Is the Galaxy Note 4 your first Samsung phone? (poll)

I am buying a Galaxy Note 4 on Friday. This will be my first ever Samsung phone.
I've previously avoided them due to the extra software, but this time around the combination of hardware was just too much. I really like phones that feature capacitive buttons because I think it's much more efficient, and that really reduces the number of high end flagship phones a lot.
I wish the phone were slightly smaller, but I'll manage.
What about the rest of you? Is this is your first Samsung phone? (poll in thread, please vote)

Not my first, just upgraded from S4 GT-i9506. Picked up my new Note 4 today and I'm already loving it

I've stuck with samsung as I think keeping SDCard support, unlocked bootloader (although now with the new KNOX it voids warranty) and replaceable battery are worth the extra (albeit small due to my carrier) bloatware added to their devices and all the bloat can be removed (depending on your carrier).
Previously I had the Galaxy 5 (not the S5) and the Galaxy S3

No, moved on from GS3. Won't be rooting it for at least a year I guess so don't care about knox counter, most unwanted bloatware can be disabled unlike the GS3 at the beginning, so yeah, having fun with N4 so far.

I've seen the light. Ditching my iphone. I just want the freedom of android and the superior hardware of the Note.

From Samsung Galaxy S2 which was my first smartphone to Samsung Galaxy note 4.
There is something about Samsung electronics as a whole that appeal to me.
My TV is a sammy and my next one will be as well...

SIII was my first Samsung phone

I got an S2 around the time the S4 came out. Untill now i really liked my s2's screen as the colours and blacks were a lot better compared to other phones like iphone and most lcd screens
now i finally got my note 4 and every morning when i wake up i'm like wow its amazing
Its the first one i actually paid myself so its a yes and a no to me

Had a tmobile camera samsung phone back in 2001 or 2002. Then had numerous other phones. And the Galaxy S1, Note 2, Note 4.

Nope had Samsung Epic 4G before.

No, I had a S2, S3 and have a Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) besides my new Note 4.
I'm not a Samsung fanboy though, I really hate their update politics and I'm not a fan of their bloatware. Touchwiz is okay though.
On the other hand I like their hardware and of course the stylus that comes along with the Note series.
The Samsung service in Germany is also pretty good.

First Samsung phone, yes, but I have Note 10.1 tablet and it's quite great even for his age. I wrote hundreds of pages on it.

It's not my first Samsung, but it is my first note. my first Samsung was the Reality u820

Nope, I had a Galaxy s2 first then a Galaxy s4 after that, both phones lasted perfectly until upgrade time, including great battery life and Android updates.

First smartphone was a nokia n8.?
later i had a HTC Desire and HTC one x
I wanted a fast phone with sd and removable battery and choose for note 4
I like it very much and it's my best and fastest phone ever

Started with the Captive -> S2 -> Note 1, S3, Note3, S4, and now Note 4

Nope, upgraded from my GS4 32GB I9500 3weeks ago to my metal beauty Note 4
Also had S2 16GB and S3 32GB, so its in no way my 1st Samsung, and if the Note 5 is even better than this awesome thing then I wont be leaving Samsung anytime soon.

HTC WFS - Nexus 4 - Nexus 5 - Note 4

Ive had the S2, S3, S4, Note 3 and Note 4. S3 being the weakest link, Note 4 being the strongest.
Just never liked the design on the S3 in comparison to the others. Too organic for my taste. Like the Nexus 6.

So we'll get it in 2017 most likely.

Id say more like 2020

Check sammobile last firmware for n910c was 01 of August and for n910f some day in July.
So guess when

Haha so ironic. Maybe we will got it nearly 2020.

I'd say 2220. And it'll be buggy and kill our batteries.

M? what about 5.1.1? Samsung, I hate you.

M will come in the beginning of 2016 in a version so bad that it will make your phone useless to celebrate the release of the S7.
Yes I'm a seer lol.

When?We wait Lollipop 5.1.1 and who know when we get,so M come but we dont be live or our note 4.

