It has a USB3 port!!

Finally, a maker has listened to the cries for USB3 The CRiLED flash also looks really good.

Was internal storage mentioned?

 

[mrk]

They didn't talk about it, I think it's their habit not to talk about specs that differ in various regions in some cases but 32 or 64GB is in the spec list. Good to see no 16GB.

Personally I don't mind the look of it at all.

 

[mrk]

Same here. It's exactly what I was hoping for. A design close to the S4 which I'm a big fan of in a slimmer than Note II case. The back being soft and textured is a big bonus.

What some are also forgetting is that it's less likely to slip off tabletops and out of the hand because of it too.

I find myself really wanting this even after vowing to never own a Samsung device again after having a GS3.

 

[Skunkworks]

Looks like a nice bit of kit, but no front speakers.

For me, it doesn't justify an upgrade from the N2.

This is a decent update to the Note 2, wonder what they have instore for the NOTE 4 as they have rammed an endless list of features already.

needs a GPE

This brings things round to the big question of what the hell else can be packed into a smartphone. It will get to a certain point eventually and level out.

But then none of the stylus stuff would work, so what would be the point.

Even it there was a GPE version the UK would not get it.

the stylus would work.

it works on CM ROMs for the other notes

 

[kidkhaos]

Will the uk version get 4k recording?

With all the same functionality you get with the stock rom?

Will the uk version get 4k recording?

Unfortunately the 4K video capturing will be available only to the Snapdragon 800-powered Galaxy Note 3. On a positive note, the S800 Note 3 will be most common device on the market anyways, so it's likely that model will be in your area. If you live in a developing LTE market, then the S800 model will likely be the only one selling in your region, because the Exynos 5 Octa version doesn't have built-in LTE support. Bummer!

Benchmarks ahoy.

For me it's only the 1080p screen and software that it has over the N2 so I can hold out for the N4.

That suites me just fine though as it would wind me up waiting for it to be rooted and for Wanamlite to be ported (has a lot of extra features I use such as holding volume up/down to skip music tracks, battery percentage instead of a useless indicator, all apps work in multi window etc).
