Spark is just Sprint's marketing name for Tri-Band devices. Sprint uses Band 26 (800mhz), Band 25 (1900mhz extended g block), and Band 41 (2600mhz - the frequency WiMax runs on). This discusses the marketing, http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/4950-sprint-spark-official-name-for-the-tri-band-network-was-sprint-to-demo-its-25ghz-network-technology/ But I'd imagine you're wondering more about the actual semi-technical details?

Not a link to the FCC.

Can you show me where someone linked to the FCC doc and said this is not the Nexus?
-
So FCC docs has IHDT56PK2 docs up, it might be the rumored Nexus X / Nexus 6 / Shamu / WTFBBQ https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=186964&fcc_id=IHDT56PK2

Anandtech reviews of the snapdragon 805 at it can push 2560x1440 as well as the snapdragon 801 in the galaxy s5 can push 1080p.
-
Where are you seeing that? I tried looking it up but see stories about the already released versions that have Exynos Processor, not Snapdragon 805.
-
Oddly, the Galaxy S 4 and Note 4 have the same wording, mentioning only international calling. The S 5 mentions domestic calling. Fingers crossed that this is just marketing materials mix up.
-
Yeah, I looked that exact page up because I hadn't recalled it having the fishy wording of International Wi-Fi calling, and all it says is "Wi-Fi Calling for improved voice, data and messaging services in locations that previously had limited or no mobile network coverage". I'm afraid there is just enough ambuguity there for Sprint to get out any false advertising, and I can't imagine the Note 4 will be International Wi-Fi only forever.
-
Anyone have any speculation about why the Note 4 does International Wi-Fi calling but not domestic? I generally loathe conspiracy theories, but it feels like with the iPhone not supporting it, this might be intentional to try to tip the balance until Sprint hammers out Wi-Fi calling for the iPhone.
-
I can't believe Wi-Fi calling is international only. The original press release says Wi-Fi calling and doesn't say anything about it being just international. This seems like an attempt to take away a feature initially to put the iPhone on better footing.

https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/Note4/ https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/note4/en-us/Rules Nowhere in either of those does it say anything about a new line of service. You just have to be eligible for a normal upgrade (is it 22 months, 20 months now for Sprint?). Otherwise, you'd get $200 off the price of the full purchase price. You can't use the Best Buy deal to get money off Easypay because of the way the Sprint Easypay system coordinates with Best Buy.
-
The way these programs have worked in the past with Best Buy is that they immediately use the gift card towards the price of the phone. Best Buy would probably customers if they gave out the discount as Best Buy cards that don't go towards the phone. https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/Note4/ Says "Best Buy customers go in-store to redeem instantly." <- If they don't use it as discount on the phone, that wording would be wide open for false advertising.
-
Do you have a source for that? I tried looking through the 800 TA site but the reports are only up to the first quarter.
-
Someone showed off that it has been possible to do as far back as the Note II, and is mentioned in the previous manuals as well. Not sure how much an issue this is, a business card is about 0.3 mm thick. I wonder if is just they can't manufacture them to tighter specifications, or if the design is intentional to allow show absorption during drops. Samsungs battery doors are similarly designed - keep complain about them popping off during a drop, but it is intentional to allow the battery to come loose instead of its weight smashing on the phone.
-
It seems likely to be a constrained part. I can't find a definitive source, but it looks like it is Qualcomm's first 20nm modem. That means there probably aren't a lot of Fab capacity to build it, nor would yields be the best on a new process node.
-
It has MDM9625.

-
Well of course, but I wonder why they prioritized Flint over Ann Arbor, and why Sprint is doing it again for Band 41.
-
I always wondered why Flint got WiMax back in the day but Ann Arbor never had it. The populations are about the same, with Ann Arbor probably being more populated when you throw in the student population.
-
Their price match program explicitly says they won't price match online retailers for contract phone prices. You might get them to price match something like Sam's Club or Costco if they have a better price.
-
Development of the Note 4 probably began before there was RRPP / CCA in place. The reason the iPhone supports it isn't that they were forward thinking, it was that the iPhone has a lot of supported bands so that Apple has fewer versions of the phone.
