I hope that this can become some kind of reference for potential buyers, and I don't care how it stacks up to the nexus family. I know it's fast, i know the gpu is 72 cores, I know the front camera sucks, I know it's 1280x800, and I know that it has a stylus. I just have a few questions.
DOES IT GET HOT? - I have had an atrix 4g and an optimus 4x HD (tegra 2 and 3 respectively) and I need to know, from a USER, will I get overheat followed by godawful thermal throttling if I play, let's say, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite or N.O.V.A. 3 for 45 minutes plus? 2 hours? And how hot DOES it get? The 4x hd would reach 65 to 70 degrees (cpu) and as much as 56 degrees (battery). To the point where touching the back of the device instilled a feeling of alarm. This is my biggest point of hesitation on the note 7.
THE RAM - I know the ram has insane speed. (1600 ddr3l) Even so, it's still only 1gb. I will often Skype or hangouts while playing my games, maybe even swap back and forth between a couple browsers and craigslist, still during the games and Skype. That all happens on just 2 gigs of 440mhz ram on my note 2. Will this be possible on my evga note 7? Or will I have to adjust my multitasking?
I/O (storage speed) - Friend's generic Chinese quad core tablet (irrelevant model) gets awful storage speed, which will bottleneck his relatively nice quad core CPU when he runs intense emus, like Drastic DS or ppsspp. Emulators like this, as well as games that take up extra large amounts of internal storage like Modern Combat 4, are pretty much all I play. Do I have anything to worry about? Will this be a point of disappointment for the tn7?
Thank you all for your patience for a new and nooby user..

As you can see from the screenshot the I/O is just a bit faster then your note 2. I'm not sure about it getting crazy hot and start throttling because I don't play those kind of games. If your worried about heat you can set it into power save mode which will limit the fps to 30 and use only 2 cores which can reduce heat and keep decent performance. The multi tasking seems pretty decent and I've been able to switch between chrome and YouTube pretty easily, except sometimes Google search gets killed and I'll have to wait for the launcher to come back up. If your worried about ram you could try a swapper app to give it some virtual ram to use which can help.

Thank you, I'm relieved that they didn't put cheapo nand in this thing, and low power sounds promising. I'll have to look into bench performance on that. Still need someone to tell me about heat when running all 4 cores, though.
It's so awesome, seeing so many higher scores than the note 2.

It doesn't get hot! I too was scared of this. As for the RAM, multitasking is amazingly quick. But it does fill up pretty quick but I haven't ever experienced lags when it fills up a lot.

It does get hot man on the bottom left of the back (while you look at it) but nothing really too bad. There's no creaking on the screen when you press but it does creak a little its not the best build in the world. But nothing that will make you feel like it wasn't worth the purchase. Am on my second advent one first one was dropped by my two year olds and the speaker bust on one side. Apart from that nothing else to say =)

Max temperatures????
The max temperature that the device needs to hit is 102°c for it to automatically shutdown, contains alot of thermal throttling for safety, nvidia know what they are doing this device can definitely accept good heat
Dear God, I'd definitely fly into an panic if it got that hot. 73'c on the 4x HD was close to a smidge painful. My PC doesn't even get that hot. Mobile processors ftw

Anyone else as dissapointed as I am about Asphalt 7? We finally get it for the TF300T months late, after it was blocked outright for no reason with no explanation when other Android devices were allowed to download it. Obviously, it was blocked because they didn't want the negative reviews to hit immediately upon release.
And after all this time what do we get? The most optimized, mind-blowing version yet? No. The exact opposite. The graphics are abysmally far from maxed out, and the framerates are average at best. Even the tilt-controls are unusably innacurate with a perfectly callibrated TF300T. This is a quad-core machine advertised for gaming on android and fast processing. What a joke.
Meanwhile, my iPhone, a PHONE has been playing this for months with perfect tilt-controlling, max graphics and great framerate. What a terrible shame. I'm continually dissapointed by laginess and general unoptomization of the TF300T itself, the last thing we need is horribly unoptimized games that release months late. Android has so much more potential than iOS, but I'm really at a loss for words with this machine and this game.
While I cannot speak on the game I can say my initial dissapointment with this tablet was washed away when I rooted And rom' d it. The hydro ROM is above and beyond expectations. Should come stock on this tab.

