Really disappointed weak glass,speaker and cheating in benchmark
i want to upgrade from note 1 to note 3
after reading alot of reviews i found some issues
1- The video of an "androidauthority" that show drop test of Note 3 and its glass was broken , despite my note 1 fall from me many times and nothing was happen (gorilla glass 1) and till now non of any sites ( Samsung - Gsmarena - Phonearena .........) talked about screen protection and this was scary to me
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=note+3+drop+test
2-some reviews talked about the speaker of note 3 and all of them talked about its bad quality but it is loud enough . yesterday i read review http://www.anandtech.com/show/7376/samsung-galaxy-note-3-review/7
show that the loudness of speaker is only 71.92 db lower than note 2 and my note 1 :crying:
3-today i choked when reading the cheating in benchmark of note 3 at all phone sites
4-most of reviews done 4g version and i was planning to buy the 3g version
Waiting for more reviews and for comparing with its rivals ( LG G2 - Xperia Z1 - Acer Liquid S2 - Alcatel One Touch Hero -HTC Onemax - Lenovo Vibe Z)
Good for you. Take someone else at their word. For every bad review there are a 100 good ones. If you choose to focus on the bad ones then maybe the new iPhone is more your style. To each his own.

LOL I hate iPhone series and i think they aren't rivals with note3 at all , but there are rivals still in same line and don't forget i ve note 1 from 2 years and it is still my little baby
Don't believe on every bullS**t that comes in front of you. If you liked note 1, you will love note 3 too. It is far better than even note 2 and people are loving it so note 1 doesn't even come closer. There is not even a single phone which is 100% perfect.
Hi,
I have upgraded from a Note 2 with custom rom (omega) and audio mods (Neak) to Note 3 Simfree quad core version.
My note 3 has all my apps inc Apex Pro Launcher.
1) The audio quality on the note 3 is defiantly better than my note 2, the call quality is amazingly clear, the music sounds better.
yes the speaker is not that loud compared to my modified note 2 but that some that a custom mod when released can fix.
2) i have not read the review but i have just done a AnTUTU Benchmark and my score is 35613
AnTUTU score 35613 (custom test with all options selected)
Quadrant Standard with score of 22279
Geekbench 2 Score 4095
The screen is amazing compared to my note two and the pictures quality is sharp, I will compare this with my sisters Samsung S4 when i get chance.
Edit: I did not like the S-Pen on the note 2 much on on Note 3 it feels much more natural when writing with the pen and the air view is brilliant when using S-Pen makes this much easier.
Thanks
Thanks

about the speaker i hope that will be better but about the review of benchmark you should read it as your test on benchmark is faked by samsung
Reviews are the opinion of the reviewer only try get one of your own and I guarantee you this device is definetly better than your note 1

Hi,
How is it faked? when i using 3rd benchmark tools to run some tests based on the CPU/RAM/GPU etc.. from the application itself, unless the application is picking up that is note 3 and then faking the result?
It does feel more responsive and faster than my note 2, I want to root it with custom rom and take out this samsung bloatware etc.
PS: I have just tested MX Player with DTS codec pack - I can playback full bluray with DTS-HD MA audio sample file m2ts and also 10bit MKV files.
Thanks
Why do you give much thought to drop tests? There is no scientific procedure with which these tests are carried out; basically, they are all luck based. But since it seems you put weight to them, maybe these two tests will put your mind more at ease.

- As for the benchmark "cheating", basically what has been confirmed is that the phone preps all the four cores to 2.3GHz before the benchmarks begins (like revving the engine of a car before racing). it's worth noting that the Note3 still measures the highest scores even with this "booster" disabled. This is not the first time that manufacturers were caught trying to do this and it won't be the last.
- Why are you planning to buy the 3g version? The only reason you should get the 3g version is if you don't have another choice (i.e: they don't sell the 4g model in your country)
- As for the speakers, I honestly can't tell you as admittedly I'm not the best judge when it comes to audio. I sold my Note2 so I can't compare. What I can say is that I leave the volume at 13/15 when watching my videos and I have no problem hearing it in a quiet environment.

thx for videos
and about 3g version in our country data through 4g is very expensive and not practical for us and also the 4k video need more storage + highend tv ,so i preferred the octa core ver as i heard it use less power consumption by choosing the lowest core for idle and for small process and maybe after update from Samsung it can use the 8 core simultaneously and make higher performance than snapdragon after that update.That only what i think

When people say "faked" what they really mean is that the CPU and GPU are set to a speed which is not otherwise available for general use. So (making up numbers) in normal use the GPU can only go 450mhz, if it detects that a benchmark app is running, it'll ramp it immediately up to 475mhz and keep it there so there's no ramping up and down and the speed is higher.
So it's a bit dirty, but it's not like they're dropping frames and getting a "higher FPS" or something.

