They have a perfectly good marketing channel on their forum with active participation & eager buyer waiting for their products. Instead of tapping on this market & getting phones to these early adopters ASAP, they ignore this part of market.

sad..

Actually we forgot about chinese forum there  blink.gif , potential there can be high but had more tough choices there, since china brand's phone spec and build quality are getting better.

Not sure how true is it though, people have mentioned that the measurements are off if what Pete said in this post on OnePlus forums are true.

5.5" display but overall physical size is smaller or equal to current 5" display phones? I'd say that's brilliant.

i think there's an option to turn it off if you prefer on screen button.. this is supposed to be a selling point, to please both users of On-screen and Capacitive buttons..

Yup screw it, am not going back to 2010 Samsung style. Gonna disable it, use PIE, and waiting developers to hack the capacitive button for notification.

Since it can be turned on or off, similar to Xiaomi mi3, it allows for bigger usable screen. I don't see what's the advantage for having on screen buttons when so much screen is lost.

Google had tackle it with immersive mode. It will hide when apps require full screen usage.
IMO advantages is orientation and usability. It could swap vertical/horizontal orientation, swap placement, hide when necessary. Those are only basic Google implementation. Other manufacturers or developers able to make it customizable with different icon/color/style, extra icon, swap icon position etc.
I wouldnt mind capacitive button if it had some degree of customization/orientation. For example, one thing I hate the most on Samsung is the right button was for 'back', it's really bad place to assign 'back' function key which you use the most, had to cramp your thumb to reach it. Samsung still stick to it even if Google uses 'back' on left, I guess for the sake of differentiate Samsung with other manufacturers, and it's stupid ( IMO ).
Using on screen button isnt the final form. There's gesture control, there's PIE. I've been using PIE for sometimes and love it. While it arguably will not be as fast as visible button, PIE is just super cool and without using screen estate. Once you get used to it, it's so fast that my friend ask me how I navigate me phone coz he didnt saw PIE.

i think the left back or right back boils down to just personal preference, as it differs for left and right hand users, and samsung's insistence on right back is probably to keep its consistency so not to upset its existing users who upgrades, since they started out with right back.

and u mentioned PIE as in Piecontrol?

Yup, and that's why I hate them, physical home button in 2014 ? But yeah they are too afraid to make change, too afraid for people not able to recognize Samsung Galaxy brand. It's just sad.

OFFTOPIC : PIE as in PIE control.

i think the latest leak is true, as per Pete's confirmation.

it also means, as some noted in their official forum, that the phone is actually longer than Note 3.

ouch...

anyway, still 2 days away from official launch.

i'm still very much attached to capacitive buttons... dunno why. biggrin.gif
