Any problems?

So I'm thinking about picking up a galaxy note 8.0. Just wondering if anybody has run into any issues or problems with the device?

The only problem I got is that I can't leave it alone
The screen is very bright and colorful
The battery life is good
The performance is great
it charges in a few hours so you can go back to use it

In terms of experience ruining, game breaking, regret inducing, where-is-my-receipt sorta problems, nothing as of yet. I've only managed to come up with a tiny list of minor annoyances (like the position of the speakers and accidentally hitting the back button while in landscape), but nothing that's pushed me over the edge. In fact, of all the Android tablets I've owned (Xoom, Nook Color, Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, Nexus 7, Transformer TF300T), this is hands down the most useful and practical I've owned.

So how is the battery life? I.e. how long of continuous use before needing to charge?

I really like tee tablet and it is a considerable upgrade to my N7 in every way, even without considering the s-pen functionality.
But since you asked for quibbles, here are two....
In my experience, the IR blaster weak enough that to call it a "blaster"us misleading. More of an "IR crawler".
If you are a really big fan of Hulu (I've met one person), the Hulu app has a framerate stutter at the moment (but the ads are silky smooth).

After nearly a week of use I have no real quibbles. The biggest one is I hate the stock lockscreen but that... that is changed easily enough. So far the device is very responsive and snappy, has less lag with pen input than my note 10.1, and the screen while not the highest resolution by any means looks very, very nice!

With the official book cover, I just turned it off completely. Not normally something I do with my devices, but it seems to work on the this one quite well.

Can you please tell me the Speed or Frequency of the Mali 400MP GPU of Note 8?
Is it same as Note 2 or S3?

How is the gaming performance of Note 8? Can you play all latest games with out any lag with good frame rates?
Also how is the battery life?

The mali400 is the only thing i'm not so happy about. (Oh, and the lack of camera flash).
I was hoping that the note 8 would be a complete upgrade in every area over my HTC Sensation.... But from what I've been able to gather - the Adreno220 in my Sensation is superior to the mali400...
I haven't been able to find any real world evidence of superior performance online though... I guess I'll just have to wait till I actually have a Note 8.0 and do the tests myself.
Would love to hear some feedback regarding the Mali 400.
My feeling is that with current software it's not really an issue. But I fear the note 8.0 / Note 2 will start showing the age of their gpu in the next couple of years.

Every game I've thrown at this thing has done just fine. I'm not sure what a good benchmark game is, but I've not noticed any issues, lag, or performance issues in any title.
In regards to battery life, I've honestly not been paying attention. It's been good enough that I've not had to think about it with extremely heavy use throughout the day.

Thanks for the reply.
Just wanted to know wether we can play Modern combat 4, Asphalt 7, NFS most wanted and other heavy games with out ant lag or frame drops?
Also Mali 400 MP is future proof? Atleast for one year more?

Also if possible can you check the speed or frequency of Mali 400Mp in Note 8? I dont no how to check.
Just want to know wether NOte 8 has Mali 8 as same or higher speed than Note 2 or S3 ?

Here you can see default speeds of the mali 400 mine is at 640mhz on the N2

Oh! That is helpful thank you.
Have you tried putting it up to 800?

Is it me or does the note 8.0 feel warm on the back (bottom left)? I downloaded system tuner and it is reaching 50-55° C ON CPU by simply browsing the internet or just having the screen on. Also, if I put my ear close to where it feels warm I hear this hissing sound (very faint but noticeable). I dont get this same effect on my note 2. Otherwise, I love this tablet!

I'm in Love

I have owned the xoom, Asus transformer, Nexus 7, and now the Note 8! this is by far the best in my opinion! I've only owned it for 2 days but have found more use for it than all the others! I find it actually makes things easier!The only down side is a small creak I've found in the back part of the casing next to the Micro SD card slot! By the Way, I wrote all this with the s pen and my own hand writing!

