This is my review of the phone. it's my first one so don't expect fireworks!

Is there a notification led?

If you can give us some camera samples in low light it would be great. What do you think about the camera and what telephone did you have previously?
Thanks!

I had Note5 . Haven't tried the camera properly yet, but just took some pics in low\semi low light.
P.s
Let me know if the quality is enough. If not, give me a website I can upload full pictures.

Where did you get it from and is there any disadvantages from a normal US/international version?

Can you install Aida64 and post the codecs supported specifically the OMX.qcom.video.decoder Interested to see what hardware video codecs it supports. Hoping for h264, hevc, VC1, MPEG2 and more!

Thanks for sharing dude !
Is there capactive or on-screen button ?

I live in China. bought it in www.jd.com. Cost 4100 RMB(=622.69 usd).
I've installed Google services without root, so at the moment can't tell the difference between this and international ver.

Captive.

OMG, I'm sold! I see h263/h264/hevc/MPEG4/DivX311/DivX4/DivX/MPEG2/VP8/VP9 for video codecs and AC3/EAC/Flac for audio codecs. This is perfect for my video codecs!
Now just need a reliable source to buy this from.

I ordered one of these from spemall.com last week, I wish they would hurry up and ship it. I don't remember seeing the fairly small "presale" text almost hidden on the product page now when I made the purchase. I hope they aren't holding back international purchases of this Chinese version for their international launch.

Thank you for the quick reply !
Good to now that "normal" 6/128gb version has the capacitive buttons.
On the codec side, good to see hevc, i just hope that they did use up to date one from dc so it supports 10 bits^^

Im not an audiophile, unfortunately, but I do appreciate a good sound quality as I have Sennheiser Wireless, and v-moda m100 and constantly listening to Dubstep\hardstyle\rock etc. I listened for a few minutes without to much equalizing and it sounds very good. Later I will root and install viper4android and hopefully it will work on marshmallow. My note5 didn't :\

How far is MiFavor UI 4.0 from AOSP visually and functionally? OK, I know that there is no original Gapps. But what about other functionalities? Does the phone have dialer which is close to android (Google) dialer or totally customized one? Does it support voice recording? Google contacts, if installed? Native sip (internet) calling? Thank you.

I am hoping that they have used the AOSP recent apps list and drop down quick settings rather than the way that MIUI and EUI do them.

If you have a Type-C -> hdmi/power in/usb A, could you give a try to that ?
As in, can you output to a screen through HDMI while charging and using a keyboard.
Cheers

Hmm. The chinese UI is very customized, I wanted to barf when I saw it the first time. Also because this is high configuration, its made of gold color, hardware and software. The notifications tray is actually nice, and after I nova prime the **** out of the phone , it looks great!
There are alot of functions, can't list them all, better watch youtube. But theres forcetouch(works very poorly, need software update), floating icon that can go back,take screen shot etc. You can have duplicate apps (wechat, whatsapp etc), voice activation and much more, I like it so far. Also for a full day not one force close.
Yes it supports voice recording (in dialer and regular).
No google what so ever, you can install seperatly though.
Don't think theres internet calling.

Can't test GPS yet because i don't have TomTom install. Build Quality is very very good.
Camera much much better than Universal, very happy with it! I have bought a miniSDHC , and i ask the camera to store my pic there, set it to 3M pixel, with highest quality, times to store is like 1 sec, very very fast!
Even the front camera is better than the Universal Main Camera, and man, the screen is HUGE, so nice to take photo with this screen.

N93 is a good phone
but it isn't a pocket pc
the camera is 3.2 MP and Video Recording is very very good
the screen is not big but the quality is very good
and end phone if N Series is N95
that's Camera is so better than N93. it is 5 MP and Video Recording Quality is DVD
but my idea is athena is the best phone/pocket pc in the world now
sorry for my long post

Demo video of ICS leak

Hello everyone. I made a video earlier today to demonstrate the general functionality of ICS on the Note. This is Chainfire's repackaged Chinese leak (ZCLP1). CLICK HERE for the original thread. I have made some customizations for smoother operation. I thought it was going to be a 'short' video but turned out to be 40 minutes long. I have divided them in 3 parts. Feel free to check them out if your having doubts about installing the leaked ROM.
Edit. A fair warning, the videos are amateur at best.

No, I don't think I have any banding issues at all. I have attached an image posted by someone else here. It's a great way to find out if you have banding issues. You can try it with varying brightness and you'll definitely notice the issue if you have it. Btw, there is always going to be banding if you use anything that is black/grey on the LOCK SCREEN. This is not a display issue. I think the lock screen has a greyish transparency overlay that causes the banding. Other than that, it's pretty smooth sailing.

