Been waiting for GN2 for a year

I've resisted myself from getting Galaxy Nexus/S3 for GN2 and now rumors say Verizon isn't getting it. I guess it's time for me to move on from Verizon...
Any thoughts?

From what I read, the GN2 is still going to be a lot less powerful than the G3 so honestly I'd just get the G3 unless you really want the Nexus for some other reason...

Take a look at this: http://www.bgr.com/2012/08/21/galaxy-nexus-2-specs-rumor/
As you can see, the G3 is still a superior phone, especially if you manage to get the international quad core version (the US version had a dual core)

I know which is better... I was saying I was thinking of getting Nexus WHEN it came out, not now. Honestly, I just love the screen size/and display on Note 2, so I was holding off SGS 3 as well, but looks like I wasted the time w/ Note 2 only going to T-Mobile and AT&T.

The Note II is coming to all 4 major carriers. But since you're on Verizon, I assume you'd be most interested in this piece of info. http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...verizon-pops-up-in-screenshot-model-sch-i605/

I like big phones but I think the Note is just a bit too over the top, although I can imagine gaming on it to be incredible. I think the G3 is about at my limit for gigantic phones

Oh my bad, I thought you meant Galaxy Nexus 2, not the Galaxy Note 2. Although I'm not sold on the size of that thing, it looks more interesting than the Nexus 2

The s3 is a solid phone! If you get it, you wont regret it! From what I read verizon is not getting the note 2... instead they will be dropping a LG variant with a 5" screen.

Samsung?!Why and what now???

What and why Samsung you do this?
Until thill now we wait and was happy for new flagship release but now Samsung you just counthing money and sold phone?!
When you release few years ago phone they have new function and beaty now older phone have more choise then new.
When you see Note 4 vs Note 5 you will see more on Note 4 then on Note 5,small difference between this brothers.
I have S1,2,3,4 and then I go on Note line but after Note 5 I ask my self what now to buy when change Note 4???
#OFFICIAL No Note 5 for Europe,one more dissapoiting.
Best regards guys!!!

3000mah battery!!!! Samsung better fire som people!
Well . Thanks samsung for loosing a dedicated costumer!

Agreed. For the first time in 4 years, i missed live stream. Not interested at all. Samsung is just pushing their loyal customers away.

Bad bad and bad nothing new.
For me bigest dissapoiting is displey 518 ppi note 4 515 ppi and battery 3000mah note 4 3200mah,Samsung going down,self touchdown,NOCKOUT.

LG 4 pro looks interesting... They compared to iPhone 6 plus... Which has more memory and with the new iPhone coming out apple could kill Samsung.... And iPhone updates are way faster.. Goodbye Samsung or or may keep my note 4 for another year by then I may get update to 5.1.1...and they thanked loyal fans.... And they listened to what we want?

I agree man
Samsung please leave glass................ use metal or plastic but leave glass
I noticed that for the first time there is no difference in design or materials used for building both the Galaxy S6 & Note 5, same design & same stupid glass.
look to the design of S4 & Note 3 ........... there is a difference
S5 & Note 4 ........... there is a difference
This year I think Samsung missed & made such a stupid step back & it will cost Samsung a lot
Say No For Glass

Agree but Samsung made too many mistakes now like battery etc

Probably not a rare piece, but it just makes the Note 5's value proposition look that much worse!
Note 4s are going for about $300-400 right now and do a whole lot more despite being last year's model; why not just keep buying them? Perhaps Samsung will get the hint when last year's model outsells this year's model by a significant margin.
As for me, I'm not even going to sell mine; I'll just keep rocking it 'til it dies.

You said it.
Suggest Samsung should come up with 3 Note models every year and deliberately tag them officially as below:
Samsung Note Classic
Samsung Note Sheep
Samsung Note Floosy Edge
Never change the Classic model on the core features, yes improve and evolve the design.
For Sheep and Floosy variants, go and fsck yourself and do whatever it takes to keep the drunk suites happy.

If they wanted to carry experiments, they should have done on edge version only. Damn why they don,t realize that note users want bigger battery n microsd.

Because the note users you talk about would probably buy less units than sheep that just don't care about tech specs .

Some more like hole damn department they seriously goof and just got lazy with the note 5 build . Instead they just use galaxy s6 plus mold and just reversed the screen.

Agree with this thread. I have had the note 2, 3, and just bought the 4. Bought the note 4 only because of what they were doing with the 5. Unless they get rid of the glass back I won't buy another one. I love my note phones but don't like the direction they are going now with glass back, non removable battery, and no SD card. If they wanted something premium seems like they could have gone with leather like LG or some other premium material that would at least let the back be removable.
Interested in the LG g4 pro but the display in their LG line doesn't seem to be as vibrant as Samsung's but will have to see what it looks like when it comes out. BUT for now will enjoy my note 4 as long as I can.

You didn't miss anything on the live stream. It was pathetic, almost embarrassing. The only thing worth a mention was the faster wireless charging. It was a real yawn fest.

[Q] S7 Edge+

Do you think they will release one this year? Because I don't want to buy the s7 edge and months later a new s7 edge comes out. I have the s6 edge+ now

This would be doubtful.
Last year they released the S6 Edge Plus mostly to appease users in Europe that wouldn't be getting the Note 5. Their records showed that under 20--percent of users in europe the S-Pen and just wanted the Note device for the large form factor. This is mostly why the Edge+ even got made.
This year however, they have decided to release the Edge itself as a larger device. There is no benefit to releasing an S7 edge plus this year. However, we may see a Note 6 and Note 6 Edge. We will be seeing the Note released throughout Europe as well.

