What is your opinion? I don't see a real reason to upgrade from K3 actually... maybe to Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 'TV' (Top version, soon comes out) No info about the CPU Freq', So as the cameras (on K3 note the camera quality is low/worse compared Xiaomi Redmi Note 2/3)

Updated!

The Helio X10 is terrible for battery life. I have the Redmi Note 2. Hope this isn't true.

Neh, I purchased for my friend RMN2 Prime with the "OC" helio x10 and it works fine (the battery 'life')
What I don't like that much is the GPU, 6200 on 550Mhz (stock)

Update 4.

They should maybe fix the alarming issues with the K3 note before they want us consumer to fork out another dim on a phone from the same company. Same complains over and over at the offical forum without a word from the company: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/K-and-Vibe-Z-Series-Smartphones/bd-p/lp02_en

I feel that this is a pretty balanced device.
Whilst it is true that the processor is old, in every other way this device seems to shine.
3GB RAM, good front facing speakers, NFC, 3600 battery, good screen, high quality camera...
The only compromise is the processor - which if you think about it, may not even be a compromise at all if overclocking is possible.
Thumbs up for this device.

Can some one find a root exploit for it please

What about the roms? K3 Note was not good on the software perspective. It took 4-5 months to get something that was good enough.

It's still a new device so maybe with time developers will give it some attention.
I'm hoping for the best. Will buy mine mid February.
Another benefit is the fact that the phone supports a huge array of networks. So compatibility when traveling is very very good. Many phones do not have this level of network compatibility.

Let the hack begin
Time for the developers to get the note 2 rom on our mighty note 1. Let's see how
Long it takes:good:
i don't see the point of upgrading mine. nope.
Not that impressive with specs
Will stick with my Note and see how things go till I make the plunge,disappointment for sure.I feel Note -1 will remain unique comparing with this:silly:
The 2gb ram and quad core is hardly of any use.. Except hardcore games. Note 1 is super amazing for everything . also display on note 1 is better ppi and resolution wise. With jelly bean and the note2 features ported to note 1 I'm sure it's gonna be rocking.

I'll wait until it's rooted and plenty stable custom rom.
Thanks for this post,definitely an inspiration to work for more so I can buy this beast

One BIG nothing!
Shame, shame, shame! And, one more word: BLAME! What a sh.ty "upgrade".
wtf is wrong with you people? Its such an amazing device. I'm thinking about getting one by the end of the year and giving my note to wifey.
Comparing it to Nexus 7 is genious ... I want to see it next to first Note.

Things I like on the Note II
2gb Ram
Bigger Battery
Still not worthy of an upgrade. Plus I think the Note I has better screen resolution than Note II.
Not a big deal, i won't buy it... seems like S3 is better than note2
Video frome TheVerge
I knew they were going to use the s3 design on it, but I was hopping that they will go in another direction.
In my opinion s3 feels so cheap when you hold it, then it feels even cheaper when you are not holding it because of the glossy plastic and greasy fingerprints on it.... I'm gonna stick to my note, maybe note 3 will be better.
I like the hardware on note2, but still...
Can you confirm the LED Notification light? Because RGB Led doesn't exactly say it...
Can't believe no one else has said it.
F*ck the note 2... why halllloooo Samsung galaxy camera!!! Now that is one sexy beast!!!

It's the end of one beatiful friendship...
Let's check possible scenario:
1. New one Note 1 in my country is 420 €.
2. I can sell mine for about 300 €, if I was lucky... In perfect condition, btw, with 4-5 cases.
3. New Note 2 will be, IMO, around 600 € plus minus 20 €.
4. So, for 2 Gig of RAM, and better batery (+300 mAh) I'll have to pay +300 €.
5. Let's check the other manufacturers offers, it's about time...

