Move From Alpha - Samsung Galaxy Alpha

Hi all friends
from last 5 months, i m using alpha
i want to change my phone now
Plz suggest me best phones under 10-25k
i want to switch to oneplus x
will it be worthy ?

Why you will do that?
Alpha is ellegant, powerful device.
It will get Marshallow in Q2 2016.
I changed iPhone 6 64GB to Alpha about a half year ago and save 400€.
I bought 2500mAh battery and it is great.
I dont want bigger device than 4,7".

I have a oneplus x and I ordered a alpha. I'll post feedback in few days if anyone still interested.

Ran benchmark, am I reading results right? The alpha seems to get better results?

Any special settings to get this result? Mine Alpha got 40051... mostly due to UX score (8536) half away of yours...

Exynos variants usually score around 50k on Antutu (see here). Maybe you had power saving options turned on.

I ran another test, got better results (much more closer to average benchmarks on Alpha): 49067 (UX: 14445).

Pretty good score. Ran mine again, also just for fun ran z5c:

If your not using your screen much which clearly your not then it is going to be something other than screen at the top, learn how percentages work.

Actually it IS a known issue and there are a few threads on it already.
How is this an issue? Like Lennyuk said, if you don't use your phone that much, then obviously standby would be the nr. 1. power drain.
Actually, both arguments could be correct...
Unless the stock software is extremely efficient, and makes the screen somehow super efficient, then it would be normal for standby to be that high. Another point to note, is are you complaining about battery life? or just the fact that a number on some statistics is high and you don't like it?
The counter argument to that is, if you look at mine on CM9, cell standby is a lot lower. Make of that what you want.

Comparison to the Note 2
http://tinypic.com/m/fz1xsk/3
Thanks bro that was a great unboxing. Appreciate that you took the time to do that for those of us that dont have the phone yet or are still deciding to pull the trigger and commit to the Note 3.
Great vid and pics... makes me very excited that I bought the black version. Now I can't sleep the phone will be at my house in 12 hours.
Thanks guys! And no problem. I'm definitely already in love with this phone.

I need to really go check out the black version and see how the feel is. I have white and it feels really slippery in my hand. If the black one feels better I'll be replacing it.

I think you'll definitely find that the black feels much better, if you haven't already.

Yep I got the black and loving it. Feels much better.

Is it worth it to replace the S4 with an Ultra?

Hello everyone I hope you all are having a wonderful day.
The Xperia Z Ultra is very cheap in my area right now, $350, and am now wondering if I should replace my Galaxy S4 with this device.
For those of you who have had this device for a while, do you guys think that it would be a worthwhile upgrade?
I also have a Nexus 7, so I sort of understand how this phone would feel in my hands.
Also is the battery life and camera as bad as people say it is?
Thank you for reading and I can't wait to hear your replies.
I would definitely do it. It's not as big as the Nexus 7, but it's still pretty big for a phone. You do get used to the size pretty quickly though. The camera is not directly good, but it's not incredibly bad either. It performs OK in daylight. You can go through the Photos thread and see for yourself. The one posted here was taken a couple of weeks ago by me.
The battery is actually very good. You can check out the Battery thread yourself, but you can expect to get around 5-8 hours of screen time depending on usage.

The camera is ok in really bright locations, if it's anything other than sunny, it's terrible. I just moved from a nexus 5 to this phone, GPe, not sure I'm going to keep using as my main phone.
battery life is great, considering it has such a huge screen
camera is not as great as others. this is a tablet-like phone, not a phone focusing on camera.
if you want a good camera, look elsewhere.
Just learn how to use the camera and it's not too bad in lower light
Battery life isn't bad.. Actually pretty good especially when brand new. Close to two days when new but after many hours of heavy online gaming the battery life has dropped on mine. Still get about a day though.
I recently ordered a Z Ultra online, and now it's on its way!
Can't wait! Thanks for all the reply's! :highfive:

Benchmarks Thread

Hi everyone.
Now I know that benchmarks are relatively pointless, as my Mate 2 scores about 5000 more points than my old Note 2, yet they feel very comparable in performance.
I also own an Xperia Z Ultra, which is pretty fast, scoring about 37000 in Antutu, but I can't say I particularly enjoy using it compared to the Mate 2, even though it has has a 6.44" 1080p screen and a Snapdragon 800.
I also briefly owned a brand new Oneplus One till my girlfriend decided she loved it and she wanted it as her new phone, lol and that thing is like lightning, scoring about 47000 points just at stock with no tweaks to it, yet again, I don't actually like the device as much as my Mate 2 for some reason. I think the stupendous battery life of the Mate 2 is more Important to me than raw speed for what I use my phone for.
I was curious about how the Hisilicon Kirin 910 in my MT2-L05 stacks up against the Snapdragon in the MT2-L03.
Anyway, Here are my scores with Antutu Benchmark :

... I was not expecting that!
I'm surprised too, my HAM2 just feels so snappy. I dread using anything else like my tablet, laptop, TV, etc... because everything else around me seems to be laboring through tasks while my HAM2 zips along without complaint.

I'm surprised too. I thought they would be closer. Maybe the 4.4.2 update has given the China versions a better score? Although saying that, I benchmarked twice with Antutu when I first got my phone on 4.2.2 and that gave me around 28,500 both times.
Benchmarks now, for me anyway, don't really mean anything. I use to be one of those "gotta have the fastest" types, but,
the Mate2 changed my perspective. For what I use, mainly phone, web, text, photos, the Mate2 is fast. The price & the battery
won me over, but the performance is fast enough. All these new hot rod devices are just overkill.

Battery life as a normal smartphone

Hi all,
I'm about to purchase this beautiful phone, but as I'm not planning on any heavy mobile gaming ( believe it or not, I just like Asus, ROG, the audio setup and the form factor), I'm very interested in knowing how the battery life is with regular use.
No official review goes too much in depth on this matter.
How is the standby time, SOT, using it as a regular smartphone (mail, social, youtube, camera etc)?
Thanks a lot for your input!
This is the first phone I've ever owned where I get 2 full days. I lose 2 or 3% overnight. Overall, battery life is amazing.
You must have everything turned off. I am not even close to that on stand by ...
I came from a Pixel 2 XL. All my apps are the exact setting and the Pixel 2 XL has a smaller battery and it last longer the entire day then the ROG phone
With this phone I am having to find ways to get better life. pixel 2 XL didn't do any or that. On my pixel 2 XL I even have Always On and music ID turned on
ROG Phone owners will have to wait for custom kernels and maybe even custom ROMs because something is eating the 4000 mah battery of this phone like nothing. Many tests have proven a poor battery life, very poor considering the battery size.
Whatever it is ... It's in the system

It does seem clearly off. Do you have the WW or Chinese version?

Post the picture of the battery usage to zentalk forums too the staff there maybe can give the engineers something to go off of
Battery life is ok, Will last me about a day with normal usage and 8 with heavy ones. I got rid of FB and use metal instead. I use black theme in all The app offering it as well.
