After announcing its intentions to launch the Galaxy Note 4 in over 140 countries by the end of October, Samsung is offering up more details on when the device will be available in countries across the globe.
In the South East Asian markets, Singapore will be the first country to receive the Galaxy Note 4, with the device scheduled to launch on October 11. Singapore is followed by a launch in India on October 10, Thailand on October 13, Myanmar on October 15, Cambodia on October 17, Vietnam on October 24, and Laos, Indonesia & Philippines on October 25.
In the US, the Galaxy Note 4 will be launching on October 17, which is the same day most countries in Europe also receive the device. Based on the region, Samsung will launch the Snapdragon 805 variant or the octa-core Exynos 5433 version.
How many of you will be picking up the Galaxy Note 4 once it launches?

Samsung sheds more light on when the Galaxy Note 4 is launching in your country
I'm more interested in what countries the note edge will be available
Are they going to fix the gap in the screen? Until they do, I'm not buying a Galaxy 4, as much as I want one.
There is a gap in the note 3 as well. Know why the note 4's gap is in the news? Only ammo apple has to criticize the note 4.

I currently have the LG G3. I will not be purchasing the Note 4 because it'll be a lateral move.
When I upgrade phones, I want it to be an upgrade, not a lateral transition.
Was considering it (I have a Note 3) but Shamu is looking interesting...
Explain
Posted via the Android Central App
I'm not sure what there is to explain. They're both phablets -- and though I love the S Pen, I *could* live without it, especially if I get pure Android without the S Note, S Planner, S Translator, etc -- which I never use.
It might also depend on storage on Shamu. If it's just 32gb, I doubt I'd be happy with that.
Anyway, the recent Shamu news has caused me to think about leaving Sammy even though I've had a Note 2 and now a 3. The thing I like best about it is the size rather than pretty much everything else, and Shamu has the size.
I pre-ordered mine on Monday, I can't wait! I've had all 3 notes so far and I love them!

I realize you believe you're protected by your freedom of speech rights, but your 'consistent' use of combative and offensive language in these forums is appalling and should not be tolerated.
It degrades the quality of the interchange herein and frankly displays either immaturity, ignorance, or both.
Hopefully it's possible for you to express your opinions in a civil manner.
And who are you to tell me what I should do? Nobody. And personally I don't care. Don't like it, don't read my posts. Simple as that. And I find it offensive and appalling for you to tell me what offends you. Just like a typical libtard, just because it "offends" you, then it should never, EVER, be said, written, or implied in any way, shape, or form so it doesn't make you upset.
Like I said....don't like it, don't read it.
You use of the word "libtard" makes you lose all credibility.
This white guy right here is picking up a Note 4 ASAP! Soon as it is releases, it's going to be scooped up. My Note 2 been great to me and then some. ,
I was looking at the pre-order page at samsung.com. Why is the unlocked version not available? I want that one but it only shows for the carriers and not unlocked.
This is not the gap you're looking for.

I was gonna wait for the note edge, but I think with the "limited" release, I'll just get the note 4. If I get a chance, maybe I'll grab an edge as well, but I doubt it.
It could come stock with a cracked screen and I'd still get it. I've never owned a note but I will be getting this phone on the 17th. Nexus phones are too underwhelming.
Saving grace of Samsung..
i might buy this..

I'm really interested in seeing the Note Edge. But I'm excited for the N4 to drop here in the states.
Posted via Android Central App on my Note 3
I was excited for the Edge until I realized it discriminated against left handed people :( And also when i realized that with it being a limited release type of thing...how many developers are really going to develop things for the edge portion of the screen? I would be concerned that you'll be stuck with the stock options and that's it. Kind of like how there are only a handful of apps for the Galaxy Gear watch because no developers are developing for it.
I love my S5 but I think I will be walking into the AT&T store on the 17th. I'm just too intrigued. Justification to myself "it will make you more productive"

