Hello guys,
I'm thinking of buying the phone, it seems to be a good deal. but little worried about overall support.
also could not find any accessories like screen protectors or cases or skins.
Are there anything made for this phone yet?
Also is it possible to use case and screen protectors made for other phones (similar size/design).
Please share your experience.
Thanks.
Hi,
i had the phone for more than 2 months now, and my experience with it is so good so far and i'm happy with it, for me mainly is for quick updates
i receive security updates monthly, and android n will be received on time i hope
battery is good (almost 4 hours of screen on)
screen is good
sound is loud
headphones are perfect (same shape and i think same as LG V10)
charging is fast
usb-c converter is included, which make it easier since usb-c is not spread well yet
camera is good for me, probably not for pros
flash with selfie camera is nice
texture is nice and the shape overall is good
there are some little hiccups in the system every now and then
the only problem i couldn't find explanation for yet, is when i play heavy games (asphalt 8 or so) wifi stop seeing the network, so i play it on 3g. this is the only problem for me
processor is medium for gaming
other than that, if you're buying it for anything else (except gaming and camera) it's the best you can find for its price
overall review is 9/10
one problem my friend had with his phone, that the charge stops at 50%, the problem is not solved yet
don't know yet about service centers
for accessories there are a good number of different accessories for the mobilbe, at least through internet
Hello! I have the phone for one month now and I buy accessories at AliExpress. You can find decent prices for decent quality.
GM 5 plus accessories
what about buying original accessories? i bought several different c-type cables and chargers and none of them charged phone properly! charging taking too long and the battery runs off fast. with the original everything is opposite, fast charge and goes off slowly..but the problem is that you can't reach and buy the original accessories over the internet..only in the stores by going there, and a year has past that I have this phone and still nothing happened about this..great phone except the accessories reaching..
can you link me some cases, plz ?

I think this is just a placeholder, but good to know they'll be coming ...

Good price, but as much as I would like the extra time, this thing is bound to look very, very ugly. But I would love to be wrong.
i'm willing to try it out if they are really available
however that website looks rather dodgy, i'll much rather pick one up from ebay than from then.
there are a lot of bad stuff in ebay, but there are also good ones if you know how to look.
if the 2400mAh starts popping out on ebay, then you know it's real, but for now the only ones listed on ebay are just the regular 1500mAh
lol the phone looks ugly with it...
buying the galaxy s because it is less than 1cm big and extending the battery so it become 2cm big ....
yep, I definitely wouldn't order from that website - but makes me wonder if they already know the likes of Mugen or Seidio are going to produce a 2400mAh version.
phone getting ugly is price paid for doubling/tripling battery life. so long as it remains comfortable in the hand and fits in my pocket i'm mostly looking at the screen on the SGS anyway ...
i'll rather 2 extra battery packs to keep the phone in its normal size instead.
if you wear jeans or carry a briefcase/backpack, 2 small batteries can fit anywhere.
even if you are on a date, you can slip 1 in in your front pocket
looks like samsung added a bunch of accessories for the galaxy and vibrant to their accessories page
here's one for that desk charging dock w/spare battery (battery included) for $50
http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...ype=acc_detail&subsubtype=chargers&returnurl=
You're right, looks like they've even added new back panels that'll fit the Galaxy S! Looks promising.

Daymm 5000 :|.
there is another model with 2000mAh, cheaper
i don't think those are compatible with the SGS i9000
There are not spare batteries, more something like portable wireless chargers... You can connect your usb-microusb to that and it will recharge your phone...
In the past ten years I have always seen business men have either two phones, or an extra battery or two. Mind you, original batteries are the only way to go. Second-rate Class-A batteries tend to lost proper functionality within 3-6 months of constant use. Also factor in the explosion ratio.

Hi, first post on xda, gotta say great forum for android devices. Anybody got any news on extended batteries, want to get my hands on a 3000+mah. Checked google but nothing at all regarding batteries for the SGS.
Thanks.

Thanks, Great find.
Great to know. Thanks.
Hello everyone this is my review on the extra battery or replacement battery for you Samsung Galaxy S5. Thus battery is made by NOOT products and is available for 10 bucks on Amazon. Also free 2 day shipping is your a amazon prime member. Ok enough of plugging amazon on ti the real deal how did it work because we have all seen that great deal for 3 batteries and a charger for our phone for 15 bucks. The problem is they barely workif tthey work at all. Nm
Now there are they new fancy named companies witha ssimilar deal but someiof them even suck. Have no fear I already did the testing here NOOT products (Atleast there batterie, have nnot tried anything else yet) are the real deal. I have 3 Galaxy S5's in my house and we all have at least 2 back up batteries and we all use NOOT because they work as good as the OEM ones. I'm not just saying it to plug NOOT I could care less just your friendly XDA product reviewer (Just starting on here but have been for a while). I love my gadgets for my phones so I buy everything I think is cool for my phone or tablet. So I figure I can spend a few minutes and tell my XDA family member about my latest add on to my phone gadgets. I will tell it like it is good or bad. I will be posting several other on stuff I have already been using so is you been thinking about buy a glass screen protector or a wireless charging Back or card wait a day and read my next reviews.
Thanks
Any questions please ask.

