http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-note-edge-first-impression-543016/

It looks as if they read the review in this forum and picked up the details from other places and strapped it all together .

Especially the bit:
"there was an astonishing amount of lag present in running Hangouts and Line simultaneously which surprised me".
(These were the exact words of TokyoGuy).
Good to hear they are getting a review unit, which will be reviewed throughly next week.
Can't wait!

Welcome to xda-developers! I don't think I've ever seen a device's forum where this isn't the case. If the same question isn't asked in 4 threads in the first page, people aren't trying hard enough.
Just updated the vendor list again. MASSIVE update with new release dates for pretty much every country that is licensed to use the Leo.
Apparently BTC in Netherlands is the cheapest on earth at only €469.
Also a company called Insight in UK is selling the phone today according to their site...anyone confirm this? I may have to scrape the bottom of my penny jar to order it today
and I updated 1 store in sweden a couple of mins ago
lets take a look then
First REAL video walktrough of HD2
Hi all, borrowing this thread to let you know of this 43 mins of walkthrough. Best i've seen so far:

Yes he not that good at showing stuff but at least he's trying to show everything

how far was your screen separation?

I'm noticing very very slight lift on the left side of the screen from my staples purchased n7. For those that have dealt with screen separation, how noticeable was it? I'm wondering if its starting to go or I'm just noticing it..
I got my shipping notification from google last night. I'm thinking that I'll return the staples n7 and deal with google if the shipped n7 has any problems. They seem to be very good about exchanges whereas staples might be a little easier to deal with a straight return.
Thanks!

Please see my 'grow up' statement. You're not being helpful at all.
Neither are you starting the 87th thread on screen separation.
Maybe 1/5 to 1/3 of a millimeter. Very, very small amount I wouldn't have known most likely had it not been for the great threads on the subject around here. You have to hold it up to the light and look at a specific profile angle to see it.

Thank you for the specific answer, and common decency

Will reviewers usually get this early?

Do reviewers usually get these phones before the release date? What are the chances we will get to see some good reviews of the Note 4/Edge before the rest of us can get our hands on them?
This is going well...

Oh snap...My B...I saw that and given the context honestly thought it applied mostly to technical/support questions. I really did think this was more "general discussion" topic. A million apologies to everyone.

Cover page description error

Hi,
No idea where to post that, i've tried hard to find a "report error" link, but without success...
On the presentation page of the OPO, i read that:
The OnePlus One is the first smartphone developed by new start-up company OnePlus. It was released in April 2014, marketed as the "2014 Flagship Killer". The device sports a 5.5" 1080x1920 JDI display. It's powered by a 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor and 3GB of RAM. Storage comes in at either 16GB or 64GB. Other features include a 13MP camera, 3100mAh battery, dual stereo speakers and StyleSwap replaceable back covers. On the software side, the OnePlus One runs a version of Cyanogenmod with a unique modified user interface.

However, while it's a huge lie from Oneplus, the OPO does not feature any stereo speaker. Just two mono speakers wired on the same mixed channel. Considering that my only two choices where HTC M8 and OPO, for this feature, i was quite disappointed when i got mine :|

What we're saying is that this topic didn't really deserve creating a new thread, there's no way to improve it. If you'd like to give an in-depth review of the device there's a thread for that right here in the General Section that you've posted this thread in.

There is no author listed because these cover pages are generated by one of the admins. You can always report problems with the accuracy of "official" xda posts here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976627
In this case, I will bring it to the attention of the admins and it should get fixed in a few days.

Poll: Do you have a scratched display?

Who has experienced scratches on their new S6 Edge? I know this has been discussed on various threads, but no one has seemed to have actually gathered statistics about how widespread this might be/is.
EDIT: This probably might belong in the Q&A section and not here, if it does a mod can feel free to move it!

Forum poll would be preferred. I don't have a google+ account, and would be easier to just keep everything on here.
Edit: Nevermind see it
Forum poll already exists im this thread. Look at first post - use web view (not working in Tapatalk)
It looks like a third of owners from TMO have a scratched screen. This is a big deal. People may want to wait and buy one at the store to make sure it is scratched free.

Definitely. Hopefully though when orders from AT&T/Verizon/Spring/others start coming in we'll be able to get a bigger picture of this whole situation. Maybe it's just a T-Mobile thing... wishful thinking?

Can any non-TMobile users chime in here? I know all the other major carriers are starting to or have already shipped units out.
i would say this is likely to be skewed results, the people with scratches screens, at least on google+, are prolly more likely to respond to this than ppl without scratched screens. Either way though, 30% on that poll saying scratched screens is a tad disconcerting..

I'd beg to argue the complete opposite - this poll is posted in the general forum, so any S6 Edge owner will come across it. Compared to the g+ poll, where you'd have to search pretty heavily to find it (at least in my case) which would generally imply you have that issue yourself - I don't spend my free time searching the internet for problems with the Flex 2 or Moto x Hopefully when more and more people get their devices we can start to paint a bigger picture about this whole situation.

The poll is critically flawed however.
It presumes those voting actually have an S6 Edge.
The fact anyone can tick yes or no without validating they actually have an S6 Edge makes any result scientifically untenable.
Anything so open to abuse without validation of proof will never be capable of truly being representative, or accurate. In a court of law, your evidence would be inadmissible.
Additionally it assumes that equal amount of people who get good and bad devices would be looking at a thread for pre-scratched screens when history as proved that those people with issues are far more likely to search and find threads than those which do not have issues with their device. It's called the distortion field of truth.
So as interesting as poll results like this are - they sadly will never ever be really indicative of a whole.

You may be right but I find it interesting it has been a steady 70 to 30 ratio since the first 10 votes. I did not expect such a steady result.

I never said these polls are completely accurate and I completely agree with what you're saying. But since there's no easy way to ensure people who are voting actually have the device, I feel like it's better to have some poll going than have nothing at all, because I highly doubt Samsung will have users "take a survey".
And maybe it's just me, but I still seem to have just *a little* faith in humanity - I like to think that people aren't being complete a-holes and ruining the polls just for fun -_-
Sadly one more for the yes choice.
Make sure you guys look at the screen under sunlight. I thought mine was perfectly fine in-store.
My phone, as well as my father's phone, both SM-G925i 64gb one black and one white, purchased in New Zealand, are fine and have no scratches on the screen out of the box.
