The new Gear VR available from today for £80:

I'm not entirely sure why, but the fact I've just seen you can watch Netflix on the VR has really appealed to me. I guess the idea of just strapping on, plugging in and relaxing in my bed, watching Netflix rather appeals. Add the VR to my Xmas list... although it's out of stock already

Great to see that it might finally be getting released in the UK but I'm guessing prices will still be top dollar flagship price despite it being 6 months old. Not to mention it's a little insulting that they have been pushing Note 4 at flagship prices for those 6 months while newer device has been out all that time. Also odd they are missing the Christmas period for sales so I guess in my case it's just a waiting game until next iteration.

An extra £200 for a uk version with no dual sim, slower updates. They messed up.

I reckon mid December for Marshmallow :cool:

'Uploading' certainly sounds promising. Which is the N9208 though?

Muska · 6 Dec 2015 at 18:34

I think that is a dual sim variant is it not?

AndyCr15 · 6 Dec 2015 at 19:29

Okay. I assume it will be most at that point. Just seemed odd as that wasn't one I recognise.

The 'About Device' screen now shows security patch level:

Do you think it's worth getting a US version of the Note 5 and will all the LTE bands work here or is it a problem

Don't get the at&t version. Although all 4g bands work in the UK, it has huge amount of bloat ware which cannot be removed. Updates are slow and pushed out direct from at&t and only work if you are on their network.

Received today my Zerolemon Slim Power Battery Case -

Calling it slim seems a little cheeky tbh. Will post the video review once done in a few days.

Judging by the camera surround, that case is massive! Looking forward to the video.

A friend of mine has ordered the at&t version I guess that was a bad idea then.

I can't help but be a little disappointed.

Still a good product that I would recommend mind you.

No chance.... I pull that out and people will laugh. Looks a big piece of bulky bulk.

Powerbank is a far better option

I love the camera on the Note 5:

Agreed, the low light is solid.

Muska · 9 Dec 2015 at 16:39

Very impressive, wow!

AndyCr15 · 9 Dec 2015 at 19:39

Hooray! I'm now on a N920C with a more recent ROM than my N920W8
