yes, rumor has it, this one actually has 3 Front Facing cameras, each with different modes like the predator.

heres a pic to prove it
no but in all seriousness, I'm really considering this device. just hope the price is below 500$

Knowing Samsung, I'd expect it to undercut the iPad.
Although I have no use for something like this, I can see the great potential for it as a seller because it fills a great gap in between large tablets and smartphones. The 5-inch Streak is too tiny to be a serious tablet and too large as a phone. 7-inches might do the trick.

oooo buy me one too!
Thanks!

Can hold it with one hand? That's a plus. Although I don't know if it'll be comfortable, but at least you can do it.

This is definitely a plus. I believe the market is out there for a device this size.

The SGS Pad is something I might consider buying as an e-eader or portable video player. Otherwise it's not really gonna do anything my Vibrant doesn't. It just has a larger screen.

You guys know it's not called a "pad" right??
it is "TAB"
Let's not let this beauty have all the female jokes the iPad had

Can't wait for this either!
Hope it has an SAMOLED screen and supports TMobile 3g

Too small
I think the iPad's size is right. This is too small. But the iPad is too heavy. It needs to be as light as the Nook and as big as the iPad - and I think the Super Amoled Screen does reduce one layer of glass, so it might help. I wonder how much of the iPad's weight is the battery's weight.

Is this going to be carrier based or is it going to allow any average joe to walk in and just buy one? WiFi or cellar based? I don't need another cell phone, but at the same time I really don't need an over sized Vibrant and that is why its not going to sell like hot cakes. Well then again tons of people bought the iPad.

Agreed. There isn't much that I can do with 7 inches that I can't do with 4. I'll be waiting on a tablet with 10 inches of screen real estate or better.

Samsung is also making an 8" and 10" version supposedly.

Is that stock note? Filled with bloatware and useless stuff that makes it so slow?

note for the win

I was really considering the One X before i watch this video (even though I don't have a clue what he is saying ) but after seeing this it's like there is a HUGE difference in screen size!!
I was thinking 0.6 wouldn't be that much to lose but it seems it is, damn you Note

Yeah I thought exactly the same but screen size on ONE X seems a lot smaller and I think we are all doomed to wait for Galaxy Note II or so!!!

I still say this phone is going to have major battery complaints.

I'm going to get One X when it is on sale in the UK and sell my Note. As much as I enjoy using the Note the last 5 months and still think the Note's screen and expendable memory is great benefit compared to the One X. I'm mainly changing for the 4.0 software shipped with HTC. Had Samsung kept their promise of ICS update by end of April, I'd be happy with keep on using Note, but I'm starting to get sick with general slowness of Gingerbread.

The pic alone should be sufficient to see how this comparison does not make any sense as all the others comparing the Note with "the rest"...
The Note is THE SOLE AND ONLY ACTUALLY USABLE SMARTPHONE TODAY, the One X is just one of the other countless, useless stupidphones I am no more interested in.

Most concerning part of htc one x is battery.
Does 1800 mAh battery will enough for 4.7inch device?
Note have 2500 mAh
One more thing i suspect is GPS, note have dual support gps + glonass, n thats y mote having marvelous gps fix, hardly i do have read complain about this, i think one x don't have glonass.
No memory card slot also annoying part for one x.
Some positive thing is powerful processor, n preinstalled ICS for htc x.
Overall i do stick with note only, if i explain just one reason, can't compromise screen size anymore.

He basically put down some specs and display comparison. He has that the one x, has that outsticking camera is a minus for the phone since it more likely gonna scratch. He also said that the screen viewing angle is almost edge on edge but NOTE is slightly better. Both are fast phones. Also his conclusion is the HTC one x is a great phone smaller better pocketable but the Note is still the slightly better all around phone. But the size can be a issue with some. And I didn't translate it word for word just a short version.
Samsung Note

Ketan words made me remember some wise words:
Someone said: "Size don't matter".
Well, either this person had a small penis or didn't had a galaxy note.

I'm going to ask my Austrian friend to watch and translate the video.

Yeah, that's almost right - sorry, i do not own the phone, that was a hands-on with pre-series and i cannot make another english version.

That may be the reason it feels so big as the iPhone is so small. The value of the gs3 won't depreciate rapidly, so I would hang on to it and try it for another week or 2 before you try to sell it. :good:
Good luck. And P.S. You can get a thin case like the speck pixel hd or even a cruzerlite case from amazon.

... really its less than a quarter inch of difference on sideways width...

The case you want is a D30 with cutouts for the buttons. Not sure what the model number is...(not printed on the box)...but it is really slim.
Plus...4.8 inch screen...is more of a One and a Half handed phone. :silly:

Plus...4.8 inch screen...is more of a One and a Half handed phone. :silly:[/QUOTE]
that is right oh well i tried.