Pre-ordered @ Best Buy. $200.00 gift card when pre-ordering from them.
$200 GC w/ any phone trade -in. You can get $200 from Samsung if you pre-order somewhere else.
That's cause Best Buy jacks up the price of their phones. When I went looking to pick up the Note 2 at full price, Best Buy wanted $800. Sprint sold it to me for $650. Cheaper not on sale from Sprint, than it was with $100 off from Best Buy. I would recommend you price shop.
Does any one with the Note 3 notice the gapgate issue? I didn't notice it in the store. If it is a lint magnet than the would suck but other wise I don't really care as long as it is at least as durable as my s3. The only durability I had with the s3 is the usb port. I will go straight to wireless charging with the note 4 so that should be a non issue.
People like to blow things out of proportion. I went down to best buy and I could not tell the difference between the note 3's edges and the note 4's. I guess you can cram something in there if you really tried but that's the same with bendgate. If you really want to bend your phone it will, if you really want to shove a business card into the separation from glass to metal on the note 4 you probably can but the phone is amazing nonetheless. Someone here posted they were underwhelmed with the specs of this phone LOL, how much more power do you need. NOTE 4 FTW!
I have a Note 3 and sure I can fit a piece of paper in the edge. I've had dollars get stuck in there with both in my pocket, but it has never been a "lint magnet" and neither will the Note 4. Even if it is, it's not a huge deal to get a can of compressed air and blow it out or something.
I was wondering the same thing.. Haven't heard note 3 folds complain about this. In my S4 and S5 there was zero gap and it would a chore to pry the edge back enough to get the gap described in reports...
Maybe the note 4 edge is a better solution???
Posted via Android Central App
I have the Note 2 and sure enough, I can push my fingernail into the sides. Some areas are easier than others. I've had this phone for 23 months, no lint or dirt along this area. Mind you, I haven't seen the Note 4 in person.
I've had my Note 3 since the week they came out and I've never even noticed any kind of gap. I took it out of the case just now to really look. I was able to shove the corner of a post-it note in there, with a little effort, but I can' honestly say it's not something I've ever even noticed or thought to look for.
Nope too fixated on the Note Edge still. I have a S5 that I don't care for, so I'm using my S3 as it's still my favorite device.. I also wanted a BB Passport to play with, but it's only GSM.
I hope the Note4 is as good or better than my note 3, don't let me down Sammy!

I'm waiting to compare it to the Nexus 6 or Nexus X or whatever they call it.
I want the note edge
I have to wait until Sprint makes it available to employees. My wife is finally leaving iPhone for this phone. I really want the edge but I don't know if it'll even be available.
Yea the Galaxy Nexus was my first step into Samsung not the way to begin a relationship with a new manufacturer. It was the worst phone I've ever owned.
Posted via Android Central App
I would be getting it if I didn't just get the Note 3 a few weeks ago. I figured this would be sufficient until the Note 5 next year.
Posted via the Android Central App
For most people who have a Note 3, i definitely agree the Note 4 isn't really worth the upgrade. For crazy people like me who love shiny new toys...I'm getting the Note 4 even though my Note 3 has served me very well.
I'm debating joining you in the "crazy people" section, because I do so love shiny new toys.
Join us! We have cake!
One of my questions is about feature changes to Note 3 . If the Note 3 does not get the software updates, I will consider upgrading. Although on Edge it almost seems silly not to upgrade.
Posted via Android Central App
I too did this and I was satisfied until I played with a demo unit in Best Buy. It's pretty solid build wise, the use of metal made a significant difference in terms of feel when I compare my 3 and the 4. Not to mention the new TW UI, which I am confident will eventually trickle down to the 3. It makes for a somewhat unexpected longing for something I was otherwise content to go without.
Posted via Android Central App
Still not decided on the Note 4 my Note 3 has has done me well but I'm one to jump around to different manufacturers about once a year.
Posted via Android Central App
I sorta do the same thing. But mostly because I follow the Nexus release schedule. I haven't had a Samsung device since my Galaxy Nexus. And even though I have my reservations about that phone, before that I had the Galaxy S II which was a great device. So I'm kinda looking forward to rocking a Samsung device again. TouchWiz will probably change that outlook pretty quickly, but we will see.
Posted via the Android Central App
Throw Nova or Action Launcher on there and you'll be fine.
Im a Nexus guy myself but I did preorder. To be fair though, I order everything. I'm actually pretty excited to give it a run around the block. Looks like a great device. Will probably order the Moto X at some point as well

