Galaxy Note II Review from PhoneArena

I just found a video review to share with you of the Galaxy Note II done by PhoneArena.com
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp_REhzPPEo
it is good review but they did not provide enough info regarding the battery.
What do you guys think?

I think that it is not a review, it is a ****ty article with not all the features that we already know weeks ago in the search of traffic for making money being "the first"
Where are the test of
- Audio quality
- Slow motion camera
- Record screen
- S-pen advance features like "losing the pen"
- Battery tests
- ram available to the user
- storage, 2gb partition for data and 10 to user? Or 12 to all?
Seriously, that its not a review. Waiting for anandtech or gsmarena

Sir, there is a Review thread established, Thank You and closed.

FRENCH Video Review from yahyah206 on the Redmi Note 2 (40 min)

PS Looking forward to the reviews!

It gets my attention. I think they did right thing with xiaomi this time.

Really hope that some good reviews will come out soon. Especially comparing it with the Meizu M2 note, i know the soc is not comparable but for me battery life and screen quality are more important. For now it is very hard to find reviews, especially since all the chinese resellers and fansites abuse the word by saying review for a spec listing or spec comparing article/video. We really should invent a new keyword for a true full review with all benchmarks and measurements included. I have found a decent hands on video in chinese sadly youtube captions are not very up to the specialist smartphone talk so are more miss than hit.
Really like the phone so far. But its not in me to buy tech without a good review.
Ah cant link as this is my first post here.

CNets video review of the Sony Xperia Z5 - Sony's Best Smartphone

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YX7wMvCp8c4 Waterproof test video
The flagship beast from sony and beast of the xperia z5 series. This smartphones carries the best camera of 23 MP with latest imaging technologies and with an elegant waterproof design. This beast comes with hybrid auto focus acc. to company. Xperia Z5 is powered with Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 (MSM8994)Adreno 430 GPU and with 64 bit processor. This sounds a bit technical. Xperia Z5 comes with 2900 MAh battery. Battery sounds enough for smartphone of this range. The smartphone is very light just of 154 Grams. It sports a display of 5.2” FHD 1080p (1920×1080) (Triluminos display for Mobile). The front camera would be of 5 MP with Sony Exmor R for mobile sensor Full HD video. Moreover the camera would be capable of 4K HD Video recording and with image stabilization. Well these were just specs and features on the paper. Reality can differ we can’ t judge whether the smartphone is good or not.

Blind Sound Test: Note 5 VS G4

I read some reviews of the sound quality of Note 5 and G4. Note 5 seem to be generally well-received while there are a lot of poor reviews for G4.
I want to check them without prejudice and had a blind test of Note 5 vs G4 for balance, clarity, damping, dynamic and volume level.
In brief, the winner is Note 5 except the volume level.

And I also wonder your opinions on it!

OPPO Ambassador from Italy! Let's rock the Find X5! UNBOXING LIVE! (REVIEW SOON)

Hi all! My name is Francesco, the only OPPO Ambassador from Italy
As an ambassador I cannot wait to put my hands on OPPOFind X5.
What do i expect? Well, certainly a confirmation of the excellent work already done by OPPO in the last years from a software and hardware point of view such as the 80w Wooc Super fast charge, I think it can be the solution to the "battery anxiety" with which we often live.
I'm also looking forward to test the new Marisilicon's NPU optimizations related to night photos and videos and the collaboration with Hasselblad on color balance. Well ... I can't wait for it to arrive.
Il will share tests, comparison with S22 Ultra and Pixel 6 Pro, and a lot of photos!
Are you ready to join my tests?

Finally I can share my unboxing ophotos and first impressions! Just a spoiler: With Oppo Find X5 you don't need to buy accessories or charger, EVERYTING IS IN THE BOX!
UNBOXING​
FIRST IMPRESSIONS​As stated before, after you buy the phone you don't need to buy accessories! The box contains everything: 80W SuperVOOC charger, USB A to C Cable, a Type A-C dongle, a TPU Cover (very minimal and flexible) and the phone comes with a preapplied screen protector!
Simply unbox it and you are ready to go! I really love this!
The phone feels super premium in the hand with aluminium rounded edges, clicky buttons and a silky smooth matte frosted glass on the back. I really like the way the glass curves towards the shiny camera bump and also that this matte finish doesn’t pick up fingerprints at all! On the front the shiny 6,5" 120HZ OLED Display (not LPTO and with no variable refrash rate) with 1000 nits peak brightness.
Coming form 2 super phablets of 6,7 and 6,8 inches and over 200g (Pixel 6 pro and Galaxy S22 Ultra) I feel very comfortable with the size and weight of Oppo Find X5: 6,5" and 196g.
As many of you already know: Oppo Find X5 is rocked by a Snapdragon 888, the Qualcomm's flagship SOC of 2021 paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS storage, it shares both the Sony IMX677 camera sensors with the Pro version but it lacks 5-axes stabilization (it has the classic 2-axis OIS) and uses different lenses. By the way the most important camera innovation is here: the MariSilicon X NPU that should improve camera performance especially for night shots and video.
Cannot wait to deeply test this!
Now i need to configure it and test this amazing piece of tech, please stay tuned and follow this thread to know everything about performance, photos, videos, battery life and optimizations of the latest ColorOS.

Following!

Another game, this time the challenge is against a big big phone! Which Ultrawide Photo is from Oppo Find X5?

Jings, Oppo "ambassadors"...their reviews are going to be really unbiased. Personally, I think Oppo Ambassadors enjoy getting their freebie devices to play with and have no intention of saying anything that might spoil their future gravy train supply of phones.
Clearly, they have to review the latest versions of ColourOS, hence why there was such a proliferation of the usual YT suspects bringing out very positive reviews of it after launch. Odd how none of them mentioned Oppo removing the ability to disable the Google Home Screen feed....
This phone has had astonishingly positive reviews all over YT, all from "ambassadors".....it's good, don't get me wrong but just be wary when watching reviews.

Ciao,
you can be sure my review will be honest since I'm really critics with android customizations, and after 10 days I already submitted my doubts to OPPO team.

I have to say I prefer the S22U here. Sky on the oppo one looks a bit blown out and over exposed.
