Some videos and official specs will be fine to start with.

All the best.

I'm pretty sure our friend is that 2-faced hulk.

He has some entertaining quips at times, and sometimes his logic is impeccable. Too bad he is extremely prejudiced against Android, and Samsung in particular.

My 2 sen. I briefly tested the Oppo Find 7 2k screen beside my Note 3 screen, browsing LYN.

I couldn't tell the difference apart from color warmth.

I'm skipping Note 4 and sticking with my Note 3.

I got an invite for the 15 Oct event. Perhaps I'll go.

I remember Note 2 had a long queue. Note 3 had a crowd, but I don't remember a queue, perhaps there was in Mid Valley.

Andrewtst should know, I recall he went.

I am wondering if I should get it at the 15 Oct pre-show, since the Gear S features look really good.

Yes. Let's see the line.

LOL......after seeing what the Gear S could do, and I stand a chance of getting it free...if it's limited Gold color it will be a bonus

The invite triggered my enthusiasm

Mine is from my credit card and rsvp to the bank.

Probably it will be a different allocation.

There are probably 2 sets of invites. One by SME and one for 3rd parties.

Absolutely.

Parallel import sets are a bit of a gamble.

Functionally no.

*difference*

The turn-off only happened because of the Note 3, which had 2 versions. Samsung didn't help themselves by not releasing the Exynos kernel sources.

However, functionally there is no difference. Android + TW still works the same.

At worst, 3rd party launcher + root + Xposed should solve most annoyances you have. That's what I've been using on my Note 3 from day 1.

Don't see any real limitations for non-flashoholics


Yes absolutely agree, custom ROMs are not entirely necessary anymore. There's almost always an app for whatever you want to do.

Well....that other platform is a monopolistic walled garden with arbitrary controls and tight curation. In that sense, specs can be LOWER and still provide a smooth experience.

However in terms of raw power, specs matter and what you intend to do with it.

I believe a relevant illustration is the RX8 rotary engine which is 1300cc displacement yet still handles sportily.

However, all other engines are now 4 to 8 cylinder standard designs with power easily measured in increasing displacement.

So....comparing fapple with Android is actually apples and oranges. They can play in their anally curated sandbox all they want.

As to the specs question again, you have a 3000cc V8 engine in the Note4. What you do with it is up to you.

You can drive the 3000cc V8 Alphard to the neighbourhood market or ferry 8 passengers comfortably up to Genting.

You can use it as little or as much as you want. There was one forumer who once ran 4 youtube videos at once with the NOTE 2 to show Android's multitasking power to ifags to shut their mouths.

Errr dude....you do not need custom ROMs to change a launcher. A launcher is just a launcher...the face of the UI.

I find it really embarassing that people (not you) cannot simply change a launcher and get a whole new experience instead of complaining about the stock UI.

Freedom is not just in switching ROMs, but almost every part of the STOCK bits of any Android. There are a huge number of things you can do without switching ROMs, or even without rooting.

No kidding. ..gratz on probationary modship. Hope you can help to weed out nasties.

Here's a list of all models and regions from XDA

UPDATE: OK I see this is already in page 1. Sorry I'm a slowpoke.

It will be whatever's available during the launch I believe. I'm going for the Gear S actually

Samsung MY's website has not stated the model number available. Anyone knows?

Yeah silly me. As I said earlier, I had no intention of getting one, until I got the invite and checked out the Gear S. I am very intrigued by it and if I'm part of the first 50 or 100 buyers I should be getting the S for free.

So I only started checking out the Note 4 model nos today, and was on mobile mostly. It didn't show the website properly, so I couldn't see the model number until about 10 mins ago....
