Don't really get the 'Gap' feature of Note 4 sweat.gif

A small gap appears around the outside of the device case
This gap is a necessary manufacturing feature and some minor rocking or vibration of parts may occur.
Over time, friction between parts may cause this gap to expand slightly.

maybe due to metal expand and contract. the glass is not fused with the metal part.
*
Then I guess the gap is not an issue to them or the metal part is more like a decoration ring they put on the phone and actual frame is something else..correct me if my understanding is wrong icon_rolleyes.gif

QUOTE(thelightside @ Oct 1 2014, 04:12 PM)
mostly exynos

Just hope exynos wont be laggy on note 4 sweat.gif
My tab s is laggy sweat.gif

That was what I thought too, his words were "selected markets, Malaysia not going to sell, ever ...".  doh.gif

Just went to check back at Note 3 for fun, the display is already beyond my eyes to pick out individual pixels,
wonder if I would be able to tell them apart in a blind test when the 4 is avail.  laugh.gif

The metal ring around the Alpha looks really good, it's probably what drew me to the 4.
Saw my Sister's Note 3, the paint were starting to peel off some.
*
The new design language by Samsung is quite interesting with the metal ring. But im more interested to know the battery life of the device before buying laugh.gif hoping there's review coming out soon from GSMArena since they already posted in their blog on the hands-on

the only downside i think will suffice is when we put movies into the phone.
there will be pixelation when we play  720p on a qhd screen.
imagine watching an old 240p youtube video on the screen.
your eyes will go like this  shocking.gif
we can't say it will be that good.
an increase of only 20mAh+ a qhd screen.
hmm.gif
on a side note,
there was an unofficial battery test reviewed in xda forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/gen...thread-t2893547
*
That's why gotta wait for reviews, missed out on that thread in XDA tongue.gif but it seems promising, as long as I dont need to plug in to powerbank or charger at least twice a day like my G3 sweat.gif

power saving +UPSM..
wink.gif

This is my own opinion, hope i dont offend anyone tongue.gif What's the point of using power saving modes and all if you are using a smartphone to be connected all the time. Most power saving mode I have seen disable data or only enable it on certain times. I know we can set it, but sometimes it don't really work. So i have never enabled any ultra power saving mode, only those saving mode when my battery went below certain threshold laugh.gif

QUOTE(Alpha700 @ Oct 7 2014, 05:25 PM)
Wonder if you mind thicker phones? This time round I'm buying Samsung cos no more phones for me w/o SD card slot and removable battery cover.

We can quite easily get 3rd party extended batteries e.g. 4xxxmah generic brands, Anker's 6400mah to the most
extreme Zero Lemon's 10,000mah ones if you don't mind a thicker & heavier phone.

The battery life is insane, back to the feature phone's era, maybe more.

I dont mind thicker phones, but not too thick la of course, slacks is a bit tight tongue.gif

On page 5 one of the poster noted that the OP shot alot of 4K videos on the Note 4 and will test again.  sweat.gif
Too thick does make it look weird when all phones are so thin these days, the new battery does look to have a larger
surface area so it might not be as thick this time round, can't escape the weight tho.  laugh.gif
*
Yeah.. Thickest I have used on current crop of thin phones is G Pro 2 with spigen slim armor.. Which is quite thick tongue.gif

QUOTE(jeff10012003 @ Oct 7 2014, 05:45 PM)
for me being connected all the time is also one of reasons for smartphone usage. however not everyone has a power plug/powerbank laying around to charge up on emergency.. 3k+ battery is a large battery, howver those on long flights or drive would need all bits of battery life they can save.
this is for me.. hope i didn't offend you.. smile.gif
*
True.. When I'm out at client I sometimes can't depend on power banks if power is too low.. Depends on situation la. Haha. If long flight I guess only for games or music?

Singapore is N910G which is Snapdragon 805. Not difficult to get if you prefer snapdragon. Also those directD and etc do selling import set. (Off course no Samsung warranty).

This is good drool.gif would be heading down south this month-end, wonder if i can get 1 SD note 4 tongue.gif battery life seems good in the review by hardwarezone, though it wont translate to my own usage, but im impressed laugh.gif

Few things about this device.

-Somehow feels warm while doing light activities, tho the weather most likely is the culprit.

- Screen looks nice, but that said, I honestly cant tell the difference between the note 3's screen and this. 2k overhyped I guess.

- As for outdoor screen visibility, I'd give it a 9/10

- Camera's mediocre when taking indoor photos, but brilliant outdoor.

- The finger print scanner is accurate provided you do it the way Samsung wants biggrin.gif

- 4G reception comparable with htc m8

- Smooth animations, although it might be too early to tell.

- The faux back seems nice to touch, but the metal bezels are a tad sharp.

-  Battery is still draining, but it should settle down after a few days of usage.

- Wifi will now swap in between 2.4g to 5g to provide better stability.
That said, I dont understand why put a 2k reso screen on a phone when your home page is still limited to 4 icons a row.
