    I only started watching near the end of the Note edge presentation. When is the Note 4 release date and how much?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,006 ✭✭✭beno619


    She's hot as fúck. Great legs and everything. Love her voice and I hate brittish accents.
    That's Rachel Riley from Countdown and she is spectacular! Now queue the hysteria.

    Attractive ? Yes.

    Good at presenting phone or witty comments ? Nope.

    Insulted the crowed and fellow presenters to many times to count.

    So RAM is confirmed as 3GB? ...I may have missed something.

    "Too"
    Anyway back to the phone. I honestly don't see any reason to upgrade from my Note 3.
    The lack of dust proofing and water proofing is the biggest let down.
    Most improvements will be available to the note 3 in a firmware upgrade.

    Any where you can watch the show again I missed most of it.

    Yep, still a 32bit processor so 4gb of RAM would literally have been useless.

    The edge looks cool, but I'm struggling to see any advantage over the flat panel display. If I decide to go for it I think I'll stick to the flat panel.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,121 ✭✭✭ghogie91


    what are the major changes between the note 3 and 4?


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,866 ✭✭✭✭MuppetCheck


    Slightly bigger battery and a bit of metal...

    I'd imagine the edge would be a goner at the first drop.

    I like it but the loudspeaker placement in itself is enough to completely turn me off the phone. Loudspeaker placement on the back of phones needs to disappear

    Wait So are all note 4s going to be the edge model or is that a separate model? It doesn't appeal to me with the edge at all


  • Registered Users Posts: 644 ✭✭✭Am I Evil?


    Seperate model.
    The note edge looks awful, Wouldnt have been too bad with both sides chamfered, but just the one :rolleyes:

    Edge 2, two beveled edges.
    Edge 3, three beveled edges
    Edge 4, four beveled edges :rolleyes:

    Where would you wrest your hand when holding it ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,254 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    Underwhelmed.

    Release date of October strikes me as late - why the long lead-in time?


  • Registered Users Posts: 656 ✭✭✭pinkstars


    When is it being released in Ireland?


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,866 ✭✭✭✭MuppetCheck


    The more I think of it unless the reviews are outstanding the upcoming iPhone phablet is becoming more and more appealing. So too the Moto/Nexus one.

    Release date is October - Samsung are usually available in Ireland the same time as everywhere else. The Edge is going to be later.

    THIS, won't be changing from the note 3 for this reason alone :rolleyes:

    What's the best tablet to go along with the Samsung Note 3? Or one of the best tablets around?

    if you can wait until October, the rumours are that there is a new nexus tablet due out then.if all the rumours are true about the specs, I think it will be a beast at a fair price and will be running android L.

    So just watching the presentation here now...

    Coincidentally I just picked up my as-new Note 3 today so been playing with that this evening (it's been a while since I had an Android phone) but from what I'm seeing here...

    - There's nothing "must have" about the new model :( Most if not all of the software upgrades will be ported to the 3 - either officially or by 3rd party ROMs

    - The Edge does nothing for me.. ditto the watch or VR thing

    - Audience reaction seems pretty lacklustre as well

    - God this blonde one is annoying!

    I'll be in no hurry to part with my note 3

    Thinking of getting one of these soon. Is there any of that infamous Samsung lag with the Note 3? I've owned each of the Galaxy S 1,2 and 3 and all have suffered lag, with or without custom ROM.

    No lag whatsoever on my Note 3 running stock rom. It is light years ahead of an s3 in terms of spec and performance.


  • Registered Users Posts: 918 ✭✭✭markad1


    I enabled developer mode and set all the animations to 0. It made the phone feel faster. It was already fast but now its faster:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,866 ✭✭✭✭MuppetCheck


    I thought the Note 3 was quite laggy tbh, but it was better than the S5 which is a stuttering joke at times.


  • Registered Users Posts: 656 ✭✭✭pinkstars


    So who is eager to purchase?

    I got a exynos octacore Galaxy S4 from Asia last year, I am going to get the Note 4, does the EU model have the Exynos chipset?