Not surprised it wasn't optimized for Tegra 3. Reminds me of how it typically take a year before games get optimized for a new gaming console. I don't expect a company like Gameloft to optimize a game for Tegra 3 when only a small percent of the market uses it. I think the Nexus 7 is the first device that uses Tegra 3 that will move a substantial amount of units. At this point I'll give Gameloft a pass. A year from now I will find it annoying.

Hi guys,
I currently own a Galaxy Note N7000, but am planning an upgrade. To the Note 2. Yay!
My Note gets really hot when playing games like Arcane Legends, especially if I plug in the charger (of course). Some times, it gets so hot that the top side of the screen burns my thumb!!! And that even when playing Arcane Legends alone, not charging at the same time!
I wanna know. Are there people who have owned the original Note and switched to the Note 2? If yes... those are the people I want to talk to. They know best how to compare the two.
Never had the N7000 but I can tell you that the N7100 never gets that hot. A little warm yes, hot no.

I wouldn't say it gets too hot, but if you play the right games it can get toasty. Not too shabby though. Any mobile device these days can get up there in temps. It is the nature of the beast. Getting smaller and more robust and trying to keep the temperature down is all part of the challenge. I wonder how well the a15/mod'ed a9's will run in the next year or two. Eager to see how well Samsung's exynos CPU pairs together with imagination technologies GPU. Exciting times for the android gamers as they might see more games and many of those ported from iOS or more time put into them. I really would like science to take advantage of our smartphone gpu's much like distributed networking on PC's.

I'm not gonna sit around and wait another year. I'll get the Note 2, as soon as I sell this Note. My alternatives are... the HTC One, which I doubt will shine development-wise, the Xperia Z which has poor speaker performance and cr*ppy screen and the S4, which will also suck development-wise.
Yeah, definetly not gonna sit around to wait for the A15-powered devices.
I hate my Note right now for the following :
- poor battery performance (despite its 2500 mAh battery)
- screen sucks so bad (plus, black clipping)
- overheating like hell
At least the first two are better on the Note 2 . Enough for me to upgrade.

I am sure that the HTC One will get great dev development seeing as how that codeworx is getting the device, as for S4, it should also get great development as it is going to be a very popular device and most of the S4's are going to be Qualcomm not Exynos.

I had the Note 1 and now have the Note 2 and they are 2 different phones. The cpu on the Note 2 is much more powerfull and battery friendly than the one on the GN1. Temperatures are very good and haven`t experienced any heat issues. Switching over to the GN2 will only bring you advantages.

Won't have enough money for neither the One nor the S4. So, it's gonna be the Note 2. It's a powerful enough little tiny beast, anyway

Thank you for your input.
Battery life and power is exactly why I was considering the Note 2. Otherwise I could go for the S3, which has the same ammount of RAM (not really good for long term) and pretty much the same battery life as my Note. Not really worth paying 150 extra bucks for that... Better pay 200 extra bucks for a Note 2 :silly:
The screen is also an important factor for which I am considering the Note 2 over the S3. Screw pentile. RGB for the win!
Also, I know the Note 2 comes with a 2 amp charger. That's awesome! I will be able to play AND charge at the same time :silly:

The note 2 NEVER gets hot, like ever.. compared to the note1 which does get considerably hot when gaming.
Rest assured that you wont burn your thumb ever again with newer generation phones. Also, battery life on n7100 is brutal.

