I always had the thought that Samsung rushed the Note 7 so they can better focus on the S8 lineup which'll actually be a huge game changer compared to S7E and Note 7. Does anyone know what would likely happen to rooted device if this recall does happen?

Believe they will just exchange any Note 7 on the spot with your receipt, dun think will go through your phone. They do not have time to do that after angering all their users.
Let’s forget the promo of the new Gear VR and the MicroSD card 256GB for the owners the previous Galaxy Note range ...... Let’s forget that I should have to receive the Note 7 three days before the official release ... Let’s forget that for 11 days my pre-order was stuck in limbo in an order development phase.....
After this I call the Call Center .... arrogant, overbearing, without the slightest empathy ... they tell me that I will receive a refund within 7 days if I cancel my order, because no one knows to tell you when the Note 7 will be available, then I receive an email confirmation That I canceled my order and… surprise surprise: "the credit to your account may take up to 14 days".
All in all I'm lucky, because my girlfriend bought it through the bank, and she already paid the first instalment ... and surprise surprise AGAIN..... The Call Center says to her: "You have to have patience, you have to wait" For HOW LONG?
Finally I with the Galaxy S7 Edge Galaxy Note 5 am done with SAMSUNG, I had all the Galaxy S line, the entire Galaxy Note line…...
But the Galaxy S7 Edge and Galaxy Note 5 were my LAST SAMSUNG products.
All this being said, anyone from Europe, in fact worldwide let’s join forces on social media and shame them.

Hi all,
I have 2 Yotaphones 2 (one for private use, one company). Great devises, especially the business use. Now my son's birthday is coming up and he wants a Yotaphone, too (no iPhone! . Does anyone know what happened to the yotaphone 3? It was announced to be released in Q1 this year in cooperation with ZTE to increase availability and reduce price. Since then (Q3 2015), nothing has happened.
Does anyone know more?
Cheers
Andreas

Based on a few Russian articles I found, it would seem that their new Chinese overlords were not willing to take the risk launching Yotaphone 3 during the original Summer of 2016 launch window. And now that the window has closed, so they have to renew the device specs to match the market. The new estimate would be Summer of 2017 earliest.
Source: http://izvestia.ru/news/632694 (you can get the main idea with Google Translate)
It was confirmed by yota that it's in development. Probably it will be available this year (2017)
The Instagram account of Yota Devices unexpectedly displayed a new post in early march mentioning the 3rd generation of their device :
https://www.slashgear.com/the-yotaphone-3-is-still-coming-or-so-it-seems-06477241/
That's all we get since the time they abruptly went in silent service.
A five inch colour e-ink screen would truly be aweinspiring
With latest news it seems that Chinese stakeholders don't want to put their money for the launching of YotaPhone 3 as of now (which russians have already developed-designed). Hence, postponing its launch obliges YotaDevices to re-do from scratch the designed YotaPhone 3, because hardware components become old rapidly.
Yesterday I saw a YD206 for 95€ on AliExpress and I think it's worth it, expecially with the MM update coming out.
Do you guys know what the teaser on the website is about? Could it really be the Yotaphone 3? I honestly didn't expect that any more.

There have been a number of rumors around other dual screen phones, none of which I've seen on the market yet. At some point even the Xiami Mi4 was supposed to come with dual screen...
at youtube - hisense a2 at ces 2017
seeing their EPD, got ghosting and black is still "gray". maybe later they will improve it.
for me compare to yotaphone 2 more better but until MM update.. more ghosting..
but for yotaphone 3 teaser image, shape nearly same with hisense a2..
Ok, so the design of yota3 is kind of iphonenish...

Just got the Yotaphone 3 as a gift. Has dual SIM slots (2nd SIM doubles as a TF card).
I can install Google package from it's appstore BUT can't get contact to sync with Google; Google contact apps doesn't work properly.
The 2nd screen only works with Kindle China version only (can log in with US account).
Overall an intriguing phone but not practical for me unless there's a non-China version.
I just received the hisense a2 from China here in United States. And. It seems to work quite well on att with the option to mirror full android on eink. If you cannot mirror the main screen on the eink screen in yp3 this is a mistake in the software design. Yp2 offered full android on the eink side In their latest russian firmware.
I have just bought the Yotaphone 3, however I can't mirror the main screen onto the eink screen of my Yota 3. I have the Yotaphone 2, so would there by a way to port the Yotahub/Yotacover/Yotapanel apps from the 2 to the 3? Also, all the instructions are in Chinese which is slightly annoying. Do you think the mirroring function would be added later by an update? Thanks
Possible YP3 Changes.
Depends on if the same developers (as YP2) are responsible for the updates in YP3 (HK).
In YP2, they prioritized RU versions (not the HK version). But some of the firmware changes/useful addons over time were significant with EU/HK and especially RU.
With the new CN/RU partnership, who knows. I am waiting until someone (preferably in English) demonstrates a good software update with YP3 (and a decrease in price) before pulling the trigger.
We should see the official announcement of the Note 8 in the next few months possibly as soon as August. Here is the run down of everything we know so far about the Galaxy Note 8!
Who else is getting amped up about this phone? Also what is the main feature you are looking forward to when it comes to the Note 8?
I can't wait for the Note 8 it will be an awesome phone! Still seething after the loss of my Note 7 but currently rocking an S8+ which is a fantastic phone so any improvement on it in the guise of the new Note will make it the best phone of 2017

I ****ing hate that guy. low quality videos with false information and clickbait titles. and now tries to get views by posting this useless crap here. lousy selfpromo.
I am still using my 2nd batch 100% charging silver note 7 since august 2016, so far so good, but I am eagerly waiting for the note 8
Looking forward to the release of Note8 after last year's Note7 fiasco, currently on the S7edge. Hope to see guys from the Note7 India thread from last year. Please share your views & input.
Samsung Korea posted this video, looks like a dope camera on the Note8
So the S8+ is retailing at 64.5k, looks like the Note8 would debut at around 70k mark, that would be very very pricey & a deal breaker.