Android Lollipop was also confirmed to the note 2. xD

What I find very instructive is that GS5 isn't in the list. It will not even have 18 months of updates.
IMHO, if Samsung don't want us to buy their devices, they can just tell us. It's far more simple that showing us at every occasion that they don't care about their customers.

Android 6.0? I'm still waiting for damn 5.1.1.

I think Samasung talk some sh ite

Its gonna be a while before Huwaeis Nexus 6 or Note 6 (hopefully with microsd and IR, replacable battery comes out). So Note 4 with Android M would be sweet. Hopefully it will release by new year!

I'll believe it when I see it. Samsung can't even clean up their act when it comes to Lollipop.

I think it's going to be in 2020 when note 10 comes out

Incredible to me how much time and emotion is spent feeding the rumor mill.

Keep dreaming, this is freaking unbelievable QUALCOMM's Note 4 already in 5.1.1 and Exynos which is the international Unlocked, nothing, Note 4 will never see android M other than ported rom, or CM

Note 5 ,android 6.0.1

Does anybody have news about Note 5 update?
Even my potato is now running android M, and my Note 5 is just on the waiting queue .
Dumb Samsung.
They better do it well this time, or I have to leave Samsung galaxy series till the end of my life. :crying:

samsung is fast in making identical looking models, they are best in hardware but epic fail in software.

Can't say that I'm surprised. But our phone would have benefited from a better, more system wide multi window.

I doubt it because in 2017, that's beyond's note 4's 2 year support. 2016 is the end. and also, if you look at the Note 3, it got its last update in dec. 2015 and it is still 5.0. That was "27" months of support for the Note3.
Using the note 3 as the base, if we were to get android 7, we would have to get it by dec. 2016.

Yea your right. But that is assuming Samsung release Android 7 "on time". Looking back at Android 6, it came out of Google on October 2016. The first note 4s got Marshmellow around June 2016, 8 months after Google released it. But this is still within note 4's 2 year period (note 4 came oUT on Oct. 2014).
Since android 7 was released in Aug 2016, this means that Samsung has around 4 months to release Android 7 to us before 2016 is over. Looking at the past examples, now do you see why I doubt we will get it? Of course this is all my speculation and I'll happily be wrong if do end up getting it.

Samsung mostly gives 2 major system updates to any flagship phone.
Since gingerbread i have been observing that every two version of android looks similar .
Excluding honeycomb cause it was only for tabs.
That also explains why every two versions of touchwiz look similar.
Gingerbread and ICS had many similarities, jelly bean and kitkat had similarities and also lollipop and marshmallow.
This is why the odd galaxy notes(1,3,5) have always been lucky .
There last update isn't similar to previous one , infact there is a major change in terms of UI and features.
For eg. Note 1's last update was jellybean , which was completely different than ICS .
Same for note 3 , whose last update was lollipop , a major upgrade over kitkat .
But unfortunately the even notes have been unlucky.
The note 2's last update was kitkat , which wasn't a big upgrade over jellybean , the UI was almost identical.
And as for the note 4 ,its last update is marshmallow , which samsung decided not to modify for note 4 and hence looks similar to lollipop.

Will we get Android 8 on the Galaxy Tab S2?

Will we get Android 8 on the Galaxy Tab S2?

maybe 2016 edition- t713 719 813 819...

I've waited for this thread to emerge... And it took only one day. Ask Samsung.

Very sad if that's true [emoji24]

I was thinking that the 8" version may get it, whilst the 9.7" may not. The 8" is still the 8" flagship device but the 9.7" has been superseded by the S3.
Regarding Exynos vs Snapdragon, for the Exynos 2015 version, will be interesting to see what happens to the note 4 (which has the same chipset?)
Knowing Samsung, if any of our devices do get it, we will be waiting until summer 2018.

Delete - mis-post

The Tab S2 9.7" T819 has a possibility of getting Android 8.0 Oreo because mine only had two updates. The updates included Android 7.1 and Security updates. The next update might be the Android 8.0 Oreo because i think the maximum updates for each mobile made by Samsung is 3 since my parents' phones had already updated 3 times
