Then one realizes that the all new phone which will cost 790 euros will do exactly the same things of the phone you have already fully paid, tweaked, and are accustomed to.

Basically he says:
- white is better
- not waterproof, what a pity
- multitasking, Android L style
- larger font on screen
- he likes Gmail last version
- note edge not good for left handed people
- not comfortable for small screen gesture
- swipe in and out window for menu back and home buttons
- display of vanilla version slightly better than edge version, white slightly brighter, and more space for photos
- he wouldn't but coming from note 3 (actually he says he will but just because he's a geek. also says that coming from note 2 it could be an advancement)

interesting.....noticed the oculus a while ago...pretty cool, versatile for smartphone usage...I've played around with VR goggles, glasses, gloves, haptics and the like...so I got an idea what I feel comfy with .

Me ....I been saving my pennies for my next gadget purchase in the VR category....and this is what I'm aiming to buy. Works with smartphone or comp.
Don't need your device to hand ....so to speak.
Not interested in the recharging aspect of the commercial model...more interested in the devel model...

Hmmm...that doesn't look like a happy face giving the news on the price...

hmmm...Nope...not for me at that price with little diff compared to the note 3....they are smartening up and doing big iphone type hype for little real delivery...(terrible advertising though)....just like iphone....brilliant.

hmmm again.... ....no one told them that the neo is the device to spend that kind of money on....

I liked how the Original Note was equal to the Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Nexus in terms of pricing. It was roughly $600-650, given availability.

The Note 2 didn't improve much over its predecessor, and remained close in price.

The Note 3 was a drastic improvement over the Note 2. However, its price was increased to roughly $700 or $750 if you were unlucky.

Now Samsung is pricing the Note 4 even higher!!
Its offering the latest flagship for a whopping $800!

And what I think about that?
Well, you do get more phone for less price compared to an iPhone. But the iPhone is at least a great designed product, and has a much better SDK which yields better quality Apps. Has as good quality parts, much better customer support, feels and looks more premium and has much better support (hardware and software) by third-party vendors.

But getting something like a Brand New 32GB Black N9005 is more bang for your buck than a shiny Note 4.
And even better is to get something like the OnePlus One, 64GB for $350.

So if you were to argue that Android/Note 4's advantages over the iPhone are valid to put it on-par in terms of value-for-money... then I could tell you, you could purchase three OnePlus One (64GB) models for the price of a single Note 4 or iPhone.

And its a device which is as good as the alternatives... well, almost.

Kangal...Kangal...Kangal...
You never cease to wow...
Gotta admit 1 +1 is pretty wow...
Kah-pa-ow wow in fact
...that is a pretty slick device for the price...
even has microsd slot
too bad about the embedded battery...but not quite a deal breaker.
Pretty nice ...very impressed..
Fact is...
If I wasn't fixated on the neo...and had no other choice past the gurgle or foxonfire phones...
I'd be hunting down a decent android...
