Now I hold in my hands Galaxy Note 3. This is not a joke. At work (software development for Android) arrived in the morning. It is naturally impossible to tell and make photos.
But according to impressions. He's great. He himself at one time wanted Nout 2, but did not like the screen. Amoled do not like. I myself go with the HTC One, whose screen I consider ideal.
So, in the laptop screen .. how to say it ... stunning. White is not distorted under any tilt, fantastic clarity, contrast. It looks altogether even better than my HTC One. A small text is still on my device, but it is understood - Pentyle is still there. Although it is necessary to ochchchen look.
Oct version. Everything flies with a whistle. In Antututu he knocked out well so for 30k.
Any software chips in bulk. Maybe in C4 it was the same, but it still amazes. I will go further to understand.
Comrades, unfortunately, I can not say the exact characteristics of the device for obvious reasons. I can just answer questions (if any) on use.
No design yet. I have a test sample. In the case, which will never go on sale (this is an absolutely accurate fact). Brick, only straight lines. However, I like this brutality. The dimensions should be measured, but in my hand it is normal, One seems even small (they lived, it is called). In my opinion, it will be like with C4. In the case of the previous model stuck a large screen.
RAM - in my copy is not what will be in the release.
The battery is more than Nout 2. The exact capacity on the battery is smeared with paint.
Octa works fine. Quadrant, Antutu, Geekbech tests pass without errors. In Quadrant, the result is good, so more of my HTC
Unreleased software. Something is not, something is not working as it should.
But the screen here is really very good. White is real. I look at the device for autonomy on Monday - it is now charging.
Posted on 08/16/2013, 14:44: HTC One will eventually change to Note3?
Already thought. This copy of the Note will be on hand for another couple of months, let's see how it behaves. But I already like the power of the device (and it is not the final software), a large and cool screen, although it is not clear how it will act amoled on the eyes. On the Galaxy s3, it was difficult to delve into the text for a long time, unlike ips or tft screens. Very pleased with the slot for the SD card and a replaceable battery. Whip up here something from Mugen-Power - there will be a bomb!
No other way. NDA. I don’t know, you can make a photo in a plastic brick test case.
Battery. There is a number in the whr. How to get in mA? Divide by voltage?
While not particularly loaded apparatus. But while walking through the menus, installing various applications and browsing websites, and while charging, heats up
slightly around the camera (above). In the same mode, One was heated much more noticeable and all over his back. Under load, I will try no earlier than Monday. It is still necessary to take it back from a colleague from the department.
Any idea how to trotting? There are CPU stats, which shows the kernel load and frequency. I can only see what the maximum frequency is set under load. And it is higher than C4.
By the way, in Nout 2 what was the charge, how many amperes?
Anyone interested in this device. Touched him a little more in the morning, but so far I had to give up the commercials until the evening - the turn (=
The screen in the sun through light clouds remains well readable, better than the HTC One. Problems bring only fingerprints on the surface of the glass, the display itself is very good.
Pentayl there (in fact, different and promised not to specification). If you really look closely, you can see that there is no strict horizontal or vertical lines - visible characteristic "mesh." Compared with C3, where pentayl exactly there. The picture is similar, though Nouta3 of -this higher resolution effect is less noticeable. In general, images and videos on this screen looks better (rather) than in the HTC One. Small and not much text - better to One. This IMHO, of course. I think many here pentayla not notice, and the screen will be a hundred magnificent.
And yes, we do not have cunning developer priblud, such as measuring fps and the like. Normal user machine. And in most cases (but not all), cpu stats, the system panel pro and the adb interface together with Eclipse is enough to test the software.
Tests of iron in terms of "how much better / worse the HTC One" will be, but later. Although the meaning of them? The firmware is far from final, and what's better is so clear on Antutut, Geekbench2, Quadrant. But now we can say (again, without surprise), the device is very fast and does not think.
Yes, how many Nout 2 batteries in Wh is worth?

