i am from Israel - i will buy the Orange version that comes with the Radio
A recent convert here!
I have to be honest, my main incentive to upgrade was the 200GB microsd promo, which I'm loving at the moment.
Other than that, I would say that you would get roughly the same experience with the V10. There are some really annoying quirks like the random bluetooth issues, or the fingerprint issue with the case. But overall, it's a great device.
I do really like the second screen experience, can't wait till we are able to customize it even more with custom ROMs.
and oh, standard 64GB internal ROM is GREAT.
How works the FM radio ? Is it working on Steteo too ?
I had a note 4 Prior to my nexus 6. Note 4 is a good phone, I just never used the Stylus and cant stand Sammy bloatware. The V10 Is my favorite phone to date.

I came from the Note 4 and I really like the V10.
The best part was giving AT&T the finger and switching to TMO where you can customize your phone.

I came from a note 4. I usually upgrade every year and both phone while fast, the v10 appealed to me in the same way my note 4 did. Speed wise my maps no longer has gps issues and my recent apps is much smoother. I do love the pen but in return you get a 2nd screen which is quite useful.
An example: I am in phone conferences for a chunk of the day and leave it on mute. When someone calls on me to speak and I have my maps on the current screen, in a panic I look for the dialer app. Not anymore, the 2nd screen instantly takes me to the dialer which is an awesome feature for me! Also the audio quality is excellent out of the headphone jack and it still has an ir blaster. Not many other phones have this many features!
So yes, compared to the note 5 which is missing an SD card battery ir blaster and a company that gives a darn about their roots, the LG v10 is the next in line.
On a side note, Samsung is considering an SD card in their s7 so the next note may be some good competition but I need 2 batteries, this dies around 1pm with my heavy use.

From someone who actively change between the Note 4 and LG V10, I will say the the biggest drawback is the battery on V10 is extremely lacking compared to my Note 4. The speed and fluidity I have to give to LG due to a lighter UI as opposed to TW. I would never get rid of either because there are days I hate the V10 and vice versa. Its situational based over anything else

Just dropped my Note 4 for this. I'm an AT&T user on the Tmobile variant. Right now I have no LTE. Once that is figured out this phone will be a lot better.
Note 4: Better battery life for me especially with kit Kat versus lollipo, better screen Blacks, better Bluetooth connectivity, better development community (FireKat and Cm12.1), spen is cool, for me the button placement is better (I'm not the biggest rear button fan) on the V10, better speaker phone, ODIN full wipes, better build quality, for me the s6 keyboard port is the best keyboard so far , youtube 2k does NOT stall , ir blaster has better directional range
V10 : more ram and not TW equals a extremely smooth device, awesome DAC for headphones, fingerprint is 1,000 times better, native 64bit android seems snappier, works better with xposed very little cpu lag, the screen is excellent overall!!! , audio playback is smooth with no stuttering like on the note4 sometimes. Screen does not overheat and dim-great job LG.
Just off the top of my end phone to phone. Both are great..
If buying today 350-400 used note 4 vs 599 V10 (free 200gb card and $100 off promo if you got in early ). I would say the V10 if you like music and xposed. No freebies..I'd stick with the Note4 till Jan/Feb.
If you can find a kit Kat device, stick with the note4 till the 820 devices come out, as the V10 will be outpaced as soon as the 820 devices are released and I assume more carriers will use the ess DAC.

i want all of your opinions on whether or not trade my iphone 4. unloackable for the galaxy NOTE.. can you tell me how long does the battery last on your phone and if it is worth to trade it
thanks
I used to carry both an iphone and an Android phone. After getting the note, I sold my iphone and use android full time.
the battery life is fine. if you are a heavy user, carry a spare battery.
I just switched from an iPhone 4 to the Note about 2 weeks ago. I have absolutely no regrets switching. I have always had an iPhone from the first one in 2007 up until 2 weeks ago and never saw myself switching because of how the build quality of apple and smoothness of iOS was. When I used a note for the first time it blew me away the progress that android has made over the years. While I still don't think the overall build quality of this phone is iPhone status everything else is better. As far as battery goes, unless you plan on trying to go multiple days without charging then it is a non issue. It gets through a day just fine. I will say the battery life does drop faster than my iPhones did but there's really no difference to me as the note gets me through the day with plenty to spare and I charge it every night anyway. Once you get a Note you'll wonder why you used such a small screen before.
I know the screen is really small on iphone .. I used the htc titan before .. N i am thinking of trading it . For a Note but im still in doubt .. Since i am with tmobile . The internet might be the same unless i put the hack to get 4G ..
Is the camera good on the note ?