That very much sounds like your tablet is defective. Hissing is usually a failing componentof some sort. I would take that unit in for an exchange.
My note 8 is completely silent, and produces no heat that I can feel.
Best of luck!

I thought that was not normal. Already got a replacement on the way. Good to know it produces no heat

Ditto, noticed some warmness after playing games. Polaris can warm it up too, but I haven't been able to get it warm with Power Saving on.

First Impressions after going crazy over my Pre-Order

The Note 3 is very fast and Buttery Smooth like the HTC One's Span dragon 600 processor but even a bit faster with the 800
I wish there was a way for the camera settings to stick when you change them like ISO.. if you do auto for taking pictures.. especially in low light, the pictures will look terrrrible! you need to set ISO to 800 or 400
The speakers are quite frankly a disappointment.. the note 2's speakers are indeed better so you can imagine how the htc one trounces the speakers in quality.. really really not sure what samsung was thinking when downgrading the speaker quality
The front facing camera quality is also not Good.. the note 2's front facing camera was good but the color production was pretty bad... the front camera on the note 3 is gritty and the saturation levels are so bland
Im thankful for the auto correct on the keyboard but its very here and there.. not as good as some other options but it's OK and i find myself using it more than i used the stock keyboard on the note 2
Vibrate feedback on the device is just ok.. htc and Motorola does a better job with the vibrate feedback.. on the note 3 it feels slightly weak and on some other devices you can feel the heft of the feedback if that makes sense.
The Spen is clearly more accurate to the touch than the note 2.. i happen to have need penmanship and it does show when i write with the Spen
The many software options on the note 3 may take up space but the good thing is that you can disable the apps or turn them on or off so they arent runnning.. the battery is really really really good on this damn phone Heavy use and 4 hours and 5 minutes with the screen on and the battery is at 43 percent. I think i can get a good 7 hours screen on time or more so with all these apps on the device, they dont seem to wear down the battery even though i know the battery life would be even better without all of these features... i actually like all the stuff on here.. human get bored quickly and having customizations options on your phone is a top notch plus!
O did i say the speaker was on my last nerves? lollll ... it's a little better than the nexus 4, LG G2 and Galaxy Nexus speakers but if the quality was degraded any further, it would be on par with those. (no disrespect to yall phones.. just giving an honest overview)
For those that says the Leather like material feels like plastic... well hey.. thats their hands and i cant tell them any different but for ME, it does feel like Leather..maybe Pleather lol..Feels like a Leather Wallet's material..i really like it and i found that the phone does not get hot like the note 2 did at times or even the Nexus 4.. good job Samsung
The Multi-Window Feature was improved and much easier to navigate!
The device is clearly the epitome of what Project Butter should stand for ... the battery is an addictive thing to own... and this phone is a phone to keep... however, will i be keeping it myself? if i can tolerate these speakers with using earphones more often and if samsung sends an update to iron out some settings sticking in the camera app then I'm on board for keeping this sucka for a while!
If you have questions, I can try to answer for you. thanks and if there are any grammatical errors, excuse me.. i dont feel like going back to correct them all lol

Hey, this may be kinda off topic but how does the snapdragon 800 compare to the 600 in daily use? I'm thinking either about the s4 or note 3 but leaning towards s4 cuz of the price..

You're fine.. I was saying how the HTC one was really smooth with the 600 and there's a tiny bit of speed added in the 800..its not tremendously significant but they're both very good

Noticable difference for sure. I have noticed many things take far less time. When I used Nandroid Manager to restore my apps from the Nandroid I had made on my S4 it took half the time that it did on my S4 usually. All across the board things are so much faster on this then the S4.

Thanks for the mini review. I'm really glad they brought auto-correct back, maybe Samsung struck a deal with Apple or something.
As for the speaker, as long as it's louder than the LG G2 I'm okay, the G2's speaker was horrendous.

I was supposed to receive my Note 3 yesterday but UPS made an exception for some reason, maybe the Truck broke down? It's now scheduled for MONDAY! SOB!
Good new is I did get my order in for the black Gear watch, with the 25 percent off coupon, $224 is a not too bad...

