Samsung Intros 5-Inch (!) Galaxy Note Smartphone, 7.7-Inch Galaxy Tab

God it`s even bigger, I have seen the threads on a 4.5" but none on this 5"
Delete thread if old news.
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2392251,00.asp

I'm actually quite tempted.
I'm one of those oddballs who doesn't mind large devices, and that being the case its mostly positives from where I'm sitting (obviously will be too large for many to use as their day-to-day phone!).

that 7,7 Tab sure is nice but i just bought a GT10 some weeks ago so i wont be able to afford it
Maybe i can sell my tab and sgs2 and use this lol
Iam wondering how the Phone function will be implemented in the tab

I'm really tempted on the Note but what are its full specs? I already know about the screen but what are the rest?

all i've seen is a couple videos, i believe this is true:
dual 1.4 or 1.5Ghz
5.3 or 5.5 samold (Super HD) screen
stylus (wwoooohooooo !)
8MP rear cam
1.4MP front facing cam
2600Mah battery (wooooohoooooooooo!)
gsm and/or lte
it is a little big for a phone, a little small for a tab... but i think it is going to make some huge waves in the market. possibilities with a size like that are awesome.
things to hope for:
DLNA
hdmi-out
1Gb internal memory
microsd
dual sims
noise cancelling mics
GOOD GPS
awesome antenna
awesome battery life
i'm really looking forward to a long lasting device in STOCK FORM without a huge battery hanging off the back. we'll see if this comes through or not. i will be buying as soon as the early adopters confirm the bugs are minimal and livable. hope !
good job samsung

thanks, now I'm even more tempted now. I can't wait until they release this. Is there an estimated release date yet? I would sell my SGS2 for this.

What I discovered:
5.3 HD Superamoled
1.4 Ghz Exynos
1 Gbyte RAM
LTE and HSDPA
16/32 Gbyte versions
8 Mpixel rear / 2 Mpixel front cam
I am more than tempted. I want one now.

So is it a Super Amoled or Super Amoled plus screen, because I cannot stand pentile sub matrixes?

The 7.7 is Super AMOLED + & the Note is HD Super AMOLED I believe.

The Note has a pentile display.

The note and it's display is extremely nice, but I don't think I could fit a 5.3" phone into my pockets.

fascinating..

I'd LOVE this. Undoubtedly a late US release. Question is when til Espansys etc will have it?

Seems like this is more of a Tablet than a Phone, which kind of defeats the purpose IMHO (if it's actually released like that)
Linux Insider said:
While the Galaxy Note is an unusual size, it packs a strong set of features. As for whether it leans more toward being a phone or a tablet, it seems to favor tablet.
"I'll call it a tablet because it will not be supported for cellular voice," Chris Hazelton, research director for mobile and wireless at the 451 Group, told TechNewsWorld.
"It does support IP communications such as VoIP and Skype," he said. "It has a very good camera, a great processor, and a great screen. But it's hard not to compare it to Dell's (Nasdaq: DELL) 5-inch tablet, which has not gained much traction in the market."

Hi, I have find on google, the thinnest phone in the world, for now it is just dual core, but in few months in quad core and 2g ram !!!

and vs iphone 5 (7.6mm)
More rumours surrounding BBK’s Vivo X1s suggest the MTK phone will get a quad-core processor after all, but at an $80 price hike!
$480 is a lot of money to be spending on an Android smartphone, and when you begin looking at this lofty price bracket you rightly demand more for your money. This is why the 5-inch 1080, Oppo Find 5 made so many waves! At $500 is represents the best value for money 1080 phone currently on the market, and this is where Vivo are going to fall flat on their face!
Last year the Vivo X1 launched with dual-core MT6577 processor and thin 6.55mm body for $401, we thought it was far too expensive, you thought it was to expensive, and it seems Chinese consumers believe so too as I have only ever seen one out in public!
Still Vivo are not deterred by this and plan to launch an updated version of the X1 with dual-sim support and a more efficient quad-core MT6589 processor running at 1.2Ghz. The X1s, as the updated phone will be known, will get the same 720 HD display, 2GB RAM, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, 2000mAh battery and high-quality stereo audio all in the same super slim 6.55mm alloy body.
So have Vivo decided to lower the price of the X1s, or at least sell the phone at the same price as the X1 despite the updates? No, is the answer. The quad-core Vivo X1s is scheduled for release in April at the 2998 Yuan ($481), that ‘s 1 Yuan less the the Oppo Find 5 with 5-inch 1080 display, Snapdragon S4 and 13 mega-pixel camera!!
Come on Vivo what are you playing at?!

Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2

From what I can tell it's pretty sturdy in hand. And it's damn thin. Unfortunately the capacitive buttons at the bottom are not lit and the volume rocker is on the right. Both of these rathers bothers me and I need some time getting used to it. According to some, the battery is a 2000mah which is big for a phone this slim. Also has an led indicator on the top left of the phone. It id green, but idk if there are other colors.

Personally I don't understand the point of sacrificing battery capacity and internal specs for the sake of making the phone less comfortable to hold in hand.

not bad!!!

I've recently just ordered a Newman N2, to replace my ageing HTC Sensation XE, and was wondering whether anyone had any experience, views, opinions on this phone? As you can see from the specs below it is quite similar to the Samsung Galaxy S3. Importantly though it costs a lot less.
The reason I'm posting this on XDA is in hope that some developers will be interested in it and start to develop custom ROMs for this impressive budget alternative to the Samsung Galaxy S3.

I currently have this phone and I'm using the Loqi Rom (Android 4.1.1).
It is really fast and has a nice clean interface. A Cyanogenmod rom would make it fly very high...

That would be good. I'd love to see AOKP myself, as I'm currently running that on my HTC Sensation XE. I've tried lots of different ROMs, but I always come back to AOKP.

this phone currently is just a combination of great hardware and crappy medium firmware.
Buggy and unstable firmware which is annoying.
I hope there would be some awesome ppl who will create some better roms.

Totally agree. If someone can create a solid ROM, then this phone will be amazing. Especially when compared to the similarly spec'd Samsung Galaxy S3, which costs a whole lot more.

There is no CM for the P5000, and the P5000 comes prerooted from Elephone, or you can easy root it with iRoot.
CM11 is just comming out for the P6000 soon, it will be a while before we will see CM12 (if ever) for any china phone.

Stacks up well if I must say so, though I feel lg could have added bigger battery. The 3000 did not stack up fully with the lg 3, by the sound of it...not with lg g4 either. Sammy got better battery management there for sure.
But hey, with every negative come with a possitive...lg got battery ram management on the g4 and we will be seeing that with the v10.
