joytest the long connector you mentioned just now is the connector for USB 3.0 support

At the bottom next to the microusb port

The multiwindow / panning window function can be minimized and it appears like the FB chat head..nice touch

Guys..go and watch the hands on video from Engadget, may information revealed there..from homescreen, slide up from the bottom and you will have a flipboard homescreen ala blinkfeed style from HTC One..

One thing that bugs me is that in homescreen, you can only place 4 icons instead of 5

Some ppl really hate Samsung..at first all bashing at looks, then now they change the look and ppl now starting to bash on fake metal and fake leather..seriously? The features not good enough to focus rather than the "fake" things?

I'll definitely get the SD800 version as the LTE version in S4 is better than the acts version especially in GPU..glad that 32gb is the base model..

The white model really looks classy especially with da stitching

joytest The Verge hands on with the Note 3

Glad that the screen is brighter than S4. S4 screen is not bright enough and seems blueish

That's really fast if it is true..not sure if during launch will they bundle with any free s view cover...

joytest not sure I'd this has posted or not as the thread is moving too fast

Engadget Note 3 Preview

Engadget Note 3 flip cover hands on

Yes..it presents..on the left side near the edge

I think the NFC is built into the phone and not the battery..let's see if we can dig more info or not..

I still don't see how the area can be splash resistance, or may be I doing hv good observation like u

Hmm..I don't think so..usually water or splash resistance will hv some rubber material to close all the gaps.. But I may be wrong..

Not sure where I read dy, but Note 3 seems like don't have all those air gesture gimmick from S4..not sure for the rest, but for me it seems better as those gimmicks are still half baked

This round the backside of the flip case is not the same size as the battery door..its a bit longer and protruding from all sides which make it to hv better protection than the previous flip case

Its actually a faux leather laminated on top of a plastic

Seems like the new flip cover offers much more practicality.. U can use act ton memo and even the camera with the flip closed

Honestly this Alcatel One Touch Hero is really a good contender to Note 3..it is 6 inch sized screen, comes with its own active digitizer and the magic flip seems interesting. Waiting for more hands on and review especially on the active digitizer functionality.

Well for me, all other phablets that without an active digitizer I saint consider it as a Note series contender. Note is known for the digitizer and pocketable big screen.

The SD card sits on top of there sim card. You can still hot swap the SD card without removing the battery. Only the sim card will be affected by the battery

I forgotten which hands on article or video but I do remember they mention the SD card is hot swapable as it sits on top of the sim card

EDIT

Found it, from GSMArena