the camera is brilliant.....great pics. i take pictures and can zoom in on the smallest details of that pic and see it clearly.
The battery life won't be quite as good add your iPhone, but it will still last you through a full day. I can pull about 16 hours total with 4 hours of screen time on a charge, but I try not to look at my phone for 25% of the day anyways. The screen will make you laugh at your iPhone. The iPhone has slightly higher pixel density, but once you go Super AMOLED HD, you won't go back. The SPen also brings more usefulness than you would think. Also, with Android, even without rooting and ROMing, you can still use rings of different kings of launchers, change how your icons look, use different keyboards, and perhaps the oldest argument, view flash content.
Don't get me wrong, I like the design of iPhones, minus the small screen, and their software does run smoothly, but after 3 Android phones there is no way I could go back. IPhones are just too limited for my tastes. With my 3g, I felt like I had a nice phone that could play some cool games. With my Note, I feel like I'm carrying with a tiny computer with limitless tools at my disposal. I also like when other people pick up my phone and have no clue how to use it, but it is still way more streamlined for my own personal use than an iPhone would be.
With Android you decide how you use your phone, not Apple.

Traded my iPhone 4 for a Note and I love it
I was a die hard apple zombie.. I once believed like all others that apple would cure world hunger. I traded my iphone 4 for a Motorola artrix then a international galaxy s2 then a skyrocket and now a galaxy note.. I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW THE RAIN IS GONE..

There are a lot of Note users that came from the iPhone. I havent seen any regrets so far. I too came from the iPhone 4 to the Original GS2 then skyrocket...then the Note. It just got better everytime. Some iPhone users are way too stubborn to switch but I rather have choices than to "accept" what they give me.

I like the camera on this phone more than the one on my old ip4. I can't speak for the 4s, but the note has a better camera than ip4.
You also have many more options inside the camera and quick options for uploading images to various apps from within the gallery.

i chickened out on getting the note when i saw the size in person..im a iphone user 4 years and omg the iphone is so small i cant go back to it too small..youll get use to the size of the note..not really pocket friendly but depends on person to person..as for battery give it time to cycle and it will improve..but battery life depends on settings/use/rooted ect.. i love my note but sadly i have another pixel issuse so this one is going back to hopeful get another one with no pixel problems.. only thing i dont like is the camera speed capture its slow for me..battery could have been a 3000mah to give it a bit extra use..sometimes it lags depends how much ram your using and crash some apps could be bugs.. im stock GB..waiting for ICS real one..dont want to install root stuff right now
i switched from iphone to and i love my note will never go back to apple. my batt life is equal to my iphone so no complaints

No polls, just say whichever phone you are considering to move after Your Galaxy S2. I've been having mine for almost 2 years, And it's been a hell of a ride, I still think it was a good purchase, as it can move most apps with no real problem. My biggest complain is the problem with the exynos source, which has made a lot of trouble for ROM developers.
Anyway, the battery life has been a bit poor lately (in comparison to nowadays phones), and the phone overall is seriously bumped after so much traveling around. Nothing serious, but I reckon in a few months it might decide to die. So I'm considering options, and not being completely satisfied. What would you guys consider to move after this one?
-Galaxy Note 2/S4: Awesome hardware (not so good design), both replaceable battery and SD card slot, rather horrible exynos support that causes rather wonky ROMs.
-HTC One: Awesome hardware and stylish, hate the lack of menu button, horrible dev support overall. No replaceable battery, no external SD card.
-Sony Experia Z: You can friggin put this thing under water. Good hardware, awesome dev support, SD card support but no replaceable battery. And I insist, you can friggin put this thing under water.
Actually I have the s2 with a spare battery, so I bet for the s4/note 2 also the new s4 chip it's supposed to bring more balance to the battery drain

Yeah actually my S2 lost is battery in 'Nam (lost it in a crazy bus ride there), so I have two unofficial spare batteries, a Momax (Japanese) and a Pilsen (Chinese). Both performed like the official, but after a year that Pilsen is aging faster. So yeah, a note 2 is a strong candidate battery wise, but a huge put off due to Exynos ****ty previous support (in our phone and the first note).
Lol... I just bought s2 today... So I can't move....