Is there anyone with an age of 13 or higher that responds? Unreal!
I think there has been quite a large "exodus" of users flocking around the supposed Nexus 6 "shamu" 5.9 Phablet, as it appears to be the product the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 should have been. Not to mention the latest "Gapgate" fiasco with the Note 4 that they call a "feature". Do you know how easy it is to modify manual pdf or manuals in general with that last minute bs. If traditon holds true the Nexus 6 should be in T-Mobile stores on November 20th, which is really not that much of a wait. I already cancelled my Note 4 preorder.
The Note 4 will probably outsell the Nexus 6 by 10 to 1 at least. And that's just because it will be available on pretty much every carrier. Not to mention Samsung actually advertises and their software is designed for a phablet along with the s-pen. The Nexus 6 is a just a gigantic phone like the Galaxy Mega. How many did that sell?
Yes. The Galaxy Note 4 does have a one month jump on the Nexus 6 and the Galaxy Note line has a bigger market for "phablet" type phones. The problem is that many die hard Note users have been a little underwhelmed with specs on several Note releases. Samsung really has been underwhelming us since they higher end Samsung Galaxy S2 and the Note 1. The fact that the Galaxy Note 4 only had a 5.7 was sort of the nail in the coffin and most likely was done to not overly exceed the size of the IPhone 6 plus. The S-pen is great, but its really a gimmick unless your an artist. LG has already proved with their "Qmemo" app that the finger is just as useful as a S-pen for simple notes and is faster. Samsung are software gimmick makers. Some of its useful, but its not a deal breaker. The Galaxy MEGA was and continues to be a lower end phone, with lower end specs, and a lower end screen. It's obvious why it does not get the sales numbers. Everyone wants the latest highend flagship phone, that is what sells.
I - a die hard Note user - am by no means underwhelmed. I can guarantee that zero thought about Apples twistie phone went into Samsung's decision to keep the size of the Note 4 at 5.7. Any bigger and it wouldn't sell. After owning a Nexus 7, I for one will never buy another Nexus product - too blasted boring for me. I could care less if the N6 transitions to another page .00002 seconds faster than the Note 4 or gets updates faster. I'd rather wait for the bugs to get ironed out of the updates so you Nexus folk can continue to beta test Android for the rest of us.
See.. when you start your sentence with "a die hard Note user" you tell us that no matter what anyone says, you will disagree on the account that you love Samsung. I think you have a valid point when it comes to Samsung being the phablet leader.
But I also think they are doing like Apple and just reheating the same product every year and people are starting to get bored.
Pretty sure he did that because the post be responded to mentioned "die hard Note users"
Posted via Android Central App
A UHD screen, a revamped S-Pen, and a premium feel of metal instead of plastic is a huge advantage over "other" note products. Not to mention the SD 805 and updated graphics.
So no, it's not the same product. Apple is the same product in a different shell.
Also, I've done note-taking with a pen and with my finger in various apps.. The pen is faster and clearer for me... It is a strong feature and attraction of the galaxy note line!
(But I admit some folks might be able to use the finger for note taking quickly.... Just not me:-)
Posted via Android Central App
Considering the Note 3 shipped with the fastest SoC on the market, and the Note 4 will also ship with the fastest chip on the market (the same chip that will be in the Nexus 6) I'm not really sure what specs that you believe Note users have been "underwhelmed" by.
I use the stylus on my Note 3, almost daily. And, yes, I *could* take notes with my finger but why the hell would I want to?
I'm perfectly happy with the 5.7" screen size, and I don't want them to go any bigger with the Note. And I don't believe for one second that the iPhone 6+ had anything to do with the decision to keep the screen size at 5.7, like it was on the Note 3. If Samsung was concerned about what size screen Apple was using for the iPhone, we would have never had the Note series.
You say Samsung are "gimmick makers" but I don't think you fully appreciate how much Android has changed *because* of Samsung's "gimmicks". I doubt anybody uses *every* little feature that Samsung packs into their devices, but I know a lot of people use different subsets of them. That's Samsung's goal: something for everybody.
If that timeline holds true, it gives me plenty of time to mess around with the Note 4 in the interim. T-Mobile has a 20 day from the date of delivery return policy.
Posted via the Android Central App
Yeah. That's definitely an option. I'm just a little underwhelmed with the Note 4 specs. For me the Note 4 was just going to be the only good offering to use with my Jump upgrade and was not that exciting. Especially if you were hoping for a 5.9 or a 6 inch screen. We all know with less bezel, Samsung could have given us a 6 inch phone no problem. For me the Nexus 6 was a natural choice. So I got my Zerolemmon 10000 battery case and 128gb sd card ready to ride out until I get that Nexus 6 "shamu" beast.
I was about ready to buy this phone, but I have no time for crappy hardware (whether it is by design or not) and I am not interested in Samsung's new pocket cleaning function. I like my lint where it is, not stuck in my phone.
Thanks for the commentary, we'll all be sure to file it somewhere labeled "Important."
Who said I was important? I thought the comments section was for sharing opinions and discussion? So many butt hurt samsung fans out today, isn't school in session?
Still on unemployment? Food stamps? Section 8?
Your opinion doesn't matter as you are nothing. A porcelain throne is even more important than you....
Now go play.
Yes, by all means, take the word of a handful of people from Korea, who are the only ones who have been able to get the phone. DO NOT MAKE A DECISION BASED OFF YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE, WHATEVER YOU DO!!!! YOU MUST TAKE WHAT EVERYONE SAYS AT FACE VALUE!
Personally, I don't know why you wouldn't want a Note 4, considering all the new features that I claim it has. They even integrated the Wave technology that is in the new iPhone. You know, the one that charges your phone in the microwave? Don't bother looking it up. Just take my word for it, because I'm on the internet and that means I'm 100% credible.
Hey bro, check out the owners manual, Samsung addresses it specifically there.
I read it, chief. It's just a generic legal disclaimer in a manual. Whatever, do what you want, it's your right if you want to let anonymous people from the internet dissuade you from buying something you wanted as opposed to seeing for yourself if it's an issue for you.
Me, I believe you just wanted to bitch about Samsung and never had any intention of getting the phone in the first place.
You both may be right...
The answer might be to just bring your business card to a phone dealer, grab a real Note 4 (when they are available) and hunt for this gap... I will... At least we know what to look for in advance!
:-(

