i couldn't tell whether that was a review or advertisement

That was pretty crap. Nothing but an excuse to jam as many referral links and adverts on to the page as possible.

Besides that Galaxy Note is quite future-proof in terms of connectivity. Samsung Galaxy Note allows you to embrace 4G LTE with transfer rate up to 21Mbps, should your country has it.

This part is misleading though, in the Note's current form (with 1.4Ghz Exynos Samsung made chip) it does NOT support 4G/LTE. Only when it gets a Qualcomm chip (which is slower than the Exynos will it support 4G/LTE.
Loaded with the Qualcomm Snapdragon chip is likely what will be coming to AT&T and others in the US.
Question is, the Note has been noted to have some lag under certain conditions, so where it is present will that lag increase with the Qualcomm since it is a slower chip? And do you want a slower chip just to gain the ability to use 4G/LTE? One would have to decide for themselves considering of course such factors as...is 4G/LTE even available where they are and is it something they would just HAVE to have considering wifi and 3G in many cases are just fine.
Also, will the upcoming 1.5 Exynos support 4G/LTE and become available anytime soon in the Note.
For me, I want the Exynos in my Note, so within the next few weeks (barring some earth shattering revelation regarding a new, unlocked version I might have to wait a month for) it will be mine, then you all can tell me how to grow roots and do mods and such things.
Now that these phones have reached such heights of technology (not to mention...price) they should really make it like a computer where (at least for awhile) we can purchase and install ourselves a new CPU but I won't hold my breath.

Ordered mine this morning the white one on ipmart
I hardly decide between the nexus or the note and the note wins
With ICS it would be awesome
Hope I can put my hands on it next week

Congratulations! And don't worry you WILL get some ice cream, then an already great device will be even better!!!

Wondering what the OPs relationship is to the material he linked to... That 'review' is rubbish, just an advertorial really. I will vouch for my review over that one in a heartbeat!

Yes. You are right. I have said this before in one of your videos & I will say it again... Your review has got to be the most honest, detailed & comprehensive report on this phone anywhere on the Internet.

Hell, NZ's review may be the best review about any phone on the Internet. Really stellar stuff and I am looking forward to his take on the Galaxy Nexus.
And speaking of NZ, that was one hell of a cricket win today.

I will vote for yours too! It's simply the best & complete phone review I have read in the last 5-6 years... The time since I actually read phone reviews

Another vote for NZ's review. It kicks ass over any other review of any other thing anywhere

Like all the Note's before?! October?

I dont know I am not too excited for this time? Probably cz I am not expecting too many surprises. Lets see.
Sent from the New S Pen

I'm not excited at all for this new version. We've seen what new Samsung has to offer on the S4.
Honestly, I use to upgrade like every year to a new phone, but my Note 2 is still so super cool and useful (and still powerful), that I don't think I'll upgrade until next year...
Nonetheless, all the best to the compulsive buyers and Note-New-Commers

If you want this thread to survive until the release conference, may want to keep it on track with GN3 info rather than go off track to Other Devices.

Video's there. It was a yahoo video after a 31 second commercial.
Sohebq, you may need to message a moderator if you want them to focus all those other new threads to this one.
Like you, I think the forum works better if there's not 12 threads about the same thing popping up.
Good idea on this thread sir!

The rumor mill can finally stop. The N3 is in the video posted above. Here's some caps. The reviewer said it's thinner, lighter, and smaller than the N2 even though it has a 5.7" display. I love the floating apps. They've been in the Note 10.1 since it launched while all other Notes have the same set up as the N2. You can do a lot more with floating apps than you can with two set windows. Now all that's left is to learn what the new features are.

Looks pretty cool to me.

seems the event is delayed

Reviews

Post some reviews in this thread. Here is one that just came out on Engadget:
http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/01/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-review-2014-edition/

im enjoying reading this. good find.
EDIT: wasn't expecting the king of laggyness that they experienced with the 8core. regardless of it can only run 4 at a time, i'd expect it to run a lot more smoothly than they said it did. overall the S-pen is still the reason why the Note wins, if the other tablets got that it might be a completely different story.

Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Review
My review posted today at:
funtechreviews.wordpress.com

The reviews I read stated it was not the device itself, but apparently one specific app that is part of stock and featured on the device. Some kind of photo app album thingy.

Nice summary review. The 32GB iPad and 32GB Sammy are the same price, but the sd slot gives the Sammy the edge.
Odd how there are various opinions of "lag" on the 2014. Some review report it throughout use, and so only with a stock photo app.

