galaxy note 5 confirmed to be announcing in 13 august this year and it will sure having a new interface touchwiz skin of course it will be much better than the s6 many features it will add like
1-enhanced pen applications
2-updated camera application
and many things enhanced but with removing deal breaker features like sd card and also a fixed battery
q1- will u upgrade to note 5 all the way without caring about removing features ?
q2-or you will just find xda note 5 roms and flashed and staying in note 3 ?
i will not update simply because the newer phones dont give me more usability than my note 3. i dont need more power since my note 3 runs pretty fluently with costum rom/kernel and the only things thats get better are the cameras buuuuuuut not as much as they have to make me changing my current phone.
for the rom ports. lets wait and see. devs doing a really awesome job so far porting newer touchwiz versions
Even if i would buy a note 5 i would flash an aosp rom ? So i gonna stick another year with my note 3. Android M will come for sure (cm13)
The deciding factor for me at least will be which battery rumor turns out correct. We still don't know if it's a 3000 mAh or a 4100 mAh unit (we ALL hope it's the latter, I guess ).
If it's a 4100 mAh, with the Exynos 7420 inside the thing will be able to last two days and I'll really consider it.
If the 3000 mAh rumor turns out to be true, well, I'll keep my Note 3 till the Nexus 5 (2015) comes out. There was a leaked AnTuTu bench result which downright smashed everything else on the table which suggests the Snapdragon 820 inside.
So, if I have to have a crappy battery life, I prefer it in pure AOSP package.
Wether I upgrade or not depends on three things:
MicroSD slot
CPU/GPU combo
mAh.
If it comes without a MicroSD, everything else is irrelevant. I will not buy it. I have a 128GB MicroSD that's completely full with films and series.
Spare me the mentions of the cloud, try living next to the border for a while, or use public transport in a mobile deadzone for 6 hours a day, see if you still think the cloud is an option.
And anyone who mentions that the MicroSD is slow, and how 'amazingly fast' internal memory is: It's not meant for apps, you muppet.
If it does come with a MicroSD slot, then an Exynos is still a no-go for me. Ditto for any mAh rating below or on par with the 3200mAh of my Note 3.

God I hope so... Exynos is pure crap wrapped up in a layer of sheer rubbish. Especially the Mali GPU that comes with it.... I will never buy an Exynos device again.
An S820 would be perfect.
But then there's this.... IF this is true, then anyone buying the Note 5 is an idiot, when the Note 4 is a far superior device that is far less expensive.

My bad, I didn't complete my sentences.
The Note 5 will have Exynos only, the monstrous AnTuTu bench had the name Nexus 5 (2015) in it.

Bummer.
I did spot a report on the S820 being tested, though. Note 6, anyone?
It's bad note 5 doesnt had sd card slot and removeable battery :/
I would rather buy saygus v2.... Then note 5 or s6 edge +...... Samsung going down in mobile....
Its either note 6, or no note user further... Looks like samsung took note users for granted.... Let samsung face it.. Bye bye samsung...

Aparently they're also releasing a dualSIM Note 5 where the second SIMslot doubles as a MicroSD slot. (According to Sammobile). And that's just for China.
I'll keep saying it, chances are we'll see a Note5+ with a Snapdragon 820 and MicroSD slot for Europe once the S820 becomes available.

Which device are you coming from ?
It really seems a great piece of device with good hardware, great specifications, dual sim support among others.
The only reason that I am still weighing this device over lg G4 (about 200$ expensive) is the price.
G4 has to offer these but it all comes to what I need in my phone?
Do I really need a great camera, NFC for payments, wireless charging, Quick charge (30 minutes for 60% charge compared to 2 hours ten minutes for full charge), a removable battery and expandable memory ? Also, the screen pixel density and results are great for LG G4 where screens are a bit dim/ yellowish for some Xiaomi devices.
However, no SDcard and non removable battery seems a bit of deal breaker for this device. Also, i am not a really big fan of MIUI and their reluctance to release source code which makes it difficult for development.
I might get this device in a month as I am still deciding my options between this, Lg G4, and Moto X Style.
You got a point there!
I wonder how the battery life performs on the Xiaomi, also the site i provided has a great deal on that device, thats why i am considering it and i just got a new motherboard that supports usb type c
I'm wondering how network performance will be.. So used to tmobile LTE speeds

I've got a Mi4 that has a 5" 1080p screen with a 3080 battery. Battery life on this phone is pretty amazing. So I would expect the Mi4C to be just as good or better. Getting 5-6 hours SOT is not a problem. I'm usually at 3 SOT at 50-60% battery.

