More a "tour" than a review. There are two kinds of testing, objective and subjective. The latter is more opinion which that video is. I want to see how S-835 and Exynos 8955 compare to each other and their predecessors, how the new Mali and Adreno GPU's stack up, how the new camera's compare to their predecessors and others on the market, battery life and charging time, and brightness and energy use of the new displays. GSMArena, Anandtech, and Notebookcheck are the best at those types of objective tests and they use the same battery of tests consistently across all the devices they test.
Here's Notebookcheck's early hands-on...

Same one for me too (exynos version here though so hopefully can be rooted)

Going to go with the silver version. Felt like a change from the always dark colors, and it might not show fingerprints as badly.

I got stuck behind a fraud alert and now T-Mobile hasn't charged again it's been 2 days should I cancel and order thru Samsung site? I did pay the phone in full well I was going to if it went through hahaha. Whatcha guys think ?

Or you wait three days from when you would have received your pre-order and go in to a T-Mobile store and pick it up there. The pre-order frenzy in the T-Mobile thread is farcical. In two weeks anyone (in the U.S.) who wants a S8 can have one. The amount of energy and time being consumed by some people to get the phone a couple of days ahead of launch seems kind of odd. The irony is, at least with the Note7, AT&T'rs got their phones via FedEx before 95% of T-Mobile'rs got theirs via UPS. And the latter had tracking numbers days earlier. To each their own.

Did they say how long it would take for them to re charge your card? I see people placing orders today and have already been charged and also have shipping labels.

Sorry but it's not a great review. The amateurishness of this guy is evident when he says that the samsung chip is even better than Apple's A10 fusion chip. Also adds a sardonic "sorry apple fans"
Obviously this guy is a novice. Because any reputable You tuber knows and as seen in many videos,the iphone 7 plus wipes the floor with Samsung Galaxy S8. He sounds like a very obvious paid reviewer for Samsung.
Don't get me wrong. I have preordered the S8+. But let's be real here. In terms of sheer performance and optimization, no one can touch the iphones.

Lovely looking phone, but serious build issues involving where the horizontal speaker grills meet the screen. A lot of them (both the ones I had and also the three ive seen in my local shops) seem to have this raised screen/sharp cutting edge issue in the top left.
Also there were some superficial things I didn't like - the large bezel, the slightly awkward capacitive layout etc etc.
Anyway excited about giving the s4 a go. Anythings gotta be better than my old 4s.
Wow thats too bad for HTC haha

Just tried the HTC One and the build quality while it is amazing the phone has nothing particular making me hyped... The display is sharp but faded. Maybe I've been using amoleds too much? The phone isn't comfortable to hold for long periods of time because of its sharp edges and the demo was already scratched in the back...

When I went in to pre-order my S4 I played with the HTC One display unit there, they had only had it out for a day or two...and the back was super scratched up it looked like someone used it without a case for a few years. The iPhone 5 demos there didn't look anywhere near that bad so I'm not sure what's up with their aluminum.
However I thought the screen looked great and I really loved the feel of the phone in my hands with that curved back. I'm hoping I get that premium feel with the S4 too.
(I actually switched from the HTC One X to the Galaxy S3 and maybe was one of the few, but I honestly liked the feel of the S3 more)
To stay on track: Got my email at 9:13 am. Phone has shipped and I'll be getting it on 4/25!
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous

Going Crazy over in the US!!

After seeing people from other countries receive their Note 3, I am getting so anxious for my phone to ship out. Why couldn't everyone just get it at the same time? AUGH!! THis is a pointless thread, but I've honestly read all the threads regarding any type of shipping/preordering/inside leaks 3 times a day for the past 2 weeks. LOL. And I just want to write something and vent. Ha

Right there with you! Freaking out today haha.
I hear you guys lol i'm trying to find a best buy dumb enough to sell it early and checked verizon stores in person anyway
Its better than the six month wait it used to be for galaxy one and two
I was completely fine waiting until the 2nd. Then T-Mobile listed the estimated shipping date as the 24th. I got my hopes up despite my best effort not to, and now I'm checking my email/bank account/t-mobile site every five minutes for an update like a mad man.
Checked my preorder status twice today!!! ugh this sucks!! i just want it now! my bionic is killing me!
^_^
Come be anxious with the rest of us! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456404
I'm right with the OP, I was ok waiting (kind of) until all the over-seas post of people receiving their Note III's.
I had the Sprint Note II up until 3 months ago when I switched to T-Mobile. I knew the Note III would be out within a few months so I could not see buying another Note II for a few months so I bought a Nexus 4 to hold me over. I miss the Note!!!
I think I'm going to try to stay off xda for the next few days...Yea right!!!
Ship the phone already!!!!

