It isn't that, the 4K 30fps video recording uses about 1.65GB for a 5 minute video, that was using the AVC encode which had a bitrate close to 50Mbps. If recorded with the HEVC encode, I would assume Samsung would drop the Bitrate in half to about 25Mbps, which would produce over an 800MB file...

The addition of 4K 60fps recording is a great improvement. Also, the fact that you have the option to choose the HEVC encode if you want to record with the newer encoder to save space and for better quality, unless the bitrate is dropped dramatically. Or choose AVC to record videos that can be...

I think that use to be true, Note 3 over the GS4 and Note 4 over the GS5. Now a days the only thing the Note line has going for it is that it brings the stylus and those few extra features. The Note 5 was a larger GS6, the Note 7 brought the Iris scanner, and the Note 8 brought 6GB of RAM and...

I received my Note 4 on 10/13/14, T-Mobile version and it is still going strong. Last year I had to replace the couple of OEM batteries with an Anker battery because they both caused to the phone to shut off at 20% and 10%. After that, the phone hasn't had any issues. I honestly never noticed...

The removable battery and the sd card removal at first were big reasons I stayed with my day one Note 4, thankfully they brought back the sd card slot at least. I was considering upgrading this year, both batteries were failing and I thought it may be an issue with the phone. Then I bought an...

Re: I think it will have a 4000 battery I don't see why they would do it. Last year the GS7 Edge had a 3,600 mAh battery and the Note 7 had a 3,500mAh battery. They need room for the S-Pen while keeping the design they want. A smaller battery seem like the reasonable trend for the Note 8.

PPI barely mean anything of importance, you look at the resolution, not the PPI. A 1440p 5 Inch phone will have a higher PPI count than a 5.8 inch phone, but the resolution is the same. NO difference as long as the content and image rendered is also 1440p. Surprise, a 4K 65 inch TV only has...

I've seen a couple of Youtube video in which people are showing the GS8 having great focus when they are recording video in 30fps, but as soon as they start recording at 60fps, the camera is extremely slow to focus. From what I can see in those videos, it look like the phone turns off the Dual...

Yeah I bought a Note 4 upfront from T-mobile online the day of the release to use on the MetroPCS. About $800, and not only do they keep their apps in there, they won't unlock it unless you use their service for 40 days. That pisses me off even more, paying $800 and they won't unlock it right...

Note Plateaus are and did the Note 5 age better than the GS6 with the same hardware? Samsung isn't the best at optimizing the software. Did they actually improve the software between the GS6 to the Note 5?

Not a night and day difference between the S line and the Note line, but a difference. If it plateaued, then between the GS7 and the GS8 there would have been no need to switch from the S820 to the S835. No need to add a new camera sensor on the GS8 over the GS7 for example. They could have just...

Um, we're not talking about screen resolution between those phones. I'll just quote myself from another post. Now I really didn't even have to use screen resolution in those devices, but I did so for the Note 4. Now compare that to the difference between the GS6 and the Note 5 and then the...

Look at the separation between the GS4 and the Note 3 and the GS5 and the Note 4. Then compare it to the separation of the GS6 to the Note 5 and the the GS7 to the Note 7. Compare the Note 3 to the GS5 and the Note 4 to the GS6 as well. In short, progress was always made before the Note 5 became...

I guess all that is left for the Note 8 is possibly a dual camera and maybe 6GB of RAM. Screen might just be 0.1 inches bigger than the GS8+ I thought an onscreen fingerprint reader would be a good way to separate GS8+ and the Note 8, but without it and for the extra cost, I see no point in not...

The S8 took over the size of the Note 7 while offering a new SoC, a new camera sensor, and even a redesign. So it justified the GS8 being priced the same as the Note 7 or what the Note line was. The GS8+ has a $100 premium because of the larger screen. We don't know what the Note 8 will bring...
