It is rumored that the Galaxy Note 2 will arrive somewhere around October. I'm pretty sure all you G Note lovers will pick up the new one so here is the question:
What do specs do you want in the next Galaxy Note?
Me:
Better processor - Quadcore
More Ram - 2GB
Bigger Battery - 3500-4000 mAh
Better screen density (PPI) - Over 300
Led Notifier
New Touchwiz
Better camera - 12mp or more. Manual focus in video recording.
Physical Camera Button
Larger S Pen - Or a free S-Pen Holder kit.
Curved Design i.e Galaxy S3/ Better ergonomics
Thickness same or less but not more.
Screen size perfect. Should stay same or 0.1/2 inches bigger is fine.
Higher speaker volume.
Better build quality - Back cover fells cheap and very breakable.
Kickstand
Thats basically all I can think of at the moment.
well most of it will happen by default
coz it will be a successor of S3....
5,000 mAh Battery...removable
Stereo Speakers

Front facing stereo speakers.
CPU fast enough to decode high definition flash videos. (e.g. it can't stream HD videos from iPlayer)
Better audio quality, it's the biggest down point of the phone i'd say.
Blacks screen issue resolved
2gb of ram, i am pissed everytime that my note goes below 100mb free and starts to struggle taking 30 seconds to react in any app.
i totally agree with the ram problem an a better ppi display would be excellent the cause the low ppi screen the iphone looks sharper than note

Hello,
With this being talked about now, what will your realistic Project Ara phone have?
Mine is pretty simple:
Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 2.3GHz
Adreno 330 450MHz
2 GB RAM
3.8 V 2300 mAh, 8 Wh, Qi wireless charging
Slide out QWERTY physical keyboard
4.96 in (126 mm) diagonal IPS LCD with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 (1080×1920 px (444 ppi))
8 MP with OIS, f/2.4 aperture and Xenon flash.
1.3 MP Front Camera
3.5 mm TRRS
GPS
Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac
Bluetooth 4.0
NFC
Infrared port
Every damn radio band so I can use GSM/3G/4G all over the world
Now that I look at it, this phone sounds pretty familiar.........
My price range would be $400 - $500
What about you?
Also, lets keep it realistic, real (no transformer from phone to PC or fantasy crap) and considering phone/budget of each person. Basically what Project Ara is really about and can offer.
Im editing the title again: Please keep it realistic Who knows what people are reading this thread. If we post things like 8K resolution screen phones for 200 bucks, we cannot keep this realist.c
I'd be willing to pay up to $600 for a device with 8GB of internal storage with an external storage option, a 21Mp camera with OIS and various low light optimizations, It needs to be at least dual core running at no less than 1.8 Ghz, it needs 2Gb of RAM, an adreno 330 GPU, a 4.7in screen with a resolution that's above 720p, wireless charging, ALL the radios!, wifi 80211ac, a front camera that has 720p recording and is at least 1.3mp, extremely tunable audio quality, and a slightly curved screen.

Just asking for a good DAC and a curved screen will shoot it up more than $600
I based off mine a existing phone and depending on that raised the price compared to it...
For me:
Top-line specs (cpu ram etc...)
But the extra stuff i would buy into it is a good DAC (digital analog converter). I like to hear quality music.
And a best of the bests camera with a big and fast sensor (maybe foveon x3), 3diagonal OIS, led+xenon AND full manual control in it's software. I want to control shutter speed, ISO, explosure, OIS on/off, timer, intervalometer, HDR, brust mode, pixel oversampling and RAW capturing.
I don't want to take photos like on DSLR, but these things are good to have in the creative process :--)

By the time ARA is available this will be a bit old
But I would take high specs with 3000 or 4000 mAh so it would last more than a day

Because my 2100mhA battery on my nexus 4 only last the day on usual use but can be drained by half on my 1h commute if I stream music while playing games
An HTC One with modules and i'll be happy