Thank yu so much for that imformative set of videos.
Does Samsung include Swype keyboard as an option with ICS as I did not see it listed in your video?
Also, have you had a chance to play with voice control at all? I wounder if Samsung\VLingo is going to be a part of ICS build for GNote and maybe they have made some much needed improvements to voice control on the GNote.
I have had a lot of inconsistency with Voice control over bluetooth with the current setup.
Again thanks for your work.

Samsung does not include swype with this build. However, you can always download it from the market. And thanks for mentioning voice controls, Claude! I tried it and works like a dream. And I have a little guide HERE if you would care to take a look. It has step-by-step instructions for getting the exact same thing you saw on the video on to your Note. Have fun flashing, Claude!
Thanks Acidburn89,
I will likely use your guide and go for it over the w/end. I have recently upgraded my rooted GNote to substancer's XLA6 Deoxed and zipaligned tweaked ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416192
with Vertumus' ICS Domination v1.1 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467985
and am playing with that combo for the moment, Rooted and all.
I hope I am not out of line or not being PC here (If so, let me know and I will change this reply) in giving links to other efforts on XDA.
Regarding voice control;
Is it very different in ICS than in GB?
Is it still Samsung Powered by VLingo?
I use Plantronics Voyager Pro+ BT headset and have come to resign myself that Voice Control via BT is not reliable at all, totally inconsistant in it's behavior for me. I push the BT button and sometimes VLingo responds that it is ready (after telling me the number of calls I miseed, etc. and sometimes it just tell me what I missed and then stops dead in it's tracks. I have to push the button again and start over. I could go on about this but I would be hijacking this thread. I hope that Voice Control prooved to be clearly better and decernably improved in ICS.
Thanks again for your info and efforts in helping the rest of us get a leg up on ICS.

In a community driven development forum, I don't think there is much politics to begin with. The voice control is not the vLingo one. I think this is the ICS
version of google voice. But it functions exceptionally well. Has a very siri-ish feel to it. I will try and post a video sometime soon.
Btw, I use a Sony Ericsson MW600 bluetooth stereo headset and it works perfectly fine.
Edit. I think it is called Google voice search and voice actions and not Google Voice. It does offer personalized voice recognition, so i am guessing it will only get better with more usage.
Thanks for the video!
I don't know why, but honestly, I felt kind of sleepy watching the video. hehe. Maybe you should be more active, or have a drink (alcohol) to cheer up while recording the review.
I had been using super smooth home screen navigation and convenient features of ICS on Nexus S, but recently upgraded to Galaxy Note. The Note's stock interface is sometimes kind of laggy though. I really hope Samsung releases ICS soon, but I'm also kind of worried they might be delayed just like all the other Android devices. Nexus S (AT&T version) still didn't even get an official ICS update.
Nice videos.. very informative mate... only watched part 1.. part 2 & 3 later....
Can you tell me which case are u using on the note?

My List!
@Intratech: Do you already have a retail unit of GS3? Lucky guy
My list (maybe some options repeated in previous posts):
+ How does the phone feel in-hand? Any particular build issues? Some previews mentioned that the phone looks much better than in press photos. Example here
+ Browser performance, also how is Chrome performance.
+ TW performance. Any slowdown or issues?
+ Details on gestures. I know that there are a ton of gestures, do they work properly?
+ Screen comparison to GS2. Sunlight visibility.
+ Please upload photos in full resolution under various lighting conditions. Same for short video samples. Maybe you could upload that in google drive.
+ Social tag feature in camera/gallery. I am really interested to know how well this works. They can create wonderful commercial with this feature.
+ AllShare Play (I think it works like iCloud). Samsung uploaded a video about that feature here
+ Audio/Video player settings and performance. I noticed that the video gallery shows the previews of all videos stored. Does it impact the performance of the device while showing previews of multiple video at same time?
+ Check various codec it supports.
+ USB OTG and PS3 controller demo.
+ Camera settings. I think we need 2 devices to check buddy share.
+ S Beam will also need 2 devices. Does normal Android Beam work with GNex?
+ If you are getting the AllShare Cast dongle, please check if I can play a video on the TV while doing something else on the phone. How does pop-up play work with the AllShare dongle?
+ Try weird questions in the S Voice. Maybe also some geography/history questions. Shoot some trivia questions. Try launching applications with S Voice. Can it be used to type messages/email?
+ GPS/GLONASS performance. WiFi strength.
+ Difference between 4 colour/screen modes.
+ Gaming performance projected to a HDTV.
+ Background applications running after a fresh reboot.
No I don't have a retail unit as yet. I will get it once it's released to retail

