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
I haven't seen anything in the T-Mobile Forums on this issue but if anyone is concerned about how the two version compare real world scenario wise here is a good video displaying the differences. Benchmarks aren't everything.

The internet is a strange place. Would it be too much to ask for you to elaborate on that? In the limited amount of time he had I thought he covered just about everything that I wanted to know about.

+1 :good:
my thoughts exactly...well, yours is worded better with absolutely no profanity in sight unlike mine would've been. except i don't care what that user thinks.
Better battery life. twice the RAM, cheaper for US buyers, same speed and performance, has LTE. Only reason you would want to pick the international version is for the better GPU, if you play a lot of 3D games on your phone that is (I leave that to my playstation and big screen TV). It'll also get faster updates, but for those who care about updating, most will have already flashed a third party rom. Oh, and benchmark numbers. Very few and specific benefits if you ask me. You can unlock the AT&T or T-mobile phones with a cheap unlock code from eBay, or probably for free if that unlock app carries over to the US versions.

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.
This is for those that were nervous about the performance he is actual video on the note with a review look good!

I feel pretty good about that review... as discussed in one of the other forums on here... it "appears" as though the lagginess is in the Samsung apps that I will probably not take advantage of anyway. That's not to say that it should perform well out of the gate, but honest, if it only pertains to an application for now, I'm okay with that...
That's my .02 cents..
keep in mind this is the snapdragon version
Wait a second, does the tablet he review have the quad-core 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC? If so it seems like it's zippy and fast unlike the previous non-video reviews with the exynos processor. I thought the qualcomm was only available for the LTE edition.

So he says in the video but are they actually sending out the LTE version to the press/testers?

I believe the reviewer is mistaken. This is the Wifi version which only comes in the Octa Core configuration. This is definitely not the LTE version because you'll notice that there is no SIM card slot mentioned in the video at all. The full specs are displayed on the Phone Arena website below.
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-GALAXY-Note-10.1-2014-Edition_id8139/fullspecs
Pretty sure its the Octa version and the reviewer is just clueless. Even in their written review they don't mention a sim slot.
He got the specs completely wrong this is the Exynos version. The best part about the video is the beginning when he's on screen and moving the tablet around it looks very responsive! Lol
I agree that it is probably the Exynos and they are mistaken, but the link you posted with the specs from phonearena says it is a 2.3 ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800.

Nice find with the SIM card slot missing in the video. I think there is some confusion considering it's coming out with two different CPUs. Just from reading about tablets for a while I can say there are inaccuracies all over the place all the time until the unit has been out for a while. The HP slatebook X2 had inaccuracies all over the place for example.
Thanks OP for posting the video it was very informative and performance looked really good to me! :good:

Good catch on that, it seemed pretty solid to me, and the "lagginess" that is being commented on by other reviewers, well perhaps I am not seeing it or its not as big of a concern to me. I was on teetering against it but this video review put me back on getting it.

I don not understand why Samsung is pushing the Exynos on the WiFi version when we would benefit from it being one consistent model.
Why is there no forum on XDA for Huawei Honor Note 8?! That phablet is 10x better than Honor 8 mid-ranger...

I didn't know that, and didn't want to know that, because I don't care about mid-range phones with small screens. If you want to ask about another phone, be that V8 or something else - post your own question as a separate thread. There is no need to hijack this thread to talk about another device, my thread was not meant for.
Your thread shouldn't even be here, this is the Honor 8 Flagship forum.

Honor 8 is not "flagship", from any angle you look at it. It is classified as a mid-ranger on most tech blogs out there, and rightfully so. It doesnt crack the top 10 phones in any specs category. Since Huawei Honor Note 8 forum does not exist as of the moment of writing - I think it's reasonably appropriate to post a question about it here. If moderators decide later on it does not belong - it could be moved to Honor Note 8 forum, once created.

If anyone NEEDS to request a forum, posting in another device forum is technically not the best idea. All questions for new devices...whether "flagship" or not, should be directed here: Click Me
Let move along.

It's not about specs, it's about price....300$ to 500$ is a mid-ranger, and any thing that exceedes 600$ is a flagship.

That is literally, the most ridiculous, outrageous and lunatic assertion I've heard anyone make on XDA in the past decade. I wouldn't even know where to begin to tell you how very very very very wrong you are!
If you don't get a meaning of "flagship device" - go read some Wikipedia or dictionary definition, I guess.
According to your logic, most real high end devices from a country like China, for example LeEco phones, which have 4-6GB RAM, latest Snapdragon chip (820 or 821), or phones from Xiaomi with similar specs, which never cost $600 or more for reasons, obvious to everyone but you, are mid-rangers? And ****ty devices with 5 year old specs, with either Georgio Armani logo on them, or made out of gold, or covered in 38 carats of diamonds, which cost anywhere from 10 grand to 150k, are flagships?!
Wow... Don't embarrass yourself in public, do some reading and self-education, learn about different economies, price inflations, developing world markets, etc. before making comments like that. Phone price has literally ZERO impact in determining, whether the device is flagship or not. It is true, that in many markets the opposite is correct - device, which is a flagship, is priced higher, than other devices from the same region. However, there is absolutely no connection/correlation whatsoever in the opposite direction - device's price does NOT have any impact on it's classification as high-end, low-end, mir-ranger or a flagship device.

hey friend, let them talk.
I just received my Huawei Honor Note 8 and it doesn't feel like a flagship. It feels more like a flagship - RAPER. My Xiaomi Note Pro looks like a potato next to it. :laugh:
PS: I feel like insulting all other phone users around me when using this phone. It's just superb in almost every way.

And it costs half the price of other flagships, too... 5.3 million pre-orders can't be wrong - people know what they're investing in. Kirin955 chip is in the top 3 of all benchmark categories amongst all latest chips, and this is the only device in the world with 2k screen, which is bigger than 6.5". 4500mAh battery doesn't hurt either - you will find such battery size in less than a handful of devices worldwide.

Congrats, and that's an excellent question! To answer it, hopefully admins here will create a forum for this phone, where devs and users could post verified rooting method. This article offers a rooting method, but it's unverified by anyone I know or XDA, so if you wanna try it - do it at your own risk and report the results back here.
Since this is related to the phone in topic...
Question: are these the same phone?

http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_honor_note_8-8231.php
The differences from the one in gsmarena are the colors, front camera, and 4400mAh battery.
Also, can somebody upload somewhere photos taken by their own Huawei Honor Note 8's camera? Unmodified, straight from the camera, with EXIF please. Hopefully with variations like bright scene, dark scene, etc.
Thank you very much.
KingRoot doesn't work as not enough requests for root yet on this model.
An issue I am having if anyone can help is with Play Store. When installing a large application, PS always closes before its finished downloading. Smaller ones are fine. I've disabled the power saving options for PS etc.. Its a weird one and I don't have this problem with my other Huawei.
