Sprint Samsung SPH-L900 (New Samsung Device - CONFIRMED as Galaxy Note 2!)

I was looking through some Samsung RDF's this morning and stumbled across a new unannounced phone!
For those that aren't familiar with an RDF they are the development and design specs for a given build on a phone. This one just happens to be for a phone that is not yet out or even announced! EDIT: I have now confirmed with a source of mine that this is in fact the RDF for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2!
Some of the cool things I found in the RDF?
Exynos4412 processor
1280x720 resolution
Android 4.1.1!
Support for EVDO, DOrA, WiFi and LTE!
2 GB RAM
16 GB HDD (with expansion slot up to 32 GB)
8 Megapixel camera
And more!
Honestly there's a ton of stuff in there and smarter minds than mine should be able to pull more out of it. This early in the RDF process I'm guessing that this is purely an engineering build and may not even be the final specs but still something to keep an eye out for!
Now for the fun stuff! FYI - The RDF is only viewable in Internet Explorer.

Enjoy!
EDIT: Garwynn has pointed out that the Galaxy Note 2 has specs that are identical to that of the RDF. Check out this article from DroidLife for pictures and info.

Its another frequency similar to LTE. I tried to find some reading material and granted there's not much out there but here's some stuff I found.

Funny that you mentioned this. My guess is the Note 2.
Timing makes sense especially with these as context for it:
http://www.tmonews.com/2012/09/samsung-sgh-t889-coming-to-t-mobile-as-the-galaxy-note-ii/
It was also announced last week that the Note 2 is coming to the US but no release date was given.
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/08/2...jelly-bean-and-1-6ghz-exynos-chip/#more-81015
Since we're probably not going to see a rework of the GS3 this year that's the only other possibility.
Specs match it to a T.

You are the man! I totally didn't even think of the Note 2! I've updated the OP to show that as a possibility.

I REALLY hope this is the Note 2. Now the big question. When will it get here??? Will Jelly Bean still even be considered new when we see this phone.

More fuel for the fire... found a link to this on Sprint Communities:
http://www.popherald.com/news_20120831_samsung_galaxy_note_2_jelly_bean_demo-19693
"A source claims that similar to the Samsung Galaxy S3, the top four carriers in United States will offer the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Verizon Wireless, Sprint and AT&T will reportedly announce their LTE Samsung Galaxy Note 2 in October, and T-Mobile USA’s HSPA+ 3G Galaxy Note 2."

You won't - with swype, its so easy to type stuff that it makes little sense to have a qwerty phone these days.... just introduces a higher risk of some small component breaking.
Granted, there are some out there who can't live without a qwerty physical keyboard attached to the phone... but whatever... its only a matter of time.

I have just confirmed with a source of mine that the RDF we are looking at is in fact the RDF for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2!

[Q] Lollipop

Anyone have any new info on us getting Lollipop? Info on Google is slim.

My guess is spring or summer time. If we see any leaks then that means it should come a month or two after the leak. Its just a guessing game for samsung

Samsung S5 has just started receiving the lollipop update. So hopefully our Tab S gets it very soon.

When we start seeing exynos variants getting 5.0 we know we will be getting closer.

I recently read (sorry can not remember where) that because the Tab S was such a low seller that Samsung may not bother. I was not aware it was a low seller.

Im pretty sure were gonna get the update. If some other tablets like the tab 4 are gonna get them, the we should get them too. The tab s is samsungs flagship right now i think

I don't know about sales figures but I've read quotes from Samsung in various articles stating the the Tab S was a high priority to get an early update. After all, It is still their flagship tablet at the moment.

Phones are very different from tablets. Orders of magnitude difference in units sold.

this is one area I find VERY VERY frustrating with Android
I find the way IOS OS updates are released far more satisfying. By the time we get Lollipop (I have a Note 3 and Tab S 10.5) - it'll prob be old hat. I'm also fed up with having apps now that look, feel etc like Lollipop and a core OS that does not.
we have 2 IPADs as well in the family in case you wonder about my IOS comment - it gets released - everyone (just about) can download and install it - great

My point being too that was that, Samsung have released the final version of their lollipop update. So in terms of major software tweaks, that's done . If that makes sense lol

That's true. But I'd rather have an update that improves my device rather than slowing it down.

Honestly I think ios users have the opposite problem . Apple keeps trying to update their old devices to the latest ios. The iPad 2 has no business running ios 8. Making ios 8 run on old devices just make them slow and piss people off and then they accuse Apple of making their device slow on purpose to force them to upgrade. Of course if Apple does not support old hardware then it's "abandoning" them.
But yeah no excuse for not having lollipop on the flag ship device already . It's not like Google just dropped lollipop on people out of the blue. you had betas and previews. If cyanogenmod, which as far as I know is not a multi billion dollar conglomerate, can support a bunch of devices then so can Samsung.

