I too have the Spigen wallet case, feels good and fits good, not overly bulky considering its a flip case and the size of the N4, currently use it as my main case, shame its not genuine leather, but the build quality is brilliant nonetheless, would have been even better if it activated the screen when opened.

Today Samsung has announced a new version of the Galaxy Note 4 which will be launching in the South Korean market in January 2015...

The new Galaxy Note 4 adds a third model to this mix. It comes with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810, which is similar to Exynos 5433 in that it sports four Cortex-A53 and four Cortex-A57 cores in a big.LITTLE configuration. However, the point that Samsung is advertising is not the SoC, but the cellular speeds that this new Galaxy Note 4 model is capable of. Snapdragon 810's modem allows for 3x20MHz carrier aggregation, which will enable LTE speeds of up to 450Mbps on future Category 9 LTE networks.

Chester's colleague Andrei Frumusanu has confirmed that the LTE-A Tri-Band CA Galaxy Note 4 will be using a Snapdragon 810 SoC.

Guys if you spot some good deals on unlocked Note 4's I would love to hear from you, I'm after one and on EE at the moment (pay as you go) but would like it unlocked and without EE's built in rubbish, but if you find a none contract EE version at a good price I may take it too and later unlock it and rewrite the OS to remove the EE spam they install. Thanks guys and have a great New Year.

I was reading that EE install a spyware program into the BIOS of the phone that can't be deleted even with a new OS flash, read it on the HotUKDeals forum, so not sure how much of that is true, but I'd certainly be looking for an unlocked version :)

Very true, I see they do this on all Android phones with EE it seems.

Thanks for the heads up mate on that, I didn't realise EE was doing that so it will have to be a Fully Unlocked Samsung Note 4 (SIM FREE), with no carrier branding or messing about.

Very naughty. Hope this gets some visibility from some popular mobile sites.

The biggest worry is that the program itself isn't secure from what I've read, so someone could get hold of all your data, location etc... Nasty stuff, and EE doesn't give you a choice in it either! Last time I'll buy a phone from them, SIM free all the way here now baby! :p

I've seen someone say they bought sim free and use a pay as you go sim and they can't get rid of the software. Not sure if it's BS or not, if it isn't then that's very wrong.

Yeah that would be very concerning! In the links above, one of them is for the EE forum, where an EE employee states its to stop contract fraud, but if you buy this sim free, its nothing to do with EE, so them forcing it on customers is IMO disgusting. Glad I didn't go with EE now :)

After a few days with my Note 4, I have to say I am impressed :) The novelty of some of the features will soon where off, but the screen is just gorgeous ;) I settled for the official S Note Wireless Charge Case in the end, replaces the back cover so offers protection with very little added bulk. If this is how far phones have improved in two generations, I can't wait for the Note 6 :D

I thought I'd read something along these lines so I just did a search and the above was the first hit, I'll be getting one of these rather than the s6 I thought I was gona have to buy:cool:

810 version? why? what will happen to us peple who got the 805 version?

Samsung issued a clarification after that and anandtech's article saying that the new version will be on Exynos not the 810.
