SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE III THREAD

[derrickgoh]

First Android phone I'm getting. Am sick and tired of Apple. Their QC major CMI nowadays.

iPhone 4 home button unresponsive shortly after 1 year warranty expired. iPhone 5 earphone remote problematic after several months. The triple click does not rewind instead it pauses. iPhone 5 home button starting to get unresponsive after several months.

Poor QC aside, Apple has loss its innovative edge after Jobs died. Instead of coming up with new stuff that others follow, Apple is now playing catch up. And releasing those stupid S phones is just greedy and lack of innovation. Just go from iPhone 4 to 5 to 6. WTF is up with 4S, 5S, etc?

BTW what type of mini SD card does Note 3 accept? Any specs to look out for? So many type I don't want to buy a not compatible type.

Preordered mine at Samsung AMK branch. They let me choose the color I prefer which is pink but salesguy said pink may come later after launch. And if I changed my mind, I could have a white one at launch date. The preferred color was indicated on the receipt in print. So I guess they do let us pick the color at preorder.

It supports all MicroSD card, up to 64gb as well as exFat mode. If you don't want to go wrong, look out for those that had Android logo on the card box when buying, but they are actually all the same. IMO get at least a Class 10, for faster transfer speed, but even tho with USB 3.0, the transfer speed still can't match the Internal Flash memory.

haha... had been a fruit fan too since the classic IP4 launched... saw my friend having problem with home button too...
i do agree that from 5 to 5s really killing their own market............
they should have gone from 5 to 6 straight as the market is so competitive now... hiazzzzzzzzzzz

This Note 3 is a must get - super powerful smartphone not say the SPEN )

Does brand make a diff? My colleague claims Kingston better.

Depends on price. If comparable to other brand then ok lah but if more ex then maybe not worth it.

If I got note 2, I wont upgrade.
Nothing great actually or the improvement not that great.
Technology seem reach the peak.

i'd upgrade for the sharper screen.

anyway what's the price for the note 3 going to be? interested but no pricing around hard to decide.

on S4 now

Let me predict $1088 on low side. $1188 on high side.....

It really doesn't matter which brand lol, personally will go with SanDisk since they are the prime of SD cards, also lifetime warranty.

If 1188 is 64gb model then okay haha. Still cheaper than iphone with more functions and uses

Better not be 1188 for a 16gb variant like what the CSO at jurong point samsung told me

Let me predict :

SRP :

possible $1088 for 32GB version

$1248 for $64GB version


Just have a thought- if ever Adroid merge with fruit 1 day?

meaning Note 3 + iOS 7 lol...

Thinking of the impossible? Lol

The only way is you becoming a world class hacker and break the bridge between hardware and software, combine iOS into Note lll, but what's the point haha
