It's 64GB, not 320GB. If people insist feeding on their marketing spiel by including the potential maximum with SD card, then I'll say the Note 4 has 192GB. Heck, why not go all the way to the SDXC limit and say this phone has 4064GB.

I'm kinda wondering if OP is actually a marketing rep from Saygus. On account that he's doing exactly what I'd expect from, you know, a marketing rep from Saygus

[–]chris1096 12ポイント13ポイント  (7子コメント)

I liked the "dream speced" part. Why does it have such an old processor?

[–]TomMadoGalaxy Note 3 N9005 7ポイント8ポイント  (2子コメント)

Naah, I'm pretty sure OP isn't. Because despite of the storage capacity over-exaggeration from Saygus (that somehow other publications repeat it obligingly), the other specifications and features sounds great, and I'm sure people like OP would like others to know about, too.

I just don't like how they advertise a simple addition of another microSD slot.

It would be neat if it can use SD cards in RAID, get some decent speed from them maybe.

RAID is not backup.

[–]picodroidVZW GS7E -2ポイント-1ポイント  (6子コメント)

RAID is not a single thing, so you're just flat out wrong.RAID has more than 5 different ways it can function in traditional setups.

RAID 1 does exactly that. Sure, it doesn't offload data elsewhere so if something happened to the phone the info is still gone, but I was referring to the card failing, which microSD cards are highly susceptible to.

[–]HypotheticalGenius -2ポイント-1ポイント  (5子コメント)

No, I'm not.

RAID 1:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels#RAID_1

http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/08/raid-levels-tutorial/

Definition of backup:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/backup#5

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/backup

While RAID isn't recommended as a sole backup option, it can be better than nothing. As as mentioned, microSD cards have a relatively high failure rate so this could be useful to some who can't worry about their data becoming corrupted.

[–]HypotheticalGenius -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

And if you accidentally delete a file? Oh, you just deleted it twice.

What if you overwrite a file by mistake? Now you have two copies.

Mirroring is not a backup solution. http://m.slashdot.org/story/112253

[–]tsj5jGalaxy Note 4 -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

RAID is not a backup.

It doesn't protect against accidental or malicious deletions, nor loss of device, and a bad raid controller can leave both disks corrupted.

RAID is designed for increased speed and/or recovery from disk crashes. A backup protects from far more issues.

[–]iytrix -2ポイント-1ポイント  (1子コメント)

RAID 1 is direct mirroring, effectively a backup. If one SD dies on you, the second will work fine, and as long as you put in a new, second SD then you will never lose data from failure

[–]HypotheticalGenius 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

RAID 1 is direct mirroring

Why does everyone keep telling me this like I don't know what RAID is?

then you will never lose data from failure

Until your phone falls in the water, gets stolen, catches on fire or gets smashed by a dump truck.

from SD card failure

This is how that statement should read and this is the key phrase that differentiates RAID from a backup. A true backup would protect your data in the event of any hardware failure or total loss of device/data.

If you are using RAID as your backup solution, you're going to have a bad time.

Of course none of this really matters because they aren't going to implement RAID on this device or any others for quite a long time - if ever.

[–]FreudJesusGod -5ポイント-4ポイント  (1子コメント)

It can be. I have no idea which types of RAID you can run on Android, though.

[–]HypotheticalGenius 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

No it can't. RAID provides redundancy, no backup. If you are running raid on 2 SD cards in your phone and you drop it in a lake, do you still have your data? No, because it wasn't backed up. If you're phone is stolen, do you still have pictures of your cat stuck in a shoebox? No, because you had redundant copies of your data, but you didn't have a BACKUP.

Not a dream spec though.

They just use LCD for cost and supply reasons, not because they don't want OLED.

The lack of OLED on LG, HTC, and Apple smartphones means the only place you can get a smartphone with a high quality display is Samsung, Nokia (Windows Phone though, so useless), or Motorola.

Even the OnePlus One went ahead and gimped itself with LCD. Oh well.

[–]mrbearbear 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

Isn't there currently a burn in issue with oled?

[–]Heaney555Moto X 2014 (6.0) 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

OLED has been around in Smartphones since around 2009.

Back in 2009/2010 there was a terrible burn in issue.

In 2011 it improved a lot.

Then in 2012 it improved a huge leap, to the point where my GS3 I replaced 1 month ago never had burn in.

In 2013 it improved another huge leap.

As of 2015, with the 2014 devices (Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S5) it's a non-issue.

People seem to have this thing with new technologies where they don't get that an implementation flaw is not a principle flaw.

For example, would you step on an airliner in the 1950s (knowing the safety records)? Nope!

Would you do so in 2015? Yes. Millions do it every day.

OLED displays today will more than outlast the 2-4 years of consumer smartphone usage.

I didn't say it was low quality, I simply said that it's not up to the same level as OLED, so "flagship" phones and "dream spec" phones should, in an ideal world, not be using it.

I've seen the OnePlus One side by side with the Galaxy S5, and I've seen the LG G3 side by side with the Note 4. OLED wins in both cases.

You're right, a 4k screen to cut through battery life is what /r/Android is all about. 3GB RAM without having to run Touchwiz (even better, it's close to stock Android, meaning 1GB would have been acceptable). A removable battery and QI charging. And base 64GB on-board storage is a step up from the base 16 or 32 that Apple or Google are going with currently. The IP67 rating is a nice bonus, and it's easily unlockable to boot.

[–]AR-47Nexus 6 1ポイント2ポイント  (3子コメント)

Wahh the screen is only 1080p. The Droid Turbo is the smallest QHD phone you can get, and that was overkill as fuck. And the only difference between the 801 and 805 is how well they benchmark.

I have the Turbo, and I wish it was a 1080p screen. Its such a small screen that you can't tell the difference, and a 1080p screen uses less battery. And more battery is almost always a good thing.

I mean, you have to pretty much try to kill the battery on that thing to make it die in a single day. A 1080p probably would have saved me the like... 3 times my phone died in a single day.

Agreed. I have only managed to kill it once, and I am a fairly heavy user. Most days i end with around 30%. But i mean, you can never have too much battery life. I am also thinking about 2 years from now when my battery isnt as strong as it is today.

Aaaand they priced themselves into irrelevance. Well done.

It's $200 less than a Nexus 6 where I am. The price point they're at is hardly uncompetitive.

So you spend $549 for the phone and an extra $200 for both of the 128GB Cards.

And I've finally seen someone bitch that a 128GB storage device the size of your fingernail costs $100.

Or: how is it different from devices that don't have external storage, but cost the same?
