Has anyone noticed or felt that looking at other people's Notes makes your own note feel smaller? like, even though it's the same size, other people's notes look bigger to me.

If you are feeling small or not confident ...
Then shove a big fat mugen extended battery in the back with extended battery cover
... problem solved
No one will ever written your phone's girth

huh? not me, I don't have this feeling. Well perhaps they use a case which make their Note look bigger than yours if you are not using a protective casing?

lol...with such a big battery, the Note will definitely look like a brick which is the perfect term. People were looking in disgust when I used extended batteries in my past phones which made them looked bigger - since then, I had never bought any extended batteries - if I need juice, I take my 2nd stock battery with me.
Lol i get the exact same thing. I was watching a video of how to do some stuff on a note on youtube and thought the guys note looked bigger than mine.

that's a well known medical condition commonly called Notus Envie.
Oh I just take out my work phone (iphone) for a minute and play with. Then my Note grows again..... ;-) then the iphone feels like a toy

Mine looks bigger!
Maybe i'm over confident / un-shy or something like that
Seriously, you guys should go to a psycologist
Lol at all these. Actually I've had the same feeling too, and done the double check. On a related note, when I got my Note I ended up going to Amsterdam two days later, and saw 3 Notes on my first day! Helped convince my (iPhone toting) friends it was the best phone in the world!

I work with wood and before I actually bought my note I made a mock up of it lol I know, how sad, same size, and even stuck a picture on it to replicate the screen size and drew a hardware button on the front. Still think my fake one is better lol only joking hehe.

You are very close! It is actually a well documented psyco-medical condition called "notusus envititis". Medical scientists are currently working furiously for a lasting solution. I doubt if they will succeed before a bigger screened device appears on the scene.
Q - Whats better than a Gnote?
A- Two Gnotes
I'm feeling it too, especially when I see girls with Note in the street and transport. It seems a lot bigger than mine...
The same thing happens when I look at 27" monitors at a store compared to mine at home haha
You got to have a big hand. Thats why when you see others hold their note with their small hands its look bigger...

And here I was thinking that I was going insane. Seems I'm not the only one, I am normal, Yeah Baby!
I've got XL hands, so when I see girls/guys-with-girly-hands use it... I'm like man that's humongous. Mine never looks large, but it feels large with the TPU case on which I only have for the kickstand.
If Samsung shaved the bezels, made it thinner and added a kickstand... I'd be right at home. And if they trimmed it down a 0.1 inch, then I could do acrobatics on one hand ; )
So do you feel the same when showering at the gym?

same feeling. but then when I see my nepnew's S3, I feel happy n my G.Note becomes bigger.
Lol no you're not alone. I had the same feeling on the tube home last night. I own the Note in white and a commuter opposite me had the Note in black. His looked bigger when I looked at my own but then realised duh same device haha
China usually is much quicker. Well actually it's from Korea, the case, and I guess we gotta be really close to day 20. Anyway, what's the point now? One scratch/crack is the same as 100 as far as I'm concerned. It's a little crack actually connecting the upper left corner of the ear phone to the edge of the glass at the bezel right above the first little sensor whatever it is. So it's tiny almost but I'm not keeping it. I'm a baby like that. Hell yes, especially when I've forked up 600+ bones (is that what I paid about a month ago?) for it. If it was my skateboard that would be one thing, or my wife, or home, but my phone, that I buy a case for must be pristine right?
I don't know. I'll get black next time. Hey, which phone out there is faster? I'll miss the waterproof. And the dual cam is baddass. What do you guys think? I'm sure a replacement screen would cost me more than selling this one unlocked and lightly used then buying another used in mint condition as I want or a refurb, if one exists. Opinions? Couldn't this phone be one of the fastest in a few months with rom developments? If not then what? That htc one or something? Isn't this phone faster than the note 3? My benchmark results suggest so. Doesn't some company waterproof phones with a solution they dip it in or something? If I could waterproof that faster htc phone I may do that. With those two stereo speakers... Ef that fingerprint bs. 'Oh but you use it with PayPal' gag me with a spoon. Lol. Im 80's old.

If you are getting a new device, wait for the LG G3 - it will be superior in specs.
You just had to make my life that much more complicated. Thanks

I want those dual front speakers on the m8. Plus you can send it in to get waterproofed, which I'd do straight from ebay or wherever I'd buy it, and if its a touch faster than our s5 as it seems to be the impression I should be good for a while. And you can qi ready it too with an external receiver and case, which I'd need anyway. Hmm...

Could be. I'd wait for it.
Look for the leaked press images, it's very nice. Has a better screen and likely a better chipset than the S5 and M8.
Also, you are welcome

What about the speakers? I dont care about all that eye candy, my struggling eyes can barely appreciate this sweet screen ya know? I just went from hell to heaven from my s2 to my s5, I'm not sure I need much more. Ill wait a few days just to see what happens. Maybe itll come out in onky lime green, baby blue and hot pink in which case I'll pass.

