SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE III THREAD

[Bapenigo]

wonder what would the Limited Edition Accessory Pack consist of besides what was mentioned.

I heard the pre-order is set to be around 7th Sept 13. Is this true?

Any idea if it comes with FM radio?

Samsung Gear is pretty useless Imo, if it really can somewhat replace the phone, I'd rather not buy it, using it will render me not using my phone as much. And seriously only such small battery life, I need to charge the watch everyday, which is a hassle!

After all its still a gimmicks, just like Siri and S voice, great innovation, but quite redundant on actual use.

Seriously hope the 64gb version will finally make it locally...

Judging from history, we always got the only lowest capacity in Singapore, mainly due to the MicroSD card slot available, don't need to get 64gb, even my S4 16gb is more than enough combination with 64gb MicroSD.

Not to mention, if you see closely, Samsung Galaxy flagship is always much more expensive compare to Apple, for contractual purchase.

Watch "Samsung Galaxy Note 3 S View cover preview" on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opdPtEWLkH8&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Guys, is the back the same as before? Having to replace the back cover? But this time it doesn't seem like it? Because I'm see Red Back casing but around the Camera area, I still see White casing?

Oh and the front doesn't seems to Flop as much as previous gen? Isit due to better build quality or there's actually a magnet now?

Whatever it is, it's going to be of terrible quality so don't count on it.

Samsung GALAXY Note 3 + Gear : Official First Hands-on

 

[madz_syl]

If I buy from Samsung direct, then buy an iPhone from the telco to sell, wouldn't it be very tough to buy from the telco given that the new iPhone might be announced v soon? ( noob QN..... )

I wonder if telcos offer the freebies for pre order as well.. Was not exactly worded in the pre order release.

[human_shieldz]

If S4 is your 1st Android device then haven't got it long enough to feel the hurt yet lol.

If not, it means you don't install many apps

Still can use. It still has the micro USB 2.0 port (right) + the extra pins for the USB 3.0 (left).

 

[grey-fox]

A few people mentioned waiting for the 4.2 update to Note 2 before deciding whether to buy Note 3. However, no where in the official press release mentioned 4.2 update for Note 2. Damned, they are going to update S3, but not Note 2???

Also, shouldn't micro USB 3.0 female receptacle be compatible with micro USB 2.0 plug? Why the need to change dock/plugs unless you want the higher speed?
EDIT: just saw yiptw's post

Actually Note 2 was My first. What's wrong with installing apps on S4? Samsung make it available to transfer apps to MicroSD card storage mah, so everything is good

 

[zXioNGz]

oh i see, thanks for your info!

Yup, so most likely only the cable Samsung comes with will have USB 3.0, unless they wanna shrimp till give normal micro USB 2.0 and sell after market for the extra pins, that will be most ****ed up thing hahaha

 

[TiGer1]

Micro-B USB 3.0 (USB - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

 

[Ev0d3vil]

So the note 3 using the hard drive cable now?

My contract ends on 2 Nov. Thinking to buy from Samsung (no contract) and buy iphone 5S on 2Nov to sell.

Worth it? usually lastest iphone could worth more than $1000, given new.
