Anybody check out the Note Edge? Picked one up last week. Rooted and cutsom rom now on board. Kind of a niche phone and its community support may not last too long but I like it.

That was one of most sexy collections of pre 2015. Happy new note from a note user.

Yes, unfortunately I don't need another note this year LG finally coming up with a stylus phone competitor. Will be interesting to compare.

Competition is good! I'm not too familiar with LG. Wonder how software that utilizes pen will be different.
So which will come out first. The Note 5 or the Jolla Tablet?




EDIT: Just saw this link...

I sort of guessed these specs, but never guessed they'd announce it or release it in June. I was expecting Novemberish.

5.9 inch
4K display
New beefy Exynos processor
New front-back cameras
New fingerprint reader
SGS6 styling
No waterproofing, No repl-battery, No microSD, No dualSIM.
Edge variant
VR head unit (and advertising)
A larger battery (3,500mAh ?)
8.9mm thickness

I wasn't expecting:
June release/announcement
7.0mm thickness
4,100mAh battery

And we already know its draw-backs:
Android 5.0 instead of Android 5.1
TouchWizz is still full of bloat
KNOX security prevents warranties
Lack of documentation and sources make porting AOSP a challenge, and Ubuntu/SailOS/Nemo/FFOS an impossibility
Price increase
4K is gimmick at the moment (big strain on 3D performance, battery life, storage capability)
VR isn't properly executed
No kickstand !
Loudspeaker is on the back, and it sucks
Front and rear glass more vulnerable than ever before
Bezel-size around 73%, still short of the 80% golden point

Man these specs make the N9 and Jolla seem like a joke.
:'(

Won't buy on the basis of these specifications. Might buy the next, even-numbered iteration (I passed also on version 3).

Concerning the infamous rear speaker, I had a nice improvement by installing and fiddling with Viper4Android Fx which you can find in http://vipersaudio.com/swupdate/vipe.../download.html .
You need root.

Sound is much more convincing enabling just a little bit reverberation, speaker optimization and extra-loud even with the crappy internal loudspeaker.

Hi debernardis!

There is another mod you might consider that makes a "surround sound effect" to quote.

"This mod will activate you front earpiece speaker in conjunction with the rear main speaker any time Speaker mode is used for example playing music, watching movies, shows, you tube and so on, creating an almost surround sound type of effect. "