Super anxious here too! Got rid of the HTC One after being quite disappointed by the battery life. It went from fully charged to dead over the period of a football game the other weekend. Reverted back to the Galaxy Nexus that I've had for a while. Even after being rooted the Nexus has just degraded in performance and the power button only works when sternly pressed in the upper portion.
Ready for an upgrade out of necessity!

I can wait a few more weeks. I could get one "now" but I am holding off, like I did when the Note1 came out.
Bless the early adopters, but I'm lazy...I don't want to wait a month or more for a sure fire root/rom/hack to come
out to use some of my programs that require root. You early adopters make it SO MUCH EASIER :good: for someone
like me that has reached the point in their life, they just want to unbox it, set it up, root it and be done with it.
I plan on ordering something around Halloween. By then, a solid root/hack/fix for any issues that develop should
be in place. :victory:
AT&T should be shipping mine early next week (10/1 or 10/2). Should have in time for my birthday on the 5th! Cant wait!

Got my Note 3 Today...

First Impressions...
1. It's very light. For such a big device it feels so light in the hand.
2. The battery life is VERY STRONG.
3. I'm surprised how fast the battery charge just using the regular USB 2.0.
4. It's very clean and sexy.
5. There is ALOT of bloatware. I'd say half is useful and half isn't.
Overall, VERY HAPPY with my decision.
Lets see some pics of this bad boy!

So just install free droidfish app, set 4 threads in settings, and from initial position press 'M' button (just below the board) and choose 'Analysis Mode' - wait few seconds and report the 'nps:' number you see at bottom of the screen... Will it pass 1000k?

Congratulations, but how can someone seriously judge battery life within the first few hours of owning a device? Absurd.
Um Sprint prices $349 for this is um ridiculous compared to other carrier's $299. I'll wait for someone to trade theirs on Craigslist for an S4. Lol

Removable battery and an SD slot?? My heart skipped a beat!

Here I am sitting on the fence with my trusty note 2 waiting and watching for a release that will make the decision for me.
I'm not ashamed to admit that a little squeal escaped when I saw the removable battery and SD slot in the release video!
I hope this one is a good one! It sure looks promising to me!
Great move by LG, would be willing to upgrade my Note 4 for it.
Sent from my SM-N910F using XDA Free mobile app
Thank you LG for doing what Samsung couldn't. They still care about power users. Will be upgrading my Note 4 on release.
heh, i think the note 4 has better battery life than this thing. even the g4 will have better battery.
video kills battery like nobody's business. was listening to a reviewer say he flattened the battery on the g4 within an hour of 4k recording. you cant record an hour of 4k but take many 4k clips and see how long it lasts.
I expect sd card to make a return with next years samsungs. replaceable battery, however ? hmm...that is not clear.
If this comes out on Sprint.... Bye Bye Note 3.

Now that LG is adding 200GB sd card and an extra battery and charger, this is going to be a tough deal to beat at 599 on T-Mobile.

I'm still using the G3, I'm not sure about the G4, though. I'm a huge Nexus fan, but I absolutely have to record videos of my 4 year old while he can still walk and play, in a few more years we're only going to have these memories and the V10 seems to be the cream of the crop in the video recording department.
I really do think that I'm going to have to buy this phone on Friday.
I've been obsessing in the 6p forum for weeks reading everything I can trying to decide between the 2.
Really the only thing holding me back is "do i want to try the nexus experience? Or do I want to be stuck in carrier update limbo land?"
But seriously, I'm on a note 2 running 4.1.2. I'm scared of updates. Maybe hanging out in LG land will be fine....
And... What a deal!

I'm glad to hear this. I preordered my Note 2 and it's been the greatest phone I've ever had. I've had 2 phones since that I returned in favor of keeping it. Unfortunately, I broke it a few days ago, and I'm having trouble moving on, as opposed to repairing it yet again.
I too was very interested in the N6P. But this phone came to us like sent from above... I can't think of a single thing this device doesn't have!!! We talk about the perfect phone every time a new device leaks. This one might be the closest thing to it in my opinion, and based on specs alone. . .
The only thing I think stopping people on this forum is the root aspect of things and will the bootloader unlocked. Regardless. This phone is going to be fantastic. Cannot wait to pick one up.

LG is probably one of the best when it comes to trying to push updates quickly on their flagships. The carriers still take a little bit of time, but they're the first to announce lollipop update (G3) and first to announce marshmallow update (G4). So if you were to pick anything besides a nexus, LG would be best (they do make a few Nexus devices after all).