Don't worry, it's a rather solid phone, and with a spare battery you will be able to do anything you want with it. Mine has just had too much hits everywhere, and the lid is falling off already. Everything else works mostly as expected. Just frustrated with the poor support on Samsung side for their sources on Exynos.
The Galaxy S2 has amazing hardware and still beats a lot of dual core phones even today. In terms of performance I have no complains about it but things which I dislike in my Galaxy S2 is lack of Notification LED & Mediocre Battery life. Also poor AOSP support is one of the drawbacks of the phone.
My next phone has not launched yet and It should be like Galaxy S4 ( Powerful, Beautiful screen, Removable Battery + SD Card Slot) + HTC One (looks) + Awesome AOSP Support (like the Nexus) .
I'll not be moving to another phone. Had my s2 for 18 months and when my contract is up later this year I'll be keeping it. No issue with battery, makes calls, sms and t'interweb what more couldI I want or need.

You're a lucky one....But you still had it for only a year, right? Mine is about to make two, and got it with no contract, as I hate to be tied to a single operator (or even a locked phone...I travel rather much). Case is, mine got several hits, and even some water some months ago. The screen still shows spotless, but everything else shows huge scratches, and the battery lid is barely holding together. I'll keep it for as long as it works, but I just think that won't be much more...hence the thread

My contract runs out in November, so assuming its been launched, I'll go for a Nexus 5. All my android phones have ended up with AOSP on them, so I might as well get one that has pure AOSP from the start. I originally got this because 2 years ago Samsung were the only manufacturer who left their bootloaders unlocked. Look at the faff about with the original xperia, or what HTC are doing even now. But I'm sick of no source code and having to wait many, many months for an update, so definitely Nexus for me.

What do u think of Nexus 4 ? I'm thinking of moving to Nexus too so would appreciate your opinion
AW: [Q] What phone will you move on to after your Galaxy S2?
I'll keep my S2 as it performs very well and is great for customizing and repairing
I'm thinking either N7500 or Xperia Z.
Or the new Nexus. It seems like I dislike all stock firmware. I might as well get hardware that supports a free choise.
Still loving my S2, the music player is unbeatable with Sennheisers, and once you change the white balance away from Auto, the camera is brilliant.. Ive chopped and changed a lot of phones over the last year, but keep coming back to the S2, nothing beats it, even better than the One X IMO,.. seriously, but my next upgrade will be a Note 2... looks gorgeous.

I went to the AT&T store today and played with the Mega 6.3 for the first time. HOLY COW that thing is ginormous! I really did love the screen and that of course is the main reason anyone would buy this phone.
The only problem I had was that it seemed kinda laggy. It was running a store demo program that you had to exit to play with the actual device. I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
I really do want to love the Mega. I mean, I opened up a Google Play Book and it looked so beautiful reading on that massive screen. But if it is gonna be lagging, then I might have to go with the Note 3.
@Warnahly: Maybe i'll buy your Mega if I decide to go that route (if it's still around).
If they made a 6 inch note 3 I would leave the mega. Until then...... Mega is perfect for everything I do. I feel like i9200 performs better than the i9205..... weird.

What he said!
Also, regarding day to day performances of 6.3, I can't say there is anything to report one way or another.
I'm coming from the Nexus 4, which was really smooth, and the Mega isn't as smooth but it certainly isn't a bother.
Also I don't play too much 3D games (got my PC for that ) but for example, if you go highest settings on Riptide GP 2 it is really barely playable. So that's something to know if you do like that. Maybe when and if we get CM it will get better.
And lastly, my wife got the Note 2, and damn it's small . I'm sure Note 3 will destroy the Mega 6.3 when it comes to performances, so your priorities are what matter; I read, work, browse and watch videos, so I would have nothing to gain with a faster CPU and such
High end flagship phones tend to focus on boasting rights than actually giving people what they need. Mid range phones are more value for money. Why pay for specs and features you don't need? Until I find apps that I need which won't work well with the Mega, I'll be sticking to it (until the Mega 2 that is). I change phones almost every year so I'll probably get this year's high end specs on a mid range price next year.
Note 3: £649 <-- I don't think the features/specs are more than double from what you get from the Mega
Mega: £315 <-- I can get 2 of these and still get £19 change for the price of the Note 3 (for cases or sd card)

