If you're keen with Note series, Note 4 is currently already a great buy. More wait will only result price reduction (if the are), and more people will sell their Note 4 rush for Note 5. But still a great buy.

note 5 fully exposed....clear view of how it gonna looks like..

yeah..guess we have to wait for the official announcement..

nope, glass back not my thing, repaired too many Oppo R5, R1, R1L, R1x to know it's vulnerabilities, Note 4 still my way to go, so nope, not buying N5, buying N4 (soon maybe regardless when)

Care to share whats the drawback of glass back?

Breaking the glass.

If you really keen for note 4 , should wait for note 5 launched in Malaysia immediately note 4 price will drop slot further.

But I always suggest wait till they announce note 5 spec first.

Another thing if you don't use s pen there many other great alternative in market beside Samsung.

some are saying got 4000mAh battery... but i doubt it'll be such drastic increase.

then some are saying the dual SIM will actually allow one slot to double up a microSD slot. if true... wow... this is what i call flagship (if the battery size does not shrink).

Note4 is still a highly capable device.

About this time last year, I did state that I wouldn't get a Note 4, but I ended up with one because I was given an offer I couldn't refuse. Free Gear S for getting a Note 4...

Anyway, after using the Gear S, I have found 2 design issues with the device, and until such time that manufacturers improve it, I will not get any wearable device, but that's another story.

For those thinking of getting the Note 5, my opinion is that if you have the money and like getting the latest shiny, then go for it. Otherwise, the smartphone market is very much like the PC market now, only incremental improvement, and each year's flagship is just a speed bump. My PC is now 4 years old, and I still get good utility out of it.

The current "trend" of increased lockdown, loss of choice and reduced planned obsolescence cycles are simply ways to rape customers more.


I leave you with a quote attributed to Carl Sagan:

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

have to agree with you...

wearables... i really can't see how they can add-value at this moment. do doubt they can do a few extra things, but personally for me, they just don't warranty the price. for me anyway...

in terms of trend of extra lockdown, etc... ya... agreed. and increasing launch price rather than lowered price is also another issue. i remember when s2 used to launch at rm2199 (i think) but looking at current model's launch price... i'm shocked. and i thought we're at the time where prices are supposed to have dropped to an "affordable" level.

and... oneplus did make things worse... after paying only rm1.4k for a real flagship phone (oneplus one), i just find it hard to pay so much more for a phone. but... the s-pen is so different... so... useful. i am scouting for a replacement for my note2. probably wait for note5 to hit market... that's when i expect note4 prices to drop. then grab one...

@Stitchie
Thanks for the explanation @joytest !!!

I just read the leaked article about note 5 with pics. It looks like a major disappointment. If this is a case i guess i should give a look on Note 4 now.

hi
"Another thing if you don't use s pen there many other great alternative in market beside Samsung?"
I don't use S pen, I try to look out for Other alternative but they may not hv such capable camera, screen, hv replacement bat and micro SD slot. And the worse thing is alternative may not hold its value as good as Note 4 when u want resell.

i had the same thought myself, looking at current market price of the 4, i say it is quite steady and slow drop

the cheapest i can find is rm1.8k, snapdragon AP set. let me know if u can find cheaper than this