The biggest difference in the 2 SoC's are they cores they use. The 600 uses Krait 300 cores, while the 800 uses krait 400 cores. The krait 400 cores are a higher clock speed out of the box, as well as faster L2 cache. Let's also not forget your getting the Adreno 330 vs the 320, which also offers a bump in frame rates on things.
I would assume the 800 would be able to OC higher as well. Depending on the bin of the chip and voltages.
Also the 800 supports 4K video recording, granted its really gimmick at the moment, and the 600 does not.

Thanks a lot for that info. I just got by feel.. Might be better if I had then side by side but the HTC one is no joke when it comes to speed and this note 3 just takes it up a notch as benchmarks show but there are all types of conspiracies out about samung and the benchmark thing but I just go by feel and you can experience the fluidity instead of seeing numbers

Both are good chipsets. On paper the 800 is better. But that doesn't mean in really life it is. As you said, real world feel. I know when I played with note 3 at my store, it was faster than my 2 that's for sure.

Definitely faster than the note 2. Noticeably

Daily usage you will be fine with either but if you play higher end games note 3 plays them smoother like mc4 or dungeon hunter 4. But if you don't want lag and 32 gb storage note 3 is the way to go.

ANTUTU Benchmark for the Note 7

Hi,
Anyone went for the performance indexing of the new device on our favourite ANTuTu.
I got almost an S7e score, which is amusing!
133327
M in envy though with the likes of One Plus 3 soaring at 140288....
Please post yours!

Im getting close to 142000

Woah! thats great. May be coz of the SD 820 rather than the Exynos one like me.

I did another one and it improved a little.

Unfortunately AnTuTu is an inefficient and then unreliable benchmark test, better use Geekbench 3:

Second with my other apps closed.

Here was a online test for thr S7 and apple 6s. I really dont expect much difference as the S7 and note share som of the same stuff.

Anyone know why GeekBench shows the cpu as 1.59Ghz? I thought the SnapDragon 820 is 2.15?

Wow - that's huge!
I have been forced to think that its the performance difference of the Snapdragon which creates such a huge difference in scores from the Exynos one. I got the phone first thing on 19th and ran the tests shortly thereafter but didn't score as high. Also, I tried it a couple more times but never went above 135***. I wonder if its just my device or the thing with the SD820.

Now here's my Geekbench score...
I m still unclear as to which is better - AnTuTu or Geekbench?

Pretty good!

Compared to the 55-56k I use to get on my 6P, this is nice.

You of course realise that these 'test' figures equate very little as to how a mobile may perform in daily use?
I have known owners return their mobiles because of taking to heart such 'scores' when I reality their mobile worked very well and to the owners satisfaction? Don't allow yourself to get hung up on such 'tests' I have not used one for many years as I use my own user experience as my benchmark. :good:

Overall speed

Would you say that the OnePlus 3T is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the OnePlus 3T exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

This phone is super fast. My first OnePlus. They fingerprint is so much faster than my s7. I just touch it and it unlocks. My brother in law who has a nexus 6p is very jealous

it's insanely fast.
im still amazed

How is the screen latency touch response compared to the s7 edge or iPhone 6s?

I was wondering, since I didn't find anything about it on Google, if the phone automatically wakes when you press the fingerprint scanner. Do you have to turn the phone on with the power button before you can unlock it with the fingerprint, or does it automaticcaly turn on and unlock when you tap the sensor?

Yes, it does !

The phone is so fast, that CPU is negligible (compared to I/O) so I think it's quite a bit quicker. (%25-30% perhaps).

Very fast, Ran Antutu and get the highest score for all the andriod phone. But still cannot beat Iphone 7!!!!

I'm itching to buy this phone! However, can this handle Dawn of Titans, CSR2, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and Vainglory with ease? I mean no lags/delay, no frame drops?