"Returning or passing on a great phone that many and I really want, because as I was swiping my homescreen it took 0,002ms longer(lag)...."
Just puting the thought out there. Everything lags in life... I can even say that mostly for humans also...
Does the Mega lag a lot? Does it lag when opening the camera? Does it lag when opening phone book? Does it lag when opening the phone dialer/call log? Does it lag when opening messages? Does it lag when opening the Market? Does it lag when opening the music player? Does it lag when opening Settings? Does it lag everytime? Does it lag everywhere?
If someone answers YES to all those above, please let me know...
Yeah man I'll wait to see what the mega 2 is all about. The note 3 screen is too small. Also that's too much money. I would have loved a 600 chip in this phone though or at least the full 2gb of ram.

Well, just to increase your excitement a little further.
I have owned just about all the flagship phones over the last 3 years. HTC one M7, 8 & 9. Galaxy note 2 & 4. Galaxy S3 & 4. Nexus 4, 5 &6. iPhone 6 & 6+. (Seriously). Alot I know.
Have never found one that i thought truely had everything. HTC's (great speakers, smooth rom, but rubbish camera. Samsung Notes and Galaxy's (Good cameras, cheap build, laggy software). Nexus devices (fast smooth OS, poor cameras and build). iPhones (stable smooth OS, good camera, locked down OS, boring).
But, the S6 edge is absolutely fantastic. The build is brilliant and beautiful, the camera is absolutely excellent and the phone is blazing fast (ignoring touchwiz redraw). I really do think that this phone is a game changer and the best device released in the last 3-4 years hands down.
So please rest assured that i think you will find that this phone is very much worth the wait. (plus there might be some custom development by the time you receive the device).
Hope you enjoy

This is great to hear. I've been worrying about choosing between this and the M9 for ages. I've had flagships forever as well, but when I saw that this one wasn't waterproof and had no expandable memory I got very sad. But looking at this and the M9 side by side, the LED display is about 999x brighter. Coming from an S5 I can't got back on a good, bright screen.
This phone is so freaking awesome...excellent build, gorgeous display and the best camera in the market (daylight and night pics)... The speakers are loud too(sound quality is decent)… Samsung set the bar really high with this one.

I did a side-by-side comparison in the store as well and to me it wasn't merely about brightness of the M9 and the S6, but the resolution really appeared to me to be much better for the S6. I'm an HTC loyalist and have been for years, but the screen and camera issues with the M9 caused me to jump ship back to Samsung, not to mention there is now a Samsung phone that has an attractive build. Fingerprint scanning and wireless charging were big plusses as well. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and decision.
I don't think you'll be disappointed at all. The only thing that isn't up to par with the Ones IMO is the speakers, and who listens to high end audio through their phone's speakers expecting greatness anyway. Heck, I never did that with my One.
Did anyone mention too that the cameras are amazing?!? LOL simply put, I reiterate everyone else's sentiments that this is the best phone I have owned to date and I've had many of the flagship devices. I also was always opposed to not being able to change the battery or expand the storage but I haven't had issues with the battery or storage yet! I know it isn't the "post your photo" section but this is one I took at night that is unedited. Best night shot on a cell phone I've ever owned.

I too echo everyone's praise of this device. I've had them all also (my friends & family call me an addict). So for what it is worth, this is the best! [emoji6]

Well, just to increase your excitement a little further.
I have owned just about all the flagship phones over the last 3 years. HTC one M7, 8 & 9. Galaxy note 2 & 4. Galaxy S3 & 4. Nexus 4, 5 &6. iPhone 6 & 6+. (Seriously). Alot I know.
Have never found one that i thought truely had everything. HTC's (great speakers, smooth rom, but rubbish camera. Samsung Notes and Galaxy's (Good cameras, cheap build, laggy software). Nexus devices (fast smooth OS, poor cameras and build). iPhones (stable smooth OS, good camera, locked down OS, boring).
But, the S6 edge is absolutely fantastic. The build is brilliant and beautiful, the camera is absolutely excellent and the phone is blazing fast (ignoring touchwiz redraw). I really do think that this phone is a game changer and the best device released in the last 3-4 years hands down.
So please rest assured that i think you will find that this phone is very much worth the wait. (plus there might be some custom development by the time you receive the device).
Hope you enjoy