Mate 7 Reviews Thread

Phonearena

http://www.vmall.com/product/1372.html

Unboxing
http://www.onlinenewsvideo.net/huawei-ascend-mate-7-unboxing-and-initial-setup_940b8a516.html

So, I see this post today:
http://www.cn-c114.net/578/a858488.html
It was a little frustrating in that the article didn't list the site where the device is being sold through. If anyone knows, update this post, please.
Oh, and this was part the article outlining the perks of the higher end model:
"The high-end version of Mate7 is of amber golden and adopts a combination of 3G RAM and 32G ROM, it is also equipped with the exclusive Huawei gold membership privilege services card, the value-added services include exclusive service hotline, a boot gift bag of Huawei mobile phone application market, free of charge to use a 160G online storage in 2 years, this phone was formally on sale in Huawei mall on September 12th."

Found these two as I was browsing. The first is an actual preview, the second is just a comparison between AM7 and iPhone 6 plus.

http://www.gforgames.com/gadgets/huawei-ascend-mate-7-vs-iphone-6-plus-pics-45102/

Are they even comparable?

I don't get why the press is comparing the iPhone 6 and the Huawei devices. I know, the i(insertnamehereproducttheyreallthesame) are what the fanbois are buying, but the two aren't even in the same category. I just don't get the comparison.
thank you for posting the comparison though, interesting to read nonetheless.

It does serve one purpose. To show how horribly designed the iPhone 6 'Plus' is. Look at those ridiculous top and bottom bezels. You would think that since Apple prides itself on having 'premium' designs for their products, they would have figured out a way to make a 5.5" phone smaller than a 6" phone. Hell, even the Note 3/4 is smaller than the iPhone 6 Plus, and they both have larger screens.
But what can you do, right. The lines will be around the block for it. The revolution has begun.

This one is kinda weak...
Not a very thorough review by any standards, but still, it highlights the very decent performance of the AM7. The pic at the top of the article doesn't match the AM7 though. I guess they just used a stock Huawei pic.

I am kinda pissed that there aren't any decent video reviews in English. There are a ton in Italian and Russian. I guess we'll have to wait until October when the Mate 7 is officially released.

Android Headline
Not a review, just first impressions and an unboxing video (in English, thank God). Never seen this site before.

It's the same review site, but I don't think that video was made until at least a week after the written review was posted. The date on the written review is the 12th (the same date it was posted here in this thread), and the video review wasn't posted until the 18th. But I may be wrong.

These guys have had the device for 3 weeks.... since IFA

Recombu
Found another one, this time from Recombu (never heard of it before). But once again, seems like the Mate 7 is getting decent reviews.
http://recombu.com/mobile/reviews/huawei/ascend-mate-7/#Our_Review

This is only an initial review, but it confirms that the phone gets LTE on T-mobile. Great news.
http://www.zdnet.com/huawei-ascend-...inum-design-and-solid-performance-7000034132/

This isn't related to the AM7, but it is pretty good advice as to why you might want to think about waiting before getting the first production releases available:

http://www.gizmochina.com/2014/09/27/huawei-mate7-vs-iphone5s-camera-shot-comparison/
This might be a deal breaker, as I use my note 3 which is not great but good enough for instagram etc... this noise is pretty bad though. Probably software related but how long for an update?

One more from Android Central.
http://www.androidcentral.com/huawei-ascend-mate-7-review

Here's the final review from Android Headlines.
http://www.androidheadlines.com/2014/10/review-huawei-ascend-mate-7.html
In it, he reiterates that the Ascend Mate 7 gets LTE on T-mobile. Unfortunately, he says nothing about speeds, but when I get home I'll ask him in the comments.

A slew of Note Edge videos on Youtube from user "RICKY The Android Guy"

I have a very strong dislike for my Lg G3, so I am waiting somewhat patiently to purchase the incredible looking Edge.
With nothing else to do I use the G3 to look for videos for it's replacement. I found these informative.

These were very helpful. They confirmed my interest in this particular phone. I will incorporate all these tips come next friday the 14th:good:

Watching these videos pissed me off because I was soooo sold on the Nexus 6 and now I'm soooooooooooo undecided on which one to buy. I may end up selling my note 3 just to have both.......hmmm.........decisions, decisions!

Why would you need Note 3 once you get Edge? It same as Note 4 and more.

I like to keep a secondary device around............just in case.

me too
however the reviews i read still talk about lag appearing at certain times and tbh if im going to pay a premium price for a piece of hardware, i dont expect stuff like that esp with the specs... and no i dont want to have to go through the process of rooting etc....shame tho cos i really like the looks of it..

What's the best cost effective way to move over to the edge after getting a g3 on release day? Geek insurance help in any way in replacing towards a different phone? The g3 auxiliary output problem and small remote control sensor is driving me insane