Well its gotten wet in the rain so far withou any adverse effect... Not going to submerge in water tho lol..
Its lacking tru call handling and notifications support at the moment. Doesnt quite 'integrate' with my note 2 just yet (running 4.3)... But i can seemlessly send pictures, apps, video via Bluetooth consistently without any issues. Wifi works 110% perfect.
As a watch its great... Just added GO locker for more variety. Its def for those gadget geeks who are really good with this kind of stuff

Well the watch itself is a phone.. And this is how its recognized via bluetooth. U can do file transfer and stuff but it doesnt really interface with your primary smart phone.... I believe they are still working on the application to make this possible. They appear to be doing things a little backwards

Can you tether it to a phone so you can use the phone's internet connection? This is something most smartwatches seem to be lacking, even though it should be included if the manufacturer doesn't mess with the software (i.e. removing that option intentionally)

I meant that it is lacking phone pair connectivity. Such as ; if you get a text the phone cannot notify you, or if you have a call coming in the watch will not notify you... this software doesn't exist yet. I have tried numerous apps on play store but no luck as of yet.

It's a 2 mega pixel camera... the quality isn't too bad overall... video quality is actually Very Good... i sent a video from the watch to my galaxy note 2 and the resolution was very surprising..... it was good. not too much distortion - The only thing is that the frame rate is less so you will noticing a little skipping vs a high quality galaxy note or s4 camera would take.. this is expected though.
Hey ,
Can you tell us if the watch has vibration?
Does it vibrate when you get a call or a sms/email?

Can you upload some sample images or videos please?
I really appreciate the effort of this watch's Chinese manufacturer. IMO, this watch is even better than all of the so-called "smart watch" on the market at the moment :good: (edit: especially the Galaxy Gear)

I can't tell you about the call as I have not put a sim card in it yet, but It does have vibration capabilities as it vibrates when you turn off the watch. The vibration is nice and strong.
thank you very much , you just made my day
I have just ordered it from chinavasion and got me to 179 including dhl shipping
My next question is about the battery , how much would it last for a wifi video call for example?

On my watch, The battery does drain pretty fast and it runs very hot. I am not sure if others here have the same problem, but I am about to play around with a Governor app too see if I can improve battery life/cool it down.

I thing i haven't tried is changing the governor to POWERSAVE while running the STOCK LAUNCHER.
Of course i'm on ADW EX launcher so it would be stupid to run powersave...

Good question. If it does have 3G, anyone tried hotspoting it yet? Would be great to be able to have a wrist hotspot.
Be nice to know if this chip set has a GPS bc navigation would be great if it is supported too.

Can we expect marshmallow soon?

Was reading this and given the note 5 ports thought it might not be long until we get a Samsung marshmallow n5 port for our n3?

I know there are 6.0.1 cm13 builds but I like using the stylus or at least having the option to, I might use it some day, you never know
I use CM13 and my pen... there are plenty of ways to get it working.

Oh, with pressure sensitivity? does the camera still work well? 60fps and so on?
Last time I checked there were just too many features from the Samsung roms missing.

The captured images won't be of same quality on CM like it is on TW ROMs. Forget about 60 fps, LOL. It's just the something is better than nothing approach, nothing else.

Yeah, I am talking about quality on a phone cam sensor. The quality difference is so much that even with naked eye, and even a dull headed person will notice the difference! And I am a DSLR guy by the way!
My biggest issue with CM is that there isn't a good multiwindow implementation yet. I know they're working on it (I think Google, could be CM, not entirely sure who exactly it is that's working on it), but the feature is still in early alpha. I can't use my phone without it. It's like not having a browser or a SIM card.

Same camera sensor quality, just no FPS changes currently available, thus far. I am a micro-4/3 guy by the way, but don't see the relevance to this post :silly::silly::silly:

Who was talking about camera sensor! Everyone knows software can't change the hardware sensor! Its the post processing that matters, and that's where TW will thump over any CM/AOSP any day, any time.

Sweet. Could you link to that specific website, though? I don't want to be that guy, but it would be nice just for quick verification reasons. I might send it to a tech news website then too.

I meant to the website where this chat function is implemented, just to be completely that it really is from Samsung. I understand that I can't see your conversation. I'm just curious to take a quick look at the page where the function is located.