Actually that's not what's happening here (though it was with the S4). Samsung is apparently setting everything to run at 100% during popular benchmark programs.
1. The benchmark programs really should be doing this anyway which concerns me
2. Even without this preset, the N3 still won pretty much all benchmark tests. So not a big deal in the end, making this unnecessary from Samsung.
BMW does any naked phone screen survive a direct drop on its face onto concrete? Don't think I've ever seen that.

It was arstechnica that caught them cheating on benchmarks this time. I think it's safe to say most people would see that as shady.
Samsung did the same thing with the GS4, it's not just benchmark software it's any app that is native fullscreen that gets a CPU boost for max performance. Call that cheating if you want, the phone still created the results.

This is not cheating, the processor is not running outside of its designed limits. All it did was make sure it was running a full power for the whole test... The clock speeds were still 2.3 ghz,
as for the speaker, that's subjective and the glass is gorilla glass 3, it's the strongest on the market... But if you think it won't break if you smash your phone on concrete, you're kidding yourself

Most people don’t care about benchmarks, and I’m still going to buy the phone and not lose any sleep over this.
Are they going to get fined/punished /banned by the benchmark committee?

ArsTechnica also failed to "discover" that the very LG G2 that they compare in the very same article has the same CPU optimizations, only that they by luck it didn't apply to GeekBench 3.
Samsung does it, HTC does it, LG does it.
To the op about the drop test. I don't care what phone you have it will always break out shatter if you drop it on its face. There is a thing called a case. If you don't use it you deserve to have your screen smashed.
Don't get it. Stay with your note 1 and no complaining. Enough said.
I want a fancy new ferrari but the cost of maintenance is a lot more than my current car.... That's how you sound.

unfortunately for me a few days ago my note 2 fell face first on concrete and naturally it cracked.
all smartphones will get this terrible fate if dropped face first on solid concrete unless the flexible screens with what ever will cover it finds a solution to that problem.
samsung should invest in wearable technology that senses and "magnetizes back" whenever your phone is about to get dropped or snatched (i know far out but one can dream lol)
Would you say that the OnePlus 5 is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the OnePlus 5 exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
My old phone which I had to replace as it got smashed had a Qualcomm MSM8996 Snapdragon 821 and I though that was fast until I got a OnePlus+ 5 which is in another league.
Well, i am impressed by the overall speed and snapiness (coming from an exynos galaxy s7).
This thing can handle much without overheating! (A nightmare for galaxy s users)
I simply love my experience so far with my OP5.. It is fluid, fast especially considering Android, bright screen, lightning fingerprint.. Coming from s7 edge only 2 months old which was so laggy after installing all the apps.. Hope Android O and other releases allows us to stay smooth and save battery, I may not change my phone for a year (can't say for longer [emoji16])

for me the backups in twrp and titanium are noticeably faster as is a normal boot. i have yet to get rid of encryption but i think that will add further performance increase.
Looks like i am the only one from "humble" beginnings here. ??. I had a A5 2015 , i thought it was good and not that slow , i was gonna buy s8+ but then i saw op5 and omg its soooo much faster than a5 i am glad i bought oneplus .
I had a Nexus 6 before with overlocked CPU custom Kernel and lineage os on the board, oneplus 5 everything stock, no root, is insanely faster and the battery is much better, i lovee this phone
Awesome
sounds nice
Nice ! i also like it

Blazing fast
Compared to all the flagships I have ever had my hands on, the OnePlus 5 is the best of all, HTC U11 is very simillar in terms of overall performance.