Thats why you do and that is not normal usage (internet, music and games)
The phone I do (PHONE) does WAY more than any phone I (or most people) can ask for.
Really i want there to be clean choices.
saying you want a snapdragon 800 in it or a 21 megapixel camera wont help you if that phone comes out in a year or so.
An option to get it pre-assembled.
A rating system for blocks, if you replace a block, ask you to rate/comment on it after a week or so.
More then one company making them.
Multiprocessor support. Get your Snapdragon and your Exynos. More power. Maybe limit that to just more then one copy of the same chip though, i do not see how it would work otherwise.
A separate block that contains the headphone jack, usb, ... so that it can be replaced without replacing the more expensive components.
A small internal battery, so that you can exchange the battery block without rebooting.
Different body shapes. Tablet--Phablet--Phone--Phone with keyboard
An E ink screen option.
Price, depends on components.
An E ink phablet-phone is something else then a DUAL-Tegra with 3 extra battery blocks, 4k screen and no radios except wifi.
- separate DAC/amp (i imagine these will be built into the SoC so hopefully OEMs can make modules that override this)
- 4000mAh battery
- landscape QWERTY
- probably a screen no bigger than 4.7" given that an overly large screen would make using the keyboard untenable
- camera module with a decent sensor size & xenon flash
- multiple SD/microSD card support
- projector
i don't imagine you could have all of these modules on the phone at once though
I'd love to have a phone with a 4.3" 720p AMOLED screen and a Pureview Camera with a hardware shutter key.
CPU would be an Intel Atom paired with 2 GB RAM and 32 GB storage. Also, dual-boot with Android and WP (or whatever OS I want to put on there)
Oh, and the price? $500, maybe? (modular, of course)
I should have added that please make the phone and price realistic; Some of you are saying technologies such as PureView cameras when that is a trademark by Nokia and Nokia would NEVER open source it (with reason and I agree with them)
Independent vendors such as nikon, canon, etc.. might produce modules and provide propietary bins.. nokia as motorola's competitor would probably not agreed. W/o seeing the mdk, I can only guess companies [and a few gifted individuals] would have the resources to develop, nano-cize and produce said modules.. or will motorola be taking a you design.. we produce line.. Future looks exciting either way.. I'd pay $600 for full phone [base + enough modules to make it standard] but in just [visually] glancing the [proposed] module spacing, we'd be lucky to get battery you suggested.. Doesn't seem room unless thickness added [or two module spaces used].. which is/are a bleh idea(s) imo.

The controversial new Samsung Galaxy S6 sheds its plastic construction, removable battery, expandable storage and environmental protection for slicker looks.
Samsung Galaxy S6: Learning a new design language
No two ways about it, the Samsung Galaxy S6 is a stunner, framed in cool-to-the-touch aluminium, and with a coloured Gorilla Glass 4 rear and front, it's a beautiful phone to behold. It's clad in Gorilla Glass 4 front and back, and the way it gleams and glistens in the light is quite entrancing. The S6 is available in "White Pearl", "Gold Platinum" and "Blue Topaz", but we think it looks best in "Black Sapphire", which you see pictured here.
As you'd expect from a modern smartphone, the S6 is extremely slim (6.8mm) and light (138g), and it feels surprisingly compact in the hand, especially considering there's a 5.1in display up front.
In our view, the S6 delivers the perfect compromise between screen size and one-handed comfort – in fact, it's slightly smaller overall than the Samsung Galaxy S5 – and it combines that with impressive build quality and attention to detail. Even the volume, power and home buttons feel like they've been upgraded: everything about this phone feels perfectly on point.
There are some downsides to the design, however. First, in order to produce such a gorgeous work of art, the removable rear panel, replaceable battery and microSD slot for storage expansion have been consigned to the dustbin.
Second, neither the S6 nor the S6 Edge has an IP rating, so they're not not water and dust resistant like last year's Samsung Galaxy S5 was.
And third, the glass rear of the phones picks up fingerprints like they're going out of fashion. It's easy to clean, but if you own one of these phones, you're going to be spending a lot of your time wiping it on your jeans or the hem of your T-shirt to keep it spotless.
Samsung Galaxy S6: Specifications
The fact that Samsung has gone with its in-house Exynos processor for all global versions of the Galaxy S6 signals the company's growing confidence in its ability to compete with top-tier technology firms such as Qualcomm. The Exynos 7420 SoC has four 1.5GHz ARM Cortex A53 cores and four 2.1GHz Cortex A57 cores, allowing the phone to strike a balance between performance and power consumption for all kinds of tasks. There's 3GB of RAM, which is standard for top-end phones now.
With no microSD card slot, Samsung has made the Galaxy S6 available in multiple storage configurations. The strategy and pricing follow Apple's precedents, but the base model comes with 32GB rather than 16GB, which seems like a direct shot across the bow.
Like last year's Galaxy S5, the physical Home button has an integrated fingerprint sensor, but now you don't have to swipe your finger across it - a simple touch will do. The heart rate sensor on the rear is also still around. We found the one on the Galaxy S5 gimmicky and ultimately forgettable. This one is positioned to one side of the camera hump, making less likely that regular usage will become a habit.
OS: Android Lollipop with TouchWiz user interface
16 megapixel camera with LED flash, f1.9, autofocus, optical image stabilisation, digital zoom, UHD 4K video recording
5 megapixel front camera with 1080p HD video recording
Display: Super AMOLED, 16 million colours, 1440 x 2560 pixels (5.1 inches) capacitive touchscreen
Music player
Integrated handsfree speaker
S-Voice natural language commands and dictation

I think you forgot to mention why is it "the iPhone 6s killer". I think you need to compare them meaning you do need to mention about the iphonr
Not to be a party pooper but, this phone came out months ago. We have had the device for a months. A review now is kinda pointless..

