**** The Official Note 4 thread ****

Kinda surprised by my benchmark scores. Factory Reset just now, when it's all back up, we'll see how it fairs.

 

[Thomss]

Wipe in recovery ? Or just reset all data within android menu ?

In this case I just done it from within Android yeah.

Does anyone know if we have access to RAW images with the inbilt camera app as yet with the German Lollipop?

I've only heard it mentioned for the S6 and then it is only a maybe:

We have also picked up information on the camera software on the Galaxy S6/S6 Edge. Samsung is using the APIs that debuted on Android 5.0 Lollipop to offer a Pro mode in the camera app. This Pro mode will enable the option to choose between three focus modes, including a manual focus mode similar to the one found on third-party apps like Manual Camera. We could possibly also get other advanced options, such the ability to save RAW images and control the shutter speed, which would give advanced users the power to shoot photos the way they want to.

Cheers Cosimo...heres hoping the next update gives us access

Yes I did a week ago. For thirty quid more I thought it was worth it.

Not really, I would say more cleaned and polished. I have had every Note since the first but I have always been slighted put off with Android due to the performance issues and general lack of cohesion. I got rid of my Note 3 and went to the iPhone 6 Plus which is a great experience. I then tried the Note 4, KitKat disappointed me and was about to let the Note 4 go just as this ROM dropped. Completely changed my mind now and the Note 4 feels much more Apple like in polish now but with all the extras the Note offers

The speed increase from KitKat to Lollipop is quite jaw dropping to be honest. Glad Dalvik is dead!

Very honest and thorough thoughts. Thanks for your input Mate.

Now the question is buy the Snapdragon 805 Note 4 or the Exynos 5433 version?
Dilemmas!!!

Whichever is cheaper

Really makes no real world difference.

Thanks kona I've got an Amazon voucher ready to use so will take that into account.

Has lollipop been released on the Exynos versions?

 

[Cosimo]

Has lollipop been released on the Exynos versions?

Came out in Poland (N910C) last week. I expect it to be rolled out shortly to everyone else.

I'm thinking of maybe getting a note 4, but wondered if it has a 64bit processor or not? It looks like there are a few variants, but just thinking about lollipop and support going forwards...

The SD805 is 32bit however the Exynos version is 64bit.

SD805 is 32bit, Exynos is 64 IIRC?