Hehe nice quote there 'Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?'.
Any way, I have the OP2 and some of my colleagues and friends have OP5.
When i used it for the first time, it was like you drive a brand new car..
The fingerprint is much fast and recognizes allmost 99 percent of the time.
After checking benchmarks on it, i was totally in love so i diceded to buy him ASAP.
Actually at this moment i'm waiting because there are rumours of a new version with extended battery etc..
8gb RAM version is quick. Really quick.
I'd love to try using one plus 5 which is said to have great speed. However, I am still confused to use it, while I still have galaxy s8 phones, which memilliki OS and spare parts are no less far away with others.
Thank you,
polarin.co.id
I m using 6gb version and till date I haven't faced any hiccup of performance lagness etc nothing
Just a Wow phone
This is the phone I would buy again n again irrespective of its successor Oneplus 5T.
I know that these days, with devices all being so fast, in real world use, speed tests don't mean much. But given how amazing the benchmark scores have been with the iPhone X, and how insurmountable the scores seemed to be, this vid shows the s9+ beating it in speed, and especially in RAM management. I couldn't help but feel satisfied watching it!
https://youtu.be/47yS2ZWhcCU
I have both devices and the day to day real world UI operations and playing same games on both devices, I find the Iphone still beats S9+
I have both devices also :good: I'm predominantly Android but appreciate both platforms & have no affiliation,.
Both have strong and weak points tbh, however iPhone X is a speedy device and likewise the S9+ real world use you wouldn't know, and it's only in keeping apps running In the background that the S9+ has the edge as it has 3gb more ram than the IPhone X

I also think they're both awesome. I mean, even in this vid, it's so close that you can't go wrong with either one. You're 100% right about them both having strong/weak points. I switch between them often. Haha.
I don't mean this to be as incendiary as the title might suggest, but I bought a S22U last week and was shocked by just how starkly different my experience with it was compared to all of the reviews.
Like the screen and camera are nice, sure, and it charges relatively fast...but the UI is slow and stuttery. Even when it's technically not stuttering, it still feels way more jerky and abrupt than phones like the Pixel, OnePlus, and the iPhone.
The battery life has also not been good at all. It's far worse than the S21U, and accubattery is saying I should only get 6.5 hours of SOT vs. the Pixel's 7 hours (for the Pro) and 7.5 hours (for the standard 6). If I recall, accubattery clocked the S21U at like 8 or 9 hours.
Has anyone else had a similar experience with this phone?

Battery life could be better, but if your UI is slow and stuttery it usually means some background task is running at high priority constantly. That would also explain your terrible battery life.

Oh trust me, I checked all of that, and set practically everything to not run in the background.
I've also had the S21U before and didn't have that issue (despite not even bothering to change the background allowances).
Something else that's really strange to me;
I bought a Tab S8 too. Same processor, same RAM as the Ultra, and I've had no issues with the UI. It's great. Completely fluid and smooth.

Battery life is nothing to write home about...but for my uses it lasts me a the whole day not a problem...but not much more than that. As for the slowness, jerkiness and stuttering, I do not experience that and I have mine set to wqhd+ mode. Performance is one thing I have been very happy with (I have the 12GB/512GB version).
I think it's a masterful device. No issues at all on my end.
What an odd question? If it were a bad phone, how come you bought it?
Call the S22 Ultra bad, disappointing or whatever adjectives fit. Bottom line it has more reported defects than any Samsung device in many years. If you're happy good for you but as we can see many users aren't thrilled with the performance of this very expensive device. It is what it is.

While I tend to agree, do you have any sources for that tidbit? So I can use it in the future
S21 Ultra has come a long way in terms of updates/bug fixes and I strongly feel S22 Ultra needs major updates to be on par with S21 Ultra as far as as UI/smoothness is concerned.
Unless both S21U and S22U are used side by side(with latest firmwares installed), probably one will not be able to feel the difference and might end up saying "no UI/lag issues with S22 Ultra".
As for batterylife, I did several tests using same mobile operators, on same location, over same Wi-Fi network - on similar settings+usage pattern(mostly) and the batterylife of S22 Ultra(Snapdragon) turned out to be way less than S21 Ultra(Exynos). Going further, I did factory reset both, waited for over a week to settle down and ended up having the same experience.
The overall experience with 22U isn't the best yet considering its potential and I hope to see a lot of these issues getting fixed through future updates.
I have had no issues with lag or stutter. I suspect that you may have a defective device perhaps?

The s21u (Exynos) wasn't great when I first got it after release. It really improved with the big update it got last August which was supposed to be OneUI 3.1 but wasn't actually called that. I'm hoping the S22u gets a similar update this year. The April update improved the S22u (Exynos) for me but I think it still has a way to go before is can really be called "flagship".
S22 Ultra EXYNOS 512/12GB is the worst Samsung's flagship what I owned and I almost had all of them from S series before.
So poor UI and lagging performance I really starting to hate it. Battery performance I have to charge twice during working day! I'm not a mobile gamer at all. Hopefully Samsung will finally fix it with May update as already delayed as too many problems overall with crappy Exynos this year. On top of it 45W charging it is a joke

