I'd say go with the dark one, the white looks too cheap in my opinion.

I have the charcoal black one. Looks great.

Your opinion. I have the white and the white version looks clean, fresh, and not stale charcoal. But everyone likes what they like.

cheezy in da house!!
Get one of these things already, would ya?:cyclops::cyclops:

I picked up a white Note 4 yesterday. I think it looks classy not cheap like the white iPhone 6. I'm tired of black and white phones though. I like the blue Nexus 6. I also was happy with my G3 but felt the need for Jump. LoL

you are one sick puppy...:cyclops::cyclops: I KNEW you would get one..
I got a white one too; It never matters what color you get, if you put a case on these things..
Actually, if you resell your phone, white always brings more $$$; but with Jump, it doesnt matter..

I said I was going to get it and maybe return it for a Nexus 6 in two weeks. It will cost a 50 bucks restocking fee though. Lol. I'll have to see but like you I'm liking the Note 4 more then the G3. Note 4 screen pops more and just feels like a well made phone. Not saying the G3 feels bad.

did you pawn off your G3 on your wife, or return it?
I predict you will keep the Note 4; its the finest "feeling" phone I can remember owning, maybe even better than my htc one Maxx that also felt fantastic in your hand..

Yea wife has my G3. I said I need to flash a Rom for ya and she replied back saying no honey that will mess up my phone. Lmao.
I did have some issue last night with my N4. Not sure if it was because of the bar I was in or what. Or if it's a sim card issue or reception issue. Seems ok now. I downloaded a rom for the wife and it ate up her 1GB data quick so I couldn't compare the two phones. Lol

a bunch of people in florida/georgia were having signal and reception issues for the last week or two, but I dont know about ohio..
there are 5 or 6 nice roms for the note 4 already; I can't imagine how many there will be once more dev's grab this thing...

I am impress with the N4. I have black blackground on my phone bc if is black, then no lights its used hence save battery. I think the pixel is not turn on. Its really amazing. Its not dark grey.

LoL

BAD ASS NOTE 4

I was also really torn on the color. My previous two phones were a white GS3 and a white Note3, and I loved them, but when I saw the Note4 white and black side by side, the black just looks better. The back feels a little "softer" too. Not sure why. I think you'll be happy with either, as they're both sexy.

I played with one at the tmobile store yesterday for the first time and i actually loved it too. Definitely gonna be jumping when i have the money for the tax
I really hope the camera focuses as good as my g3s though

Update and root. Also came from the g3. It was a great device, like the feel of it and I miss the rear buttons and tap to wake. However, I like new toys and considering I had a jump to use I figured why not? It's funny seeing all the same users from when I had the tmo s4. I figure this phone will get me thru till the g4 releases. Lol

Updated rooted and flashed custom ROM

Got My Hands on Galaxy S 2 and the New Tab. pics inside with mini review.

First of all excuse My English. its far from perfect.
So yeah. my friend works for Samsung. and i got my hands on the Galaxy S 2 and the new Tab.
i will post pics of the Tab later. kinda busy @ work " and honestly dont care about the Tab at all. i found the ipad 2 is better for me but thats just me
back to the Galaxy S2.
in short. its light. very light. the iphone 4 is heavier.
the device has edges. so its not smooth as say nexus S.
in terms of software, i didnt find any slowdowns or lag. which is a very good thing. because the Atrix used to lag alot even though its a dual core phone too " wtf was up with that ?? "
the Screen. ok.. its same as super amoled. i didnt notice anything different in terms of colors and blacks. HOWEVER. i can no longer see the pixels like Nexus S and Galaxy S screens. its very hard to notice now. sure its no iphone 4. but its damn good. think of as clear as super LCD screen. but with Super Amoled colors. i say its best of both words.
the sound was very high. very clear.
again this phone is so light at one point i really thought its a toy. i am not sure many people like that. its as heavy as galaxy S 1.
personally i like the phone a little heavier " say desire HD or iphone 4 type of heavy " ., it kinda makes the phone more expensive. " but thats just me "
oh and for the people who are wondering, there is NO cracky noise when you hold the phone tight. no sqeeky sound whatsever, its firm . which is a good thing.
i just REALLY didnt like the back of the phone. the plastic look of it is cheap. but on front ? its amazing.
so smooth and when its off. it makes you feel the whole front is a screen " its not ofcourse "
as for the Tab. honeycomb in it. didnt like it much. the theme was all black and blue. was very sweet. the way menus move was nice. laggy a little i dont know why. specially when i opened gallary. it has a nice interface but thats about it.
Gd Review, very usefull info.
Thank You
your welcome
Thanks for the great review. Say we drop the phone by mistake..u think it will cause a considerable amount/permanent damage to the phone in itself..since the back esp. is made out of plastic?
Overall, are u happy with the build quality?
Nice info etc - but that is not a retail model! Apparently the back has changed on the retail model, making it ever so slightly heavier too....