So there will be a lot of software chips
Compared with HTC, they are not comparable anymore. The browser itself still did not look carefully, so far only from the words of the programmer that he worked with him today.
What else you like - there is a flash next to the camera. And some manufacturers forget about such an arch-useful thing as a flashlight.
Question. There are several contacts on the back of the case that look like antenna connectors (the analogy is HTC Sensation). On Nout 2 and c4 was something like that? Somehow used, or is it a feature of the developer sample?
Here is an example from the Sensation.
Again received in his orders Nout3. The copy is completely pre-release.
While charging, I drive tests on it. Launched a new GeekBench 3. The device passed it correctly (just do it, it normally works out all the applications that you feed it). Compared with its HTC One, where Snapdragon 600 1.73 Ghz (in the laptop - Octa at a higher frequency, although lower than the symbolic two GHz). In the standings for one core, Van spoke on a par, I would even say better. In multi-threading testing, Nout3 is more powerful.
The screen is just an individual thing. Compare again with his Van. Pentyle is, coupled with less clarity due to the larger physical size of the screen - the text on the NTS looks better and more comfortable (for me) to read. On the Note, I am a little strained by the increased contrast. In general, time will tell how it really is.
Screen.
I notice this. if black text on a white background (book) - white becomes a little gray, as though a dusty sheet of paper. But if there are color pictures on the page (website, for example), white becomes almost perfectly clean.
I ran Linpack in single-threaded and multi-threaded mode - The laptop is 70-90 percent faster than my Van (the results jump on both devices). This, I'm sorry, how?
Optimize new octas. Considering the test sample and my zero experience with big.LITTLE processors architecture ... The machine tries to use a simple Cortex-A7 cluster at the minimum frequency, only with a long high load, switching to the Cortex-A15 core. It's good.
Autonomy on unexpended battery. Mixed use with medium brightness. Mixed use: installing applications, downloading files, reading websites, using applications, studying the phone. For an hour I ate 11 percent. I think with autonomy after a couple of cycles everything should be very good.

Just this is bad, apparently, because of this, in S4, octet periodically causes lags in the interface, browser, because the system is still trying to pull on a weak A7 and for a long time pulls with the inclusion of a15.
Well, such is the processor architecture. Either everything is always fast (Snapdragon), or very economical (Octa). Switching clusters quickly can not be done, but to understand when switching them is also not a trivial task. I did not hold c4 in my hands, but Nout3 was just not done with the final firmware. So, it’s too early to judge the smoothness of the interface.
Chased 3Dmark. In the standard scene, the results are strange, in the "advanced" - above Adreno320HF 400 Mhz in the Snapdragon 600. However, the program said that I have a "Mystery machine!".
GLBENCHMARK tried on stage with a dinosaur in offscreen. Faster on HTC One rather.
Pro battery on tests. He eats, of course, with a big appetite, but he will live longer compared to other flagships, and the difference will not be in minutes anymore. This is just an eye on the behavior of the device under load.
But the heating pleased. It gets a little warm in the upper half after 20 minutes of 3D tests. The HTC One by this time was evenly very warm.
A little thought. You can take the final version. On Snapdragon800 and with a large battery. And then sometimes my devices want to eat more and more than I do.
I'll get to the camera and other things today. With the work of the SoC need to understand.
About the work of the cores. Are there any tools that show the download of both clusters at once? All popular applications known to me show the download and maximum frequency of the currently active only (cpu stats, system panel, cpu z). The fact that the “powerful” A15 “came on” can be judged by the frequency - in the A7 it is less than two times.

For me personally, after the screen is super amoled in note2, the screen at ZU seemed more pleasant to look at. (The screen compared not to a photo, but live.)
I agree. For me, a good IPS is more comfortable because of lower contrast. On AMOLED, it cuts the eye during prolonged reading. Although on Nout3 I like this amoled more than on the adjacent C2 and C3. Unfortunately, in my copy there is no possibility to change the color profiles, as it was for the models mentioned. I think, with the availability of such a screen, you can make it even better.
Oh yes. The flash is similar to LED.
Another thought. It seems that the final design (more precisely, the shape of the external rim) will be less fragile than C3 and C4. It looks like a picture from the cap, which is on the right. Rear view is different. Front - it looks like (although all the bricks with the touch screen are similar). These are my guesses.
About the test with a dinosaur in offscreen. My custom is comparable to Sony SU. But, I think, in the final copy will be more.
And now PICTURES !!!
The body is covered up (sorry, although it is already temporary by just over 100 percent).
Apparatus in hand:
The screen is C2.

Forcibly can be disabled.
Undoubtedly somehow possible. Only I have it by itself in single-threaded mode is entered. Reboot saved. What else to expect from nereliznogo devaysa? And just do the work well. Holding a minimum frequency A7 nuclei A15 switches on only when really necessary. I even like it. Not yet figured out the energy-saving mode. What is there of clusters and at what frequency works. It would be nice if necessary to use only the A7, which is sufficient for most tasks, and eat quite a bit of energy.

I meant to run Antutu and immediately go to the system tuner (while leaving the benchmark to work). And so while you go, the percents of degrees to 20 - 30 cool
And he did. For 15 minutes, the test worked, then switched to system tuner. So surprised. It cools off after the load is removed quickly.
They asked about the screen. I do not observe color loops (what distinguishes C4 there, judging by the reviews). Such a good screen. Read with him normally. When tilted, it gives a little blue (typical for amoled).
Charges from the complete charger quickly, even with such a capacious battery. However, in the charger is not one ampere to return.
PS Nearby now is an old HTC, 4 inches and qHD resolution (HTC EVO Design C715e). Android 2.3. The difference between them is huge. But on the interface, I somehow cozier NTS. Samsung uses mostly white letters, black background, flat graphic elements. Okay, there will be no holivar to breed.