100% agreed.
For better experience i suggest change animation length from x1 for 0,5 in developer option. I do it in every samsung device and i feel a lot of better running UI than before.
But i agree with above users that S22U still need updates for better running.
Comparing side by side my Fold 2 (yes android 11 is the best opton for fold, most stable and fast) to S22U.
Fold 2 with snapdragon 865+ is noticeably faster in opening for example default apps like phone dialer, messages, web browser etc and scrolling same webs fold 2 is smoother than S22U.
At this moment in my opinion S22U is only little better in day performance from Note 20U Exynos but skipping battery life which is a lot of better than Note.
But overall i like my S22U like previous Note series except Note 20 U
as _grizzly_ stated, ive not had animations turned on since they were first implemented back in gb days, not only does it save battery it makes the ui faster, we dont need it to look fancy switching between screens, we need it to do it quickly, that wont be a fix to all your issues but all journeys start with a single step
I'm fully updated. No issues at all. It does everything it's supposed to do. Battery life is sh1te though / no getting round that point! But it's really no worse than any other leading Samsung device I've had in the past few years. They all drop at about 10% per hour.
I have the absolutely worst version of the S22U I guess. 8/128gb, Exynos.
No issues whatsoever. Fast, smooth, good battery. No lag or crashes for the two weeks I've had it.
So FWIW I have no complaints.
Camera setup is mindblowingly good for a phone, quite frankly ridiculously good.
The only minor minus would be the lack of proper native 960fps slomo (very niche thing anyway) but that's about it. S22U does some AI interpolation stuff there, and that's okay with me I guess. I'd rather have a better overall sensor there than one tailored for Tiktokers.
I've upgraded from an 8GB/512GB Exynos Note9 to a Snapdragon 12GB/512GB S22Ultra (S9080) and I couldn't be happier. Battery life is quite frankly amazing. The UI is buttery smooth. I don't like the in-display fingerprint sensor as much as the rear one from the Note9 and the form factor is a fair bit bulkier, but on the whole I'm personally very happy. Maybe I've just been very lucky.
A good Android phone has fastboot mode...
I've seen that it's relatively low powered compared to the competition, but I also own the iPhone 14 pro Max which has the must powerful mobile chip known to man and my findings are that it feels just as fast, possibly faster sometimes due to snappier animations, at least it seems that way to me personally.
When comparing opening times for graphic intensive games and such, of course the iPhone wins but in day to day use, it feels like commonly used apps open as fast or faster and are generally really smooth, definitely not underpowered.
I haven't really used the cameras too much but it does look like the chip does a great job at processing the photos from the average camera hardware.
I like the autotranslate stuff that it can do.
What are your thoughts and findings?
----------------------------
Additionally, off topic kinda, as much as apple use super high quality components for ram, having double ram in this phone than the iPhone is very noticeable too! No app reload problems whatsoever on this! They're rare in the iPhone but they happen and often at annoying times.
Additionally (2), iPhone is awesome but the Pixel is winning meo ver in many ways.
It's not Tegra, it's Tensor.
I do agree with your performance rundown though. Coming from a OnePlus 9 with a processor that's superior on paper, I have been quite happy with the Pixel 7 Pro, as it has none of the random lags and frame rate drops that plagued the OnePlus 9. The cameras are MUCH better as well.
Don't get me started on how awful the OnePlus 9 was with RAM management. Sometimes I couldn't even log in to sites because I would switch apps to get my 2FA code and the web page would reload. Thankfully, none of that here. In fact I'm rather amazed sometimes when I leave an app and come back 12 hours later and it's still running despite me doing a ton of stuff inbetween.

RAM management is what I hated the most about the OP9 Pro. Closing a bunch of background stuff to give the illusion of efficiency and battery life drove me crazy.
My Pixel 5 (SD765G) always felt snappy and certainly didnt feel slower than the Oneplus 7T (SD855+) it replaced so Tensor not being top of the heap is no problem whatsoever, in the real world you just wont notice even if benchmarks make it look like a snail.

Oh yeah it was insanely frustrating, especially because my OnePlus 9 didn't have the most amazing battery despite the heavy RAM management!

It's called the iPhone philosophy. The multi-tasking of Apple phones is absolute toilet, then people bang on about the battery life that results from the aggressive background app management. Yup, but at what cost?

It's crazy! It feels way faster than my iPhone which has the most powerful mobile chip known to man, the only reason I'm not switching over to have the pixel as my main phone is because the iPhone is linked to all my other devices like Mac and iPad.... But, dang, I'm totally won over by this device!