Mine only scores about 7000 less than the Iphone 7. For a 439$ phone, I call that impressive

It has the latest quad-core Kryo processor, of course it will be very fast.

I'm getting so close to beating the IP7 lol, imagine what this thing can do while overclocked, I'm running OOS 4 so I'll have to wait for those sources to be released before I can OC it

This phone is the highest spec'd android phone on the planet. If this one can't handle those games, then none will. Make sense?

Can somebody check the performance of One Plus 3T in UXbench app that is available on playstore for free with no ads and is developed by me?
If you like please post your results inside the app or post them here. I would like to see how One Plus 3T compares with other top devices (according to my app).
For now the fastest (my app results) are Huawei Mate 9, Huawei P9 ,Xiaomi Mi5s and S7 Edge Exynos as you can see in the compare tab inside app.
I woul appreciate if someone try the app and let us know the device performance in terms of cpu and io performance.
Pesonally i expect a score over 170000.
Please note that scores shown in the comparison area inside the app are the best runs per device until now. I have seen differences in devices with the same SoC because of different software.
Also note that the app tests only CPU , RAM and IO performance.
The test is quick to complete it takes about 1-2 minutes.

s20 plus or s20 ultra or wiat for note 20 ultra

I am thinking about buying a Samsung as I can't get along with the oppo I bought
I use a phone for
Watching films
Photography (portraits and macro plus scenery and wildlife).
Day to day emails etc
I have read some stories about issues with the ultra and the photography lock issues but the 10 x zoom looks amsizng
Which would you go for based on your experience
Have they fixed the photo lock issue with software update
Can you be honest as I don't want to make mistake in my new phone
Can't decide whether to wait for the note 20 ultra
The prices I'll pay as I get blue light discount through Samsung are
S20 plus £849.14
S20 ultra £1019
The note 2p ultra will probably be full retail price as the discounts don't kick in for ages
Thanks in advance

In UK is exynos 990... unless we have a surprise on 5th August, so I would skip Samsung in this 2020, you get over heating, throttling and camera issues, plus the usual bad battery management.

The macro still not working perfect, and the focus also, maybe in Note20 comes perfect with new macro lens and laser focus. Anyway... battery drain and heating issue even seeing movies too long time you can count on that with exynos 990.

Not in my experience. I get fantastic battery , easily 7 or 8 hours SOT with my exynos. I have no issues with the camera either. I'm no photographer but it does more than I need it to.
No heating issues either only while charging :good:

On ultra exynos? With 120hz screen? One call and 30min play per day maybe? 8 hours sot and recharge every 12 hours maybe [emoji1787]
It get better with updates but some are hardware issues... only changing the SoC configuration witch Samsung recognize and will do next year.

I am thinking about buying a Samsung as I can't get along with the oppo I bought
I use a phone for
Watching films
Photography (portraits and macro plus scenery and wildlife).
Day to day emails etc
I have read some stories about issues with the ultra and the photography lock issues but the 10 x zoom looks amsizng
Which would you go for based on your experience
Have they fixed the photo lock issue with software update
Can you be honest as I don't want to make mistake in my new phone
Can't decide whether to wait for the note 20 ultra
The prices I'll pay as I get blue light discount through Samsung are
S20 plus £849.14
S20 ultra £1019
The note 2p ultra will probably be full retail price as the discounts don't kick in for ages
Thanks in advance
Chris

Rumor has it the Note 20 Ultra release will be delayed and have a 50X Zoom, not the 100X found in the S20 Ultra. Likely it will feature an Optical Zoom up to 10X then a Digital Zoom at higher magnification levels. Having spent time as a professional photographer I doubt most users would be able to identify whether a photo was taken by an S20 or a Note device, both have all around good cameras. Will there be minor improvements in the Note 20? Probably but we'll also see software updates which will improve the S20 cameras. I wouldn't consider the Note 20 and S20 Ultra`s pocket phones, they're both very large devices with big displays. Prices are a significant consideration as well. The S20 Plus is available for $800 USD, S20 Ultra is around $1,000 USD. Rumor has it the Note 20 Ultra will come in around $1,300 USD. Also you'll save money and get a better SoC if you buy a Snapdragon powered International Variant. Lastly, would you use the S-Pen? If not it's difficult to justify holding out for the Note 20 Ultra. Wait for Samsung's Unpacking Event in a couple of days and you'll have a clearer picture for which device suits you best.

