I'll tell you what, i can never go back...

to a smaller screen now. This phone rocks! Sure, i have a few (non-dealbreaker) gripes similar to others' but ignoring those, the Note is PERFECT. The screen is the most important aspect of a smartphone and the Note's is gorgeous. I hope Samsung continues to make devices this big and badass because like i said, i won't ever be able to use a crummy less-than-5inch screen again.

Once you go Note you never go back.

Agree, the "old" phones with small screens seem like a joke to me now!

same here .. I can even do with a slightly bigger one .. may be 5.7 .. or may be even 6 inch And the phone is WOW

We just got it and we already want more... We humans are so insatiable!
P.S: I would love a 5.5-6 phone.
Edit: It's here. With pleasure I give you the FIRST and as usual ACTUAL size 5.7-6.5" mock-up. Enjoy:
------------Removed the 5.7" for better view of the 6"--------------Removed the smaller ones for better view of the bigger ones---------------------------All included!

I couldn't agree more.
At first I thought it was a giganta-phone. But having been a phone owner since 1991 (when they used to cost real money), I must say the Note cleverly nudges the envelope.
My other smartphones look like wee toys.
My tablets look like laptops with their balls cut off.
Out and about: GNote
Between home and office: 17" MBP
But only as long as my eyes can take the searing resolution! My 41-year-old wife fell vocally beyond that 2 months ago...........

ahahahhaha! Nice one! Never heard it before. Or at least be putted like that.
And on the subject, a 5.5" or 5.7" is NOT at all in my opinion a big upgrade from the Note. Or atleast for those who already bought or planning to buy the Note since I haven't heard/read any rumors or anything about any phones in the 5.5-6.5" category.
Now a 6" android phone? With a Dual/Quad SoC with oled/amoled screen? YES SIR!

I was using 7" galaxy tab but its too big .i think if they keep the size og GN but make the screen lil bigger that would be enough for a phone..

I don't think so. It would kill pocketability. You can squeeze in a little more by killing all the hardware buttons, but this is close to the limit.
The pocketability is great now, but we haven't had people putting cases on yet. Bigger+CASE? Ugh.

Well I respect your opinion but for me it's different.
I measured my usual pockets(costumes/jeans) and they are 19cm deep(Jeans) and 17cm(costumes pants) when sitting. So I can staff in there any phone below the above sizes before it's top/bottom emerges.
Oh and both pocket's are abount 12cm wide.
Yeah, we all have many different clothes that it will not fit(maybe same goes for GNote) but making a statement here.
So a 6" GNote look alike phone based on my measurements consisting of H:160mm x W: 92-94mm is really the actual maximum size of pocketability for me.
BUT: Practical? Manageable? Easy to use? Good for a bit of longer than usual calling etc, etc? Nuh, I don't think so.
But then again.. I don't call/speak on the phone much!
Edit: It's not THAT bigger!

Too right. I was reading pixles this and pixles that what a load of crap, the screen is AMAZING!!!
It nearly has the resolution of the iphone but is about 4 times the area

tru dat! my brand new Note is just amazing
when i take a break and look at the S2 or S1 i can't believe how small the screen seems to be, how did i ever get by with that?!

Same here...been rockin' a dell streak for over a year. I've looked at the SGS2, but it seems TINY compared to a 5" screen. If the note ever gets to the states, Amazon (US), I'm getting one. A 4.7" would be about as small as I could go now.

You sir, got Note-ed!

I was looking for PDA with a big screen since 2007 after I bought HTC Advantage X7510 with 5". I can say that the ideal for me from 5" to 6" and no more. Now with Samsung Galaxy Note I would never trade it for anything less than 5" and more than 6".

Oh I had done many customizations for a friends X7500(Athena) and I was a real joy. NOT comfortable at all in your pocket. Why I'm saying this?
Just to think from where we came from and we end up with the Note. HTC Advantage, HTC Shift(can't remember if it was released) and so on.

Galaxy S II vs Galaxy Note

I just got my Note yesterday and spent a great deal of time with the device. I figure this might be a good place to share the experience
1. Pentile display complaints on Note is a moot point. Specially around the curved text edges, it looks like Note is noticeably sharper than the S2
2. Feel is very similar. Note is pretty much a bigger slightly quicker S2 with a larger screen/battery
3. SAMOLED HD is gorgeous
4. Sad to say this but i'm already used to the device size and S2 feels tiny every time i go back to it
5. Onscreen keyboard is easier to use due to size and spacing (it's probably the best onscreen keyboard that i've used and this includes the 10.1 and ipad)
6. S-Pen is awesome and it works much better than any other stylus that i've used including the capacitive ones

I use my SGS2 when out running with RunKeeper, great for voice feedback , music and the odd photo when needed...
This is probably the only reason to stop me going for a Note.
Can you use the Notes stylus on the SGS2 screen ?

