Got an offer to swap with a s6e and top up 900...

Good deal? sweat.gif tempting... but.. smaller screen smaller battery sweat.gif

weird, I got such similar offer too.. haha

QUOTE(benny888 @ May 26 2015, 10:54 AM)
That I would say is a good deal
Based on my experience using S6 Edge :

Screen size - I can never get used to its smaller size. It would be great if it has at least a 5.5 inch display. You need to assess yourself on this

Battery : Don't worry too much as the S6 chip is way better and more energy efficient. On day 2 alone I had even hit 5-6 hours SOT and easily match Note 4. However my S6E was rooted n installed with apps/tweaks to reduce battery drain on phone standby. And yes you had to accept battery is non removable and heavy users might need a powerbank in his bag

Another major disadvantage of S6E is it doesn't has ext SDcard support. But is minor issue if you can accept to use those mini micro USB thumb drives. I used a 64 GB unit it to store most of my audio, videos and backups ( Titanium, EAS, nandroid backups). There s no obvious significant delays reading stuffs from the ext drive
If you need to use SPen frequently, you will miss this in S6E

However personally I feel S6 is a better choice than S6E. The Edge feature in SGE is gimmicky and severely lacking in functions vs the Edge in Note Edge. All users of S6E agreed that they bought it solely for its unique design and seriously if one is hoping more from the Edge features, he will be sorely disappointed. I viewed the Edge in S6E is a big failure from Samsung vs Note Edge

In overall performance the S6E is way much better vs Note 4. I'd say the S6E is the smoothest and best performance Android I had ever used to date. Sadly it is only a 5 incher.

agreed.. I guess I might jump ship to s6 any soon..

probably from the same seller laugh.gif nevertheless, sifu benny has already spoken.

the decision lies in ur bank account

for me, i worry 1 thing. screen size. i do LOVE note 4's screen size, i surf alot so a bigger screen is always better. this is my main obstacle. and money of course lol  laugh.gif
*
same here.. for the time being, always think about always receive latest update from Google and bigger screen means probability to win COC war higher.. haha.. money is another story.. sweat.gif

Guys, any good phablet (> 5.5 inch screen) ?
Of course except Note 4. Note 4 has been great while i'm using, however i'm finding a cheaper phablet for my brother. His Asus Zenfone 6 dropped into water and certified dead.

Budget it's max rm1.5k,
He's doesn't play games. Just facebook, whatsapp and read articles on his phones. Hence need big screen
I saw samsung has Mega 2. Is this phone good?

Dunno if i should report a dispute about this forummer.

Selling his s6e. Nego nego agreed upon a price. Now he diam diam. Make me wait like stupid. Then now say sorry. mad.gif

Cuz im quite annoyed he agreed to the price and then now back out without proper reason. Worst part is he followed up with me on his sale and convince me his s6e is worth the price.

There is nothing great about Nexus6 except for its faster update n ability to flash many rom n kernel. Overall I would rate Note4 a better phone in every aspect except less variety in roms only
*
but the spec almost same.. maybe most apps still not optimizing for 64bit?

QUOTE(arrowhead7372 @ May 30 2015, 06:55 PM)
Android sifu said note 4 camera > nexus 6.

Specs doesn't tell anything. Ask any user who had used both n 9/10 maybe 9.9/10 will say Note4 is a better choice except it cannot match firmware flashing n quick updates vs N6
Camera is way way above N6 in every aspect.
*
hmm.. I still value latest update n various custom rom to flash more.. but maybe I'm getting old.. tired of flasing.. note4 got fingerprint sensor for unlocking like s6 right? got doubletap2wake?

QUOTE(XeactorZ @ May 31 2015, 12:05 AM)
spec just about the same, but the unit you get in Malaysia processor is faster than snapdragon 805 which using on nexus 6

for apps wise, I would say this year android M only start got 64 bit apps since nexus 6 processor (snapdragon 805) not 64 bit processor
so wait for next gen nexus then only start popular hmm.gif
yet, I don't think Samsung will enable 64 bit on note 4 eventhough the processor is 64 bit, else looks not fair to the variant that using snapdragon 805, and no point buying note 5 or s6 laugh.gif
*
any source about snapdragon805 on note4 better than nexus6?

Maybe u can use air wake up as an alternative?

by take out spen?

QUOTE(asdasd @ Jun 1 2015, 11:09 AM)
you can try gravity screen. it uses the phone sensors to turn the screen on. quite useful in my opinion..
*
gravity screen somehow will be battery drainer.. hows in your case?

battery drain negligible for me. have you tried it? you can customise the sensor if you r concerned with battery. remember, doubletap to wake the phone also requires the sensor to be active..
*
yeah, used before.. haven't use for awhile now. now can customise the sensor eh? Well if got dt2w really convenient.. whistling.gif

Nope. U go to settings > accessibility > dexterity and interaction > air wake up.
I using this function. At least when I put on flat table, I do not need to press any button to wake up my phone. Somehow it reduced the usage of the buttons. Don't feel any battery drained by enabled this function. U may give it a try.
*
great.. might give it a try.. but later.. no time to play with the settings yet..

QUOTE(arrowhead7372 @ Jun 1 2015, 02:17 PM)
Why the concern on button rosak. Send back to sc la. Hahahaha. Its supposed to last at least 1 yr.
*
oo.. I afraid if the build quality drop compared to my old Note 2.. still kicking and no button faulty.. after like 3 years.. I got it during launch day.. among early Note 2 adopters..

QUOTE(ongdennis @ Jun 1 2015, 02:33 PM)
i using sview cover.
when i open the cover, the screen wake up itself...so no need worry on the button...
*
provided flip case didn't have that wake up functions.. but the case give good protection..

QUOTE(KMercury @ Jun 1 2015, 02:55 PM)
i eagerly wanted my home button to rosak as quickly as possible so that i can get the whole screen replace. lol. My note 4 screen is very curve and cannot apply any tempered glass at all. I bought mine at the very early batch. I guess thats why its very curve compared to the later batch. I compared with my friend's Note 4 that he bought last week. He can use the tempered glass with very less halo effect  laugh.gif
*
lol.. u will never know when the button will spoil.. use it carefully.. haha..

The air wake up is actually nice.Better than double tap function for me.Double tapping your screen don't always work and it frustrate you at times.The air wake up function works flawlessly by just  hover your hand right near the screen and it will wake up. No need to place the phone on a hard surface as the instruction said so.
It works on any position smile.gif Dont worry about the battery consumption,like double tap it also requires sensor to stay awake. Very handy if you need to check for any msgs with your note 4 on the table and your hands are dirty/oily at the moment tongue.gif
*
no need to touch/completely cover the sensor right? just somehow block a bit then it will work?

I'm not sure which feature you have not discovered yet but i suggest to take the time and explore the settings smile.gif

I trade my Nexus 6 to Note 4 before making much research on Note 4.. so I haven't really get Note 4 features.

This some of things I need to learn first, if the warranty void, need to use TriangleAway thingy or etc.. still long way to go.. I won't root without knowing the risks.

I use app knockr to wake-up display on all my Androids that doesn't support double tap to wake
When you first launch the app choose skip n go directly to select double tap to wake
Many other features which I never bother to test as I don't need those
And I don't think it uses up significant battery. It definitely works well on Note4.

Still work under deep sleep?
