation.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Jun 30 2013, 01:58 AM) ((Xa))0102, learn how to add spoiler when posting humongous photos. I have added for you this time. And most of the time, the flash just makes things worse. If it is my Canon 580EX II, that's perfectly fine because it makes my life easier.  Note II's flash sometimes makes things overexposed.  But again to be fair, it is just a phone. Yeah.. It's still a phone. Gave up on all possibilities of using the phone camera for good quality photos

How's my battery life? 70% of usage time on 3G » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « That is a very good battery life from my opinion. I still cannot get more than 3 hours of SOT on average of 1.5 days This post has been edited by Superman7: Jun 30 2013, 10:07 AM

QUOTE(arslow @ Jun 30 2013, 04:04 PM) yeah, using spotify too since I got 1 year gift card, don't wanna waste  But I like Play Music for its mobile app. Spotify mobile app for android is rubbish, which is expected anyway... But I dont think I will renew my spotify next year, continue with Google, but much more expensive  Hope google makes a desktop software soon, web player is a little less accessible. ohh.. 1 year gift card  I had to pay

QUOTE(arslow @ Jun 30 2013, 04:11 PM) I mean I paid for the 1 year gift card too, RM100 only  that was before spotify was available in malaysia, so next year even if I wanna continue subscribing I am gonna need to get a new account, so no point, might as well continue with Play Music. But spotify has a nice new feature called Discover. Really nice to find new songs  actually I kind prefer the old "what's new" feature compared to the Discover  RM100/year is cheap. Now it's RM178.80

QUOTE(arslow @ Jun 30 2013, 04:24 PM) what I liked about the old one was how easy it was to get new playlist. And the fact that its easier to find stuffs which you might not have known about. The new discover one is more about songs related to what you have heard before, so yeah, it limits thing a little bit  But at least now we have quite a few streaming choices legally available in Malaysia. Deezer, Spotify and Rdio. At least the spotify premium quality is possible up to 320kbps