yes. if you drop the phone, it will get damaged. think of it as galaxy S 1 really. the problem is if you drop it in the edges, thats where it will suffer the most. that being said. i dont think if you drop it like 2 meters high on a carpet will damage anything. but on the floor or the street? 1 meter and the phone is a goner.
as for the build quality. not really. on the front. yes its very beauitiful. the way the screen is presented and how its smooth with almost no edges on the side " the screen it self is very close to the edge. "
but the back is just horrible ugly thing. i am slapping this phone with a nice non see throu cover as soon as i get my hands on one. because its not an eye candy for sure.

the way the phone is designed. there is no way to get a heavier back cover.
the cover it self is really very stupid. its very cheap. makes you wonder what the hell samsung was thinking when they decided to put that cover.
you have to know that the back cover isnt something like nexus S or Galaxy S where it takes the whole back of the phone.
the back cover is just a big square box that you pretty much just slap it to the back of the phone.
say for example if you drop the Nexus S or galaxy S and the back cover got damaged, all you do is change the back and your good to go like a brand new.
on the galaxy S 2 if you drop the phone on the edges, and you want to replace the damaged part. you have to take off the whole phone apart. " think of it as motorolla droid " which i think is a big -ve thing IMHO
actually you have the NON retail unit.
in the retail unit the phone back case is DIFFERENT.
CASE CLOSED.
I hope its not too light...Im imagining a very breezy day and the phone is not held tightly in the hand..and because of its low weight the phone falls from the hand.. lol I really want this phone!

I dont think i said they are a retail unit. I was posting my review on the build that the company is showing to carriers so they can partnership with them.
The phone it self was super fast regardless how it looks or what i think of it.
Also for the gamers here like me. This phone is your dream come true for the emulators. The n64 was super smooth and fine with almost all games i played ( zelda. Mario 64. Mario kart. Golden eye was amazing)
it can play super smash bros? the 1 with zelda kirby mario and etc?
god I missed that game..
Screen and touchpad isnt as close i want- look at iphone.

yes. but not as smooth as 60fps. i think more about 30 fps. it was playable.
i also tried killer instect. that game wasnt playable at all on nexus S. when the phone was over clocked to 1.5, it was playable but with laggy. on the Galaxy S2 the lag way less than than the over clocked 1.5. which is amazing really.
however. i dont think the phone has the power to play Dream cast emulators tho.
now when it comes to the playstation emulator. was super smooth and super nice. some games the sound wasnt very synced. so i put the option in the video settings to skip frames to the max " 10 " and it played so smooth i felt like i am holding a PSP with me lol "
nice device really.

as i agree, the screen is more closer to the edges on the iphone.
like i said, as hardware design. the galaxy S2 isnt really a loooker. its no Arc for example or Nexus S. its a blocky phone that has 4 years old look back. and honestly it look cheap.
under the hood. its a beast. i honestly think people should cover the phone. specially in the back. its ugly
HEY
dont forget you had a non retail unit
maybe a retail unit , which also has 1.2ghz processor, could run 60 FPS n64 emulator