For $10 you can't really go wrong with the very quick shipping from Amazon and an emergency backup battery.
I like it so far although it died on me at %30 once

I got them when they were on sale for $5 dollar with a promo code a while back. They work really well, I say about 80 to 90% of the oem time capacity, which was good for the price.
However on a hot afternoon, i left a battery inside my car ... the battery expanded (got fat) and won't fit in the phone anymore.

This. Apparently I have the most helpful favorable review on amazon for it right now, and while I liked the battery when it still worked, I need to edit my review on there as my battery has also gotten fat. It's weird though because I didn't leave it in my car or anything. Battery worked fine for about a month and a half and then all of a sudden it started dying really quick once it reach 30-40%. After several days the battery life started getting shorter and shorter until it didn't even last me 2 hours. Pulled off the back cover and I realized it was getting fatter. I also got it when it was just $5, so I shouldn't really complain, but I contacted the company twice about a replacement (since the product comes with a warranty). They haven't gotten back to me yet and it has been over a month since. Kinda frustrating that their customer service is so lame. Other than that I thought the battery was a good replacement for the price. I've since ordered backups from Caseology on amazon and they seem to work just as well as the Noot one when i first got it.
So ive been using my note 4 for a while and its been serving me well, however playing clash of clans ive had to charge it twice a day and the original battery doesnt hold that very well as it used to,
And with the newly announced Note 5 being meh, i don't think im gonna switch phones anytime soon. however id like to change the battery on this one.
im wondering if anybody could recommend any genuine source of OEM batteries for cheap, doesnt matter if they are pulled outta new phones or the likes , as long as they are genuine ( and probably cheap) looking to buy a couple.
There are many on ebay but most have mixed reviews so could not conclude, oh and i do not want an extended battery, fast charging has made life quite easy for me so it isnt on the charger all day.
I've been using anker batteries from Amazon and they perform as well as OEM. It comes with battery chargers too, so I always have 2 fully charged extra when needed.

Thanks for your suggestion, looking for the oem batteries only . any reliable source ?
have you registered your note 4? I got a 50% off coupon for accessories under $50 and just bought a replacement straight from samsung
Battery and dock
Oem battery and charging dock from samsung 49.99 at best by
I totally understand not wanting a 3rd party one. Even the good ones aren't extremely accurate. Amazon has one I bought last year (oem and not counterfeit) for $20. Works great. I'd recommend buying it directly from the first source and not 3rd party for cheaper. That's when some folks occasionally run into trouble.

Also, your cell carrier can provide replacements if you have a extended warranty/insurance for no charge. I just got one from T-mobile because mine finally failed. I rough on batteries. I only had to pay for shipping. If all else fails or your uncomfortable with that and have the extra... Grab the charger plus battery deal from Samsung directly. You get a new battery and have an extra (old one) for a backup with no pain of leaving phone on charger. Very handy! Good luck!

This... As well. I got the Samsung protective case with mine. I have 4 other cases and this one is by far the best. Very thin and it even looks like there is no case to most users. Has a decent lip to protect the screen somewhat and bumpers on the corners. Highly recommended
I've just bought a used N910F and wanted to get myself some spare batteries and an external charger. I've just moved up from a Note 3 and previously, an S3 LTE and had multiple batteries for both, with external chargers and I'd like to get the same for the Note 4.
I'm based in the UK and so I'm somewhat limited to what products I can get hold of. I'd like to get one of the Samsung external charger but I was wondering - as these are just running from the mains charger that you're using to charge the phone, is there any issue buying one of the non-Sammy, generic ones? I'd assume that the charger takes care of any overcharging issues - is that correct? If anyone has a link to any cheap genuine Samsung units, I'd be very pleased to have a look. I found one for £30 at Amazon, but it's a 1-3 month wait!
As for spare batteries, I've always gone for the Anker batteries and found them pretty good, and it's looking as though that's the only option for me at the mo - Amazon have them for £14 shipped where as the Powercell units are over £18. Any genuine ones for around £20? I'm not about to waste my money on the ebay cheapies!
Thanks for your time guys! :fingers-crossed:
Amazon buy anker,mpj,etc
I just recently purchased a standard Samsung battery from Amazon - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00VIK5DOY
Although there are cheaper options, I made sure that I selected the one that was sold by Amazon themselves on the basis that they are very unlikely to sell fakes - the one I got for £10.63 with next day delivery on Prime certainly seems genuine to me.

