Well as 99% of you know the SIII has been launched, with a whole host of software features.
What are the chances of us getting some of these features? A couple that appeal to me are the Music Hub (newer less usless version) and the new dongle that mirror to the TV.
It'd be great to get these features.
(Could this be the reason ICS got delayed?)
We gets the hubs for music, movies and the others.
Faceunlock but if u close your eyes and the screen goes off this feature is only for sgs3 and the videofrature too.

We'll never have them 'cause the s3 was "designed for humans" and the note was designed for aliens lol

I would like to see the improved camera software for our Note, such as faster shutter speed (current speed annoys me compared to my SGS1 Epic 4G which has a super fast shutter) and 3.3 second between shots.
I'm very interested in the AllShare Cast wireless streaming dongle.
I can't see any reason it wouldn't be offered for the Note, or any modern Samsung device for that matter.

i really want wireless display mirroring too!
hope our NOTE meet the hardware requirement....
We will get all of them soon...Just give our devs couple of months
What about the Siri clone? You think we will get it?
Well, if we do get it (and im sure eventually in time it will be), the only thing that I'm pretty sure we won't ever get is NFC... (this is after all the International Note version thread), this needs the hardware part... which I'm pretty sure our Note lacks the better part of it as well.
I feel like a good chunk if not almost all of these features could be ported to our Notes. Seeing as they've said that the quad core Exynos is supposed to be pin for pin identical to the dual cores in the fact that they can be changed out without having to alter your design I'd have to think the whole setup is similar, but I'm just guessing. The biggest thing I've been wondering about is with the whole zero shutter lag. Is it possible to port or give our older phones this ability? I don't know if new hardware is physically required or if it's all software? If my Note could have zero shutter lag, or even much faster shutter speeds and ICS. I'm perfectly happy without the SIII.

Yup, that's true:

It would be interesting if they held the Note's ICS update back, so they can show off all the new features on their flagship first. Rather than the S3 announcement essentially being; 'Its got all the features of the Note but its smaller and has no SPen'

Whilst I'm not a fan of threads such as this (prefer waiting), you are likely on the money. With 3 million Notes sold and S3 launch, you don't want to steal the new arrivals thunder!
Nexus S ICS was on Google Employees handsets for ages before publically released as Google needed to get units of Galaxy Nexus shifted.
Any timeframe extension the inhouse devs might have been given to allow for the launch of the S3 (in developing ICS mainstream Samsung build, Note extras and other device specific extras for say S2 for example) can only be a good thing.

You stole the words right out of my mouth.
I personally feel that most of the features should be able to get ported, especially the new TouchWiz Launcher Nature UX. Its essentially got the ICS stock feel with a Widget tab while allowing transparency.
I am hoping to get the ROM ported with features from the note, mainly SMemo stuff over to the note, that would be a delight.
Good Luck Dev's
I am not really impressed with the SIII, I am not saying it's bad rather it's awesome and I would have wanted it on day one had I not had my GNote. 4.8 is still small and it feels awkward saying that.
Coming to your question, who knows it might all be the ICS Update, if not then in Note II definitely.