every thing is possible. i am just posting my feedback on what i had in my hand. and specs wise. i am impressed. this is hands down the :
- fastest android phone i ever used " including Atrix "
- Best Screen for an android device " including Atrix/Nexus S " but not the iphone screen " wont go on Vs here between the 2 screens as its personal taste and i like the iphone 4 screen more "
- Gaming heaven for all emulator fans. i still remember trying to play N64 " Mario 64 " on my iphone 4 and the that **** couldnt run @ 10 fps even though its almost the same GPU/CPU as Nexus S but what gives. hell they were missing buttons too " and couldnt change that "
all in all. this is one great device.
however. i think it needs voodoo color fix. as the screen had yellowish white. like someone pissed on the screen. this issue happened on both galaxy S and NExus S. voodoo will fix it. but ofcourse it has to be rooted/unlocked boot loader as well.
odd.. the samoled+ is supposed to be WAY better than iphone4..
then again, idc, its iphone 4 XD
I love toying around with my phone.. not being stuck on same crap.. even jailbreak doesnt help that much..
Well I had an Xperia Arc for two weeks and the back cover was even cheaper than my Galaxy S, it has cracky noise when you hold the phone normally and that looked cheap as hell. The sharp edges were un-ergonomic , the back button wasn't reachable easily... I got rid of it very quickly
And for the design it's a matter of taste, for me the GSII is definitely a looker and that's one of its strenghs and the iPhone 4 is the one that have a 5years old design (just look at the difference between the first gen...)
but thanks for the litle review anyway
Agree on the looks, i think that the SGS2 is far more beautiful than both HTCs phones and the Iphone.. I find HTC designs a bit dull and not that interesting.
Although i really liked the old backcover on the SGS2, which had that silvershine pattern opposed to the new plain black one. But i might get a case for it so it won't matter all that much.

funny, the only reason i replacing htc inspire (desire hd) with galaxy S2 cus it' freaking heavy, like a brick!
i like to surf internet in bed, after holding inspire (desire hd) for 15 minutes, your hand will get sore!
(You don't got retail model - no Samsung Logo so probably another back cover(as we saw, retail version got another back cover). You don't have any photo of your back cover btw.)

I love that phone so badly!!!
aaarrggghhhh. But a 4.65 inch 720P Nexus 4 seems to be a dream...
let see!!
I tried to say goodbye once. But I just couldn't do it, ended up selling the g2x.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Really like Nexus one, I think it is still one of the best designed Android phone.
nexus one
+ WORKING MULTI-TOUCH SCREEN
+ a slide-out qwerty keyboard
+ 4.0" rather than 3.7" screen
+ more ROM space and RAM and improved CPU and GPU
+ dedicated camera button
+ dedicated call and end buttons (no idea why phones no longer use these)
until this phone comes out, im sticking with my n1
I made ​​it to my there to say goodbye
i still have my nexus one and i want to upgrade to the galaxy nexus. but to be honest i am quite sad because i do not want to leave my phone that has so much great memories in it same reason i did not buy any other phone till now
My NExus one died yesterday night, it fell on its screen and hit the corner of a wooden desk, it was such a hard fall that the screen shattered from the inside and now its just black.
I was literally this close to crying for it, and if i wasn't a grown man, i wouldve shamelessly wept over it!
The touch screen still works perfect, but its just black screen
Guess I'll get a samsung galaxy S2, I liked the galaxy nexus, but its pretty much the same, only the s2 has a micro sd and 8 mp over the galaxy nexus
And with cyanogen, am sure we'll be seeing the ICS ported out reaaallllyyy soon
You're not the only one, I dropped my Nexus about a 5 min walk from house yesterday and now I have spiderglass, touch screen still works though.
Was thinking about the Galaxy Nexus also but it wasn't what I thought it would be so I am gonna go with a SGS2 also.
Its a curse how many of us most of broke our phones on the Nexus Galaxy launch day.
My thoughts exactly!
It's just that having the being obsoleted hardware buttons would probably suck especially if it's a new phone. Thoughts?