Best Buy has them on display. The gap is in a different place on all 3 units.
it's in every manual since the S3 through the Note 4. Get over it.
Please note that on the map, the red dot is located in CANADA, not USA. Does this mean that the phone will be released at the same time in Canada and USA ?
I would assume it's the same release day, yes. The dot is on Canada and the description added by AC mentions the US on the same date, so I'll assume it they've covered both bases. :)
Can't wait to get one.
Way to not care about Canada. Good thing I already hate Samsung.
Posted via the Android Central App
What are you talking about?? It's the same day as the US. In fact, there's only 1 dot for both US and Canada and that dot is on Canadian soil.
You just wanted to troll didn't you. The map clearly showed US/Canada as the same release date.
They could have atleast put the dot on the border of Canada & US. My first thought was that US didn't have a release date because the dot was way up in Canadian territory.
I have this preordered but not excited for some reason. The N6 doesn't jump out to me. I'm more interested in the Z3. We'll see.
Welcome back.

i guess canada falls into the US category... there's only 1 pinkish dot for all of NA
Clearly the US falls into the Canada category you mean. That dot is clearly on our land lol.
Considering Canada, the United States and Mexico are all one giant country now, it doesn't really matter. Just waiting for our new currency to debut - The Amero.
Thought about getting it, but changed my mind. Too big, too much bloat. I went with the Moto X.
I think I'll be happy with that. Coming back to Android after my 3 year stint with iOS, I'm excited to be back!
No one asked you the question.
Posted via Android Central App
What kind of welcome back to Android is that? Proper etiquette is to first welcome someone back and then rip their comment.
Actually, someone did. Read the last line of the article dummy.
@Jayjay234 I never quite understand why trolls like you have to come in here and make stupid comments, And why is it most trolls don't seem to know how to read seeing in the ends of the post they asked who would be getting the Note 4.
@jayjay234 No one asked you to reply...
As if the new Moto X is a considered a small phone... Unless, of course, you went with the old one in which case you made a good choice.
In comparison to the note 4, the moto X 2013 is pretty small...

welcome back!
Welcome back to Android!
Apple is tempting.. But that boring, no info home screen chased me away and keeps me from seriously considering Iphone.
I am addicted to customizing my home screen, and android meets that need perfectly!
I, too, was thinking of upgrading to the Note 4..
However it's not the bloatware that scares me... (I actually like quite a few of those features!)
It's the potentially bad build quality issue.
Past notes seem to have been really well made... But just read an AC article about the note 4 having a gap between the phone screen and frame that is big enough to hold business cards!
Moreover, Alex (author) pointed out a comment in the new note 4 manual (p. 180?) that tried to explain away this problem as a design/ assembly element....
Not good:-(
Hate to look elsewhere, but I don't need another business card holder.. as a smart phone.
Posted via Android Central App
One guy posted it on you tube and it's now a deal breaker? Seriously? Those comments Samsung made is in EVERY manual since the S3 and now it's no different. Everyone has said....go to best buy and look at it....no gap at all. I even went to my local BB and whuuuuuuut?? No gap there either.
No. You just couldn't wait for it.
Ignore Jayjay. Welcome back!