Had the same feeling coming from my 3.5 year old galaxy S3 with OctOS. I'll forever have fond memories of all the Verizon peeps freaking out because it was the only carrier to lock the bootloader, then watching the forum posts pile up as Adam Outler cracked it open like the boss he is/was.
Just my .02 on the V10.. Love the feel/durability, love the screen, love the camera, love the $50 G-pad promo from verizon paired with the 200gb mSD and extra battery promo from LG.. HATE stock android!! So much.. I forgot how much bloat and garbage they can put a phone before the customer ever does anything with it and how little you can actually mess with the device. If there is ever a verizon bootloader bounty, I will be contributing.

This is the best post I've read on XDA in a long time hahahaha. I can picture it now:
You: Hi, I'm picking up the new LG V10 today, do you have it in stock?
Rep: Yes, we just got the shipment for them this afternoon!
You: Great! I would like one please.
Rep: Sure thing, what phone are you coming from?
You: The Galaxy Note II... *pauses to think about the memories from owning a phone for ~3 years* It's my friend. My best friend. My lover.
Rep: .....Let me get the phone for you.
You: *begins to power off phone, the iconic DOO doo DOO doo doooo T-Mobile chime plays, followed by Goodbye!*
NooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo!
Sorry for the seriously OT post, made me laugh way harder than it should've.
I didn't even think I wanted or needed to update my Nexus 4, but this promo is way too good. I'll be getting the phone today, hoping that LG hasn't run out of batteries and SD cards by the time I submit the request.
Stupid LG, making me spend money when my phone still works, but man am I looking forward to getting the phone tonight.

What you guys think the price will fall too? $699?
I would say $200 off each model like last year
I jumped on the Verizon deal and saved 450 with a pixel XL.
Ordered mine from Amazon just got an updated email saying delivery a week from Monday (11/11). If the price drops within the 30 day return period, Amazon will make it right. So after $100.00 gift certificate and hopefully another $200.00 Black Friday the phone will be worth what it should cost. ($699.00)

I don't think Google will give you anything off.. well maybe a hundred or two but that's it. The carriers on the other hand will give you half off, no trade in required although perhaps another line added. But then you run the risk of bootloader locked, carrier locked for 60 days or more and being locked into 2 years of service because you only get a monthly credit over two years. But there should be some BF leaks in the coming weeks so you never know. At this point you might as well wait and see since it's only a few weeks.
I'm holding out with fingers crossed! ??

I don't think they'll make the same mistake as last year. And piss people off who pre-ordered again. Plus the pixel 4 is widely available. All carriers and big box stores are selling it. Pixel 3 last year was a very poor seller. So in that case it was a supply-and-demand thing.. my wife got a pre-order verizon 4xl for 450 dollars off. I jumped on a unlocked one at Best buy with $100 gift card. Both those deals lasted a week. And I don't think Black Friday will match them.
Hopefully I'm wrong either way I don't regret my decision to pre-order this time.
They'll probably have the exact same deals as last year at this time. Here in PR the phone has been out since launch and AT&T, Best Buy, and most T-Mobile stores haven't even put out a demo unit. Only one T-Mobile store had it out for display and the sales clerks told me that it's practically invisible. People look at it and ask where the Note or iPhones are. Go to the Google Store and the smaller phones (except maybe the not so orange, although I'm not sure) never sold out.
Google knows it has to be aggressive, the s11 will be out in a few months and the Pixel will already be yesterday's news, unfortunately.
I remember when the Nexus phones had the fastest chip and processor because they waited until the end of the year to get the latest and greatest and everyone else played catch up. Now it's the other way around. It's a damn shame.
All that said, I'm definitely getting one as soon as I see the deals out there for Black Friday.

They made the same "mistake" with the Pixel 2, though the sale was only $100 of if I recall. And more sellers competing and more availability means better sales. THAT is supply and demand.
Returned mine. When the deals show up maybe I'll buy again. Unfortunately for me it was too much for not enough that matters to me (motion sense is a gimmick I'll never use). Obviously everyone's situation is different.

I bought it too in the hype, but after using it a few days I felt I got ripped off and way over paid!
If a really good deal comes along I'll buy it again or might just get the Pixel 3 XL instead.

Pixel 3xl is still a great phone. I still have it. Although for the price and features I bought the 7T after returning the 4xl. It's close enough to the pixel for me and I saved a considerable amount of money.
In the end Google wants to charge premium prices, but always cut corners somewhere happens every year. 4xl will be a great phone I'm sure just probably the first pixel I'll not own.

I was looking at that 7t, but not having wireless charging is a deal breaker for me. It’s like having a flip phone all over again. lol
Every phone I’ve had since 2012 has had wireless charging, starting with the Verizon exclusive, Droid DNA. Then LG’s G2, G4, Samsung’s S8, S9, Note 9, and now current LG v30.

It's why I bought my Pixel on my credit card to use price protection. Every single year it has not failed me. Until the banks decide to stop doing price protection (shakes fist at Citi).
