Galaxy Vs. OLD Phone

Interested to know peoples impression of the galaxy note based on what they have had in the past...or upgraded from. I'm currently awaiting my GN to arrive and I'm giving my SGS II up for it so I'm hoping its a worthy trade up.
I love the SGS II design and feel. I upgraded from the SGS 1 and was the best thing I've done.

if u love big screen or bigger than s2 then u gonna love the note but if u think s2 is big enough then stick with s2. i come from 3.5" screen. now never look back smaller size than the note. i used old one a bit today and felt like a toy.

Anyone changing from an iPhone 4 and how they compare the screen clarity/pixel density of the Note to the retina display of the iPhone?

I've got a 3.5" galaxy ace. I got a chance to try out the note, and I'm absolutely in love with it. The tiny screen is a pain to use right now, can't wait to get my note.

Black Ink Spots On Screen

Well guys... seems like my new N7105 also has the same issues as a lot of I9300. The black ink spots on the screen when it's almost shutdown.

Same thing on the first note, but are you really bothered, you can't see them in use?

It is normal on amoled screen. I had on s2, note, s3 and now on note 2 there are some.

well...it doesn't bother me as long as they only appear in those blank stages. Read some posts where the users said that after a while the spots could be seen even in daily use. Fingers crossed. Got mine for 400 euros from USA without warranty :fingers-crossed:

Note II is flawless
i had the same issue on my S2 and S3 but my Note II is just perfect :laugh: guess i'm one of those lucky ones to get it without any flaws in the display.

Yes all has. But it really doesn't bother me at all, and i don't even notice it, unless i pay attention too much.
A bit of smearing is ok, we have pure blacks on s4's display

Nexus 6P screen problem?

Hello everyone!
I saw lots of posts on the internet about the nexus 6P having dome sort of tint either pink or yellow. I do not know if mine does that. I mean looking at it straight it looks ok. But my problem is that at the slightest tilt of the phone the color change a bit to something a little greenish/bluish. Also at big angles the screen has a rainbow effect that i didn't notice on a s6 edge, for example.
I do not know if this is normal. It is a bit annoying because having the google keyboard which is a greyish color when i tilt it a bit it gets a little greenish. Is that normal? What should I do? I checked the manufacturing date and it is in Octomber.
The model is a 32GB Graphite.
Best regards!

Anyone?

That's amoled screens for you

It looks kinda weird. I checked with a friend's s6 edge and we t does not act like this. Mine is like...white...tilt it right greenish...tilt it left...greenish....tilt it a lot on either side...rainbow. Is an amoled screen supposed to do this?

Yes I bet your friends s6 edge has it to some extent or in a different colour. I've has 4 s6 phones 2 tab s 10.5 and 1 tab s2. They all have it to a certain extent. Some worse than others but a slight tint is the best your going to get

I have the same issue too on my 6P! And I also happen to own an S6 edge, just like you've mentioned, the Samsung phone had no color shifting. I don't really think an AMOLED is supposed to do this.

I love my 6P...i just thing the screen is not that excellent. Should I ask for s replacement? Just tuping this and moving my fingers on the keyboard I can see the color of the keyboard shifting...this is annoying

I think you should ask for a replacement. My unit seems to be not as bad as yours. I only get that color shifting at higher viewing angles.

I think your obsessing and looking at it too much try another one

I noticed it on mine immediately. I had an s3 and it never happened on that so I'm not sure you can blame it on amoled. Also, it was so bad in mine, it took away any advantage of having amoled screen. It was worse than any lcd screen I had in recent years. I returned and got a refund.

Too bad, 6P is a great phone.

What phone did you have before?

One question I've got for you S8+ owners, what phone did you guys switch from and a brief explanation as to why?
I switched from an S7 edge, because I've been a Samsung fanboy since the GS2 and I've owned every single Samsung flagship since that time, so I didn't want to end the streak. I also picked one up because the midnight black one is probably the best looking phone I've ever seen and because the phone is still rare where I live, it 'stands' out a lot.