I do also have note 3 and tab s. I installed the leaked lolipop for note 3 and I can say that lolipop is worth waiting a few more months. It's nice, clean, works well. Maybe lolipop will resolve some of our problems with tab s. My guess is that will be no lolipop update till begening of march for the tab S because we do jot have any leaked firmware for exynox yet.

I hope it never gets it. Lolly pop ruined my nexus 10, broke WiFi and sent me shopping for a new tablet. Loving my tab s running 4.4.

2 q 2015
according to this article 2 quarter 2015
://technosamigos.com/samsung-android-5-0-lollipop-update/

Hopefully xposed will become working on art before getting lollipop :good:
regards

LTE edition is on Q2, means after April, this is long wait!
By the way, I am waiting for my Note 4 as well.
What to do, just wait wait wait...

Our tablets still work fine, and the rest of the community can catch up, so let's not be so first world about it.

Goog news for Tab S Owners? Reliable source?
Acording to jbgnews, which I had never heard about BTW, lollipop is arriving for Tab S in the next few days or weeks.
i don't know nothing about the source, but I thought I'd post it anyway.

Note 4 Verizon Lollipop

Are we going to get it before Note 5 comes out?

Most likely. The reason why the Note 4 is getting the update so late, is because the Samsung VR has to also be capable with the Lollipop update. Also, I believe that Samsung, and also carriers, are looking at other devices (such as the Galaxy S5) to see what bugs need fixing before releasing it to the Note 4. My guess for a good release date would be this month. But no later than April (that's when the Galaxy S6 comes out). I hope I helped.

Now What?
Samsung has released Lollipop for the Note 4, Sprint already has it and ATT is pushing it out now. VZW last again, any idea what the hold up is now?

Me thinks you answered your own question.

This would require someone here to have a crystal ball...

touchwiz based nougat ?

This morning I got a message from Verizon advertising two new (to Verizon anyway) models, a LG k20(no misprint) and a Samsung galaxy j7 (wtf are these things lol) they are actually economy models of both manufacturers which really isn't important. What is important is both boasted nougat api. I'm wondering if it would be possible to get tw nougat port for the note 4 . if its being launched on there 99$ phone it must be out for the flagships.

Supposedly there's a rumor of a nougat update in the works for the note 4. Whether it's just a test build and if it'll ever see the light of day is up for speculation, but we might get lucky and get our hands on a leak. The note 5 is set to receive nougat though so that's probably our best bet for a TW nougat option.

I hope you're right and just based on the fact that they had to recall the Note 7, I hope they'd throw us a bone and develop 7.1/7.1.2 for us I could understand if they didn't go further than THAT (i.e. Android 8). I mean, us Note 4 users didn't have any real update options for current year models on the Galaxy Note line when our 2 years was up. I wonder if somehow getting a petition going would help at all, but who knows how many Note 4's are still out there in use. My mom also has one, I've got at least one coworker that had one, I'm not sure if she still does or not.

We may also have hope with ported S7 nougat ROMs as well.
I doubt a petition would do much good though, Samsung would look at it and go "lol, cute". I agree that we should at least get nougat though. I work at a VZW dealer and I still see a decent amount of Note 4s in use, so it's by no means a dead device. I tend to sort of 'bond' with the N4 users that come into my store and even though I'm obligated to try to get them to upgrade, they always say stuff like "I don't want a new phone, there's nothing out there that does everything this one does!". Makes me happy every time

Who will be getting note 8

Who is excited to get note 8 that gone be out... Let's just home I wine be same problems as note 7 did... Because the lates leaks hiring me existed for this devise

I had no issues with my Note4 and current Note5. However I'll get the note 8 since there will be no new firmware for my N920A and it can't be rooted.

Same I have no issues wit my note 5 just lack memory card.... And note 4 screen is done

Honestly, I love my Note 5. The camera is top notch and it seems like the perfect size.
I may not get the Note 8 and there's only 1 reasone why - - AT&T NEXT. Monthly payment on a phone that will never be mine until I am like 30 months into owning it on monthly payments. Not to mention it is locked down. I want a device I can freely modify with custom roms and Samsung is locking down devices tightly. I can't risk tripping Knox with a phone that's not mine.

I'm not getting one. I prefer a flat screen on my phone. I can't abide curved screens for loads of reasons.. but mainly the inability to fit an adequate screen protector.
So unless Sammy decides to release a flat screen variety then I'll stick to my note 5.
And as a side bar... Phone prices are getting rediculous, and while new incarnations of tech offer more the functions remain broadly the same imo....

After getting nougat and watching nougat comparison to s8...there's not much difference in performance...If they step up the note 8 well...I think I'd get the note it...but I'd love to get my hands on the note 7r first...
Hope it comes to the USA...