Well, actually you are keep both of them, one for day-use in front of the public, the other one for bed time.
Sold my N1 as well. Damn fine phone, but I got a good deal on a Nexus S. I decided to jump while I could get a decent sale price on the N1. There are some things I do miss like that goofy trackball. You get used to LED notifications and having a physical button for pictures.
LED notifications are awesome...
Black screen
I have a glass shattered N1 but its just not powering on , when you guys say "touch screen works , but black screen " means does it vibrate and power on or nothing happens when you power it on ....
I wish I never sold my N1.. people are telling me it's worth quite a buck even now!!!
I miss the trackball, and the LED glowing different colours lol
And the AMOLED screen! (awesome for it's time, and although Samsung still looks after us there, I have a HTC Desire HD with crappy LCD now)
Although I heard that later N1s came with a SuperLCD instead of AMOLED, following the shortage loooool
Main reason I sold it was because it only gave 128MB of app memory (as opposed to Desire HD's over 1GB, and newer phones slightly more). Even with Apps2SD (to move the majority of app data to SD card), it still wasn't enough for the hundreds of apps I wanted. Oh well..
Such a great phone. I dont want to think about the day ill have to part with it.
Anybody else trying to hold out for the Nexus 4?
Hang in there! We got Ice Cream Sandwich to squeeze some more life out of our N1s!
I'm going to at least get my hands sticky with ICS on the N1 before making any big decisions.
Lol, I have tried to replace the Nexus one two days back with the Motorola RAZR but I could not do it. Though as I could not return it and had to exchange it I got the Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE and this seems to be a quite persuasive phone. The only problem I have ever had with the Nexus one is the calls voice quality on my N1 handset. I am more convinced its my handset not every N1 as some of my friends claimed a great quality voice calls on theirs, but fixing that will be messy . Though no the N1 is not going to away, its just will be my secondary phone for my personal phone . Maybe you can call it he is upgraded .

is this phone too good?

I have been using my nexus 4 on at&t's network for a little over a month now and I cannot find one downfall of this phone... I applied a Dbrand black leather sticker on the back glass and that just made the phone feel more professional.. almost like a blackberry 9900. (but more functional) My question is, has anyone found a phone that can shake a stick at the nexus 4 as far as fit and function. I have a Htc One and i am thinking of returning it because I see myself using the nexus 4 and leaving the one at home more often then not.

I'm a fan of the N4 but you have to be realistic. There are plenty of phones now which can easily be considered better than it (e.g. HTC One, S4, LG OG Pro, Xperia Z) and while none of them are anywhere near as good a deal as the N4, most are better phones for the majority. Only a few people actually care about updates outside of XDA and don't really know how awesome stock Android is compared to other UIs.

Yes it's too good
I wasn't really impressed with the S4 or the HTC one tbh. Overpriced for basically the same specs you get with the N4. Samsung phones are loaded with bloat now,and feel like a hollow plastic toy. You can hardly tell its android anymore with the TW bloat interface. Yea the HTC one has a nice build quality, but is it really worth shelling out almost 700$ for? I don't think so. I will never buy another non nexus device again. (All personal opinion) I am extremely happy with my N4. I haven't had 1 single issue with it. I get 2.5 days of heavy use and about 5 hours screen on time with my ROM kernel combo. And for 350$ you cant beat it.
Keep the Nexus, return the One.

Yea don't get me wrong, it is a really nice phone. The screen is large and vibrant. The specs are great. I just think its too large, by the time you get a case on it, its even bigger. It would drive me nuts in my pocket.

Just got my nexus 6

Just got a nexus 6 off craigslist for retail.... Phone is huge but fits comfortable in the hand. Using NFC to automatically download all my apps and and settings was seamless. Used my note 4 as that is the phone I have been using this week. Willing to ask any questions and post pics.
How does the screen compare to the Note 4?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Does it seem snappier than the Nexus 5 and Note 4?
Does the trim around the sides look purple in person?
Congrats on getting it!
The screen on the note is a little sharper... It is so Much snappier then the note 4. I have an at&t note 4 and it is so sluggish even just using hangouts is a choir. I'm hoping they fix it with an update Samsung needs to boggle down touchwiz and change the ui so out dated.
Yes typed in nexus 6 in craigslist someone had a midnight blue posted for 649 I responded and one meet up at Starbucks later I have a nexus 6. The metal on the sides are definitely blue

Why would someone sell it at the list price, when he can get so much more for it??
She said she got it free from google and the phone was too big for her. I can only assume she didn't really know what the resell value is since it isn't out yet and she can't compare. She literally charged me just 649 gave me one dollar back. She rocked!
Nice! Please post some more pictures though.
Here's what I'm wondering:
- Is there any noticeable lag especially when opening apps, taking shots with the camera and going through the overview (recent apps)?
- How do the camera and display compare to the Note 4? Can you do some side-by-side pics comparing the two devices?
- Is the back of the phone "rubbery" (like the black Nexus 5) or "slippery" (like older Samsung phones)?
- Any issues while you've had it?
awesome man,
does it have slimport support?
trim color purplish or metal?
sot?
Does the front facing camera lag and stutter, especially in lowlight, like on the Moto X 2014?
If you had a Nexus 5 (new) in hand, would you pay the $700+ for a Nexus 6 or would you hold onto the Nexus 5 for a while longer?

