the drop-down notification and quick toggles UI are damn ugly. Samsung should've fired the one who designed it. thinking whether to get it or not.. I

Actually I superb love it. First time I so like Samsung touchwiz UI since announced at Galaxy S5. Flat and simple.

errr... i'm the opposite. i prefer darker themes. amoled do justice to dark/black backgrounds. smile.gif
imho... i think edge will be around. but it'll be quite nice in its current form. display at side may not cut it. i'd think better to have the display at the top. but... that means the earphone port, etc needs to be moved. or unless Samsung decides to bundle with good stereo BT earphones and eliminate earphones port. smile.gif

I am bored with dark black themes, so I want white. Hehe

I had never really like Samsung Super Amoled displays due to its over saturated n "fake" colors. This review is interesting n I look forward to seeing the real stuff

for me... very much the opposite. love the colours on the AMOLED screen and when i look at other screens, the others look so dull. biggrin.gif
interestingly, the articles says the "fake" colours is due to

cold and greenish... i'd assume means blue and green.

hmmm... my experience with AMOLED is more on the warmer colours -- yellow, orange, red. i thought these were the colours that make the screen look "brighter" and more colourful???
*
AMOLED always greenish until Note 3 start better. In S5 it is really great already. But default color preset always much punchy color and out from real color range. I do like it except the Galaxy Tablet S seems over or maybe the screen too big make me feel headache. i can accept AMOLED but I still much prefer IPS LCD as of now. I hope Note 4 is as review mention accurate color and won't feel weird in basic mode and not over saturation in auto mode.

QUOTE(javier_gimeno @ Sep 8 2014, 01:00 PM)
hopefully they will not use the panties matrix!
*

This is standard in AMOLED already and Samsung will continue using it diamond pattern. It is hardly seen the different at FHD via naked eyes and completely unnoticed in QHD.

Why not, even 6.44" Xperia Z Ultra I use previously also can fit in my jeans.

Note 4 only 5.7"

honestly, this type of Q is hard to answer.

if you wear those tight jeans... like those GT girls, even a small phone pun susah mau masuk la...

me... these days, i use cargo pants. banyak pocket for gadgets. smile.gif

but regular jeans... also fine. i have no issues putting the phone into jeans.
wow... seriously, i always thought the fake colours was due to the warmer colours like RED, YELLOW and ORANGE. never noticed it is greenish/ blueish. been using note 1 and then note 2... never noticed it. and i watch quite a fair bit of movies... heh heh... well, maybe like i always said... i'm not that fussy... but i do like the colours on AMOLED rather than those on non-AMOLED. when i look at the non-AMOLED, they look abit 'faded'.
*
Your eye already use to AMOLED and you though that is correct color but it is not. The Note 1 is superb greenish, Note 2 don't compare ok la. smile.gif

usd199 seems like a decent price.

Then again, standalone Rift headset, as per article above, may start from USD200. getting standalone means at least the VR set is not dependent on something (the Gear VR currently works only with Note 4).

However, advantage of Gear VR is that its wireless.

how useful is this? personally for me... not useful. but if i had to choose between this or edge, i'd go with this instead of edge (sorry note edge...)

edit 1: ouch, no audio... will need own earphones plugged into note4... what the...?!? tongue.gif
see: http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/ge...arvr_specs.html
*
I think the edge don't have aluminum side also. I heard some comment is plastic. I more see more feel also.

For me too earlier to buy such extra edge phone.

The Gear VR price make me interesting on it now. Haha!

Samsung should seriously look to overhaul its bloated Touchwiz. Ever since s3 (i think), Samsung has been packing feature after feature. And Touchwiz has been a jumbled mess of patchwork. Samsung has always been relying on the latest and greatest hardware just to keep pace with other phones using inferior hardware...yes just keeping pace in terms of everyday usability.

Just look at these realworld (albeit unscientific tests):-

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Note-4-goes...n-loses_id60385

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Galaxy-Note...ho-wins_id60384

although i'll likely pick up the n4 (need the stylus), really disappointed to see this.
*

That difference is only 1 of 2 seconds. If you had M8 or G3 then you will know why.

Not really bloatware affect it. For G3 is due to LG actually pick shorten animation effect. M8 wise is even short, you hardly seen zoom in and out effect in M8. Samsung use the more longer animation effect. Those animation timing affected it.

that's sad news for samseng malaysia. with iphone 6+ lauching soon, they are in for a terrible year.

absolutely nothing new with the note4 except for the higher-res screen that still use panties matrix technology, and upgraded processor that will never solve the lag issue.

Obvious you never own Note 3. Story end.

Haha! Such a great pressure to look last few page comment. tongue.gif

Both Android and iPhone got pros and cons. They is no perfect phone.

By the way, my big iFans friend is extreme sad as he fail to book the iPhone 6 Plus even though he is hardly keep pressing for order but fail to grab one. All iPhone 6 Plus pre-order out at Singapore.

Also wonder why Singapore sell such expensive price! RM 2.9K for 16GB iPhone 6 Plus where Japan only price at RM 2.4K.
