I would just like to say something about screen sizes. I think we all want 5.9" or more since Sony showed its hand with the 6.44" ZU. However that device has some issues with pocketability and flex due to its thinness.
I believe that for easy pocketability, something in the range of 5.5" to 6.1" would be the max for a normal male-pants pocket.
Even the guy who said he's laughing at 5.5" Note 2 users had written that the XZU is TOO BIG and he has to bring a SMALLER phone when he goes out....sooooo.
So I guess Samsung is playing it safe for pocketability by making a small increase in screen size, and still allows fairly comfortable one handed usage. Still, I can't help but have some disappointment at 5.68" only since 5.8" will mean better multitasking with multiwindows.
5.7" so that next year's Note 4 can feature 5.9" Screen size increment is a selling point if you notice the trend
Btw, I tried testing out the XZU again and I really cannot feel uncomfortable holding that behemoth lol, tried the Ninetology 5.7" and it's pretty damn alright so I think it'll be a good size for most of us here

Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 also have some impressive spec
I really hate Samsung's back plastic cover as it collects a lot of fingerprint/oil/grease and thus, very sticky and yucky to hold/feel. With the leather-like cover, this kinda fixes this. Time to go get a bumper already
I only put 2 sample at XZU and Z1 thread, you can download and check it out. If your PC is recent purchase or with GPU that can hardware accelerated it, then you can play.
Or just wait your Note 3 coming.
I already downloaded and watched that 4k demo video featuring the food and the lovely girl and dayummm it was really good.
But of course, it's a demo video so there would be heavy processing to remove digital noise, artifacts and a lot of pixel sharpening
Errr.. last time DirectD was selling Galaxy Nexus for RM3.2k? I think they were the first ones to import where nobody else in Malaysia had any stock lolz
Their back glass cover cist how much..? Use the XZU in bathtub full of soppy water (waterproof) suddenly drop due to slippery and crack BOTH front and back screen...lolz Cost of losses..?
Dunno. The XZU user mentioned that Sony told him that the screen replacement actually costs RM1.1k but Sony is kind enough offer him a new XZU for RM1.1k instead~
lol but I wonder 3gb ram got dual channel this kind of things like computer ?? good question, go ask phone manufacturer 3gb ram =.= my old desktop 2gb ram + dual core also can play dota 2 without lag, can any smartphone play it ??
Samsung was already mass producing low powered 3GB ram chips