My list isn't as robust, but I've owned and used a lot of phones, and the S6 Edge is the first time since the freaking Galaxy Nexus that I can recall being genuinely excited about a new phone and not just "oh hey that looks rad I want it." From the moment I saw the S6 Edge I had a moment of "well I'm getting that." The Nexus 6, the M9, those didn't really grip me. They're fine phones, but nothing that made me almost annoyed at the knowledge that I'd be getting ANOTHER phone.
I'm not going to call the S6 Edge perfect, but I will say that it's the closest I have EVER run across. I have my quirks with TouchWiz still, it's a bit too slippery for comfort, and TBH the whole edge thing is, as yet, a bit gimmicky. The notifications are... okay, and the clock is nice, but I don't put a lot of mileage into them.
What the S6 Edge nails is just the intangibles. I haven't just wanted to PLAY with a phone since I got the iPhone 5s. Even when I have nothing to do, when I'm sitting at my laptop, I find myself looking for excuses.

I did not go through as many phones as you but I would say a new one every 6 months and I feel the exact same way , the galaxy s6 edge is finally a smart phone with everything I want from build quality to camera .
Let's see if it can last the full 12 months lol
Do you guys think quick charge makes up for the small battery?. That's the only thing that disappoints me, the battery life
I LOVE my HTC one m8 and haven't had a Samsung since the original note, it's great to hear these comments and I can't wait to get mine! Going to be a long week whilst I'm waiting.

I know there are a number of users who are complaining about battery life but mine is ok. Averaging around 4-5h screen time. Not great but not bad. Fast charge however is excellent. It charges extremely quickly. I have also purchased a koolpad qi charger and this works brilliantly. A bigger battery would of been nice but then that means a bigger heavier phone.
My battery life has been considerably better than my HTC One M8 was (also owned an M7). Both HTC's were good phones, but the S6 Edge is *amazing* in so many departments... loving my purchase decision.
Like my note 7 had so many features , such as place phone face down to silence call. Or keep phone screen on by looking at it etc. This phone just seems really barebones. Even tho it's very snappy. I think when note 8 comes around I'll switch. I wish I could get those aforementioned features

U really had to start a new thread for this? I'm guessing since the Note 7 recall, this was your only choice?

Note 7 is good for a stranded person in the middle of the woods. Bam camp fire!

G5 is also packed with features and you can also silence the call when you place the phone face down ..just sayin...
Note 7 was a great device though..
(Especially during the winter)

I like the Lg G5 massively over the note 7 just for the wide angle camera alone. Keeping the phone screen on while looking at it is possibly the worst gimmick ever.

I wish it did have the screen stay on feature when watching a video on Facebook or whatnot where you gotta move the screen once in a while to stop it from dimming. Yeah the note 7 was a failure and it also was a slow phone (Snapdragon model) but this phone having the same chip runs a lot better. Must be better optimized. The note 7 cam does beat the main cam on this phone tho, it also took HDR pics super fast. Pros and cons to everything.

No, I love the G5
Let's get this clear the G5 has the face down silence option, and if it's packed with features, u just have to look for them in the settings, and beside all that the wide angle lens is the most innovative camera feature ever on a smartphone, what would u do if u had a pixel ?
Coming from Motorola, Lenovo, and Huawei phones, and just looking at stock settings on the G5, I'm pretty impressed by what LG included. Just to be able to change global font and theme without root would've been revolutionary to me not that long ago. Granted, the LG store is relatively young/limited -and I've no idea where it will go- but it's a promising starting point. 360 wideangle live wallpaper with wideangle camera lens to make your own (eventually), drag-and-drop touch button settings, multiwindow, shortcut key commands, as small a detail as battery percentage preference... Many of these things we're used to as root mods, and in that sense they may be boring, but to have them as part of the stock basis makes me look forward to expansions of customization in the not-too-distant future, if not by LG in their store, then by the enthusiasts in this realm. It's encouraging, far from boring!