Excellent phone but no chance would i buy it, for me it's far too big.

strange question, how about placing an apple on top or perhaps the odd grape or two

^^ lol. Its so he can see the size difference. i would like to see that too actually as im considering getting a Note next month too.
How about fluid and smoothness? as good as S2?
Is it a pain to use in one hand i.e reaching the far side of the screen? or do you need to use 2 hands?
I read somewhere on here that bigger screens dont actually mean more text on the page, its just larger text. If you load the same page in both browsers do you actually see a lot more on the page of the Note?

If the screen is bigger, but the resolution is the same (e.g. Galaxy S1 and Galaxy S2, the latter has bigger screen but same 800x480 resolutio, so the view will be the same on both, with S2 text being larger). However, the Note has higher 720p resolution, so it should fit more.

Sounds good.
I prefer big screens (100inch screen via projector in my living room lol) so i would love the Note. Im gunna pop down to city centre on the weekend and try get a bit of play time with one in the stores.
The modding scene doesnt look very big on XDA at the moment, i guess thats cos its still new though.

I needed a second phone and was about to get a Note. Then I found out it doesn't have Gorilla glass and some users have already reported it easily gets scratched. I hate screen protectors. I agree with the rest of its wonders, but no Gorilla means no phone to me.

Gorilla glass is just a brand name and samsung might be building their own fortified glass similar to nexus
Btw, gorilla glass does scratch and it all depends on what your device gets exposed to

Big disappoiment Nexus 6

I got my new nexus 6 and im very disappointed and let down. At first I thought it was going to be better than the note 4 but it really isn't. Does not feel premium at all, instead it feels cheap, kinda like samsung phones. The blue color that tmobile offers is really ugly, like seriously, midnight blue? Aside from the fact that it has a big screen, it does not offer absolutely nothing, it has zero features to take advantage of the big screen. It doesn't have phablet features to help with the size. The screen is a huge let down it is not even a joke. The iphone 6 has a better screen. The speakers aren't loud but the sound is clear. The camera still blows as usual. I can't believe Google hasn't done anything to improve it. I can't comment on the battery just yet but I'm thinking that it would suck. The ambient display will suck the living out of it. Having said all that, I'm torn to pieces. I'm returning it tomorrow

Its not for everyone. We all knew this.

Uh OK. You obviously don't have the phone. One thing about the x14 and n6 is they feel very premium. Almost wish they were a little more light and less premium as it comes across slippery. Very well made phones. Now move on....
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Saw it at T-Mobile store today. Definitely does not feel premium. I'd say the In quality and styling it would be The Note 4 in first place, then the IPhone 6 Plus, then last the Nexus 6. The matte back is a greasy fingerprint magnet like a previous phone I had the Moto G. The screen does look pretty nice and the speakers on the front do sound good and loud. But I'll be sticking with my IPhone 6 Plus.

Cool story, bro.

Give it 3-4 weeks and we'll weed out all the people who pre-ordered just because it was hyped.

I don't like metal phone such as htc one m8 I had for 6-7 month and I really was scared to drop it or scratch it. Plastic phones forever for me. So I not worried about how the phone feels. I am going to get the N6 no matter what

Yup. This is pretty common with every new device release. Within the first month, threads usually pop up stating how they're disappointed with x device and thinking about going back to the phone they already owned or moving onto another.

This!
For those new to XDA, it has been known that once a hot new device hits the market, XDA will be flooded with opinions, assumptions, and disappointments....it never gets old.
Move on people.

Call bullsh!t without pictures. Sounds like a troll from the start.

While its perfectly fine to be disappointed with a phone and want to tell people about it, there is a much better way to do so then what was posted in the OP. Perhaps a constructive breakdown and examples of what is disappointing? The way the OP is laid out, it will only start issues.

Please come back when you have seen the note 4 display. It is superior to every thing out there. You will we no micro Dots since it is a 2k display.

Well i'll bee keeping coming and I won't see note 4...
Well am not bothered since it isn't coming up phone.. I am not interested in sam mobiles.. always had only problems with them in past (in HW way)
And in future I will be interested in OLED screens ..
For now IPS - BEST

I like the wrap-around glass, If that's what I see. I'm afraid though, the design is not special enough. I have to wait to see the materials but - it's beginning to look a little generic! I hope it rocks because I'm dying to get my hands on it.
You see, the S6 is looking nice, and the HTC-M9 is solid as usual.
I don't know....I really enjoyed the double glass of the P7, and the slim, perfectly proportioned P6. I don't see anything differentiating the P7. In fact, those rounded corners at the bottom look a bit like the *gasp*...the HTC!

Well I know that pic above is rumor or it will be compl. different once released, but ... I've seen leaks of P8 too and I already seen bits and I have feeling am slowly falling in love with P8 it will be BEAST and that design ! nice bottom slim 6mm flat ..

Another clear pictures

Those picture were on the net late december as remember seeing them.
could be just general stage of in-house prototype development rather than any current build they doing to follow up on the mate 7, time will tell I suppose ...

LINK: Rumor: Huawei’s Mate 8 Phablet Might Launch Later Than Expected
Android Headlines has a rumor story about the Mate 8 possibly not being released until next year, due to them wanting to focus their energy on the P8.
The Mate 8 is still thought to be coming out late in the year, so hopefully this rumor is false.