Just read an article saying rumors stating either it COULD surpass the current champs in chipset dept, or just be similar, same as with the ram being either 3gigs or maybe just 2. So we'll see hopefully soon. I can't stand to look at my phone with its unhealable crack. Its disgusting. Spitoowee

I have the M8 and the S5. Look on youtube for M8 water test. One guy left it in his sink full of water for 30 minutes and it was fine. Great phone to. Better build, speakers, and it already has AOSP roms. *cough* Try out my Pacman build *cough*. The S5 does have a better camera though.

Cool, thanks. Hey, a better back camera yes, but I like how it's got this robust dual kick ass speakers/dual equally capable camera lenses plus some other features I didn't quite catch, and I'm not so all about the megapixels... until I need to zoom in during a video or crop a pic later ya know?
But tell me this possible deal breaker:
Can you record using both cameras as with our superb s5? Btw, did some vids at the pool underwater. Awesome cam. I guess the software might be secondary issue if as long as the hw supports it you could just find a camera app to emulate the one we have (?). So can it? Have you tested? Or is that standard these days? Haven't heard anyone rave about it other than me. I love the dual screen narrator and scenery/target effect.

If you are talking front and and rear cam recording at the same time yes. Theres a small box for the front camera that can be moved anywhere on the screen before filming. But the S5 cam is visibly better without zooming. Side by side the s5 has better colors and detail than the M8. If all you need it for is for quick snaps it is great. In low light its the best phone cam I have ever had, just dont plan on making any prints off of it.

And I did briefly try your rom on my s2. I didn't get a chance to try it out as I was rom hopping and ended up with the s5. new I'll make a note to check it out and if it works out well I'll make a note to donate. Just recently hit me how important it is to throw some cash where it s deserved especially for "the little guy" as I'm one myself and have it on my bucket list to program something kick ass

Just got a nexus 6 off craigslist for retail.... Phone is huge but fits comfortable in the hand. Using NFC to automatically download all my apps and and settings was seamless. Used my note 4 as that is the phone I have been using this week. Willing to ask any questions and post pics.
How does the screen compare to the Note 4?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Does it seem snappier than the Nexus 5 and Note 4?
Does the trim around the sides look purple in person?
Congrats on getting it!
The screen on the note is a little sharper... It is so Much snappier then the note 4. I have an at&t note 4 and it is so sluggish even just using hangouts is a choir. I'm hoping they fix it with an update Samsung needs to boggle down touchwiz and change the ui so out dated.
Yes typed in nexus 6 in craigslist someone had a midnight blue posted for 649 I responded and one meet up at Starbucks later I have a nexus 6. The metal on the sides are definitely blue

Why would someone sell it at the list price, when he can get so much more for it??
She said she got it free from google and the phone was too big for her. I can only assume she didn't really know what the resell value is since it isn't out yet and she can't compare. She literally charged me just 649 gave me one dollar back. She rocked!
Nice! Please post some more pictures though.
Here's what I'm wondering:
- Is there any noticeable lag especially when opening apps, taking shots with the camera and going through the overview (recent apps)?
- How do the camera and display compare to the Note 4? Can you do some side-by-side pics comparing the two devices?
- Is the back of the phone "rubbery" (like the black Nexus 5) or "slippery" (like older Samsung phones)?
- Any issues while you've had it?
awesome man,
does it have slimport support?
trim color purplish or metal?
sot?
Does the front facing camera lag and stutter, especially in lowlight, like on the Moto X 2014?
If you had a Nexus 5 (new) in hand, would you pay the $700+ for a Nexus 6 or would you hold onto the Nexus 5 for a while longer?

Hmmm weird how she would get it free from Google. Did it come with everything or just the phone? Cause the cable I see attached to the phone in your initial post is white, I thought it was black from reviews I've seen. I can almost bet she works for a certain carrier and she took it lol.
Awesome man. Waiting for more feedback on daily usage from you like battery life, camera etc.

So far I'm getting use to the size. This thing is huge. It's really fast but does show some lag when you open the camera and ambient doesn't work all the time. As far as if would I rather have my nexus 5 No I would choose the 6 over the 5 just because of the battery alone. Phone does not feel slippery at all. Metal trim is definitely blue when looking at it in person.

How bright is the screen in daylight outdoors.
How bad is the battery life compared to your note 4
Do you find it any faster than say, a nexus 5?
Does it still feel premium in hand than a note 4?
Anandtech reported slow Nand performance than nexus 5 and a worse lowlight camera performance than nexus 5. Even Joshua from the Verge said the n6 camera: "Its laughably bad"
Can you confirm any of this?

I'm happy for your upgrade! I was originally a HTC fanboy but they do things too slow and their flagships keep disappointing me, so when LG's revolutionary design came out I knew I had to get it. Loving every moment of using this phone it's simply terrific!

Whatever you do, don't go to the regular LG G5 forum.... There is so much negativity and haters/s7edge fanboys. I'm all for people charing their opinions but damn!
Anyway I got mine today, got the dark aluminum color (forgot the name) from ATT. It feels really nice and the wide angle lens is amazing. I will say I do have a bit of a gap between the bottom and the phone, but its not a deal breaker. I may go to the ATT store and compare to their floor model just to see if I am perhaps being too picky.

