But I remember reading news that Samsung mentioned finger print sensor won't come to note 3

wah.. before butter, now roadrunner?
remind me about the cartoon again
and mind share the link ?

Well they've got competition....at least a spec/feature war will be good for us.

Agree..hopefully we can get more surprise for Note 3

final question is --
Note 3 or ZU?

Which 1 worth to get?

For me.
Note 3 Pro:
1. 3GB ram
2. S Pen.

ZU Pro:
1. Bigger screen
2. ip57

Hard to choose.
Currently using S3 with 1GB ram. Having lack of ram issue.

Fixed.

Currently no one can tell you as the Note 3 is not even launched or announced yet. Even if it does, you have to decide which will serve you better as different people will have different needs. Not everyone will hunt for the top hardware.

As of now, I won't choose SZU as the size of the phone is too big to be pocketable (but I can't admit that I like the screen very much) and it doesn't has any active digitizer (which is one of the important feature for me). IP57 won't attracts me as the water resistance flap that covers all the ports is prone to wear and tear issue.

I think shud wait untill Sept 4 for official spec. Base your decision on actual spec better. Lets hope Note3 may
spring a surprise on launch day.

I used a friend's S4 over the weekend, didn't check whether LTE or 3G. I ran a video recording, and it threw a Not Enough Memory error after 5 minutes, and I wasn't able to record again. I didn't bother investigating the issue as my friend took back the phone. Hopefully she rebooted it and it should have gone back to normal.

So since our devices are actually COMPUTERs, MORE RAM is GOOD+++.

Again, if you do not use the stylus, and you want a big screen that is still (very barely) pocketable, then XZU is great as a media consumption device. If you use a handbag, then I suppose it is no issue.

If you want the stylus, the Note.

About IPxx certification, I still don't think you should wash your phone or dunk it in water regularly just because you can. I will suggest it is a last resort insurance and you should not tempt fate.

As I replied to our dear aspire in the Note 2 thread, our devices are a full blown computer, but a different platform. It may not run Excel etc but there are plenty of other apps that let you do a lot of other things.

See, it is a general purpose programmable computing device, ie a computer. Think of it as a sub-netbook in terms of computing utility.

From the Economist on 21 Nov 2002

Smartphones and handheld computers
Computing's new shape

As two industries collide, a new kind of computer may emerge
http://www.economist.com/node/1454436

“A COMPUTER on every desk and in every home.” This was Microsoft's mission statement for many years, and it once sounded visionary and daring. But today it seems lacking in ambition. What about a computer in every pocket? Sure enough, Microsoft has recently amended its statement: its goal is now to “empower people through great software, anytime, any place on any device”. Being chained to your desktop is out: mobility is in. The titan of the computer industry has set its sights on an entirely new market.

It is not alone. This week Dell, the world's largest PC maker, launched its first handheld computers, which run Microsoft's Pocket PC software. HP and Palm, which also make handheld computers, have just unveiled new models, with far more emphasis on wireless networking and telephony. .......

so just wait and see what note 3 will offer.
Hope will surprise, else, ZU is my choice.


Wonder 2GB ram is enough?

For the current state of apps/programs in the mobile space, it should be for about another year. Of course you can elect not to update your stuff and keep things as they are, then you can use it for another year more I guess.

Note 3 3GB is just a predication until now. Better make decision after official spec out.

lol no comment like that also can try to twist. If what you said is true microsoft have been closed down

I see you fail to understand the concept of a computer.

Any educated tom , d*** and harry can tell you a phone is never near a pc in terms of performance . What's the point of this statement ? Increase thread count ?

i see you fail to understand my needs then create your own assumption. Its your choice we are talking about full workable computer not twist words. So since you insist show me the whole world using android computer or android phones then yes agree i will change my current computer to an android phone computer. Please recommended me the best model. Budget 5k

Need support for my dual graphic card for my two monitors, connectivity for my logitech z-5500D via optical out and run my games crysis 2, Resident evil Revelation.

Thank you sifu you da best

ask your sifu. Sifu the probability for you to increase post counts is 100 times higher than me. Do you think an additional post count will make a different?

So please whats da of your reply increase your post count?

Lets start over.
Ive read your posts. Before i reply, So what is your point? After all that computer vs note comparison.

I did not twist any words. I said computer generically. You are referring to the x86 platform and in particular high performance computing for your needs. This does not change the requirements to take care of a computer wherein you need to maintain and back it up.

Nvidia has its own slides that put current ARM SoCs at least on par with the previous generation of consoles.

Even your digital camera is a computer where its cpu is designed specifically for graphics processing