I actually think it is not big enough. I have the Note but it was too wide for one-handed use, so when I saw the specs for the S3, I said 4.8 should be just right compared to the Note's 5.3 inch screen. But I have to admit I was a bit disappointed, I was expecting the S3 to be a slightly bigger. I see now that the phone is taller but still rather narrow. Don't get me wrong, though, I am loving the phone compared to my iPhone 4, so I am still happy overall! Now if the rumors turn out to be true about the Note 2, bigger screen but narrower and similar to the S3 in terms of curves, then it will definitely be my next phone.

I suggest getting the flygrip. It's a finger grip and a kickstand. You stick it on the back of the phone and the adhesive will keep it in place. You'll never worry about dropping it and with your fingers in the position they are, you'll be able to reach all corners of the screen with ease. You can check it out at
Flygrip.com
Qbking also did a review on it

I can use it one handed without too much struggle and I have relatively small hands. I don't think its too bad and I am coming from a HTC Hero which is a little smaller than the iPhone.

But the screen sizes are a huge difference. He can probably reach the whole iPhone screen with half his thumb extended. While the gs3 takes a while thumb and a slide of the hand.
Deebo took your bike too?!

Get apex launcher or Nova. They have a setting where you can swipe down anywhere on your home screens and the notification toggle slides down. That way you dont have to reach to the top so much.

Update: they sent me a refurbished Maxx, what an improvement over the X!
Got to it by being persistent is all I can say.
After Vzw sent 2 refurbished phones, they agreed to a conference call to see what moto could about my dim screen, the worst hardware issue with the X, IMHO.
They agreed to send a new x via their "advanced exchange program" which is similar to vzw's but with an option for new with the return after you get the replacement.
But white X's (nonDE) were out of stock. So after many calls I got connected to the white glove dept.
They offered a white DE to me along with a skip!!!
My original X is a 3 month old one I got on Vzw's Edge plan.

All dev editions are the same. Black front, white back.
But congratz on getting the DE....more space, keep the warranty and unlock the bootloader. Easy street!
I'd hold on to it.... Dim screen or not. Lol

In bright sun, I've never used a device that was easily readable. So maybe I've just never noticed it. My X is as good or better than my N5 or S2 anyway.

My bionic was awesome in the sun it had the pentile screen.

Got the DE!
Dim or what!
The iPhone pic does not convey the real difference.
BTW: Damn, that iPhone screen is stunning.

The latest pic, post 10.
BTW I upped a pic of the Razr M vs my X. The (left) M is brighter which allows better outdoor readability. The glare on the X is due to the factory screen protector which needs a replacement, fast.

very noticeable difference

You must have the worst luck I'm afraid. Mine looks like the one on the right.
Brightness is 100? It's not the screen protector?

It looks like my 3 year old S2 screen. I could never live with that color.

Can we all agree ? The Screen is FANTASTIC! (And here's some videos to prove it)

Just wanted to voice how great this screen really is! I'm a G3, Note 3, S5, S4, Note 2 -
I was so excited for the G3 and then the screen on that thing had no VIVID colors! What a huge disappointment - it went back.
If you'd like to see how great this screen really is, TURN up the brightness, go here to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56100084&postcount=14 and grab those videos!!
Killer!

Samsung and Apple both have the best screens on mobile products. The LG G3's (QHD 2560x1440) screen is amazing but it uses IPS LCD screen while the Galaxy note 4 uses SuperAMOLED 2D screen.

I agree I had g3 and fixed my self to like it this screen blows it out the water
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Premium HD app

To be fair, the colors on Samsung devices (by default) are vivid, but not accurate. Not sure how accurate the G3 is, but Apple screens are generally quite a bit more accurate than Samsung screens.
From what I've read the Note 4 has the option to use vivid or accurate color rendering, the accurate is at least as good as the iPhone 6 (plus the option to have the colors really pop.)

im excited to see screen today!!! g3 has good screen i think (thats about it imo though but good screen) so we will see!

So excited!!!!
So which wallpaper will anyone be using? Stock Note 4 or anything you have prepared to use for it? I'm spending so much time browsing 2560x2560 wallpapers but can't really decide which to choose.

Anandtech, Displaymate and others state the color coverage is the best of any device. Depends on the setting. Vivid is still an option.

i do love this screen, but i very slightly see what some people said about the upper right hand portion of the screen having more of a reddish hue than the rest. mine has that, but it's pretty slight and only noticable on white screens like in the menus, so i don't care much. everything else about the phone works perfectly so i'm happy!

Oh wow! I love it. It looks awesome on the Note 4. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. :good: :good:

There appears to be some G3 owners in denial that their power hogging, low contrast displayed device is better and the N4 is a laggy while the G3 is super fast. This in contradiction of most reviews and my own experience.
G3 is a good device, but the display is a more than usual resource killer.