I did join the Note 2 club last week
I have to admit I was tempted to go for the cold metal beauty of the One, but delayed deliveries to Polish carriers took that option away. And wasn't that impressed by the Z. Not regret it much. That large screen is just beautifull. Who needs FullHD when it's already so sharp and amazing. Seems to be the perfect size too. Well, put it in a case and it gets too big for me. But having the extra screen estate over the lesser phones really is great!
Was initially put off by the horrible look of TouchWiz (have been using CM on my Galaxy S for a long time), but after customizing it a bit (inspired by coldfustion YouTube videos), I'm pretty happy with the results. I now mostly only see the ugliness of TouchWiz during calls and sometimes in the dialer (when it appears from a system call, rather then is brought up manually). Guess I'll proably eventually get rid of that too with a custom ROM, but I'm not in a hurry.
Coming from Galaxy S, I can really appreciate the GPS speed and accuracy. The volume of the loudspeaker is also very nice, even if clarity is nothing to write home about. Browsing and reading/writing e-mails is a real pleasure on this beast!
It does get a bit warm during gaming sessions, but it doesn't seem very hot and I hope its nothing that can cause an actual burn!
The smoothness is not that amazing too me though. I guess partially because I use MultiPicture Live Wallpaper and it always reloads the wallpaper during switching landscape/portrait mode. The default lockscreen was laggy as hell too (tried various fixes suggested here). But I turned that off and am now using the lockscreen from Go Launcher Ex, which is much faster (well, actually that and some icon packs are the only functionalities of that launcher I use... otherwise it's way too laggy, especially compared with Nova). But I'm sure the speed can easily be fixed with a custom ROM.
Just wish I could scale the keyboard down, cause it wastes too much screen estate (using Swype). And Multiwindow... the menus take way too much space... it should scale the content down as well, because as things are, very little actual content is displayed in each window.
^ A little off topic, but just wanted to say that all your wishes can be fulfilled with a rooted stock rom and simplistic and or xposed frameworks, including theming and dpi change, when you're ready for it

note 2 was very cool, note 3 is like note 1, heat as fcuk when you use the processor at full speed
Well, we are talking about a 2.3Ghz Quadcore. (Or a 1.9+1.3Ghz Octa). Run a CPU like that on a laptop and they'd have to stick a large fan and heatsink on top of it just to keep it cool.
On your phone it only has plastic (which is a terrible heatsink), no cooling gel, no air flow and no fan. Of course power like that is going to cause the phone to get hot.
Not to mention if you're holding it, what little heat the plastic dispenses is going to bottle up at your hands.
My n900 exynos (fake) octa doesn't get hot as my friend's 4g n9005 gets. I think it's because it has a bit slower clock speed. I noticed some warm in initial setup, when my google account was transferring back all data and apps at same time, and occasionally while playing Real Racing 3 at maximum graphics setup via RR3 Graphics app.

Figured I would write a quick review of this awesome tablet since I have seen many questions on XDA but no review.
Build quality: build quality as a whole is brilliant, it only creaks if you apply a lot of pressure to the device, and if you I like to squeeze your devices then you may have personal issues , this tablet is not for someone who likes beautiful pretty tablets, the design is for someone who likes build quality that screams power and has a very aggressive design.
Display: the display is not the best we all seem to have realised that, but its good enough and there is much worse out their. The colours seem washed out a lot but one positive (with mine anyway) is the white colour, its REALLY pure white, no yellowish hue or blue.
Camera: both are not good, front is unusable and back is OK but lacks detail. ALOT. Still can't find where the slow motion feature is.
Performance wise: this tablet is blazing fast, its the fastest tablet I have owned hands down, and I have has the nexus 7 2013 and Toshiba excite pro which also had a tegra 4 processor. Lag is non existent and apps open up faster than my galaxy S4.
benchmarks:
Geekbench multi core: 2503
Antutu: 35090
Stylus: I have had every single galaxy note device and the stylus on the tegra note is much more accurate and responsive, with the galaxy note the on screen cursor always lagged a couple millimetres behind the pen, but this tegra note is much more accurate, would of looked much better though if screen was Full HD.
Battery: battery life has been OK, I am currently on KitKat and I get the same screen on time as I do in heavy usage as I do on my S4, which is between 5 - 6 hours. Its enough for me but may not be for some. I always use it on the balance settings with low brightness, sync off and WiFi always on.
Software: KitKat update has been OK for me, I don't have a SD card inside so don't experience the issues with the SD writing. Its stock android and is buttery smooth.
My rating: 9\10
I love this tablet after all, probably would give it a 7.5 if it wasn't so cheap (got mine for £140)
Any sensible questions are welcome. Will be doing a video review on my YouTube channel soon.