What do you mean with that? Do you for fully real THINK that Samsung will release after few months a NEW Edge? Why the freakin' crap should they when they always released their phones once in a year?

I'd say it's unlikely. I feel as if they're only going to release the Note 6 this summer.
Why?
The s7 edge appeals to both s6 edge+ and s6 edge users with a 5.5" screen. If Samsung were to hypothetically make a S7 edge+ it'd have have a ~6.0" screen for product differentiation. On top of that the sales were not that great with the s6 edge+ in comparison to the note 5. Oh and let's not forget that confusing naming convention they're likely trying to oust.

have you ever heard about s6 edge+? it was released shortly after..exactly

I don't think they will... Simply because why make the S7 EDGE is bigger. S6 vs S6 edge were the same size. the S6E+ was larger. What are they going to do make a even bigger one? I don't think they'll do it this time around.

I only discussed this yesterday with someone who said they were waiting for it before updating. I'll put money on Samsung not releasing a plus variant of the S7.
Beefheart said:
I really can't see it. The Note 7 Edge is 5.5" so unless they plan to take it up to 6" as I said earlier, they won't be releasing an interim device because it has a bigger screen. And 6" for a phone is too much. As for the camera and storage, neither is a reason to bring a new device out before the S8 in the first quarter of next year. The S7 has expandable storage and comes in a 64gb flavour already in some territories. Why bother with 128gb when it can be expanded via the SD slot for far less money? And the camera is already the best on the market at this time.
The S6 Edge+ made sense, as for some the S6 Edge wasn't big enough and they avoided it as a result. That doesn't apply to the S7 Edge. In short, holding off because you have a good enough device in the S6+ is fine and makes sense. But don't do it because you think they will release an interim device less than 6 months down the line, I strongly suspect you will be disappointed.

I don't think a 6" for a phone is too much. Look at the Nexus 6. I bet you money they will release an upgraded version this year

Samsung cater for the majority. And 6" for the majority is too big for a phone. If they do release another device based on the S7 this year it won't be because it has a bigger screen. And I can't think of what else they'd release one for. I'd take that bet.

Yes I have. And no, they will not make an Edge+ because Edge itself has already enough big screen. That would be an 6-inch screen and there is no way in hell that they will make it.

My theory, and I have no real reason to believe this but it's what I'd do.
Samsung's new line-up:
March release:
S7 and S7 edge, we know these
September release:
Note 6 at 5.7"
Note 6 edge at 5.7"-6"
Each primary phone (S or Note) has an edge variant. Serves different customer bases while keeping everyone happy.

Well Dennis, let's say: inside information!
By the way: did the Note 5 have an "Edge"-variant?
The Note 4 didn't either; it was de "Note Edge", NOT "Note 4 Edge"...
So: your statement "each primary phone has an Edge variant" is not correct.
And your theory about the september line-up isn't either...

Note edge was a note 4 with an edge screen.
I never said that last year or the year before Samsung did what I was suggesting they were going to do this year.
I never said this was anything more then a theory, I should have said a guess. It's just that, what I think they will do. Your 'inside' information may be true. I don't know, and I'm not one to claim any special knowledge when I don't have any.

Wondering about this myself, hopefully they don't release a + version because that would suck.

They did not make a Note 5 Edge, so I wouldn't get your hopes up on a new one...

It's so silly not making a new note edge
---------- Post added at 10:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------
It's literally the best phone ever made

There is still a chance that we get an edge variant of the new note when it's released this summer. The note 5 didn't get one because they were hoping the s6+ would fill the void. They have reversed course and have no plans for a s7+ so maybe the new note will get an edge variant again

Even if they make a new one, I am NEVER gonna buy one. Why? Look how did they treat the current Note Edge? No updates, no security patches NOTHING!

Updates are overrated..... the most stable software is usually the one the phone comes with.
When u upgrade ur phone then take advantage of a software upgrade leap.
In the meantime there will be plenty of tweaks that can be used up personalise the phone.
---------- Post added at 07:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 AM ----------
The usefulness of the edge trumps any software upgrades IMO.

I think this year we could see a Note Edge variant, because the S7 Edge of this year is already in commerce with dimension bigger than flat style and because last year s6 edge plus was presented together Note 5 and didn't sold lot.

Technically speaking Samsung Canada contracts out their sales to two different companies. One runs the Samsung Experience stores that have a physical presence in certain malls. Online sales are handed off to Tech Data Canada which is based in Mississauga Ontario.

Pre ordered mine from Telus. Was going to do samsung too until I saw that they are not getting the timely updates one would expect. Unlocked s7/edge is still on Marshmallow. Yuk! Anyway super stoked. Telus might start shipping for as early as the 17th. Fingers crossed! [emoji4]

I won't ever order an unlocked phone again. The Galaxy S7 Edge unlocked phone (G935U) still doesn't have nougat. It just got March security updates and the last ones were December. On top of that, the people that preordered the Gear S3 from Samsung Canada, had to wait over a month from those who ordered from Best Buy.

I wish I could pre-order from my carrier too but I don't want to change my plan and Telus doesn't allow you to just outright pre-order purchase the phone. After my last experience with Tech Data over the Note7 pre-order, I don't feel at all assured that I made the right choice. I remember getting my Note 7 after the release date, even though I pre-ordered it practically within the same hour the window opened!

Don't forget to register for the free gear vr! You have to fill out this form for Samsung in order to receive the gift. Fill it out and when you get your phone, register it and Samsung will send your Gear VR. This should be interesting to see who actually gets it.

God they are stupid and shortsighted. After the huge note 7 fail one would think they would want to sell as many s8's as possible. Which would mean making all colours available.
I pre ordered anyway but will swap it for a sliver or gold exynos version like i did with the note 7 and s7 edge.