I know haha, that's why I posted here, other than the fact I'm using an AT&T version. I think the color you got is Titan? Anyways about the camera, I haven't been using a lot of it but I must say it's really quite different and does it's job pretty well. Compared to my old HTC One (M7) it's just planets apart. It takes in light really well too and basically just awesome. Also, I think you don't have to go to AT&T store cause whem the topic was brought up, I paid close attention and found out mine had the gap too! But honestly I'm not really bothered I don't feel it that much anyways. This phone's pros outweigh its con way too much haha.

I have issues with the front and rear cameras in Snapchat. I have also seen someone else with these issues in Snapchat on the lg g5 sub reddit. I don't have any issues with the camera in other apps as of yet. So I'm sure its Snapchat at fault.
I can confirm. Using native camera app pictures came out good and clear. Snapchat seems to take a **** with your camera and makes the pictures all grainy and blurry.
Well apparently my battery cradle and extra battery arrived today, they sent the shipping info today and when i go check the tracking number it's already at the post office niceee, so officially LG sent me the Accessory Bundle faster than BestBuy, now to wait for the BestBuy bundle to arrive at the store.
Does anybody experience slight increase in phone temp (as in while you're holding it you feel heat) when using snapchat or playing some games/cpu/gpu intensive apps ? I feel some heat but I just wanna make sure whether it's normal because of metallic body or defective battery.
I am thinking of getting a skin for my OP5 (black is kind of boring...) I looked at dbrand, but then come across xtremeskins - I like their color better... (I am planning for an Eva-01 color scheme from Neo Evangelion, sorry anime fans...) Any one has experience with Xtremeskins? Good/Bad?
Thanks!
I've used them loads of times they have great customer service and fast dispatch times. The skins themselves I can't fault at all they could use some new ones but thats just my issue of how many I bought lol
Oh and I will say the one major issue with them compared to the likes of Dbrand is you have to pop out all the cut out ports yourself. they're cut into the skin already but not taken out for you and it can be a little annoying at times.
Yeah - used a few times. Decent skins. Price has slowly come up tho :~(
Its all the same stuff. 3M car vinyls with no grip. Some have the ability to print custom designs on them (like car wraps). Really it all comes down to how precise the cut is, or how forgiving per say, from manufacturer to manufacturer.
This Affriction guy I keep hearing about though... got mad at all of those guys and created one himself that offers grip. I think he put post up in this section. He even discounted for xda peeps... cause he is also one of them.
Shameless plug,
Affriction.
Yup used them twice now, can't really fault the quality nor the ship time. Especially for me since I'm UK based and their a UK based company. Far quicker than getting anything from dBrand or Slickwraps. If it helps here's my most recent video of the S8 skin I had from them:
Yep used them one time, were definitely of high quality! Had a slight issue with mine where the skin was slightly torn, contacted support and they went above and beyond to help me out. New skin they sent out was perfect! Definitely my go to skin company

I took mine off, dbrand lasted ok on a very tight case, this one did not..great they're in the UK but man wish I'd not bothered.
Also Im quite used to fitting these, have done hundreds of them. Fitting was perfect, heat was taken from hairdryer quite well (Dyson) just couldn't take a case.
Shame.

Thanks for letting us know, one of my first times hearing about Xtremeskins quality since I got the op5 so pretty interested to see if they kept it up or not
I'm using matte black back skin. Was really easy to apply, fits perfectly. Feels like really good quality
Out of curiosity, what's the point of applying a skin when you have a case? I mean, I've ordered an Xtremeskin and a DBrand skin (Leather and Dragon) but now that I received the Karbon Bumper case, I find it so lovely and classy and beautiful and... that I don't see why I would not keep my phone in it... I think my O+5 is safe in the case, so...

Well if you have a case that covers 100 percent then the only reason would be so you can take it off and retain some protection.
Or if you don't have 100 percent cover, like the rhinoshield, the back of your phone will be open.
This set up sees to that.

but it's just a skin, it doesn't protect the phone, except from scratches, right? I mean, skin or no skin, the phone falls, either you're lucky or you're not, correct? The case adds a little to your lucky spirit, that's my point.
I'm not saying skins are no good, I bought 2 of them, waiting for the 2nd one to arrive to make my choice. But...

You've misunderstood me..
I'm extremely careful with my devices, so if I'm the office then I will mostly just use the skin as the chances of dropping it are pretty much zero.
But, if I'm going on a night out or I'm out doing something more active then I'll use a case.
The benefit to having a skin is cosmetic yes, it'll offer little to no protection against drops.
But in the case of bumpers it will save the back of the device against scratches.

Once my phone is in a case I like, then I don't see the point of removing it. The Karbon Bumper case looks so cool, totally in love with it now
I might try one of the skin I have, but...
Damn, I also really like the matte black one from Xtremes.
