just like Apple, the design is same
but software wise is change

no lar is curved display, not flexible

Maybe I was wrong, I know one of it using.

It is flexible screen, Samsung just no idea how to fully utilize it.

I just pass HTC ONE M8 for my sister replace her Sony Xperia ZL.

HTC ONE M8 is a solid phone but too bad I too need big screen. So bye bye M8.

Next year I not going step in any 5" phone ever already. My minimum is 5.5" up to 6".

Note 4 will come with exynos 5433 and snapdragon 805. Any info regarding which version to launch here?

There is a poll in xda regarding which version they like in note 4. the poll result is 50:50 on this matter up to now.

Previous samsung phone is easier to like the snapdragon more than the exynos due to support in xda and AOSP/cynogenmod. Snadragon also has better performance in he synthetic benchmark.

According to the xda post above, there is evident in the benchmark information that suggest the exynos is the 64bit cpu. Android L is fully support the 64bit in the ART. it will get full benefit from it.

the below sites has explain the benefit for the 64bit processor:

If the exynos 5433 is really the 64bit processor, i kind lean on the exynos 5433 this time. it is 20nm processor and in 32bit kitkat, the synthetic benchmark already outperform the snapdragon. Beside that, exynos normally will get wolfson DAC which will yield better sound quality than snapdragon based on previous model history.

The exynos processor will surely loose cynogenmod or AOSP rom support as same with note 3 with exynos. Although, there is still custom rom for exynos.

Any other snapdragon benefit beside the better cynogenmod/aosp rom support?

Just like me...using any 5 incher no matter how good it is, is out for me. Even my Find7 at 5.5 inch i find barely tolerable. The Find7 is best performance n smoothest Android i had used to date. Pity is only 5.5 inch. Best ideal size for me is 6 inch display size

Ya, learning from you, I no longer will pick below 5.5" (you 6") screen phone as it just waste money at the end.

From this video, means shall be out in Oct.

Ya it seems exynos 5433 is 64bit with much greater score. Now just see what is bringing in to Malaysia, as long is smooth I am sold.

I don't care on Cynogen, AOKP, AOSP. Those is real useless to me, I not fancy on it.

I thot M8 is wider as well.

Do u also have problem?

Old ppl wld prefer bigger screen due to eyesight issues.

while samsung never even put much effort to improve.


the samsung with curve glass at the side is another range.

note 4 is more focus on the spen improvement: double the pressure sensitivity, multi select with spen, much improve and user friendly multi-window.

the display itself is also much improve based on early hand-on report: 2k resolution, deep black, improve brightness (early hand on suggest note 4 display brighter than lg g3 display) , and accurate color which is weakness of oled display previouly:

finally note 4 get the ois which will greatly improve the blur picture taken with shaking hand.
waiting for note 4 camera side review.


Im very interested review on how this hardware and software improvement put in actual usage including battery usage, picture taken by the main camera especially night shot.

The improvement is not enough for a replacement. I stick with my note 3

So does the 4 get waterproof capabilities like S5?

U need to understand that note4 has spen thus much harder to implement waiter resistant like s5...

note 4 is not ip67 certified. so no water and dust resistance.

So far, most large screen phone >5.5" is not water resistance like lg g3, find 7, mate 7, ifon 6+ etc. except for sony ultra, t3.
maybe sony will refresh the sony ultra with better screen, cpu, camera this year.

for less 5.5", there is sony z3 is ip68 certified. my opinion, screen and cpu is not much improve vs note 3. sony z3 camera is 21mp with ois. Z3 camera has improve noise with full resolution taken as stated in gsmarena z3 compact review:
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z3_com...view-1135p8.php



interest to see how z3 camera against the note 4 which both feature ois.

More easy to slide from side especially using it one handed.

I'm already impressed with my G3 2560x1440 screen. Can't imagine if it's on SAMOLED panel

More components plus the pen slot too.

I prefer big screen because big screen can see more and nice to view. Nothing related to my eye issue.
