Hi,
I can't make up my mind about buying the note 5 or edge+, i wanted the edge+ design with the s-pen but samsung tried to reach a larger audience and as you know it wasn't an option. Do anyone know a way to get the the s-pen features on the edge+?

It will probably only happen with root if anything.
One feature I worried that the edge plus wouldn't have was a native way to annotate screenshots such as with the note line. I was really happy to learn that when you edit an image, there is a draw function at the ready!

After S6 Edge announcement and watching videos I am too much confused between Note 4, Note 4 Edge and S6 Edge.
What i like about Note 4 is 5.7" Screen and clearity of camera, Multitasking While in note Edge i like the Edge features so I was confused in between this two devices but after S6 Edge announcement i am going crazy as i am not able to decide which should i buy. I like the S6 Edge features like People Edge Contacts, Dual Edge, It's look and Notification animation it's very cool but it also have some demerits like Non removable Battery, Non Expandable Memory, No proper usage of Dual Edge Screen because of small 5.1 inch screen. So plz help me to decide which one to nuy. If you were in my position then what you would have buy ???.
I want to buy anyone from the above devices so i can start making My Previously made Black Metallic Theme for my New Device...

I'd wait for the Note 5 release. That way you'll get the new s6 features as well as the big display with the curve on the edges.
For this moment note4 with Exynos. May be note 5 at the end of the year. Note edge and s6 edge are very dificult to protect.
Get the note 4. Really cannot go wrong with this phone even now, with the sterling battery life and that screen. Lollipop will show up eventually and it will only enhance the note. Sure enough s6 looks good, but its a first generation product where i am concerned and a bit of a hail mary. It's the first time they have gone all in with their own processors and lack of expansible storage and removable batteries, eschewing that for a wonderful design.
The note 4 has both of the above, sterling build quality, the current best screen on the market ( i got both the nexus 6 and 6 plus and believe me only iphone even comes close in fidelty), all around great shooter and wonderful battery life.
As much as i admire the s6, i think its one product to sit out until they get it better next year. Golden rule... never buy a first gen product.

If you must absolutely get a samsung device, get the S6 edge.
There is currently little-to-no support for the Note4
How do you define support? I'm never going to catch up with all the threads in this forum for the T-Mobile one alone, much less Note 4 in general. There's certainly development happening.
----
I was going between the Note 4 and Note Edge and while I was realllllllly hoping the Edge would come down a bit in price, it's clear that T-Mobile has a high opinion of its flagship and isn't coming down any time soon. I sprung for the Note 4.
I hadn't even heard of the S6 or S6 Edge until after the 4 had arrived at my door. Now that I have, I see they don't have an S-pen.
It's not my whole existence but I do send enough text from my phone that I really do benefit from a thick, heavy, slide-out keyboard. I'm not one to carry a bluetooth KB around either, so I really wanted a phone with an integral hardware KB. Nobody makes a decent one any more: the MyTouch 4G Slide was better specced than the current LG slider they offer, and coming off of that phone, I wasn't about to pay for the LG and get worse hardware, and none of the other carriers offered attractive options.
I can write about as fast as I was able to type on a phone keyboard, so I decided the next best option was a pen. The Note 3 would have been more affordable, but still more than double what we paid for my MyTouch 4G Slide, so considering the cost, I decided to go all in and get the better hardware of the Note 4. Again, wanted the Edge, but the additional nearly-$150-or-so was a major turn-off for nearly identical hardware.
Aside from stock twitch-whiz interface and bloatware apps, I'm pleased with it and the handwriting recognition does pretty well for me.
I hate Samsung devices, though. Mainly because of twitch-whiz, to be fair.
Hi guys, I'm looking for input on my next phone. I've read through the edge vs note 4 threads but most are almost a year old so I'm looking for some updated info. I posted the same question in the Edge forum but would like some input from the other side, as well.
I currently have an S4 and have narrowed down my options to the Edge and Note 4. I like the idea of having the edge screen but wondering if it's actually useful. I don't do anything crazy with my S4...It's rooted and I really like xposed and wanam. I haven't done ROMs or anything like that.
What should I know about or take into account when evaluating the two phone options?
Also, while not specifically a comparison question since I think the feature is identical between the two phones but I've read lots of complaints about the fingerprint reader. Is it bad? Are there ways to make it work better/more accurately?
I am on Sprint.
Thanks!
just go for the regular note 4, the side screen isnt' anything special, but it's much more expensive
At swappa, the price difference is about $50-80. That's not enough to be a deciding factor for me as long as the functionality of the side screen is beneficial.

I am replacing my broken Note 4 with the S7 Edge.
I was looking for some active pens to somehow be able still to write and I stumbled upon this article.
Is this Android M feature supported by the S7?
Could this be added if it's not present?
Am so excited
Preordered the S7 but still on the edge weather to get a Note 5 instead
Could anyone please test it?
Would be awesome
There are even pressure sensitive Bluetooth pens out there.
Bumping. Important Android 6 feature
Could be handy to know coming from note 4 would ease the transition
I want to know that does edge screen really matter or not? Should I consider the edge (almost same in size as Note 5 is) better than Note 5?
As far I have knowledge, it is worth to own a S Pen instead of focusing edge panels., but you please give some solid suggestions with solid reason.

You can have the Edge features if you root the Note5.
S-pen is entirely up to you. Some people love it, some never use it. I used it for about a week and never touched it again.
You can have the Edge features if you root the Note5. but i prefer s7 edge

I would recommend you S7 Edge. I own both and I have to say that the s7 edge has a far better battery. It can give me 2 days while note 5 cannot give even 1 full day. Also, waterproofness and micro sd is a huge plus for me.
i bet s7e
I have both and while I love the S-Pen for me the addition of being waterproof and having the Micro SD slot override it. If The Note 6 is waterproof (not likely) and has Micro SD capability all bets are off.

It's the S-Pen that really makes the difference on the Note series and that, unfortunately, can't be ported.
Is it possible? To use phones with no spens to use spen features? Like a button just to activate that spen menu with gif maker.. etc etc
You would need to adapt and port a Galaxy Note Rom to the S7 edge, if it could be done anyway.. as there is an extra layer of hardware sensors built into the NOTE screen, such as Radial Menu activation when SPen is removed.. also pushing the button on the spen itself.. activates and interacts with the phone.. the S7 doesnt have these sensors
Why would you want to do that anyway ... you can pick up a Note 5 or even a Note 4 or a Note edge pre-owned really cheaply now that the S8 is here...
Hello!! So i just used the s8 roms here. And I found the note features on the edge panels and more.
Yes because Samsung coded them into the S7 rom to make the edge more useful and less gimmicky.. but you still cant use the SPen, because SS want to sell the NOTE 8 when it arrives.. if they coded the SPen into the S7, there wouldnt be much point in buying a Note 8... but like I mentioned above the S7 doesnt have the touchscreen layer to use the actual Pen..
Just buy a NOTE 5 or wait for the Note 8