It's not that bad and it's definitely usable. LTE is nice due to the no latency when transferring data. But the speeds of HSPA+ are plenty for everyday things such as streaming music, web browsing, emails, GPS, etc.

The 4C would work fine on T-Mobile. You would just get 3G/HSPA+.

Now would a Xiaomi device work with Android Wear? How about android pay
Yes !
Interesting..
Gearbest says the mi 4c has "External memory: TF card up to 32GB (not included)"
http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_241903.html
Does that mean one of the sim car slots could be micro sd?

It will work with Android Wear. I've used it with both my Mi3 and Mi4 when I had my GWatch. You just have to give it the correct permissions in MIUIs permission manager. Also, texts didn't work that well, but it's nothing a 3rd party app like Evolve SMS didn't solve.
You'll probably have issues with Android Pay as the Mi4C doesn't have NFC [emoji6] . I believe only the Mi3 has NFC.

oh, thought it had nfc.. thats kinda a bummer though
Yeah, I wish it had NFC too, but I've been with my Mi4 long enough that it doesn't really bother me. I am seriously debating this phone over the upcoming Nexus phones.

According to the Xiaomi official website, Mi 4c doesn't support TF cards.

Same here. NFC is also my concern...I have already converted to other phones now.
camera
i am little worry about camera . sample photos of Sony's sensor looks great.but i am not sure about the Samsung sensor! how can i trust and get this one. its really perfect phone specially when you considering the price. but i am still don't know what i have to do because camera is important to me .

Well in terms of specs, it beats the Nexus 5X, more ram, battery and has ir blaster. Hopefully camera is good. They both have snapdragon 808 CPU so hoping it gets good ROM support. I'm gonna get this over the disappointing nexus 5x
i bought mine from geekbuying should arrive in 2 days will post feedback!

Hello everyone, don't know if this is right thread but seems like a general discussion, please move if it is wrong place.
Tried to analize what can i buy at the moment but you know.... i already spent around 8 hrs digging and brain started to overheat So maybe i can get some advices from community to save some time.
What i need: Descent all rounder, i think i would like smaller/lighter phone, but i never had big one so i don't really know... I don't know if i really need very powerful phone, but i can afford 50EUR difference to get more powerful version to be more future-proof. I can play with firmwares, but after some time it get's boring I don't think if i need a lot of storage, but again, files get bigger and bigger, so maybe if i'll have it i'll use it. I could spend ~250 total, but more into ~220 max (taxes and VAT included). i really don't feel like spending a lot of money on something i can break, loose or drop...
What i discovered that seems interesting to me:
1. Xiaomi Mi4c 3/32GB SD 808 version, i can get it to my country, it is EU for 215EUR total.
Pros i see: 5" as i really don't know do i need a big phone, using Lumia 735 now. removable battery (as i do not like buying new phone every year, so if it will be ok in 2 years i just replace battery and keep using it)
Cons: There is thread here that multitouch don't work properly. Dont' know any other, i just jumped into search and just' don't know what is trending.
2. Meizu M1 Metal 2/32 Helio X10 ~220 EUR
Pros: Seems to be more powerful?
Cons: non-removable battery, too big? I really don't know about big phone
2. Redmi Note 3 Pro with SD
Pros: Very powerful, SD slot aviable
Cons: non removable battery, size (again), camera
To compare prices locally i can get: Alcatel Idol 3 4,7 version ~200EUR. LG G3 D855 Titan ~260EUR, Samsung Galaxy A3 A300F 220 EUR, XPERIA M4 AQUA 220 EUR to have an idea.
Appreciate any advice from experienced community!

Hi, so I wasn't sure where should I post this thread, so I decided I'll post it here and the moderators'll move it if need to.
OK so I'd like to get suggestions for a new phone. Requirements:
1. Mid-range (around 200$)
2. Expandable storage (or enough internal storage)
3. REMOVABLE BATTERY (important, for some reason I simply can't find one)
4. Good value for money (in terms of specs- camera, performance, etc)
5. 5-5.2 inch screen.
I know I'm very specific, but I really need this phone for my mom, so I'd love to receive any help possible (and sure Chinese phones are also acceptables, but not with some weird os like Nubia OS )
For example, phones that were almost-there but missed the necessary features- Xiaomi Redmi 3, Oneplus X, Xiaomi Mi4C. (mostly the phones I find lack removable battery, but this is the most important one so I can't accept them).
Thanks ahead for any help!

p.s i've already orderd a 3800mah battery , same capacity of mi mix 3 5G version
battery it's huge and will make the phone hard to handle also it's not coming from known manafacturer and i saw a bad reviews about it
The mi mix 3 5g has slightly different dimensions than the 4g variant
