SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE III THREAD

[trd2970]

so many ppls selling away their note 2 now

Dun feel the impulse to upgrade.

 

[trd2970]

I believe the LTE version will be here and not the 3G version since we have LTE here

yup should be. I was referring to the octo core lte version. The similar s4 version was only available in korea mkt.

 

[trd2970]

Octa core version will not support LTE. Octa core is still quad core as only 4 cores can be active at once. Samsung's octa core processor is not as efficient when it codes to to supporting LTE worldwide other than their own country and they are still running into supply issues.

Personally I can't imagine buying a phone without LTE support. It has become a must-have feature for me. Quad core Snapdragon 800 version is the one to own in my opinion.

Yes. Its time to grab a note 2 now.

1k+ for a dam phone ? really ?

That's what Steve Ballmer laugh at years ago before iPhone came out. Look what's happening to him now

 

[human_shieldz]

Samsung at Nex told me only got black & white ?!?!

They never say only got Michael Jackson?

 

[human_shieldz]

Most likely Singapore will only have Black and White for initial launch? I believe Samsung mass produce Black and White first too, then follow up.

Anyway its definitely minimum 32gb, but Singtel website is weird too, it says up to 32gb lol

Thought i read in the FAQ that it says minimum is 32gb hahaha

 

[human_shieldz]

mine st contract expire last sun. offer 100 voucher. still holding ip4 thinking of changing to note3. however, does it does when recontract my 12gb will auto drop to 2gb? sianz i use alot of data, usually around 6gb per month

Ok Singtel facebook has clarify with me. Only upon recontract, it will drop to 2GB so you either don't recontract and get new phone or buy phone on the cheap with a recontract and lose that 10gb. I hardly use more than even 500mb monthly cos i have a bbom line which gives me 50gb monthly. Actually with the inconsistentcy of the local telco 3G network, i doubt i can use that much haha. But then again 2GB is really little in today's world.

 

[human_shieldz]

Why you say confirm don't have for contractual; will not receive the bundle kit? FYI the S4, everybody on launch received the limited accessories pack, not just non contractual purchases, and yes all Telecos site does mention it comes with it, please don't mislead other people

And I don't understand why you said Note 3 only meant for professional IT users?!? Seriously? What's the tedious use meant for only professional IT users? I tink you got too hyped about the new S Pen lol, and again don't mislead people, Note 3 is the best AIO solution for a Tablet + Smartphone, anybody can use it, not only professional IT users.... Sorry but when I see this comment I'm amused, greatly

As for the software upgrades, I can tell you honestly, for what you mean Professional IT users or Graphical designer, it's just a whimper upgrades, very disappointed, in fact can Google and see many people are also disappointed by it.

IMO, only thing good is the hardware, 1080p screen, 3gb ram and Snapdragon 800 are going to make the phone so much smoother and enjoyable experience. Until they can implement the software to be launchable without the S Pen, especially the multitasking with drag and drop function, then it will be convenient, if not I doubt many user will actually pull out the S Pen, just for that. Using copy and paste is still much more easier.

PS: Just my 2 cents , but I'm really interested to know your opinions on Professional IT usage. I'm an IT student, and I seriously don't find it any use, I can't input Computer security other than KNOX, I can't really play with overclocking the CPU, Ram, or Andreno 330. And there's no possible way I can do system analysis diagram on such small screen, maybe on the Note 8 or 10.1inch, at least I can draw system analysis diagrams easier

Cheers!

Definitely can't do serious work on it la haha. But it's more like comparing with that's available in the market now, Note 3 is the best in it's class. In fact, i dun think there are any competitors in this segment cos no one seem to have a stylus phone yet. I still wonder why other's haven't come in with it

Actually the screen too small for serious technical drawing lah. But it is good for quick sketching.

Yup, I'm waiting for the new Note 8 to be announced, I'm using the 10.1, it's too big for probability.

 

[zXioNGz]

Thus is what's posted on Singtel website,

Memory
- Up to 32GB internal memory

There is a new Note 8.0 coming up?? Actually i thought have a 10.1" size is good for some work and drawings cos you see more with more space to work but 8" is handy. That is why it's good to have different size to suit the need of everyone instead of being given only 1 size and told that's all you need

Just reread, the FAQ says 32GB will be available at launch. So i interpret the "up to 32GB" in the main page as saying only 32GB will be available at launch or maybe will be the only one ever in our market.

Am no 6 on the list. I ask abt colour & CSO said black or white then i said i prefer white so she scribble on the paper. Dunno got use or not.

Anyway i asked her since we paid deposit, is it confirm got stock when we come & collect or will have super long queue. She said since im no 6 on the list sure to be fast. I hope so!

So those of us who pre-order got $100 off samsung gear. With this discount, any one buying it?

U can forget about the gear. Rubbish product. Even got $100 discount, it is still expensive n no one's gonna buy.

With 100, still need to see the actual price, if it's below $200, I don't mind buying to try, kind of cool, but battery life really sucks man
