Where in Mumbai can we get it for that Price ?
Please

I got it for 68K black color without bill ofcourse 2 months back. The reason for this high price in my case I only wanted the model number SM-N915G not another which ends for "S" or "U" etc. The 915G model is made for Singapore, Australia & INDIA. This makes it better to support indan networks and upgrading to Indian Firmwares from SamMobiles. This is atleast my thought
BTW I even have now 3 - 4 cases for the case
1. Official Note Edge Samsung Flip Case - I have 2 of them so someone wants let me know
2. UAG Note Edge Case - Love it and currently using it
3. Verus Case - in 3 colors, some of them is packed as well. I have it Red, Silver & Black. I am planing to sell the Red one.

Samsung Galaxy Note Edge CASES

the phone is here but where is the lollipop update, this is really ridiculous of samsung.

I dont actually expect an update till atleast end march the way things are going. The note 4 hasnt even started getting the update yet here in India.

It's really horrible. My S4 is on lollipop officially but not My note edge

Actually we seem to have spoken too soon. Lolipop has just come out for the Australian G version. Which means we should also get one soon.
Ps. I also flashed the s4 with lollipop and i loved what Samsung has done! Cant wait.

Indian users finally get a taste of lollipop! Before note 4 users
Go download now!

I believe the Lollipop for India has just been released....it's already available in Sammobile.

Note edge lollipop india review needed
Hello Everyone.
I need review for the lollipop update of the galaxy note edge in india. If anyone has updated, can you please confirm the following :-
1. Has the shutter button in the camera app shifted from the edge screen to the main screen near the home button after the lollipop update.
2. Is the edge screen and its old functions working normally like utility tool such as ruler and flashlight on the edge screen?
3. Any other bugs observed after the new update?

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.

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...

Only Note5 and S6 Edge Plus...
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-Note5-vs-Galaxy-S6-first-look_id72405
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.

Come, let's discuss about the marshmallow update for the Note 5.If you get the details about the update, please give a comment below. That will help users about the update processes. In my opinion, we might get 6.0.1, that's why samsung makes it delay.

Because those devices are their most popular models. But i swear if they give us 6.0 and not 6.0.1, that'll be so stupid. 6.0.1 has already been out for a month. And Sammy limited the scrolling speed for hopefully smoother scrolling. I can't wait for that, actually

I think Note 5 will get official 6.0 after Feb 21, some time after it, they will reveal S7 along with M 6.0.1 hopefully and we see. it's quite a shame, G4 G3 HTC all got android 6 already, if sammy preapres 6.0.1 with a sweet surprise that would be nice, but as we know sammy, it will ship Android 6.0 hopefully without major bugs.

Functionally, what are the advantages?

Does anybody know how to get the modelname of the a7 or a9 and try changing it in build.prop so see if they get the changed icons or the exclusive themes they have.

So change the theme. My current theme looks very similar to that one.

I would say definitely with 6.0.1, since even the beta for S6 has been updated to it. Date I would expect sometime in late February or March, maybe even into the second quarter of the year.

Unfortunately, white is the color of choice now. The black color in Android is associated with Android Gingerbread, an era in design both Google and Samsung would rather forget.
It would be nice to get an option to pick the theme though.

Its the lack of updates that is going to end up pushing me into a new phone. And sorry but that theme is ugly as sin.

Either they were trolling or the leaks were not currected, OR they decided to make it with with as less as bugs possibe, and provide 6.0.1 with it.

Samsung is (and always has been) terrible with software support. It's common knowledge that their devices will almost always be behind on updates. Nothing here is surprising.

Samsung starts Nougat firmware development for the Galaxy S6 edge

http://www.sammobile.com/2016/11/13/samsung-starts-nougat-firmware-galaxy-s6-s6-edge/
What do you think? Will we get Nougat this year?

Probably a year from now lol

The news is in test pk7 firmware.
Probably in this year

"Started development"
Then needs to get to the carriers. I guarantee it will not be this year. More likely is middle of next year

They are expecting results from the beta s7

Well wait and see... I'm willing to make it interesting if you want. I'd bet on it in a heartbeat that it won't be until next year

Android 7.0 Nougat On Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge?
Type "Android Nougat 7.0 For Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 Edge & S6 Edge+ - Worth It?" On YouTube! There's good news about S6 Edge Nougat 7.0 Update!

Sadly, in this article, it says "The S6 and S6 edge are unlikely to get the update before 2017; in fact, Samsung probably isn’t going to bring Android 7.0 to the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge before next year, either."

Maybe...

The images are benchmarks of a S6 Edge running Nougat.

Or someone that changed their Android version in two seconds with root explorer. I can make mine say Android 100.0

Take a look at what happened when Marshmallow was released in September of 2015. The first device that got the update was the Note 5 in March of 2016 – a five month wait. This can be used as a benchmark for future releases.
Nougat was released in August of this year. If we add five months to that, we have a potential January 2017 release date. Although the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge were the only devices confirmed to have Nougat, there have been reports about Android 7.0 being developed for the Galaxy Note 5 as well as the Galaxy Tab S2. Some reports are also stating that the Galaxy S6, S6 Edge and S6 Edge+ are getting Nougat after the S7 and S7 Edge.

Lol you suck at math.
Sept till March is six months.
August would be one month less, so February.

The nougat manual for s6 and s6 edge is out.
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge-nougat-update-user-manual/
We can expect a 7.0 release on our devices soon.

In some days, in some weeks... we're close from the release
I will ask Samsung France about S6/S6 edge/S6 edge + Nougat release

will be released till june as I know

S6 edge will get Nougat in a few days..

Are you getting UFS 2.0 or 2.1 version of S8? Mine seems to be 2.0 :(

Hi All
So far I am happy with my shiny new S8 with no red tint yet
however, recent benchmark test is driving me a bit crazy, I think I am getting the slower UFS2.0 version of S8 instead 2.1, since in my recent benchmark test, it shows my speed is a lot slower compare to others' benchmark shown online.
see below is mine, only 500MB+

this is what I found of others' s8
I clearly remembered S8 is UFS2.1 as their spec and many reviewers have said the same.
I checked Samsung website spec page, it does not say anything now, however, I did an internet archive page check, it's clear that Samsung official site indicated UFS2.1 before 25 Apr, and remove it after that, are they mixing memory type as some others indicated?, more importantly, is it normal or should I ask for exchange ?

This is my results. I guess it's 2.1?
Have you checked any other app that may show version number or something?

The read/write iops are around 50% faster with ufs2.1, i wonder if exynos got the faster interface, need some more samples folks.

US (Verizon) S8 and had around 550 read.

exynos s8

So is it literally a toss up on which one you'll get? But sucks for me...

Exynos variant, Sweden, UFS2.1

i also get 550 read approximately with a snapdragon variant (verizon). Just from the samples here it looks like Exynos gets 2.1 and snapdragon gets 2.0. :_(

So exynos gets easy root uhs 2.1, and snapdragon gets uhs 2.0, but compatible dolphin emulator within like 5-10minute download

All S8 Exynos get UFS2.1 it seems.
All s8+ Snapdragon get UFS2.1
Some S8 Snapdragon get UFS2.0
I think this is the take home message.