Considering to buy Note 4. Need Advice

Howdy everyone,
I am planning to buy a Galaxy Note 4 by end of upcoming January. I always used to be an android player (Had Samsung S3, Note 10.1 and HTC One M7) but I bought an iphone 6 plus as I was really curious to get my hands on ios on a bigger display. I like the iphone and how it functions but it is really so simple in a way that makes a raw performance demanding guy like me feels dull and bored. Do you guess a Note 4 is my best buy? Or do you have other recommendations? Thank you.
Sent from Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE using Tapatalk
With any luck Lollipop will be on the Note 4 by then. Could make a fast phone even faster. I think you'll want to see reviews on LP on the Note 4 before you decide.
I've been using nexus devices for the past two to three years and wanted to try a phablet device. Got the Note 4 and I'm loving it. Touchwiz will take a bit of getting used to but once you slap on Google Now launcher, Nova or whatever suits you, most of the in your face stuff goes out of the way. The thing that I'm loving most about the device is the battery and camera. A recent software update from Samsung has increased the battery life and also addressed a lot of the lagginess with Touchwiz. Overall, the experience is smoother and much better. After recently rooting my device, I've been able to get rid of most of the bloat on the device as well. Overall, I think it's a good buy. It is a pricey device though so you might want to weigh your options before making a decision. For me the screen, battery, camera and how a large device like this feels in my hands makes me happy with the decision I made. The build quality on this is the best compared to all the other Note devices that you'd have come across in the past.

Tomorrow. ..next Galaxy..no Note 5...

I have the impression that tomorrow will not be the day of Note 5 release. My feelings are that we could see S6 edge+ and maybe a smart watch ( or three ) but not the Note 5. What do think?
I'm hoping to see it. I have my upgrade due and it's between note 5 and s6 edge+ I really hope tomorrow answers all of my questions and helps me choose lol

Lol. That had me laughing thanks.
But to respond to the op, tomorrow should be the announcement of the note 5 and the next edge device(which should be the s6 edge plus) that doesn't necessarily mean release. Prob start taking pre orders though. Im picking up another note edge tomorrow to replace the hole in my heart so i am gunna take a good look at both of them and will prob be ditching my s6 for one or the other. Guessing the note 5 since i should have a note edge already. Unless the s6 plus blows me away which i dont see happening.
Sent from my SM-G920P using XDA Free mobile app
Will see. All the offocial invitation are for one device not two. Leaked prices and Pre-orders are for edge + only. So we will see.
BTW I am expecting lessons from you to help me learn how to use Internet. Your comments are the proof of your good education.
It seems like the rumors about a regional launch for Note 5 are true. In Romania the pen is missing from the advertising, the rest is the same
I hope the n5 will have an ir blaster, rumours say it hasn't
There is Note 5:

The Samsung teaser said it is a Galaxy Event, not Note Event though Note5 will also announce together you clearly see Note5 with SPen in the picture. The big question is an unknown third device there with 6.5~7" size, I'll call it as S6 Ultra(much like the Sony Z1 Ultra 6.44").
I owned Z Ultra from Sony. It was the best device ( first in the world with sd800) except Note series at the moment. The only negative was his camera and the lack of led light. Otherwise awesome. Maybe it's Samsung time now...

We are yet to draw more detailed conclusions about the Galaxy Note5’s camera performance, but the initial impressions are for a snappy camera that captures great images. We also noticed that the double-click quick activation shortcut is present here as well, and Samsung has added the option to control shutter speed in the Pro camera mode.
But still a good news there, I think we'll have manual shutter speed in Pro mode soon.

Samsung Launches 2016 Tab S2 with Qualcomm Snapdragon 652

And is otherwise more or less the same as the 2015 version.
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-refreshes-the-Galaxy-Tab-S2-8.0-and-Galaxy-Tab-S2-9.7_id80150
Some people say this is more of a "downgrade" in terms of GPU power.
Strange. This is almost nothing upgraded. For me, main thing is it replacing tab s3, or we will see it in july, august?
just came here to post this, hopefully this means android 6 will come out soon for our s2's
Before people get their hands on this.
I bet this is gonna overheat.

