So I guess I'm getting Snapdragon after so many years with Exynos, lol, going to miss having a Wolfson DAC and a beastly GPU, but I will gain whatever Snapdragon does better.
Exynos doesn't always get a superior GPU - I.e the Note 3 exynos has an inferior GPU to Note 3 snapdragon . Anyway I hope you will enjoy your Note 4 (only 1 week left !) |

I've seen the Alpha and it has a nice solid feel like the old Samsung Wave handsets that were made of metal years ago.
I saw the Alpha in CPW the other day and really liked its better design of the S5, which I think suffered from extra bezels and such to keep the silly water proofing that nobody uses or needs. I just hope my Note 4 isn't too sharp on the edges with the metal, or I might end up buying a rubber bumper.
Isnt the difference between the Snapdragon and Exynos versions so small the end user cannot tell ? I thought only benchmarks revealed the difference.

The problem I've noticed with waterproof phones is muffled call clarity and speakers due to membranes. The S5 has a poor back speaker which vibrates the chassis. The Note 4 doesn't look like sharp edges to me. The Alpha I just think for the price it should have larger battery and SD slot then it might be ideal.

Well I get mine on the 17th according to CPW so i'll let you know how I get on.
To be honest I cant imagine it being anything other than a brilliant experience. Having spent time, quite a lot of time, with the girlfriends S5 I love the speed of the phone and the new look Touchwhiz. So on the Note 4 it'll probably be a dream.

That was actually an interesting review... But what's even more interesting was the comments that came after.
Never thought PA would become biased, but I guess they don't want to loose their Apple card...
Anyway... I'm more convinced now more than ever to not get 6+ and try out the note 4.
cheers!

It irritates me when certain people say Galaxy S5 lags when they've never owned one. No it doesn't and the Galaxy S5 was the smoothest and fastest I've ever seen TW with no lag at all except the crappy My Magazine which I turned off anyway. The Note 4 with the new TW and Snapdragon 805 will fly!!