This review is considered old. The latest devices in the market boast 4GB RAM and 4K display. The S6 was a great phone at its prime but it has now lost its footing to the Note 5 and other more powerful phones out there. While the camera is a game changer, most of the things you find on it can be found on other phones as well. Furthermore, most developers are put off by the Exynos processor as there is no way to develop custom ROMs for phones with Exynos processor without proper documentation from Samsung.
Also don't forget to mention that the STOCK Galaxy S6 multi-tasking and UI smoothness is... well, not good.

Judging by the popularity of the phone and feedback from reviewers online I think its safe to say that there will be a Razer phone 2. What are your predictions for the Upcoming Phone?
Release Date?
Me: November 2018
Specs?
Processor & GPU: 2018 Snapdragon
Screen: 120 Hz 1080P IPS with 700 nit brightness and HDR
Speakers: Same as Razer Phone 1 with better dust prevention
Audio: Same as Razer Phone 1 with USB-C DAC
Camera: Better with front facing camera to be used for game streaming and vlogging
Battery: Same
Body: Same with different placement of fingerprint reader and volume buttons
*glow in the dark logo
Extras: ?
What do you think?
Don't think they would go backwards to 1080p when they are 1440p for their first phone
Even parts wish list & predictions:
1) (Fast) Wireless Charging: 50% chance
2) Better camera(s): 100% chance
3) 3.5mm audio jack: At least 50% chance
4) I-R Blaster: Wishful thinking.................
Definitely glow in the dark
At least IP68 certified, wireless charging (these 2 are greatly missing from a 2k18 flagship), aptX HD and Thunderbolt 3 on USB C capabilities (and 3.1 USB C transfer speeds) and ofc, Chroma lightning for the Razer logo on the back with the ability to manually and custom set and create light effect for incoming calls, txts, notifications, etc and also the ability to sync that with the rest of the gear (kb, mouse, cans, lights).
Native video streaming, the ability to stream from anywhere in OS menus or ongoing apps or games - implementation in the OS itself - given it's a gamer's phone, I'd like to stream whatever content is on the display without buggering with 3rd party apps and setups - full implementation with the major online game streaming platforms around, with the highest quality settings and ability to record locally the stream, at least FHD; native screen recorder (as Xperia had it, was brilliant). Apart from that, I hope they don't change anything. Software issues (especially the camera) are fixable over time.
This is what i would want to see in the razer phone.
CPU: Snapdragon 845
RAM:8 or 12 GB
Speakers: same as original razer phone or better.
GPU: Adreno 630 or 640 (when available)
Camera Rear: 16 Megapixel Dual or a single lens one with F 1.3 aperture and one with F 2.0
Camera Front: 10 Megapixel
Display: 1440p 120Hz IPS eith HDR support and 600 Nits
Chroma compatible razer logo
Same design in my opinion
Recovery menu use WITHOUT A NEED OF A USB CABLE.
First of all they should keep the flat square design. Love how it looks and feels in hand.
Hate the fact how most new phones are going with similar curved edge to edge s*** designs
If something needs changing, then maybe a glass back like the Galaxy Note 5. Or a LED colour changing Razer logo on the back.
CPU: Latest Snapdragon will do
RAM: 8GB should be more than enough
Storage: 128GB/256GB variants
Speakers: One of the main reason why I chose this phone over Galaxy Note 8.
(The speakers should be even louder with better clarity. Dolby Demo is nice and loud but for example Youtube is not the same.
It should be the loudest phone by far, it should not even compete with other phones in this field. Also the speaker grill should be better designed for dust/water protection)
GPU: If the phone is known to be for gaming then it should have the best graphics processor.
Game play should be smooth with no jitter/lag.
Camera Rear/Front: This was a complete flop on this phone. By far the worst camera phone I had in ages. Very poor quality.
Should be completely changed and have decent low light and hdr support. 4K 60fps video aswell.
Display: 120hz display again but with more light and clarity. This one just looks dull with no colour.
Maybe similar to the Galaxy Note 5 screen. That was quality. I know amoled and ips is different but I expect a much better screen compared to this one.
Charging: A proper working Quick Charge 4+. Quick charging should not stop at 25% battery level. Wireless support maybe.
NFC: A proper working NFC
Vibration Motor: A proper working one which does not sound or feel broken.

The current RazerPhone supports 720p 1080p and 1440p
we'll see if they fill their promises and iron the bugs out of this one mobile market could wreck razer if their not careful as this is no where near the standard of the other products in software or build quality first phone or not the market is to competitive to launch a pos.
