[Q] Samsung Galaxy S6 G920F vs Xiaomi Note Pro - General Questions and Answers

Hello
I am an owner of Samsung Galaxy S6 G920F.
To be honest I'm not satisfied with a 550€ phone which is very expensive for the following reasons:
Multi-Tasking: I noticed that if I open 4 apps the 1st app reloads if I switch to it
Notification Icons disappeared: Even if Samsung released a fix for it
Battery sucks
No MHL support, I have to purchase a Miracast/Chromecast dongle
It gets hot when I open a game
I am completely satisfied and impressed with:
Camera
Fingerprint scanner
Should I switch to a Xiaomi Note Pro ?

Xiaomi Note Pro also gets hot when u use any high performance game / application, though it cools down really fast. is that a big issue?

Your Title should be I have bought a Galaxy S6
The International version of the S6 and S6 Edge don't have an alphabetic sorting option, the USA variants do. You can use Apex or Nova for the customisation options.
Most Note users wouldn't downgrade to the S-Line anyway. The S6 is aimed at Non-Samsung users, not us. We're using a Note for the Spen and the big screen. Neither of which can be found on the S6.

Exactly this. I come to the end of my contract and have the option of getting the S6 but the only reason I would get it is to sell it again for nice profit. Note 3 running 5.1 (Temasek) is perfect for me... a Note 5 Edge might tempt me away.
Honestly, a qHD display is hardly noticeable on the S6, plus battery life would suck....
basicly

Umm, no. The S7 will be a small Note 5. Not the other way around.
Don't really expect great upgrade to Note 5....
Coz from my observation: Note 3 is based on S4, only the SoC is different.
Note 4 is based on S5.
From what samdung offer to S6, I don't really expect big thing with Note 5...
Note 3 is more than best in my opinion.
I use the crappy Exynos version, I might buy another Note 3 with the Snapdragon version instead of upgrading to Note 5.
I really hope Samsung keep the expandable storage and removable battery with the Note 5. If not, its no big deal but it would make a lot of difference when it comes to decision between the LG G Note or the Note 5. LG have come a long a way from their older devices....very powerful influence in the mobile tech world, severely underrated.

The Note 4 is reaction to user complaints from the backslash they got from the ugly S5. Note 4 - metal, not polycarbonate. The S6 is based on the Note 4, and the Note 3 is way more angular than the S4 to bear any resemblance.
Otherwise, the N9005 is great, Samsung stepped up their SoC game only recently with the last two Exynos processors.

Not the design, I mean the features included like sensors and smart-software....
And by minor upgrade I mean: only screen res and SoC is upgraded, nothing more...

Which phone to BUY?!

Hello folks,
In 3 weeks i am able extend my phone contract and i will receive a brand new phone with it.
Now i am in a huge dilemma because i can't choose between some phones. I've listed them below and i know they all have pro's and con's.
I am a huge fan of flashing custom ROMs, taking and editing some pictures and videos every now and then, playing games like GTA 5, Hearthstone etc. streaming movies to my Chromecast on my current device which is an HTC One m7.
Personally i am strongly leaning towards the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, but my question is; which of the phones below would you choose and why?
Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
LG G4
ASUS Zenfone 2
Oppo R7
ELEPHONE P7000
Huawei P8

I got the chance to play around with the GALAXY S6 Edge personally and I think it was a fabulous phone
I have the Note 4, but if I didn't have a phone i'd go for the S6 edge.
Despite the curved screen I was able to hold it in my hands very comfortably, and the edges sort of brought a "wide" viewing experience. (Not to mention it just feels very unique as if you are not limited by 4 bezel edges).
The speed, sounds, and elements of the phone felt great too
The only down side (coming as a Samsung user) for me is the non removable back which was traded in favor of very high quality build material (Glass and aluminum).
I highly recommend it.
I am unsure of other phones.

[Q] Which is more future proof S5, Z2, G3, Note3, or Zenfone2 ?

Hi all
I want to buy an android phone and its not my first one i had SXP neo L before along time ago
Im a student and the best devices that i can afford are SXP Z2 , Galaxy S5 , LG G3 32GB , Galaxy Note 3 N9005 (snapdargon version) , Zenfone 2 (4gb ram 2.3 ghz version)
these devices are all great pros and cons problems they all have one but i want a device with a fair developement status and i want to keep it for 2 years i want a device which will work properly for 2 years until i upgrade
(before you answer you have to know i play games alot i want to watch movies i scan documents with my phone so camera is important)
can someone explain to me briefly which device is more future proof ? (is 64bit hardware important in my case ? is more than 2gb ram necessary for me?)
which device i can sell with higher price between these (after 2 years) ?
if your overall choice is S5 which version ? Exynos Octa or Snapdragon ?
Thank you , I would appreciate any comment.
(if you have other suggestions feel free to leave a comment like other devices ,Nexus 5 ...)
Save up your money and get the note 4. You won't be disappointed. The gear vr is the coolest gaming I've ever done. The S5 is a good choice as well.
Sent from my SM-G925T using XDA Free mobile app
As an S5 owner who's extensively used the G3 and Note 3, I recommend either the G3 or Note 3. The G3, in the shortest amount of words possible in my opinion, is an S5 with a better Android skin.
I think, for someone who wants to use their phone for videos and other multimedia applications, the Note 3 is definitely your best option due to the screen size, which also
allows for more processing and battery power.
That said, if you're interested in being able to mod your phone in a fashion that doesn't make you bend over backwards in order to do it, stay away from the Samsungs.
With regards to "futureproofing," if you really want a phone that will hold its value over time, buy an iPhone. All of these flagships will likely be supported by their mfgs for a couple years after their release. Each will get at least Android M, albeit up to 6-7 months after its release (LG is usually better about quick updates than Samsung). I have no experience with the Zenfone, unfortunately.
According to your choices I would suggest you to go for G3 . I have my hands on G3, S5, Note 3 and I like G3 because of its performance and camera clarity, Note 3 is also good. But my overall experience was good with G3.

Rooting Samsung Note 3 (if so ROM Recommendations?) vs Buying Samsung Note 5?

I'm looking to find a solution for my phone - it's a SN9000 Samsung Note 3 by Rogers, and it's been acting really nasty the last 5 months - super slow, laggy, battery life is crap (I bought new ones too!).
Now I'm debating which route I should go - do I root the Note 3? or Do I just buy a Note 5? I'm not really blown away by the Note 5 to be perfectly honest, and feel that maybe a Rom or two could significantly improve my phone's performance to what I would expect from a Note 5? - Am I off in my thinking here?
I'd love some advice on the matter!
TYA!
i got a note 3 samsung sometimes arrive at 87 degrees
,don´t know what to do what do may change for another rom what do you recomend please thanks

Will Samsung release a new 8 inch tablet like the Tab E with Note 8 features?

My first tablet that I owned was an Ipad..... Big mistake. I can't stand the Apple dictatorship on apps and control over the device. Then I got a Note Pro 12.1. It was great until the battery kept overheating and samsung would never admit to a faulty battery or anything on that tablet. Then I moved to a Tab E.
The Tab E seems rock solid, no issues, etc. Mine is wifi and 4G. But the screen is crappy (low quality), there is no S Pen.
I feel there is a large market for an 8 inch Android Tablet with the note 8 features..... High def/4k screen, S Pen, etc. But nothing from Samsung. It would also be nice to have 128gb internal storage with the card slot, etc.
Has anyone heard of a tablet refresh from Samsung?
