Dear frequency fairy. It's me again. I know your probably tired of me asking and I hope it is within your power to help a poor lost cellular soul realize a world where sprint is on top and has a natio

Actually, the various Galaxy Note 3 FCC OET authorization docs must have been trickling in over the past few minutes because there are more now, including this one:   https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/

ig there is nothing higher than 1080p lol nvm

You can get a higher resolution display for sure but at this point 1080p is more than sufficient for a mobile device.  The nexus 10 has a much higher resolution which is appropriate being that it has a larger 10 inch screen.

I think even 720 is still more than enough.

1080p is the highest resolution for most commercial video out there, only in theaters will you find a higher resolution of video. 

 

On a device this size, 1080p is almost overkill.

On a device this size, 1080p is almost overkill. 

 

Actually, it's the large quantity of material out there that is available in 1080p that makes it wonderful to have a screen that can display that natively. Not having to downscale the video saves some CPU cycles and hence battery life.

 

Also, because of the PenTile ("Diamond") sub-pixel arrangement used by Samsung, the reduced number of red and blue sub-pixels lead to a PPI that is effectively lower than that of the iPhone 5 (312 vs. 326, vs 441 for the S4's green sub-pixels). This becomes clear when viewing fine text or graphics. For me (and I have slightly better than 20/20 vision after correction), I cannot distinguish the S4's pixels when viewing photos or video, but can make them out when reading text close-up on a white background. If nothing else, the bump to 1080p has largely rendered the debate over PenTile moot.

 

As noted by DisplayMate, a true Retina Display would have a PPI of at least 572 when viewed from 12 inches away with near perfect (20/10) vision. So if or when someone reaches 600 PPI, that would officially be overkill.

 

The Note 3 will of course have a larger screen than the S4, so if it is still 1080p, the PPI will be lower. Still, even at phablet size (5-7") there shouldn't be a notable deterioration in sharpness. My hope for the Note 3 display is that they further refine some of AMOLED's shortcomings, such as brightness and contrast in high ambient (e.g. outdoor) light, and tone down the saturation.

 

Tl;dr... I love the 1080p display on my S4 and think it is the best display I've ever seen on a mobile device, but will concede not much more resolution is needed unless you have the eyes of a hawk (20/10 or better, with 20/8 being the human record). Going forward, Samsung should ignore their marketing department and instead focus on improving other aspects of the display.

 

I'm guessing that this will have tri-band LTE as well?

 

It almost certainly will, but be warned that at least the first wave of tri-band handsets will lack both SVDO and SVLTE. It's a shame there weren't any dual-band LTE phones that would forego TDD support (not necessary for those of us in areas where it is unlikely to reach or be deployed) but still be able to utilize SVLTE with either FDD band.

Yes it will be triband.  The last LTE phone that will be single band LTE is the Moto X since it passed the FCC back in late May.  I just hope that the Galaxy Note 3 this time will support 5 and 10 MHz bandwidths at 1900 MHz this time.

 

Samsung LTE phones on Sprint are notorious for only supporting 5 MHz bandwidths at 1900 MHz.  I know its not a big deal but its just that LG, Motorola and HTC have always passed their LTE phones with 5 and 10 MHz bandwidths so it will be nice if Samsung did the same.

Actually, the ZTE N9510 passed the FCC this month, and the Samsung SPH-L520 still has yet to, and for sure the ZTE is single-band LTE, and I'm assuming the SPH-L520 will be too (It's rumored to be the GS4 mini on Sprint (Unconfirmed)).

Maybe to clarify that I meant high end LTE smartphones.  I guess the iPhone is a wild card but I don't think the Galaxy Note 3 will be single band LTE.

I'm sure the GN 3 will be tri-band. They have to if they want to sell enough of them.

I am assuming it will be tri-band also, but I think the triband feature is way down on the bullet points of features for most consumers. Tri-band will have very little to do with its success or failure.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

      By Dkoellerwx · Posted

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