This is what i posted in the main ICS thread & this is what I feel..
I think Galaxy note will get ICS updates inline with Galaxy S2 with the addition of premium suite. Both of them are previous years's model.
Galaxy note 2 & Galaxy S3 will have same feature set.
From business point of view if Galaxy note gets the features then Galaxy note 2 will be only a hardware upgrade. Well that wouldnt create the hype would it ?
Regarding porting to our note our devs will certainly turn the magic wheels....
I am leaning towards the PORT and not a Samsung Supported update due to the same reason of Productization and ensuring that the customer can differentiate between the Note and the SGS III, otherwise the Note will win with the features and screen size, but lacking the Quad Core.
I also feel with a complete ICS build running on the Note it probably won't be that much slower than the GSIII despite dual vs. quad. Heck people said it's the same GPU just overclocked right? As for Note 2 I wouldn't be surprised if they introduce some new features. Maybe HD SuperAMOLED+? Wasn't the Note the first Samsung phone to have the HD Screen, GLONASS, S-Pen, etc?
As for some of the new features my Droid Charge which is basically just Galaxy S hardware has the newer launcher, widgets, and some of the features from the Galaxy SII. So I think we could see stuff brought to our Note!!
Hi
People using Note 2 and S3 would know what I'm talking about.
If the Dialer and Contacts app are not in memory (e.g. the first time to launc) they can take upto 3 -5 seconds to load up in those devices.
This was a major pain point.
Is such a lag still present in S4?
Indeed it is! I tried it yesterday in a shop. I wondered the same thing and tried it. There it was.. the stupid lag even with its 2BG of RAM.
The crappy Samsung software is the reason I didn't bother getting the S4 after owning the S2 & 3. I sold my S3 on Ebay and bought an HTC One.
Another thing I realised after using another device is that Samsung's UI design is quite ugly. Not just the icons, but the colour schemes in menus and the general fonts and styling. Samsung could really do with some good designers to spruce up that UI. Its similar to my Samsung TV with its ugly graphical interface.
Hi
I am considering buying a new phone - Note4 (I have Note2 right now) and I went to a shop with most modern phones to compare. I was focusing mainly on Samsung's phones and I noticed there are huge differences between ROMs even when the android version is the same.
Galaxy Alpha's ROM has a different theme and in general the phone works definitely faster than Note 4 or Galaxy S4 or Galaxy S5. I noticed f.e. that finally there is no delay when switching between the phone tab and the contact tab (previously looked like separate apps on Samsung's ROMs). It was not the case in the Note4! Alpha has android 4.4.4 ROM and so the Galaxy S4/Note4 which is slower than the Alpha. Galaxy S5 UI is faster than Note4's but it has 4.4.2 preinstalled. I tried two different Note4 phones and the same results. I don't even mention the design because Note4's touchwiz looks almost the same as the one delivered for Note2 with the latest update. Alpha's ROM looks much better.
Do you know what may be a reason?
Maybe thay platformed their products to some lines: Note, S ...
With a ton of Spem features they would not want rebuild bases on latest UI like Alpha. I think they based on Note series to dev more features, tweak more to match demand, business plan or something else...
My wife is using Note 2 and I can say that you will enjoy Note 4 which has many things upgraded from Note 2. A big step.
We will have another big step by next Lollipop update
Yes that's correct that there are improvements comparing the original Note2's ROM version to Note4. The problem is that I am completely not satisfied with the Note2. It's so slow it is generally not usable without flashing with the cyanogenmod or something else. I want to buy a device I can use without rooting it at the first day and loosing a warranty. I was quite happy with the speed of the Alpha but completely not happy with what I saw in the Note 4. The problem is that it seems that the Alpha is the only Samsung's device right now which works without any jitters but it has so weak battery it won't last a full day when using more intensively. Maybe as I work in the IT I am less patient with the hardware but I could imagine the original Note4 hardware with a stock ROM would be probably much better.
What do u guys think? Will our S7 edge get the new updated Grace UX and other things like the new and improved AOD? Officially I mean of course not via ports!
btw why can't someone just port Note 7 rom without adding a ton of "features/tweaks" just a simple 1:1 port? Do u think someone will resist the urge to put his nickname in the Buildnumber section or add 7 billion things to the power off menu?
anyone?
I'm sure some will. The software stuff usually ends up in a future uodate.
HDR streaming capabilities
Someone mentioned a camera app with more features in the Note7 but there's not much I would fault with the stock S7 one. I would certainly not want them (Samsung) to mess with the algorithms.
More user flexibility in Edge facilities and AOD with 3rd party app notifications are about as much as I like.
Add a fourth 'user' screen colour adjustable slider and I'd be even happier. (I use Screen Balance at present, not bad either).
Tbh, I am more interested in Nougat (which, incidentally, has screen tint/white balance adjustments. At least at the moment but they may not make it into a final version).
Today s6 and note 5 get the game launcher available on galaxy store you have to download game launcher and then you will download game tools within game launcher
Will we expect more features coming to s6 like always on display and new grace ux with Android N update?
We have to wait for the answer of the question

Don't get your hopes up about Always on display feature, S6 will never ever get it officially.
But with the Grace UX, there's a great chance that it will come to S6 and S6 Edge before the Android N's official release.
Also, Samsung's S Health app has just recently been updated with new look, as Albe95 says it's "Note 7 Grace UX S Health" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68122799&postcount=1673) so as you can see, this is just only the beginning and we can be sure that the New Grace UI will be on S6 and S6 Edge before you know it.
Cheers!!
:laugh:
Yeah grace ui probably but no always on for sure...

Always on display is a gimmick and battery drainer! I never turned it on again after 1 month use in Nokia Belle (which was better than the Android's counterpart) and still not impressed by it. My phone's battery life will never be enough
What if i dont have the galaxy app store?

Samsung recently pushed out an update to the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge that brought along Samsung Cloud, a new feature that the company debuted with the Galaxy Note 7.
The updated Gallery app has Samsung’s new Grace UX interface, but more notable is its inclusion of face and object recognition.
The improved Gallery should be making its way to other flagships in the near future, and so should the entire Grace UX. The latter will probably arrive with the Android 7.0 update, although we’re hoping Samsung will port specific Note 7 features through minor updates following up to the release of Nougat.

What do game launcher?
Samsung recently brought two new features from the Galaxy Note 7 to the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge through an update in Italy, and the company is now pushing out the same update to consumers in India. Both devices are getting an over-the-air update sized at around 150 MB; the update brings the Samsung Cloud service and also the new gallery that features face and object recognition.
The update also improves performance in games that utilize the Vulkan API and the response of the touch screen. Power consumption improvements are also on-board thanks to optimization to Smart Manager. A couple of bug fixes are included as well, with a fix for the flashlight/torch not working properly and for problematic cover recognition.

It seems Samsung is slowly releasing the updates. We might just get these updates for S6 and S6 Edge before 2017 comes.
