Samsung Galaxy Note 5 & Edge+ Rumor Thread

Recommended Posts

Having a note 2, which I still love, I was waiting for the note 5 but it seams it will just be a bigger s6 w stylus. I know it will perform great but I hate that Samsung followed apple and restricted our options as far as removable sd card and battery which made Samsung different than apple which I dont like. I guess im going LG now.

Could the trend of the Note line missing out on the latest and greatest be broken? 3X CA?

 

ATT Note 5 + Edge has 3xCA while VZW Note 5 + Edge does not and have 2xCA. 

 

T-mobile and Sprint has yet to pop up.

I heard today from a samsung rep that they have been told august is blacked out for PTO. They only do that for big device launches. He seems to think they will announce and launch a note 5 in Aug.

TMO variants can do 3xCA and USM can only do 2xCA. Therefore, probably only 2xCA for Sprint too.

Which one is which?  If the USCC variant A3LSMG928R4 is any indication, one of these two handsets looks to be another recent Samsung RF turd.

Discovered by staff upon upload to the OET. Wall article in the making. 

 

And yes. 2xCA on the downlink, typical LTE band 2/4/5/12/25/26/41 support, no SVLTE,.. yada yada.

Also unsurprisingly VoWiFi and no VoLTE testing. Is the technical description of LTE Carrier Aggregation pairs located in a report which is not publicly available or under some kind of confidentiality?

Bummer. Samsung was one of the only ones which included the LTE CA pairs in the main doc other than LG. Even Motorola started including it in some of their docs. Can we petition to have the FCC "test" and "certify" the LTE CA pairs (so we can see of course)?

When CA is only downlink, the FCC has no recourse, as CA makes no changes in uplink transmission.

Fire in the hole!

I was all excited for thth note but this rf thing is making step back. I can't believe it didn't scorbetter..

 

I'm completely "meh" too. No USB C (or even 3.0), no 4K screen for VR. Lack of an SD card can be made up by the 128GB storage option, but in total it just seems to be a worse RF performing Note 4 with CA.

I think for some reason Samsung expects note users to sit in an office and use it with WiFi...just don't get it. Seems like Samsung is just trying to stay with apple

    • I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.
    • Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.
    • My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.
    • https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