Hmmm weird how she would get it free from Google. Did it come with everything or just the phone? Cause the cable I see attached to the phone in your initial post is white, I thought it was black from reviews I've seen. I can almost bet she works for a certain carrier and she took it lol.
Awesome man. Waiting for more feedback on daily usage from you like battery life, camera etc.

So far I'm getting use to the size. This thing is huge. It's really fast but does show some lag when you open the camera and ambient doesn't work all the time. As far as if would I rather have my nexus 5 No I would choose the 6 over the 5 just because of the battery alone. Phone does not feel slippery at all. Metal trim is definitely blue when looking at it in person.

How bright is the screen in daylight outdoors.
How bad is the battery life compared to your note 4
Do you find it any faster than say, a nexus 5?
Does it still feel premium in hand than a note 4?
Anandtech reported slow Nand performance than nexus 5 and a worse lowlight camera performance than nexus 5. Even Joshua from the Verge said the n6 camera: "Its laughably bad"
Can you confirm any of this?
Thanks

well I finally got it!! and I'm sooo well how should I put this ?

Ok using it now and I think the Note 7 camera is way better..
The build quality is something I'm not use too.
So now that I got that out the way. WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE THIS PHONE BETTER!! It all starts with root..
What do you mean by your comment regarding build quality? Good or bad? I held the store model the other day, it appeared well made, but I didn't examine it for too long.

I'm saying I'm use to a heavy device of glass like the note 7. It was built so much better and this screen is so blueish and gray screen they drop the ball with this display such as oled was needed to complete this device ..

I'm with him. Return the phone if you don't like it.
You can't compare Samsung screens to LG screens because they are completely different displays.

I'll second my love for the Note 7 but until the next Sammy comes out (assuming it'll make up for the N7) I'll enjoy the V20. Sure on many levels it isn't the same as the Note 7 but it's the next best thing in my opinion.

I still say LG should put a home button right at the bottom bezel, perfect location imo.
Yes they should. A physical home button. No on screen buttons.

I don't expect this device to be as good as a note 7. But it's gonna have to do for the next best Sammy phone to drop. I don't want a regular S7. An s7 edge is OK but I want something better. Just sold my one plus 3 today and I was enjoying that phone. I get my V20 tomorrow so I figured I'd get rid of it. The ZTE axon 7 looks good too. Then again it's a ZTE lol. Time will tell if the V20 makes it. Hoping it does as I got it for 575 lol

I have been a long time Samsung user, I have had every Note since the Note3 and the Note7 just didn't impress me much. Build quality was great but I really didn't like the edge screen. I had the S7 Edge too and while the Note7 edge screen was better, I still prefer a flat screen. The Note7 also felt too skinny and tall. I just wasn't that upset about returning it.
So far I am really liking the V20, maybe I just needed a change. The V20 has many things going for it so to me it is just a different phone, NOT saying it is in any way a less phone than the Samsung's. Having had the Note7 and now the V20, if I had the choice between the two right now, I would choose the V20.

Well I also said in the OP that there are some dislikes and yes I can return it but there are no deal breakers.. See if you see in the OP I said what can we do to make this phone better ..
I actually like the phone . Maybe an update to fix the lag of camera. If and when we get root a lot of my issues could be resolved . just wanted to see if any one else had any issues coming from another device ..but yes lets make this phone a little better..

UGH camera lag really on a phone of these specs?? How bad is it? That's been my biggest gripe about my Note 4 other than it being ATT. Do you think its just a software issue?? How bad is it?
I'm intrigued by this camera lag. What part of the process is the lag being seen. The unit I played with in an AT&T store didn't seem to have any. I'll be disappointed if there's a difference in carrier models in this regard.
I don't have any camera lag, Im coming from a 6p and Note 7

lol the S7 is pretty much identical to the Note 7, and i've been bored of the S7 and it's stuttery goodness for months now. i'm excited for the V20. and it's going to be a nice change of pace having an LCD screen again; the amoled on my S7 sucks. color shift from top to bottom and it's just annoying. AMOLED is nice, but QC sucks.