Thanks for getting back to me with an actual product. How is the battery holding up? I'm really happy with the Anker one I bought - I'm getting about 1.5 days of moderate use and 5+ hours of SOT between charges. I don't use NFC at the mo so I don't know if this supports it, but as things stand I'd be happy to get another one or two. Does anyone know how to tell if theses "genuine Samsung" batteries are indeed, genuine? I remember reading up on it when I had the Note 3 and it was really tricky visually.
What about these external chargers - anyone had any experience of the non-Samsung ones?

The battery works fine for me, and is a definite improvement on the tired genuine battery it replaced.
Well, I've bought, what's labelled as a "genuine samsung extra battery kit". It's currently charging the enclosed battery in the external cradle. I'll try it in the phone to check if the NFC works to be sure that the battery is a genuine Sammy one, but any ideas on how to check the charging cradle?
Just bought a replacement battery direct from the Samsung UK site - £25 but worth it for the peace of mind. Free delivery.
EDIT: Ordered at 5:00pm, it's now the next morning and my battery has arrived - great speed for free delivery! (Now, if only Samsung could get their firmware updates out as fast!)
EDIT: Genuine Samsung packaging (with the window on the front of the box, and a plastic container for the battery) and manufacture date of last month, so fresh off the assembly line
I've just charged up the battery that came in the "kit". Appearance wise it looks identical (but dont most of them?!) but I just tried it with NFC and that worked - I thought the fakes didn't have the NFC chip - or have some of them started adding it or have I just got a genuine one for a really good price?!

Where did you buy it from?
i all,we just launch Huawei watch 1 ,watch 2,Huawei fit charger on amazon,we need review in USA and UK,the charger will be free.
If you are interest,please post me or contact my email: [email protected] thank you.
Im interested. I send you a mail
interested, but i live in Austia. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hi,
I've replied but you've not sent me any details.
I got my UK Huawei watch 2 this week.
This Watch 2 charger is live now on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0716BDLHF
Price is decent! I'll post a review once I receive the charger. Oh, and Eunice promptly sent me the equal amount for what I paid for the charger.
Update: Just received the charger from Amazon.
I was provided this charger to evaluate and review.
Very well made and seems to work well. I do prefer the color black as it more compliments the Huawei Watch 2. The magnetic attachment to the watch seems as strong or stronger than the original white Huawei charger. The cable is just at 36 inches in length and the stress relief at the charger seems strong.
From Brasil
I got my charger in the mail and man I have to say I feel like it is OEM quality. It is like an exact replication of the factory charger and could not be more happy. Really glad they chose black as it matches most my furniture including the watch. Eunice and team did an amazing job. I have a couple of pictures. Been using it the last 3 days and works perfect does not come with charging block so have a backup if this is a secondary charger for the office.
Link to purchase your own.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0716BDLHF
still no supplier for the UK??
no shipping to France, so bad.......
And Germany
I received mine as well and Eunice was very quick to pay me for the charger. Thank you Eunice!
So far it feels as good as the one provided by Huawei and like others mentioned the black color seem to be better with the color of the watch. I will use for a few more days before providing feedback on amazon.
I have also recently received this item, which if you are from the UK, you can buy it here :
Huawei Watch 2 charger,Portable Replacement Cradle Charger for Huawei Smart Watch 2(Black) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0716BDLHF/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_bkdszb97TYC6D
As I said, I'm from the UK and received the item very quickly. This is a superbly made product. When compared to the original in terms of build it is very well made. The added bonus is the fact that it is black which complements the watch and as many say looks much better than the white version. There is no difference in terms of charging times, so it really is a no brainer if you need a spare charger (and we all do these days), to go for this product.
If anyone has any questions, let me know.

Thanks for the link. Purchased from amazon last week and very happy with the quality and price. Vital to have a spare charger especially as I tend to charge my watch at least once a day. And the black charger looks a lot better than the white. Definitely recommend
just found it
great. I am buying one now
can i use this for previous model?
Hi There, I'm interested. In the UK and received my Watch 2 yesterday and I'd be happy to review this for you
Many Thanks
Hello, I'm interested and I'm from Spain. Please let me know if you need testers here.