At 213 DPI, is somewhere just above the acceptable line, dead trigger 2 on high graphics and full brightness looks amazing, but kills the battery in under 2hours. So far from the best, but equally far from the worst possible, screen is fairly mediocre, but the extra power of the Tegra chip makes up for that with increased graphic fidelity.

It was decent but overall a bore you were drone like the ceiling lamp/fan was bad and even worse it become apparent you recorded a voice over once the camera showed your face in the tablet reflection which showed still lips but a voice coming out. Starting with a demonstration is great only a few can relay specs and have their viewers not fast forward what they already know. Overall as I said it was decent.

It was decent but overall a bore you were drone like the ceiling lamp/fan was bad and even worse it become apparent you recorded a voice over once the camera showed your face in the tablet reflection which showed still lips but a voice coming out.

No you didn't. You said first it was overall a bore. You just condtridicted yourself buddy. Anyway thanks for feedback. I didn't have the proper equipment and I ain't no professional. I do now so I am back doing videos. But anyway please come across a bit more friendly next time you give advice

I'm fine with the way I gave/give advice except I missed a sum up just in case you didn't understand a/the paragraph.
-Drone like voice
-You tilted the device wrongly catching bad reflection
-Overall a bore but it was decent the bore comes from your voice and "default" spec talk
I said nothing about your equipment next time there won't be a next time the video was a snooze. As far as being a professional if it's a goal work at it there are a couple points already equipment is fine, your voice, constantly moving the tablet around, makes it a bit boring. Trusting equipment to catch you won't work I'd suggest you get the basics first. As far as nice I'm some where in the middle don't read to much into it either the effort is good or bad but with work you can become better.
Good luck.

The voice was due to my poor knowledge with how to put the voice OVER the video itself and a bad mic, yes I did tilt it and got bad reflection I agree, and yes my voice was like a "drone" as you say. And it was pretty dull I must admit.
All your points I mostly agree with. And thank you for your honesty, but there are ways to be more positive with giving advice that's all I am saying.
Maybe I am just a British stereotype who get's offended easily, if that's the case I do apologise!
Thanks for the review and also to Android insanity for posting up the helpful video, I have just sold my galaxy note 8" tablet and was either going to spend the money on a ps vita or this note 7.
A question, when you install games does it automatically default to highest quality graphics or do you have to tweak things to get them.

Yes, games automatically get set to highest graphics quality. I have played Riptide GP 2, Asphalt 8, Smash Hit, Real Boxing ( price dropped by 77%, I will buy it now!!!!! ) and all automatically get set to max graphics. Other games like Real Racing 3 automatically download the optimized data files for tegra 4.
There is also option in development section in setting to force 4X MSAA Anti-aliasing to all applications.

( I would prefer to buy Note 7, it is new and has amazing stylus PLUS superb battery performance when playing HD movies over wifi - around 9 hrs. )
I'm due to get an S5 on the UK release date next Friday. One of the issues with the Snapdragon 600 powered S4 is overheating. I can barely do anything with my current S4 without it ending up uncomfortable to hold in a matter of minutes, especially 3D games like Minecraft. Even underclocking and undervolting doesn't appear to make a difference.
Can anyone confirm the Snapdragon 801 on the S5 improves on this?
i'd like to know as well. my GS4 got pretty damn hot up near the camera and ear piece...would get hot doing random stuff that wasn't even games (i don't game on phones) and using the camera.
Did the S4 really get that hot?. After like 20 minutes of web browsing on my Xperia Z, the back becomes almost too hot to touch.
I used my friend's S4 for like an hour, doing the stuff i usually do with my Z, and i found that it didn't even get warm :S

801 is cool right out of the box ( except for 1st run unfortunately as it updates quite a lot of shjt stuff)

So there are no issues with the phone heating with activities like game playing, browsing and movie playback etc?

Nope, not a big 1. Phone just warm, thats all. I will try an intense game 2mo then ill report How about doing Antutu like 10 times in a row ( same as playing 30 mins game ). Let see how it goes. Haha. My fone will die before new S5 is delivered to your house due to heavy testing lol
By the way if the fone is hot, u can put it under the water tap to cool it down. I tested it ( seriously). It worked lol.

I think, this has been one of the main problems of the new smartphones that has been released nowadays.