I came from a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ 64 GB model. It is still a great phone today and it's also fast and nice. But the things that made me to go for the Galaxy S8+ is.....
1. Bigger screen. 6.2 inch vs 5.7 inch.
2. Better camera in low light environments and in focusing on objects.
3. Better stabilization under video recording. Now you can use both OIS and EIS at the same time on all resolutions. I could only use OIS and EIS at the same time with [email protected] fps on the Galaxy S6 edge+.
4. MicroSD card support. Yes, my Galaxy S6 edge+ was missing that.
5. Better sound quality via the 3.5mm headphone jack. Yes, i do love to listen to musics.
6. Snappier / faster phone in general use.
7. IP68 water and dust resistant.
8. A design that looks futuristic. Yes i kinda needed something that had a new and fresh look.
So there you have my reasons on why i changed from the Galaxy S6 edge+ that i had for one and a half year .
EDIT: I just sold my Galaxy S6 edge+ phone today. Good night sweet prince, you served me well those one and a half year.

Screen marked too easily on the Porsche Design so needed Gorilla Glass 5 which is much more resistant to scratches - I know this as I didn't put a screen protector on the Note 7 and really didn't look after it (knowing it was being returned).

OnePlus3 for me, and quite frankly the S8 makes it feel like a cheap toy

Nexus 6. Had my fill of keeping up with rooting and ROMs.

Galaxy S4. Got it when it came out and it was a beast, thanks to XDA and all the wonderful people here it has been going strong since then but it's been showing it's age for the past year or so.
My requirements were simple. Good support from the manufaturer and community (XDA), removeable battery and/or SD card, not an LG, and just something that really stood out over my S4. Was dissapointed with the s6 an no SD card, was tempted for the s7 but timeing never added up then when i had the money and started looking the s8 was around the corner. As soon as i picked up and tried the demo i knew i wanted it.
Few online searches and $1200 later i have a g955F. I love it.

Pixel XL. Gave it to my dad when I got the s8+

Nexus6p and keeping it for a while....

LG V10 since Dec 2015. I had to warranty three of them thanks to the bootloop issues and I'm suppose to be picking up my S8+ from my local store today.

Galaxy Note 7.

I came from the Moto Nexus 6, which I completely loved. The processor is getting a little long in the tooth as is the battery. While I wasn't as harsh on it as the critics were, the camera doesn't hold up in comparison to today's phones. A phone finally came along where I did not have to compromise on screen size (I like the big screens). S8+ is it. While I'm not a fan of Samsung's heavy handed user experience, those things are pretty easily remedied with a new launcher and the removal of some bloat.

Iphone 7plus & mate 9 pro.
Got tired of not being able to customize the iPhone and updates are horrible on the mate 9 pro ( International version)

Gorilla Glass 5 sucks.

Note 7. I dropped it and cracked the screen after the S8+ came out. The battery life in the S8+ is awesome!!!! I got say, I don't miss the Note 7 especially with the Note app carrying over to the S8. Thank goodness for the smart switch feature!
I will still buy the Note 8 in the fall.

I had the Note 7 but had to return it, and went back to using my Note 5. I was going to wait for the Note 8 but my Note 5's battery is starting to show it's age and I decided to get the S8 since it feels so good in the hand. Then I decided to try the S8+. Not sure which I like better. The S8 sure does feel nice in the hand, but of course the bigger display on the S8+ is very nice.
I also have a Pixel, which is an OK device. I wanted a Pixel XL but the 128GB were always backordered and by the time I could get one, the S8/S8+ was almost released so I passed and went for the S8.
As for the reasons I picked the Galaxy devices over the Pixels - the display is the main reason for me. The Pixel camera is good but they don't have wireless charging, which I really like, and the bezels on the Pixel are huge.
When the Note 8 and the Pixel XL2 are released, I will decide between those 2 and sell the S8+ in all likelihood. I will probably keep the S8 since it is such a nice size for when I don't want a huge device.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 SM-T705 LTE Model. i find the Galaxy S8+ To small..