I am also planning to go for Note 8, currently on S7 Edge 128 GB version. Is there a word on if the Emperor Edition (256 GB) will be available in India. Also, what is the best way (financially) to swap S7 edge with note 8

don't known about the Note8 versions that would be launched, Samsung India is notoriously very lazy in releasing any details about any new launches. Last I took out the valuation of my 11 month old s7edge 32 GB, couple of guys quoted max 21k. The resale value really tanks after a few months.

Note 8 64gb for 74990rs... Will have black and gold intially... Will get purple by October mid/end...
I would say it's a deal breaker... And no prime edition to be launched 256g won't be intro'd as it's exclusive to South Korea.. and will be launched there by Sept end...

A note with the Spen simply has no other alternative imo. Regarding cases & scree protectors still not many choices even on Amazon US.

Had a hands on with the device in Changi airport where I was transiting.
1. Hot damn. It feels huge in the hand(That's what she said ?) .
2. The s-pen is neat. Very responsive. Impressed.
3. The camera interface although elaborate seems to be a bit clunky and the the live focus is really aggressive. The potential is definitely there. Besides, the demo units might not be running the final retail version of the software.
4. Battery definitely a concern.
5. And the big one, the fingerprint scanner requires some unwanted hand gymnastics. Pretty sure, people will get used to it but it is by no means a simple one-handed device.
And the kicker ? The price at the Singapore airport is 61.5K (Amazon India is gonna sell it for 75k on launch day)
Waiting for Apple's event now...

Since all Samsung devices are Make in India stuff, why are the prices so high in India. Also Make in India is a big export initiative how will such pricy devises compete in exports where the prices are 20% off Indian prices.

So with the Note 9 only about 1 months and 7 days away and plenty rumours/leaks going, are you considering upgrading your Note 8 and if so, what would be your main decider/s for doing so?
I'm well happy with N8 but if I for under 1k can get 512gb storage, 8gb ram, closer to 4000mah battery (maybe even faster charging) camera even better than S9+, upgraded front cam (maybe even a dual) s-pen we know will come with new stuff just not what yet.
Improved DeX experience, Bixby 2.0
Stereo speakers
What else could sway you?
Forget about the under screen fp scanner, it won't happen

Nah in Dubai, we usually don't have to wait that long for Samsung and Apple phones to reach us!
Definitively NO, I am happy with my note 8, I will wait for the note 10, I think a major leap will come with it, all rumors and leaks do not justify the expense, imho
I am not going to upgrade my Note 8. The only issue I have with the note8, is the lack of stereo speakers and a few scratches on the glass. Since my warranty lasts until November 2018 I I will probably get my screen repaired under warranty in August or September and then I'll be set with my note8 until next year and I'll either get the S10 Plus or the Note 10 depending on how quickly I want to get a new phone.
My battery life is fantastic, and the phone seems to run better than it did when I got it in September 2017.
I'm sure the note 9 is going to be an amazing phone, but I can wait until March or later for the S10. I'm not skipping that generation of phone if they managed to deliver on some of this stuff that Samsung has been developing

August 9, is the reveal in New York, and it may be a week later to preorder madness.
With T-Mobile JOD I will definitely be moving up from the Note 8 to the 9
Don't think so
no
No, no and no.
If Note 9 is the same form factor (dimensions and curves) and forced OS with Note 8 I won't bother. In fact, I am about to get rid of my Note 8 and return to Galaxy Note 4 or 3. Of just get an iPhone 8 and always carry a piece of paper and a pencil.
Nope. Pixel 3xl or big iPhone x
I've been eyeing up the Razer Phone or the Asus ROG phone. I'll keep my note 8 since I really do like it. But the gaming phones seem like they would be fun devices, especially with the unlocked bootloaders. Razer has one and Asus has historically allowed it. Still have my pixel too but I think project treble is going to solve the reason I got that one. Was pretty disappointed note 8 never had PT.

Nah I'm sticking with the note 8. No point upgrading every year. 24 months is better
So I was still in the fence about getting this or the x2 pro... But eglobal have all but stopped stocking the 9t. An and the news recently that xiaomi has discontinued the phone! Wow it's not even a year old....
What gives?
The Mi10 will come out next week and be the successor of the Mi 9 series. So I advise you to wait until the next model is released, I expect a price drop on the old models.
that's the reality of buying a xiaomi phone, you should buy it within the first two months of release, or buy it a year later when the new version is released and the phone you wanted gets a price cut.
I would still buy the 9t/pro over the mi 10 or a newer phone because I don't like the notch or punch hole in the screen.
hopefuly xiaomi releases a 10t with popup camera and 120hz OLED screen later in the year (or maybe a under screen camera)

This will become a norm going forward, as tech advances at a rapid pace, 1 phone model won't get a full year in the market.
Once discontinued from production, for how long Xiaomi continues to provide OTA updates?
Usually about 2 years after the sale stopped (so in total 3 years). In the second year maybe 1-3 updates, in the third 1-2. This might change with Android 10 though, as less integration work is needed for updates.

Well under Android, phones must be get a minimum of 2 major OS updates, so it shipped with Pie so we will get Android 11, after that it's up to Xiaomi if they want to continue supporting or not, most likely they won't though.