I dont see sense of this "upgrade"
It comes with 6.0.1 though. I guess it's samsungs way of saying FU to the people who have been waiting for an update for their exynos S2.
Cost reduced for Europe
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
I've been reading that they are likely not to launch the tab s3 this year now. Truthfully, aim fine with that. I love the bleeding edge but damn, it's hard to keep up anymore.
I did snag a Tab Pro S with Windows 10 and that's actually pretty amazing...
Sent from my SM-N920W8 using XDA Premium HD app
It will definitely be better for ROM development, being snapdragon has a lot more development than exynos cpu's in all phones. But then again it's a tablet so there will be limited to no development.
Assuming they don't lock the bootloader (as they did all the US s7 Snapdragons).
But yeah, they found that a mid-range 2016 processor might be easier/cheaper to produce than the 5433.
Hopefully this means 64bit Android 6.0 for the Tab S2 exynos...

I agree on the possibility, that this might mean no 6.0 for the exynos, but in any way we can't change that. I think it has a lot to do with the fact, that samsung really isn't making that much with their tablets in comparison to what they expected. Launching an overhauled, easier to develop tablet might be their way to make some buzz, but not invest that much in new development. I don't think that this means anything for the exynos variant concerning Rom development, since they are wholey other SoCs. Also smartphone sales were not as great as expected with the s6 and with China as new challenger in the market, samsung probably has to watch their expenses.

I have the tablet 2013 Nexus 7 and a few other devices laying around the house but this gets the best battery life out of all of them. I am rooted with Xposed running greenify I know that helps. But I've been on my tablet for 7 hours now and I'm still at 87%... and this is being inactive watching videos playing music I played a couple games... reading XDA! Lol

You can only ask or indeed answer that question if you can compare it to another device you own and use the same way or its a pointless question.
We all use them in different ways and this has a huge effect on aspects such as battery life.
It's almost like comparing how long a tank of fuel lasts in a car.
It all depends on many factors.

This is a screenshot of my tablet's usage so far for today.

Indian LeEco Le Max 2 Thread + Stock Indian ROM 5.8.015S

I got my Phone delivered by Flipkart and here are few of my quick observations:
Antutu 6 Score: 142712 (Highest among S 820 phones)
Negatives:
The USB-C to standard headphone adapter is included but still that is downright idiotic to push their crappy Apple rip off ear pods. The plastic causes ear pain after prolonged use and we do not achieve a good seal for best sound quality. So all these claims of hi-fidelity audio are meaningless.
The Touch-ID or fingerprint sensor has got to be the worst ever sensor in the market by a long shot. We cannot be sure if response time and accuracy can be improved over time by software updates. It is unfinished. During initial setup, it simply refused to enroll my second finger. Had to do that manually later on and also the enrollment process takes ages to register your finger.
Positives:
The phone is definitely good looking but on a heavier side. Got a black protective case to hide the Rose Gold. I am not a fan of that color. Built quality definitely matches Samsung/Apple if not better. I have not yet removed the original matt screen guard. I am waiting for Flipkart to deliver me a tempered glass guard before. I heard that naked screen scratches easily.
The screen quality and speaker volume is adequate.
Supports all Indian LTE bands (B3, B5, B7, B40)
I actually liked their UI skin. Finally a hardware which is not bogged down by software. RAM available is 2.3 GB / 4 GB (OS takes 1.7 GB haha)
There is a Transparent Gel case included in the box.
Camera is strictly above average but not chart topping.
No heating issues at the moment. Phone does get slightly warm while Antutu benchmarking)
Biggest: Indian stock ROM has no bloat apart from few LeTV apps.
Unsure:
Whether LeTV will release kernel sources for custom CM13/14 based ROMS in future. They must do it to beat One Plus 3 at their game.
Fingerprint sensor performance will improve or not.
Whether we will get Android Nougat in future

Thanks for that, Yes I love my phone, I have the 5.8.015S on my Max 2, from your description I can now conclude I have the same one !
From my point of view its International. IE I see no "Indian" specific branding apps etc.
From the marketing moves of LeEco entering the US market place and other existing 820 ports of Android 7 I would
suggest they will be working on it .