You're most welcome. For Macro shots with the S20 you'll find this article useful.

That's brilliant thanks I am on oppo find x 2 pro but am returning it to amazon tomorrow I've found certain annoyances the only good point really is 120mhz refresh even on qhd plus.. And charges zero to 100% in 38 mins... But annoyances like not being set ring tones for contacts without a faf... And the software isn't as refinded as Samsung

for me my opinion , i switch from n10+ to s20 ultra specially after all leaks come about n20 ultra .
why ?
for the true , i wasent use spen on my n10+ , and when i knew that n20 ultra come with battery 4500 according to s20 ultra is 5000.
another reason : refresh rate 120 with fhd for n20 ultra not qhd ...so same refresh rate on my s20 ultra .
i got my s20 ultra for 1000$ and its less than 300$ for upcoming n20 ultra .
another reason and that the special reason and important one : n20 ultra will come with exynos 990 same s20 ultra , so in my region and country no way for snapdragon .
so i will after all say , i keep on my s20 ultra that less than 1 month already in my hand.
hope i help

* S20 Ultra Exynos *

normal tempature 24 C , speedcharge battery 44 minutes 34 C .
Macro is very good , not to close to object and zoom in ,its the same methode that samsung did to get a "macromode" , result is good .
Im a heavy user and i get around 7 till 8 hour battery time 90 % 20%.
only some lagg when i take photo's 108MP slow reaction ,
so price good buy it .
discussion Exynos Snapdragon ?.

I'm still debating between the s20 ultra ,iphone 11 Pro max,xperia 1 mk2
Its all the exynos and camera problems that are worrying me are they all fixed in updates like some are saying? Because I do prefer Samsung devices
Thanks

I have a iPhone 11 Pro max and the camera is OK I'm just sick of being stuck in the apple eco system and want a breath of fresh air
Re the Sony do some research that camera sounds as bad.. And it's not got 120mhz screen OK the ultra is only on full HD but 120mhz is amazing from what I've seen

I actually have the s20 ultra now and have the iPhone 11 Pro max on order so was going to decide between the two
I have the exyonos version and I don't do a lot of gaming if any to be honest (might have 10 mins on coin master haha ?)
Using the camera the phone does heat up a bit on the top front display just worries me if I keep it long term things will only get worst with exyonos and the heat
I'd hate to think in the future oh ill have a go on that game or app and the phones does nothing but throttle

Exynos for me is a deal breaker... we never know what's happening next[emoji1787] but the worst for me is the attitude of Samsung scamming exynos consumers, selling same price, and what a high price, something that don't perform on the same level than snapdragon.
Even if the average customer don't see it I think is not fair.

Is the exyonos that bad I mean I've had samsung devices for the past 5 years all exyonos I'm assuming with me been in the uk
Or is it just this generation 990 version
Seen a lot of posts that all the overheating and ceramic problems have been fixed via software is this true?
I mean if its a split second behind snapdragon then who cares lol
Thanks

It's at least since s7... for hardcore users is important. You play PUBG poorly after one hour or so... paying the same than an American that still playing good [emoji2361] the lucky of Samsung is that the average customer don't care... but with 20% less battery in s20 series even the average customer starts complaining.

To be honest I'm not much of a gamer on phones I just use it for the camera,social media,watching YouTube and movies,just some general apps like music etc
So would I be effected by the exyonos or should I not even notice
I don't think I'll ever play a game for over an hour I mean does the exyonos throttle after say 30 mins
Also mine is on ATFG HERE IN THE UK is that the lastest version with the apparent fixes?