I think the real reason for the delay, is that they want more time to develope a more powerful follow up processor.
Another reason is that their new upcoming D8 model could be seen as a mate 8 mini. It features Kirin 950, but also a 2K display and 5.2 inch.
I think many of the people who still doubt about the 6 inch size mght prefer the D8. It has the same design as Mate 7 but smaller size.
as a power user I still think the Kirin 950 update to the D8 is very welcome... but since it has 2K display I am worried about lag and battery performance.
Samsung has proven a 2K display can consume not much power, but the question is if huawei can do the same.
Otherwise I think D8 have a big potentical... might become a big seller... 6 inch phones are still a niche market atleast here in Sweden.
It is not an optimal size really, but if they can improve screen to body ratio it would be a step in the right direction. It is the outer messurements that matters,
and huawei and LG is the only two companies who focus on the screen to body ratio. This is an essential focus if you are going to do a big size smartphone.

Am looking forward to see P8 .. Thinking of buying it .. (will keep mate7 as well)

According to a leaked road map from hisilicon, kirin 950 will be released in q4, kirin 940 in q3. Just like the upcoming d8 will have kirin 950 I think mate 8. Ost likely have to. In other words... We can expect a q4 release.
Snapdragon and also another company are working on fingerprint scanner that works on the screen surface.. So yeah this type of fingerprint scanner that is used in mate 7 or iPhone have no future.. . They will all be inside the glas soon... It most likely will happen next year though.. .

I love the look of my mate 7, and the mate 8(if that's the mate 8 anyways) looks really nice, upgraded. This for me is the best style on a phone so far I have used, and I have used all the best phones out there as i phones, notes, Galaxy's, htc's etc. Anyways, the point is that it looks really upgraded, and nice, love it.

What I expecting is that M8 will have no black borders around display.. and that would be awesome..

somebody copying mate 8!
http://www.gizchina.com/2015/03/17/phablet-version-of-the-nubia-z9-max-photos-published

so all these so called "Mate 8" pictures we have seen was this ZTE model.
The similiarties is very pathetic...
Regarding the top of the phone, I am pretty sure they use the exact same front camera and ear speaker too.
Looks identical to Mate 7. The back is very similiar too. Maybe superior speaker though..it looks bigger.
Probably same finger print scanner ? screen to body ratio is worse...

That bezel size though - comparison pic Moto X Pure vs Note 7 vs Pixel XL

Wow.
Just so disappointing.
Larger than two different 5.7" phones.

LMAO, the 5.5" Pixel XL vs. the 6 INCH Huewaiauaia (sp?).

The bezels are ridiculously big!

Why is there a space at the bottom. There are no buttons or speaker. And what's up with the all white front with a color back. This must be Google's attempt to copy the Iphone design. These Pixel phones are ugly.

really daft to copy iphone in every aspect including pricing!!!!
What does this phone offer over iphone 7 plus!
should be priced around £650 for 128gb version at most.

I just think it's funny because the A9 was a huge flop.

Lmao. Me and my friends call the company Hawaii ^^
It's pretty ridiculous that the bezels are this huge with a mono down facing speaker. Even the headphone jack is on the top, there's nothing that can explain the size of the bottom bezel...

The space at the bottom is annoying put something there or shorten the phone.
It is a minor annoyance

It's smaller than an iPhone 6/S/7 Plus, at least. It's shorter and less wide than the Plus, but it's taller and wider than the Note 7. Much closer to the Note 7 than the Plus, though. Thicker than both, but it's honestly such a non-issue with phones these days being absurdly thin already.

The huge chin just looks so out of place. They could have used capacitive buttons or something. Atleast THEN there would be a reason for such a huge chin, and also save us some screen real estate.

for that price, id rather get the iphone 7 plus

the design, the splintering of software features between pixel devices and non-pixel devices, the price ....it's enough to make me consider switching to iPhone if they stay in this direction

Because it's using a (very slightly tweaked) HTC A9 body...minus the button.

Yea, they're very similar.

They are big bezels but they're not exactly hollow. It does allow a bit more space for the battery by moving components forwards and if you don't like that, it's a place to rest your thumb whilst you're reading

According to multiple sources its everything we wanted in a google phone so of course people don't like it.
IMO its awesome IMO who really cares about bezels probably how they got a bigger battery in a nexus / google phone if oyu got the XL at least. With google its all about the software in the phones and the internals. Plus IMO people just mad b/c it looks like a dump iphone who gives a ****. IMO specs beat the iPhone 7 plus so does the price.
People just like complaining because its what they want finally just probably can't get it b/c of price. Well you need a job to get things you want. =)
Also HTC makes awesome phones like the htc m8 and we know how awesome their aluminum is on phones. So we should be glad its not a plastic POS like some other phones. And IMO glass makes it more durable but it is for the antennas thats why upper half on back is glass.
Sorry for vulgarness, just had to put this put there. Btw who cares if it looks like an iphone most people like iphones look.
